To address this question, we employed a persistent infection mouse model using attenuated Salmonella expressing an acid tolerant fluorescent protein. We found that the bacteria predominantly resided in monocytes. Although these cells expressed Ly-6G, a typical marker for neutrophils, they did not exhibit a polymorphonuclear morphology.

These models hold promise for malaria infection studies and vaccine development.

In this study, we explored the rejection mechanisms of hRBCs in immunodeficient NOD/Shi-scid-IL2rγnull (NOG) mice and developed a novel model for long-term RBC engraftment. We observed rapid depletion of fluorescently labeled hRBCs in the liver, but not in other organs, of NOG mice, with Gr-1midCD68+ mouse macrophages playing a significant role in the elimination of hRBCs in the liver. To counteract this, we created thymidine kinase (TK) transgenic (Tg) mice under the human CD68 promoter (NOG-pCD68-TK Tg), which, upon administration of valganciclovir (VGCV), led to the successful depletion of macrophages. Consequently, hRBCs showed significantly prolonged engraftment in NOG-pCD68-TK Tg mice compared to non-Tg mice following macrophage depletion, maintaining engraftment for up to 14 d post-transplantation.

Current treatments remain largely ineffective due to an incomplete understanding of the complex pathology, including the interactions between fibroblasts and profibrotic immune cells within fibrotic lungs. To elucidate the dynamics of fibrosis, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) obtained from patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). We identified the SPP1- and APOE-expressing macrophage population that is commonly present across ILDs. Histological analysis showed that this macrophage population accumulated at the center of fibrotic foci. Furthermore, the ratio of this macrophage population was increased in both progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Transcriptomic analysis further divided this macrophage population into two subsets: SLC40A1+ or HAMP+ fibrosis-associated macrophages. We found that the relative balance of IL-10 and IL-8 regulated SLC40A1 and HAMP expression within fibrosis-associated macrophages. Additionally, histological analysis revealed that bronchial epithelium expressed IL-8, while type II alveolar epithelial cells expressed IL-10 in the fibrotic lung. SLC40A1+ fibrosis-associated macrophages localized to CD31+ perivascular regions and mediated the uptake and degradation of the hemoglobin-haptoglobin complex. This dual pathway-providing iron via SLC40A1 and intracellular iron accumulation via HAMP-facilitated the transition of fibroblasts into SPP1+ myofibroblasts. Moreover, ferroptotic fibroblasts secreted TGF-β1, which further contributes to fibrotic progression. In conclusion, aberrant iron metabolism orchestrated by fibrosis-associated macrophages may contribute to fibrosis by facilitating the transition of myofibroblasts.

PDLIM4-deficiency in CD4+ T cells resulted in augmented tyrosine phosphorylation of these STAT proteins and consequently enhanced Th1, Th2 and Th17 cell differentiation, suggesting that PDLIM4 regulates the differentiation of multiple lineages of Th cells by suppressing STAT signaling. We further found that a non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphism (nsSNP) in PDLIM4, which causes the substitution of a glycine residue with a cysteine in the LIM domain, is associated with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis and Graves' disease, both of which are known to be Th17 cell-driven autoimmune diseases.

Yet the evolutionary origins of such systems remain incompletely understood. In this review, we examine adaptive immunity from a comparative perspective across Metazoa, focusing on the design principles that link molecular diversification, immune cell differentiation, and proliferative dynamics. We first outline the two adaptive immune architectures found in vertebrates. Jawed vertebrates employ immunoglobulin-based and T cell receptor (TCR)-based recognition generated through RAG-mediated V(D)J recombination, whereas jawless vertebrates assemble variable lymphocyte receptors using cytidine-deaminase-dependent diversification of leucine-rich-repeat modules. Despite their distinct molecular entities, these systems converge on shared design principles, including somatic diversification, developmental restriction of genome editing, immune cell differentiation, and specialized microenvironments for immune education. To introduce evolutionarily more ancient systems, several diversification mechanisms of antigen-receptors in invertebrates will be subsequently surveyed. These systems generate substantial molecular diversity without canonical clonal selection, suggesting that immune recognition and diversification can be achieved through multiple evolutionary strategies. Particular attention is given to emerging insights into invertebrate immune cell diversification, where single-cell transcriptomics is revealing complex hematopoietic lineages and regulatory programs. These observations suggest that adaptive immunity did not emerge abruptly but rather represents one solution within a broader evolutionary landscape of immune diversification strategies. Understanding how diversification, proliferation, and cellular organization interact across animal lineages will help clarify the fundamental design constraints that shaped the evolution of vertebrate adaptive immune systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":13743,"journal":{"name":"International immunology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147689448","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}
