This study delves into these complexities by comparing the immunological landscapes of healthy individuals from distinct backgrounds: 40 Vietnamese and 24 German participants. Our comprehensive analysis, encompassing 42 lymphocyte populations and 17 cytokines, reveals profound differences in immune profiles between these two populations. Utilizing multicolor flow cytometry and advanced analytical platforms, we conducted a comprehensive characterization of the cellular and molecular components of individual immune systems. Statistical analyses revealed highly significant differences (p &lt; 0.05) between Vietnamese and German cohorts in 33 out of 42 lymphocyte populations and 15 out of 17 cytokines. These disparities encompassed a wide range of immune cell subsets, including T, B and NK cells and involved both activating and inhibitory immune regulators. Healthy Vietnamese subjects exhibited significantly higher numbers of B, T and NK cells compared to their German counterparts. Vietnamese participants displayed higher proportions of plasma cells, immature B cells, and B cells with low CD21 expression (CD21low), which have a phenotypic characteristic of chronic stimulation. Of the 16 subpopulations of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subpopulations, 11 were significantly elevated in Vietnamese compared to German subjects. Additionally, Vietnamese participants expressed higher proportions of markers for functional and activating NK receptors, indicating the presence of highly cytotoxic NK cells in this population. Almost all of the 17 cytokines examined were significantly lower in Vietnamese subjects. These results demonstrate statistically significant variations in immunological profiles between healthy individuals from Eastern and Western populations. Our findings suggest that caution should be exercised when applying Western reference health profiles to Eastern subjects in clinical settings. This comprehensive analysis underscores the importance of considering population-specific immune profiles in clinical and research contexts, particularly when evaluating immunological parameters across diverse ethnic groups.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100197,"journal":{"name":"Brain Behavior and Immunity Integrative","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100083"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949834124000394/pdfft?md5=6b07d082fa621fe900b2e0a182e44e8a&pid=1-s2.0-S2949834124000394-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142098166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MIA of toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) initiates an immune response in mother and fetuses in a sex-selective manner. The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN), a brain region that is sexually dimorphic and regulates hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) stress responses, have been tied to stress-related behaviors (i.e., depression, anxiety, social impairments). The current study characterized the sex-selective impact of mid-gestational TLR7 activation on PVN vasculature of adult offspring based on a prior study of excess prenatal glucocorticoid stress. The PVN of offspring were evaluated to determine if fetal MIA impacted vascular leakage in the brains of adult mice with or without restraint stress. Timed-pregnant female mice were administered the TLR7 agonist Resiquimod (RQ) or saline vehicle on embryonic day (E) 12.5. Basal and restraint stress-induced corticosterone was measured to examine changes in stress response. Mice were perfused transcardially with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) to assess blood vessel integrity. Sections with FITC-labeled blood vessels through the PVN of offspring were immunolabeled for Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP; astrocytic end feet) and IBA-1 (microglia). MIA with RQ led to elevated levels of plasma corticosterone 60-minutes after restraint in offspring, suggesting prenatal RQ impairs glucocorticoid negative feedback. Blood-brain barrier integrity was assessed. Adult offspring of RQ injected dams showed greater leakage in the PVN (greater in males than females). GFAP<em>+</em> colocalization with FITC-labeled vessels was lower in the PVN of offspring from RQ treated dams, potentially contributing to the observed increased FITC leakage. Microglia were examined in relation to the vasculature as an indicator of a neuroimmune response. Data show IBA-1+ cells greater in size and number in the PVN with closer proximity to blood vessels after maternal injection of RQ in a male-selective manner. Microglia were unchanged in females from RQ-treated dams but were smaller in size after restraint. This study provides support for sex-selective influences of fetal immune antecedents for altered brain vascular and blood brain barrier development and adult neuroendocrine function that could indicate a PVN locus for increased susceptibility for adult disorders.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100197,"journal":{"name":"Brain Behavior and Immunity Integrative","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100081"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949834124000370/pdfft?md5=3fb879584571302a7aa6caf371841894&pid=1-s2.0-S2949834124000370-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142098168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
