Peripheral T cell activation, not thymic selection, expands the T follicular helper repertoire in a lupus-prone murine model
Many autoimmune diseases are characterized by the activation of autoreactive T cells. The T cell repertoire is established in the thymus; it remains uncertain whether the presence of disease-associated autoreactive T cells reflects abnormal T cell selection in the thymus or aberrant T cell activation in the periphery. Here, we describe T cell selection, activation, and T cell repertoire diversity in female mice deficient for B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein (BLIMP)-1 in dendritic cells... http://dlvr.it/Sz5XXD

Occupational exposure to inhaled crystalline silica dust (cSiO2) is linked to systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody vasculitis.
Taken together, diverse disease-relevant autoreactive B cells, including cells specific for DNA, MPO, and basement membrane, are recruited to lung ectopic lymphoid aggregates in response to cSiO2 instillation. B cells that escape tolerance can contribute to local autoantibody production. Our demonstration of significantly enhanced autoantibody induction by TLR ligands further suggests that a coordinated environmental co-exposure can magnify autoimmune vulnerability.

📆 27 June 2022 📰 Boot Camp for the Immune System - How immune cells learn to discern friend from foe 🗞 Harvard Medical School
“Think of it as having your body recreated in the thymus,” said study senior author Diane Mathis, professor of immunology in the Blavatnik Institute at HMS. “For me, it was a revelation to be able to see with my own eyes muscle-like cells in the thymus or several very different types of intestinal cells.”
Until the mid-1900s, the thymus provoked little scientific interest because it was deemed vestigial, Michelson said. But as far back as the mid-1800s—well before scientists knew what the thymus does or that an adaptive immune system existed—biologists had already noticed cells in the thymus that looked out of place. Peering into their microscopes throughout the decades, they saw cells that looked like they came from muscle, intestine, and skin. Yet, the thymus was none of the above. The observations made no sense.
The newly published research hearkens back to a very old finding and puts it into a whole new molecular context, Michelson said.
The study showed that these teacher cells, dubbed mimetic cells for their ability to mimic different tissues, work by co-opting various transcription factors—proteins that drive the expression of genes unique to specific tissues. When they do so, the mimetic cells effectively adopt the identities of tissues such as skin, lung, liver, or intestine. They then present themselves to immature T cells to teach them self-tolerance, the team’s experiments showed.
The work shows that T cells-in-training that mistakenly react against self-proteins either receive a command to self-destruct or get repurposed into other types of T cells that don’t kill but instead restrain other immune cells from attacking.
“The thymus says: This cell is autoreactive, we don’t want it in our repertoire, let’s get rid of it,” Michelson said.

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?
Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, autoimmune, and neurodegenerative disorder that affects the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord. In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers called myelin. Myelin is crucial for the proper transmission of nerve signals, and its destruction disrupts the communication between nerve cells, leading to various neurological symptoms.
The Immune System's Role: The immune system is a complex network of cells and molecules that defend the body against harmful invaders such as viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. In the case of MS, the immune system becomes dysregulated, causing it to attack the body's own myelin as if it were a foreign substance. This autoimmune response leads to inflammation, demyelination (loss of myelin), and damage to the nerve fibers.
Immune Cells Involved: Several types of immune cells are implicated in the development and progression of MS:
T Cells: T cells are a type of white blood cell that play a central role in immune responses. In MS, certain types of T cells called autoreactive T cells recognize myelin as foreign and initiate an immune attack against it.
B Cells: B cells are another type of white blood cell responsible for producing antibodies. In MS, B cells can contribute to the immune response by producing antibodies that target myelin or by influencing other immune cells.
Macrophages and Microglia: These cells are part of the innate immune system and are responsible for engulfing and removing cellular debris. In MS, they can become activated and contribute to the inflammation and damage in the CNS.
Inflammation and Lesion Formation: The immune response in MS leads to inflammation in the CNS. Inflammatory cells infiltrate the brain and spinal cord, causing damage to myelin and nerve fibers. These damaged areas are often referred to as "lesions." As the inflammation continues, the process of demyelination progresses, and nerve fibers may also become damaged directly, contributing to the neurological symptoms experienced by MS patients.
Relapsing-Remitting MS and Immune Flare-Ups:
MS often presents with a relapsing-remitting course, meaning that patients experience periods of symptom exacerbation (relapses) followed by periods of partial or complete recovery (remission). These relapses are often associated with immune flare-ups, where the immune system becomes activated and attacks myelin in specific areas of the CNS. The underlying cause of these flare-ups is complex and involves the interplay between various immune cells and signaling molecules.
Treatment Approaches: Because MS is closely tied to immune system dysfunction, many treatments for the disease focus on modulating or suppressing the immune response. Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) are a class of medications that aim to reduce inflammation, prevent relapses, and slow the progression of MS by targeting different aspects of the immune response. These treatments can include immunomodulatory drugs, immunosuppressants, and monoclonal antibodies.
Mr. Jayesh Saini points out that, “The connection between Multiple Sclerosis and the immune system is intricate. Dysregulation of the immune response leads to inflammation, demyelination, and damage in the CNS, resulting in the various neurological symptoms associated with the disease. Ongoing research continues to delve into the underlying mechanisms of this interaction, leading to the development of more targeted and effective treatments for MS.”

