Summary: This review focuses on the mechanisms of inflammasome activation and their role in the development of Th1, Th2, and Th17 lymphocytes. The contribution of cytokines released from activated inflammasomes to the immune response is summarized, along with the discussion of the role of cytokines released from tissue cells in promoting lymphocyte differentiation.

Summary: The immune response in the asthmatic respiratory tract is driven by CD4(+) T helper cells, especially Th2 cells. Asthma is a heterogeneous and progressive disease, with different stages of the disease course showing different immune responses. The complex immune networks in the inflammatory airway make it challenging to find a universal treatment for all asthmatics.

Summary: Plants rich in hydrolyzable tannins have traditionally been used for the treatment of chronic inflammatory disorders. However, limited knowledge of their immunological targets hinders their rational use in phytotherapy. Recent advances in understanding the pathogenesis of inflammatory-based diseases provide an opportunity to elucidate the pharmacological mechanisms of these plant-derived metabolites with immunomodulatory activity. This review summarizes recent articles on the role of hydrolyzable tannins and their gut metabolites in various inflammatory responses.

Summary: This study explores the expression and clinical significance of Th1/Th2/Th17 cytokines and lymphocyte subsets in patients with Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). The results show significant differences in cytokines and lymphocyte subsets between PCNSL patients, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients, and healthy controls. These findings provide valuable information for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of PCNSL.

Summary: The study found that GMK achieves a similar effect as dexamethasone in controlling symptoms of allergic asthma and inhibiting inflammation, reconstructs the immune balance of Th1/Th2 and Treg/Th17 cells, and impacts asthma treatment by altering gut microbiota. Metabolome results reveal specific substances associated with Th1/Th2 and Treg/Th17 cell balance.

Summary: Despite long-term control efforts, hepatic coccidiosis caused by Eimeria stiedai infection remains persistent in rabbits in China. This study provides the first evidence of changes in Th1/Th2/Treg/Th17/Th9/Th21 cells in rabbits infected with E. stiedai, offering insights into immune regulation mechanisms and potential vaccine development.

Summary: The study successfully developed GAN-OMV, which can stimulate Th1/Th2/Th17 immune responses against Bb and provide a promising strategy for novel vaccine development against the microbial pathogen. GAN-OMV showed a stable core-shell structure and effectively internalized into macrophages through multiple endocytotic pathways, promoting cell proliferation, cytokine secretion, and M1 polarization. Subcutaneous GAN-OMV vaccination significantly enhanced specific antibody production, lymphocyte proliferation, and the production of Th1/Th2/Th17 cytokines.

Summary: Alopecia areata is characterized by dysregulation of various systemic cytokines including Th1, Th2, and Th17. The severity and duration of the disease are positively correlated with elevated levels of certain cytokines, while others may serve as potential predictors of therapeutic efficacy.

Summary: The aim of this study was to identify an active phytochemical from Schisandra chinensis and evaluate its effects on AD-like symptoms. The results showed that alpha-cubebenoate, an active phytochemical in Schisandra chinensis, significantly improved AD-like symptoms by reducing skin hypertrophy and mast cell accumulation, as well as decreasing pro-inflammatory chemokine and cytokine levels. This study provides evidence for the therapeutic efficacy of alpha-cubebenoate in the treatment of AD symptoms.

Summary: Synthetic antibody technologies are efficient for generating monoclonal antibodies against human antigens, but they often rely on purified proteins excluding integral membrane proteins. CellectSeq is an antibody discovery strategy targeting integral membrane proteins, using in situ cell-based selections, next-generation sequencing, and motif-based scoring to identify antibodies with high diversities and specificities.

Summary: This study reveals that STAT5 is a crucial regulator of energy and amino acid metabolism in CD4+ T helper cells, and it plays a role in transcriptional regulation of key enzymes and transporters. Additionally, STAT5 interacts with the mTOR signaling pathway and MYC transcription factor to regulate T-cell metabolism.

Summary: T cells adapt their metabolism to meet the energetic and biosynthetic demands, which is controlled by cytokines such as PI3K-AKT, mTOR, ERK-MAPK pathways, and JAK-STAT signaling. This review discusses how JAK-STAT influences T cell metabolism, focusing on adaptations required for naive, effector, regulatory, memory, and resident-memory states. JAK-STAT has both direct and indirect effects, regulating metabolism-related genes and instructing genes encoding upstream or regulatory factors. Cytokines impact various metabolic processes, including lipid, amino acid, and nucleotide synthesis, glycolysis, glutaminolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, and fatty acid oxidation.

Summary: The study found that increased recycling of integrins and matrix after corneal injury leads to the accumulation of extracellular fibronectin. Overexpression of integrins can promote the internalization and recycling of extracellular fibronectin, altering the composition of extracellular fibronectin.
