Here, we demonstrate that JunB is essential for cytotoxic CD8+ T cell responses. JunB expression is transiently induced, depending on T cell receptor (TCR) signal strength. JunB deficiency severely impairs clonal expansion of effector CD8+ T cells in response to acute infection with Listeria monocytogenes. Junb-deficient CD8+ T cells fail to control transcription and chromatin accessibility of a specific set of genes regulated by BATF and IRF4, resulting in impaired cell survival, glycolysis, and cytotoxic CD8+ T cell differentiation. Furthermore, JunB deficiency enhances expression of coinhibitory receptors, including programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) and T-cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (TIM3) upon activation of naïve CD8+ T cells. These results indicate that JunB, in collaboration with BATF and IRF4, promotes multiple key events in the early stage of cytotoxic CD8+ T cell responses.","PeriodicalId":13743,"journal":{"name":"International immunology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142464488","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}

They majorly consist of B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, and macrophages. Also found in smaller quantities are mesothelial, stromal, dendritic, and rare mast cells. In an experimental model of Schistosoma mansoni infection, there is significant activation of the omentum and milky spots, which exhibit numerous eosinophils. Despite being described for many years, the complete profile of cells found in milky spots and their functions remains largely unexplored. Here, we evaluate the leukocyte populations of the milky spots in homeostasis and a murine model of Schistosoma mansoni infection. The histopathological characterizations, phenotypic profile analysis, and characterization of the eosinophilic potential of progenitors and precursors comparing the milky spots with the spleen and bone marrow showed significant activation of milky spots in infected mice, with changes in the profile over the analyzed times, showing signs of migration and activation of eosinophils, with local eosinopoiesis and maintenance of the eosinophilic population. In naive mice, B1a and B1b cells comprise only a small fraction of B lymphocytes. However, B1b cells expand significantly during infection, peaking at 60 DPI before stabilizing by 90 DPI. B1a cells also increase initially but decrease over time. The behavior of milky spots differs from other primary and secondary lymphoid organs, acting as a central lymphoid organ in cavity immunity.","PeriodicalId":13743,"journal":{"name":"International immunology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142464487","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}

In this study, we aimed to identify an NK cell intrinsic regulator that controls T-bet expression. Using T-bet-luciferase reporter assay screening, we identified a protein phosphatase inhibitor as a potential activator of T-bet expression. A series of PP2A-specific inhibitors (PP2Ai) or PP2A siRNA induced the expression of T-bet. In PP2Ai-treated mice, the expressions of T-bet and its downstream effector molecules, granzyme B and IFN-γ, were also upregulated in NK cells. Mechanistically, PP2Ai increased the phosphorylation of mTOR and ribosomal protein S6 in NK cells, and mTOR inhibitor canceled the effects of PP2Ai in NK cells. Importantly, NK cells isolated from PP2Ai-treated mice showed higher cytotoxicity and IFN-γ production; therefore, they increased the anti-tumor effector function of NK cells. Accordingly, PP2Ai treatment inhibited lung metastasis of B16 melanoma by NK cell- and mTOR-dependent mechanisms. These results suggest that PP2A negatively regulates NK cell T-bet expression and effector function by an mTOR-dependent mechanism.","PeriodicalId":13743,"journal":{"name":"International immunology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142464489","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}

Turning up the heat of such cold TME via triggering innate immunity is now of increasing interest to restore immune-surveillance. Retinoic acid-inducible gene- I (RIG-I)-like receptors (RLRs) are cytosolic innate-sensors that can detect exogenous RNAs and induce type-I interferons and other pro-inflammatory signaling. RIG-I activation is suggested to be a valuable addition to the treatment approaches for several cancers. However, the knowledge about RIG-I signaling in PCa remains elusive. The present study evaluated the expression of two important RLRs, RIG-I and melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) along with their downstream partners, mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS) and ERA G-protein-like 1 (ERAL1) during PCa progression in the transgenic adenocarcinoma of mouse prostate (TRAMP) model. The early stage of PCa revealed a significant increment in the expression of RLRs, but not MAVS. However, the advanced stage showed downregulated RLR signaling. Further, the therapeutic implication of 5'ppp-dsRNA, a synthetic RIG-I agonist and Bcl2 gene silencer has been investigated in vitro and in vivo. Intra-tumoral delivery of 5'ppp-dsRNA regressed tumor growth via triggering tumor cells apoptosis, immunomodulation, and inducing phagocytic \"eat me\" signals. These findings highlight that, for the first time, RIG-I activation and Bcl-2 silencing with 5'ppp-dsRNA can serve as a potent tumor-suppressor strategy in PCa and has a significant clinical implication in transforming \"cold\" TME into immunogenic \"hot\" TME of PCa.","PeriodicalId":13743,"journal":{"name":"International immunology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142390363","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}

