RESUMO
The prevalence of HCV infection in Egypt has decreased following the introduction of direct-acting antiviral therapy. However, treatment response is influenced by various factors, particularly host immunogenetics such as IL-28B and FOXP3 polymorphisms. The current study examined the impact of SNPs in the FOXP3 gene promoter region on HCV-infected Egyptian patients, along with SNPs in the IL28B gene.This study involved 99 HCV patients who achieved SVR12 after a 12 week DAA treatment while 63 HCV patients experienced treatment failure. IL28B rs12979860 SNP was identified using real-time PCR, while IL28B rs8099917, FOXP3 rs3761548, and rs2232365 SNPs were analyzed using RFLP-PCR. Serum levels of IL28B and FOXP3 were quantified using ELISA technique in representative samples from both groups. The IL28B rs12979860 T > C (P = 0.013) and FOXP3 rs2232365 A > G polymorphisms (P = 0.008) were found to significantly increase the risk of non-response. Responders had higher IL28B serum levels (P = 0.046) and lower FOXP3 levels (P < 0.001) compared to non-responders. Regression analysis showed an association between IL28B rs12979860 and FOXP3 rs2232365 with treatment response, independent of age and gender. A predictive model was developed with 76.2% sensitivity and 91.9% specificity for estimating DAAs response in HCV patients.Our findings confirmed the IL28B rs12979860 T > C and FOXP3 rs2232365 A > G polymorphisms significantly affect DAA treatment response in HCV Egyptian patients. Lower levels of IL-28B along with higher levels of FOXP3 are linked to poor response. Our results may lead to new insights into DAA responsiveness contributing to personalized medicine and improving therapeutic decision-making for HCV patients.

Introduction: Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have demonstrated promising outcomes in diverse clinical indications, including but not limited to graft rejection, cancer, and autoimmune diseases lately.Recognizing the crucial need for the scientific community to quickly and easily access dependable information on monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), IMGT®, the international ImMunoGeneTics information system®, provides a unique and invaluable resource: IMGT/mAb-DB, a comprehensive database of therapeutic mAbs, accessible via a user-friendly web interface. However, this approach restricts more sophisticated queries and segregates information from other databases. Methods: To connect IMGT/mAb-DB with the rest of the IMGT databases, we created IMGT/mAb-KG, a knowledge graph for therapeutic monoclonal antibodies connected to IMGT structures and genomics databases. IMGT/mAb-KG is developed using the most effective methodologies and standards of semantic web and acquires data from IMGT/mAb-DB. Concerning interoperability, IMGT/mAb-KG reuses terms from biomedical resources and is connected to related resources. Results and discussion: In February 2024, IMGT/mAb-KG, encompassing a total of 139,629 triplets, provides access to 1,489 mAbs, approximately 500 targets, and over 500 clinical indications. It offers detailed insights into the mechanisms of action of mAbs, their construction, and their various products and associated studies. Linked to other resources such as Thera-SAbDab (Therapeutic Structural Antibody Database), PharmGKB (a comprehensive resource curating knowledge on the impact of genetic variation on drug response), PubMed, and HGNC (HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee), IMGT/mAb-KG is an essential resource for mAb development. A user-friendly web interface facilitates the exploration and analyse of the content of IMGT/mAb-KG.

BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer's lymphatic spread primarily begins from the sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs), underlining their pivotal role in disease metastasis. However, these nodes' immune gene expression profiles and immunoregulation mechanisms have yet to be explored. METHODS: Our study aimed to elucidate the immune cell populations and their roles in the immune gene expression profile of negative SLNs compared with positive SLNs and non-SLNs using Nanostring RNA seq analysis. We performed a principal component analysis on the log2 normalized expression of 685 endogenous genes in the nCounter PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel, followed by an assessment of the differential expression of genes and immune cell type abundance. RESULTS: We found significant variations in gene expression among the groups, with negative SLNs displaying overexpression of genes related to tumor-infiltrating immune cells, specifically innate cell populations. They also demonstrated the upregulation of genes involved in antigen presentation and T-cell priming. In contrast, positive SLNs were enriched in regulatory networks, suggesting their potential role in immune evasion. A comparison of negative SLNs and non-SLNs revealed increased innate and adaptive immune cell types, underscoring the ongoing T cell response to tumor antigens. CONCLUSION: Our findings underscore a specific immunogenetic phenotype profile in negative SLNs, emphasizing their crucial role in the initial anticancer response, immunosurveillance, and the propagation of immune tolerance from the primary cervical tumor. These results highlight the potential of SLNs as a novel target for immunotherapy strategies and underscore the importance of new imaging methods for accurately identifying SLN status without removal. Future investigations are needed to understand further the immunological interplay within SLNs and their influence on cervical cancer progression.

