Article Abstract
BT3 is a new family of immunoreceptors belonging to the extended B7 family. BT3 molecules are expressed on the surface of resting and activated monocytes and monocyte-derived dendritic cells (iDC). We show that BT3 cross-linking, in the absence of other survival factors, provides a survival signal for monocytes and iDC and induces up-regulation of costimulatory molecules, such as CD80 and CD86, and HLA-DR. We further analyzed the effects of BT3 cross-linking on various proinflammatory responses on monocytes and iDC. The results obtained showed that BT3 engagement is able to modulate the production of IL8/CXCL8, IL-1β and IL-12/p70. Moreover, we demonstrated a synergistic effect between BT3 and Toll-like receptors ligands on both monocytes and iDC in up-regulating the production of proinflammatory cytokines. Thus, BT3 could be involved in the regulation of the balance between immune activation and suppression. A better understanding of its physiological role of these families of receptors awaits the precise identification of the nature, origin, expression, and distribution of their ligands.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) promote immune evasion, cancer cell proliferation, and metastasis. Ongoing research is focused on finding ways to prevent tumor growth by inhibiting TAM polarization, which has shown a correlation with unfavorable prognosis in clinical studies. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma up-regulated factor (PAUF) is a protein secreted from pancreatic cancer (PC) and acts as a TME modulator that affects the TME by acting on not only cancer cells but also stromal cells and immune cells.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of the cannabinoid CB1 receptor in atherosclerosis using a transgenic mouse model, focusing on myeloid-specific CB1 signalling.
- Male Cnr1-deficient mice developed smaller atherosclerotic lesions and showed reduced inflammatory responses compared to controls, while differences in females were less significant.
- The findings suggest that impaired CB1 signalling in macrophages could be protective against atherosclerosis in males, with the effects being influenced by sex hormones like oestrogen.
The discriminatory diagnostic value of multimodal ultrasound combined with blood cell analysis for granulomatous lobular mastitis and invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast.

Objective: To explore the discriminatory diagnostic value of multimodal ultrasound(US) combined with blood cell analysis (BCA) for Granulomatous Lobular Mastitis (GLM) and Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) of the breast.
Methods: A total of 157 breast disease patients were collected and divided into two groups based on postoperative pathological results: the GLM group (57 cases with 57 lesions) and the IDC group (100 cases with 100 lesions). Differences in multimodal ultrasound features and the presence of BCA were compared between the two groups.
Interleukin-27-induced HIV-resistant dendritic cells suppress reveres transcription following virus entry in an SPTBN1, autophagy, and YB-1 independent manner.

Interleukin (IL)-27, a member of the IL-12 family of cytokines, induces human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-resistant monocyte-derived macrophages and T cells. This resistance is mediated via the downregulation of spectrin beta, non-erythrocytic 1 (SPTBN1), induction of autophagy, or suppression of the acetylation of Y-box binding protein-1 (YB-1); however, the role of IL-27 administration during the induction of immature monocyte-derived dendritic cells (iDC) is poorly investigated. In the current study, we investigated the function of IL-27-induced iDC (27DC) on HIV infection.
