The relationships among immune cells, metabolites, and AS events were analyzed via Mendelian randomization (MR), and potential immune cells and metabolites were identified as risk factors for AS. Their relationships were subjected to intermediary MR analysis to identify the final immune cells and metabolites. The vertebral bone marrow blood samples from three patients with and without AS were subjected to 10× single-cell sequencing to further elucidate the role of immune cells in AS. The key genes were screened via expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) and MR analyses. The metabolic differences between the two groups were compared through single-cell metabolism analysis. Two subgroups of differentiated (CD)8+ memory T cells and naive B cells were obtained from the combined results of intermediary MR analysis and AS single-cell analysis. After the verification of key genes, inorganic pyrophosphatase 1 (PPA1) was identified as the hub gene, as it is differentially expressed in CD8+ memory T cells and can affect the metabolism of T cells in AS by affecting the expression of ferulic acid (FA)4 sulfate, which participates in the cellular immunity in AS.

(), a periodontal pathogen, has been implicated in the impairment of anti-tumor responses in colorectal cancer (CRC). The tumor microenvironment in CRC involves tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which are pivotal in modulating tumor-associated immune responses. The polarization of TAMs towards an M2-like phenotype promotes CRC progression by suppressing the immune system.

Interferon gamma (IFNγ) is well-known for its ability to stimulate immune cells in response to pathogen infections and cancer. To develop an effective cancer therapeutic vaccine, CT26 colon carcinoma cells were genetically modified to express IFNγ either as a secreted form (sIFNγ) or as a membrane-bound form. For the membrane-bound expression, IFNγ was fused with Fas (mbIFNγ/Fas), incorporating the extracellular cysteine-rich domains, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic domains of Fas.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer, with the worst prognosis among all subtypes. The impact of distinct cell subpopulations within the tumor microenvironment (TME) on TNBC patient prognosis has yet to be clarified.
Methods: Utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) integrated with bulk RNA sequencing (bulk RNA-seq), we applied Cox regression models to compute hazard ratios, and cross-validated prognostic scoring using a GLMNET-based Cox model.

Background: Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) manifests with characteristics of autoimmune disease with organs attacked by pathogenic helper T cells. Recent studies have highlighted the role of T cells in cGVHD pathogenesis. Due to limited understanding of underlying mechanisms, preventing cGVHD after allogenic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has become a major challenge.
