Article Abstract
Objective: Regulatory B cells that inhibit immune responses through interleukin-10 (IL-10) secretion (B10 cells) have been characterized in adult subjects with autoimmune disease. The aim of this study was to characterize B10 cells in individuals across the entire age range of normal human development and changes in their frequency and numbers in children with autoimmunity.
Methods: The phenotype and numbers of B10 cells in blood were examined in healthy individuals and children with autoimmunity, using flow cytometry. B10 cell function was assessed by measuring the effect of B cell-derived IL-10 on interferon-γ (IFNγ) expression by CD4+ T cells. Serum cytokine levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: The frequency of B10 cells transiently increased during childhood, when up to 30% of B cells were competent to produce IL-10, compared with the low frequencies in healthy newborns (3-4%) and adults (7-9%). The surface phenotype of B10 cells in children revealed age-dependent variability. B10 cells from children were distinct from proinflammatory cytokine-producing B cells and down-regulated IFNγ production by CD4+ T cells in vitro. Compared with age-matched healthy controls, children with autoimmunity had lower numbers and frequencies of B10 cells (decreased by 39% and 48%, respectively), higher IFNγ levels, and lower IL-21 levels in serum. IFNγ inhibited, whereas IL-21 promoted, B cell IL-10 competence in vitro.
Conclusion: B10 cells, a functionally defined cell subset with a variable surface phenotype reflective of overall B cell development, transiently expand during childhood. B10 cell frequencies and numbers were decreased in children with autoimmunity, which may be explained in part by alterations in serum IFNγ and IL-21 that differentially regulate B10 cell development.

Introduction: Chronic alcohol consumption and tobacco usage are major risk factors for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Excessive tobacco and alcohol consumption lead to oxidative stress and the generation of reactive carbonyl species (RCS) which induce DNA damage and cell apoptosis. This phenomenon contributes to cell damage and carcinogenesis in various organs including ESCC.

The pathobiont Staphylococcus aureus (Sa) induces nonprotective antibody imprints that underlie ineffective staphylococcal vaccination. However, the mechanism by which Sa modifies antibody activity is not clear. Herein, we demonstrate that IL-10 is the decisive factor that abrogates antibody protection in mice.

Metabolic rewiring is required for cancer cells to survive in harsh microenvironments and is considered to be a hallmark of cancer. Specific metabolic adaptations are required for a tumor to become invasive and metastatic. Cell division and metabolism are inherently interconnected, and several cell cycle modulators directly regulate metabolism.

Cellular immunotherapy represents a pivotal treatment modality in clinical practice. Regulatory B cells (Bregs), a key subset of B lymphocytes, hold promise in the management of autoimmune diseases, cancer and transplantation immunity. The expansion of Bregs for cell therapy is a promising strategy to alleviate inflammation and promote immune tolerance.

We and others have observed that CA2 neurons exhibit a uniquely robust tropism for adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) of multiple serotypes and variants. In this study, we aimed to systematically investigate the propensity for AAV tropism toward CA2 across a wide range of AAV serotypes and variants, injected either intrahippocampally or systemically, including AAV1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, DJ, PHP.
