IL-17A, a major proinflammatory cytokine, can be produced by a variety of leukocytes, but its exact cellular source in human inflammatory diseases remains incompletely understood. IL-17A protein is abundantly found in mast cells in human tissues, such as inflamed synovium, but surprisingly, mechanistic murine studies failed to demonstrate IL-17A production by mast cells. Here, we demonstrate that primary human tissue mast cells do not produce IL-17A themselves but actively capture exogenous IL-17A through receptor-mediated endocytosis. The exogenous IL-17A is stored in intracellular granules and can subsequently be released in a bioactive form. This novel mechanism confers to mast cells the capacity to steer IL-17A-mediated tissue inflammation by the rapid release of preformed cytokine.

The Immune System: An Arrow to the Heart and Principles of Cardioimmunology as an Emerging Branch of Medicine.

Curr Vasc Pharmacol

January 2025

Unit of Cardiovascular Diseases, Department of Interdisciplinary Medicine, University of Bari "Aldo Moro", Bari, Italy.

Background: Cardioimmunology is an emerging branch of medicine whose development has been facilitated by more sophisticated diagnostic procedures. Recent studies have mainly focused on the immune response during myocardial infarction (MI), and there is evidence that both resident and external immune cells participate in acute inflammatory disease, as well as tissue remodeling. Cardiac Innate Immune Cells: Following MI, macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs) and mast cells (MCs) are the main players in the heart.

Background: Patients with hematological malignancies are at high-risk of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Oral vancomycin is a first-line treatment for CDI. Vancomycin has been widely reported to induce flushing syndrome (also known as Red man syndrome), a well-known hypersensitivity reaction mostly occurs after intravenous administration.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifaceted inflammatory skin condition characterized by the involvement of various cell types, such as keratinocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and mast cells. Research indicates that flavonoids possess anti-inflammatory properties that may be beneficial in the management of AD. However, the investigation of the glycoside forms for anti-AD therapy is limited.

Background: Saidi sheep are one of the most important farm animals in Upper Egypt, particularly in the Assiut governorate. Since they can provide meat, milk, fiber, and skins from low-quality roughages, sheep are among the most economically valuable animals bred for food in Egypt. Regarding breeding, relatively little is known about the Saidi breed.
