Network Summer 2005 News, Views and Information from the Medical Research Council network Summer 2005 News, views and information from the Medical Research Council In this issue MRC announces plans for Funding schemes review strengthening UK clinical research A look at year one of the new grant schemes page 4 The Spring edition of Network referred to how the MRC’s scientific strategy is shifting in Regulatory emphasis towards a more translational approach. Now, following publication of the MRC’s Delivery statement Plan in May and the Government’s 2004 Spending MRC publishes policy Review allocations, Network is able to report on on research regulation the practical steps that the MRC is taking to page 8 implement its clinical research agenda. Research Increased investment governance In recent years the MRC has spent around a third working group of its funds on clinical and public health research Units pool resources and training – around £127m per annum. But from to develop practical 2005 onwards this amount is set to rise, to about £162m by 2007/08, following the MRC’s allocation guidance for use in the 2004 Spending Review (see table overleaf). MRC-wide This significantly increased commitment results page 9 from £25m new money from the spending review specifically earmarked for clinical and public health Unit profile research during 2006-08, and from the MRC’s special redeployment of a further £37m of its existing MRC units and centres funds from 2005 onwards. The importance of partnership working in public The MRC’s ambitions for clinical research make health science When drawing up its Delivery Plan, the MRC close partnership working more important than page 10 took care to listen to the views of the scientific ever. For example, the MRC/Health Departments community and other key stakeholders.

  • Autoantibody-Mediated Arthritis in The
    Auger et al. Arthritis Research & Therapy 2012, 14:R269 http://arthritis-research.com/content/14/6/R269 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Autoantibody-mediated arthritis in the absence of C3 and activating Fcg receptors: C5 is activated by the coagulation cascade Jennifer L Auger1, Stefanie Haasken1,2 and Bryce A Binstadt1* Abstract Introduction: The effector functions of immunoglobulin G (IgG) are mediated by interaction of its Fc region with Fc receptors (FcgRs) and/or the complement system. The three main pathways of complement activation converge at C3. However, C3-independent pathways can activate C5 and other downstream complement components during IgG-initiated inflammatory responses. These C3-independent pathways of C5 activation are triggered by activating FcgRs in some systems or can be activated by factors of the coagulation cascade such as thrombin. Here we studied the interplay of C3, C5, and activating FcgRs in a model of spontaneous autoantibody-driven arthritis. Methods: We utilized the K/BxN TCR transgenic mouse model of arthritis. We bred K/BxN mice bearing targeted or naturally-occurring mutations in one or more of the genes encoding complement components C3, C5, and FcRg, the cytoplasmic signaling chain shared by the activating FcgRs. We measured arthritis development, the production of arthritogenic autoantibodies, T cell activation status and cytokine synthesis. In addition, we treated mice with anti-C5 monoclonal antibodies or with the thrombin inhibitor argatroban. Results: We have previously shown that genetic deficiency of C5 protects K/BxN mice from the development of arthritis. We found here that C3-deficient K/BxN mice developed arthritis equivalent in severity to C3-sufficient animals.

  • CYP1A1 Enzymatic Activity Influences Skin Inflammation Via Regulation Of
    See related commentary on pg 1385 ORIGINAL ARTICLE CYP1A1 Enzymatic Activity Influences Skin Inflammation Via Regulation of the AHR Pathway Mariela Kyoreva1,4, Ying Li1, Mariyah Hoosenally2,5, Jonathan Hardman-Smart2, Kirsten Morrison1,3, Isabella Tosi2, Mauro Tolaini1, Guillermo Barinaga2, Brigitta Stockinger1, Ulrich Mrowietz3, Frank O. Nestle2,6, Catherine H. Smith2, Jonathan N. Barker2 and Paola Di Meglio1,2 The AHR is an environmental sensor and transcription factor activated by a variety of man-made and natural ligands, which has recently emerged as a critical regulator of homeostasis at barrier organs such as the skin. Activation of the AHR pathway downmodulates skin inflammatory responses in animal models and psoriasis clinical samples. In this study, we identify CYP1A1 enzymatic activity as a critical regulator of beneficial AHR signaling in the context of skin inflammation. Mice constitutively expressing Cyp1a1 displayed increased CYP1A1 enzymatic activity in the skin, which resulted in exacerbated immune cell activation and skin pathol- ogy, mirroring that observed in Ahr-deficient mice. Inhibition of CYP1A1 enzymatic activity ameliorated the skin immunopathology by restoring beneficial AHR signaling. Importantly, patients with psoriasis displayed reduced activation of the AHR pathway and increased CYP1A1 enzymatic activity compared with healthy donors, sug- gesting that dysregulation of the AHR/CYP1A1 axis may play a role in inflammatory skin disease. Thus, mod- ulation of CYP1A1 activity may represent a promising alternative strategy to harness the anti-inflammatory effect exerted by activation of the AHR pathway in the skin.

Land Smith 2021 MELS ii Abstract Sina Queyras, in the essay “Lyric Conceptualism: A Manifesto in Progress,” describes the Lyric Conceptualist as a poet capable of recognizing the effects of disparate movements and employing a variety of lyric, conceptual, and language poetry techniques to continue to innovate in poetry without dismissing the work of other schools of poetic thought. Queyras sees the lyric conceptualist as an artistic curator who collects, modifies, selects, synthesizes, and adapts, to create verse that is both conceptual and accessible, using relevant materials and techniques from the past and present. This dissertation responds to Queyras’s idea with a collection of original poems in the lyric conceptualist mode, supported by a critical exegesis of that work.
