Summary: This study found that COVID-19 patients experience a redistribution of monocyte subsets towards intermediate monocytes and a general decrease in circulating dendritic cells. Severe disease is associated with the appearance of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cell-like cells and a higher frequency of pre-DC2. The phenotypic alterations in mononuclear phagocytes are cell-lineage-specific and linked to the response against SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 severity.

Summary: The recruitment of pathogenic macrophages in Crohn's Disease (CD) patients with NOD2 risk alleles is believed to be caused by the recruitment of monocytes from the intestine. However, this study suggests that NOD2 may instead inhibit the differentiation of monocytes into macrophages from the bloodstream.

Summary: Tumor microparticles (T-MPs) are potential candidates for tumor vaccines, but the mechanism of how they stimulate anti-tumor immune response is not fully understood. This study demonstrates that T-MPs induce macrophages to release CCL2, attracting monocytes to the vaccine injection site and enhancing antigen endocytosis. The monocytes then differentiate into moDCs, presenting tumor antigens to T lymphocytes and promoting a strong anti-tumor immune response. Furthermore, T-MPs activate cGAS-STING signaling, upregulate IRF4 expression in monocytes, and confer the ability to treat tumors. This research provides insights into the development of novel vaccination strategies and the clinical application of T-MPs in oncotherapy.

Summary: In this study, the authors reviewed the biology of dendritic cells (DCs) in inborn errors of immunity (IEI) and discussed the role of DCs in clinical and immunological manifestations. They focused on severe immunodeficiency diseases, antibody deficiencies, combined immunodeficiency with associated and syndromic features, disorders of synapse formation, and disorders of immune regulation.

Summary: This study found that AIT treatment can induce changes in the composition and heterogeneity of circulating innate immune cells, bringing them to the level observed in healthy individuals. Monitoring of ILCs, monocytes, and DCs during AIT may serve as a novel biomarker strategy.

Summary: This study found that there is an increased number of dendritic cells (DCs) in the peritoneal cavity of endometriosis patients, with a decreased proportion of mature DCs and an increased proportion of immature DCs. Similar results were observed in a mouse model of endometriosis. These findings are important for further understanding the pathogenesis of endometriosis and providing new insights into medical treatment.

Summary: The study revealed that Bortezomib (BTZ) induces a procoagulant platelet phenotype, leading to increased phosphatidylserine (PS) and P-selectin expression levels, as well as depolarization of mitochondrial inner membrane potential in gel-filtered platelets (GFPs) compared to platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The presence of plasma proteins in PRP may attenuate the procoagulant effect of BTZ on platelets.

Summary: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by an imbalance between effector and regulatory immune responses. Inflammatory dendritic cells (inflDC) play a role in promoting inflammation in SLE, while tolerogenic dendritic cells (tolDC) suppress immune cell overreaction in SLE. Recent studies show the potential of tolDC therapy in treating autoimmune diseases including SLE, by inducing regulatory T cells and maintaining self tolerance.

Summary: The IgM/IgA enriched preparation Pentaglobin has a lower inhibitory effect on T cell activation and proliferation compared to standard IVIg, but it similarly reduces the activation of leukemic B cells through BCR. Additionally, Pentaglobin decreases venetoclax-induced apoptosis of T cells without impairing venetoclax-induced apoptosis of leukemic B cells.

Summary: This study found that ATF3 increased and regulated cell apoptosis in the process of bortezomib treatment, while being negatively regulated by miR-135a-5p. These results reveal the combinatorial regulatory patterns of ATF3 and miR-135a-5p in the regulatory protein interactome, indicating the clinical significance of the miR-135a-5p-ATF3 protein interaction network in bortezomib therapy.

Summary: This article summarizes the two major molecular mechanisms, antiproliferation and proapoptosis, of drugs used for treating multiple myeloma. It discusses the role of proteasome inhibitors, such as bortezomib, and immunomodulatory drugs, such as lenalidomide, in activating caspase-8 and promoting apoptosis of myeloma cells. The article also explores the regulation of proliferation and apoptosis by caspase-8 in myeloma cells, as well as future directions for caspase-8-based therapy for myeloma.

Summary: Despite the success of proteasome inhibitors (PIs) in treating hematopoietic malignancies, their clinical efficacy is limited in solid tumors. This study investigated the involvement of the integrated stress response (ISR) in determining the fates of cells treated with the proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib (Bz). ISRIB, a small molecule that restores protein translation during ISR, reversed the ISR induced by Bz in both multiple myeloma (MM) cells and breast cancer cells, resulting in different outcomes: protecting MM cells from apoptosis and enhancing Bz sensitivity in breast cancer cells through inducing paraptosis.
