| 1 | Immunity Genes and Susceptibility to Otitis Media:A Comprehensive Review显示文摘Otitis media(OM) is a middle ear infection associated with inflammation and pain.This disease frequently afflicts humans and is the major cause of hearing loss worldwide.OM continues to be one of the most challenging diseases in the medical field due to its diverse host targets and wide range of clinical manifestations.Substantial morbidity associated with OM is further exacerbated by high frequency of recurrent infections leading to chronic suppurative otitis media(CSOM).Children have greater susceptibility to,and thus,suffer most frequently from OM,which can cause significant deterioration in quality of life.Genetic factors have been demonstrated,in large part by twin and family studies,to be key determinants of OM susceptibility.In this review,we summarize the current knowledge on immunity genes and selected variants that have been associated with predisposition to OM.In particular,polymorphisms in innate immunity and cytokine genes have been strongly linked with the risk of developing OM.Future studies employing state-of-the-art technologies,including next-generation sequencing(NGS),will aid in the identification of novel genes associated with susceptibility to OM.This,in turn,will open up avenues for identifying high-risk individuals and designing novel therapeutic strategies based on precise targeting of these genes. | Rahul Mittal Giannina Robalino Robert Gerring Brandon Chan Denise Yan M'hamed Grati Xue-Zhong Liu | 2014 | Journal of Genetics and Genomics2014，41，11： | 5 |
| 2 | Th1 cytokines promote T-cell binding to antigen-presenting cells via enhanced hyaluronan production and accumulation at the immune synapse显示文摘Hyaluronan(HA)production by dendritic cells(DCs)is known to promote antigen presentation and to augment T-cell activation and proliferation.We hypothesized that pericellular HA can function as intercellular‘glue’directly mediating T cell–DC binding.Using primary human cells,we observed HA-dependent binding between T cells and DCs,which was abrogated upon pre-treatment of the DCs with 4-methylumbelliferone(4-MU),an agent which blocks HA synthesis.Furthermore,T cells regulate HA production by DCs via T cell-derived cytokines in a T helper(Th)subset-specific manner,as demonstrated by the observation that cell-culture supernatants from Th1 but not Th2 clones promote HA production.Similar effects were seen upon the addition of exogenous Th1 cytokines,IL-2,interferon c(IFN-c)and tumor necrosis factor a(TNF-a).The critical factors which determined the extent of DC–T cell binding in this system were the nature of the pre-treatment the DCs received and their capacity to synthesize HA,as T-cell clones which were pre-treated with monensin,added to block cytokine secretion,bound equivalently irrespective of their Th subset.These data support the existence of a feedforward loop wherein T-cell cytokines influence DC production of HA,which in turn affects the extent of DC–T cell binding.We also document the presence of focal deposits of HA at the immune synapse between T-cells and APC and on dendritic processes thought to be important in antigen presentation.These data point to a pivotal role for HA in DC–T cell interactions at the IS. | Paul L Bollyky Stephen P Evanko Rebecca P Wu Susan Potter-Perigo S Alice Long Brian Kinsella Helena Reijonen Kelly Guebtner Brandon Teng Christina K Chan Kathy R Braun John A Gebe Gerald T Nepom Thomas N Wight | 2010 | Cellular & Molecular Immunology2010，7，3： | 3 |
