Skin-resident antigen-presenting cells (APC) play an important role in maintaining peripheral tolerance via immune checkpoint proteins and induction of T regulatory cells (Tregs). However, there is a lack of knowledge on how to expand or recruit immunoregulatory cutaneous cells without causing inflammation. Here, it is shown that administration of a non-coding single-stranded oligonucleotide (ssON) leads to CCR2-dependent accumulation of CD45CD11bLy6C cells in the skin that express substantial levels of PD-L1 and ILT3. Transcriptomic analyses of skin biopsies reveal the upregulation of key immunosuppressive genes after ssON administration. Functionally, the cutaneous CD11b cells inhibit Th responses and promote the induction of CD4FoxP3 T-cells. In addition, ssON treatment of imiquimod-induced inflammation results in significantly reduced Th responses. It is also shown that induction of IL-10 production in the presence of cutaneous CD11b cells isolated after ssON administrations is partly PD-L1 dependent. Altogether, an immunomodulatory ssON is identified that can be used therapeutically to recruit cutaneous CD11b cells with the capacity to dampen Th cells.

Objective: Physical treatment modalities, such as ablative fractional laser (AFL), electrocautery, and cryotherapy, are extensively used in the field of dermatology. This study aimed to characterize the short-term innate and adaptive immune responses induced by AFL compared with heat- and cold-based procedures.
Materials And Methods: Innate (CD11bLy6G neutrophils) and adaptive (CD8CD3 T cells) immune cell infiltration and histopathological changes were examined in murine skin on Days 1 and 7, following AFL, monopolar-electrocautery (RF), thermocautery, and cryotherapy.
ECRG4 mediates host response to cutaneous infection by regulating neutrophil recruitment and adhesion receptor expression.

Rapid neutrophil recruitment is critical for controlling infection, with dysfunctional neutrophil responses in diseases like diabetes associated with greater morbidity and mortality. We have shown that the leukocyte protein ECRG4 enhances early neutrophil recruitment to cutaneous wounds and hypothesized that ECRG4 regulates the early host response to infection. Using a cutaneous infection model, we found that ECRG4 KO mice had decreased early neutrophil recruitment with persistent larger lesions, increased bacterial proliferation and systemic dissemination.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers microglial/monocytes activation with distinct pro-inflammatory or inflammation-resolving phenotypes, which potentiate tissue damage or facilitate functional repair, respectively. The major integrin Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18), a heterodimer consisting of CD11b and CD18 chains, is expressed in multiple immune cells of the myeloid lineage. Here, we examined the effects of CD11b gene ablation in neuroinflammation and functional outcomes after SCI.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates a genetic variant (p.Arg90His) in the neutrophil cytosolic factor 1 gene related to systemic lupus erythematosus and its association with systemic sclerosis (SSc).
- Data from diverse cohorts indicate that the -H90 allele significantly increases the risk of developing diffuse cutaneous SSc and lung fibrosis in affected patients.
- Findings reveal that this variant enhances profibrotic responses in blood monocytes and macrophages, contributing to the severity of lung fibrosis, both in mouse models and human patients with SSc.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers looked at the expression of complement receptors (CRs) on B cells in dcSSc patients and found reduced CD11b expression and changes in other receptors upon stimulation, which may influence autoantibody production.
- * A negative correlation was identified between complement component 3 (C3) levels and a specific autoantibody in dcSSc patients, suggesting that natural autoantibodies could activate the complement system, leading to tissue damage in SSc.
