Type I and II Interferons Drive Abacavir Hypersensitivity via Treg Suppression and T-Cell Enhancement in Immunocompetent HLA-Transgenic Mice

[Allergy] Scientists highlight the distinct roles of IFN-α and IFN-γ in modulating an immune response against abacavir (APC), with IFN-γ increasing APC activity and IFN-α impairing Treg-mediated regulation in immune competent mice.

Transient Hepatic Reconstitution of Trophic Factors Enhances Aged Immunity

[Nature] Scientists showed that the liver can be transiently repurposed to restore age-diminished immune cues and improve T cell function in aged mice.

Pathogenic Role of IFNγ from Activated CD4+ T Cells in Lupus Model Mice Induced by Topical Treatment with Toll-Like Receptor Agonist Imiquimod

[Clinical and Experimental Immunology] Researchers explored the role of activated CD4⁺ T cells on the pathogenesis of lupus using systemic lupus erythematosus murine models induced by Toll like receptor 7 agonist imiquimod.

Immune Cell Regulation of Zebrafish Heart Regeneration

[Arteriosclerosis Thrombosis and Vascular Biology] The authors review the distinct contributions of neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphoid cells during zebrafish heart regeneration, with a focus on their temporal coordination and regulatory signaling pathways.

Immune Control of Functional Memory CD8 T Cells in Normal-Appearing Vitiligo Skin

[Science Advances] By combining cellular and transcriptomic approaches, researchers showed that common CD8+ T cell clusters with a similar transcriptional profile infiltrate NL and peri-lesional skin of patients with vitiligo.

Opposing Functions of Distinct Regulatory T Cell Subsets in Colorectal Cancer

[Immunity] Investigators examined the heterogeneity of tumoral Treg cells in colorectal cancer and identified two distinct tumoral Treg subsets with differential Il10 expression.

ImmuneWalk Therapeutics Announces Positive Results from Phase I SAD/MAD Study of IW-601, a First-In-Class Therapeutic with Broad Potential in Inflammatory and Autoimmune Diseases

[ImmuneWalk Therapeutics] ImmuneWalk Therapeutics announced positive results from the POINTGUARD study evaluating subcutaneously administered IW-601, a highly selective biologic inhibitor of myeloid cell tissue infiltration. The study met all primary and secondary endpoints, demonstrating safety and tolerability of IW-601 at all doses.

REV-ERB Regulates RORγT+ Regulatory T Cell Specification and Function through the Bhlhe40-C-Maf Axis

[Journal of Experimental Medicine] Scientists reported that transcriptional repressor REV-ERB was critical for the differentiation and function of colonic RORγt+Foxp3+ Treg cells.

Differential Effects of HDAC8 Targeting on Foxp3+ T-Regulatory Cells and Effector T-Cells Promote Anti-Tumor Immunity

[JCI Insight] Scientists demonstrate that knocking down or inhibiting HDAC8 impaired murine Treg suppressive function in vitro and in vivo, but promoted conventional host T cell responses, thereby limiting syngeneic tumor growth.

CD8+ Regulatory T Cells

[Annual Review of Immunology] Although the contribution of CD4+ Tregs to self-tolerance has been extensively studied, less attention has been given to CD8+ Tregs. Scientists review recent insights into the development, function, and potential clinical applications of this regulatory subset.

In Vivo CRISPR Screen Reveals Regulation of Macrophage States in Neuroinflammation

[Nature Neuroscience] The authors established an in vivo CRISPR screening pipeline using genetically editable progenitor cells to dissect macrophage regulation in mouse models of multiple sclerosis.

Sequential lymphotoxin-β Receptor and Retinoic Acid Receptor Signals Regulate cDC2 Fate

[Nature Immunology] Investigators established the developmental and transcriptional relationships between diverse type 2 conventional dendritic cell subsets and identified signals that regulate their prevalence in specific lymphoid tissues.

For over a decade, Immune Regulation News has been keeping the scientific community up-to-date with the latest research and reviews related to immune regulation. Key research areas covered include the roles of regulatory T cells (Treg cells) in autoimmunity and self-reactivity, as well as immune response to disease, transplantation and cancer. We also provide vital updates on the latest jobs and upcoming events in the field of immunology.
