VITAMIN D3 SUPPRESSES CLASS II INVARIANT CHAIN PEPTIDE EXPRESSION ON ACTIVATED B-LYMPHOCYTES: A PLAUSIBLE MECHANISM FOR DOWNREGULATION OF ACUTE INFLAMMATORY CONDITIONS

Vitamin D3 Suppresses Class II Invariant Chain Peptide Expression on Activated B-Lymphocytes: A Plausible Mechanism for Downregulation of Acute Inflammatory Conditions

Class II invariant chain peptide (CLIP) expression has been demonstrated to play a pivotal role in the regulation of B cell function after nonspecific polyclonal expansion.Several studies have shown vitamin D3 helps regulate the immune response.We hypothesized that activated vitamin D3 suppresses CLIP expression on activated B-cells after nonspecif

HPAStainR: a Bioconductor and Shiny app to query protein expression patterns in the Human Protein Atlas [version 2; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

The Human Protein Atlas is a website of protein expression in human tissues.It is an excellent resource of tissue and cell type protein localization, but only allows the query of a single protein at a time.We introduce HPAStainR as a new HERBATINT 7R Shiny app and Bioconductor/R package used to query the scored staining patterns in the Human Protei

Autophagy dictates sensitivity to PRMT5 inhibitor in breast cancer

Abstract Clearance Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) catalyzes mono-methylation and symmetric di-methylation on arginine residues and has emerged as a potential antitumor target with inhibitors being tested in clinical trials.However, it remains unknown how the efficacy of PRMT5 inhibitors is regulated.Here we report that autophagy block
