The antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin is critical for the development of Th17 responses in severe inflammatory disease

K. J. Smith, D. Minns, B. McHugh, R. Holloway, R. O'Connor, A. Williams, L. Melrose, R. McPherson, V. E. Miron, D. J. Davidson, E. Gwyer Findlay

This study shows cathelicidin promotes Th17 responses and severe EAE by enhancing T cell differentiation and plasticity, and its absence protects mice from disease.

The outcome of neutrophil-T cell contact differs depending on activation status of both cell types

D. Minns, K. J. Smith, G. R. Hardisty, A. Rossi, E. Gwyer Findlay

This study investigates how the activation status of neutrophils and T cells affects their interaction outcomes, finding that resting neutrophils suppress T cell responses while de-granulating neutrophils do not.

Ultra-pure isolation of low density neutrophils casts doubt on their exceptionality in health and disease

G. R. Hardisty, F. Llanwarne, D. Minns, J. L. Gillan, D. J. Davidson, E. R. Gwyer Findlay, R. D. Gray

The paper isolates ultra-pure low density neutrophils (LDNs) from healthy donors and shows they are functionally similar to normal density neutrophils (NDNs), challenging their classification as a distinct population.

The neutrophil antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin promotes Th17 differentiation

D. Minns, K. J. Smith, V. Alessandrini, G. Hardisty, L. Melrose, L. H. Jackson-Jones, A. S. MacDonald, D. J. Davidson, E. Gwyer Findlay

This study shows cathelicidin promotes Th17 differentiation by enhancing AHR and RORγt expression, increasing IL-17F production, and protecting Th17 cells from apoptosis.
