Quantitative evaluation of aggregated lymphoid follicles in various compartments of the large intestine was carried out in Wistar rats of different age: newborn (3-4 days), prepubertal (20-30 days), adult (2-3 months), and old (16-18 months). No aggregated lymphoid tissue was detected in the large intestinal mucosa of newborn animals. The cecum of prepubertal, adult, and old animals contained solitary patches with 7-9 follicles. Higher percentage of aggregated lymphoid tissue, associated with colonic mucosa, was explained by enlargement of the lymphoid patch area and of the number of solitary lymphoid follicles during the postnatal ontogenesis. The mean area of a patch in the distal part of the colon in prepubertal, adult, and old animals was 3.2, 2.5, and 2.2 times larger than in the medial part of the intestine, the number of follicles per patch was 2.8, 2.8, and 2.5 times higher, respectively. The differences were significant only for the two younger groups.

Comparative Analysis of the Probiotic Features of Lysinibacillus and Enterobacter Strains Isolated from Gut Tract of Triploid Cyprinid Fish.

Curr Microbiol

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Developmental Biology of Freshwater Fish, Engineering Research Center of Polyploidy Fish Reproduction and Breeding of the State Education Ministry, College of Life Science, Hunan Normal University, Changsha, 410081, People's Republic of China.

Gut mucosal immunity of teleost is mainly governed by mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (MALT) and indigenous microbiota on mucosal surfaces of gut tract, which can confer protection against pathogenic invasion. However, the probiotic features of bacterial isolates from gut tract of triploid cyprinid fish (TCF) were largely unclear. In this study, Lysinibacillus and Enterobacter strains were isolated for probiotic identification.

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) are de novo ectopic lymphoid aggregates that regulate immunity in chronically inflamed tissues, including tumours. Although TLSs form due to inflammation-triggered activation of the lymphotoxin (LT)-LTβ receptor (LTβR) pathway, the inflammatory signals and cells that induce TLSs remain incompletely identified. Here we show that interleukin-33 (IL-33), the alarmin released by inflamed tissues, induces TLSs.

can persist asymptomatically within tissues for extended periods. This remarkable feat is achieved through intricate host-pathogen interactions in immune cell aggregates called granulomas, wherein find favorable cellular niches to exploit while the host limits its expansion and tissue dissemination. Here, using a mouse model of persistent infection, we identify a host-protective role of eosinophils in control of Typhimurium (Tm) infection within the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN), the main lymphoid tissue of Tm persistence.

Immune Biomarkers on Tissue Microarray Cores Support the Presence of Adjacent Tertiary Lymphoid Structures in Soft Tissue Sarcoma.

Immunotherapy has emerged as a new treatment modality in some soft tissue sarcomas, particularly for tumors associated with tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS). These structures are functional lymphoid aggregates, and their presence is indicative of an active anticancer immune response in the tumor microenvironment. The assessment of TLS as a predictive biomarker at scale on patient specimens remains challenging.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate the relationship between the histological characteristics of esophageal candidiasis and various clinical factors, highlighting instances where inflammation might not be present.
  • A review of 53 biopsy specimens revealed that acute inflammation was absent in about 38% of cases, and smoking significantly correlated with this absence of inflammation.
  • Findings suggest that smokers may experience a unique immunosuppressive effect in relation to esophagitis, as the inflammation was often missing in their biopsies compared to non-smokers.
