Dysregulation of Inflammasome Priming and Activation by MicroRNAs in Human Immune-Mediated Diseases
CUTTING EDGE
CLINICAL AND HUMAN IMMUNOLOGY
Autoantibodies against Neurologic Antigens in Nonneurologic Autoimmunity
Biased N-Glycosylation Site Distribution and Acquisition across the Antibody V Region during B Cell Maturation
The Ab repertoire is diversified through the acquisition of N-glycosylation sites.
Frequencies of V region N-glycosylation sites are isotype and subclass dependent.
Elevated Fab glycosylation is an additional hallmark of TH2-like IgG4/IgE responses.
IMMUNE REGULATION
Bach2 Controls T Follicular Helper Cells by Direct Repression of Bcl-6
Circulating Truncated Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Glycoprotein in Patient Plasma Retains Anti-Inflammatory Capacity
Nonreceptor Tyrosine Kinase c-Abl– and Arg-Mediated IRF3 Phosphorylation Regulates Innate Immune Responses by Promoting Type I IFN Production
IRF3 is phosphorylated by Abl kinase family.
c-Abl and Arg regulate innate immunity by promoting type I IFN production.
AIM2 inflammasome activation during Ft LVS infection is prompted by Abl kinase.
Hepatitis B Virus–Induced Imbalance of Inflammatory and Antiviral Signaling by Differential Phosphorylation of STAT1 in Human Monocytes
IMMUNE SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
The Protein Phosphatase Shp1 Regulates Invariant NKT Cell Effector Differentiation Independently of TCR and Slam Signaling
Shp1-deficient iNKT cells are biased toward the iNKT2/17 subsets.
Shp1 deficiency does not alter TCR or Slam signaling.
Shp1 dampens iNKT cell proliferation in response to cytokines.
NKAP Must Associate with HDAC3 to Regulate Hematopoietic Stem Cell Maintenance and Survival
NKAP Y352 is required for association with HDAC3.
The interaction between NKAP and HDAC3 is critical for its function in HSCs.
The interaction between NKAP and HDAC3 is unimportant in some cell types.
Sostdc1 Regulates NK Cell Maturation and Cytotoxicity
Sostdc1 influences tNK to mNK cell differentiation and the Ly49 receptor repertoire.
NK cells in Sostdc1−/− mice display impaired ability to kill β2m−/− target cells.
Sostdc1 expression in stromal and hematopoietic cells regulates NK cells.
IMMUNOTHERAPY AND VACCINES
Enhancing Antigen Cross-Presentation in Human Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells by Recruiting the Intracellular Fc Receptor TRIM21
We engineered the Fc of human IgG to increase its affinity for TRIM21 by 100-fold.
The engineered Fc enhances cross-presentation in monocyte-derived dendritic cells.
Our finding may be applied to vaccine design to boost CD8 T cell–based immunity.
INFECTIOUS DISEASE AND HOST RESPONSE
Respiratory Enterovirus (like Parainfluenza Virus) Can Cause Chronic Lung Disease if Protection by Airway Epithelial STAT1 Is Lost
Mycobacterium tuberculosis Inhibits Autocrine Type I IFN Signaling to Increase Intracellular Survival
IFN-β promotes host resistance to M. tuberculosis via induction of NO production.
Capacity to inhibit IFN-β signaling correlates with mycobacterial virulence.
M. tuberculosis limits activation of receptor-associated tyrosine kinases TYK2 and JAK1.
INNATE IMMUNITY AND INFLAMMATION
TLR4 Receptor Induces 2-AG–Dependent Tolerance to Lipopolysaccharide and Trafficking of CB2 Receptor in Mast Cells
Online Hemodiafiltration Inhibits Inflammation-Related Endothelial Dysfunction and Vascular Calcification of Uremic Patients Modulating miR-223 Expression in Plasma Extracellular Vesicles
The Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Mal-D96N Mice Provide New Insights into Functionality of Mal in TLR Immune Responses
USP20 Promotes Cellular Antiviral Responses via Deconjugating K48-Linked Ubiquitination of MITA
Knockout of USP20 inhibits HSV-1– but not Sendai virus–triggered signaling.
USP20-deficient mice exhibit increased susceptibility to HSV-1 infection.
USP20 deconjugates K48-linked polyubiquitin chains from and thereby stabilizes MITA.
FTRCA1, a Species-Specific Member of finTRIM Family, Negatively Regulates Fish IFN Response through Autophage-Lysosomal Degradation of TBK1
FTRCA1 is a crucian carp–specific member of finTRIM.
FTRCA1 downregulates fish IFN response through lysosomal degradation of TBK1.
The E3 ligase activity is likely required for FTRCA1 function on TBK1 degradation.
TLR-Induced IL-12 and CCL2 Production by Myeloid Cells Is Dependent on Adenosine A3 Receptor–Mediated Signaling
Vibrio cholerae OmpU Mediates CD36-Dependent Reactive Oxygen Species Generation Triggering an Additional Pathway of MAPK Activation in Macrophages
Loss of Antigen Presentation in Adipose Tissue Macrophages or in Adipocytes, but Not Both, Improves Glucose Metabolism
Loss of adipocyte and macrophage H2Ab1 leads to no change in metabolic phenotype.
Specific loss of macrophage H2Ab1 leads to improvements in glucose tolerance.
Adipocytes on HFD express LysM and are targeted by the LysMCre model.
MOLECULAR AND STRUCTURAL IMMUNOLOGY
Notch Signaling Controls Transcription via the Recruitment of RUNX1 and MYB to Enhancers during T Cell Development
Notch favors RUNX1 and MYB recruitment to activate enhancer-dependent transcription.
These results decipher the mechanism for Tcrd and Tcrg silencing during β-selection.

On the cover: Periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) and hematoxylin staining and then red colorization of computer-assigned PAS+ areas in lung sections from Foxj1-Scgb1a1-Cre-Stat1f/f mice at 49 d after respiratory infection with Sendai virus. These data show that STAT1 deficiency in lung epithelial cells promotes viral induction of chronic lung disease marked by PAS+ mucus production. Zhang, Y., D. Mao, S. P. Keeler, X. Wang, K. Wu, B. J. Gerovac, L. L. Shornick, E. V. Agapov, and M. J. Holtzman. 2019. Respiratory enterovirus (like parainfluenza virus) can cause chronic lung disease if protection by airway epithelial STAT1 is lost. J. Immunol. 202: 2332–2347.
