While variations in the duration of protection have been observed with vaccines prepared from different pathogens, little is known about the factors that determine PIP. Here, we investigated the impact of three parameters on the duration of anti-peptide IgG production, namely amino acid sequences, protein carriers, and immunization programs. We show that anti-peptide IgG production can be transformed from transient IgG production (TIP) to PIP, by placing short peptides (Pi) containing linear B cell epitopes in different competitive environments using bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugates instead of the original viral particles. When goats were immunized with the peste des petits ruminants (PPR) live-attenuated vaccine (containing Pi as the constitutive component) and BSA-Pi conjugate, anti-Pi IgG production exhibited TIP (duration < 60 days) and PIP (duration > 368 days), respectively. Further, this PIP was unaffected by subsequent immunization with the PPR live-attenuated vaccine in the same goat. When goats were coimmunized with PPR live-attenuated vaccine and BSA-Pi, the induced anti-Pi IgG production showed a slightly extended TIP (from ~60 days to ~100 days). This discovery provides new perspectives for studying the fate of plasma cells in humoral immune responses and developing peptide vaccines related to linear neutralizing epitopes from various viruses.","PeriodicalId":13743,"journal":{"name":"International immunology","volume":" ","pages":"517-528"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140857033","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}

Our previous studies showed that the addition of CCR5 or CXCR3 antagonists could only slightly alleviate the development of aGVHD. Given the specificity of T lymphocytes bearing CXCR3 and CCR5, we investigated whether combined CCR5 and CXCR3 blockade could further attenuate murine aGVHD. A mouse model of aGVHD was established to assess the efficacy of CCR5 and/or CXCR3 blockade on the development of aGVHD. The distribution of lymphocytes was calculated by quantification of immunostaining cells. The immunomodulatory effect on T cells was assessed by evaluating T-cell proliferation, viability, and differentiation. Using the murine allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation model, we demonstrated that blockade of both CCR5 and CXCR3 could efficiently alleviate the development of aGVHD. Further investigation on the immune mechanisms for this prophylactic effect showed that more T cells were detained into secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs), which may lead to reduced infiltration of T cells into GVHD target organs. Our study also showed that T cells detained in SLOs dampened the activation, suppressed the polarization toward T helper type 1 (Th1) and T cytotoxic type 1 (Tc1) cells, and induced the production of Treg cells. These data suggest that concurrent blockade of CCR5 and CXCR3 attenuates murine aGVHD through modulating donor-derived T-cell distribution and function, and this might be applicable for aGVHD prophylaxis in clinical settings.","PeriodicalId":13743,"journal":{"name":"International immunology","volume":" ","pages":"541-552"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11385202/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141081220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dysregulated expression of IL-6 is associated with hyperinflammation and chronic inflammatory diseases.

Through comprehensive genome-wide ChIP- and ATAC-seq analyses, we identified two distinct clusters, termed E1 and E2 regions, located at -144 to -163 kb relative to the Il6 transcription start site in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated murine macrophages. These clusters exhibited an accumulation of histone modification marks (H3K27ac and H3K4me1), as well as open chromatin, and were found to contain binding sites for the transcription factors PU.1, NF-κB, C/EBPβ, and JunB. Upregulation of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) transcripts from the E1 and E2 regions was observed upon LPS stimulation, and repression of these ncRNAs resulted in abrogation of Il6 expression. Additionally, deletion of either E1 or E2 region significantly impaired Il6 expression, while CRISPR/dCas9 activation-mediated recruitment of the co-activator p300 to the E1 and E2 regions facilitated Il6 expression.

