Anti-correlation of KLRG1 and PD-1 expression in human tumor CD8 T cells.

Recently, combination checkpoint therapy of cancer has been recognized as producing additive as opposed to synergistic benefit due in part to positively correlated effects. The potential for uncorrelated or negatively correlated therapies to produce true synergistic benefits has been noted. Whereas the inhibitory receptors PD-1, CTLA-4, TIM-3, LAG-3, and TIGIT have been collectively characterized as exhaustion receptors, another inhibitory receptor KLRG1 was historically characterized as a senescent receptor and received relatively little attention as a potential checkpoint inhibitor target.

Introduction: Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) combined with intracranial hypertension is associated with a poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy and prognostic factors of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt in non-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) CM patients with intracranial hypertension.
Methodology: A total of 136 non-HIV CM patients with intracranial hypertension treated in our hospital from July 2010 to December 2019 were retrospectively included.
Dual neutralization of TGF-β and IL-21 regulates Th17/Treg balance by suppressing inflammatory signalling in the splenic lymphocytes of Staphylococcus aureus infection-induced septic arthritic mice.

Septic arthritis (SA) caused by Staphylococcus aureus is a severe inflammatory joint disease, characterized by synovitis accompanied with cartilage destruction and bone erosion. The available antibiotic treatment alone is insufficient to resolve the inflammation that leads to high rates of morbidity and mortality. Among the CD4 T helper lymphocytes, the Th17 and Tregs are key regulators of immune homeostasis.

Antigen recognition by CD8+ T-cell receptors (TCR) is crucial for immune responses to pathogens and tumors. TCRs are cross-reactive, a single TCR can recognize multiple peptide-Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) complexes. The study of cross-reactivity can support the development of therapies focusing on immune modulation, such as the expansion of pre-existing T-cell clones to fight pathogens and tumors.

These processes are believed to be significantly influenced by the tumor microenvironment through secretory factors and biased cell-cell interactions. To explore the manifestation of this influence, we used deep unbiased immunoglobulin profiling and systematically characterized the relationships between B cells in circulation, draining lymph nodes (draining LNs), and tumors in 14 patients with three human cancers.
