PTX3 Deficiency Promotes Enhanced Accumulation and Function of CD11c+CD11b+ DCs in a Murine Model of Allergic Inflammation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PTX3 is a unique member of the long pentraxins family and plays an indispensable role in regulating the immune system. We previously showed that PTX3 deletion aggravates allergic inflammation via a Th17 -dominant phenotype and enhanced CD4 T cell survival using a murine model of ovalbumin (OVA) induced allergic inflammation. In this study, we identified that upon OVA exposure, increased infiltration of CD11c + CD11b + dendritic cells (DCs) was observed in the lungs of PTX3 -/- mice compared to wild type littermate. Further analysis showed that a short-term OVA exposure led to an increased number of bone marrow common myeloid progenitors (CMP) population concomitantly with increased Ly6C high CCR2 high monocytes and CD11c + CD11b + DCs in the lungs. Also, pulmonary CD11c + CD11b + DCs from OVA-exposed PTX3 -/- mice exhibited enhanced expression of maturation markers, chemokines receptors CCR2, and increased OVA uptake and processing compared to wild type controls. Taken together, our data suggest that PTX3 deficiency heightened lung CD11c + CD11b + DC numbers and function, hence exacerbating airway inflammatory response.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
