    TOP STORY

    IL-3 Receptor Signaling Suppresses Chronic Intestinal Inflammation by Controlling Mechanobiology and Tissue Egress of Regulatory T Cells

    Investigators determined IL-3 expression in samples from patients with inflammatory bowel disease and studied the impact of Il3 or Il3r deficiency on T cell-dependent experimental colitis.

    IL-2Rα-Biased Agonist Enhances Antitumor Immunity by Invigorating Tumor-Infiltrating CD25+CD8+ T Cells

    Researchers showed that both wild-type and interleukin-2 receptor-β/interleukin-2 receptor-γ (IL-2Rβγ)-attenuated agonists that preserved IL-2Rα activities could effectively expand tumor-specific CD8+ T cells.

    Abstract

    Antigen-Dependent IL-12 Signaling in CAR T Cells Promotes Regional to Systemic Disease Targeting

    Scientists described CAR T cells targeting tumor-associated glycoprotein-72, utilizing the CD28 transmembrane domain upstream of the 4-1BB co-stimulatory domain as a driver of potent anti-tumor activity and interferon gamma secretion.

    A Single-Cell Transcriptional Landscape of Immune Cells Shows Disease-Specific Changes of T Cell and Macrophage Populations in Human Achalasia

    The authors measured the immune cell transcriptional profile of paired lower esophageal sphincter tissue and blood samples in achalasia and controls using single-cell RNA sequencing.

    Abstract

    CSF1R Regulates Schizophrenia-Related Stress Response and Vascular Association of Microglia/Macrophages

    The authors tested whether the effector molecules expressed in microglia/macrophages were involved in schizophrenia via regulating stress susceptibility.

    Down-Regulation of Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) Expression and CD8+ T Cell Infiltration Depending on HER2 Heterogeneity in HER2-Positive Gastric Cancer

    Investigators evaluated the associations among the expressions of HER2, cyclic GMP–AMP synthase–STING, and the number of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes by considering HER2 heterogeneity in HER2-positive gastric cancer tissues.

    Abstract

    Inhibition of PI3K p110δ Activity Reduces IgE Production in IL-4 and Anti-CD40 Stimulated Human B Cell Cultures

    To investigate the effect of PI3K p110δ inhibition in the production of human IgE, scientists isolated human B cells from tonsil tissue and stimulated them with IL-4 and anti-CD40 antibody to induce class switching to IgE and IgG1 in the presence or absence of IC87114.

    CYLD Stimulates Macrophage Phagocytosis of Leukemic Cells through STAT1 Signaling in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    Researchers explored whether macrophage functions in healthy individuals and acute myeloid leukemia patients were influenced by tumor suppressor cylindromatosis (CYLD).

    CD1a and Bound Lipids Drive T Cell Responses in Human Skin Disease

    Scientists review studies showing that skin-derived αβ T cells directly recognize CD1a proteins, and certain bound lipids, such as contact dermatitis allergens, trigger T cell responses.
