RESUMEN

The differentiation of naive CD8+ T cells into effector cells is important for establishing immunity. However, the effect of heterogeneous naive CD8+ T cell populations is not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that steady-state naive CD8+ T cells are composed of functionally heterogeneous subpopulations that differ in their ability to differentiate into type 17 cytotoxic effector cells (Tc17) in a context of murine inflammatory disease models, such as inflammatory bowel disease and graft-versus-host disease. The differential ability of Tc17 differentiation is not related to T-cell receptor (TCR) diversity and antigen specificity but is inversely correlated with self-reactivity acquired during development. Mechanistically, this phenomenon is linked to differential levels of intrinsic TCR sensitivity and basal Suppressor of Mothers Against Decapentaplegic 3 (SMAD3) expression, generating a wide spectrum of Tc17 differentiation potential within naive CD8+ T cell populations. These findings suggest that developmental self-reactivity can determine the fate of naive CD8+ T cells to generate functionally distinct effector populations and achieve immense diversity and complexity in antigen-specific T-cell immune responses.

RESUMEN

Introduction: The classically defined two retinal microglia layers are distributed in inner and outer plexiform layers. Although there are some reports that retinal microglia are also superficially located around the ganglion cell layer (GCL) in contact with the vitreous, there has been a lack of detailed descriptions and not fully understood yet. Methods: We visualized the microglial layers by using CX3CR1-GFP (C57BL6) transgenic mice with both healthy and disease conditions including NaIO3-induced retinal degeneration models and IRBP-induced auto-immune uveitis models. Result: We found the GCL microglia has two subsets; peripheral (pph) microglia located on the retinal parenchyma and BAM (CNS Border Associated Macrophage) which have a special stretched phenotype only located on the surface of large retinal veins. First, in the pph microglia subset, but not in BAM, Galectin-3 and LYVE1 are focally expressed. However, LYVE1 is specifically expressed in the amoeboid or transition forms, except the typical dendritic morphology in the pph microglia. Second, BAM is tightly attached to the surface of the retinal veins and has similar morphology patterns in both the healthy and disease conditions. CD86+ BAM has a longer process which vertically passes the proximal retinal veins. Our data helps decipher the basic anatomy and pathophysiology of the retinal microglia in the GCL. Discussion: Our data helps decipher the basic anatomy and pathophysiology of the retinal microglia in the GCL.

RESUMEN

High neonatal susceptibility to meningitis has been attributed to the anatomical barriers that act to protect the central nervous system (CNS) from infection being immature and not fully developed. However, the mechanisms by which pathogens breach CNS barriers are poorly understood. Using the Armstrong strain of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) to study virus propagation into the CNS during systemic infection, we demonstrate that mortality in neonatal, but not adult, mice is high after infection. Virus propagated extensively from the perivenous sinus region of the dura mater to the leptomeninges, choroid plexus, and cerebral cortex. Although the structural barrier of CNS border tissues is comparable between neonates and adults, immunofluorescence staining and single-cell RNA sequencing analyses revealed that the neonatal dural immune cells are immature and predominantly composed of CD206hi macrophages, with major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII)hi macrophages being rare. In adults, however, perivenous sinus immune cells were enriched in MHCIIhi macrophages that are specialized for producing antiviral molecules and chemokines compared with CD206hi macrophages and protected the CNS against systemic virus invasion. Our findings clarify how systemic pathogens enter the CNS through its border tissues and how the immune barrier at the perivenous sinus region of the dura blocks pathogen access to the CNS.

RESUMEN

Commonly, epidermal inclusion cysts (EICs) are benign cutaneous lesions that are lined with stratified squamous epithelium and may occur in all body parts, including the breasts. EICs in the breast (EICB) are commonly encountered clinically; it may be under-reported because of their mild and non-specific clinical presentation. Malignant transformation of EICs is extremely rare, occurring 0.011%-0.045%. Presently, we report a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma arising from an EICB of a woman with invasive ductal carcinoma.

RESUMEN

Primary malignant melanoma in breast parenchyma (PMB) is an extremely rare disease, and the most common presentation is a palpable breast lump. To the best of our knowledge, a case of PMB presenting as a breast abscess has not been reported in English literatures. We present a case of PMB that manifested as a recurrent breast abscess in a 71-year-old woman. On MRI, an enhancing solid mass with a cystic or necrotic portion was revealed with some high signal intensities on precontrast-enhanced T1-weighted images and a dark rim on T2-weighed images. The MRI features played a pivotal role in identifying the underlying malignant condition and making an accurate diagnosis of this rare case of PMB with unusual clinical presentation.

