Objective

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a heterogeneous group of systemic autoimmune disorders affecting skeletal muscles but also other organs. There are different forms of IIM, each with peculiar clinical manifestations and prognosis. Accordingly, several autoantibodies have been described in IIM, with different prevalence in the different forms of the disease. The etiopathogenesis of IIM is still unclear, although environmental agents play certainly a role to trigger disease development in genetically predisposed individuals. Supporting this notion, some reports suggest that the incidence of IIM may be different throughout the year. In this work, we tested if the detection of autoantibodies typically observed in IIM has a seasonal pattern.

Methods

We collected serological data from line immunoassays (LIA) performed on 4277 patients with suspected IIM from January 2018 to December 2020 in ten Italian hospitals. Myositis-specific and myositis-associated autoantibodies were evaluated by line-immunoassay.

Results

Our findings demonstrate that absolute numbers of anti-MDA5, anti-PM-Scl75, anti-Mi2b and anti-TIF1ɣ autoantibodies are more frequently detected in autumn-winter than in spring-summer. However, only anti-PM-Scl75 and anti-MDA5 display a similar pattern when analyzing frequencies of positive tests (for anti-PM-Scl75 100 positive tests and 2107 negative tests from September to February; 55 positive tests and 1903 negative tests from March to August, p = 0.003; for anti-MDA5 34 positive tests and 1983 negative tests from September to February; 17 positive tests and 1760 negative tests from March to August, p = 0.051).

Conclusions

These findings suggests that triggering agents promoting the development of these autoantibodies have a specific seasonal pattern.
目的:特发性炎症性肌病(IIM)是一组异质性的全身性自身免疫性疾病,不仅影响骨骼肌,还影响其他器官。特发性炎症性肌病有多种形式,每种形式都有独特的临床表现和预后。因此,在 IIM 中出现了几种自身抗体,不同形式的疾病有不同的发病率。虽然环境因素在易感基因个体的发病中肯定起到了诱发作用,但 IIM 的发病机制仍不清楚。支持这一观点的一些报道表明,IIM 的发病率在一年四季中可能有所不同。在这项工作中,我们测试了在 IIM 中通常观察到的自身抗体的检测是否具有季节性:我们收集了 2018 年 1 月至 2020 年 12 月期间意大利十家医院对 4277 名疑似 IIM 患者进行的线性免疫测定(LIA)的血清学数据。结果:我们的研究结果表明,肌炎特异性抗体和肌炎相关自身抗体的绝对数量与肌炎的发病率成正比:我们的研究结果表明,抗MDA5、抗PM-Scl75、抗Mi2b和抗TIF1ɣ自身抗体的绝对数量在秋冬季比春夏季更容易检测到。然而,在分析阳性检测频率时,只有抗PM-Scl75和抗MDA5显示出相似的模式(抗PM-Scl75在9月至2月期间有100例阳性检测和2107例阴性检测;在3月至8月期间有55例阳性检测和1903例阴性检测,p=0.003;抗MDA5在9月至2月期间有34例阳性检测和1983例阴性检测;在3月至8月期间有17例阳性检测和1760例阴性检测,p=0.051):这些发现表明,促进这些自身抗体产生的诱因具有特定的季节性。

Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is a receptor that inhibits the activity of T cells. The CTLA-4 gene consists of four different exons that enable four different isoforms of CTLA-4 to be generated through alternative splicing. Although sCTLA-4 might impede the therapeutic effect of anti-CTLA-4 treatments, the role of sCTLA-4 in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is not well understood. Here, we provide novel perspectives on the inhibitory characteristics of sCTLA-4 in TME.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by B cell dysregulation and expansion of atypical B cells that may correlate with disease manifestations and activity. This study investigated the impact of subcutaneous (sc) Belimumab (BLM) on the peripheral B cell compartment and on the functional properties of CD21low, T-bet+ and CD11c+ atypical B cells, in 21 active SLE patients over a 12-month period. At baseline, active SLE patients displayed reduced unswitched IgM memory B cells and expansion of atypical B cells, compared to healthy donors and to SLE patients in remission. sc BLM therapy promptly restored B cell homeostasis with a reduction of T-bet+ B cells, observed early in patients responsive to therapy. These findings highlight the pathogenic role of T-bet+ B cells in SLE disease and suggest their potential utility as biomarker of clinical response.

Objective

The function and mechanism of NOD-like receptor family CARD-containing 3 (NLRC3) in psoriasis are not yet reported, even though it plays a crucial role in innate and adaptive immunity by inhibiting inflammation. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the role and mechanism of NLRC3 in psoriasis.

