Because migration is difficult to assess, residence is usually inferred by putative residence-defining phenotypic and gene signature proxies. We assessed the validity and universality of residence proxies by integrating mouse parabiosis, multi-organ sampling, intravascular staining, acute and chronic infection models, dirty mice, and single-cell multi-omics. We report that memory T cells integrate a constellation of inputs—location, stimulation history, antigen persistence, and environment—resulting in myriad differentiation states. Thus, current Trm-defining methodologies have implicit limitations, and a universal residence-specific signature may not exist. However, we define genes and phenotypes that more robustly correlate with tissue residence across the broad range of conditions that we tested. This study reveals broad adaptability of T cells to diverse stimulatory and environmental inputs and provides practical recommendations for evaluating Trm cells.","PeriodicalId":13269,"journal":{"name":"Immunity","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142857805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MR1-M<sub>3</sub>Ade tetramers identified heterogeneous MR1-reactive T cells <em>ex vivo</em> in healthy donors, individuals with acute myeloid leukemia, and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma and hepatocarcinoma. These cells displayed phenotypic, transcriptional, and functional diversity at distinct differentiation stages, indicating their adaptive nature. They were also polyclonal, with some preferential T cell receptor (TCRαβ) pair usage. Thus, M<sub>3</sub>Ade is an MR1-presented self-metabolite that enables stimulation and tracking of human-MR1T cells from blood and tissue, aiding our understanding of their roles in health and disease.","PeriodicalId":13269,"journal":{"name":"Immunity","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142841517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, whether lysosome function is also modulated by the cGAS-STING pathway remains unknown. Here, we discovered that the cGAS-STING pathway upregulated lysosomal activity by stimulating lysosome biogenesis independently of the downstream protein kinase TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1). STING activation enhanced lysosome biogenesis through inducing the nuclear translocation of transcription factor EB (TFEB) as well as its paralogs transcription factor E3 (TFE3) and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF). STING-induced lipidation of GABA type A receptor-associated protein (GABARAP), an autophagy-related protein, on STING vesicles was responsible for TFEB activation. Membrane-bound GABARAP sequestered the GTPase-activating protein folliculin (FLCN) and FLCN-interacting protein (FNIP) complex to block its function toward the Rag GTPases Ras-related GTP-binding C and D (RagC and RagD), abolishing mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1)-dependent phosphorylation and inactivation of TFEB. Functionally, STING-induced lysosome biogenesis within cells facilitated the clearance of cytoplasmic DNA and invading pathogens. Thus, our findings reveal that induction of lysosome biogenesis is another important function of the cGAS-STING pathway.","PeriodicalId":13269,"journal":{"name":"Immunity","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142825551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These TLSs were enriched with proliferative T cells, including follicular helper (Tfh), regulatory (Treg), and pathogenic T cells (<em>IL17A</em>+ and <em>IFNG</em>+), alongside extensive clonal expansion of plasma cells producing antibodies reactive to keratinocytes. HS fibroblasts express <em>CXCL13</em> or <em>CCL19</em> in response to immune cytokines. Using a microfluidic system to mimic TLS on a chip, we found that HS fibroblasts critically orchestrated lymphocyte aggregation via tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)-CXCL13 and TNF-α-CCL19 feedback loops with B and T cells, respectively; early TNF-α blockade suppressed aggregate initiation.

In this review, we consider functions of mast cells in sensations—such as pain, itch, and nausea—arising from tissue insults and inflammation and the ensuing protective responses.
