Successful control of pneumococci requires robust pulmonary neutrophil influx early in infection. However, aging is associated with aberrant neutrophil recruitment and the mechanisms behind that are not understood. Here we explored how neutrophil recruitment following pneumococcal infection changes with age and the host pathways regulating this. Following pneumococcal infection there was a significant delay in early neutrophil recruitment to the lungs of aged mice. Neutrophils from aged mice showed defects in trans-endothelial migration in vitro compared to young controls. To understand the pathways involved, we examined immune modulatory extracellular adenosine (EAD) signaling, that is activated upon cellular damage. Signaling through the lower affinity A2A and A2B adenosine receptors had no effect on neutrophil recruitment to infected lungs. In contrast, inhibition of the high affinity A1 receptor in young mice blunted neutrophil recruitment to the lungs following infection. A1 receptor inhibition decreased expression of CXCR2 on circulating neutrophils, which is required for trans-endothelial migration. Indeed, A1 receptor signaling on neutrophils was required for their ability to migrate across endothelial cells in response to infection. Aging was not associated with defects in EAD production or receptor expression on neutrophils. However, agonism of A1 receptor in aged mice rescued the early defect in neutrophil migration to the lungs and improved control of bacterial burden. This study suggests age-driven defects in EAD damage signaling can be targeted to rescue the delay in pulmonary neutrophil migration in response to bacterial pneumonia.","PeriodicalId":51289,"journal":{"name":"Immunity & Ageing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141255244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The variation in AMD prevalence among different racial groups and highlighted role of inflammation on disease pathology from previous studies which yielded in inconsistent findings, It seems to be of great importance to do more investigation in this field. This case control study involved 204 participants, divided into four groups of equal size (51 individuals per group). Three groups represented AMD cases of varying severity according to Beckman classification (3 groups) and one healthy control group. Sampling was conducted exhaustively until the desired sample size was reached. The control group comprised healthy individuals without any infectious or inflammatory systemic, ophthalmic disease. Blood samples were collected to measure inflammatory factors, including lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and C-reactive protein (CRP). Collected data were analyzed by statistical methods in SPSS version 21. Of the participants, 51% were women, and their ages ranged from 47 to 89 years (62.2 ± 8). According to multiple logistic regression analysis, age exhibited a statistically significant positive association with AMD severity (P = 0.038, odds ratio [OR] = 1.034). ANOVA results indicated a significant association between neutrophil count and AMD severity (P < 0.001). As the disease severity increased, the number of neutrophils decreased. The mean ± SD neutrophil counts for early, intermediate and advanced AMD were 3849 ± 800, 3702 ± 734, and 3342 ± 823, respectively. No statistically significant associations were found between lymphocyte count, monocyte count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, CRP, and AMD. There was a significant relationship between the number of neutrophils in peripheral blood and the severity of AMD in study participants which needs more evaluation for the potential utility of this factor in the prognosis of AMD. There was not any significant relationship among the other factors and AMD.","PeriodicalId":51289,"journal":{"name":"Immunity & Ageing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141255316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is well-known that atherosclerosis prevalence and manifestation vary by sex. However, sexual dimorphism in the immune landscape of atherosclerotic plaques has up to date not been studied at high-resolution. In this study, we investigated sex-specific differences in atherosclerosis development and the immunological landscape of aortas at single-cell level in aged Ldlr−/− mice. We compared plaque morphology between aged male and female chow diet-fed Ldlr−/− mice (22 months old) with histological analysis. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing and flow cytometry on CD45+ immune cells from aortas of aged Ldlr−/− mice, we explored the immune landscape in the atherosclerotic environment in males and females. We show that plaque volume is comparable in aged male and female mice, and that plaques in aged female mice contain more collagen and cholesterol crystals, but less necrotic core and macrophage content compared to males. We reveal increased immune cell infiltration in female aortas and found that expression of pro-atherogenic markers and inflammatory signaling pathways was enriched in plaque immune cells of female mice. Particularly, female aortas show enhanced activation of B cells (Egr1, Cd83, Cd180), including age-associated B cells, in addition to an increased M1/M2 macrophage ratio, where Il1b+ M1-like macrophages display a more pro-inflammatory phenotype (Nlrp3, Cxcl2, Mmp9) compared to males. In contrast, increased numbers of age-associated Gzmk+CD8+ T cells, dendritic cells, and Trem2+ macrophages were observed in male aortas.
