Using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study, we assessed age-standardized incidence (ASIR), prevalence (ASPR), mortality (ASMR), and disability-adjusted life years (ASDR) across 204 countries. Statistical analyses included Pearson correlation to evaluate SDI associations, decomposition analysis to quantify burden drivers, and APC modeling to disentangle age, period, and cohort effects. In 2021, the global ASIR, ASPR, ASMR, and ASDR for IBD in women of reproductive age were 4.38, 45.90, 0.50, and 17.75 per 100,000, respectively. The health burden of IBD in women of reproductive age varies by region. Australasia has the highest ASIR and ASPR globally, while these metrics are lowest in Central Latin America. Western Europe exhibits the highest ASMR, whereas Oceania has the lowest. In terms of ASDR North America, with its higher income, bears the heaviest burden, while Oceania experiences the lightest. Furthermore, APC analysis revealed age-specific risks peaking at 45-49 years, and significant cohort effects in middle/low-SDI regions, where post-1977 birth cohorts showed elevated incidence. Period effects highlighted diverging trends: stable incidence in high-SDI regions vs. rising rates in mid-SDI regions due to urbanization and lifestyle shifts. The IBD burden among reproductive-aged women is rising disproportionately, shaped by SDI gradients and demographic transitions. High-SDI regions require strategies targeting aging populations and comorbidities, while low/middle-SDI regions need investments in early diagnosis and equitable care.</p>","PeriodicalId":13389,"journal":{"name":"Immunologic Research","volume":"73 1","pages":"101"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144505572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Precise regulation of these cytokines renders the host pathogen-free, whereas their dysregulation increases the susceptibility to infection. Hence, induction of host protective cytokines using immunomodulators to promote M. tuberculosis clearance has a rewarding impact in the context of TB treatment. This study explored the immunomodulatory activity of 4-(Benzyloxy)phenol (4-BOP) in mycobacteria infected differentiated THP-1 cells through IL-35 (an anti-inflammatory cytokine) production. Initially, we observed an increased mRNA and protein level expression of IL-35 and its cognate receptor upon 4-BOP treatment in mycobacteria-infected dTHP-1 cells. IL-35 receptor activation further led to phosphorylation of JAK1/STAT3, culminating in increased phagosome-lysosome fusion through elevation of intracellular Ca<sup>2+</sup> level. Blocking IL-35 receptors using siRNA-mediated approach against IL-12Rβ2 and gp130 or the JAK1/STAT3 associated signaling with specific inhibitors like Baricitinib and Stattic promoted the intracellular mycobacterial survival by compromising Ca<sup>2+</sup>-phagosome-lysosome fusion pathway. Further, we identified a direct regulatory role of p53 (known to be activated by 4-BOP) on IL-35 production, and inhibition of p53 using PFT-α surprisingly abrogated the IL-35 mediated signaling axis. Collectively, our results demonstrated a host defensive role of 4-BOP-induced Il-35 signaling in mycobacteria-infected dTHP-1 cells through the JAK1/STAT3 mediated Ca<sup>2+</sup>-phagosome-lysosome fusion pathway.

Furthermore, endogenously expressed SIRP-β2 potentiates cancer cell trogocytosis by granulocytes. Here, we delineate the role of SIRP-β2 in AML.

In line with this, co-culture of macrophages/neutrophils with ectopically expressed SIRP-β2 tumor cells results in an increased phagocytosis/trogocytosis treated with anti-CD47.
