    Cis Interactions between CD2 and Its Ligands on T Cells Are Required for T Cell Activation

    By generating new knockout mouse strains lacking CD2 or CD48 in the C57BL/6 background, scientists determined that whereas CD2 was necessary on T cells for T cell activation, its ligand CD48 was not required on antigen-presenting cells.

    lncRNA-GM Targets Foxo1 to Promote T Cell–Mediated Autoimmunity

    The authors reported that lncRNA-GM polarized T helper 17 differentiation but inhibited iTreg differentiation by reducing activity of Foxo1, a transcriptional factor thatwas important in inhibiting TH17 differentiation but promoting Treg generation.

    Profiling of Epigenetic Marker Regions in Murine ILCs under Homeostatic and Inflammatory Conditions

    Marker regions were located in genes with a described function for innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) , such as Tbx21, Gata3, or Il23r, but also in genes that have not been related to ILC biology.

    CDCP1 Regulates Retinal Pigmented Epithelial Barrier Integrity for the Development of Experimental Autoimmune Uveitis

    Investigators found that CDCP1 was present on both human and mouse retinal pigmented epithelial cells, a component of the blood-retina barrier, using a new anti-CDCP1 monoclonal antibody that they developed.

    Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Are Involved in Enhanced Contact Hypersensitivity Response in IL-36 Receptor Antagonist-Deficient Mice

    The authors examined the contact hypersensitivity (CHS) response and NET formation in Il36rn−/− mice. Il36rn−/− mice showed enhanced CHS responses, increased infiltration of inflammatory cells, including neutrophils, CD4+ T cells, and CD8+ T cells.

    Assessment of DNA Methylation in Porcine Immune Cells Reveals Novel Regulatory Elements Associated with Cell-Specific Gene Expression and Immune Capacity Traits

    Scientists performed whole-genome bisulfite sequencing to assess DNA methylation patterns in nine pig immune cell populations: CD21+ and CD21− B cells, four T cell fractions, natural killer and myeloid cells, and neutrophils.

    Elevated Apoptosis and Abnormal Apoptosis Signaling of Regulatory T Cells in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

    Researchers investigated the apoptosis rate of Tregs and their suppressive activity in patients with SLE and then to recognize the genes and signaling pathways that cause Treg apoptosis.
