Cytotoxic lymphocytes eliminate cancer cells through the release of lytic granules, a specialized form of secretory lysosomes. This compartment is part of the pleomorphic endolysosomal system and is distinguished by its highly dynamic Ca2+ signaling machinery. Several transient receptor potential (TRP) calcium channels play essential roles in endolysosomal Ca2+ signaling and ensure the proper function of these organelles. In this study, we examined the role of TRPML1 (TRP cation channel, mucolipin subfamily, member 1) in regulating the homeostasis of secretory lysosomes and their cross-talk with mitochondria in human NK cells...

The extreme polymorphisms of HLA class I proteins result in structural variations in their peptide binding sites to achieve diversity in Ag presentation. External factors could independently constrict or alter HLA class I peptide repertoires. Such effects of the assembly factor tapasin were assessed for HLA-B*44:05 (Y116) and a close variant, HLA-B*44:02 (D116), which have low and high tapasin dependence, respectively, for their cell surface expression. Analyses of the HLA-B*44:05 peptidomes in the presence and absence of tapasin reveal that peptides with C-terminal tryptophans and higher predicted affinities are preferentially selected by tapasin, coincident with reduced frequencies of peptides with other C-terminal amino acids, including leucine...

Ever-growing evidence has revealed that group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) exhibit pleiotropic effects in antihelminth immunity, allergy, tissue protection, and cancer. Currently, the role of ILC2s in cancer is highly controversial regarding the intricate tumor microenvironment (TME), and the tumor-promoting or antitumor immunological mechanisms of ILC2s remain largely unknown. In this study, we report that dopamine receptor 1 (DRD1) restrains ILC2 activity in the TME. DRD1 deficiency promotes ILC2 activation, which irritates eosinophil recruitment and cytotoxic CD8+ T cell expansion during ongoing malignancy...

High levels of IFN-γ are produced in the lung during an adaptive immune response to Pneumocystis, but the effects of this prototypical Th1 cytokine on fungal clearance and immunopathogenesis have not been fully defined. Therefore, Pneumocystis-infected immunodeficient mice were immune reconstituted and administered control or anti-IFN-γ neutralizing Ab to determine how IFN-γ regulates the balance between host defense and immune-mediated lung injury. Mice treated with anti-IFN-γ demonstrated an initial worsening of Pneumocystis pneumonia-related immunopathogenesis, with greater weight loss, heightened lung inflammation, and more severe pulmonary function deficits than control mice...

Gain-of-function polymorphisms in the transcription factor IFN regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) are associated with an increased risk of developing systemic lupus erythematosus. Global homozygous or heterozygous deficiency of IRF5 from birth confers protection in many lupus mouse models. However, less is known about the effects of IRF5 targeting after autoimmunity has already developed. This is an important point to clarify when considering IRF5 as a potential therapeutic target in lupus. In this study, we demonstrate that genetic reduction of IRF5 expression after disease initiation reduces disease severity in the FcγRIIB-/- Y-linked autoimmune accelerating mouse lupus model...

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) is, in many clinical settings, the only curative treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The clinical benefit of alloSCT greatly relies on the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect. However, AML relapse remains the top cause of posttransplant death; this highlights the urgent need to enhance GVL. Studies of human GVL have been hindered by the lack of optimal clinically relevant models. In this article, we report, the successful establishment of a novel (to our knowledge) humanized GVL model system by transplanting clinically paired donor PBMCs and patient AML into MHC class I/II knockout NSG mice...

Pediatric and adult autoimmune encephalitis (AE) are often associated with Abs to the NR1 subunit of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor (NMDAR). Very little is known regarding the cerebrospinal fluid humoral immune profile and Ab genetics associated with pediatric anti-NMDAR-AE. Using a combination of cellular, molecular, and immunogenetics tools, we collected cerebrospinal fluid from pediatric subjects and generated 1) flow cytometry data to calculate the frequency of B cell subtypes in the cerebrospinal fluid of pediatric subjects with anti-NMDAR-AE and controls, 2) a panel of recombinant human Abs from a pediatric case of anti-NMDAR-AE that was refractory to treatment, and 3) a detailed analysis of the Ab genes that bound the NR1 subunit of the NMDAR...

Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B (SEB), one of the most common bacterial toxins in food contamination, has been poorly understood in relationship to food allergy outcomes. To investigate whether the ingestion of enterotoxins in food allergens could affect the development of food allergy, OVA-sensitized female BALB/c mice were challenged with OVA added with different doses of SEB or LPS. Allergic symptoms, such as diarrhea rate and hypothermia, could be aggravated in mice challenged with OVA and a low dose of SEB...