Viral coinfection among HIV-positive patients, coupled with the development of AIDS, remains a major public health problem. The synergism between the presence of HIV and other viruses has consequences in relation to changes in the severity of the infection, as well as changes in the natural course of both infections. Several polymorphisms present in genes that encode cytokines have a relevant influence on their transcription and consequently on the production of such immunological molecules. The present study evaluated the influence of SNPs located in the promoter regions of genes encoding the cytokines INF-É£, TNF, IL-6, IL-4, and IL-2, as well as their respective plasma concentrations, in patients infected with HIV and/or EBV in the state of Pará. Additionally, this study described the epidemiological profile and compared CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocyte counts among the groups studied. The associative analysis between the SNPs and plasma cytokine concentrations in different groups showed statistical relevance for three polymorphisms: rs2069762 (IL2), where the GG genotype demonstrated higher IL-2 levels in HIV mono-infected individuals; rs2243250 (IL4), where the CT genotype showed higher IL-4 levels in the control group; and rs2069705 (IFNG), where the TT genotype showed higher IFN-γ levels in the coinfected group. Regarding SNP associations with CD4+/CD8+ counts, significant findings were observed in HIV mono-infected individuals: the rs2069705 (IFNG) polymorphism was linked to higher CD4+ counts with the CT genotype, and rs1799964 (TNF) was associated with higher CD8+ counts with the CC genotype. Therefore, this study provides evidence that the rs2069705 (IFNG) SNP is associated with elevated IFN-γ levels, which may have pathogenic consequences, as depletion of this cytokine is concerning for people living with HIV due to its antiviral properties.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a chronic disease, which often develops in older people, but this is not the rule. AMD pathogenesis changes include the anatomical and functional complex. As a result of damage, it occurs, in the retina and macula, among other areas. These changes may lead to partial or total loss of vision. This disease can occur in two clinical forms, i.e., dry (progression is slowly and gradually) and exudative (wet, progression is acute and severe), which usually started as dry form. A coexistence of both forms is possible. AMD etiology is not fully understood. Extensive genetic studies have shown that this disease is multifactorial and that genetic determinants, along with environmental and metabolic-functional factors, are important risk factors. This article reviews the impact of heavy metals, macro- and microelements, and genetic factors on the development of AMD. We present the current state of knowledge about the influence of environmental factors and genetic determinants on the progression of AMD in the confrontation with our own research conducted on the Polish population from Kuyavian-Pomeranian and Lubusz Regions. Our research is concentrated on showing how polluted environments of large agglomerations affects the development of AMD. In addition to confirming heavy metal accumulation, the growth of risk of acute phase factors and polymorphism in the genetic material in AMD development, it will also help in the detection of new markers of this disease. This will lead to a better understanding of the etiology of AMD and will help to establish prevention and early treatment.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a disease characterized by social disorder. Recently, the population affected by ASD has gradually increased around the world. There are great difficulties in diagnosis and treatment at present. Methods: The ASD datasets were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and the immune-relevant genes were downloaded from a previously published compilation. Subsequently, we used WGCNA to screen the modules related to the ASD and immune. We also choose the best combination and screen out the core genes from Consensus Machine Learning Driven Signatures (CMLS). Subsequently, we evaluated the genetic correlation between immune cells and ASD used GNOVA. And pleiotropic regions identified by PLACO and CPASSOC between ASD and immune cells. FUMA was used to identify pleiotropic regions, and expression trait loci (EQTL) analysis was used to determine their expression in different tissues and cells. Finally, we use qPCR to detect the gene expression level of the core gene. Results: We found a close relationship between neutrophils and ASD, and subsequently, CMLS identified a total of 47 potential candidate genes. Secondly, GNOVA showed a significant genetic correlation between neutrophils and ASD, and PLACO and CPASSOC identified a total of 14 pleiotropic regions. We annotated the 14 regions mentioned above and identified a total of 6 potential candidate genes. Through EQTL, we found that the CFLAR gene has a specific expression pattern in neutrophils, suggesting that it may serve as a potential biomarker for ASD and is closely related to its pathogenesis. Conclusions: In conclusion, our study yields unprecedented insights into the molecular and genetic heterogeneity of ASD through a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis. These valuable findings hold significant implications for tailoring personalized ASD therapies.