Endogenous activation of adaptive immunity: tenascin-C drives interleukin-17 synthesis in murine arthritic joint disease. by Ruhmann, M, Piccinini, A, Kong, P, Midwood, K

“…Dendritic cells that did not express tenascin-C, however, produced lower levels of inflammatory cytokines than did cells from wild-type mice and exhibited specific defects in Th17 cell polarization. Moreover, tenascin-C-null mice displayed ablated levels of interleukin-17 in the joint during experimental arthritis. …”

TIMP1 and TIMP2 Downregulate TGFβ Induced Decidual-like Phenotype in Natural Killer Cells by Adriana Albini, Matteo Gallazzi, Maria Teresa Palano, Valentina Carlini, Riccardo Ricotta, Antonino Bruno, William G. Stetler-Stevenson, Douglas M. Noonan

“…Our results suggest a potential role of TIMPs in controlling the tumor-associated cytokine TGFβ-induced NK cell polarization. Given the heterogeneity of released factors within the TME, it is clear that TGFβ stimulation represents a model to prove TIMP’s new properties, but it cannot be envisaged as a soloist NK cell polarizing agent. …”
