Cellular debris resulting from large trauma might overwhelm the scavenger mechanisms and lead to autoimmune reactions. We analysed whether a major well-defined trauma in humans induces laboratory signs of transient autoimmunity in the months after the insult. We included 50 patients with pertrochanteric femur fracture undergoing intramedullary nail osteosynthesis in a prospective cohort study and followed them at 3-4 days, 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 12 months postoperatively. By standard techniques, we assessed levels of total immunoglobulins, anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-cardiolipin antibodies, anti-dsDNA antibodies and anti-C1q antibodies, as well as antibodies against cytomegalovirus (CMV) as a control. Blood leukocyte differential and lymphocyte subpopulations were determined at baseline and in the first two postoperative samples. The mean age of the patients reached 80.1 years, and 23 (46%) completed all visits. Serum concentrations of total IgG, IgM and IgA increased at all follow-up time points. The ANA fluorescence light intensity units increased at 12 weeks and 12 months postoperatively (p < 0.0001), but the proportion of ANA-positive patients did not change (35%). The values of anti-C1q mildly increased at all follow-up visits, but not the ratio to total IgG. Anti-dsDNA remained negative in all patients, and anti-cardiolipin IgG/IgM antibodies did not change. Anti-CMV IgG antibodies increased significantly at all follow-up visits, without change in the ratio to total IgG. Flow cytometry showed an increased proportion of B-cells 3-4 days postoperatively. In conclusion, major musculoskeletal trauma in elderly patients induces a generalized non-specific increase in immunoglobulin production without laboratory signs for enhanced systemic autoimmunity.

Isoliquiritigenin (ISL) is a chalcone‐type flavonoid derived from the root of licorice with antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐tumour and neuroprotective properties. ISL has been proven to downregulate the productions of IL‐1β, TNF‐α and IL‐6 by macrophages. However, detailed molecular mechanisms of this modulation remain elusive. Here, ISL suppressed Syk phosphorylation and CD80, CD86, IL‐1β, TNF‐α and IL‐6 expressions in lipopolysaccharide‐stimulated macrophages ex vivo. ApoC3‐transgenic (ApoC3TG) mice had more activated macrophages. ISL was also able to downregulate the inflammatory activities of macrophages from ApoC3TG mice. Administration of ISL inhibited Syk activation and inflammatory activities of macrophages in ApoC3TG mice in vivo. The treatment of ISL further alleviated MCD‐induced non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in wild‐type and ApoC3TG mice, accompanied by less recruitment and activation of liver macrophages. Due to the inhibition of Syk phosphorylation, ISL‐treated macrophages displayed less production of cytoplasmic ROS, NLRP3, cleaved‐GSDMD and cleaved‐IL‐1β, suggesting less inflammasome activation. Finally, the molecular docking study demonstrated that ISL bound to Syk directly with the Kd of 1.273 × 10−8 M. When the Syk expression was knocked down by its shRNA, the inhibitory effects of ISL on activated macrophages disappeared, indicating that Syk was at least one of key docking‐molecules of ISL. Collectively, ISL could alleviate MCD‐induced NAFLD in mice involved with the inhibition of macrophage inflammatory activity by the blockade of Syk‐induced inflammasome activation.

Anti‐Golgi antibodies are uncommon antibodies that exhibit specific, polarized cytoplasmic staining on the Hep‐2 substrate. The objective of our study was to identify the clinical and laboratory features associated with anti‐Golgi antibodies. We examined 4.5 years of data from a Turkish tertiary hospital in this retrospective cohort analysis. The indirect immunofluorescence staining patterns, antinuclear antibody (ANA) titres and clinical data of all patients were obtained from the hospital record system. A total of 146,055 ANAs were detected, of which 224 patients (0.15%) exhibited anti‐Golgi antibody staining. In total, 39.4% of diagnosed patients had autoimmune diseases (AIDs). Of the AIDs, 26 (46.4%) were rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This is a very high rate and another remarkable point is that 17 (65.3%) of these patients had seronegative RA. High‐titre results (1 ≥ 1/320) were more common in patients with AID. Anti‐Ro52 was prevalent in 50% of extractable nuclear antigen (ENA)‐positive patients, making it a remarkable finding. The majority of individuals with high‐titre anti‐Golgi antibodies had AID, particularly RA. The majority of these patients also tested negative for anti‐cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti‐CCP) and rheumatoid factor (RF). Finally, high‐titre anti‐Golgi antibodies may be an important serologic marker for seronegative RA in the Turkish population.

Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) is a bile acid receptor, and its role in regulating metabolism after binding with bile acids has been established. Since the immune response depends on metabolism to provide biomolecules and energy to cope with challenging conditions, emerging evidence reveals the regulatory effects of TGR5 on the immune response. An in-depth understanding of the effect of TGR5 on immune regulation can help us disentangle the interaction of metabolism and immune response, accelerating the development of TGR5 as a therapeutic target. Herein, we reviewed more than 200 articles published in the last 20 years in PubMed, to discuss the roles of TGR5 in regulating inflammatory response, the molecular mechanism, as well as existing problems. Particularly, its anti-inflammation effect is emphasized.