In this study, we investigated the potential interaction between C1q and human CL isoforms. Quantitative single-molecule observations using high-speed atomic force microscopy revealed that human Cκ exhibited comparable C1q binding capabilities with its mouse counterpart, surpassing the Cλ types, which have a higher isoelectric point than the Cκ domains. Nuclear magnetic resonance and mutation experiments indicated that the human and mouse Cκ domains share a common primary binding site for C1q, centred on Glu194, a residue conserved in the Cκ domains but absent in the Cλ domains. Additionally, the Cγ1 domain, with its high isoelectric point, can cause electrostatic repulsion to the C1q head and impede the C1q-interaction adjustability of the Cκ domain in Fab. The removal of the Cγ1 domain is considered to eliminate these factors and thus promote Cκ interaction with C1q with the potential risk of uncontrolled activation of the complement pathway in vivo in the absence of antigen. However, this research underscores the presence of potential subsites in Fab for C1q binding, offering promising targets for antibody engineering to refine therapeutic antibody design.","PeriodicalId":13743,"journal":{"name":"International immunology","volume":" ","pages":"405-412"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11245854/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140335484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, several vaccines targeting N. meningitidis have been developed albeit with a short-lived protection. Given that MenW and MenB are the most common causes of IMD in Europe, Turkey, and the Middle East, we aimed to develop an outer membrane vesicle (OMV) based bivalent vaccine as the heterologous antigen source. Herein, we compared the immunogenicity, and breadth of serum bactericidal activity (SBA) assay-based protective coverage of OMV vaccine to the X serotype with existing commercial meningococcal conjugate and polysaccharide (PS) vaccines in a murine model. BALB/c mice were immunized with preclinical batches of the W + B OMV vaccine, either adjuvanted with Alum, CpG ODN, or their combinations, and compared with a MenACYW conjugate vaccine (NimenrixTM, Pfizer), and a MenB OMV-based vaccine (Bexsero®, GSK), The immune responses were assessed through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and SBA assay. Antibody responses and SBA titers were significantly higher in the W + B OMV vaccine when adjuvanted with Alum or CpG ODN, as compared to the control groups. Moreover, the SBA titers were not only significantly higher than those achieved with available conjugated ACYW vaccines but also on par with the 4CMenB vaccines. In conclusion, the W + B OMV vaccine demonstrated the capacity to elicit robust antibody responses, surpassing or matching the levels induced by licensed meningococcal vaccines. Consequently, the W + B OMV vaccine could potentially serve as a viable alternative or supplement to existing meningococcal vaccines.","PeriodicalId":13743,"journal":{"name":"International immunology","volume":" ","pages":"393-404"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140305534","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}

Disruption of the intestinal barrier integrity is a leading cause of various gastrointestinal diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease. The homeostasis of the intestinal barrier is tightly regulated by crosstalk between gut microbes and the immune system; however, the implication of the immune system on the imbalance of gut microbes that disrupts barrier integrity remains to be fully elucidated. An inhibitory immunoglobulin-like receptor, Allergin-1, is expressed on mast cells and dendritic cells and inhibits Toll-like receptor (TLR)-2 and TLR-4 signaling in these cells. Since TLRs are major sensors of microbiota and are involved in local epithelial homeostasis, we investigated the role of Allergin-1 in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Allergin-1-deficient (Milr1-/-) mice exhibited more severe dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis than did wild-type (WT) mice. Milr1-/- mice showed an enhanced intestinal permeability compared with WT mice even before DSS administration. Treatment of Milr1-/- mice with neomycin, but not ampicillin, restored intestinal barrier integrity. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis demonstrated that Bifidobacterium pseudolongum was the dominant bacterium in Milr1-/- mice after treatment with ampicillin. Although the transfer of B. pseudolongum to germ-free WT mice had no effect on intestinal permeability, its transfer into ampicillin-treated WT mice enhanced intestinal permeability. These results demonstrated that Allergin-1 deficiency enhanced intestinal dysbiosis with expanded B. pseudolongum, which contributes to intestinal barrier dysfunction in collaboration with neomycin-sensitive and ampicillin-resistant microbiota.","PeriodicalId":13743,"journal":{"name":"International immunology","volume":" ","pages":"365-371"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140039262","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}

Key to the discussion is the macrophage polarization influenced by various cytokines, with a detailed exploration of the metabolic shifts towards glycolysis under hypoxic conditions and the utilization of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) for crucial biosynthetic processes. Significant attention is given to the metabolism of L-arginine in macrophages and its impact on immune response and granuloma function. The review also highlights the role of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling in macrophage differentiation and its implications in granulomatous diseases. Discoveries such as elevated PPP activity in granuloma-associated macrophages and the protective role of NADPH against oxidative stress offer novel insights into granuloma biology. The review concludes by suggesting potential therapeutic targets within these metabolic pathways to modulate granuloma formation and function, proposing new treatment avenues for conditions characterized by chronic inflammation and granuloma formation.

Healthy donor-derived T cells usually proliferate better than patients-derived T cells and are precious resources to generate off-the-shelf CAR-T cells. However, relatively little is known about the determinants that affect the efficient generation of CAR-T cells from healthy donor-derived peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) compared with those from the patients' own PBMCs. We here examined the efficiency of CAR-T cell generation from multiple healthy donor samples and analyzed its association with the phenotypic features of the starting peripheral blood T cells. We found that CD62L expression levels within CD8+ T cells were significantly correlated with CAR-T cell expansion. Moreover, high CD62L expression within naïve T cells was associated with the efficient expansion of T cells with a stem cell-like memory phenotype, an indicator of high-quality infusion products. Intriguingly, genetic disruption of CD62L significantly impaired CAR-T cell proliferation and cytokine production upon antigen stimulation. Conversely, ectopic expression of a shedding-resistant CD62L mutant augmented CAR-T cell effector functions compared to unmodified CAR-T cells, resulting in improved antitumor activity in vivo. Collectively, we identified the surface expression of CD62L as a concise indicator of potent T-cell proliferation. CD62L expression is also associated with the functional properties of CAR-T cells.