Methods

HaCaT cells were induced to form a psoriasis cell model using 20 ng/mL IL-1β, 20 ng/mL IL-17A, 20 ng/mL IL-23, 50 ng/mL TNF-α, and 20 ng/mL oncostatin M. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry were assessed to determine the proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis of HaCaT cells. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was utilized to measure the knockdown efficiency of NLRC3 and TRAF6 interfering RNA in HaCaT cells. Western blot analysis was performed to determine the expression levels of NLRC3, TRAF6, and proteins associated with the NF-κB signaling pathway. A mouse model of psoriasis-like dermatitis was established by evenly applying miquimod cream (62.5 mg/day) to both ears. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to measure ear thickness and inflammatory infiltrates in mice. Histological analysis, immunohistochemistry, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL were performed to detect cell proliferation and apoptosis. Interactions between NLRC3 and TRAF6 were predicted using the STRING database (https://cn.string-db.org/). Co-Immunoprecipitation was used to confirm interactions between NLRC3 and TRAF6. Ubiquitination of TRAF6 was assessed by Western blot.

Results

Knockdown of NLRC3 expression promoted cell proliferation and inhibited cell apoptosis in HaCaT cells. In vivo, knockdown of NLRC3 expression significantly increased the infiltration of inflammatory cells and the proliferation of Ki-67 positive cells within mouse ear epidermis, while decreasing the number of apoptotic cells. NLRC3 interacted with TRAF6 and influenced its K63 ubiquitination level. Knockdown of TRAF6 expression resulted in increased cell proliferation and decreased cell apoptosis in HaCaT cells. In vivo, knockdown of TRAF6 expression led to a significant increase in inflammatory cell infiltration and Ki-67 positive cells in mouse ear epidermis, and a decrease in apoptotic cells. Inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway alleviated the progression of psoriasis, and interfering with TRAF6 activated the NF-κB signaling axis, contributing to the onset and advancement of psoriasis.

Conclusion

NLRC3 affects the occurrence of psoriasis by regulating TRAF6 and influencing the NF-κB signaling axis-mediated inflammatory response. This finding offers a theoretical foundation for the treatment of psoriasis.
目的:nod样受体家族CARD-containing 3 (NLRC3)在银屑病中的作用和机制尚未报道,尽管它通过抑制炎症在先天免疫和适应性免疫中发挥重要作用。因此,本研究旨在探讨NLRC3在银屑病中的作用及机制。方法:用20 ng/mL IL-1β、20 ng/mL IL-17A、20 ng/mL IL-23、50 ng/mL TNF-α、20 ng/mL oncostatin m诱导HaCaT细胞形成银屑病细胞模型,采用细胞计数试剂盒-8 (CCK-8)法和流式细胞术检测HaCaT细胞的增殖、细胞周期和凋亡情况。采用逆转录-定量聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)检测HaCaT细胞中NLRC3和TRAF6干扰RNA的敲除效率。Western blot检测NLRC3、TRAF6及NF-κB信号通路相关蛋白的表达水平。采用双耳均匀涂抹米喹莫特乳膏(62.5 mg/d)建立牛皮癣样皮炎小鼠模型。苏木精-伊红染色法测定小鼠耳壁厚度及炎症浸润情况。采用组织学分析、免疫组织化学和末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶dUTP缺口末端标记(TUNEL)检测细胞增殖和凋亡情况。使用STRING数据库(https://cn.string-db.org/)预测NLRC3和TRAF6之间的相互作用。采用共免疫沉淀法确认NLRC3和TRAF6之间的相互作用。Western blot检测TRAF6的泛素化程度。结果:敲低NLRC3表达可促进HaCaT细胞增殖,抑制细胞凋亡。在体内,敲低NLRC3表达可显著增加小鼠耳表皮内炎症细胞的浸润和Ki-67阳性细胞的增殖,同时减少凋亡细胞的数量。NLRC3与TRAF6相互作用,影响其K63泛素化水平。敲低TRAF6表达导致HaCaT细胞增殖增加,细胞凋亡减少。在体内,敲低TRAF6表达导致小鼠耳表皮炎症细胞浸润和Ki-67阳性细胞显著增加,凋亡细胞减少。抑制NF-κB信号通路可缓解银屑病的进展,干扰TRAF6激活NF-κB信号轴,参与银屑病的发病和进展。结论:NLRC3通过调节TRAF6,影响NF-κB信号轴介导的炎症反应,影响银屑病的发生。这一发现为银屑病的治疗提供了理论基础。

Objective

To elucidate the relationship between leukocyte-associated Ig-like receptor-1 (LAIR-1) and the pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease (KD) and coronary artery aneurysms(CAA).

