Sepsis is characterized by a concomitant early pro-inflammatory response by immune cells to an infection, and an opposing anti-inflammatory response that results in protracted immunosuppression. The primary pathological event in sepsis is widespread programmed cell death, or cellular self-sacrifice, of innate and adaptive immune cells, leading to profound immunological suppression. This severe immune dysfunction hampers effective primary pathogen clearance, thereby increasing the risk of secondary opportunistic infections, latent viral reactivation, multiple organ dysfunction, and elevated mortality.

The remarkable efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy in hematological malignancies has provided a solid basis for the therapeutic concept, wherein specific pathogenic cell populations can be eradicated by means of targeted recognition. During the past few years, CAR-based cell therapies have been extensively investigated in preclinical and clinical research across various non-tumor diseases, with particular emphasis in the treatment of autoimmune diseases (ADs), yielding significant advancements. The recent deployment of CD19-directed CAR T cells has induced long-lasting, drug-free remission in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other systemic AD, alongside a more profound immune reconstruction of B cell repertoire compared with conventional immunosuppressive agents and B cell-targeting biologics.

TOX Does Not Drive Sepsis-Induced T-Cell Exhaustion.

The immune system undergoes profound dysregulation in sepsis, characterized by hyperinflammation in the acute phase followed by long-lasting immunosuppression. T-cell exhaustion has been proposed as one facet of sepsis-related immunosuppression, which is characterized by impaired effector function and continuous expression of PD1. However, the current analysis of T-cell exhaustion in the post-sepsis is inadequate.

Patients treated with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy are subject to profound immune suppression. Dynamics of immune reconstitution (IR) and impacts of IR on outcomes following infusion across CAR-T products are not well understood. Here, we profiled IR in 263 patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma receiving CAR-T therapy (axicabtagene ciloleucel 44.

Diabetes is a known inducer of hepatic ultrastructural alterations, and the expression of the immune biomarker that involves in T-cell immunity, cluster of differentiation 86 (CD86) is increased in diabetic patients with liver cirrhosis. The antidiabetic drug metformin has not previously been used to protect against type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)-induced alternations in hepatic ultrastructure and the induction of the hepatic CD86/inflammation axis in diabetic animal models induced by streptozotocin and a high fat diet. To test our hypotheses, T2DM was induced in rats (model group) and the protective animals were treated with the antidiabetic drug metformin (200 mg/kg) until being sacrificed at week 12.
