The present study uncovers a mechanism by which cells sense the microenvironment and regulate adhesion and motility. The C-terminal of TSP-1 was found to sense cell contact, which triggered N-terminal cleavage, adhesion, and cytoplasmic spreading in T cells and platelets on ICAM-1-coated surfaces. uPA was associated with TSP-1, an inhibitor of uPA antagonized cleavage, and zymography showed that uPA cleaves TSP-1, indicating that uPA caused the contact-triggered cleavage. In adhering T cells 2D, TSP-1 induced polar cell shape independent of LRP1, while interaction with LRP1 induced migration by internalizing TSP-1. In contrast, the development of polar cell shape, as well as migration 3D, was caused by direct interaction of TSP-1 with LRP1. Unlike its enhancing effect on polarity and migration 2D, contact sensing, and hence TSP-1 cleavage, inhibited 3D migration. Polar cell shape and migration, 2D and 3D, were driven by full-length TSP-1. CXCL12, which inhibits cleavage, stimulated migration. TSP-1 was limiting for ability of T cells to develop polar cell shape and migrate.

Chronic inflammation in skeletal muscle and the central nervous system is spatially organized within defined niches that shape disease progression and therapeutic response. In skeletal muscle, spatial analyses have uncovered fiber-type-specific vulnerability, regenerative trajectories, and immune–stromal crosstalk in disorders such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy and inclusion body myositis. In the central nervous system, these approaches have revealed compartmentalized neuroinflammation in multiple sclerosis, innate immune activation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and immune evasion in glioma. Integration with single-cell gene expression enables inference of cell–cell communication networks and identification of spatial gradients of immune activation and tissue remodeling. Despite major advances, clinical translation remains limited by small cohorts, methodological variability, and insufficient functional validation. As spatial profiling becomes more accessible, standardized, and scalable, it promises to stratify inflammatory disease states, identify tissue-resident immune programs, and guide mechanism-based therapies. Hence, spatial omics provide an unprecedented opportunity to resolve the cellular architecture of inflammation, revealing not only where immune activity occurs, but how it is orchestrated within complex tissue microenvironments.</p>","PeriodicalId":165,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Immunology","volume":"55 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12723349/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145809027","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}

During T cell development in the thymus, thymocytes migrate from the cortex to the medulla to sequentially acquire non-self-reactivity and self-tolerance. This cortex-to-medulla migration is regulated by CCR7-mediated chemokine signaling. Previous studies have identified CCL21 but not CCL19 as a functional ligand for this CCR7-dependent migration. CCL21 in the mouse is encoded by multiple genes, including CCL21Ser-encoding <i>Ccl21a</i> and several CCL21Leu-encoding genes, including <i>Ccl21b</i>. The importance of <i>Ccl21a</i> in thymocyte migration has been demonstrated, whereas the role of CCL21Leu-encoding genes remains unclear. By producing mice specifically deficient in <i>Ccl21b</i>, we show that <i>Ccl21b</i> plays little to no role in the cortex-to-medulla migration of developing thymocytes. CCL21Leu-encoding gene transcripts remain detectable even in the absence of <i>Ccl21b</i>, suggesting that <i>Ccl21b</i> is not a major source of CCL21Leu. We further show that the copy number of CCL21Leu-encoding genes is smaller than the currently estimated copy number in a public database.

Over the past four decades, the CD nomenclature system, established by the Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens Workshops and endorsed by the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS), has provided a standardized naming convention for both mAbs and the cell surface molecules they target. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest family of cell-surface receptors, playing essential roles in both innate and adaptive immune responses. Despite their significance, GPCRs are underrepresented in terms of well-validated mAbs available for flow cytometry and therapeutic applications. At the Eleventh HLDA Workshop (HLDA11), new CD nomenclature has been assigned to thirteen GPCR cell-surface molecules expressed on immune cells: CD198 (CCR8), CD199 (CCR9), CD372 (CCR10), CD373 (CX3CR1), CD374 (XCR1), CD375 (GPR15), CDw376 (GPR26), CD377 (SSTR3), CD378 (C3AR1), CDw379 (FPR2), CD380 (LTB4R), CDw381 (GPR183), and CDw382 (F2RL1). In this article, we introduce the newly established CD nomenclature for mAbs targeting the GPCR family.

This study investigates the immunomodulatory effects of staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) on monocytes and their differentiation into monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC) or macrophages (MDM). Transcriptomic analyses of human monocytes via RNA sequencing revealed SEA-induced enrichment of gene pathways associated with inflammation, infection, and dermatitis, effects that were amplified in the presence of T cells. Phenotypic and functional characterization showed that SEA-primed monocytes differentiated into MDM with an altered polarization, deviating from classical M1/M2 pathways. SEA-primed MDM exhibited downregulation of key markers, including HLA-DR, CD80, CD86, and PD-L1. Functional assays demonstrated that SEA-primed MDM pushed hyperinflammatory T-cell responses, with significantly enhanced proliferation and IFN-γ secretion. In contrast, following SEA-priming, moDC retained robust antigen-presenting capabilities and displayed enhanced expression of molecules involved in T-cell interactions. These findings provide mechanistic insights into SEA-mediated immune modulation, illustrating how SEA reprograms MDM functions and amplifies proinflammatory T-cell responses.

These processes have been studied in rodent models via IgE or allergen sensitization, which replicate essential aspects of human allergic responses. Because allergic diseases exhibit diverse clinical manifestations, varying in phenotype, allergen specificity, immune response, and pathophysiological mechanisms, it is essential to employ a variety of models to comprehensively address distinct aspects of allergic responses and mechanisms. Allergic responses in mouse models can vary depending on factors such as experimental condition and murine strain, and these variations influence the ability of the model to reflect manifestations of human disease. This review aimed to summarize the characteristics of various murine allergy models, primarily focusing on wild-type strains, highlighting the impact of sensitization strategy, administration route, and murine strain on allergic disease outcomes.
