Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reconstitute multilineage human hematopoiesis after clinical bone marrow (BM) transplantation and are the cells of origin of some hematological malignancies. Although HSCs provide multilineage engraftment, individual murine HSCs are lineage biased and contribute unequally to blood cell lineages. Here, we performed high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing in mice after xenograft with molecularly barcoded adult human BM HSCs. We demonstrated that human individual BM HSCs are also functionally and transcriptionally lineage biased. Specifically, we identified platelet-biased and multilineage human HSCs. Quantitative comparison of transcriptomes from single HSCs from young and aged BM showed that both the proportion of platelet-biased HSCs and their level of transcriptional platelet priming increase with age. Therefore, platelet-biased HSCs and their increased prevalence and transcriptional platelet priming during aging are conserved features of mammalian evolution.

Postoperative pain affects most patients after major surgery and can transition to chronic pain. The considerable side effects and limited efficacy of current treatments underline the need for new therapeutic options. We observed increased amounts of the metabolites BH4 and serotonin after skin injury. Mast cells were primary postoperative sources of Gch1, the rate-limiting enzyme in BH4 synthesis, itself an obligate cofactor in serotonin production by tryptophan hydroxylase (Tph1). Mice deficient in mast cells or in mast cell–specific Gch1 or Tph1 showed drastically decreased postoperative pain. We found that injury induced the nociceptive neuropeptide substance P, mast cell degranulation, and granule nerve colocalization. Substance P triggered serotonin release in mouse and human mast cells, and substance P receptor blockade substantially ameliorated pain hypersensitivity. Our findings highlight the importance of mast cells at the neuroimmune interface and substance P–driven mast cell BH4 and serotonin production as a therapeutic target for postoperative pain treatment.
大多数患者在接受大手术后都会出现术后疼痛,并有可能转变为慢性疼痛。目前的治疗方法副作用大、疗效有限,因此需要新的治疗方案。我们观察到皮肤损伤后代谢物 BH4 和血清素的含量增加。肥大细胞是术后 Gch1 的主要来源,Gch1 是 BH4 合成过程中的限速酶,本身也是色氨酸羟化酶(Tph1)产生血清素的必备辅助因子。缺乏肥大细胞或肥大细胞特异性 Gch1 或 Tph1 的小鼠术后疼痛明显减轻。我们发现,损伤会诱导痛觉神经肽物质 P、肥大细胞脱颗粒和颗粒神经共定位。物质 P 能诱导小鼠和人类肥大细胞释放血清素,而物质 P 受体阻断能显著改善痛觉过敏性。我们的研究结果突显了肥大细胞在神经免疫界面的重要性,以及物质 P 驱动肥大细胞 BH4 和血清素分泌作为术后疼痛治疗靶点的重要性。

How group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) regulate mucosal protection in the presence of T cells remains poorly understood. Here, we examined ILC3 function in intestinal immunity using ILC3-deficient mice that maintain endogenous T cells, T helper 17 (TH17) cells, and secondary lymphoid organs. ILC3s were dispensable for generation of TH17 and TH22 cell responses to commensal and pathogenic bacteria, and absence of ILC3s did not affect IL-22 production by CD4 T cells before or during infection. However, despite the presence of IL-22–producing T cells, ILC3s and ILC3-derived IL-22 were required for maintaining homeostatic functions of the intestinal epithelium. T cell–sufficient, ILC3-deficient mice were capable of pathogen clearance and survived infection with a low dose of Citrobacter rodentium. However, ILC3s promoted pathogen tolerance at early time points of infection by activating tissue-protective immune pathways. Consequently, ILC3s were indispensable for survival after high-dose infection. Our results demonstrate a context-dependent role for ILC3s in immune-sufficient animals and provide a blueprint for uncoupling of ILC3 and TH17 cell functions.

Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) and immunity (IEIs) are Mendelian diseases in which complex phenotypes and patient rarity have limited clinical understanding. Whereas few genes have been annotated as contributing to both IEMs and IEIs, immunometabolic demands suggested greater functional overlap. Here, CRISPR screens tested IEM genes for immunologic roles and IEI genes for metabolic effects and found considerable previously unappreciated crossover. Analysis of IEMs showed that N-linked glycosylation and the hexosamine pathway enzyme Gfpt1 are critical for T cell expansion and function. Further, T helper (TH1) cells synthesized uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine more rapidly and were more impaired by Gfpt1 deficiency than TH17 cells. Screening IEI genes found that Bcl11b promotes the CD4 T cell mitochondrial activity and Mcl1 expression necessary to prevent metabolic stress. Thus, a high degree of functional overlap exists between IEM and IEI genes, and immunometabolic mechanisms may underlie a previously underappreciated intersection of these disorders.
先天性代谢错误(IEMs)和免疫(IEIs)是孟德尔疾病,其复杂的表型和患者的罕见性限制了临床了解。虽然很少有基因被注释为对 IEMs 和 IEIs 都有影响,但免疫代谢需求表明它们在功能上有更大的重叠。在这里,CRISPR 筛选测试了 IEM 基因的免疫学作用和 IEI 基因的代谢作用,发现了大量以前未曾注意到的交叉。对 IEM 的分析表明,N-连接的糖基化和六聚糖途径酶 Gfpt1 对 T 细胞的扩增和功能至关重要。此外,与 T H 17 细胞相比,T 辅助细胞(T H 1)合成尿苷二磷酸 N - 乙酰葡糖胺的速度更快,而且 Gfpt1 缺乏对其损害更大。对 IEI 基因的筛选发现,Bcl11b 可促进 CD4 T 细胞线粒体活性和 Mcl1 的表达,这是防止代谢压力所必需的。因此,IEM 和 IEI 基因之间存在着高度的功能重叠,免疫代谢机制可能是以前未被重视的这些疾病交叉的基础。

