Prognostic value of immunosuppression scores in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a multicenter study.

Introduction: The prognostic impact of human leukocyte antigen-E (HLA-E) expression and the proportion of natural killer (NK) cells in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) was investigated.
Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated 397 ESCC patients across two centers. The cumulative incidence of recurrence (CIR) and the incidence of tumor-related death (CID) were analyzed in various groups.
Background The role of specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles as a risk factor for susceptibility, protection, and response to cyclophosphamide (CYC) treatment has been studied in patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS). This study investigates the association of class II HLA alleles and the treatment outcome in children with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (SDNS) who were treated with CYC. Methods A total of 77 children who were diagnosed with SDNS and had received CYC at least a year before were enrolled.

Interferon (IFN)-γ is a central regulator of cell-mediated immunity in human health and disease, but reduced expression of the target receptors impairs signaling activity and leads to immunotherapy resistance. Although intracellular expression of IFN-γ restores the signaling and downstream functions, we lack the tools to activate the gene instead of cell surface receptors. This paper introduces the design and characterization of an artificial transcription factor (ATF) protein that recognizes the gene with six zinc finger domains, which are dovetailed to a VP64 signaling domain that promotes gene transcription and translation.

Front Immunol
January 2025
Adaptive Biotechnologies, Seattle, WA, United States.
Introduction: T cells are involved in the early identification and clearance of viral infections and also support the development of antibodies by B cells. This central role for T cells makes them a desirable target for assessing the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Methods: Here, we combined two high-throughput immune profiling methods to create a quantitative picture of the T-cell response to SARS-CoV-2.
HLA-G Polymorphisms of The 3'-UTR Region Are Involved in Susceptibility to Non-Infectious Uveitis.

Departamento de Inmunología, Oftalmología y ORL, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid, Spain.
Purpose: HLA-G is a non-classical HLA class I gene encoding a molecule endowed with immunomodulatory properties, playing important immunosuppressive and tolerogenic roles in immuno-privileged organs. Fluctuations in its expression levels have been correlated with the predisposition to autoinflammatory disorders, notably uveitis, characterized by inflammation of the uvea. In the present work, DNA was obtained from saliva samples of 147 Spanish patients with uveitis, with subsequent analysis focusing on the distribution of polymorphisms within the 3'UTR region of the gene (a region known to modulate the expression of the HLA-G molecule).
