CD8+ T-Cell Exhaustion Phenotype in Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection Is Associated With Epitope Sequence Variation

Sylwia Osuch, Tomasz Laskus, Karol Perlejewski, Hanna Berak, Iwona Bukowska-Osko, Agnieszka Pollak, Magdalena Zielenkiewicz, Marek Radkowski, Kamila Caraballo Cortes

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between T-cell exhaustion phenotype and NS3 viral immunodominant epitopes in chronic HCV infection. The results showed an interplay between viral epitope sequences and exhaustion phenotype of CD8(+) T-cells. The expression of PD-1/Tim-3 receptors was largely determined by viral epitope sequence, indicating the importance of evaluating autologous viral epitope sequences in the investigation of CD8(+) T-cell exhaustion in HCV infection.

Vinblastine resets tumor-associated macrophages toward M1 phenotype and promotes antitumor immune response

Yi-Na Wang, Yuan-Yuan Wang, Jin Wang, Wen-Juan Bai, Nai-Jun Miao, Jing Wang

Summary: This study investigates the effect of cellular morphology on macrophage polarization and antitumor response. It is found that the microtubule destabilizer VBL can drive macrophage polarization into the M1 phenotype. Mechanistically, VBL activates NF-κB and Cyba-dependent reactive oxygen species generation, inducing TAM polarization to the M1 phenotype. Additionally, VBL promotes transcription factor EB nuclear translocation, inducing lysosome biogenesis and enhancing phagocytic activity in macrophages.

An ocular Th1 immune response promotes corneal nerve damage independently of the development of corneal epitheliopathy

Alexia Vereertbrugghen, Manuela Pizzano, Florencia Sabbione, Irene Angelica Keitelman, Carolina Maiumi Shiromizu, Douglas Vera Aguilar, Federico Fuentes, Cintia S. de Paiva, Mirta Giordano, Analia Trevani, Jeremias G. Galletti

Summary: Proper sight depends on a smooth and transparent cornea, and corneal nerves play a crucial role in maintaining corneal integrity and immunoregulation. This study found that the type of immune response can influence the development of corneal neuropathy, with Th1-skewed immune response leading to corneal nerve damage. However, Th2-skewed immune response also resulted in mild corneal neuropathy, potentially due to adjuvant-induced neurotoxicity. These findings have implications for therapeutic interventions in ocular surface disorders.

Patients With Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Harbor High Frequencies of CD8 T Cell-Platelet Aggregates Associated With T Cell Suppression

Ana MicaelaCarnaz Simoes, Morten Orebo Holmstrom, Pia Aehnlich, Anne Rahbech, Aneta Radziwon-Balicka, Carlos Zamora, Tobias Wirenfeldt Klausen, Vibe Skov, Lasse Kjaer, Christina Ellervik, Daniel El Fassi, Silvia Vidal, Hans Carl Hasselbalch, Mads Hald Andersen, Per Thor Straten

Summary: This study investigates the frequencies of circulating platelet (PLT)-lymphocyte aggregates in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) patients and the impact of PLT binding on CD8 T cell function. The results show significantly higher frequencies of PLT-CD8 T cell aggregates in MPN patients and reduced proliferation and cytotoxic capacity in PLT-bound CD8 T cells. The findings suggest compromised CD8 T cell responses in MPN patients due to PLT binding, possibly contributing to disease progression and increased susceptibility to infections.

Summary: MAIT cells are a population of innate-like T cells greatly conserved across species, including cattle. They play important roles in immune responses to bacterial infections, particularly in mucosal tissues. Cattle MAIT cells show similarities with human and murine MAIT cells, indicating a potential role in zoonotic infections.