Elements impacting on success and neurological outcomes for people who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Almost all legal rights reserved. Your United states Journal of drugs (This year) 123, 454-461Cancer of the breast is the next primary reason for cancers death in ladies in the usa. Metastasis is the reason your demise of comparable to Ninety percent of these people, however the components underlying this stay badly described. WAVE3 belongs to the WASP/WAVE class of actin-binding healthy proteins that will enjoy important jobs inside controlling cellular morphology, actin polymerization, cytoskeleton remodeling, cell mobility, and also breach. Keeping that in mind, many of us shown previously that WAVE3 helps bring about purchasing regarding unpleasant and also metastatic phenotypes simply by human breast cancers. Within, we show modifying progress factor-beta (TGF-beta) selectively and also robustly caused the expression regarding WAVE3 in stage 4 cervical cancer tissue, although not inside their nonmetastatic brethren. Furthermore, the induction involving WAVE3 expression in man and also mouse triple-negative breast cancers tissues (TNBCs) simply by TGF-beta probably displays their combining to microRNA term by way of a Smad2- and also 'beta' Several integrin-dependent procedure. We additional demonstrate the necessity for WAVE3 expression throughout mediating the particular initiation involving epithelial-mesenchymal transition (Paramedic) applications stimulated through TGF-beta. Indeed, stable exhaustion of WAVE3 expression within human being TNBC cells averted TGF-beta coming from inducing Emergency medical technician programs as well as via stimulating the expansion, migration, as well as the enhancement involving lamellipodia in metastatic TNBC tissue. And finally, we all noticed WAVE3 insufficiency to be able to abrogate your outgrowth regarding TNBC cell organoids throughout 3-dimensional organotypic cultures or even to limit the growth and metastasis involving 4T1 growths stated in syngeneic Balb/C rats. In fact, WAVE3 lack significantly reduced the use of sarcomatoid morphologies an indication of EMT phenotypes within pulmonary TNBC growths in comparison with people recognized of their adult competitors. In concert, these bits of information suggest the necessity of WAVE3 term and action through EMT programs activated by simply TGF-beta; additionally, they suggest that procedures competent at inactivating WAVE3 are likely involved within improving metastasis stimulated through TGF-beta.CD40/CD40L signaling helps bring about the two W mobile as well as CTL reactions throughout vivo, aforementioned being beneficial in growth designs. Simply because CTL might also restrict autoreactive B mobile or portable enlargement within lupus, we inquired whether the agonist CD40 mAb would likely exacerbate Advices because of T mobile excitement or might increase lupus on account of CTL advertising.