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 variant JN.1 recently emerged as the dominant variant despite having only one amino acid change on the spike (S) protein receptor binding domain (RBD) compared with the ancestral BA.2.86, which never represented more than 5% of global variants. To define at the molecular level the JN.1 ability to spread globally, we interrogated a panel of 899 neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies. Our data show that the single leucine-455–to–serine mutation in the JN.1 spike protein RBD unleashed the global spread of JN.1, likely occurring by elimination of more than 70% of the neutralizing antibodies mediated by IGHV3-53/3-66 germlines. However, the resilience of class 3 antibodies with low neutralization potency but strong Fc functions may explain the absence of JN.1 severe disease.

Dedicator of cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8) immunodeficiency syndrome is characterized by a failure of the germinal center response, a process involving the proliferation and positive selection of antigen-specific B cells. Here, we describe how DOCK8-deficient B cells are blocked at a light-zone checkpoint in the germinal centers of immunized mice, where they are unable to respond to T cell–dependent survival and selection signals and consequently differentiate into plasma cells or memory B cells. Although DOCK8-deficient B cells can acquire and present antigen to initiate activation of cognate T cells, integrin up-regulation, B cell–T cell conjugate formation, and costimulation are insufficient for sustained B cell and T cell activation when antigen availability is limited. Our findings provide an explanation for the failure of the humoral response in DOCK8 immunodeficiency syndrome and insight into how the level of available antigen modulates B cell–T cell cross-talk to fine-tune humoral immune responses and immunological memory.

The Aedes aegypti mosquito is a vector of many infectious agents, including flaviviruses such as Zika virus. Components of mosquito saliva have pleomorphic effects on the vertebrate host to enhance blood feeding, and these changes also create a favorable niche for pathogen replication and dissemination. Here, we demonstrate that human CD47, which is known to be involved in various immune processes, interacts with a 34-kilodalton mosquito salivary protein named Nest1. Nest1 is up-regulated in blood-fed female A. aegypti and facilitates Zika virus dissemination in human skin explants. Nest1 has a stronger affinity for CD47 than its natural ligand, signal regulatory protein α, competing for binding at the same interface. The interaction between Nest1 with CD47 suppresses phagocytosis by human macrophages and inhibits proinflammatory responses by white blood cells, thereby suppressing antiviral responses in the skin. This interaction elucidates how an arthropod protein alters the human response to promote arbovirus infectivity.

Aberrant activation of the cyclic guanosine monophosphate–adenosine monophosphate synthase–stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway causes autoimmunity in humans and mice; however, the exact mechanism by which the cGAS-STING pathway initiates adaptive immunity and tissue pathology is still not fully understood. Here, we used a cGAS knockin (KI) mouse model that develops systemic autoimmunity. In the lungs of cGAS-KI mice, blood vessels were enclosed by organized lymphoid tissues that resemble tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs). Cell-intrinsic cGAS induction promoted up-regulation of CCR5 in CD8+ T cells and led to CCL5 production in vascular endothelial cells. Peripheral CD8+ T cells were recruited to the lungs and produced CXCL13 and interferon-γ. The latter triggered endothelial cell death, potentiated CCL5 production, and was essential for TLS establishment. Blocking CCL5 or CCR5, or depleting CD8+ T cells, impaired TLS formation. cGAS-mediated TLS formation also enhanced humoral and antitumor responses. These data demonstrate that cGAS signaling drives a specialized lymphoid structure that underlies autoimmune tissue pathology.

The latter triggered endothelial cell death, potentiated CCL5 production, and was essential for TLS establishment. Blocking CCL5 or CCR5, or depleting CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells, impaired TLS formation. cGAS-mediated TLS formation also enhanced humoral and antitumor responses. These data demonstrate that cGAS signaling drives a specialized lymphoid structure that underlies autoimmune tissue pathology.</div>","PeriodicalId":21734,"journal":{"name":"Science Immunology","volume":"9 98","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.science.org/doi/reader/10.1126/sciimmunol.adk2612","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141879343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
