    Distinct Synovial Tissue Macrophage Subsets Regulate Inflammation and Remission in Rheumatoid Arthritis

    Investigators used single-cell transcriptomics to profile 32,000 synovial tissue macrophages and identified phenotypic changes in patients with early/active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), treatment-refractory/active RA and RA in sustained remission.

    Eosinophils Regulate Adipose Tissue Inflammation and Sustain Physical and Immunological Fitness in Old Age

    The authors showed that adipose tissue eosinophils underwent major age-related changes in distribution and function associated with impaired adipose tissue homeostasis and systemic low-grade inflammation in both humans and mice.

    Abstract

    Th1 Responses In Vivo Require Cell-Specific Provision of OX40L Dictated by Environmental Cues

    Scientists demonstrated that provision of OX40L by dendritic cells, but not T cells, B cells nor group 3 innate lymphoid cells, was critical specifically for the effector Th1 response to an acute systemic infection with Listeria monocytogenes.

    Cholesterol Metabolism Drives Regulatory B Cell IL-10 through Provision of Geranylgeranyl Pyrophosphate

    Researchers demonstrated that the induction of a regulatory program in human B cells was dependent on a metabolic priming event driven by cholesterol metabolism.

    miR-21 Antagonism Abrogates Th17 Tumor Promoting Functions in Multiple Myeloma

    The authors found that early inhibition of miR-21 in naive T cells impaired IL-17 producing CD4+ T cell (Th17) differentiation in vitro and abrogated Th17-mediated multiple myeloma cell proliferation and osteoclasts activity.

    Abstract

    Impaired Estrogen Signaling Underlies Regulatory T Cell Loss-of-Function in the Chronically Inflamed Intestine

    Using a strain of congenic SAMP mice engineered to lack global expression of ERβ, investigators observed dramatic, female-specific exacerbation of intestinal inflammation accompanied by significant reductions in intestinal regulatory T cell frequency and function.

    Abstract

    CXCL5 Promotes Gastric Cancer Metastasis by Inducing Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Activating Neutrophils

    The authors report that the expression of CXCL5 was elevated in tumor tissues and positively associated with lymphatic metastasis and tumor differentiation.

    Pulmonary Paracoccidioidomycosis in AhR Deficient Hosts Is Severe and Associated with Defective Treg and Th22 Responses

    The lungs of AhR−/− mice showed increased presence Th17 cells concomitant with reduced numbers of Th1, Th22 and Foxp3+ Treg cells.

    Metabolism of Immune Cells in Cancer

    Through the successes of checkpoint blockade and adoptive cellular therapy, immunotherapy has become an established treatment modality for cancer.
    [Nature Reviews Cancer]

    Abstract

    Cell Death in Chronic Inflammation: Breaking the Cycle to Treat Rheumatic Disease

    Scientists outline pathways for the major cell death programs and their potential roles in chronic inflammation. They also discuss current and developing therapies that target the cell death machinery.

    Abstract

    The Interplay between Innate Lymphoid Cells and T Cells

    Scientists discuss the diversity of functional interactions between T cells and ILCs during homeostasis and immune responses.
