We have recently shown megalin is present in the mitochondria of cultured epithelial and mesenchymal cells, as well as many organs and tissues. Mitochondrial megalin associates with stanniocalcin-1 and SIRT3; two proteins that promote anti-oxidant defenses. Megalin shuttles mitochondrial intracrines (angiotensin II, stanniocalcin-1 and TGF-β) from the cell surface to the mitochondria through the retrograde early endosome to Golgi pathway and requires Rab32. Deletion of megalin impairs mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis. This pathway overlaps molecular and vesicular trafficking defects common to Donai Barrow and Lowe syndromes, suggesting that mitochondrial intracrine signaling defects may contribute to the pathogenesis of these diseases.</p>","PeriodicalId":73644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cellular immunology","volume":" ","pages":"364-369"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8793748/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39873894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Notably, compared with specific antigen vaccine, whole cell vaccine does not need complex antigen screening and purification process, and can provide all antigens of specific tumor, so it has great prospects [5,6].

Conti and colleagues [2] have outlined the binding of COVID-19 to the Toll-like receptor with subsequent cytokine driven fever and pneumonitis, while in Kenderian’s [3] murine model of CRS, ruxolitinib abrogated the development of cytokine excess. Cao [4] reported faster clinical recovery with JAK inhibition and Capochiani’s RESPIRE trial reported an 89% overall response rate (ORR) with ruxolitinib therapy [5]. Discordant findings regarding JAK inhibition have been reported on the superiority of baricitinib plus remdesivir over remdesivir alone in shortening recovery times in hospitalized patients [6] while the randomized RUXCOVID trial failed to impact severe complications of the disease by adding ruxolitinib to standard of care [7]. Other groups [8,9] have reported inflammatory cytokine profiles along with evidence that elevated IL-6 and TNFα are strong predictors of disease severity and survival. While cytokine excess could be an epiphenomenal surrogate for another process, therapeutic strategies have evolved around addressing the excessive cytokine levels complicating a significant fraction of COVID-19 patients.","PeriodicalId":73644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cellular immunology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46372997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
