In the present study, we describe the clinical and immunological characteristics of an Egyptian patient with a mutation in the MALT1 gene. The patient suffered from an itchy exfoliative skin rash and eczematous lesions over his face and flexural surface of the limbs. He also had dental enamel erosion, repeated attacks of diarrhea, and pneumonia. He had elevated serum IgE and normal B- and T-lymphocyte subset counts, but there was an arrest in the B-cell maturation. DOCK8 expression on the lymphocytes by flow cytometry was normal. Next-generation sequencing revealed a novel homozygous variant in the MALT1 gene (c.762dup in exon 5 of 17; p.Ile255TyrfsTer10); this variant is likely pathogenic, thus supporting the genetic diagnosis of immunodeficiency-12 (IMD12). Although the presence of eczema, recurrent sinopulmonary, and staphylococcal infections are suggestive of DOCK8 deficiency, they are also a finding in CARD11 and MALT1 deficiency. Thus, whenever DOCK 8 has been excluded, the molecular diagnosis is mandatory as this could lead to discovering more patients hence better understanding and reporting of the phenotype and natural history of the disease especially since there are very few documented cases. Early diagnosis will also enable the proper patient management by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) prior to the establishment of infections and pulmonary damage leading to a better outcome.</p>","PeriodicalId":13389,"journal":{"name":"Immunologic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141626661","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}

Moreover, an attempt to clarify the involvement of c-SRC kinase in EDP mechanism of action was also undertaken. Our data show that the VGVAPG and VVGPGA peptides are not toxic in the studied cell lines. Moreover, due to the involvement of KI67 and PCNA proteins in the cell cycle and proliferation, we can assume that neither peptide stimulates cell proliferation.

However, due to the different origins (HL-60 and K562-leukemic cell line vs. MEG-A2-megakaryoblastic origin) of the cell lines, the mechanism may differ.

The mechanisms of immune evasion during chronic HBV (CHB) infection are poorly understood. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G, an immune checkpoint molecule, plays a crucial role in the tolerance mechanisms of various infectious diseases. The 3' untranslated region (3'UTR), including the HLA-G + 3142 C > G polymorphism (rs1063320) and the 14-pb Ins/Del (rs66554220) has been strongly suggested to influence HLA-G expression. This study conducted a case-control analysis to evaluate the potential correlation between the HLA-G + 3142 C > G polymorphism and HBV infection outcome in a Tunisian cohort. The HLA-G + 3142 C > G polymorphism was analysed by PCR-RFLP in 242 patients with chronic HBV infection (116 males and 126 females), 241 healthy controls (116 males and 125 females), and 100 spontaneously resolved subjects (52 males and 48 females). Patients with chronic HBV infection showed a higher frequency of the + 3142G allele compared to healthy controls and spontaneously resolved subjects (p = 0.001 and p = 0.002, respectively). An association between the + 3142G allele and high HBV DNA levels was observed when HBV patients were stratified based on their HBV DNA levels (p = 0.016). Furthermore, the dominant model (GG + GC vs CC) was associated with liver function parameters, including AST, ALT, and high HBV DNA levels (p = 0.04, p < 0.001 and p = 0.002, respectively). However, there was no significant association found between this polymorphism and the fibrosis stage (p = 0.32). The haplotype analysis, using a subset of previously published data on the HLA-G 14-pb Ins/Del polymorphism, revealed an association between the Ins/G haplotype and chronic HBV infection (H1: InsG, p < 0.001). Our findings suggest that the + 3142G allele is a risk factor for the persistence and progression of HBV infection, while the + 3142C allele serves as a protective allele associated with the spontaneous resolution of the infection.

We observed that the percentage of iNKT cells and CD4-iNKT cells gradually decreased, whereas the percentage of CCR2+TREM-1+ monocytes increased with the progression of the disease. In addition, activation of the TREM-1 signaling pathway induced the secretion of inflammatory cytokines leading to pyroptosis of iNKT cells and secretion of IL-17 contributing towards disease progression. Therefore, this study suggests that blocking the activation of TREM-1 in monocytes could promote the elimination of HBV by inhibiting pyroptosis of iNKT cells and restoring their function.

Protein variations in the EMT pathway and Keap1/nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway were investigated by Western blot analysis. Targeting relationship verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The expression of miR-141-3p was significantly upregulated in LPS-induced ARDS rats, while Keap1 was downregulated. Overexpression of miR-141-3p decreased the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione (GSH) while elevating malondialdehyde (MDA) expression in LPS-induced ARDS rats. Elevation of miR-141-3p reduced fibrosis scores, enhanced E-cadherin protein expression, and decreased vimentin and α-SMA protein expression in LPS-induced ARDS rats. This elevation of miR-141-3p also upregulated Nrf2, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and NAD(P)H:quinone oxido-reductase-1 (NQO1) proteins levels. Moreover, Keap1 overexpression reversed the inhibitory effects of miR-141-3p on LPS-triggered inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis. miR-141-3p may attenuate inflammation and oxidative stress-induced pulmonary fibrosis in ARDS via the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway.
