The missense XLA group exhibited significant downregulation of IRAK2, PIK3R4, REL, and TFRC and upregulation of TLR3 and/or TLR6.Conclusion: Hypo-expression of TLR3, TLR6, and TLR10 may increase susceptibility to infections, while hyper-expression might contribute to chronic inflammatory conditions like arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease.

Linear regression mathematical analyses further revealed significant positive correlations between activation-associated cell surface receptors and cytotoxic capacity in NK cells from tissues such as the liver and bone marrow.Conclusion: These findings underscore the differential effector capacities of NK cells from distinct tissues, even prior to exposure to LL/2 tumor cells.

However, little is known about the signaling pathways that are involved in iPPVO-induced immune responses.Methods: In this study, we systematically analyzed how different types of dendritic cells (DCs) react to iPPVO (Zylexis, strain D1701) in both BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice by flow cytometry and ELISAs, and investigated which signaling pathway is related to DC activation by Western blotting and protein profiling.Results: We demonstrated that bone marrow-derived conventional DCs (BM-cDCs) and bone marrow-derived plasmacytoid DCs (BM-pDCs) matured and secreted type I interferons in response to Zylexis stimulation in both mouse strains. Similarly, Zylexis promoted the secretion of IL-12/23p40 and TNF by pDCs. However, IL-12/23p40 and TNF secretion by cDCs were induced in BALB/c mice but not in C57BL/6 mice. Analyzing the underlying signaling pathways revealed that iPPVO-induced maturation of cDCs was Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) independent, while the maturation of pDCs partially depended on the TLR9 pathway. Moreover, the production of proinflammatory cytokines by cDCs and the secretion of IFN-α/β by pDCs partially depended on the TLR9 pathway in both mouse strains. Therefore, other signaling pathways seem to participate in the response of DCs to iPPVO, supported by protein profiling.Conclusion: Our data provide useful insights into the diversity of iPPVO sensors and their varying effects across different strains and species.","PeriodicalId":16113,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innate Immunity","volume":" ","pages":"354-366"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11249554/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141296214","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}

Complement activation is an important function of the innate immune system. Complement activation helps the body defend against invasion by external microorganisms, whereas excessive complement activation can exacerbate tissue damage or lead to unwanted side effects. Ficolins are a class of immune-related proteins in the lectin pathway that play important roles in the body's immune defense. Although individual ficolins are not well understood, current information suggests that ficolins may play an important regulatory role in lung injury.Summary: Several studies have shown that ficolins are involved in the immune response in the lung, particularly in the response to infectious and inflammatory processes.Key messages: This review summarizes the role of ficolins in lung injury. Ficolins may influence the development and repair of lung injury by recognizing and binding pathogenic microorganisms, modulating the inflammatory response, and promoting the clearance of immune cells. In addition, ficolins are associated with the development and progression of lung diseases (such as pneumonia and ARDS) and may have an important impact on the pathophysiological processes of inflammatory diseases.","PeriodicalId":16113,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innate Immunity","volume":" ","pages":"440-450"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11521482/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142006268","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}

A 27-multiplex system was used for quantification of cytokines. Selective cell removal from whole blood and inhibition of C3, C5, and CD14 were also applied.Results: Our findings demonstrated a marked elevation in sC5b-9 and CD11b post-A. fumigatus incubation. Thirteen cytokines (TNF, IL-1β, IL-1ra, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17, IFNγ, MCP-1, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, FGF-basic, and G-CSF) showed increased levels. A generally lower level of cytokine release and CD11b expression was observed with A. fumigatus conidia than with E. coli. Notably, monocytes were instrumental in releasing all cytokines except MCP-1. IL-1ra was found to be both monocyte and granulocyte-dependent.

Additionally, we examined the expression levels of β-amyloid and apolipoprotein E (ApoE) isoforms by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results: We identified 10 key genes by machine learning techniques. Immune infiltration analysis revealed upregulation of various immune cell types in OA cartilage, underscoring the critical role of inflammation in OA pathogenesis. In the validation study, elevated serum levels of β-amyloid in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients were confirmed, showing positive correlations with ApoE2 and ApoE4.
