Central memory T lymphocytes were reported to develop after acute but not chronic infection, which prompted this feasibility study on generating long-term CD8 T cells ex vivo, by applying a culture condition that simulates an acute infection. During 35 d of culture, naive T cells (CD45RA(+), CD127(+), CCR7(+), CD62L(+), CXCR3(+)) first developed into effector T cells (CD45RA(+/-), CD127(+/-), CCR7(+/-), CD62L(+), CXCR3(+)), followed by three intermediate stages: intermediate T cells 1 (CD45RO(+), CD127(+/-), CCR7(+), CD62L(+), CXCR3(+)), intermediate T cells 2 (CD45RO(+), CD127(-), CCR7(-), CD62L(+), CXCR3(+)), and intermediate T cells 3 (CD45RO(+/-), CD127(+), CCR7(+), CD62L(-), CXCR3(+)) before reverting to stable CD45RA(+) central memory T cells (CD45RA(+), CD127(+), CCR7(+), CD62L(+), CXCR3(+)). If both anti-CD3 and the inflammatory milieu persisted beyond day 10, intermediate T cells 2 gradually developed into effector memory T cells (CD45RO(+), CD127(-), CCR7(-), CD62L(-), CXCR3(+)). Furthermore, intermediate T cells 2 or effector memory T cells, when cultured in persistent inflammatory cytokines devoid of anti-CD3, were converted to central memory T cells (CD45RO(+), CCR7(+), CD62L(+)). Overall, these results support ex vivo memory-like T lymphocyte production and favor a developmental pathway including both divergent and linear relationships.

IL-18 primes T cells with an antigen-inexperienced memory phenotype for proliferation and differentiation into effector cells through Notch signaling.

Article Synopsis
- * IL-18 stimulation leads to these CD44high T cells activating important metabolic pathways, expressing various surface molecules, and promoting cell cycle progression, specifically moving through the G1/S phase.
- * The study indicates that IL-18 prepares CD44high T cells for growth and differentiation into effector cells, with evidence suggesting that Notch signaling plays a key role in this process, particularly in the context of tumor environments.
Trafficking circuit of CD8 T cells between the intestine and bone marrow governs antitumour immunity.

Immunotherapy elicits a systemic antitumour immune response in peripheral circulating T cells. However, the T cell trafficking circuit between organs and their contributions to antitumour immunity remain largely unknown. Here we show in multiple mouse leukaemia models that high infiltration of leukaemic cells in bone marrow (BM) stimulates the transition of CD8CD44CD62L central memory T cells into CD8CD44CD62L T cells, designated as inter-organ migratory T cells (T cells).

Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the role of VNN2 expression in monocytes and its importance in diagnosing primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS).
- - Researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry to analyze VNN2 levels in different monocyte types, finding that VNN2 is less expressed in pSS patients compared to healthy individuals.
- - Findings indicate that lower levels of VNN2 monocytes are linked with specific clinical indicators, suggesting VNN2 could serve as a useful diagnostic marker for pSS.
Alterations in exhausted and classical memory B cells in lupus nephritis - Relationship with disease relapse.

Introduction: B cell exhaustion is a functional abnormality of B lymphocytes observed in chronic infections and shows association with autoreactivity. The role of exhausted and classical memory B cells in maintaining disease stability of lupus nephritis (LN) remains unclear.
Methods: We measured classical memory (CD19CD21CD27), exhausted B cells (CD19CD21CD27), and related cytokines in LN patients with multiple relapses (MR) (n = 15) and no relapse (NR) (n = 15) during disease remission.
Deep Immunophenotyping of Circulating T and B Cells in Relapsing Adult-Onset Still's Disease.
Curr Issues Mol Biol

Article Synopsis
- - Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is an inflammatory disorder that mainly involves abnormal immune responses, but the role of T and B cells in the disease is still not well understood.
- - A study with 7 AOSD patients and 15 healthy individuals used deep flow cytometry to analyze T- and B-cell subsets, revealing significant alterations in these immune cells in AOSD patients compared to controls.
- - Notable findings include decreased Th2 cells, changes in CD8+ T cell types, and a dramatic drop in a specific B cell subset (CD5+CD27-), suggesting the need for further research to understand these immune changes in AOSD.