RESUMEN

Membrane lipids control the cellular activity of kinases containing the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain through direct lipid-SH2 domain interactions. Here we report development of new nonlipidic small molecule inhibitors of the lipid-SH2 domain interaction that block the cellular activity of their host proteins. As a pilot study, we evaluated the efficacy of lipid-SH2 domain interaction inhibitors for spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk), which is implicated in hematopoietic malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). An optimized inhibitor (WC36) specifically and potently suppressed oncogenic activities of Syk in AML cell lines and patient-derived AML cells. Unlike ATP-competitive Syk inhibitors, WC36 was refractory to de novo and acquired drug resistance due to its ability to block not only the Syk kinase activity, but also its noncatalytic scaffolding function that is linked to drug resistance. Collectively, our study shows that targeting lipid-protein interaction is a powerful approach to developing new small molecule drugs.

RESUMEN

Although renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign tumor, treatment may be necessary occasionally because it can cause potentially life-threatening retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Transarterial embolization (TAE) is a safe and effective treatment option to prevent the hemorrhagic rupture of AMLs and relieve the symptoms caused by enlarged lesions or active bleeding. However, there is no clear consensus regarding the indications for prophylactic TAE in patients with sporadic renal AMLs. In urgent TAE for bleeding AMLs, there is a likelihood of incomplete embolization when the focus is on stabilizing the clinical symptoms. This pictorial essay discusses the patient selection and technical considerations to achieve optimal therapeutic effects as well as the follow-up findings after TAE.

RESUMEN

Animal models of retinal artery occlusion (RAO) have been widely used in many studies. However, most of these studies prefer using a central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) which is a typical global ischemia model of the retina, due to the technical limitation of producing single vessel targeted modeling with real-time imaging. A focal ischemia model, such as branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO), is also needed for explaining interactions, including the immunological reaction between the ischemic retina and adjacent healthy retina. Accordingly, a relevant model for clinical RAO patients has been demanded to understand the pathophysiology of the RAO disease. Herein, we establish a convenient BRAO mouse model to research the focal reaction of the retina. As a photo-thrombotic agent, Rose bengal was intravenously injected into 7 week-old transgenic mice (CX3CR1-GFP) for making embolism occlusion, which causes pathology similarly to clinical cases. In an optimized condition, a 561 nm laser (13.1 mw) was projected to a targeted vessel to induce photo-thrombosis for 27 s by custom-built retinal confocal microscopy. Compared to previous BRAO models, the procedures of thrombosis generation were naturally and minimal invasively generated with real-time retinal imaging. In addition, by utilizing the self-remission characteristics of Rose bengal thrombus, a reflow of the BRAO with immunological reactions of the CX3CR1-GFP+ inflammatory cells such as the retinal microglia and monocytes was monitored and analyzed. In this models, reperfusion began on day 3 after modeling. Simultaneously, the activation of CX3CR1-GFP+ inflammatory cells, including the increase of activation marker and morphologic change, was confirmed by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining and quantitative real-time PCR. CD86 and Nox2 were prominently expressed on day 3 after the modeling. At day 7, blood flow was almost restored in the large vessels. CX3CR1-GFP+ populations in both superficial and deep layers of the retina also increased around even in the BRAO peri-ischemic area. In summary, this study successfully establishes a reproducible BRAO modeling method with convenient capabilities of easily controllable time points and selection of a specific single vessel. It can be a useful tool to analyze the behavior of inflammatory cell after spontaneous arterial recanalization in BRAO and further investigate the pathophysiology of BRAO.

