    Description: Bile acids regulate the transcription of genes that control cholesterol homeostasis through molecular mechanisms that are poorly understood. Physiological concentrations of free and conjugated chenodeoxycholic acid, lithocholic acid, and deoxycholic acid activated the farnesoid X receptor (FXR; NR1H4), an orphan nuclear receptor. As ligands, these bile acids and their conjugates modulated interaction of FXR with a peptide derived from steroid receptor coactivator 1. These results provide evidence for a nuclear bile acid signaling pathway that may regulate cholesterol homeostasis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Parks, D J -- Blanchard, S G -- Bledsoe, R K -- Chandra, G -- Consler, T G -- Kliewer, S A -- Stimmel, J B -- Willson, T M -- Zavacki, A M -- Moore, D D -- Lehmann, J M -- F32 DK09793/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK53366/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 May 21;284(5418):1365-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biochemistry, Glaxo Wellcome Research and Development, Research Triangle Park NC, 27709, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10334993" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Treatment-resistant Lyme arthritis is associated with immune reactivity to outer surface protein A (OspA) of Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease, and the major histocompatibility complex class II allele DRB1*0401. The immunodominant epitope of OspA for T helper cells was identified. A homology search revealed a peptide from human leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (hLFA-1) as a candidate autoantigen. Individuals with treatment-resistant Lyme arthritis, but not other forms of arthritis, generated responses to OspA, hLFA-1, and their highly related peptide epitopes. Identification of the initiating bacterial antigen and a cross-reactive autoantigen may provide a model for development of autoimmune disease.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gross, D M -- Forsthuber, T -- Tary-Lehmann, M -- Etling, C -- Ito, K -- Nagy, Z A -- Field, J A -- Steere, A C -- Huber, B T -- R01 AR20358/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 Jul 31;281(5377):703-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, Tufts University, Boston, MA 02111 USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9685265" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The control of innate immune responses through activation of the nuclear transcription factor NF-kappaB is essential for the elimination of invading microbial pathogens. We showed that the bacterial N-(3-oxo-dodecanoyl) homoserine lactone (C12) selectively impairs the regulation of NF-kappaB functions in activated mammalian cells. The consequence is specific repression of stimulus-mediated induction of NF-kappaB-responsive genes encoding inflammatory cytokines and other immune regulators. These findings uncover a strategy by which C12-producing opportunistic pathogens, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, attenuate the innate immune system to establish and maintain local persistent infection in humans, for example, in cystic fibrosis patients.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kravchenko, Vladimir V -- Kaufmann, Gunnar F -- Mathison, John C -- Scott, David A -- Katz, Alexander Z -- Grauer, David C -- Lehmann, Mandy -- Meijler, Michael M -- Janda, Kim D -- Ulevitch, Richard J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 Jul 11;321(5886):259-63. doi: 10.1126/science.1156499.

    Description: G protein betagamma subunits have potential as a target for therapeutic treatment of a number of diseases. We performed virtual docking of a small-molecule library to a site on Gbetagamma subunits that mediates protein interactions. We hypothesized that differential targeting of this surface could allow for selective modulation of Gbetagamma subunit functions. Several compounds bound to Gbetagamma subunits with affinities from 0.1 to 60 muM and selectively modulated functional Gbetagamma-protein-protein interactions in vitro, chemotactic peptide signaling pathways in HL-60 leukocytes, and opioid receptor-dependent analgesia in vivo. These data demonstrate an approach for modulation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling that may represent an important therapeutic strategy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bonacci, Tabetha M -- Mathews, Jennifer L -- Yuan, Chujun -- Lehmann, David M -- Malik, Sundeep -- Wu, Dianqing -- Font, Jose L -- Bidlack, Jean M -- Smrcka, Alan V -- GM60286/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HL-T3207949/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL080706/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- K05-DA00360/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA132317/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM054597/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM054597-09/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL080706/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL080706-10/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL080706-11/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- T32DA07232/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Apr 21;312(5772):443-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pharmacology and Physiology, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, Rochester, NY 14642, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16627746" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The neonatal period has been thought of as a window in ontogeny, during which the developing immune system is particularly susceptible to tolerization. In the present study, the classic system for induction of neonatal tolerance to protein antigens was reexamined in mice. The presumably tolerogenic protocol was found to trigger a vigorous T helper cell type 2 (TH2) immune response. Thus, neonatal "tolerization" induces immune deviation, not tolerance in the immunological sense. Neonates are not immune privileged but generate TH2 or TH1 responses, depending on the mode of immunization.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Forsthuber, T -- Yip, H C -- Lehmann, P V -- AI36219-02/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Mar 22;271(5256):1728-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH 44106-4943, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8596934" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
