Neutrophil-directed motility is necessary for host defense, but its dysregulation can also cause collateral tissue damage. Actinopathies are monogenic disorders that affect the actin cytoskeleton and lead to immune dysregulation. Deficiency in ARPC1B, a component of the Arp2/3 complex, results in vascular neutrophilic inflammation; however, the mechanism remains unclear. Here, we generated human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neutrophils (denoted iNeutrophils) that are deficient in ARPC1B and show impaired migration and a switch from forming pseudopodia to forming elongated filopodia. We show, using a blood vessel on a chip model, that primary human neutrophils have impaired movement across an endothelium deficient in APRC1B. We also show that the combined deficiency of ARPC1B in iNeutrophils and endothelium results in further reduction in neutrophil migration. Taken together, these results suggest that ARPC1B in endothelium is sufficient to drive neutrophil behavior. Furthermore, the findings provide support for using the iPSC system to understand human neutrophil biology and model disease in a genetically tractable system.

Platelets are small, discoid, anucleate blood cells that play key roles in clotting and other functions involved in health and disease. Platelets are derived from bone marrow-resident megakaryocytes, which undergo a complex developmental process where they increase dramatically in size and produce an abundance of organelles destined for platelets. These organelles include mitochondria, lysosomes, peroxisomes, and 2 unique types of secretory organelles: α- and dense (δ-) granules.

Cytoskeletal network dysregulation is a pivotal determinant in various immunodeficiencies and autoinflammatory conditions. This report reviews the significance of actin remodeling in disease pathogenesis, focusing on the Arp2/3 complex and its regulatory subunit actin related protein 2/3 complex subunit 1B (ARPC1B). A spectrum of cellular dysfunctions associated with ARPC1B deficiency, impacting diverse immune cell types, is elucidated.

Article Synopsis
- Primary atopic disorders (PAD) are rare genetic conditions caused by specific gene variants that affect skin and immune function, making diagnosis challenging among common allergic disease cases.
- Identifying PAD requires recognizing clinical red flags like family history and unusual infections, as conventional lab tests are inadequate for definitive diagnosis.
- Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enhances diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, but requires careful interpretation and collaboration among specialists to effectively manage PAD cases.

Epithelial-immune cell communication is pivotal to control microbial infections. We show that glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked aspartyl proteases (Yapsins) of the human opportunistic pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata (Cg) thwart epithelial cell (EC)-neutrophil signalling by targeting the EC protein, Arpc1B (actin nucleator Arp2/3 complex subunit), which leads to actin disassembly and impeded IL-8 secretion by ECs. Further, the diminished IL-8 secretion inhibits neutrophil migration, and protects Cg from the neutrophil-mediated killing.

Article Synopsis
- Pompe disease is a rare genetic disorder that causes glycogen buildup due to enzyme deficiency, primarily affecting the heart and muscles, with urgent treatment needed for infantile-onset forms to prevent mortality.
- The study aims to improve diagnosis of infantile-onset Pompe disease in the UAE by using electronic health records (EHRs) to create a rule-based screening approach that enables quick and precise identification of at-risk patients.
- The screening evaluated over 93,000 subjects, resulting in five identified true positives and one false negative, while integrating expert rules with a dashboard for better data visualization and screening efficiency, with a recommendation for future research to apply machine learning for enhanced detection.
