Maternal helminth infections correlate with lower Ab titers to certain childhood immunizations and putative decreased vaccine efficacy. The mechanisms that underlie how maternal infection blunts offspring humoral responses are unclear. Using our murine model of maternal schistosomiasis, we found that maternal helminth infection decreases the germinal center response of all offspring to tetanus immunization. However, only male offspring have defects in memory B cell and long-lived plasma cell generation. We found this sex-specific aberration begins during B cell development within the bone marrow via alteration of the IL-7 niche and persists throughout antigenic activation in the germinal center in the periphery. Critically, these defects in males are cell intrinsic, persisting following adoptive transfer to control male pups. Together, these data show that maternal infections can alter both the bone marrow microenvironment and the development of B lymphocytes in a sex-specific manner.

However, due to the presence of multiple components in virions, the precise biochemical and biophysical signals from viral infections that initiate nAb responses remain inadequately defined. Using a reductionist system of synthetic virus-like structures, in this study, we show that a foreign protein on a virion-sized liposome can serve as a stand-alone danger signal to initiate class-switched nAb responses without T cell help or TLR but requires CD19. Introduction of internal nucleic acids (iNAs) obviates the need for CD19, lowers the epitope density (ED) required to elicit the Ab response, and transforms these structures into highly potent immunogens that rival conventional virus-like particles in their ability to elicit strong Ag-specific IgG. As early as day 5 after immunization, structures harboring iNAs and decorated with just a few molecules of surface Ag at doses as low as 100 ng induced all IgG subclasses of Ab in mice and reproduced the IgG2a/2c restriction that is long observed in live viral infections. These findings reveal a shared mechanism for the nAb response in mice. High ED is capable but not necessary for driving Ab secretion. Instead, even a few molecules of surface Ag, when combined with nucleic acids within these structures, can trigger strong IgG production. As a result, the signaling threshold for induction of IgG in individual B cells is set by dual signals originating from both ED on the surface and the presence of iNAs within viral particulate immunogens.</p>","PeriodicalId":16045,"journal":{"name":"Journal of immunology","volume":" ","pages":"1061-1075"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11458362/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142108109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Podosomes are a unique type of protrusion structured by an adhesive ring of active integrins that surround an F-actin-rich core harboring degradative proteases. Although the features of podosomes, once-established, have been well defined, the steps that lead to podosome formation remain poorly understood by comparison. In this study, we report that spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is a critical regulator of podosome formation. Deletion of Syk or targeting its kinase activity eliminated the ability for murine macrophages to form podosomes. We found that the kinase activity of Syk was important for the phosphorylation of its substrates, HS1 and Pyk2, both of which regulate podosome formation. Additionally, before podosomes form, we report that the tandem Src homology 2 domains of Syk afforded multivalent clustering of ITAM-containing adaptors that associated with integrins to structure platforms that initiate podosomes. We therefore propose that Syk has a dual role in regulating podosomes: first, by facilitating the assembly of multivalent signaling hubs that nucleate their formation and second, by sustaining tyrosine kinase activity of the podosomes once they form against their substrates. In cells expressing recently identified gain-of-function variants of SYK, podosomes were dysregulated.

However, exposure to these drugs increases the risk of opportunistic infections such as with the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, which causes mortality in >50% of infected patients. The mechanisms by which glucocorticoids increase susceptibility to A. fumigatus are poorly understood. In this article, we used a zebrafish larva Aspergillus infection model to identify innate immune mechanisms altered by glucocorticoid treatment. Infected larvae exposed to dexamethasone succumb to infection at a significantly higher rate than control larvae. However, both macrophages and neutrophils are still recruited to the site of infection, and dexamethasone treatment does not significantly affect fungal spore killing. Instead, the primary effect of dexamethasone manifests later in infection with treated larvae exhibiting increased invasive hyphal growth. In line with this, dexamethasone predominantly inhibits neutrophil function rather than macrophage function. Dexamethasone-induced mortality also depends on the glucocorticoid receptor. Dexamethasone partially suppresses NF-κB activation at the infection site by inducing the transcription of IκB via the glucocorticoid receptor. Independent CRISPR/Cas9 targeting of IKKγ to prevent NF-κB activation also increases invasive A. fumigatus growth and larval mortality. However, dexamethasone treatment of IKKγ crispant larvae further increases invasive hyphal growth and host mortality, suggesting that dexamethasone may suppress other pathways in addition to NF-κB to promote host susceptibility.
