Regulatory T cells (Tregs) require IL-2 for survival in the periphery, yet how IL-2 shapes Treg heterogeneity remains poorly defined. Here we show that inhibition of IL-2R signaling in post-thymic Tregs leads to a preferential early loss of circulating Tregs (cTregs). Gene expression of cTregs was more dependent on IL-2R signaling than effector Tregs (eTregs).

Background: Peanut allergy (PA) is one of the most prevalent food allergies with a lack of favorable safety/efficacy treatment. A cucumber mosaic virus-like particle expressing peanut allergen component Ara h 2 (VLP Peanut) has been developed as a novel therapeutic approach for PA.

Objective: We assessed the tolerogenic properties and reactivity of VLP Peanut.

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) plays an important role in avian ovarian follicle development. The high mRNA expression of AMH in avian ovarian prehierarchical follicles helps prevent premature granulosa cell differentiation. Vitamin D3 was reported to downregulate AMH mRNA expression in granulosa cells of prehierarchical follicles in hens; however, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unknown.

Purpose: Activating T cell costimulatory receptors is a promising approach for cancer immunotherapy. In preclinical work, adding an OX40 agonist to in situ vaccination (ISV) with SD101, a TLR9 agonist, was curative in a mouse model of lymphoma. We sought to test this combination in a Phase I clinical trial for patients with low-grade B cell lymphoma.

Article Synopsis
  • Current kidney transplant regimens often struggle to prevent antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) in sensitized individuals, leading to graft failure.
  • Research showed that anti-CD154 monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment for kidney transplants in nonhuman primates was more effective at controlling rejection and post-transplant immune responses than standard tacrolimus-based therapy.
  • The anti-CD154-treated group had significantly longer survival rates, better suppression of harmful antibodies, and fewer complications post-transplant, suggesting that anti-CD154 mAbs could enhance outcomes in sensitized kidney transplant patients.
