AI Article Synopsis

  • Sepsis leads to specific immune system changes, particularly the increase of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which help control inflammation but can linger in those with ongoing critical illness.
  • The study employs advanced techniques like Cellular Indexing of Transcriptomes and Epitopes by Sequencing to analyze MDSC types based on gene expression and biological functions.
  • Findings reveal a new lineage and differentiation pathway for MDSCs following sepsis, emphasizing their variable responses related to patient outcomes and demonstrating their ability to change, contradicting the previous belief of a fixed lineage.

Article Abstract

Introduction: Sepsis engenders distinct host immunologic changes that include the expansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). These cells play a physiologic role in tempering acute inflammatory responses but can persist in patients who develop chronic critical illness.

Methods: Cellular Indexing of Transcriptomes and Epitopes by Sequencing and transcriptomic analysis are used to describe MDSC subpopulations based on differential gene expression, RNA velocities, and biologic process clustering.

Results: We identify a unique lineage and differentiation pathway for MDSCs after sepsis and describe a novel MDSC subpopulation. Additionally, we report that the heterogeneous response of the myeloid compartment of blood to sepsis is dependent on clinical outcome.

Discussion: The origins and lineage of these MDSC subpopulations were previously assumed to be discrete and unidirectional; however, these cells exhibit a dynamic phenotype with considerable plasticity.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a neoplasm that is often detected late due to nonspecific symptoms. This study utilized NSG-SGM3 mice to examine interactions between a human-derived mesothelioma reporter cell line (MZT-Luc2-mCherry) and the host's myeloid compartment. Tumor growth was assessed using optical tomography, while cytokine/chemokine production was analyzed via multiplex assay.

Background: Registered systemic treatment options for glioblastoma patients are limited. The phase II REGOMA trial suggested an improvement of median overall survival in progressive glioblastoma by the multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor regorafenib. This has not been confirmed by GBM AGILE.

Loss of IFNγ-sensitivity by tumours is thought to be a mechanism enabling evasion, but recent studies suggest that IFNγ-resistant tumours can be sensitised for immunotherapy, yet the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we show that IFNγ receptor-deficient B16-F10 mouse melanoma tumours are controlled as efficiently as WT tumours despite their lower MHC class I expression. Mechanistically, IFNγ receptor deletion in B16-F10 tumours increases IFNγ availability, triggering a remodelling of the immune landscape characterised by inflammatory monocyte infiltration and the generation of 'mono-macs'.

Article Synopsis
  • Despite improvements in targeted therapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), the prognosis remains poor, particularly for patients with relapsed or refractory disease.
  • Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) is the main curative option for high-risk patients, but the best conditioning approach is still uncertain for those who are chemotherapy-refractory.
  • A study on seven AML patients who received CXCR4-directed endoradiotherapy (ERT) combined with total body irradiation and chemotherapy prior to alloSCT showed promising outcomes, with 6 out of 7 patients achieving response and successful engraftment, offering insights into a potentially effective treatment strategy for advanced cases.

Background: Adoptive transfer of autologous regulatory T cells (Tregs) is a promising therapeutic strategy aimed at enabling immunosuppression minimization following kidney transplantation. In our phase 1 clinical trial of Treg therapy in living donor renal transplantation, the ONE Study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02129881), we observed focal lymphocytic infiltrates in protocol kidney transplant biopsies that are not regularly seen in biopsies of patients receiving standard immunosuppression.
