    γδ T Cells Regulate the Intestinal Response to Nutrient Sensing

    To investigate how nutrient uptake is regulated in the small intestine, scientists tested the effect of diets with different macronutrient compositions on epithelial gene expression.
    [Science]

    Abstract

    Structure-Based Decoupling of the Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Functions of Interleukin-10

    Interleukin-10 (IL-10) variants with a range of IL-10 receptor β binding strengths uncovered substantial differences in response thresholds across immune cell populations, providing a means of manipulating IL-10 cell type selectivity.
    [Science]

    Abstract

    Graft-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Transported across Subcapsular Sinus Macrophages Elicit B Cell Alloimmunity after Transplantation

    Researchers demonstrated that migration of donor leukocytes out of skin or heart allografts is not necessary for B or T cell allosensitization in mice.

    Abstract

    RNA-Seq of Human T Cells after Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Identifies Linc00402 as a Regulator of T Cell Alloimmunity

    Linc00402 was increased in donor T cells from patients who underwent allogeneic cardiac transplantation and in murine T cells.

    Abstract

    Recruited Macrophages that Colonize the Post-Inflammatory Peritoneal Niche Convert into Functionally Divergent Resident Cells

    Investigators showed that macrophages elicited into the peritoneal cavity during mild inflammation persist long-term but were retained in an immature transitory state of differentiation due to the presence of enduring resident macrophages.

    Immune Suppressive Activity of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in Cancer Requires Inactivation of the Type I Interferon Pathway

    The natural mechanisms limiting myeloid-derived suppressor cells activity are not well understood. Scientists present evidence that type I interferons receptor signaling serves as a universal mechanism that restricts acquisition of suppressive activity by these cells.

    Mapping the Immune Microenvironment for Mandibular Alveolar Bone Homeostasis at Single-Cell Resolution

    Researchers constructed a single-cell atlas of mouse mandibular alveolar bone through single-cell RNA sequencing. A more active immune microenvironment was identified in alveolar bone, with a higher proportion of mature immune cells than in long bone.

    Inhibition of xCT Suppresses the Efficacy of Anti-PD-1/-L1 Melanoma Treatment through Exosomal PD-L1 Induced Macrophage M2 Polarization

    Scientists demonstrated that although inhibition of xCT either by pharmacological inhibitor or genetic knockdown induced ROS-related death in melanoma cells, inhibition of xCT significantly reduced the efficacy of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockade through upregulating PD-L1 expression via the transcription factors IRF4/EGR1.

    KDM6B-Dependent Chromatin Remodeling Underpins Effective Virus-Specific CD8+ T Cell Differentiation

    The authors profiled genome-wide changes in chromatin accessibility, gene transcription, and the deposition of a key chromatin modification early after naive CD8+ T cell activation.

    Full ArticleGraphical Abstract

    Antigen Presentation between T Cells Drives Th17 Polarization under Conditions of Limiting Antigen

    Researchers investigated the functional outcome of T-T cell antigen presentation by CD4 T cells and found that the antigen-presenting T cells (Tpres) predominantly differentiated into Treg cells, whereas T cells that were stimulated by Tpres cells predominantly differentiated into Th17 pro-inflammatory cells.

    Full ArticleGraphical Abstract

    Interleukin-7 Protects CD8+ T Cells from Adenosine-Mediated Immunosuppression

    Scientists found that interleukin-7 signaling promoted the accumulation of tumor-associated CD8+ T cells, in part, by preventing adenosine-mediated immunosuppression.

    Protein N-Myristoylation: Functions and Mechanisms in Control of Innate Immunity

    Researchers describe the current understanding of protein N-myristoylation and summarize its crucial roles in regulating innate immune responses, including TLR4-dependent inflammatory responses and demyristoylation-induced innate immunosuppression during Shigella flexneri infection.

    Emerging Role of RNA Modification N6-Methyladenosine in Immune Evasion

    The authors discuss studies revealing the immune evasion mechanism by N6-methyladenosine modification, which underlies the retouching of these signaling networks and the rapid tolerance of innate and adaptive immune molecules during disease.