Methods

The study cohort comprises children who were diagnosed with KD and were categorized into two groups: KD patients with CAA (KD-CAA) and KD without CAA (KD-NCAA), with healthy children serving as control group (HC). LAIR-1 on leukocytes was examined via flow cytometry, while serum LAIR-1 (sLAIR-1) was quantified using ELISA. IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-17A, IFN-α, IFN-γ and TNF-α were examined by Immunofluorescence assay.

Results

sLAIR-1 levels were elevated in the KD and KD-CAA groups compared with those in the HC and KD-NCAA groups (P < 0.05). sLAIR-1 exhibited an area under the curve value of 0.858 for predicting KD (P < 0.001) and 0.628 for predicting CAA (P = 0.055, borderline significance). LAIR-1 was increased on the neutrophils in KD group, whereas it was lower in KD-CAA than that in KD-NCAA, and decreased in KD after IVIG treatment. In contrast, LAIR-1 was reduced on CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocyte in KD group, and increased in KD after IVIG treatment (all P < 0.05). LAIR-1 on neutrophils showed a positive correlation with IL-5, while on CD4+ T cells, it was negatively correlated with IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ, and IL-8. On CD8+ T cells, LAIR-1 was negatively correlated with IL-2 and IFN-γ.

Conclusion

sLAIR-1 may serve as a potential biomarker for KD and CAAs, while LAIR-1 might be implicated in KD pathogenesis and CAA.
目的阐明白细胞相关 Ig 样受体-1(LAIR-1)与川崎病(KD)和冠状动脉瘤(CAA)发病机制的关系:研究对象包括确诊为KD的儿童,分为两组:方法:研究对象包括确诊为 KD 的儿童,分为两组:伴有 CAA 的 KD 患者(KD-CAA)和不伴有 CAA 的 KD 患者(KD-NCAA),健康儿童为对照组(HC)。白细胞上的 LAIR-1 通过流式细胞术进行检测,血清 LAIR-1 (sLAIR-1)通过 ELISA 进行定量。结果:与 HC 组和 KD-NCAA 组相比,KD 组和 KD-CAA 组的 sLAIR-1 水平升高(P < 0.sLAIR-1 预测 KD 的曲线下面积值为 1(P < 0.001),预测 CAA 的曲线下面积值为 1(P = 0.055,边缘显著性)。KD组中性粒细胞的LAIR-1增高,而KD-CAA组的LAIR-1低于KD-NCAA组,KD组在接受IVIG治疗后LAIR-1降低。相反,KD组CD4+和CD8+T淋巴细胞上的LAIR-1减少,而KD组经IVIG治疗后LAIR-1增加(均P<0.05)。中性粒细胞上的 LAIR-1 与 IL-5 呈正相关,而 CD4+ T 细胞上的 LAIR-1 与 IL-2、IL-6、IL-10、IFN-γ 和 IL-8 呈负相关。结论:sLAIR-1可作为KD和CAA的潜在生物标记物,而LAIR-1可能与KD发病机制和CAA有关。

We here explore adverse events following immunization (AEFI) in children with mitochondrial disease (MD) recruited from two expertise centers in Austria (SALK) and The Netherlands (RUMC). Parents completed a questionnaire on the type of immunizations received and AEFI in a post-vaccination exposure period of seven days.
95 individuals were invited to this study, of whom 30 (median age 13.4 years) participated. Together these individuals had received 376 immunizations with a median of 12 vaccinations each. In 316 of 376 (84 %) vaccinations no AEFI occurred, 22 patients (73 %) never experienced any AEFI. Eight patients experienced 76 AEFI after 60 vaccinations, these were mild (redness (n = 9) /pain at injection site (n = 21), fever (n = 44), gastrointestinal complaints (n = 2)). None had a metabolic deterioration or seizures, no patient was admitted to the hospital.
Although our data is limited by the small sample size, this may aid in discussing responsible immunization decisions with parents.
我们在此探讨从奥地利(SALK)和荷兰(RUMC)两家专业中心招募的线粒体疾病(MD)患儿的免疫接种后不良事件(AEFI)。家长们填写了一份调查问卷,内容涉及所接受的免疫接种类型以及接种后七天内的AEFI情况。这项研究邀请了 95 人参加,其中 30 人(中位数年龄为 13.4 岁)参加了研究。这些人共接受了 376 次免疫接种,每次接种的中位数为 12 次。在 376 次接种中,有 316 次(84%)没有发生 AEFI,有 22 名患者(73%)从未发生过 AEFI。8 名患者在接种 60 次疫苗后出现了 76 例 AEFI,症状轻微(注射部位发红(9 例)/疼痛(21 例)、发烧(44 例)、胃肠不适(2 例))。没有人出现新陈代谢恶化或癫痫发作,也没有人入院治疗。虽然我们的数据因样本量较小而受到限制,但这可能有助于与家长讨论负责任的免疫接种决定。