Clinical heterogeneity in patients with PASC has made it challenging to identify clear biological associations with the disease29. Here, we suggest that PASC should be subclassified into (at least) two distinct conditions, characterized by the presence (inflPASC) or absence (plaqPASC) of broad inflammatory signatures consistent with high neutrophil activity and ongoing B cell activation. Using high-dimensional proteomics in combination with machine learning-based modeling, we characterize clear signatures of generalized PASC strongly suggestive of dysregulation of discrete biologic processes underlying disease that may be tractable for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. While traditional feature-wise testing showed an inflammatory component to PASC as a whole, a finding largely in agreement with emerging literature, pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1B were not identified as strong candidates for the discrimination of PASC when modeling the totality of blood protein content. Instead, signatures of complement and clotting cascades, active antigen processing, and EGFR signaling were more consistently associated across the group, with the unanticipated identification of unique targets, such as epiregulin, that may hold important diagnostic value.
Likewise, proteomics-based clustering of PASC patients revealed a clear subset of patients closely associated with inflammatory immune signatures strongly suggestive of neutrophilic activity. Through readily-available clinical testing, these inflPASC patients displayed increased white blood cell counts driven by neutrophil expansion in comparison to plaqPASC counterparts, and showed significant increases in acute-phase reactants such as C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, and D-dimer. Associations with clinically-relevant autoantibodies, particularly those related to autoimmune vascular and clotting disorders, suggest that risk of micro-clotting, now widely reported in patients recovering from COVID-19, may be predictable through accurate identification of PASC subtype. However, these signatures are not readily apparent when taking the PASC cohort as a whole. It is important to note that even while these clinical markers are elevated within the inflPASC group, they do not necessarily reflect ‘abnormal’ test results in all cases. That is, the testing of any marker independently may not, by itself, indicate clear disorder. Instead, the elevation of multiple markers, even when within ‘normal’ ranges, seem to best reflect the broad inflammatory signals identified in the proteomics screen. This finding only emphasizes the need to develop tools capable of providing nuanced assessment across a variety of clinical parameters in patient classification. Similarly, it is important to acknowledge that plaqPASC is defined only as the absence of a clear inflammatory signature in the blood, and not as the absence of disease. As others have now shown30, and we show here (Fig 2b,h), biological associations can be readily identified across a wide spectrum of PASC independent of clear inflammatory signaling. It will be critical to understand how all of these signatures predict, and potentially contribute to, long-term patient morbidity.
Cellular immune signatures were correlated with the autoantibody signatures identified in the inflPASC cohort suggesting an increased emphasis of the EF B cell response pathway. Recently, this pathway has been directly implicated in the emergence of autoreactivity in severe COVID-19, with permissive B cell selective pressures leading to the emergence of cross-reactive clones capable of targeting both viral- and self-antigens22. However, in contrast with those studies, the prominence of the described effectors of that pathway, DN2 B cells and ASCs, was notably more muted in inflPASC patients. However, the presumed precursor to this pathway, aN B cells, were identified at almost a 2-fold increase over baseline. While more work is needed, these cells consistent with this phenotype have been previously implicated as an antigen-specific memory compartment within the context of yellow fever vaccination36. Here, they correlate with persistent reactivity against non-spike SARS-CoV-2 antigens. With previous studies in MIS-C identifying non-structural protein targeting as a feature highly related to autoreactivity, and previous implication of the aN populations in the emergence of de novo autoreactivity in chronic autoimmunity, it will be important to know if these cells may contribute to EF-derived memory responses and/or have a propensity towards self-targeting. Indeed, the identification of increasing autoreactivity in these patients at extended time points after COVID-19 recovery strongly suggests that an autoreactive memory compartment may be identifiable in these patients.
The overwhelming disease burden attributable to PASC worldwide10 demands that serious attention must be paid both to its accurate diagnosis as well as potential therapeutic avenues. The identification of a clear subclassification of PASC with a highly inflammatory presentation is an important first step. Based on these data, it is likely that these two PASC subclassifications may respond differently to the immunomodulatory therapies currently being investigated in large-scale clinical trials. Using machine-learning approaches, we have identified critical factors that can be used as positive classifiers of inlfPASC with a high degree of sensitivity and precision. Notably, while initial characterization of this heterogeneity required high-dimensional and unbiased screening, we found that a small subset of features that could be tested at scale, selected through novel assessments of feature potency, was nearly as performant when considered alone. Further, our integration of these data with classical in-clinic blood counts, clotting tests, autoreactive screening, and inflammatory marker assessment suggests that there may be several viable avenues to the positive identification of inflPASC patients without need for highly specialized technology. These assessments could be easily integrated into ongoing clinical trials to understand if therapeutics exert discordant effects on specific patient groups and reduce the potential for false-negative outcomes due to patient heterogeneity.
A critical question building upon these initial findings will be the stability of these inflammatory states over time. A surprising finding from these data, in combination with the published literature29, is the difficulty in discriminating disease subtype through symptom presentation alone. While trends do emerge, symptom presentation appears to be a poor discriminator of the inflPASC and plaqPASC groups despite their discordant underlying biology and identification of long-term physiological manifestations. As a result, it will be important to move beyond symptomatic presentation as a method of classifying patients, and understand how the signatures reported here might evolve over the course of disease. To this end, while our cross-sectional approach defines clear lines between plaqPASC and inflPASC, it is not yet clear if these presentations are mutually exclusive. In the case of reservoir-based viral reactivation as a main driver of PASC, as several have argued37, it could be that inflPASC manifestations are an observation of an inflammatory phase of cyclic reactivation rather than a discrete patient subtype. However, regardless of the stability of these manifestations, these data, taken together, point to an inflammatory process connected to altered long-term immunologic manifestations that may provide an abundance of therapeutic targets aimed at the alleviation of this debilitating disease.

