Previously, we demonstrated the accumulation of senescent cells in skin lesions of patients with LCL. Moreover, lesional transcriptomic analyses revealed a robust co-induction of senescence and pro-inflammatory gene signatures, highlighting the critical role of senescent T cells in orchestrating pathology. In this work we hypothesized that senescent cells might operate differently among the ATL spectrum, potentially influencing immunopathological mechanisms and clinical outcome. We analysed previously published RNA-Seq datasets of skin biopsies of healthy subjects and lesional skin from DCL patients, LCL patients and LCL patients that, after treatment, progressed to mucosal leishmaniasis (MLP). Our findings demonstrate a robust presence of a CD8 T cell signature associated with both LCL and MLP lesions. Moreover, both inflammatory and cytotoxic signatures were significantly upregulated, showing a strong increase in MLP and LCL groups, but not DCL. The senescence signature was elevated between LCL and MLP groups, representing the only distinguishable signature of immunopathology between them. Interestingly, our analyses further revealed the senescence signature's capacity to predict progression from LCL to mucosal forms, which was not observed with other signatures. Both the senescence-signature score and specific senescence-associated genes demonstrated an increased capacity to predict mucosal progression, with correct predictions exceeding 97% of cases. Collectively, our findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of immunosenescence in ATL and suggest that senescence may represent the latest and most important signature of the immunopathogenisis.

{"title":"Expression of sPD-L1 levels in an ex vivo liver perfusion model.","authors":"Christian Irsara, Annemarie Weissenbacher, Felix Julius Krendl, Markus Anliker, Julia Hofmann, Theresa Hautz, Stefan Schneeberger, Andrea Griesmacher, Lorin Loacker","doi":"10.1093/cei/uxae094","DOIUrl":"10.1093/cei/uxae094","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) acts as a central inhibitory immune checkpoint receptor. The soluble form of its primary ligand, sPD-L1, was found to be elevated in serum of patients with cancer, infectious diseases and chronic inflammation. So far, the hepatic origin of sPD-L1 has received relatively little attention and is therefore subject of this study in the context of normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of liver grafts. sPD-L1 concentrations as well as several well-established clinically relevant laboratory parameters were determined in the perfusate of 16 donor liver grafts undergoing normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) up to 30 hours (h). sPD-L1 levels continuously increased during NMP and significantly correlated with markers of hepatic synthesis (cholinesterase), acute-phase proteins (von Willebrand factor, procalcitonin, antithrombin, interleukin-6, fibrinogen) and liver decay markers (gamma-glutamyltransferase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase). Perfusate leukocytes were in the lower reference range, and decreased after 12 h. Mean sPD-L1 levels in the perfusate correlated with donor levels of gamma-glutamyltransferase, alanine aminotransferase, creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. Our study reveals a significant increase of concentration of sPD-L1 following ischemia-reperfusion injury in a hepatic ex vivo model. sPD-L1 concentrations during NMP correlate with established acute-phase proteins and liver cell decay markers suggesting that hepatic sPD-L1 synthesis or shedding increases during the acute phase and cell decay. Furthermore, sPD-L1 correlates with established liver function and synthesis parameters as well as with donor laboratory values and might therefore be a potential biomarker for hepatic function of liver grafts.</p>","PeriodicalId":10268,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and experimental immunology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142459407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
