Comprehensive Profiling of an Aging Immune System Reveals Clonal GZMK+ CD8+ T Cells as Conserved Hallmark of Inflammaging

Denis A. Mogilenko et al.

Summary: This study characterized age-associated alterations in immune cells across multiple mouse organs and identified a distinct population of age-associated GZMK-expressing CD8(+) T cells. These Taa cells, highly clonal with specific features, were found to be a potential target to address age-associated dysfunctions of the immune system. In humans, proportions of the circulating GZMK(+) CDE3(+) T cell population that shares signatures with mouse Taa cells also increased during healthy aging.

Hypertension delays viral clearance and exacerbates airway hyperinflammation in patients with COVID-19

Saskia Trump et al.

Summary: Single-cell analysis reveals the impact of ACEI and ARB treatments on COVID-19 progression in patients with hypertension. ACEI treatment is associated with dampened inflammation and enhanced antiviral responses, while ARB treatment is related to increased epithelial-immune cell interactions, suggesting further investigation is warranted for the clinical benefits of ACEI treatment in this patient population.

MDA5 Governs the Innate Immune Response to SARS-CoV-2 in Lung Epithelial Cells

Xin Yin et al.

Summary: Recent studies show that cellular responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection may influence disease severity, with MDA5 and LGP2 primarily regulating IFN induction in lung epithelial cells. Further analysis revealed that viral intermediates specifically activate the IFN response through MDA5-mediated sensing, and transcription factors IRF3, IRF5, and NF-kappa B/p65 play key roles in regulating the IFN response during SARS-CoV-2 infection. These findings provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of innate immune recognition and signaling response to SARS-CoV-2.

Auto-antibodies to type I IFNs can underlie adverse reactions to yellow fever live attenuated vaccine

Paul Bastard et al.

Summary: In rare cases, yellow fever virus (YFV) live attenuated vaccine can cause life-threatening disease, particularly in patients with no history of severe viral illness. Some patients with auto-Abs against multiple type I interferons and autosomal recessive IFNAR1 or IFNAR2 deficiency were found to be at risk of developing severe complications after YFV vaccination. Testing for these predispositions could be considered for healthy individuals before YFV vaccination.

SARS-CoV-2 Triggers an MDA-5-Dependent Interferon Response Which Is Unable To Control Replication in Lung Epithelial Cells

Antoine Rebendenne et al.

Summary: The study found that in lung cells, despite producing high levels of IFNs in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection, the IFN response was unable to control viral replication, contrary to what was observed in intestinal epithelial cells. The ambiguous interplay between viral replication and the timing of IFN responses needs to be further understood for guiding future therapeutic interventions.

Systematic functional analysis of SARS-CoV-2 proteins uncovers viral innate immune antagonists and remaining vulnerabilities

Manuel Hayn et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 proteins synergize to counteract innate immune responses, but they are vulnerable to type II and III interferons. Experimental results show potent inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 infection by interferon-gamma and lambda 1, highlighting potential for effective antiviral approaches.

Natural mucosal barriers and COVID-19 in children

Carl A. Pierce et al.

Summary: Children infected with SARS-CoV-2 show a more robust early mucosal immune response compared to adults, which may contribute to favorable clinical outcomes. Higher levels of IFN signaling and other innate pathways were observed in children, along with increased levels of certain cytokines in nasal fluid, suggesting a more protective immune response in children against severe COVID-19.

Distinct antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 in children and adults across the COVID-19 clinical spectrum

Stuart P. Weisberg et al.

Summary: This study found distinct antibody responses in children and adults after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Adult COVID-19 cohorts showed a broader range of antibody responses, while children predominantly generated antibodies specific for the S protein and had reduced neutralizing activity compared to adults.

Coronavirus biology and replication: implications for SARS-CoV-2

Philip V'kovski et al.

Summary: This review discusses key aspects of coronavirus biology and their implications for SARS-CoV-2 infections, treatment, and prevention strategies. Understanding virus-host interactions at the molecular level is crucial for developing effective intervention strategies. Summarizing the discoveries of SARS-CoV-2 infection and comparing it with other coronaviruses will support future preparedness and combat strategies.
