Cell fusion upregulates PD-L1 expression and promotes tumor formation

H. Masai, Y. Tajima, F. Shibazaki

The paper shows that cell fusion between bladder cancer cells and MSCs upregulates PD-L1, enhances tumorigenesis, and reveals a novel mechanism linking cell fusion to immune evasion.

Extracellular DJ-1 induces sterile inflammation in the ischemic brain

K. Nakamura, S. Sakai, J. Tsuyama, A. Nakamura, K. Otani, K. Kurabayashi, Y. Yogiashi, H. Masai, T. Shichita

This paper shows that extracellular DJ-1 triggers inflammation in ischemic brains by activating TLR2 and TLR4, and that blocking DJ-1 reduces inflammation and neuronal damage.
