Characteristics of immune checkpoint regulators and potential role of soluble TIM-3 and LAG-3 in male patients with alcohol-associated liver disease

Ailyn Fadriquela et al.

Summary: This study revealed the involvement of sCTLA-4, sTIM-3, sCD27, sGITRL, sLAG-3, and sHVEM in distinguishing male patients with ALD. Expressions of sTIM-3 and sLAG-3 were correlated with liver fibrosis markers and significantly associated with ALD severity, which can be further studied as diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets in ALD.

Implications and Management of Cirrhosis-Associated Immune Dysfunction Before and After Liver Transplantation

Thomas H. Tranah et al.

Summary: CAID is a condition characterized by immune dysfunction in patients with cirrhosis, resulting in impaired innate and adaptive immune responses. This dysfunction is driven by gut-barrier dysfunction and deficits in microbial compartmentalization, leading to systemic inflammation and exhaustion of immune cells. Understanding and addressing these immune dysregulations are crucial for improving patient outcomes and preventing complications in cirrhosis.

Cirrhosis-associated immune dysfunction

Agustin Albillos et al.

Summary: CAID is a spectrum of immune alterations associated with end-stage liver disease, including systemic inflammation and immune deficiency. The severity of CAID progresses parallel with cirrhosis stage, involving low-grade and high-grade systemic inflammatory phenotypes. Therapies targeting modulation of this dysfunctional immune response are currently under evaluation in preclinical and clinical studies.

Emergence of immunosuppressive LOX-1+PMN-MDSC in septic shock and severe COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome

Remy Coudereau et al.

Summary: The study explored the presence of LOX-1+ MDSC in bacterial and viral sepsis, finding significant increases in both patient groups, especially in COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. The persistence of these cells may contribute to long-lasting immunosuppression in patients.

Myeloid cells in sepsis-acquired immunodeficiency

Fabienne Venet et al.

Summary: Sepsis profoundly impacts immune homeostasis by disrupting myeloid cell response. This disruption includes mechanisms such as apoptosis, endotoxin tolerance, and metabolic failure, leading to increased risk of adverse outcomes in patients. Therapeutic strategies targeting these defects primarily involve the use of immunoadjuvant molecules.

Soluble TIM3 and Its Ligands Galectin-9 and CEACAM1 Are in Disequilibrium During Alcohol-Related Liver Disease and Promote Impairment of Anti-bacterial Immunity

Antonio Riva et al.

Summary: The study found that patients with alcohol-related liver disease exhibit abnormally elevated levels of soluble TIM3, especially those with more severe conditions. Soluble TIM3 is strongly correlated with pro-inflammatory cytokines, gut bacterial translocation markers, and disease severity indicators. In addition, bacterial challenge leads to the overexpression of membrane TIM3 on immune cells.

Baseline Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Is Independently Associated With 90-Day Transplant-Free Mortality in Patients With Cirrhosis

Jing Liu et al.

Summary: This study identified a non-linear association between baseline NLR and the adjusted probability of 90-day transplant-free mortality in cirrhotic patients. The risk of mortality increased with NLR values below 6.5, with patients below 4.5 having the highest risk. The increase in mortality risk with higher NLR was consistent across different subgroups of cirrhotic patients.
