The FKBP4 gene, encoding a regulator of the androgen receptor signaling pathway, is a novel candidate gene for androgen insensitivity syndrome

Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS), manifesting incomplete virilization in 46,XY individuals, is caused mostly by androgen receptor (AR) gene mutations. Therefore, a search for AR mutations is a routine approach in AIS diagnosis. However, some AIS patients lack AR mutations, which complicates the diagnosis. Here, we describe a patient suffering from partial androgen insensitivity syndrome...

An inflamed human alveolar model for testing the efficiency of anti-inflammatory drugs in vitro

Drasler, Barbara ; Karakocak, Bedia Begum ; Tankus, Esma Bahar ; Barosova, Hana ; Abe, Jun ; Sousa de Almeida, Mauro ; Petri-Fink, Alke ; Rothen-Rutishauser, Barbara

A large number of prevalent lung diseases is associated with tissue inflammation. Clinically, corticosteroid therapies are applied systemically or via inhalation for the treatment of lung inflammation, and a number of novel therapies are being developed that require preclinical testing. In alveoli, macrophages and dendritic cells play a key role in initiating and diminishing pro-inflammatory...

Transcriptional signature of human pro-inflammatory TH17 cells identifies reduced IL10 gene expression in multiple sclerosis

Hu, Dan ; Notarbartolo, Samuele ; Croonenborghs, Tom ; Patel, Bonny ; Cialic, Ron ; Yang, Tun-Hsiang ; Aschenbrenner, Dominik ; Andersson, Karin M. ; Gattorno, Marco ; Pham, Minh ; Kivisakk, Pia ; Pierre, Isabelle V. ; Lee, Youjin ; Kiani, Karun ; Bokarewa, Maria ; Tjon, Emily ; Pochet, Nathalie ; Sallusto, Federica ; Kuchroo, Vijay K. ; Weiner, Howard L.

We have previously reported the molecular signature of murine pathogenic TH17 cells that induce experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in animals. Here we show that human peripheral blood IFN-γ+IL-17+ (TH1/17) and IFN-γ−IL-17+ (TH17) CD4+ T cells display distinct transcriptional profiles in high-throughput transcription analyses. Compared to TH17 cells, TH1/17 cells have gene...