RESUMEN

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play critical roles in the first line of host defense against pathogens through recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns and initiation of the innate immune responses. The proper localization of TLRs in specific subcellular compartments is crucial for their ligand recognition and downstream signaling to ensure appropriate responses against pathogens while avoiding erroneous or excessive activation. Several TLRs, including TLR7 and TLR9 but not TLR4, depend on UNC93B1 for their proper intracellular localization and signaling. Accumulating evidence suggest that UNC93B1 differentially regulates its various client TLRs, but the specific mechanisms by which UNC93B1 controls individual TLRs are not well understood. Protein N-glycosylation is one of the most frequent and important post-translational modification that occurs in membrane-localized or secreted proteins. UNC93B1 was previously shown to be glycosylated at Asn251 and Asn272 residues. In this study, we investigated whether N-glycosylation of UNC93B1 affects its function by comparing wild type and glycosylation-defective mutant UNC93B1 proteins. It was found that glycosylation of Asn251 and Asn272 residues can occur independently of each other and mutation of neither N251Q or N272Q in UNC93B1 altered expression and localization of UNC93B1 and TLR9. In contrast, CpG DNA-stimulated TLR9 signaling was severely inhibited in cells expressing UNC93B1(N272Q), but not in cells with UNC93B1(N251Q). Further, it was found that glycosylation at Asn272 of UNC93B1 is essential for the recruitment of MyD88 to TLR9 and the subsequent downstream signaling. On the other hand, the defective glycosylation at Asn272 did not affect TLR7 signaling. Collectively, these data demonstrate that the glycosylation at a specific asparagine residue of UNC93B1 is required for TLR9 signaling and the glycosylation status of UNC93B1 differently affects activation of TLR7 and TLR9.

RESUMEN

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and the number of cancer patients is expected to continuously increase in the future. Traditional cancer therapies focus on inhibiting cancer growth while largely ignoring the contribution of the immune system in eliminating cancer cells. Recently, better understanding of immunological mechanisms pertaining to cancer progress has led to development of several immunotherapies, which revolutionized cancer treatment. Nonetheless, only a small proportion of cancer patients respond to immunotherapy and maintain a durable response. Among multiple factors contributing to the variability of immunotherapy response rates, commensal microbiota inhabiting patients have been identified as one of the most critical factors determining the success of immunotherapy. The functional diversity of microbiota differentially affects the host immune system and controls the efficacy of immunotherapy in individual cancer patients. Moreover, clinical studies have demonstrated that changing the gut microbiota composition by fecal microbiota transplantation in patients who failed a previous immunotherapy converts them to responders of the same therapy. Consequently, both academic and industrial researchers are putting extensive efforts to identify and develop specific bacteria or bacteria mixtures for cancer immunotherapy. In this review, we will summarize the immunological roles of commensal microbiota in cancer treatment and give specific examples of bacteria that show anticancer effect when administered as a monotherapy or as an adjuvant agent for immunotherapy. We will also list ongoing clinical trials testing the anticancer effect of commensal bacteria.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) are the main component of traffic-related air pollution and have been implicated in the pathogenesis and exacerbation of asthma. However, the mechanism by which DEP exposure aggravates asthma symptoms remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify a key cellular player of air pollutant-induced asthma exacerbation and development. METHODS: We examined the distribution of innate immune cells in the murine models of asthma induced by house dust mite and DEP. Changes in immune cell profiles caused by DEP exposure were confirmed by flow cytometry and RNA-Seq analysis. The roles of sialic acid-binding, Ig-like lectin F (SiglecF)-positive neutrophils were further evaluated by adoptive transfer experiment and in vitro functional studies. RESULTS: DEP exposure induced a unique population of lung granulocytes that coexpressed Ly6G and SiglecF. These cells differed phenotypically, morphologically, functionally, and transcriptionally from other SiglecF-expressing cells in the lungs. Our findings with murine models suggest that intratracheal challenge with DEPs induces the local release of adenosine triphosphate, which is a damage-associated molecular pattern signal. Adenosine triphosphate promotes the expression of SiglecF on neutrophils, and these SiglecF+ neutrophils worsen type 2 and 3 airway inflammation by producing high levels of cysteinyl leukotrienes and neutrophil extracellular traps. We also found Siglec8- (which corresponds to murine SiglecF) expressing neutrophils, and we found it in patients with asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap. CONCLUSION: The SiglecF+ neutrophil is a novel and critical player in airway inflammation and targeting this population could reverse or ameliorate asthma.