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune connective tissue disorder characterized by massive fibrosis, vascular damage, and immune imbalance. Advances in rheumatology and immunology over the past two decades have led to a redefinition of systemic sclerosis, shifting from its initial perception as primarily a "hyperfibrotic" state towards a recognition of systemic sclerosis as an immune-mediated disease. Consequently, the search for genetic markers has transitioned from focusing on fibrotic mechanisms to exploring immune regulatory pathways. Immunogenetics, an emerging field at the intersection of immunology, molecular biology, and genetics has provided valuable insights into inherited factors that influence immunity. Data from genetic studies conducted thus far indicate that alterations in genetic messages can significantly impact disease risk and progression. While certain genetic variations may confer protective effects, others may exacerbate disease susceptibility. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the most relevant genetic changes that influence both the risk and course of systemic sclerosis. Special emphasis is placed on factors regulating the immune response, recognizing their pivotal role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT) proteins play pivotal roles in immune regulation. The dysregulation of these proteins, attributed to both gain-of-function (GOF) and loss-of-function (LOF) variants, has emerged as a substantial and intricate area of research. This comprehensive review delves into the intricate details of the diverse clinical spectrum associated with STAT variants and the immunological findings linked to these genetic alterations. Although this review does not encompass the treatment of each individual disease, we discuss investigative approaches ranging from immunophenotyping assessment to evaluation of STAT protein activity. These investigations play a crucial role in identifying affected patients and understanding the complexities of STAT.

The link between bipolar disorder (BP) and immune dysfunction remains controversial. While epidemiological studies have long suggested an association, recent research has found only limited evidence of such a relationship. To clarify this, we performed an exploratory study of the contributions of immune-relevant genetic factors to the response to lithium (Li) treatment and the clinical presentation of BP. First, we assessed the association of a large collection of immune-related genes (4925) with Li response, defined by the Retrospective Assessment of the Lithium Response Phenotype Scale (Alda scale), and clinical characteristics in patients with BP from the International Consortium on Lithium Genetics (ConLi+Gen, N = 2374). Second, we calculated here previously published polygenic scores (PGSs) for immune-related traits and evaluated their associations with Li response and clinical features. Overall, we observed relatively weak associations (p < 1 × 10-4) with BP phenotypes within immune-related genes. Network and functional enrichment analyses of the top findings from the association analyses of Li response variables showed an overrepresentation of pathways participating in cell adhesion and intercellular communication. These appeared to converge on the well-known Li-induced inhibition of GSK-3ß. Association analyses of age-at-onset, number of mood episodes, and presence of psychosis, substance abuse and/or suicidal ideation suggested modest contributions of genes such as RTN4, XKR4, NRXN1, NRG1/3 and GRK5 to disease characteristics. PGS analyses returned weak associations (p < 0.05) between inflammation markers and the studied BP phenotypes. Our results suggest a modest relationship between immunity and clinical features in BP. More research is needed to assess the potential therapeutic relevance.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The implications of the genetic component in the initiation and development of chronic lymphoproliferative disorders have been the subject of intense research efforts. Some of the most important genes involved in the occurrence and evolution of these pathologies are the HLA genes. The aim of this study is to analyze, for the first time, possible associations between chronic lymphoproliferative diseases and certain HLA alleles in the Romanian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 38 patients with chronic lymphoproliferative disorders, diagnosed between 2021 and 2022 at Fundeni Clinical Institute, Bucharest, Romania, and 50 healthy controls. HLA class I and class II genes (HLA-A/B/C, HLA-DQB1/DPB1/DRB1) were investigated by doing high resolution genotyping using sequence specific primers (SSP). RESULTS: Several HLA alleles were strongly associated with chronic lymphoproliferative disorders. The most important finding was that the HLA-C*02:02 (p = 0.002, OR = 1.101), and HLA-C*12:02 (p = 0.002, OR = 1.101) have a predisposing role in the development of chronic lymphoproliferative disorders. Moreover, we identified that HLA-A*11:01 (p = 0.01, OR = 0.16), HLA-B*35:02 (p = 0.037, OR = 0.94), HLA-B*81:01 (p = 0.037, OR = 0.94), HLA-C*07:02 (p = 0.036, OR = 0.34), HLA-DRB1*11:01 (p = 0.021, OR = 0.19), and HLA-DRB1*13:02 (p = 0.037, OR = 0.94), alleles have protective roles. CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicates that HLA-C*02:02 and HLA-C*12:02 are positively associated with chronic lymphoproliferative disorders for our Romanian patients while HLA-DRB1*11:01, HLA-DRB1*13:02, and HLA-B*35:02 alleles have a protective role against these diseases.

