Substance P Release by Sensory Neurons Triggers Dendritic Cell Migration and Initiates the Type-2 Immune Response to Allergens

Using a model of cutaneous allergen exposure, scientists showed that allergens directly activated TRPV1 + sensory neurons leading to itch and pain behaviors.

Exosomal LGALS9 in the Cerebrospinal Fluid of Glioblastoma Patients Suppressed Dendritic Cell Antigen Presentation and Cytotoxic T-Cell Immunity

Researchers found that glioblastoma multiforme-cerebrospinal fluid-exosomes (GBM-CSF-Exos) contained a unique protein, LGALS9 ligand, which bound to the TIM3 receptor of dendritic cells (DCs) in the CSF to inhibit antigen recognition, processing and presentation by DCs, leading to failure of the cytotoxic T-cell-mediated antitumor immune response.

PPARα Inhibition Overcomes Tumor-Derived Exosomal Lipid-Induced Dendritic Cell Dysfunction

Emerging evidence indicates that the tumor microenvironment induces immune dysfunctional tumor-infiltrating DCs (TIDCs), characterized with both increased intracellular lipid content and mitochondrial respiration. Scientists report that fatty acid-carrying tumor-derived exosomes induce immune dysfunctional DCs to promote immune evasion.

Selective SIRPα Blockade Reverses Tumor T Cell Exclusion and Overcomes Cancer Immunotherapy Resistance

Scientists report a potent synergy between selective SIRPα blockade and immune checkpoint blockade in increasing memory T cell responses and reverting exclusion in syngeneic and orthotopic tumor models.

Expression of Leukotriene B4 Receptor 1 Defines Functionally Distinct DCs That Control Allergic Skin Inflammation

By generating Leukotriene B4 (LTB4)-producing enzyme LTA4H knockout mice and CD11c promoter-driven Cre recombinase-expressing BLT1 conditional knockout mice, researchers showed that the migration of BLT1hi dendritic cells exacerbated allergic contact dermatitis.