RESUMEN

Conventional deep learning (DL) algorithm requires full supervision of annotating the region of interest (ROI) that is laborious and often biased. We aimed to develop a weakly-supervised DL algorithm that diagnosis breast cancer at ultrasound without image annotation. Weakly-supervised DL algorithms were implemented with three networks (VGG16, ResNet34, and GoogLeNet) and trained using 1000 unannotated US images (500 benign and 500 malignant masses). Two sets of 200 images (100 benign and 100 malignant masses) were used for internal and external validation sets. For comparison with fully-supervised algorithms, ROI annotation was performed manually and automatically. Diagnostic performances were calculated as the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Using the class activation map, we determined how accurately the weakly-supervised DL algorithms localized the breast masses. For internal validation sets, the weakly-supervised DL algorithms achieved excellent diagnostic performances, with AUC values of 0.92-0.96, which were not statistically different (all Ps > 0.05) from those of fully-supervised DL algorithms with either manual or automated ROI annotation (AUC, 0.92-0.96). For external validation sets, the weakly-supervised DL algorithms achieved AUC values of 0.86-0.90, which were not statistically different (Ps > 0.05) or higher (P = 0.04, VGG16 with automated ROI annotation) from those of fully-supervised DL algorithms (AUC, 0.84-0.92). In internal and external validation sets, weakly-supervised algorithms could localize 100% of malignant masses, except for ResNet34 (98%). The weakly-supervised DL algorithms developed in the present study were feasible for US diagnosis of breast cancer with well-performing localization and differential diagnosis.

RESUMEN

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the current pandemic disease, is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Type I and III interferons (IFNs) are innate cytokines that are important in the first-line defense against viruses. Similar to many other viruses, SARS-CoV-2 has evolved mechanisms for evading the antiviral effects of type I and III IFNs at multiple levels, including the induction of IFN expression and cellular responses to IFNs. In this review, we describe the innate sensing mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 and the mechanisms used by SARS-CoV-2 to evade type I and III IFN responses. We also discuss contradictory reports regarding impaired and robust type I IFN responses in patients with severe COVID-19. Finally, we discuss how delayed but exaggerated type I IFN responses can exacerbate inflammation and contribute to the severe progression of COVID-19.

RESUMEN

The microphthalmia-associated transcription factor family (MiT family) proteins are evolutionarily conserved transcription factors that perform many essential biological functions. In mammals, the MiT family consists of MITF (microphthalmia-associated transcription factor or melanocyte-inducing transcription factor), TFEB (transcription factor EB), TFE3 (transcription factor E3), and TFEC (transcription factor EC). These transcriptional factors belong to the basic helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper (bHLH-LZ) transcription factor family and bind the E-box DNA motifs in the promoter regions of target genes to enhance transcription. The best studied functions of MiT proteins include lysosome biogenesis and autophagy induction. In addition, they modulate cellular metabolism, mitochondria dynamics, and various stress responses. The control of nuclear localization via phosphorylation and dephosphorylation serves as the primary regulatory mechanism for MiT family proteins, and several kinases and phosphatases have been identified to directly determine the transcriptional activities of MiT proteins. In different immune cell types, each MiT family member is shown to play distinct or redundant roles and we expect that there is far more to learn about their functions and regulatory mechanisms in host defense and inflammatory responses.

RESUMEN

We report that a case of adult testicular granulosa cell tumor in a 40-year-old man who presented with a palpable testicular mass. The sectioned surface of the testis revealed a well-circumscribed, yellowish tan, solid mass with hemorrhagic foci. Histologically, the tumor was arranged in solid nests, trabeculae, gyriform, pseudopapillae and macro-and microfollicles in a fibrocollagenous stroma. The tumor cells were ovoid or carrot-shaped with scant cytoplasm and nuclear grooves. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were diffusely strongly positive for estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, androgen receptor, CD10, CD56, calretinin and vimentin, and multifocally positive for inhibin, synaptophysin and cytokeratin.

