AUTOIMMUNITY
C/EBPδ Mediates Immunity to Renal Autoinflammatory Disorders in a Stage-specific Manner
C/EBPδ is elevated in mouse and human AGN.
IL-17–induced C/EBPδ promotes expression of renal-damaging genes.
Cebpd−/− and Il17ra−/− mice are refractory to AGN and exhibit fibrosis in renal injury.
Regulatory T Cell Insufficiency in Autoimmune Diabetes Is Driven by Selective Loss of Neuropilin-1 on Intraislet Regulatory T Cells
Intraislet Tregs have a uniquely dysfunctional phenotype compared to periphery Tregs.
Augmenting Nrp1 specifically on Tregs causes a delay or prevention of diabetes onset within the NOD model.
Transcriptional analysis showed that Nrp1+ and Nrp1− Tregs exhibit significant differences regardless of tissue site.
Mitochondrial DNA Programs Lactylation of cGAS to Induce IFN Responses in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Lactate is crucial for cytosolic mtDNA to induce IFN-I responses.
Lactate promotes lactylation of cGAS, thereby inhibiting its ubiquitination.
Targeting lactate alleviates disease development in humanized SLE chimeras.
CLINICAL AND HUMAN IMMUNOLOGY
Cloning and Functional Characterization of Novel Human Neutralizing Anti–IFN-α and Anti–IFN-β Antibodies
Neutralizing anti–IFN-α and IFN-β Abs were cloned from PBMCs.
This study identified two pairs of natural mAbs capable of neutralizing IFN-α or IFN-β.
The identified mAbs have potential usage for therapeutic strategies.
IMMUNE REGULATION
Activin A Promotes Differentiation of a Pathogenic Multicytokine IL-9-secreting CD4+ T Cell Population
IL-9-secreting T cells in chronic inflammation are polyfunctional.
Activin A promotes a polyfunctional Th cell phenotype.
Activin A–primed Th cells promote robust allergic airway inflammation.
Calcitriol Impairs the Secretion of IL-4 and IL-13 in Th2 Cells via Modulating the VDR-Gata3-Gfi1 Axis
Calcitriol suppresses IL-4 and IL-13 production in murine and human Th2 cells in vitro.
Calcitriol regulates Th2 phenotype by modulating the expression of Gata3 and Gfi1.
Ecr, key enhancer of Il4 and Il13, is essential for calcitriol-mediated regulation.
INFECTIOUS DISEASE AND HOST RESPONSE
Vaccination with O-linked Mannans Protects against Systemic Candidiasis through Innate Lymphocyte Populations
Vaccination with O-mannans induces trained immunity by innate lymphocytes.
O-mannan vaccination protects mice heterologously against C. albicans infection.
Trained immunity by innate lymphocytes requires neutrophils for protection.
INNATE IMMUNITY AND INFLAMMATION
Inflammation and Macrophage Loss Mark Increased Susceptibility in a Genetic Model of Acute Viral Infection–Induced Tissue Damage
Neutrophils swarm Cmv5s marginal zones early and die, bringing oxidative stress.
Neutrophil clusters and spreading virus surround highly infected SIGNR1+ MZMs.
Macrophage loss mirrors spatial and temporal appearance of Cmv5s tissue damage.
Renal IL-23–Dependent Type 3 Innate Lymphoid Cells Link Crystal-induced Intrarenal Inflammasome Activation with Kidney Fibrosis
Inflammasome activation in renal mononuclear phagocytes activates profibrotic ILC3.
Inflammasome-derived IL-1β and the type 3 immunity cytokine IL-23 expand renal ILC3.
IL-23 inhibition reduced ILC3–phagocyte cross-talk and reduced kidney fibrosis.
MOLECULAR AND STRUCTURAL IMMUNOLOGY
The Structural Basis for Recognition of Human Leukocyte Antigen Class I Molecules by the Pan-HLA Antibody W6/32
The structure of W6/32 in complex with HLA-I definitively maps the epitope.
W6/32 directly blocks LILR and indirectly blocks KIR and TCR binding to HLA-I.
MUCOSAL IMMUNOLOGY
Gut Microbiota Defines Functional Direction of Colonic Regulatory T Cells with Unique TCR Repertoires
Colonic Tregs bifurcate into two functionally distinct activation trajectories.
Microbiota shifts colonic Tregs to enhanced PD-1− CXCR3+ suppressive phenotype.
Microbiota-induced IL-10high CXCR3+ Treg accumulates at the onset of inflammation.
TRANSPLANTATION
IL-10 Is Critical for Regulation of Cytotoxic CD4+NKG7+ T Cells in Lung Allograft Rejection but Is Not Required for Allograft Acceptance
CD4 T cells mediate type1 and cytotoxic immune response during lung allograft rejection.
Increased cytotoxic CD4+NKG7+ T cells in IL-10KO mice during ACR.
IL-10 regulates alloeffector CD4 T cells.
TUMOR IMMUNOLOGY
Longitudinal Intravascular Antibody Labeling Identified Regulatory T Cell Recruitment as a Therapeutic Target in a Mouse Model of Lung Cancer
IV anti-CD45.2 label lasts for 3 days and tracks leukocyte migration to tissue.
There is continuous innate and adaptive leukocyte migration in a model of lung cancer.
Blocking or preventing systemic Treg recruitment results in tumor burden reduction.