Anthropogenic disturbance may increase the emergence of zoonoses. Especially generalists that cope with disturbance and live in close contact with humans and livestock may become reservoirs of zoonotic pathogens. Yet, whether anthropogenic disturbance modifies host-pathogen co-evolutionary relationships in generalists is unknown. We assessed pathogen diversity, neutral genome-wide diversity (SNPs) and adaptive MHC class II diversity in a rodent generalist inhabiting three lowland rainforest landscapes with varying anthropogenic disturbance, and determined which MHC alleles co-occurred more frequently with 13 gastrointestinal nematodes, blood trypanosomes, and four viruses. Pathogen-specific selection pressures varied between landscapes. Genome-wide diversity declined with the degree of disturbance, while MHC diversity was only reduced in the most disturbed landscape. Furthermore, pristine forest landscapes had more functional important MHC-pathogen associations when compared to disturbed forests. We show co-evolutionary links between host and pathogens impoverished in human-disturbed landscapes. This underscores that parasite-mediated selection might change even in generalist species following human disturbance which in turn may facilitate host switching and the emergence of zoonoses.

Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is a combination of obesity and sarcopenia, with diagnostic criteria defined as impaired skeletal muscle function and altered body composition (e.g., increased fat mass and reduced muscle mass). The mechanism of SO is not yet perfectly understood; however, the pathogenesis includes aging and its complications, chronic inflammation, insulin resistance (IR), and hormonal changes. Genetic background is apparent in the pathogenesis of isolated obesity, which is most often polygenic and is characterized by the additive effect of various genetic factors. The genetic etiology has not been strictly established in SO. Still, many data confirm the existence of pathogenic gene variants, e.g., Fat Mass and Obesity Associated Gene (FTO), beta-2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) gene, melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) and others with obesity. The literature on the role of these genes is scarce, and their role has not yet been thoroughly established. On the other hand, the involvement of systemic inflammation due to increased adipose tissue in SO plays a significant role in its pathophysiology through the synthesis of various cytokines such as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), IL-1Ra, IL-15, adiponectin or CRP. The lack of anti-inflammatory cytokine (e.g., IL-15) can increase SO risk, but further studies are needed to evaluate the exact mechanisms of implications of various cytokines in SO individuals. This manuscript analyses various immunogenetic and non-genetic factors and summarizes the recent findings on immunogenetics potentially impacting SO development.