RESUMEN

Flagellin, a major structural protein of the flagellum found in all motile bacteria, activates the TLR5- or NLRC4 inflammasomedependent signaling pathway to induce innate immune responses. Flagellin can also serve as a specific antigen for the adaptive immune system and stimulate anti-flagellin antibody responses. Failure to recognize commensal-derived flagellin in TLR5-deficient mice leads to the reduction in antiflagellin IgA antibodies at steady state and causes microbial dysbiosis and mucosal barrier breach by flagellated bacteria to promote chronic intestinal inflammation. Despite the important role of anti-flagellin antibodies in maintaining the intestinal homeostasis, regulatory mechanisms underlying the flagellin-specific antibody responses are not well understood. In this study, we show that flagellin induces interferon-ß (IFN-ß) production and subsequently activates type I IFN receptor signaling in a TLR5- and MyD88-dependent manner in vitro and in vivo . Internalization of TLR5 from the plasma membrane to the acidic environment of endolysosomes was required for the production of IFN-ß, but not for other proinflammatory cytokines. In addition, we found that antiflagellin IgG2c and IgA responses were severely impaired in interferon-alpha receptor 1 (IFNAR1)-deficient mice, suggesting that IFN-ß produced by the flagellin stimulation regulates anti-flagellin antibody class switching. Our findings shed a new light on the regulation of flagellin-mediated immune activation and may help find new strategies to promote the intestinal health and develop mucosal vaccines.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of different types of mammography equipment on screening outcomes by comparing the performance of film-screen mammography (FSM), computed radiography mammography (CRM), and digital mammography (DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively enrolled 128756 sets of mammograms from 10 hospitals participating in the Alliance for Breast Cancer Screening in Korea between 2005 and 2010. We compared the diagnostic accuracy of the types of mammography equipment by analyzing the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) with a 95% confidence interval (CI); performance indicators, including recall rate, cancer detection rate (CDR), positive predictive value1 (PPV1), sensitivity, specificity, and interval cancer rate (ICR); and the types of breast cancer pathology. RESULTS: The AUCs were 0.898 (95% CI, 0.878-0.919) in DM, 0.860 (0.815-0.905) in FSM, and 0.866 (0.828-0.903) in CRM (p = 0.150). DM showed better performance than FSM and CRM in terms of the recall rate (14.8 vs. 24.8 and 19.8%), CDR (3.4 vs. 2.2 and 2.1 per 1000 examinations), PPV1 (2.3 vs. 0.9 and 1.1%), and specificity (85.5 vs. 75.3 and 80.3%) (p < 0.001) but not in terms of sensitivity (86.3 vs. 87.4 and 86.3%) and ICR (0.6 vs. 0.4 and 0.4). The proportions of carcinoma in situ (CIS) were 27.5%, 13.6%, and 11.8% for DM, CRM, and FSM, respectively (p = 0.003). CONCLUSION: In comparison to FSM and CRM, DM showed better performance in terms of the recall rate, CDR, PPV1, and specificity, although the AUCs were similar, and more CISs were detected using DM. The application of DM may help to improve the quality of mammography screenings. However, the overdiagnosis issue of CIS using DM should be evaluated.

RESUMEN

The microbiota regulate hematopoiesis in the bone marrow (BM); however, the detailed mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, we explored how microbiota-derived molecules (MDMs) were transferred to the BM and sensed by the local immune cells to control hematopoiesis under steady-state conditions. We reveal that MDMs, including bacterial DNA (bDNA), reach the BM via systemic blood circulation and are captured by CX3CR1+ mononuclear cells (MNCs). CX3CR1+ MNCs sense MDMs via endolysosomal Toll-like receptors (TLRs) to produce inflammatory cytokines, which control the basal expansion of hematopoietic progenitors, but not hematopoietic stem cells, and their differentiation potential toward myeloid lineages. CX3CR1+ MNCs colocate with hematopoietic progenitors at the perivascular region, and the depletion of CX3CR1+ MNCs impedes bDNA influx into the BM. Moreover, the abrogation of TLR pathways in CX3CR1+ MNCs abolished the microbiota effect on hematopoiesis. These studies demonstrate that systemic MDMs control BM hematopoiesis by producing CX3CR1+ MNC-mediated cytokines in the steady-state.

RESUMEN

The tetraspanin CD82 is a potent suppressor of tumor metastasis and regulates several processes including signal transduction, cell adhesion, motility, and aggregation. However, the mechanisms by which CD82 participates in innate immunity are unknown. We report that CD82 is a key regulator of TLR9 trafficking and signaling. TLR9 recognizes unmethylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) motifs present in viral, bacterial, and fungal DNA. We demonstrate that TLR9 and CD82 associate in macrophages, which occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and post-ER. Moreover, CD82 is essential for TLR9-dependent myddosome formation in response to CpG stimulation. Finally, CD82 modulates TLR9-dependent NF-κB nuclear translocation, which is critical for inflammatory cytokine production. To our knowledge, this is the first time a tetraspanin has been implicated as a key regulator of TLR signaling. Collectively, our study demonstrates that CD82 is a specific regulator of TLR9 signaling, which may be critical in cancer immunotherapy approaches and coordinating the innate immune response to pathogens.-Khan, N.
