Interleukin 1β (IL-1β) is critical for the in vivo survival, expansion and effector function of IL-17-producing helper T (T(H)17) cells during autoimmune responses, including experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). However, the spatiotemporal role and cellular source of IL-1β during EAE pathogenesis are poorly defined. In the present study, we uncovered a T cell-intrinsic inflammasome that drives IL-1β production during T(H)17-mediated EAE pathogenesis. Activation of T cell antigen receptors induced expression of pro-IL-1β, whereas ATP stimulation triggered T cell production of IL-1β via ASC-NLRP3-dependent caspase-8 activation. IL-1R was detected on T(H)17 cells but not on type 1 helper T (T(H)1) cells, and ATP-treated T(H)17 cells showed enhanced survival compared with ATP-treated T(H)1 cells, suggesting autocrine action of T(H)17-derived IL-1β. Together these data reveal a critical role for IL-1β produced by a T(H)17 cell-intrinsic ASC-NLRP3-caspase-8 inflammasome during inflammation of the central nervous system.

Immunological characterization of pleural effusions in pediatric patients.
Front Immunol
December 2024
Department of General Pediatrics and Neonatology, Saarland University, Campus Homburg, Homburg, Germany.
Background: The pleural cavity represents a unique immunological compartment that can mount inflammatory reactions during infections, after surgery and in chronic immunological diseases. The connection between systemic immune reactions in the blood and local immune reactions in pleural effusions remains unclear. This study provides the first comprehensive immunological characterization of paired blood and pleural effusion samples, utilizing combined cell and cytokine analyses in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Keratinocytes exosome participates in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and exosomes always carry long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) into target cells to function as an essential immune regulator in psoriasis-related diseases. LncRNA LOC285194 is closely associated with the occurrence of psoriasis. However, whether keratinocyte exosomal LOC285194 participates in the process of psoriasis remains vague.

Objective: To investigate serum TL1A levels and their correlation with Th17 cells, IL-17, and IL-21 in children with Graves' disease (GD).
Methods: Thirty-seven children (12 males and 25 females) aged 9-14 years with newly diagnosed and untreated GD were enrolled in this study. Serum TL1A, IL-17, and IL-21 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Mechanisms of gut homeostasis regulating Th17/Treg cell balance in PMOP.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a metabolic bone disease driven by estrogen deficiency, primarily manifesting as reduced bone mass and heightened fracture risk. Its development is intricately linked to the balance between Th17 and Treg cells. Recent studies have highlighted the significant role of gut homeostasis in PMOP.

Background/aim: Innate-like T lymphocytes are a recently defined group of T cells comprising mainly mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells. The relationship between MAIT cells and childhood asthma is controversial. In this study, we aimed to determine the role of MAIT cells in patients with allergic asthma (AA) and nonallergic asthma (NAA).
