A Systems medicine approach to chronic inflammatory disease (SYSCID)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Mar 31, 2022,

"The SYSCID consortium aims to develop a systems medicine approach for disease prediction in CID. We will focus on three major CID indications with distinct characteristics, yet a large overlap of their molecular risk map: inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematodes and rheumatoid arthritis. We have joined 15 partners from major cohorts and initiatives in Europe (e.g.IHEC, ICGC, Twins ...

The inflammatory gene expression program in macrophages: An integrative approach for the systematic characterization of transcriptional co-regulators (MEDICI)

Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2021,

Tissue responses to microbial and endogenous danger signals involve the activation of both resident and monocyte-derived macrophages, as well as the coordinated inducible expression of hundreds of inflammatory genes. Gene transcription is controlled by the information contained in thousands of genomic regulatory elements (enhancers and promoters), which is first read by transcription factors (TFs ...

PTX3 in Humoral Innate Immunity (PHII)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2020,

The innate immune system includes a cellular and a humoral arm. Structural diversity is a characteristic of humoral fluid phase pattern recognition molecules. These include complement components, collectins, ficolins, and pentraxins. We have used the long pentraxin PTX3, identified by the applicant (cDNA and genomic, mouse and human), as a prototypic fluid phase pattern recognition molecule to ...

Generation and maintenance of long-lived memory T cells in humans (PERSYST)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2020,

Defining the molecular mechanisms governing memory T cell differentiation and homeostasis is of pivotal importance to generate durable and protective T cell responses against infections and cancers. Considerable knowledge in this regard has been acquired in mouse models but is still limited about human T cells. In particular, some mechanisms are assumed to occur in humans but were never formally d ...

Signalling compartmentalization and vesicle Trafficking at the Phagocytic Synapses (STEPS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2019,

A key feature of the immune response is its specificity and macrophages must be able to discriminate precisely between an infectious stimulus and a non-infectious one and tune their response in accordance with the molecular context in which the target particle is recognized. In recent years, scientists have proposed the concept of the phagocytic synapse, to stress the fact that a particle does not ...

Epigenetics and microRNAs in Myocardial Function and Disease (CARDIOEPIGEN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

Heart failure (HF) is the ultimate outcome of many cardiovascular diseases. Re-expression of fetal genes in the adult heart contributes to development of HF. Two mechanisms involved in the control of gene expression are epigenetics and microRNAs (miRs). We propose a project on epigenetic and miR-mediated mechanisms leading to HF.Epigenetics refers to heritable modification of DNA and histones that ...
