“…Semaphorins (SEMA) are secreted and membrane‐bound proteins that regulate a wide range of biological functions, from tissue morphogenesis to immune response regulation (Kruger, Aurandt, & Guan, ). The semaphorin family is composed of eight classes including semaphorin‐3E (SEMA3E), which is involved in cell trafficking and immune cell‐to‐cell interactions (Choi et al, ; Takamatsu et al, ) and controls the functions of CD11c + (Movassagh, Shan, Mohammed, et al, ). SEMA3E is also implicated in the pathogenesis of many chronic inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (Mangasser‐Stephan, Dooley, Welter, Mutschler, & Hanselmann, ), asthma (Movassagh, Shan, Mohammed, et al, ), atherosclerosis (Wanschel et al, ), adipose tissue inflammation, and insulin resistance (Shimizu et al, ).…”