The collectins are soluble C-type lectins and a group of proteins characterized with common structural features: a collagen-like domain and a carbohydrate-binding domain. These proteins are essential components of the innate immune system, pivotal for recognizing and eliminating pathogens to protect against infections. Over recent decades, research has significantly advanced our understanding of collectins. Beyond their fundamental role in host defense, collectins have been emerged as multifunctional proteins involved in modulating inflammatory and immune responses, facilitating the clearance of cellular debris, and even stimulating cell proliferation. These diverse roles are critical for maintaining physiological balance and hold substantial implications in various disease processes, particularly in renal diseases and transplantation. Here, we review the roles of collectins in renal diseases and transplantation focusing on four prominent members of the collectin family: mannose-binding lectin (MBL), surfactant proteins (SP-A and SP-D), and collectin-11 (CL-11). These proteins have gained considerable attention in current research due to their roles in renal diseases and transplantation, shedding light on their impact beyond traditional immune defense mechanisms. Understanding their involvement in these contexts is crucial for exploring potential therapeutic avenues and interventions aimed at mitigating renal pathology and improving outcomes in transplantation settings.
采集蛋白是可溶性 C 型凝集素,是一组具有共同结构特征的蛋白质:一个胶原蛋白样结构域和一个碳水化合物结合结构域。这些蛋白质是先天性免疫系统的重要组成部分,在识别和消灭病原体以防止感染方面起着关键作用。近几十年来,研究极大地促进了我们对采集蛋白的了解。除了在宿主防御中的基本作用外,采集蛋白还被认为是一种多功能蛋白质,参与调节炎症和免疫反应,促进细胞碎片的清除,甚至刺激细胞增殖。这些不同的作用对于维持生理平衡至关重要,并在各种疾病过程中,尤其是在肾脏疾病和移植中具有重要意义。在此,我们回顾了采集蛋白在肾脏疾病和移植中的作用,重点是采集蛋白家族的四个主要成员:甘露糖结合凝集素(MBL)、表面活性蛋白(SP-A 和 SP-D)以及采集蛋白-11(CL-11)。由于这些蛋白在肾脏疾病和移植中的作用,它们在当前的研究中获得了相当大的关注,揭示了它们在传统免疫防御机制之外的影响。了解它们在这些情况下的参与对探索潜在的治疗途径和干预措施至关重要,这些途径和干预措施旨在减轻肾脏病理变化和改善移植手术的预后。

