    T Cells Specific for α-Myosin Drive Immunotherapy-Related Myocarditis

    Using single-cell RNA and T cell receptor sequencing of cardiac immune infiltrates from Pdcd1–/–MCtla4+/– mice, the authors identified clonal effector CD8+ T cells as the dominant cell population.

    Probiotic-Inspired Nanomedicine Restores Intestinal Homeostasis in Colitis by Regulating Redox Balance, Immune Responses, and the Gut Microbiome

    When orally administered, a probiotic-inspired nanomedicine adhered strongly to the mucus layer and restored intestinal redox balance and immune regulation homeostasis in a murine model of acute colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate.

    Abstract

    A Novel RIPK1 Inhibitor Reduces GVHD in Mice via a Non-Immunosuppressive Mechanism That Restores Intestinal Homeostasis

    Intestinal epithelial cells receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK3) cooperates with RIPK1 to trigger MLKL-independent production of T cell-recruiting chemokines and MHC class II molecules which amplify and sustain alloreactive T cell responses.

    Abstract

    Local IL-23 Is Required for Proliferation and Retention of Skin-Resident Memory TH17 Cells

    Investigators found that circulating memory T cells were dispensable for anamnestic protection from Candida albicans skin infection, and tissue-resident memory cell–mediated protection from C. albicans reinfection required IL–3.

    Neutrophil Breaching of the Blood Vessel Pericyte Layer during Diapedesis Requires Mast Cell-Derived IL-17A

    Using confocal intravital microscopy, investigators observed directed abluminal neutrophil motility along pericyte processes towards perivascular mast cells, a response that created neutrophil extravasation hotspots.

    Intestinal Toxicity to CTLA-4 Blockade Driven by IL-6 and Myeloid Infiltration

    Scientists found αCTLA-4 drove increased inflammation and colonic tissue damage in mice with genetic predisposition to intestinal inflammation, acute gastrointestinal infection, transplantation with a dysbiotic fecal microbiome, or dextran sodium sulfate administration.

    PIK3C3/VPS34 Helps School T Cells in the Thymus

    Researchers explored the contribution of the lipid kinase PIK3C3/VPS34 to the generation of positively selecting peptides in thymic epithelial cells.

    Abstract

    Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor Promotes Glucocorticoid Resistance of Neutrophilic Inflammation in a Murine Model of Severe Asthma

    Investigators examined whether sputum migration inhibitory factor protein correlated with clinical and molecular characteristics of severe neutrophilic asthma in the Unbiased Biomarkers for the Prediction of Respiratory Disease Outcomes cohort.

    Abstract

    Cardiac Myosin-Specific Autoimmune T Cells Contribute to Immune-Checkpoint-Inhibitor-Associated Myocarditis

    Scientists showed the development of myocarditis in A/J mice induced by anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody administration alone without tumor cell inoculation, immunization, or viral infection.

    CD8+ T Cell Metabolic Rewiring Defined by scRNA-Seq Identifies a Critical Role of ASNS Expression Dynamics in T Cell Differentiation

    The authors identified a differential time-dependent reliance of activating T cells on the synthesis versus uptake of various non-essential amino acids, which they corroborated with functional assays.

    Reprograming of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Immunosurveillance by a Microbial Probiotic Siderophore

    Researchers had identified that a probiotic strain (Lactobacillus casei) derived siderophore (ferrichrome) efficiently reprogramed tumor-associated macrophages and increased CD8+ T cell infiltration into tumors that paralleled a marked reduction in tumor burden in a syngeneic mouse model of pancreatic cancer.

    Multiomics Analysis Couples mRNA Turnover and Translational Control of Glutamine Metabolism to the Differentiation of the Activated CD4+ T Cell

    Using CD4+ T cells lacking Zfp36 and Zfp36l1, scientists combined the quantification of mRNA transcription, stability, abundance and translation with crosslinking immunoprecipitation and metabolic profiling to determine how they regulate T cell metabolism and differentiation.

    Death by TNF: A Road to Inflammation

    Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a central cytokine in inflammatory reactions, and biologics that neutralize TNF are among the most successful drugs for the treatment of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune pathologies.
