Th-17 type immune response that occurs in multiple sclerosis (MS) is linked to CCR6-CCL20 interaction. We confirmed the dependency on CCR6 in EAE development. Vaccination of mice with hCCL20, but not mCCL20, produced anti-murine CCL20 and ameliorated EAE. The EAE clinical score negatively correlated with anti CCL20 levels. A beneficial effect was transferred by sera from hCCL20-immunized mice. Immunized mice with cyclic peptide that include a bacterial outer membrane protein A (ompA), that share homology sequence with hCCL20 produced anti CCL20, anti ompA and anti-cyclic peptide. Immunization of mice with ompA or the cyclic peptide ameliorated EAE. The cyclic peptide inhibited CCL20 activity in an adhesion assay. A significantly higher level of anti CCL20 were found in healthy individuals compared to RR-MS patients. There was no similar difference for anti-CXCL10. Natural or induced immunization against CCL20 confer protection against EAE and may be beneficial in MS.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are commonly considered accomplices in tumorigenesis and tumor development. However, the precise mechanism by which tumor cells prompt TAMs to aid in evading immune surveillance remains to be further investigated. Here, it is elucidated that tumor-secreted galectin-1 (Gal1) conferred immunosuppressive properties to TAMs.

The importance of SUMOylation in tumorigenesis has received increasing attention, and research on therapeutic agents targeting this pathway has progressed. However, the potential function of SUMOylation during hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we identified that SUMO-Specific Peptidase 3 (SENP3) was upregulated in HCC tissues and correlated with a poor prognosis.

Objectives: Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by periodontopathogenic bacteria, and its progression leads to periodontal tissue destruction and tooth loss. Zerumbone is a bioactive substance found in ginger () and is known to have bioactive effects such as anticancer effects, but there have been no attempts to use it for periodontitis treatment. In addition, there have been no reports examining its effects on periodontal tissue component cells.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the dominant nonmalignant component of the tumour microenvironment (TME). CAFs demonstrate a high level of inter- and intra-tumour heterogeneity in solid tumours, though the drivers of CAF subpopulations are not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient-derived CAFs upregulate the secretion of inflammatory cytokines (IL6, LIF, IL33, GM-CSF, IL1ra) and chemokines (CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL20, CXCL8, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11) in response to in vitro co-culture with anti-CD3/anti-CD28-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) via IFNγ and TNFα.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by its poor prognosis. Traditional Japanese herbal medicine (Kampo), such as Juzentaihoto (a standardized combination of 10 herbal extracts), has shown immune modulatory effects, modulation of microcirculation, and amelioration of fatigue. It is administered to patients to prevent deterioration of cachexia and counteract side effects of chemotherapy.
