    Tumor Immune Rejection Triggered by Activation of α2-Adrenergic Receptors

    The authors showed that agonists of α2-adrenergic receptors (α2-AR) had very strong anti-tumor activity when used as monotherapies in multiple immunocompetent tumor models, including immunecheckpoint blockade-resistant models, but not in immunodeficient models.

    Neuroprotective Protein ADNP-Dependent Histone Remodeling Complex Promotes T Helper 2 Immune Cell Differentiation

    To better understand transcriptional regulation of T helper 2 cell differentiation, researchers performed CRISPR-Cas9 screens targeting 1,131 transcription factors. They discovered that activity-dependent neuroprotector homeobox protein was indispensable for immune reactions to allergen.

    Clearance of Senescent Macrophages Ameliorates Tumorigenesis in KRAS-Driven Lung Cancer

    Through single cell transcriptomics, investigators identified a population of tumor-associated macrophages that expressed a unique array of pro-tumorigenic senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors and surface proteins and were also present in normal aged lungs.

    Defining Blood-Induced Microglia Functions in Neurodegeneration through Multiomic Profiling

    Researchers established an unbiased blood-innate immunity multiomic and genetic loss-of-function pipeline to define the transcriptome and global phosphoproteome of blood-induced innate immune polarization and its role in microglia neurotoxicity.

    Distant Antimetastatic Effect of Enterotropic Colon Cancer–Derived α4β7+CD8+ T Cells

    The presence of concomitant colon tumors improved control of liver lesions by anti–PD-L1 proof-of-concept immunotherapy and generated protective immune memory, whereas partial depletion of α4β7+ cells abrogated control of metastases.

    Abstract

    Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone Signaling Promotes Th17 Cell Differentiation and Autoimmune Inflammation

    Growth hormone releasing hormone receptor activated the JAK-STAT3 pathway, increased the phosphorylation of STAT3, enhanced both non-pathogenic and pathogenic Th17 cell differentiation, and promoted the gene expression signatures of pathogenic Th17 cells.

    miR-142-3p Encapsulated in T Lymphocyte-Derived Tissue Small Extracellular Vesicles Induces Treg Function Defect and Thyrocyte Destruction in Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

    In vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to elucidate the function and potential mechanisms of small extracellular vesicle microRNAs that contributed to the development of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

    IL-3 Orchestrates Ulcerative Colitis Pathogenesis by Controlling the Development and the Recruitment of Splenic Reservoir Neutrophils

    Scientists reported that interleukin-3 (IL-3)-deficient mice were more susceptible and exhibited increased intestinal inflammation during the early stage of experimental colitis.

    A Treg-Specific Long Noncoding RNA Maintains Immune-Metabolic Homeostasis in Aging Liver

    Mechanistically, Altre interacted with Yin Yang 1 to orchestrate its occupation on chromatin, thereby regulating the expression of a group of mitochondrial genes, and maintaining optimal mitochondrial function and Treg fitness in the liver of aged mice.