Mucosal‐associated invariant T‐cells (MAIT) are unconventional T‐cells with cytotoxic and pro‐inflammatory properties. Previous research has reported contradictory findings on their role in cancerogenesis with data being even scarcer in haematological malignancies. Here, we report the results of a systematic analysis of MAIT cells in treatment‐naïve patients with a broad range of haematological malignancies. We analysed peripheral blood of 204 patients and 50 healthy subjects. The pool of haematological patients had a statistically significant lower both the absolute value (median values, 0.01 × 109/L vs. 0.05 × 109/L) of MAIT cells and their percentage (median values 0.94% vs. 2.56%) among T‐cells compared to the control group. Separate analysis showed that the decrease in the absolute number of MAIT cells is significant in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia, myeloproliferative neoplasms, plasma cell myeloma, B‐cell non‐Hodgkin lymphomas, otherwise not specified, diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma compared to the control population. Furthermore, in haematological malignancies, MAIT cells overexpress PD‐1 (average values, 51.7% vs. 6.7%), HLA‐DR (average values, 40.2% vs. 7%), CD38 (average values, 25.9% vs. 4.9%) and CD69 (average values, 40.2% vs. 9.2%). Similar results were obtained when comparing patients with individual malignancies to the control population. Our data show that the depletion of circulating MAIT cells is a common observation in a broad spectrum of haematological malignancies. In addition to their reduced numbers, MAIT cells acquire an activated/exhausted phenotype.

Antiphospholipid syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by persistent antiphospholipid antibodies. Immunoglobulin G plays a vital role in disease progression, with its structure and function affected by glycosylation. We aimed to investigate the changes in the serum immunoglobulin G glycosylation pattern in antiphospholipid syndrome patients. We applied lectin microarray on samples from 178 antiphospholipid syndrome patients, 135 disease controls (including Takayasu arteritis, rheumatoid arthritis and cardiovascular disease) and 100 healthy controls. Lectin blots were performed for validation of significant differences. Here, we show an increased immunoglobulin G‐binding level of soybean agglutinin (p = 0.047, preferring N‐acetylgalactosamine) in antiphospholipid syndrome patients compared with healthy and disease controls. Additionally, the immunoglobulin G from antiphospholipid syndrome patients diagnosed with pregnancy events had lower levels of fucosylation (p = 0.001, recognized by Lotus tetragonolobus) and sialylation (p = 0.030, recognized by Sambucus nigra I) than those with simple thrombotic events. These results suggest the unique serum immunoglobulin G glycosylation profile of antiphospholipid syndrome patients, which may inform future studies to design biomarkers for more accurate diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome and even for the prediction of clinical symptoms in patients.
抗磷脂综合征是一种罕见的自身免疫性疾病，其特征是持续存在抗磷脂抗体。免疫球蛋白G在疾病进展中起着至关重要的作用，其结构和功能受糖基化的影响。我们旨在研究抗磷脂综合征患者血清免疫球蛋白G糖基化模式的变化。我们对 178 名抗磷脂综合征患者、135 名疾病对照组（包括高安动脉炎、类风湿性关节炎和心血管疾病）和 100 名健康对照组的样本进行了凝集素芯片分析。为验证显著差异，还进行了凝集素印迹分析。在此，我们发现与健康对照组和疾病对照组相比，抗磷脂综合征患者体内大豆凝集素的免疫球蛋白 G 结合水平升高（p = 0.047，更倾向于 N-乙酰半乳糖胺）。此外，与单纯血栓事件患者相比，被诊断为妊娠事件的抗磷脂综合征患者的免疫球蛋白 G 的岩藻糖基化（p = 0.001，被四角莲识别）和硅烷基化（p = 0.030，被黑三叶草 I 识别）水平较低。这些结果表明，抗磷脂综合征患者的血清免疫球蛋白G糖基化谱具有独特性，可为今后的研究提供参考，从而设计出生物标记物，更准确地诊断抗磷脂综合征，甚至预测患者的临床症状。

