Aims: Immune checkpoint blockade has made breakthroughs in immunotherapy for glioma. However, current immunotherapy has therapeutic benefits only in a subset of patients and accompanied by immune-related side effects. SLAMF8 is a costimulatory molecule that affects the activation of macrophages in inflammation. The study of SLAMF8 may provide new information for immunological research and treatment of glioma.
Methods: CGGA and TCGA cohorts of 946 patients with RNA sequencing data and full clinical information were analyzed using R language and GraphPad Prism 7.
Results: SLAMF8 was overexpressed along with malignancy progression and was a biomarker of mesenchymal subtype. As an independent prognostic factor, high SLAMF8 conferred reduced overall survival and chemotherapy resistance. SLAMF8 implied lower proportion of cancer cells along with increasing enrichment of monocytic lineage, myeloid dendritic cells. Functional analysis showed higher SLAMF8 indicated activation of antigen processing and presenting and the IFN-γ/TNF/TLR-mediated signaling. Meanwhile, coexpressing with classical checkpoint SLAMF8 aggravated immunosuppression and enhanced inflammation response.
Conclusion: Our study highlighted the important role of SLAMF8 in malignancy progression, shortened survival, and immune disorders. Further research on SLAMF8 in immunosuppression and inflammation response to glioma cells could aid immunotherapy for glioma.

Repetitive Acinetobacter baumannii pneumonia induces infection tolerance in mice.
Microb Pathog

College of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, 8th Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital (PLA Medical School), Beijing, China. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- - Some long-term lung infection patients show a phenomenon known as pathogen tolerance, prompting researchers to explore this in a mouse model of pneumonia by infecting mice with Acinetobacter baumannii multiple times.
- - Results indicated that after three infections, inflammatory factors decreased and lung tissue damage lessened, suggesting a form of tolerance developed in these mice.
- - Further analysis revealed increased expression of genes related to T cell regulation and a rise in regulatory T cells, indicating that repeated infections may lead to immune suppression that contributes to this tolerance.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of SLAMF8 in bone healing by analyzing its effects on inflammatory responses and osteogenesis in mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mBMSCs).
- Researchers utilized GEO datasets and various molecular techniques to assess how SLAMF8 influences genes related to bone formation (like RUNX2 and COL1A1) and fat formation (like PPARγ).
- Results showed that knocking down SLAMF8 reduced bone formation and increased fat formation in mBMSCs, while its overexpression enhanced bone healing in a femoral fracture model.

Sex-specific blood-derived RNA biomarkers for childhood tuberculosis.
Sci Rep
July 2024
Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, V6T 1Z3, Canada.
Confirmatory diagnosis of childhood tuberculosis (TB) remains a challenge mainly due to its dependence on sputum samples and the paucibacillary nature of the disease. Thus, only ~ 30% of suspected cases in children are diagnosed and the need for minimally invasive, non-sputum-based biomarkers remains unmet. Understanding host molecular changes by measuring blood-based transcriptomic markers has shown promise as a diagnostic tool for TB.

Objectives: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) can accelerate atherosclerosis (AS) plaque formation. High prevalence of AS has been demonstrated in early-stage RA patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need to investigate what mechanisms and key molecules accelerate AS in RA to improve the management of RA.
