Extreme sleep state misperception : from psychopathology to objective-subjective sleep measures

Castelnovo, Anna ; Ferri, Raffaele ; Galbiati, Andrea ; Rossi, Alessandro ; Zucconi, Marco ; Castronovo, Vincenza ; Strambi, Luigi-Ferini ; Manconi, Mauro

In: International journal of psychophysiology, 2021, vol. 167, p. 77-85

Study objectives: We tested the hypothesis that patients with extreme sleep state misperception display higher levels of psychopathology and reduced quantitative estimation abilities compared to other patients with insomnia. Secondary aims included the evaluation of group differences in subjective self-reported quality of life and sleep quality and objective sleep parameters. Methods: In this...

Salivary gland macrophages and tissue-resident CD8+ T cells cooperate for homeostatic organ surveillance

Stolp, Bettina ; Thelen, Flavian ; Ficht, Xenia ; Altenburger, Lukas M. ; Ruef, Nora ; Inavalli, V. V. G. Krishna ; Germann, Philipp ; Page, Nicolas ; Moalli, Federica ; Raimondi, Andrea ; Keyser, Kirsten A. ; Jafari, S.

It is well established that tissue macrophages and tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells (TRM) play important roles for pathogen sensing and rapid protection of barrier tissues. In contrast, the mechanisms by which these two cell types cooperate for homeostatic organ surveillance after clearance of infections is poorly understood. Here, we used intravital imaging to show that TRM dynamically...

Schwann cells ER-associated degradation contributes to myelin maintenance in adult nerves and limits demyelination in CMT1B mice

Volpi, Vera G. ; Ferri, Cinzia ; Fregno, Ilaria ; Del Carro, Ubaldo ; Bianchi, Francesca ; Scapin, Cristina ; Pettinato, Emanuela ; Solda, Tatiana ; Feltri, M. Laura ; Molinari, Maurizio ; Wrabetz, Lawrence ; D’Antonio, Maurizio

In the peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelinating Schwann cells synthesize large amounts of myelin protein zero (P0) glycoprotein, an abundant component of peripheral nerve myelin. In humans, mutations in P0 cause the demyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1B (CMT1B) neuropathy, one of the most diffused genetic disorders of the PNS. We previously showed that several mutations, such as the...

T regulatory cells are markers of disease activity in multiple sclerosis patients

Dalla Libera, Dacia ; Di Mitri, Diletta ; Bergami, Alessandra ; Centonze, Diego ; Gasperini, Claudio ; Grasso, Maria Grazia ; Galgani, Simona ; Martinelli, Vittorio ; Comi, Giancarlo ; Avolio, Carlo ; Martino, Gianvito ; Borsellino, Giovanna ; Sallusto, Federica ; Battistini,Luca ; Furlan, Roberto

FoxP3+ Treg cells are believed to play a role in the occurrence of autoimmunity and in the determination of clinical recurrences. Contradictory reports are, however, available describing frequency and function of Treg cells during autoimmune diseases. We examined, by both polychromatic flow cytometry, and real-time RT-PCR, several Treg markers in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from...

Intestinal microbiota sustains inflammation and autoimmunity induced by hypomorphic RAG defects

Rigoni, Rosita ; Fontana, Elena ; Guglielmetti, Simone ; Fosso, Bruno ; D’Erchia, Anna Maria ; Maina, Virginia ; Taverniti, Valentina ; Carmina Castiello, Maria ; Mantero, Stefano ; Pacchiana, Giovanni ; Musio, Silvia ; Pedotti, Rosetta ; Selmi, Carlo ; Mora, J. Rodrigo ; Pesole, Graziano ; Vezzoni, Paolo ; Poliani, Pietro Luigi ; Grassi, Fabio ; Villa, Anna ; Cassani, Barbara

In: The journal of experimental medicine, 2016, vol. 213, no. 3, p. 355-375

Omenn syndrome (OS) is caused by hypomorphic Rag mutations and characterized by a profound immunodeficiency associated with autoimmune-like manifestations. Both in humans and mice, OS is mediated by oligoclonal activated T and B cells. The role of microbial signals in disease pathogenesis is debated. Here, we show that Rag2R229Q knock-in mice developed an inflammatory bowel disease affecting...
