Interactions among type I and type II interferon, tumor necrosis factor, and β-estradiol in the regulation of immune response-related gene expressions in systemic lupus erythematosus (2009)

Lee, Hooi-Ming, Mima, Toru, Sugino, Hidehiko, Aoki, Chieko, Adachi, Yasuo, Yoshio-Hoshino, Naoko, ...

Abstract Introduction Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a prototypical autoimmune disease characterized by various clinical manifestations. Several cytokines interact and play pathological roles...

Isolation and Expression Profiling of Genes Upregulated in the Peripheral Blood Cells of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients (2006)

Ishii, Taeko, Onda, Hiroaki, Tanigawa, Akie, Ohshima, Shiro, Fujiwara, Hiroshi, Mima, Toru, ...

We have identified the genes whose expressions are augmented in the blood cells of the patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) using the ‘stepwise subtraction’ technique along with...

Interleukin 6 plays a key role in the development of antigen-induced arthritis

Ohshima, Shiro, Saeki, Yukihiko, Mima, Toru, Sasai, Mitsuko, Nishioka, Katsuhiro, Nomura, Shintaro, ...

To investigate the direct role of interleukin (IL) 6 in the development of rheumatoid arthritis, IL-6-deficient (IL-6 −/−) mice were backcrossed for eight generations into C57BL/6 mice, a strain...

Expansion of a CD28-Intermediate Subset among CD8 T Cells in Patients with Infectious Mononucleosis

Uda, Hiroshi, Mima, Toru, Yamaguchi, Norihiko, Katada, Yoshinori, Fukuda, Masayuki, Fujii, Naohiko, ...

Infectious mononucleosis (IM) is an acute sporadic infection that usually affects young adults, and during infection a massive expansion of CD8 T cells is generally considered to occur. However, CD28...
