    Genetic Tracing Reveals Transcription Factor Foxp3-Dependent and Foxp3-Independent Functionality of Peripherally Induced Treg Cells

    The authors used genetic tracing to identify microbiota-induced peripheral Treg cells and found that many of their distinguishing features were Foxp3 independent.

    Macrophage-NLRP3 Activation Promotes Right Ventricle Failure in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

    Investigators evaluated the contribution of the NLRP3 inflammasome in right ventricular (RV)-macrophages to pulmonary arterial hypertension-RV failure.

    Delivery of an Ectonucleotidase Inhibitor with ROS-Responsive Nanoparticles Overcomes Adenosine-Mediated Cancer Immunosuppression

    Researchers demonstrated that tumor microenvironment reprogramming set the stage for response to anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) immunotherapy, and the combination resulted in tumor regression in a 4T1 breast cancer mouse model that was resistant to PD1 blockade.

    Steroid Nuclear Receptor Coactivator 2 Controls Immune Tolerance by Promoting Induced Treg Differentiation via Up-Regulating Nr4a2

    Steroid nuclear receptor coactivator 2 (SRC2) was dispensable for the development of thymic Tregs, whereas naive CD4+ T cells from mice deficient of SRC2 specific in Tregs displayed defective Treg differentiation.

    Fumarate Suppresses B Cell Activation and Function through Direct Inactivation of LYN

    The authors demonstrated that B Cell activation reprogramed the tricarboxylic acid cycle and boosted the expression of fumarate hydratase, leading to decreased cellular fumarate abundance.

    Ursodeoxycholic Acid Reduces Antitumor Immunosuppression by Inducing CHIP-Mediated TGF-β Degradation

    Scientists showed that the clinically approved compound ursodeoxycholic acid, by degrading TGF-β, enhanced antitumor immunity through restraining Treg cell differentiation and activation in tumor-bearing mice.

    A Long-Acting Interleukin-7, rhIL-7-hyFc, Enhances CAR T Cell Expansion, Persistence, and Anti-Tumor Activity

    Investigators demonstrated that a long-acting form of recombinant human interleukin-7 fused with hybrid Fc (rhIL-7-hyFc) promoted proliferation, persistence, and cytotoxicity of human CAR T cells in xenogeneic mouse models and murine CAR T cells in syngeneic mouse models, resulting in long-term tumor-free survival.

    Context-Dependent Effects of IL-2 Rewire Immunity into Distinct Cellular Circuits

    Scientists developed a novel mouse strain to divert IL-2 production, allowing identification of contextual outcomes. Network analysis identified priority access for Tregs and a competitive fitness cost of IL-2 production among both Tregs and conventional CD4 T cells.

    Regional Infusion of a Class C TLR9 Agonist Enhances Liver Tumor Microenvironment Reprogramming and MDSC Reduction to Improve Responsiveness to Systemic Checkpoint Inhibition

    Researchers reported that regional intravascular infusion of ODN2395 into mice with liver metastasis partially eliminated liver myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and reprogrammed residual MDSC.

    JAK2 Gene Knockout Inhibits Corneal Allograft Rejection in Mice by Regulating Dendritic Cell-Induced T Cell Immune Tolerance

    The authors investigated whether JAK2 gene knockout affected corneal allograft rejection through regulation of dendritic cell-induced T cell immune tolerance.

    Emerging Therapies to Target CNS Pathophysiology in Multiple Sclerosis

    The authors provide an overview of selected emerging therapies that predominantly target processes within the central nervous system (CNS) that are thought to be involved in limiting non-relapsing, progressive disease injury or promoting tissue repair.

    Mechanisms of Joint Destruction in Rheumatoid Arthritis — Immune Cell-Fibroblast-Bone Interactions

    To understand the mechanisms of bone damage in rheumatoid arthritis, it is important to clarify how the immune system promotes the tissue-destructive properties of synovial fibroblasts and influences bone cells.

    Abstract

    Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Bioactive Lipids Imbalance Contributes to the Pathobiology of Autoimmune Diseases

    There is evidence to suggest that autoimmune diseases can be suppressed by anti-inflammatory bioactive lipids LXA4, resolvins, protecting, and maresins.
