The impact of IL-10 and IL-17 on myeloid-derived suppressor cells in vitro and in vivo in a murine model of asthma
Eur J Immunol. 2024 Apr 23:e2350785. doi: 10.1002/eji.202350785. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMyeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) hold promise for clinical applications due to their immunosuppressive properties, particularly in the context of inflammation. In the present study, the number and immunosuppressive activity of MDSCs isolated from naïve Il10-/-, Il17-/-, and WT mice as control, as well as from house dust mite extract (HDM)-induced asthmatic Il10-/- and Il17-/- mice, were investigated. IL-10 deficiency increased the number of polymorphonuclear (PMN)-MDSCs in the lung, spleen, and bone marrow, without concu...

SARS-CoV-2 infection induces thymic atrophy mediated by IFN- γ in hACE2 transgenic mice
Eur J Immunol. 2024 Apr 24:e2350624. doi: 10.1002/eji.202350624. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPathogenic infections cause thymic atrophy, perturb thymic T-cell development, and alter immunological response. Previous studies reported dysregulated T-cell function and lymphopenia in coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). However, immunopathological changes in the thymus associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection have not been elucidated. Here, we report that SARS-CoV-2 infects thymocytes, and induces CD4+CD8+ (double positive; DP) T-cell apoptosis leading to thymic atrophy and loss of ...

Temporal associations of plasma levels of the secreted phospholipase A < sub > 2 < /sub > family and mortality in severe COVID-19
Eur J Immunol. 2024 Apr 23:e2350721. doi: 10.1002/eji.202350721. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrevious research suggests that group IIA-secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2-IIA) plays a role in and predicts lethal COVID-19 disease. The current study reanalyzed a longitudinal proteomic data set to determine the temporal relationship between levels of several members of a family of sPLA2 isoforms and the severity of COVID-19 in 214 ICU patients. The levels of six secreted PLA2 isoforms, sPLA2-IIA, sPLA2-V, sPLA2-X, sPLA2-IB, sPLA2-IIC, and sPLA2-XVI, increased over the first 7 ICU days in those who succumbed to the disease but ...

The immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A has an immunostimulatory function in CD8 < sup > + < /sup > T cells
Eur J Immunol. 2024 Apr 22:e2350825. doi: 10.1002/eji.202350825. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCyclosporin A is a well-established immunosuppressive drug used to treat or prevent graft-versus-host disease, the rejection of organ transplants, autoimmune disorders, and leukemia. It exerts its immunosuppressive effects by inhibiting calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), thus preventing its nuclear entry and suppressing T cell activation. Here we report an unexpected immunostimulatory effect of cyclosporin A in activating the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), ...

Cenicriviroc, a CCR2/CCR5 antagonist, promotes the generation of type 1 regulatory T cells
This study is the first to report that Cenicriviroc promotes Tr1 cell generation by up-regulating the signature of Tr1 cell transcription factors such as c-Maf, Prdm1, Irf-1, Batf, and EGR-2. Cenicriviroc displayed a protective effect in experimental colitis models by preventing body weight loss and intestinal inflammation and preserving epithelial barrier integrity. We show that Cenicriviroc induced IL-10 and inhibited the generation of pro-inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ, IL-17, IL-6, and IL-1β during colitis. Based on our data, we propose Cenicriviroc as a potential therapeutic in controlling tissue inflammation by inhib...