Phenotype of Mrps5-Associated Phylogenetic Polymorphisms Is Intimately Linked to Mitoribosomal Misreading

Reda Juskeviciene, Ann-Kristina Fritz, Margarita Brilkova, Rashid Akbergenov, Karen Schmitt, Hubert Rehrauer, Endre Laczko, Patricia Isnard-Petit, Kader Thiam, Anne Eckert, Jochen Schacht, David P. Wolfer, Erik C. Boettger, Dimitri Shcherbakov

Summary: A point mutation V336Y in mitoribosomal protein Mrps5 (uS5m) has been recently identified as a ribosomal ambiguity (ram) mutation causing error-prone mitochondrial protein synthesis. In transgenic knock-in animals, a homologous mutation V338Y is associated with a specific phenotype including impaired mitochondrial function, behavioral alterations, hearing damage, and accelerated metabolic aging in muscle. However, a homologous G -> R mutation in mitoribosomal Mrps5 did not affect the accuracy of mitochondrial protein synthesis, suggesting a challenge to the postulated link between Mrps5 V338Y-mediated misreading and the in vivo phenotype.

Wen-Bin Li, Nan-Xiang Shen, Chao Zhang, Huan-Cheng Xie, Zong-Yan Li, Li Cao, Li-Zhi Chen, Yuan-jin Zeng, Cui-Xia Fan, Qian Chen, Yi-Wu Shi, Xing-Wang Song

Summary: This study identified three novel PANK2 mutations and found that early-onset patients had a higher frequency of biallelic loss-of-function mutations and more severe phenotypes. Additionally, patients with missense mutations in the mitochondrial trafficking domain of the PANK2 gene had the earliest age of onset.

Dramatic Response to Pyrotinib and T-DM1 in HER2-Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer With 2 Activating HER2 Mutations

Hao Tian, Man Qu, Guozhi Zhang, Long Yuan, Qiyun Shi, Yinhuan Wang, Ying Yang, Yi Zhang, Xiaowei Qi

Summary: HER2 signaling is activated in response to somatic HER2 mutations, which are associated with poor prognosis in invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC). Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have shown promising efficacy in patients with HER2-mutated advanced breast cancer (BC). A case study suggests that a combination of irreversible TKIs and ADCs may be a potential treatment option for HER2-negative/HER2-mutated advanced BC.

Summary: This study developed a miniaturized library preparation protocol called Mini-XT, which is more cost-effective for sequencing SARS-CoV-2 genomes. The protocol reduces library preparation reagent volumes and overall tip usage while maintaining sequencing quality. Validation through sequencing a large number of samples demonstrated that Mini-XT has comparable sequencing quality and lineage calling results to standard protocols.

Summary: This study used RNA-Seq technology to explore the transcriptomic changes of TGF-beta 2 in normal human trabecular meshwork cells, identifying differentially expressed genes and associated pathways that contribute to the pathogenesis of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). The study revealed the involvement of ECM regulation, TGF-beta signaling, proliferation/apoptosis, inflammation/wound healing, MAPK signaling, oxidative stress, and RHO signaling pathways in POAG. Additionally, the study identified novel genes and pathways affected by TGF-beta 2 treatment, suggesting potential new therapeutic targets.

Summary: The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants with mutations in the spike glycoprotein, particularly in the N-terminal domain (NTD) flexible loops, has significant implications for viral transmission and immune response. Variations in NTD loop length can impact virus entry and may provide a mechanism for the virus to adapt and optimize its functionality in a complex selection environment.

In vivo single-cell transcriptomics reveal Klebsiella pneumoniae skews lung macrophages to promote infection

Amy Dumigan, Oisin Cappa, Brenda Morris, Joana Sa Pessoa, Ricardo Calderon-Gonzalez, Grant Mills, Rebecca Lancaster, David Simpson, Adrien Kissenpfennig, Jose A. Bengoechea

Summary: This study investigates a novel mechanism by which the human pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae counteracts host defense by skewing lung macrophage polarization. The authors found that Klebsiella hijacks a TLR-type I IFN-IL10-STAT6 axis to rewire macrophages and promote its intracellular survival. Additionally, glycolysis and capsule polysaccharide were identified as key factors governing the macrophage polarization induced by Klebsiella. This research provides important insights into the understanding of bacterial infections and the development of therapeutic strategies.
