Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a polyarticular synovitis. In recent years, elderly onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA) has been increasing. Treg cells in RA have been reported to be dysfunctional, but the relationship between aging and their functional changes is unclear. Here, we found that Treg cells from EORA patients had increased percentages, but decreased activity compared to those from younger onset RA (YORA) patients. In experiments using arthritis model mice, decreased suppressive function and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) were observed in Treg cells only from old arthritic mice. Furthermore, type I interferon (IFN) signaling was upregulated in Treg cells from old GIA mice, and IFN-β decreased the suppressive function of Treg cells. Our findings demonstrate that increased type I IFN signaling in old Treg cells is induced only in the arthritic environment and relates to decreased suppressive function of Treg cells, gets involved in EORA.

Exposure to ultraviolet-B (UVB) induces the expansion of regulatory T (Treg) cells expressing proenkephalin (PENK) and amphiregulin (AREG) with a healing function in the skin. It is unclear how this UVB exposure affects the functionally distinct subsets of skin Treg cells. In this study, we have demonstrated that skin-resident CD81Treg cells expressing both Penk and Areg expanded after UVB irradiation.

Background: Adoptive therapy with umbilical cord blood (UCB) T-regulatory (Treg) cells can prevent graft vs. host disease (GVHD). We hypothesize that UCB Tregs can treat GVHD and synergize with ruxolitinib, Jak2 inhibitor, to improve outcomes.

Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly fatal malignancy, the complex tumor microenvironment (TME) is a critical factor affecting SCLC progression. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are crucial components of TME, yet their role in SCLC and the underlying mechanisms during their interaction with SCLC cells remain to be determined.
Methods: Microenvironmental cell components were estimated using transcriptome data from SCLC tissue available in public databases, analyzed with bioinformatic algorithms.
