Background: Histamine is an important mediator of allergic diseases. It modulates the cytokine expression of various subtypes of antigen-presenting cells by four known receptors, H1R-H4R. The effects of histamine on myeloid dendritic cells (mDC) are unclear.
Methods: Monocytes and mDC were isolated from human PBMC. Histamine receptor expression was evaluated by real-time PCR. Cells were stimulated with histamine and histamine receptor ligands, and restimulated with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C), and supernatants were analyzed by protein array and ELISA.
Results: Monocytes and mDC express H1R and H2R without significant differences between the two cell types, whereas H4R mRNA was significantly higher in mDC compared with monocytes and H3R mRNA was not detected in any cell type. Prestimulation with histamine caused a significant decrease in poly I:C-induced expression of interferon-γ-induced protein (IP-10) in mDC and monocytes. Stimulation with specific H1R, H2R and H4R agonists and antagonists showed that the observed effect was mediated via H2R and H4R in monocytes and mDC.
Conclusion: Monocytes and mDC have similar histamine receptor repertoires with regard to H1R, H2R and H3R, but H4R expression is higher on mDC. Histamine stimulation shows similar functional effects on both cell types, i.e., downregulation of TLR3-induced IP-10 production. This might be a new mechanism how histamine fosters a Th2 milieu.

Aims/introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes that can lead to poor vision and blindness. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of action of miR-130a-3p in DR progression.
Materials And Methods: In this study, we administered a single intraperitoneal injection of 100 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ) to construct a DR mouse model, and induced a human monocyte cell line (THP-1) to differentiate into M0 macrophages, after which the M0 macrophages were cultured with 30 mM high glucose (HG) as a model of inflammation.

Background: Thermal ablation (TA), including radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and Microwave ablation (MWA) could reduce tumor burden and can stimulate an immune response, but it cannot maintain a lasting immune response. The alarming cytokine IL-33 is constitutively expressed by epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts, but is released during tissue injury to alert the immune system. The presence of ST2Tregs in TME may act as a barrier contributing to this phenomenon.

Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Ethiopia, caused by the Leishmania aethiopica parasite, shows multiple clinical forms that are not linked to genetic differences in the parasite's genome or variations in immune system responses among patients.
- A study analyzed genetic data from 48 parasite isolates and immune signatures from 129 CL patients, finding no significant associations between the genetic variants or immune markers and the different clinical presentations of CL.
- The research concluded that while there were some differences in chemokines when comparing CL patients to healthy controls, the overall immune response did not significantly vary between the clinical forms of CL.

Background: Translating findings from animal models to human disease is essential for dissecting disease mechanisms, developing and testing precise therapeutic strategies. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has highlighted this need, particularly for models showing disease severity-dependent immune responses.
Methods: Single-cell transcriptomics (scRNAseq) is well poised to reveal similarities and differences between species at the molecular and cellular level with unprecedented resolution.

: Immune cells from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients display a reduced in vitro response to (), which may have functional immune consequences. The aim of this study was to characterize, by flow cytometry, the frequency/activity of monocytes and naturally occurring myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) in peripheral blood samples from patients with periodontitis and patients with periodontitis and RA. : The relative frequency of monocytes and mDCs in the whole blood, the frequency of these cells producing TNFα or IL-6 and the protein expression levels for each cytokine, before and after stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from plus interferon-γ (IFN-γ), were assessed by flow cytometry, in peripheral blood samples from 10 healthy individuals (HEALTHY), 10 patients with periodontitis (PERIO) and 17 patients with periodontitis and RA (PERIO+RA).
