The signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM) receptor family (SLAMF) consists of nine glycoproteins that belong to the CD2 superfamily of immunoglobulin (Ig) domain-containing molecules. SLAMF receptors modulate the differentiation and activation of a wide range of immune cells. Individual SLAMF receptors are expressed on the surface of hematopoietic stem cells, hematopoietic progenitor cells, B cells, T cells, NK cells, NKT cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, and platelets. The expression of SLAMF receptors was studied during normal B cell maturation. Several SLAMF receptors were also detected in cancer cell lines of B-lymphoid origin and in pathological B cells from patients with B cell chronic lymphoproliferative disorders (B-CLPD), the most frequent hematological malignancies in adults. This review summarizes current knowledge on the expression of SLAMF receptors and their adaptor proteins SAP and EAT-2 in B-CLPD. Several SLAMF receptors could be regarded as potential diagnostic and differential diagnostic markers, prognostic factors, and targets for the development of novel drugs for patients with B-CLPD.

Aging is a process accompanied by functional decline in tissues and organs with great social and medical consequences. Developing effective anti-aging strategies is of great significance. In this study, we demonstrated that transplantation of young hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) into old mice can mitigate aging phenotypes, underscoring the crucial role of HSCs in the aging process.

Long-term control of viral replication relies on the efficient differentiation of memory T cells into effector T cells during secondary immune responses. Recent findings have identified T cell precursors for both memory and exhausted T cells, suggesting the existence of progenitor-like effector T cells. These cells can persist without antigenic challenge but expand and acquire effector functions upon recall immune responses.

During thymic development, most γδ T cells acquire innate-like characteristics that are critical for their function in tumor surveillance, infectious disease, and tissue repair. The mechanisms, however, that regulate γδ T cell developmental programming remain unclear. Recently, we demonstrated that the SLAM/SAP signaling pathway regulates the development and function of multiple innate-like γδ T cell subsets.

Article Synopsis
- Current therapies for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are often not very effective, leading researchers to focus on CD132, a key component in inflammatory responses related to the disease.
- A new humanized anti-CD132 monoclonal antibody, 2D4, shows promise by effectively blocking specific inflammatory signals, suppressing T and B cell activity, and reducing inflammation in mouse models of lupus.
- Compared to the existing treatment Belimumab, 2D4 demonstrated better results in improving inflammation and kidney function, suggesting strong potential for clinical use in SLE and other autoimmune disorders.
Interaction between CD244 and SHP2 regulates inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease via targeting the MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Article Synopsis
- This study examined how CD244 and SHP2 interact in the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), particularly looking at inflammation and cell death caused by cigarette smoke.
- Through analyzing gene expression data, researchers identified significant changes in gene activity associated with COPD, with specific pathways involved in inflammation and health impacts linked to cigarette smoke exposure.
- The findings indicate that the CD244/SHP2 interaction plays a crucial role in regulating inflammatory and apoptotic processes, suggesting this pathway could be targeted for new COPD therapies.
