AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focuses on the immune mechanisms behind treatment-free remission (TFR) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), highlighting the lack of defined correlations with CD8(+) T-cell types.
  • Researchers identified a new subset of CD8(+) T-cells called innate CD8(+) T-cells in CML patients who enjoyed TFR for over two years, showing a significant increase in their functionality compared to control and treated patients.
  • The findings suggest a positive relationship between the levels of innate CD8(+) T-cells and natural killer cells, indicating a potential new biomarker profile for successful TFR in CML patients.

Article Abstract

Immunological mechanisms of treatment-free remission (TFR) in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) are poorly defined and, to date, no correlation between successful TFR and CD8(+) T-cell subsets has been found. We analysed a new identified human subset of CD8(+) T-cells, namely innate CD8(+) T-cells, in CML patients with TFR ≥ 2 years. We demonstrated a dramatic increase of functionally active innate CD8(+) T-cells in these patients as compared to control subjects and patients in remission under tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Moreover, we found a positive correlation between frequencies of innate CD8(+) T-cells and natural killer cells, possibly representing a new innate biomarker profile of successful TFR.

Subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral (VAT) adipose tissue dysfunction during the obesity onset can lead to increased expression of inflammatory molecules, and consequently to immune cell infiltration. The aim was to deeply characterize the T cells, those infiltrating SAT and VAT, compared to peripheral blood (PB), in individuals undergoing bariatric surgery. Forty-two adult individuals were recruited, SAT and VAT samples were collected.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by recurrent eczematous lesions and severe itching, for which clinical treatments are limited. Selectively inhibiting Janus Kinase 3 (JAK3) and tyrosine kinase expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (TEC) family kinases is proposed as a promising strategy to treat AD with possible reduced side effects and enhanced efficacy. In this study, we developed a dual JAK3/TEC family kinase inhibitor ZZB, which demonstrated potent inhibitory activity with IC values of 0.

How a single, naive T cell can give rise to diverse progenies of effector and memory cells is not completely understood. One way to achieve this is by asymmetric cell division (ACD), characterized by an unequal distribution of cellular cargo, resulting in divergent daughter cells already after the first division-one being more destined to an effector and the other more to a memory fate. Here, we established two methods to analyze the relative distribution of the older "mother" centrosome and the younger "daughter" centrosome during the first cell division of activated CD8 T cells.

Purpose Pre-clinical studies have demonstrated direct influences of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) on the immune system. However, it remains unknown if connections between the peripheral ANS and immune system exist in humans and contribute to the development of chronic inflammatory disease. This study had three aims: 1.

Prostate cancer (PC) progresses from benign epithelium through pre-malignant lesions, localized tumors, metastatic dissemination, and castration-resistant stages, with some cases exhibiting phenotype plasticity under therapeutic pressure. However, high-resolution insights into how cell phenotypes evolve across successive stages of PC remain limited. Here, we present the Prostate Cancer Cell Atlas (PCCAT) by integrating ∼710,000 single cells from 197 human samples covering a spectrum of tumor stages.