In the present study, we conducted CD26-based T cell subset analyses utilizing peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 57 SLE patients and 31 healthy adult volunteers. We show that the increase in CD26(-) T cell population reflects the abnormal expansion of CD26(-)CD28(-) cytotoxic subsets of both CD8 T cells and CD4 T cells in SLE patients. Single cell RNA sequencing analysis of the CD26(-)CD28(-) CD4 and CD8 T cell populations reveals unique characteristics with similarities to natural killer T cells. In addition, the level of CD26(-)CD28(-) T cells is increased in some active stage SLE patients with renal manifestation. Meanwhile, effect of prednisolone treatment on these populations varies from patient to patient, with levels of these cytotoxic effector populations still being elevated in some inactive stage SLE patients.

Immunosenescent phenotypes are associated with the emergence of unique lymphocyte subpopulations of both T and B lineages. We report that a CD153+ PD-1+ CD4+ T-cell subpopulation with severely attenuated T-cell receptor (TCR)-responsiveness, termed senescence-associated T (SAT) cells, co-evolve with potentially autoreactive CD30+ B cells, such as spontaneous germinal center B cells and age-associated B cells, in aging mice. SAT cells and CD30+ B cells are reciprocally activated with the aid of the interaction of CD153 with CD30 in trans and with the TCR complex in cis, resulting in the restoration of TCR-mediated proliferation and secretion of abundant proinflammatory cytokines in SAT cells and the activation and production of autoantibodies by CD30+ B cells. Besides normal aging, the development of SAT cells coupled with counterpart B cells may be robustly accelerated and accumulated in the relevant tissues of lymphoid or extra-lymphoid organs under chronic inflammatory conditions including autoimmunity and may contribute to the pathogenesis and aggravation of the disorders. This review summarizes and discusses recent advances in the understanding of SAT cells in the contexts of immunosenescent phenotypes, autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases and provides a novel therapeutic clue.","PeriodicalId":13743,"journal":{"name":"International immunology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142346132","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}

Dysfunction of Regnase-1 can be a major cause of various inflammatory diseases with tissue injury and immune cell infiltration into organs. This study focuses on the role of the RNase activity of Regnase-1 in developing inflammatory diseases. We have constructed mice with a single point mutation at the catalytic center of the Regnase-1 RNase domain, which lacks endonuclease activity. D141N mutant mice demonstrated systemic inflammation, immune cell infiltration into various organs, and progressive development of lung granuloma. CD4+ T cells, mainly affected by this mutation, upregulated the mTORC1 pathway and facilitated the autoimmune trait in the D141N mutation. Moreover, serine/threonine kinase Pim2 contributed to lung inflammation in this mutation. Inhibition of Pim2 kinase activity ameliorated granulomatous inflammation, immune cell infiltration, and proliferation in the lungs. Additionally, Pim2 inhibition reduced the expression of adhesion molecules on CD4+ T cells, suggesting a role for Pim2 in facilitating leukocyte adhesion and migration to inflamed tissues. Our findings provide new insights into the role of Regnase-1 RNase activity in controlling immune functions and underscore the therapeutic relevance of targeting Pim2 to modulate abnormal immune responses.","PeriodicalId":13743,"journal":{"name":"International immunology","volume":" ","pages":"497-516"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140862153","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}

Retinoid-related orphan receptor gamma t (RORγt), a nuclear hormone receptor, serves as a master transcription factor for Th17 cell differentiation. Recent findings have shown that modulating the metabolic pathway is critical for Th17 cell differentiation, particularly through the engagement of de novo lipid biosynthesis. Suppression of lipid biosynthesis, either through the pharmacological inhibition or gene deletion of related enzymes in CD4+ T cells, results in significant impairment of Th17 cell differentiation. Mechanistic studies indicate that metabolic fluxes through both the fatty acid and cholesterol biosynthetic pathways have a pivotal role in the regulation of RORγt activity through the generation of endogenous RORγt lipid ligands. This review discusses recent discoveries highlighting the importance of lipid metabolism in Th17 cell differentiation and function, as well as exploring specific molecular pathways involved in RORγt activation through cellular lipid metabolism.
