PDE4D gene variants and haplotypes are associated with asthma and atopy in Brazilian children
Immunobiology. 2023 Aug 3;228(5):152724. doi: 10.1016/j.imbio.2023.152724. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPDE4D (Phosphodiesterase 4D) gene encodes a hydrolase of cyclic AMP. PDE4D genetic variants have been associated with asthma susceptibility. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between PDE4D variants (and haplotypes) with asthma and atopy in a Brazilian population. The study comprised 1,246 unrelated participants from the SCAALA (Social Changes Asthma and Allergy in Latin America) program. Genotyping was performed using the Illumina 2.5 Human Omni bead chip. Multivariate logistic regression was us...

Identification and characterization of T-cell receptors with therapeutic potential showing conserved specificity against all SARS-CoV 2 strains
Immunobiology. 2023 Jul 28;228(5):152720. doi: 10.1016/j.imbio.2023.152720. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Treatment of severe COVID-19 disease can be challenging in immunocompromized patients due to newly emerging virus variants of concern (VOC) escaping the humoral response. Thus, T cells recognizing to date unmutated epitopes are not only relevant for patients' immune responses against VOC, but might also serve as a therapeutic option for patients with severe COVID-19 disease in the future, e.g. following allogenic stem cell transplantation.METHODS: To this purpose, the activation, cytokine profile and spec...

Limosilactobacillus fermentum modulates the gut-airway axis by improving the immune response through FOXP3 activation on combined allergic rhinitis and asthma syndrome (CARAS)
Immunobiology. 2023 Jul 26;228(5):152721. doi: 10.1016/j.imbio.2023.152721. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCombined allergic rhinitis and asthma syndrome (CARAS) is an allergic airway inflammatory disorder orchestrated by the type 2 immune response. The close gut-lung relationship has been described, however, the effect of gut-modulating agents such as probiotics in allergic airway disorder is unclear. Thus, the goal of this study was to evaluate theLimosilactobacillus fermentumsupplementation in animals with CARAS. Therefore, BALB/c mice were ovalbumin (OVA) -sensitized and -challenged after being supplemented withL. ferme...

PD1 is transcriptionally regulated by LEF1 in mature T cells
Immunobiology. 2023 Jul 20;228(5):152708. doi: 10.1016/j.imbio.2023.152708. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe role of programmed cell death 1 (PD1) in cancer immune evasion is of considerable importance, prompting the development of monoclonal antibodies that specifically target PD-1 to enhance the immune system for cancer therapy. Nevertheless, the efficacy of PD1/programmed cell death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) blocking antibodies is limited to certain patients or tumor types. Although researchers have demonstrated the influence of PD-1 on the positive selection of T cells, its effect on the T-cell repertoire remains uncertain. Ly...

RNA-Seq and ATAC-Seq analyses reveal a global transcriptional and chromatin accessibility profiling of γδ T17 differentiation from mouse spleen
Immunobiology. 2023 Jul 5;228(5):152461. doi: 10.1016/j.imbio.2023.152461. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIL-17A-producing γδ T cells (γδ T17) are known to play important roles in various autoimmune diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms of γδ T17 differentiation and their functions have not been clarified yet. Here, we sorted IL-17A+ Vγ4, IL-17A- Vγ4, and Vγ1 subsets from mouse spleen by in vitro priming of γδ T17 cells and investigated their differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially accessible regions (DARs) using RNA-seq and ATAC-seq, respectively. Our results showed that DEGs-1 (upregulate...
