This study investigates the microbiome as a potential factor underlying the apparent differences in immune stimulation required for HLH induction in perforin-deficient mice compared to FHL-2 patients. Using PKO-Wildlings, we show that while immune activation by natural microbiota is not sufficient to induce HLH, it can influence manifestations of LCMV-induced disease. ABSTRACT Primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis … Read more

Neural Crest‐Derived Mesenchymal Cells Support Thymic Reconstitution After Lethal Irradiation. [[{“value”:”Doris Narki Tetteh, Kana Isono, Mari Hikosaka‐Kuniishi, Hidetoshi Yamazaki”}]]

Thymic NC-derived mesenchymal cells produce factors, including Flt3L and Periostin, after irradiation. Depletion of NC-derived mesenchyme reduces these factors, decreases the abundance of ETPs, and impairs thymic reconstitution postirradiation. The addition of Flt3L and Periostin after NC-derived mesenchyme depletion restores reconstitution, highlighting the importance of NC-derived mesenchyme in thymus regeneration. ABSTRACT Reconstitution of the thymus … Read more

Multimodal single-cell RNA sequencing identified a population of CD8+ T cells elevated in tumor tissue enriched for interferon-stimulated genes (ISG). These ISG cells are clonally related to a population of Granzyme K (GZMK)-expressing CD8+ T cells. However, unlike GZMK-expressing T cells, ISG cells were transcriptionally inert in response to in vitro stimulation. Created in BioRender.com … Read more

B Cells With Complementary B Cell Receptors Can Kill Each Other. [[{“value”:”Ramakrishna Prabhu Gopalakrishnan, Marius Sigurdsson Østrøm, Frode Miltzow Skjeldal, Oddmund Bakke, Bjarne Bogen, Peter Csaba Huszthy”}]]

Depending on whether the interactions occur in vitro or in vivo, physical binding between two B cells with complementary BCRs leads to distinct outcomes for the participating cells. In vitro, both the Id+ B cell and the complementary anti-idiotypic B cell undergo apoptosis. In vivo, follicular αId B cells expand, whereas marginal zone Id+ B … Read more

• Aging leads to chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction, heightening the risk of myeloid malignancies like MDS and CMML. • Both aging and MDS show alterations in monocyte subtypes and function. Aging boosts inflammatory genes upregulation, whereas MDS favors antigen presentation, reflecting distinct immune and disease-specific adaptations. • MDS shows reduced inflammatory activity in CD14+ … Read more

Rise of a CD27− IgD− CD11c+ B cells population in kidney recipients achieving long‐term graft stability under immunosuppression. [[{“value”:”François Brinas, Nicolas Sailliet, Gaëlle Tilly, Laurence Delbos, Clarisse Kerleau, Magali Giral, Nicolas Degauque, Sophie Brouard, Richard Danger”}]]

We performed a comprehensive blood phenotyping in 24 kidney-transplanted patients and 10 healthy volunteers. Among numerous immune cell subsets, mainly differences in B-cell populations were highlighted, with an increase of CD11c+ memory B cells in blood from kidney transplanted patients with long-term posttransplantation time. Abstract The use of immunosuppressive treatment is required to prevent rejection … Read more

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Participate in the Pathogenesis of Lupus Through S100A10‐Mediated Regulatory T‐Cell Differentiation and Functional Abnormalities.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) contribute to SLE development, yet their interaction with Regulatory T cells (Tregs) remains obscure. This study reveals that selectively enhanced NETs in mice suppress Treg production and function. Through modulating naive CD4+ T cells via TLR4, NETs inhibit Treg differentiation, bridging innate and adaptive immune responses. ABSTRACT In systemic lupus erythematosus … Read more

Circulating levels of endogenous complement inhibitors correlate inversely with complement consumption in systemic lupus erythematosus. [[{“value”:”Stef van der Meulen, Rory C. Monahan, Kyra A.

Complement activation is a distinct feature of (neuropsychiatric) systemic lupus erythematosus. However, little is known about complement regulation by endogenous soluble complement inhibitors. We show differences in serum levels between (NP)SLE patients and healthy controls, but regulator levels are not discriminative between NPSLE and SLE. Created with Biorender.com.

Correct stimulation of CD28H arms NK cells against tumor cells. [[{“value”:”Raphaëlle Leau, Pierre Duplouye, Virginie Huchet, Véronique Nerrière‐Daguin, Bernard Martinet, Mélanie Néel, Martin Morin, Richard Danger, Cécile Braudeau, Régis Josien, Gilles Blancho, Fabienne Haspot”}]]

Targeting CD28H with a properly selected antibody activates NK cells by increasing their cytotoxicity and overcoming inhibitory signals. ScRNA-seq analysis of ccRCC shows that CD28H+ NK cells infiltrate HHLA2+ tumors and could be effectively targeted by this antibody thus offering a promising approach for enhancing antitumor responses. Abstract Tumor evasion has recently been associated with … Read more

Here, we studied the impact of myeloid cell depletion on atherosclerosis in Apoe − /− mice using a Macrophage Fas-induced apoptosis (MaFIA) mouse model. MaFIA mice carry an inducible apoptosis gene under the control of the Csf1r promotor, enabling specific and transient depletion of Csf1r-expressing cells. Upon systemic induction of apoptosis, plaque macrophage and smooth … Read more