Introducción: Las alteraciones en el estado redox celular se han descrito como factores causales en diversas enfermedades. La depleción del glutatión reducido se ha asociado fundamentalmente a enfermedades neurodegenerativas, pulmonares, hepáticas, cardiovasculares e inmunológicas. Objetivo: Determinar las concentraciones de glutatión reducido y el estado redox celular en pacientes pediátricos con inmunodeficiencias. Métodos: Se estudiaron 21 pacientes con inmunodeficiencias procedentes de la consulta de Inmunogenética, en edades comprendidas entre 1 y 8 años, de ambos sexos, y 8 niños en el mismo rango de edad de los pacientes, como grupo control, con estudios de inmunidad humoral y celular normales. Los pacientes con diagnóstico de inmunodeficiencia se dividieron para su estudio en 2 grupos según el componente afectado de la respuesta inmune: humoral y celular. Fueron determinadas las concentraciones intraeritrocitarias de glutatión reducido y oxidado, mediante un método de HPLC-UV. Para evaluar el estado redox celular se calculó la relación entre las formas reducidas y oxidadas del glutatión (GSH/GSSG). Resultados: Las concentraciones de glutatión reducido y el estado redox celular se encontraron disminuidos en ambos grupos de pacientes en relación con los niños sin inmunodeficiencia (p=0,031 y p=0,03; respectivamente). El glutatión oxidado no mostró diferencias entre los grupos. Conclusiones: En los pacientes con inmunodeficiencia se evidenció la afectación del estado redox celular como consecuencia de la disminución del glutatión reducido. Este primer acercamiento ofreció las potencialidades del empleo de estos biomarcadores en la evaluación integral de pacientes con inmunodeficiencia(AU)
Introduction: Alterations in the cellular redox state have been described as causal factors in various diseases. Reduced glutathione depletion has been fundamentally associated with neurodegenerative, pulmonary, liver, cardiovascular and immunological diseases. Objective: To determine the concentrations of reduced glutathione and the cellular redox status in pediatric patients with immunodeficiencies. Methods: We studied 21 patients with immunodeficiencies from the immunogenetic service, aged between 1 and 8 years and as a control group, 8 children in the same age range as the patients, with normal humoral and cellular immunity studies. Patients diagnosed with immunodeficiency were divided into two groups according to the affected component of the immune response: humoral and cellular. The intraerythrocyte concentrations of oxidized and reduced glutathione were determined by means of an HPLC-UV method. To evaluate the cellular redox state, the relationship between the reduced and oxidized forms of glutathione (GSH/GSSG) was calculated. Results: Reduced glutathione concentrations and cellular redox status were found to be decreased in both groups of patients in relation to children without immunodeficiency (p=0,031 and p=0,03; respectively). Oxidized glutathione showed no difference between the groups. Conclusions: In patients with immunodeficiency, the cellular redox state is affected as a consequence of the decrease in reduced glutathione. This first approach offers the potential for the use of these biomarkers in the comprehensive evaluation of patients with immunodeficiency(AU)

Las inmunodeficiencias primarias constituyen un grupo de más de 300 enfermedades frecuentemente graves y a menudo mortales que reflejan un déficit cuantitativo o cualitativo en uno o más componentes del sistema inmunitario. Son el resultado de defectos genéticos heredados que suelen afectar a 1 de cada 8000 a 10 000 nacidos vivos. Las manifestaciones clínicas suelen ser muy variadas, debido a que en su mayoría presentan una amplia heterogeneidad genética: infecciones (comunes recurrentes, comunes graves, o raras y graves), inflamación, autoinmunidad, malignidad o alergia. Teniendo en cuenta que a los profesionales médicos de diversas especialidades les resulta difícil identificar cuándo están en presencia de una IDP, nos proponemos describir las características clínicas, epidemiológicas, inmunitarias y genéticas de las inmunodeficiencias primarias. Para la realización de la revisión bibliográfica se utilizaron 27 referencias bibliográficas(AU)
Primary immunodeficiencies constitute a group of more than 300 frequently serious and often fatal diseases that reflect a quantitative and / or qualitative deficit in one or more components of the immune system. They are the result of inherited genetic defects that usually affect 1 in 8,000 to 10,000 live births. The clinical manifestations are usually very varied, because they mostly have a wide genetic heterogeneity, they can be caused by infections (common recurring, common serious, or rare and serious), inflammation, autoimmunity, malignancy, or allergy. Given that medical professionals of various specialties find it difficult to identify when they are in the presence of an primary immunodeficiency, it is proposed as an objective: to describe the clinical, epidemiological, immunological and genetic characteristics of Primary immunodeficiency. For the literature review, 27 bibliographic references were used(AU)
