Decreased expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) in cord blood monocytes under anoxia

Christiane Schlegel et al.

Summary: This study compares the differences between adult and neonatal immune cells under low oxygen partial pressure. It finds that HIF-1 alpha expression, phagocytosis, ROS production, and VEGF secretion are significantly reduced in neonatal immune cells under hypoxic conditions. This may contribute to the decreased responsiveness of neonatal immune cells in the context of infection.

Sex-specific differences in T-cell immune dysregulation and aberrant response to inflammatory stimuli in offspring exposed to maternal chronic inflammation

Jin Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of maternal chronic inflammation on fetal to neonatal T-cell immune development and offspring response to postnatal IL-1 beta challenge in an adverse intrauterine environment. The results showed that offspring exposed to prenatal inflammation exhibited dysfunctional T-cell immunity and regulatory immune responses, with sex-specific differences.

Maternal inflammation and its ramifications on fetal neurodevelopment

Ho-Keun Kwon et al.

Summary: Exposure to infections or inflammatory insults during pregnancy can lead to neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders in children. Rodent models have provided insights into how maternal immune activation (MIA) affects brain development, with key immune factors playing important roles. The microbiome also plays a significant role in shaping maternal immune function and the development of autism-like phenotypes.

Human Leucocyte Antigen G and Murine Qa-2 Are Critical for Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cell Expansion and Activation and for Successful Pregnancy Outcome

Stefanie Dietz et al.

Summary: In this study, the impact of the murine MHC class Ib molecule Qa-2 on pregnancy outcome was analyzed. Lack of Qa-2 led to intrauterine growth restriction and increased abortion rates, accompanied by disturbed trophoblast invasion, altered spiral artery remodeling, and protein aggregation in trophoblast cells indicating a preeclampsia-like phenotype. Furthermore, lack of Qa-2 caused imbalanced immunological adaptation to pregnancy, with altered immune cell and especially T-cell homeostasis. Application of sHLA-G reduced abortion rates in Qa-2 deficient mice by inducing MDSC.

Infants Younger Than 90 Days Admitted for Late-Onset Sepsis Display a Reduced Abundance of Regulatory T Cells

Ingmar Fortmann et al.

Summary: The study found that infants with suspected late-onset sepsis (LOS) had a decreased abundance of CD4+ FoxP3+ T cells compared to controls, especially in those with invasive bacterial infection. Additionally, infants with LOS showed an increase in HLA-DR-positive CD3+ cells, while infants with viral infection had a higher CD4/CD8 ratio than healthy controls.

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.
