Summary: Hidradenitis suppurativa is a complex inflammatory disease with difficult therapeutic response prediction. This study investigated the relationship between IL-23 and sex hormones in HS and found that clinical response to IL-23 antagonism was associated with male gender, elevated testosterone, and decreased FSH levels. Differentially expressed genes and elevated levels of certain cells were also identified in responders. These potential biomarkers suggest potential targeted therapy for HS.

Summary: The study reveals that the IL-6-IL-27 complex exhibits stronger antiviral effects than individual subunits, mainly mediated by IL-27A subunit and IL-27 receptor alpha. This complex induces phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3, showing antiviral activity in host defense against viruses.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of endodontic-causative microorganisms on mononuclear cells. The presence of Actinomyces spp. and Streptococcus spp. was found to increase the percentage of CD14(+) cells. This demonstrates the role of the innate immune system in the pathogenesis of endodontic primary infections.

Summary: Interleukin 27 has both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory properties in autoimmunity. The anti-inflammatory effects of IL-27 are linked with inhibition of Th17 differentiation and IL-27 also inhibits IL-23-induced inflammation associated with myeloid cell infiltration in the joints and spleen. The IL-27 anti-inflammatory response is associated with reduced levels of myeloid cells in the spleen and bone marrow.

Summary: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting 2-3% of the global population, characterized by sharply demarcated erythematous and scaly skin lesions. The disease results from hyperproliferation and disturbed differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes provoked by immune mediators of the IL-23 and IL-17 pathway. Therapeutics targeting IL-23, IL-17, and IL-17RA have shown excellent efficacy in treating psoriasis.

Summary: This study examines the role of N. fowleri-derived extracellular vesicles (Nf-EVs) in host-pathogen interactions. The results show that Nf-EVs can induce macrophage responses by upregulating the expression of costimulatory molecules and cytokine production, but have no effect on macrophage apoptosis. These findings reveal the potential role of Nf-EVs in mediating host immune cell activation and disease pathogenesis.

Summary: Viral infections trigger a distinct host response, with severe infections associated with increased hematopoiesis, myelopoiesis, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells. Protective and detrimental gene modules were identified to define different trajectories of outcomes, providing insights for the development of diagnostics and host-directed therapies to improve global pandemic preparedness.

Summary: IL-12 and IL-23 play a crucial role in intestinal homeostasis and inflammation, and are implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. Monoclonal antibodies targeting IL-12 and/or IL-23 have been developed for the treatment of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. This Review summarizes the biological characteristics of IL-12 and IL-23, discusses their role in intestinal homeostasis and inflammation, and highlights the development of drugs targeting IL-12 and/or IL-23.

Summary: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with psoriasis, with genetic predisposition playing a key role in its development. The IL-23/IL-17 axis is highlighted as important in the immunopathogenesis of PsA.

Summary: IL-23 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine composed of two subunits and has a key role in protective immune response, but dysregulation can exacerbate chronic immune-mediated inflammation. Activation of the IL-23/IL-17 axis contributes to the development of various inflammatory diseases.

Summary: The study evaluates the diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of biomarkers in neonatal sepsis in Sub Saharan Africa. Clinical variables combinations show similar diagnostic accuracy compared to biomarkers and superior to biomarkers alone. CD74, in association with IP-10 or clinical criterion, has the best accuracy in prognosing sepsis mortality.

Summary: This study revealed distinct differences in gene expression between synovial and skin tissues in PsA patients, particularly in the heterogeneous expression of the IL-23 axis. IL-23 transcriptomic/protein expression was strongly linked to patients with high-grade synovitis, aiding in identifying those who may respond better to IL-23 inhibitors.
