Interleukin-10 (IL-10), a product of T helper type 2 (TH2) cells and monocytes, inhibits cytokine production in mononuclear phagocytes. Given the similarities and interrelationship between cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage and endothelial cells, we examined the effects of IL-10 on vascular endothelium. Murine IL-10 induced low levels of IL-6 production and amplified induction of IL-6 by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or IL-1 in the murine tEND.1 endothelioma line, used for these studies because it retains properties of normal endothelium. The effect was more evident after prolonged (48-72 h) exposure to IL-10. IL-10 had similar activity on other endothelioma lines, whereas it inhibited IL-6 production by peritoneal macrophages. Induction and amplification of cytokine production by IL-10 was associated with higher levels of mRNA, which were maintained longer (up to 48 h) than in controls. In addition to IL-6, murine IL-10 induced or amplified expression of the chemoattractant cytokines monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and KC. Human IL-10 inhibited IL-6 release by LPS-stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, whereas it did not interfere with cytokine production by LPS- or IL-1-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The selective inhibitory action of IL-10 on mononuclear phagocytes versus endothelial cells may play a role in the pathophysiology of TH2-directed responses.

The continued evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants capable of subverting vaccine and infection-induced immunity suggests the advantage of a broadly protective vaccine against betacoronaviruses (β-CoVs). Recent studies have isolated monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from SARS-CoV-2 recovered-vaccinated donors capable of neutralizing many variants of SARS-CoV-2 and other β-CoVs. Many of these mAbs target the conserved S2 stem region of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, rather than the receptor binding domain contained within S1 primarily targeted by current SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

Background Aims: Hypophosphatemia has been recently recognized adverse event in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, complicating 70-75% of patients. Severe hypophosphatemia can cause cytokine release syndrome (CRS)-like symptoms, such as respiratory and cardiovascular dysfunction. Some reports have described the association between inorganic phosphate (iP) and CRS in patients treated with tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel), lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel), axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel).

Recent research has demonstrated that activating the cGAS-STING pathway can enhance interferon production and the activation of T cells. A manganese complex, called TPA-Mn, was developed in this context. The reactive oxygen species (ROS)-sensitive nanoparticles (NPMn) loaded with TPA-Mn are developed.

Among the various sources of selenium supplementations, the Se-methylselenocysteine (SeMC) is a natural organic selenium compound that has been demonstrated to have multiple advantages in terms of metabolism efficiency and biosafety in animals. Nevertheless, the genome-wide impact of SeMC on gene transcription remains to be elucidated. In this study, we employed an LPS-stimulated chicken HD11 macrophage-like cell model to identify the principal transcription factors involved in transcriptome regulation responsible for SeMC treatment.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal disease, characterized by impaired wound repair, tissue remodeling and fibrosis. Immune system may participate in the development and progression of the disease as indicated by altered activity in IPF sufferers. This study investigates the immune response to the BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine in patients with IPF compared to healthy controls, with a particular focus on evaluation of antibody responses, interferon-gamma release, cytokine profiling and a broad panel of immune cell subpopulations.
