Regulating T-cell differentiation through the polyamine spermidine

Guilhermina M. Carriche et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that spermidine can act as a modulator of T-cell differentiation and function, promoting the development of Treg cells. Spermidine affects the differentiation of naive T cells both in vitro and in vivo, exerting beneficial effects on gut immunity.

Spatiotemporal single-cell profiling reveals that invasive and tissue-resident memory donor CD8+ T cells drive gastrointestinal acute graft-versus-host disease

Victor Tkachev et al.

Summary: The study reveals the processes by which donor CD8(+) T cells infiltrate tissues and establish pathogenic tissue residency in acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). By combining intravascular staining with single-cell RNA sequencing, researchers created a map of transcriptional programs controlling donor T cell infiltration into the primary aGVHD target organ, the gastrointestinal tract. The gene expression signature associated with tissue invasion was able to distinguish CD8(+) T cell transcriptome in patients with GI aGVHD from GVHD-free patients.

Mitochondrial complex II in intestinal epithelial cells regulates T cell-mediated immunopathology

IL-1-driven stromal-neutrophil interactions define a subset of patients with inflammatory bowel disease that does not respond to therapies

Matthias Friedrich et al.

Summary: Transcriptomic and histological profiling of gut biopsies from multiple cohorts of patients with inflammatory bowel disease revealed distinct histopathological, molecular and cellular features associated with treatment response. The identification of different tissue pathotypes may aid in targeting current therapies more precisely and provides a biological basis for IL-1 signaling blockade in ulcerating disease.

The neutrophil antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin promotes Th17 differentiation

Danielle Minns et al.

Summary: The host defence peptide cathelicidin is a potent Th17 potentiator, enhancing aryl hydrocarbon receptor and ROR gamma t expression in a TGF-beta 1-dependent manner, directing T cells towards Th17 phenotype while protecting them from apoptosis. Neutrophils secrete cathelicidin, which is required for maximum Th17 differentiation and plays a role in early neutrophilia directing subsequent adaptive immune responses.

IL-22-dependent dysbiosis and mononuclear phagocyte depletion contribute to steroid-resistant gut graft-versus-host disease in mice

Qingxiao Song et al.

Summary: The pathogenesis of SR-Gut-aGVHD involves the expansion of Th/Tc22 cells causing dysbiosis and reduction of Th/Tc1 cells leading to depletion of CX3CR1(hi) mononuclear phagocytes. Potential therapeutic strategies for SR-Gut-aGVHD include IL-22 antagonists and IFN-γ agonists.

IFN-λ therapy prevents severe gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease

Andrea S. Henden et al.

Summary: The text discusses the importance of immunopathology and intestinal stem cell loss in graft-versus-host disease, as well as interferon-lambda as a key protective factor. Research shows that intervention with interferon-lambda can prevent the loss of intestinal stem cells and improve the condition of GVHD.

Mechanisms by Which Obesity Promotes Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease in Mice

Lam T. Khuat et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the exacerbation of acute gut GVHD by obesity is primarily due to adiposity-induced inflammation and microbiota alterations, with the high-fat diet playing a lesser role. Microbiome changes appear to fuel ongoing acute GVHD processes.

Immune checkpoint blockade sensitivity and progression-free survival associates with baseline CD8+ T cell clone size and cytotoxicity

Robert A. Watson et al.

Summary: This study used single-cell sequencing technology to track the gene expression changes of CD8(+) T cells in response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), finding different reactivity across CD8(+) T cell subsets and showing that cytotoxic effector subsets exhibited the most gene expression changes post-ICB. Larger CD8(+) T cell clones had more differentially regulated genes after ICB, with a correlation between clone size and transcriptional changes enriched in T cell receptor signaling pathways. Cytotoxic effector CD8(+) clones were more likely to persist post-ICB and corresponded with public tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte clonotypes. Individuals with low cytotoxicity and fewer expanded CD8(+) T cell clones before treatment tended to have worse outcomes after ICB.

Symbiotic polyamine metabolism regulates epithelial proliferation and macrophage differentiation in the colon

CMV exposure drives long-term CD57+ CD4 memory T-cell inflation following allogeneic stem cell transplant

Albert C. Yeh et al.

Summary: Studies show that the CMV serostatus of donors and recipients is associated with transplant-related mortality following allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT). Previous research has indicated that CMV-seronegative recipients receiving a CMV-seropositive graft may have inferior outcomes compared to other serostatus combinations, even without viral reactivation. This suggests that prior CMV exposure can have lasting effects on immune function after SCT.

Polyamine metabolism is a central determinant of helper T cell lineage fidelity

Daniel J. Puleston et al.

Summary: Polyamine synthesis plays a critical role in T cell activation and differentiation, regulating CD4(+) T cells' function and epigenetic remodeling. Studies have revealed the significance of polyamine metabolism in controlling the fate of T-H cell subsets, with deficiency leading to aberrant expression of cytokines and transcription factors.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the era of increasing myeloid cell diversity

Filippo Veglia et al.

Summary: MDSCs are pathologically activated cells with potent immunosuppressive activity, closely associated with poor clinical outcomes in diseases like cancer. Recent studies have identified key distinctions between MDSCs and classical neutrophils and monocytes, providing new insights into therapeutic targeting for cancer and autoimmune diseases through understanding their genomic and metabolic characteristics. Emerging data also suggest potential involvement of MDSCs in pregnancy, neonatal biology, and COVID-19.