Human immune system-reconstituted humanized mice are useful animal models to study human immunology in vivo. Human hematopoietic stem cell-transferred NOG mice are well recognized as humanized immune system models with reconstitution of mature lymphoid lineage cells such as T and B cells. However, human myeloid lineage cells including dendritic cells (DCs) do not fully differentiate in conventional NOG mice. DCs play a crucial role in adaptive immunity through antigen presentation to T cells to acquire antigen specificity. In this study, we established a novel humanized mouse with human DC differentiation. To induce DCs, we generated human Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (hFLT3L) transgenic NOG (hFLT3L-Tg) mice and transferred human CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) into them. Unexpectedly, low frequency of human cell engraftment was observed in the hFLT3L-Tg mice after HPC reconstitution. In the Tg mice, mouse CD11b+Gr1 myeloid cells were markedly expanded in the bone marrow due to the cross-reaction between hFLT3L and mouse Flt3 receptor, and these myeloid leukemia-like cells interfered with the engraftment of human hematopoietic cells in hFLT3L-Tg mice. To avoid this cross-reaction, we further generated NOG FLT3 receptor KO (mFlt3 KO) mice by CRISPR/Cas9 technique, and the KO mice combined with hFLT3L Tg mice to create hFLT3L Tg/mFlt3 KO (FL Tg/KO) mice. Mouse CD11b+Gr1 leukemia-like cells did not proliferate in FL Tg/KO mice due to blockade of the FLT3 signals in mouse leukocytes. After human HSC transplantation, human CD45+ cells were successfully engrafted in FL Tg/KO mice. Furthermore, major subsets of human DC populations, cDC1, cDC2, and pDC, and skin Langerhans cells were significantly differentiated in FL Tg/KO mice. Therefore, these humanized mouse models are potentially valuable in the investigation of DC-mediated human adaptive immune responses in vivo.
重建人类免疫系统的人源化小鼠是研究体内人类免疫学的有用动物模型。人类造血干细胞转移 NOG 小鼠是公认的人源化免疫系统模型,可重建成熟的淋巴系细胞,如 T 细胞和 B 细胞。然而,包括树突状细胞(DC)在内的人类髓系细胞在传统的 NOG 小鼠中并没有完全分化。DCs通过向T细胞呈递抗原以获得抗原特异性,在适应性免疫中发挥着至关重要的作用。在这项研究中,我们建立了一种新型人源化小鼠,它具有人类 DC 分化功能。为了诱导DC,我们产生了人Fms样酪氨酸激酶3配体(hFLT3L)转基因NOG(hFLT3L-Tg)小鼠,并将人CD34+造血干细胞(HSC)转入其中。出乎意料的是,hFLT3L-Tg 小鼠在造血干细胞重组后,人体细胞移植的频率很低。在 Tg 小鼠中,由于 hFLT3L 和小鼠 Flt3 受体之间的交叉反应,小鼠 CD11b+Gr1- 髓系细胞在骨髓中明显增殖,这些髓系白血病样细胞干扰了人类造血细胞在 hFLT3L-Tg 小鼠中的移植。为了避免这种交叉反应,我们进一步通过CRISPR/Cas9技术产生了NOG FLT3受体KO(mFlt3 KO)小鼠,并将KO小鼠与hFLT3L Tg小鼠结合,产生了hFLT3L Tg/mFlt3 KO(FL Tg/KO)小鼠。由于小鼠白细胞中的FLT3信号被阻断,小鼠CD11b+Gr1-白血病样细胞在FL Tg/KO小鼠体内没有增殖。人类造血干细胞移植后,人类 CD45+ 细胞成功地移植到 FL Tg/KO 小鼠体内。此外,FL Tg/KO 小鼠体内的主要人 DC 亚群(cDC1、cDC2 和 pDC)和皮肤朗格汉斯细胞也显著分化。因此,这些人源化小鼠模型对研究 DC 介导的体内人类适应性免疫反应具有潜在价值。

Rescuing pathogen-specific memory B-cell from PBMC of prior Zika virus-infected individuals 从寨卡病毒感染者的 PBMC 中拯救病原体特异性记忆 B 细胞。

Immunological memory, a fundamental immune system mechanism, is instrumental in long-term protection. Successful vaccines can elicit and sustain immunological memory against pathogens for the long term. Memory B cells (MBC) are key players in secondary responses due to their longevity and rapid differentiation into high-affinity antibody-secreting cells upon second antigen exposure. However, the availability of circulating MBCs is limited. Here we describe a protocol, which presents a straightforward and practical method for activating and expanding Zika virus (ZIKV) specific MBC. PBMCs collected from individuals who had been infected with ZIKV two years prior were cultured by supplementing with IL-2 and R848, a TLR-7/8 agonist, and then pulsed with inactivated virus. After seven days, this stimulation led to a notable rise in virus-specific functional MBC, as evidenced by a significant increase in the production of anti-ZIKV IgG. Importantly, the ZIKV pulse did not induce changes in the PBMC culture of individuals without a history of ZIKV infection. These findings demonstrate that virus-specific MBC can be expanded in vitro, even using PBMC cultures from individuals infected years before. Therefore, our protocol is a practical and effective tool for studies that require a larger number of human MBCs from previously infected individuals that are functional and specific to the pathogen under investigation.
免疫记忆是免疫系统的一种基本机制,对长期保护至关重要。成功的疫苗可以激发并维持针对病原体的长期免疫记忆。记忆 B 细胞(MBC)寿命长,并且在第二次接触抗原时能迅速分化为高亲和性抗体分泌细胞,因此是次级反应的关键因素。然而,循环 MBC 的可用性有限。在此,我们介绍了一种激活和扩增寨卡病毒(ZIKV)特异性 MBC 的直接而实用的方法。通过补充 IL-2 和 TLR-7/8 激动剂 R848 来培养从两年前感染过 ZIKV 的人身上收集的 PBMC,然后用灭活病毒进行脉冲刺激。七天后,这种刺激导致病毒特异性功能性 MBC 明显增加,抗 ZIKV IgG 的产生显著增加就是证明。重要的是,ZIKV 脉冲不会诱导无 ZIKV 感染史的个体的 PBMC 培养发生变化。这些研究结果表明,病毒特异性 MBC 可以在体外扩增,即使使用的是多年前感染者的 PBMC 培养物。因此,我们的方案是一种实用而有效的工具,适用于需要从先前感染者那里获得更多具有功能性和对所研究病原体特异性的人类 MBC 的研究。
