Lymphotactin-XCL1 is a chemokine produced mainly by activated CD8+ T-cells and directs migration of CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. We expressed human lymphotactin (LTN) by the lactic-acid bacterium Lactococcus lactis. Biological activity of LTN was confirmed by chemo-attraction of human T-cells by chemotaxis demonstrating, for the first time, how this chemokine secreted by a food-grade prokaryote retains biological activity and chemoattracts T lymphocytes. This strain thus represents a feasible well-tolerated vector to deliver active LTN at a mucosal level.

Background: Therapeutic efficacy of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells against colorectal cancer (CRC) remains limited due to the unique characteristics and distinct microenvironments of tumor tissues. We modified CEA-specific CAR-T cells, aiming to stimulate endogenous CD8 T cell responses against neoantigens that were derived from CEA-positive tumors destroyed by the CAR T cells.
Methods: In a conventional CEA CAR (reg-CAR), we modified it to express lymphotactin XCL1 and interleukin (IL)-7 genes, constructing a modified 7XCL1-CAR.

Article Synopsis
- * The review identifies various chemokines that contribute to obesity by triggering inflammation and affecting metabolism, highlighting the importance of immune cell recruitment.
- * Exercise has been shown to positively influence chemokine levels in obese individuals, suggesting that aerobic and resistance training could be effective strategies for improving metabolic health and reducing inflammation related to obesity.
Cathepsin W, T-cell receptor-associated transmembrane adapter 1, lymphotactin and killer cell lectin like receptor K1 are sensitive and specific RNA biomarkers of canine epitheliotropic lymphoma.

Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a rare lymphoma linked to malignant T cells in the skin, with canine epitheliotropic lymphoma (EL) being the most common form in dogs.
- The study aimed to find new biomarkers to differentiate EL from benign skin conditions and compared gene expression between human CTCL and canine EL using tissue samples from dogs.
- Results showed that certain gene signatures were higher in EL and identified specific biomarkers that could help distinguish it from other skin disorders, potentially aiding in disease prognosis and treatment in veterinary medicine.
Thermodynamic Evolution of a Metamorphic Protein: A Theoretical-Computational Study of Human Lymphotactin.

Metamorphic, or fold-switching, proteins feature different folds that are physiologically relevant. The human chemokine XCL1 (or Lymphotactin) is a metamorphic protein that features two native states, an [Formula: see text] and an all[Formula: see text] fold, which have similar stability at physiological condition. Here, extended molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, principal component analysis of atomic fluctuations and thermodynamic modeling based on both the configurational volume and free energy landscape, are used to obtain a detailed characterization of the conformational thermodynamics of human Lymphotactin and of one of its ancestors (as was previously obtained by genetic reconstruction).

Modulators of the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1PR) have been proposed as a promising strategy for treating stroke. However, the detailed mechanisms and the potential translational value of S1PR modulators for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) therapy warrant exploration. Using collagenase VII-S-induced ICH in the left striatum of mice, we investigated the effects of siponimod on cellular and molecular immunoinflammatory responses in the hemorrhagic brain in the presence or absence of anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies (Abs).