Clonal haematopoiesis and dysregulation of the immune system
Age-related diseases are frequently linked to pathological immune dysfunction, including excessive inflammation, autoreactivity and immunodeficiency. Recent analyses of human genetic data have revealed that somatic mutations and mosaic chromosomal alterations in blood cells - a condition known as clonal haematopoiesis (CH) - are associated with ageing and pathological immune dysfunction. Indeed, large-scale epidemiological studies and experimental mouse models have demonstrated that CH can... http://dlvr.it/SlFQq8

SCC examples were stained with regard to the lymphatic system endothelial charter boat sign LYVE-1 as well as good cellular material had been relied and also compared with tissue in normal skin color. Gene established enrichment examination as well as change transcribing (RT)-PCR had been done in SCC, in adjoining non-tumor-bearing skin, and on normal pores and skin to look for the differential term associated with lymphangiogenesis-associated body's genes. Laser beam catch microdissection (LCM) ended up being performed to be able to isolate tumour cells as well as tumor-associated inflamed tissues for even more gene appearance examination Crizotinib c-Met inhibitor . Immunofluorescence had been performed to ascertain the method to obtain vascular endothelial development factor-C (VEGF-C) within the tumor microenvironment. We all discovered greater lymphatic system occurrence along with reorganized lymphatic endothelial yachts inside the dermis quickly adjacent to SCC nests.

📅 Aug 2017 📰 Battle of the B Cells ✍ Kat J. McAlpine 🗞 Harvard Medical School
“It has been a longstanding observation in the clinic that autoimmune diseases evolve over time, attacking an ever-expanding array of organs and tissues,” said Søren Degn, a research fellow at Boston Children���s and first author of the new study.
Once the autoimmune response is triggered, Carroll says the “runaway train pulls out of the station,” and the immune system begins to go after other, similar autoantigens elsewhere in the body.
“Over time, the B cells that initially produce the ‘winning’ autoantibodies begin to recruit other B cells to produce additional damaging autoantibodies—just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water,” said Degn.
“This finding was such a surprise,” said Carroll. “It not only tells us that autoreactive B cells are competing inside germinal centers to design an autoantibody, but then we also see that the immune response broadens to attack other tissues in the body, leading to epitope spreading at the speed of wildfire.”
For now, the team says, understanding how B-cell activity in germinal centers relates to epitope spreading is a leap in the right direction. They speculate that a therapy that blocks germinal centers, which act as the immune system’s working memory, might one day be used to halt the vicious cycle of autoimmune diseases.
“Blocking germinal centers in the midst of an autoimmune response could potentially block the epitope spreading process,” said Carroll. “If you could stop the adaptive immune system for a transient amount of time, it might allow the body to reset its immune responses and shut off the autoreactivity.”
