Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles secreted by most cell types. The exosomal membrane proteins are implicated in various biological and pathological pathways. This study aims to explore the potential roles of exosomes in BP pathomechanism.Research design: We collected plasma samples from 30 BP patients and 31 healthy controls. Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) was used to analyze the size and concentration of exosomes. The immunogold labelling experiment and extracellular vesicle (EV) array were performed to detect the content and distribution of exosomes.Results: The exosomes from both the BP and control groups' plasma were successfully extracted. EV Array showed that CD63 and CD9 levels were significantly higher in the BP group than in the control group (p < 0.05). Expression levels of the BP180 NC16A and intracellular domain (ICD) were higher in the anti-BP180 positive group versus the controls (p < 0.05). The active BP group exhibits higher CD63 and BP180 ICD protein concentrations than the control or inactive BP groups (p < 0.05).Conclusion: BP180 autoantigen fragments were expressed on the exosomal membrane in BP patients. The BP180 ICD and CD63 on exosomes could potentially be novel biomarkers for monitoring disease activity.","PeriodicalId":12175,"journal":{"name":"Expert Review of Clinical Immunology","volume":" ","pages":"1493-1501"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142125235","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}

The complex pathophysiology of rejection depends on a fine-tuned interplay between the innate and adaptive immune systems.Areas covered: This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the pathophysiology of rejection of kidney grafts, performed through careful selection of most relevant papers available on the topic in the PubMed database. The two types of rejection usually observed at the kidney biopsy, i.e. cellular and humoral rejection, are described with an accurate outline of the biological processes that lead to their development.Expert opinion: The incidence of T-cell-mediated rejection is decreasing, and most cases promptly respond to appropriate immunosuppression. However, late diagnosis or incomplete response to treatment may have deleterious consequences in the long term. The main issue is represented by antibody-mediated rejection, which unsatisfactorily responds to aggressive immunosuppression, especially when diagnosed late. Prevention of acute ABMR rests on HLA-specific antibody detection prior to transplantation, adequate immunosuppression, and optimal patients' compliance. Late diagnosis and poor response to treatment inevitably lead to chronic ABMR, for which no therapies are currently available.","PeriodicalId":12175,"journal":{"name":"Expert Review of Clinical Immunology","volume":" ","pages":"1471-1481"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142521467","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}

The cross-talk between tumor cells and immune cells may be an important risk factor in lymphomagenesis.Areas covered: The present review highlights immune cell, genetic and histopathological alterations in the CVID-associated NHLs.Expert opinion: CVID patients exhibit some notable immune defects that may predispose to lymphomas. T/NK cell defects including reduced T cells, naïve CD4+T cells, T regs, and Th17 cells, increased CD8+T cells with reduced T cell proliferative and cytokine responses and reduced iNKT and NK cell count and cytotoxicity. B cell defects include increased transitional and CD21low B cells, clonal IgH gene rearrangements, and increased BCMA levels. Increase in IL-9, sCD30 levels, and upregulation of BAFF-BAFFR signaling are associated with lymphomas in CVID. Increased expression of PFTK1, duplication of ORC4L, germline defects in TACI, NFKB1, and PIK3CD, and somatic mutations in NOTCH2 and MYD88 are reported in CVID-associated lymphomas.

New-onset DM can manifest during BP treatment, primarily due to corticosteroid therapy. Among all antidiabetic medications, dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors (DPP-4i) have the most solid association with BP onset. Other antidiabetic medications have also been reportedly associated with BP, including meglitinides, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1)-receptor agonists, and sodium-dependent glucose transporters 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i).