IFN-γ-producing invariant NKT (iNKT)1 cells are lipid-reactive innate-like lymphocytes that are resident in the thymus and peripheral tissues where they protect against pathogenic infection. The thymic functions of iNKT1 cells are not fully elucidated, but subsets of thymic iNKT cells modulate CD8 T cell, dendritic cell, B cell, and thymic epithelial cell numbers or function. In this study, we show that a subset of murine thymic iNKT1 cells required TGF-β-induced signals for their postselection development, to maintain hallmark TGF-β-induced genes, and for expression of the adhesion receptors CD49a and CD103...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell-wall glycolipids such as mannosylated lipoarabinomannan (ManLAM) can inhibit murine CD4+ T cells by blocking TCR signaling. This results in suppression of IL-2 production, reduced T cell proliferation, and induction of CD4+ T cell anergy. This study extended these findings to the interaction between primary human CD4+ T cells and macrophages infected by mycobacteria. Exposure of human CD4+ T cells to ManLAM before activation resulted in loss of polyfunctionality, as measured by IL-2, IFN-γ, and TNF-α expression, and reduced CD25 expression...

A better understanding of the regulatory mechanisms governing the development of memory CD8+ T cells could provide instructive insights into vaccination strategies and T cell-based immunotherapies. In this article, we showed that CD160 surface protein is required for CD8+ T cell memory formation. In the response to acute lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection in a mouse model, CD160 ablation resulted in the failure of the development of all three memory CD8+ T cell subsets (central, effective, and tissue-resident memory), concomitant with a skewed differentiation into short-lived effector T cells...

Activation of the mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS) adaptor, also known as IPS-1, VISA, or Cardif, is crucial for antiviral immunity in retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptor signaling. Upon interacting with RIG-I, MAVS undergoes K63-linked polyubiquitination by the E3 ligase Trim31, and subsequently aggregates to activate downstream signaling effectors. However, the molecular mechanisms that modulate MAVS activation are not yet fully understood. In this study, the mitochondrial solute carrier SLC25A23 was found to attenuate type I IFN antiviral immunity using genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screening...

B cell-targeted therapies are effective for treating multiple different kidney diseases in humans and also protect mice from Adriamycin nephropathy. Because glomerular IgM is frequently seen in both humans and mice with "nonimmune" forms of glomerular disease, we hypothesized that natural IgM binds to epitopes displayed in the injured glomerulus, exacerbating injury. To test this hypothesis, we induced Adriamycin nephropathy in BALB/C mice that cannot secrete soluble IgM (sIgM-/- mice) and compared them with BALB/C controls...

Intestinal inflammatory diseases affect millions of people worldwide, and one class of drugs showing promise toward treatment of several inflammatory diseases is probiotics. Numerous studies have been performed using probiotics to prevent and treat intestinal inflammatory diseases. Most of these studies used intact bacteria, and neither the active molecule nor the molecular mechanisms by which they affect immune responses are known. We have shown that the probiotic Bacillus subtilis is anti-inflammatory and can protect mice from acute colitis induced by the enteric pathogen Citrobacter rodentium...

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune bullous skin disease of humans and is characterized by eosinophilic inflammation and circulating and tissue-bound IgG and IgE autoantibodies directed against two hemidesmosomal proteins: BP180 and BP230. The noncollagenous 16A domain (NC16A) of BP180 has been found to contain major epitopes recognized by autoantibodies in BP. We recently established the pathogenicity of anti-NC16A IgE through passive transfer of patient-derived autoantibodies to double-humanized mice that express the human high-affinity IgE receptor, FcεRI, and human NC16A domain (FcεRI/NC16A)...

T cells are implicated in the pathophysiology of preterm labor and birth, the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Specifically, maternal decidual T cells infiltrate the chorioamniotic membranes in chronic chorioamnionitis (CCA), a placental lesion considered to reflect maternal anti-fetal rejection, leading to preterm labor and birth. However, the phenotype and TCR repertoire of decidual T cells in women with preterm labor and CCA have not been investigated. In this study, we used phenotyping, TCR sequencing, and functional assays to elucidate the molecular characteristics and Ag specificity of T cells infiltrating the chorioamniotic membranes in women with CCA who underwent term or preterm labor...

The induction of CTL responses by vaccines is important to combat infectious diseases and cancer. Biodegradable poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres and synthetic long peptides are efficiently internalized by professional APCs and prime CTL responses after cross-presentation of Ags on MHC class I molecules. Specifically, they mainly use the cytosolic pathway of cross-presentation that requires endosomal escape, proteasomal processing, and subsequent MHC class I loading of Ags in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and/or the endosome...

The gut microbiome is an important modulator of the host immune system. In this study, we found that altering the gut microbiome by oral vancomycin increases liver invariant NKT (iNKT) cell function. Enhanced iNKT cytokine production and activation marker expression were observed in vancomycin-treated mice following both Ag-specific and Ag-independent in vivo iNKT stimulations, with a more prominent effect in the liver than in the spleen. Fecal transplantation studies demonstrated that the iNKT functional regulation is mediated by altering the gut microbiome but uncoupled from the modulation of iNKT cell population size...

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) involves multiple organs, but little is known about bone marrow (BM) alterations caused by cGVHD. In mice and humans, we found that cGVHD is associated with BM fibrosis resulting in T cell infiltration, IgG deposition, and hematopoietic dysfunction. Macrophages and Nestin+ mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) participated in the process of BM fibrosis during BM cGVHD development. BM macrophage numbers were significantly increased in mice and humans with BM fibrosis associated with cGVHD...