Blood‐borne pathogen (BBP) infections can rapidly progress to life‐threatening sepsis and must therefore be promptly eliminated by the host's immune system. Intravascular macrophages of the liver sinusoid, splenic marginal zone and red pulp and perisinusoidal macrophage protrusions in the bone marrow (BM) directly phagocytose BBPs in the blood as an innate immune response. The liver, spleen and BM thereby work together as the blood defence system (BDS) in response to BBPs by exerting their different immunological roles. The liver removes the vast majority of these invading organisms via innate immunity, but their complete elimination is not possible without the actions of antibodies. Splenic marginal zone B cells promptly produce IgM and IgG antibodies against BBPs. The splenic marginal zone transports antigenic information from the innate to the adaptive immune systems. The white pulp of the spleen functions as adaptive immune tissue and produces specific and high‐affinity antibodies with an immune memory against BBPs. The BM works to maintain immune memory by supporting the survival of memory B cells, memory T cells and long‐lived plasma cells (LLPCs), all of which have dedicated niches. Furthermore, BM perisinusoidal naïve follicular B cells promptly produce IgM antibodies against BBPs in the BM sinusoid and the IgG memory B cells residing in the BM rapidly transform to plasma cells which produce high‐affinity IgG antibodies upon reinfection. This review describes the complete immune defence characteristics of the BDS against BBPs through the collaboration of the liver, spleen and BM with combined different immunological roles.
血源性病原体（BBP）感染可迅速发展为危及生命的败血症，因此必须由宿主的免疫系统及时清除。肝窦、脾边缘区和红髓的血管内巨噬细胞以及骨髓（BM）窦周的巨噬细胞突起直接吞噬血液中的 BBP，这是一种先天性免疫反应。因此，肝脏、脾脏和骨髓作为血液防御系统（BDS），通过发挥各自不同的免疫作用，共同应对 BBPs。肝脏通过先天性免疫清除这些入侵生物的绝大部分，但如果没有抗体的作用，就不可能完全清除它们。脾边缘区 B 细胞会迅速产生针对 BBPs 的 IgM 和 IgG 抗体。脾边缘区将抗原信息从先天性免疫系统传递到适应性免疫系统。脾脏白髓作为适应性免疫组织，产生特异性和高亲和性抗体，对 BBPs 具有免疫记忆。基础细胞膜通过支持记忆 B 细胞、记忆 T 细胞和长寿命浆细胞（LLPCs）的存活来维持免疫记忆，所有这些细胞都有专门的龛位。此外，BM 窦状体周围的幼稚滤泡 B 细胞会迅速产生针对 BBPs 的 IgM 抗体，驻留在 BM 中的 IgG 记忆 B 细胞会迅速转化为浆细胞，在再次感染时产生高亲和性 IgG 抗体。本综述描述了 BDS 通过肝脏、脾脏和 BM 的协作，结合不同的免疫学作用，对 BBPs 的完整免疫防御特征。

The liver, spleen and BM thereby work together as the blood defence system (BDS) in response to BBPs by exerting their different immunological roles. The liver removes the vast majority of these invading organisms via innate immunity, but their complete elimination is not possible without the actions of antibodies. Splenic marginal zone B cells promptly produce IgM and IgG antibodies against BBPs. The splenic marginal zone transports antigenic information from the innate to the adaptive immune systems. The white pulp of the spleen functions as adaptive immune tissue and produces specific and high‐affinity antibodies with an immune memory against BBPs. The BM works to maintain immune memory by supporting the survival of memory B cells, memory T cells and long‐lived plasma cells (LLPCs), all of which have dedicated niches. Furthermore, BM perisinusoidal naïve follicular B cells promptly produce IgM antibodies against BBPs in the BM sinusoid and the IgG memory B cells residing in the BM rapidly transform to plasma cells which produce high‐affinity IgG antibodies upon reinfection. This review describes the complete immune defence characteristics of the BDS against BBPs through the collaboration of the liver, spleen and BM with combined different immunological roles.","PeriodicalId":21493,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Immunology","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140046051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The presence of autoantibodies is closely associated with the occurrence and development of cancer. Autoantibodies can be used as biomarkers for early breast cancer diagnosis. However, the relationship between autoantibodies and the prognosis of breast cancer patients remains elusive. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the correlation between the presence of autoantibodies and outcomes in breast cancer patients. This study included a total of 155 patients from People's Hospital of Henan University (Zhengzhou, China) who were diagnosed with breast cancer from January 2017 to December 2021. The enrolled patients' clinicopathological features were collected, and 88 patients were ultimately involved in the analysis. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to search for the risk factors related to the poor prognosis of breast cancer patients. The association between the presence of autoantibodies and patients' survival was analysed using Kaplan–Meier curves. After screening, there were 38 autoantibody‐positive cases and 50 autoantibody‐negative cases. Breast cancer patients with autoantibody‐positive had a 57% lower risk of death compared with autoantibody‐negative patients. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that the presence of autoantibody could be a potential prognostic predictor for breast cancer, independent of age, histological grade, pathological classification, clinical stage, and the expression levels of hormonal receptors. In addition, autoantibody‐positive breast cancer patients had longer progression‐free survival and overall survival compared with autoantibody‐negative cases. Positive autoantibody was found as an independent biomarker of better prognosis in breast cancer patients, providing a new strategy for the prognostic assessment of breast cancer patients.
