Fasciola hepatica excretory-secretory products (FhESP) induce immunomodulatory effects on macrophages. Previously, we demonstrated that these effects are dependent on Dectin-1. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine how this affects the CD4 T-cells immune response. We observed that FhESP induce an increased expression of PD-L2 in macrophages via Dectin-1. Furthermore, in co-cultures with CD4 T-cell we observed a suppressive effect on proliferative response, down-modulation of IFN-γ and up-modulation of IL-10 via Dectin-1 on macrophages. These results suggest that FhESP induce T-cell anergy via selective up-regulation of PD-L2 expression on macrophages in a Dectin-1 dependent way.

pneumonia (PJP) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality during AIDS. In AIDS, the absence of CD4 immunity results in exuberant and often fatal PJP. In addition, organism clearance requires a balanced macrophage response since excessive inflammation promotes lung injury and respiratory failure.

This study investigated β-glucan with diverse conformations by using molecular dynamics simulations to analyze their conformational transitions in water. Stable conformations were docked with the Dectin-1 protein to evaluate key metrics such as favorable conformations, root-mean-square deviation, hydrogen bond interactions, and their effects on macrophage activity. Results revealed that single-chain β-1,3-glucan with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 24 forms aggregates in water, while triple-chain β-1,3-glucan with a DP of 6 tends to form double helices.

The traditional use of Cordyceps militaris, an entomopathogenic fungus, in East Asian medicine has been well documented. Our previous study revealed that the fruiting body powder of C. militaris, referred to as Ryukyu-kaso, contains 1,3-β-glucan and stimulates bone marrow-derived dendritic cells via a dectin-1-dependent pathway.

Article Synopsis
- - Curdlan, a β-glucan, inhibits the formation of osteoclasts—cells that break down bone—by binding to dectin-1, leading to reduced expression of NFATc1, a key factor for osteoclast differentiation.
- - The study investigates how curdlan disrupts RANKL-induced NFATc1 expression and finds that it also affects the NF-κB signaling pathway, which is crucial for NFATc1 activation.
- - Additionally, the research indicates a dectin-1-independent mechanism involving complement receptor 3 (CR3), suggesting that curdlan's effects on osteoclast differentiation are multifaceted and involve multiple pathways.

Patients with metastatic ovarian cancer (OvCa) have a 5-year survival rate of <30% due to the persisting dissemination of chemoresistant cells in the peritoneal fluid and the immunosuppressive microenvironment in the peritoneal cavity. Here, we report that intraperitoneal administration of β-glucan and IFNγ (BI) induced robust tumor regression in clinically relevant models of metastatic OvCa. BI induced tumor regression by controlling fluid tumor burden and activating localized antitumor immunity.
