While some individuals infected by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) present mild-to-severe disease, many SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals are asymptomatic. We sought to identify the distinction of immune response between asymptomatic and moderate patients. We performed single-cell transcriptome and T-cell/B-cell receptor (TCR/BCR) sequencing in 37 longitudinal collected peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples from asymptomatic, moderate, and severe patients with healthy controls.

Riboflavin transport mediated by riboflavin transporters (RFVTs/SLC52A) at the rat outer blood-retinal barrier.

Drug Metab Pharmacokinet

December 2019

Department of Pharmaceutics, Graduate School of Medicine and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Toyama, Toyama, Japan.

The previous in vivo study revealed the carrier-mediated transport of riboflavin (vitamin B) across the blood-retinal barrier (BRB). In the present study, the blood-to-retina supply of riboflavin across the outer BRB was assessed in RPE-J cells, a rat-derived in vitro cell model of the outer BRB that is formed by the retinal pigment epithelial cells. In the directional uptake analysis on collagen-coated Transwell® inserts, RPE-J cells showed higher basal-to-cell (B-to-C) uptake (22.

Chongqing Key Laboratory of Child Infection and Immunity, Chongqing 400014, China.

To investigate the clinical and immunological laboratory features, mutations in SH2D1A gene and SAP protein expression in four children of two families with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease type 1(XLP-1). Four patients (Family A including Patient 1 and Patient 2, Family B including Patient 3 and Patient 4) and their maternal relatives were enrolled in this study. The clinical manifestation, EBV infection status and chest CT scan were analyzed.

Cytokines Regulate β-Cell Thioredoxin-interacting Protein (TXNIP) via Distinct Mechanisms and Pathways.

J Biol Chem

April 2016

From the Comprehensive Diabetes Center and Department of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama 35294

Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) is a key regulator of diabetic β-cell apoptosis and dysfunction, and TXNIP inhibition prevents diabetes in mouse models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Although we have previously shown that TXNIP is strongly induced by glucose, any regulation by the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interferon γ (IFNγ) has remained largely unexplored. Moreover, even though this three-cytokine mixture is widely used to mimic type 1 diabetes in vitro, the mechanisms involved are not fully understood.
