Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are a subset of ILCs that play a protective role in the response to helminth infection, but they also contribute to allergic lung inflammation. Here, we report that the deletion of the ETS1 transcription factor in lymphoid cells resulted in a loss of ILC2s in the bone marrow and lymph nodes and that ETS1 promotes the fitness of the common progenitor of all ILCs. ETS1-deficient ILC2 progenitors failed to up-regulate messenger RNA for the E protein transcription factor inhibitor ID2, a critical factor for ILCs, and these cells were unable to expand in cytokine-driven in vitro cultures. In vivo, ETS1 was required for the IL-33–induced accumulation of lung ILC2s and for the production of the T helper type 2 cytokines IL-5 and IL-13. IL-25 also failed to elicit an expansion of inflammatory ILC2s when these cells lacked ETS1. Our data reveal ETS1 as a critical regulator of ILC2 expansion and cytokine production and implicate ETS1 in the regulation of Id2 at the inception of ILC2 development.

The study discusses the relationship between the content of NF-KB and cytokine signaling suppressor 7 (SOCS7) in mononuclear peripheral blood cells (MNC) phosphorylated form of nuclear transcription factor inhibitor (NF-KB) and the production of MNC cytokines (TNF, IFN, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12) determining the state of congenital and adaptive immune response.The content and level of phosphorylation of the nuclear transcription factor NF-KB (Ikba) inhibitor and the SOCS7 protein concentration were determined by enzyme immunoassay in MNC. In addition, the concentration of TNF, IFN, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12 was determined in cellular supernatants. The interrelations between the studied factors were evaluated by the method of linear regression analysis.The results of the study indicate that the stage of recovery of community-acquired pneumonia is accompanied by a decrease in the level of IL-1, TNF and IL-4 and an increase in the production of Information. Also in the stage of convalescence there is a decrease in phosphorylation of Ikba and an increase in the concentration of SOCS7 in the OLS. The analysis revealed a significant effect on the level of phosphorylation of Ikba content in the cell SOCS7. Thus, a strong negative relationship between SOCS7 and phosphorylation of Ikba can be mediated by inhibition under its influence of STAT3/5 and MARK / SAPK-dependent cytokine production mechanisms, which allows to consider this factor as a therapeutic target for limiting excessive immunosuppression in pneumonia.

This article highlights the effect produced by the inhibitor of the AP-1 transcription factor activation on the mechanisms of structural, metabolic and biomechanical disorders in the femoral bones and vertebrae during combined excessive intake of sodium fluoride and sodium nitrate. The experiment was conducted on 30 white rats divided into 4 groups: the 1st included the intact animals, the 2nd group involved the rats subjected to the co- administration of sodium fluoride (10 mg / kg body weight) and sodium nitrate (500 mg / kg body weight) for 30 days, the 3rd group included the animals, which starting from the 15th day of intoxication, were injected SR 11302 ((E, E, Z, E) -3-Methyl-7- (4-methylphenyl) - 9- (2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl) -2,4,6,8-nonatetraenoic acid), an inhibitor of AP-1 activation in a dose of 1 mg / kg intraperitoneally 3 times a week. It has been revealed that the SR 11302 administration restores the mechanism of NO autoregulation in the femoral bones during the sodium fluoride and sodium nitrate co- administration, reducing the total activity of NO synthase and activity of its inducible isoform under a reciprocal increase in total arginase activity, and suppresses the peroxynitrite production. This is accompanied by a decrease in the activity of enzymes, which are known as markers of bone resorption (acid phosphatase and its bone isoform) and restriction of the depolymerization of collagen, proteoglycans and sialoglycoproteins of the connective (bone) tissue in the femurs and vertebrae. Moreover, the introduction of SR 11302 under the experimental conditions is accompanied by an increase in the density and mineral saturation of the femurs and vertebrae, and an improvement in the biomechanical characteristics of the femurs (their strength and elasticity).
