Aims: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neuroinflammatory demyelinating disease. Microglia are reportedly involved in the pathogenesis of MS. However, the key molecules that control the inflammatory activity of microglia in MS have not been identified.
Methods: Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice were randomized into CD22 blockade and control groups. The expression levels of microglial CD22 were measured by flow cytometry, qRT-PCR, and immunofluorescence. The effects of CD22 blockade were examined via in vitro and in vivo studies.
Results: We detected increased expression of microglial CD22 in EAE mice. In addition, an in vitro study revealed that lipopolysaccharide upregulated the expression of CD22 in microglia and that CD22 blockade modulated microglial polarization. Moreover, an in vivo study demonstrated that CD22 blockade aggravated EAE in mice and promoted microglial M1 polarization.
Conclusion: Collectively, our study indicates that CD22 may be protective against EAE and may play a critical role in the maintenance of immune homeostasis in EAE mice.

Background: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoantibody-triggered central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating disease that primarily affects the spinal cord, optic nerves and brainstem. Among the first responders to CNS injury, microglia are prominent players that drive NMOSD lesion formation. However, the key molecular switches controlling the detrimental activity of microglia in NMOSD are poorly understood.

Currently, therapies such as chimeric antigen receptor-T Cell (CAR-T) and immune checkpoint inhibitors like programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) blockers are showing promising results for numerous cancer patients. However, significant advancements are required before CAR-T therapies become readily available as off-the-shelf treatments, particularly for solid tumors and lymphomas. In this review, we have systematically analyzed the combination therapy involving engineered CAR-T cells and anti PD-1 agents.

Recurrent abnormalities in immune surveillance-related genes affect the progression of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and modulate the response to therapeutic interventions. CD58 interacts with the CD2 receptor on T cells and NK cells and is recurrently mutated and deleted in DLBCL, suggesting that it may play a role in regulating antitumor immunity. In this study, we comprehensively analyzed the genomic characteristics of CD58 through targeted next-generation sequencing, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), whole-exome sequencing, and single-cell RNA-seq in patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL.

Microglia are first responders to acute brain insults and initiate neuroinflammation to drive secondary tissue injury. Yet the key molecular switches in control of the inflammatory activity of microglia remain poorly understood. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating stroke subtype whereby a hematoma is formed within the brain parenchyma and associated with high mortality.
