BRIEF REVIEWS
AUTOIMMUNITY
The Type 1 Diabetes–Associated Single Nucleotide Polymorphism rs1990760 in IFIH1 Is Associated with Increased Basal Type I IFNs and IFN-stimulated Gene Expression
Overexpression of IFIH1946T resulted in an elevated level of basal type I IFN signaling and increased basal ISG expression.
Recombinant MDA5 with the rs1990760 SNP (A946T) had increased ATPase activity in vitro.
Immunometabolic Mechanisms of LANCL2 in CD4+ T Cells and Phagocytes Provide Protection from Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
LANCL2 activation induces anti-inflammatory effects in CD4+ T cells and phagocytes.
NIM-1324 activates LANCL2 to reduce proteinuria and disease severity in SLE models.
NIM-1324 reduces type I IFN and inflammatory cytokines in human PBMCs.
CLINICAL AND HUMAN IMMUNOLOGY
High-dimensional Immune Profiles and Machine Learning May Predict Acute Myeloid Leukemia Relapse Early following Transplant
Distinct T cell changes may predict AML relapse post-HSCT.
Machine learning may predict AML relapse before disease reoccurrence.
NK Cell and Monocyte Dysfunction in Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children
In MIS-C, monocytes were hyperactive for phagocytosis and cytokine production.
In MIS-C, NK cells were hypoactive for ADCC, and their function inversely correlated with systemic IL-6.
High affinity anti-CD16 Trispecific reagents were able to rescue NK activity and target SARS-CoV-2.
IMMUNE REGULATION
MARCH8 Mediates K27-Linked Polyubiquitination of IL-7 Receptor α to Negatively Regulate IL-7–Triggered T Cell Homeostasis
MARCH8 mediates K27-linked polyubiquitination at K265/K266 and degradation of IL-7Rα.
ΜΑRCH8 deficiency enhances IL-7–triggered CD8+ T cell expansion and differentiation.
IMMUNE SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
Developmental Vitamin D Deficiency and the Vitamin D Receptor Control Hematopoiesis
Maternal vitamin D status regulates fetal hematopoiesis and the adult immune system.
Developmental vitamin D deficiency resulted in fewer Vdr+ adult immune cells.
Functional effects of vitamin D deficiency include impaired response to infection.
INFECTIOUS DISEASE AND HOST RESPONSE
Tim-3 Is Required for Regulatory T Cell–Mediated Promotion of T Cell Exhaustion and Viral Persistence during Chronic Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus Infection
There is a transient increase in Tim-3+ Tregs during chronic LCMV infection.
Tim-3+ Tregs promote dysfunction of CD8+ T cells during chronic infection with LCMV.
Treg-specific Tim-3 deficiency promotes clearance of chronic LCMV infection.
Hepatitis B Virus Increases SphK1–S1P Synthesis by Promoting the Availability of the Transcription Factor USF1
S1P produced by SphK1 guides immune cell trafficking and activation.
SphK-S1P signaling altered in HBV-infected patients.
HBV manipulates SphK1 expression through transcription factor USF1.
INNATE IMMUNITY AND INFLAMMATION
Fth1-mScarlet Reports Monocyte State during Lipopolysaccharide-induced Lung Inflammation
We describe a novel reporter mouse with mScarlet-I knocked in to the Fth1 locus.
High Fth1-mScarlet is restricted to alveolar macrophages in the steady-state lung.
Fth1-mScarlet reports monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation in lung inflammation.
MUCOSAL IMMUNOLOGY
Microbe-binding Antibodies in the Female Genital Tract: Associations with the Vaginal Microbiome and Genital Immunology
IgA and IgG were abundant in the FGT and demonstrated ex vivo binding to vaginal bacteria.
Total and microbe-binding IgA and IgG correlate with reduced bacterial abundance in the FGT.
Likewise, IgA and IgG correlate with increased proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines.
SYSTEMS IMMUNOLOGY
In Vivo CRISPR Screening Reveals CHD7 as a Positive Regulator of Short-lived Effector Cells
In vivo CRISPR screening identifies novel epigenetic regulators of CD8+ T cells.
The chromatin remodeler CHD7 is a positive regulator of SLEC formation.
TRANSPLANTATION
Repeated CXCR4 Blockade by Plerixafor Attenuates Transplant Vasculopathy in Murine Aortic Allografts
Interruption of the CXCR4–CXCL12 axis diminished cell infiltration in aortic allograft.
Plerixafor reduced aortic luminal occlusion on day 30 after transplantation.
Pulsed plerixafor therapy attenuates chronic rejection in a mouse transplant model.
TUMOR IMMUNOLOGY
Integrins α5β1 and αvβ3 Differentially Participate in the Recruitment and Reprogramming of Tumor-associated Macrophages in the In Vitro and In Vivo Models of Breast Tumor
Ly6Chi monocytes express high α5β1 and migrate via elevated CCR2 expression.
F4/80+αv+ macrophages in the tumor are protumorigenic and show an M2 TAM phenotype.
FAK signaling is associated with integrin α5 and αv–mediated TAM polarization in vitro.
