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":" ","pages":"1147-1153"},"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}

The results showed that both hematopoietic and NK cell conditional deletion of Tet2 had no effect on the early steps of NK cell development, but impaired the terminal maturation of NK cells defined by CD11b, CD43, and KLRG1 expression. In the liver, Tet2 deletion not only prevented the terminal maturation of NK cells, but also increased the proportion of type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) and reduced the proportion of conventional NK cells (cNK). Moreover, hematopoietic deletion of Tet2 lowered the protein levels of perforin in NK cells. Furthermore, hematopoietic deletion of Tet2 downregulated the protein levels of Eomesodermin (Eomes), but not T-bet, in NK cells.

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.

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, previous studies have shown that HBV infection induced TREM-1+ expression in monocyte and secretion of inflammatory cytokines. Thus, this prompted us to elucidate the role of TREM-1+ monocytes in regulating the function of iNKT cells. Ninety patients and 20 healthy participants were enrolled in the study. The percentage and phenotype of iNKT cells and TREM-1+ monocytes were measured in the peripheral blood of healthy controls (HC), patients with chronic HBV infection (CHB), HBV-related liver cirrhosis (LC), and HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) via flow cytometry. Moreover, co-culture experiments with iNKT cells and TREM-1 overexpressing THP-1 cells were performed to determine the role of TREM-1 in the regulation of NKT cell function. 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. However, further studies are required to validate these results that would help in developing new treatment strategies for patients with HBV infections.</p>","PeriodicalId":13389,"journal":{"name":"Immunologic Research","volume":" ","pages":"938-947"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141175479","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}
