The soluble IL-2 receptor α/CD25 as a modulator of IL-2 function
We describe the molecular mechanisms leading to sIL-2Rα generation and discuss the different IL-2 modulating functions that have been attributed to the sIL-2Rα. Finally, we describe attempts to utilize the sIL-2Rα as a therapeutic tool.PMID:38037265 | DOI:10.1111/imm.13723 (Source: Immunology)

Probiotic Bacillus spp. enhance TLR3-mediated TNF signalling in macrophages
Immunology. 2023 Nov 29. doi: 10.1111/imm.13721. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProbiotics have been reported to have immunomodulatory properties in the context of infectious disease and inflammation, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we aimed to determine how different probiotic bacterial strains modulated macrophage function during TLR3 stimulation mimicking viral infection. We screened 14 different strains for their ability to modulate TNF-α, IL-6 IL-10, IFN-α, IFN-β and IFN-γ secretion in RAW 264.7 macrophages with or without poly(I:C) stimulation. Seven strains were selected for fur...

Applications of single-cell omics for chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy
Immunology. 2023 Nov 27. doi: 10.1111/imm.13720. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a promising cancer treatment modality. The breakthroughs in CAR T cell therapy were, in part, possible with the help of cell analysis methods, such as single-cell analysis. Bulk analyses have provided invaluable information regarding the complex molecular dynamics of CAR T cells, but their results are an average of thousands of signals in CAR T or tumour cells. Since cancer is a heterogeneous disease where each minute detail of a subclone could change the outcome of the treatment, single-cell ana...

Melanoma tumour-derived glycans hijack dendritic cell subsets through C-type lectin receptor binding
We examined the ability of glycans to bind to purified DCs, and assessed their impact on DC basal properties and functional features using flow cytometry, confocal microscopy and multiplex secreted protein analysis. DC subsets differentially bound and internalised NeoGP depending on the nature of the glycan. Strikingly, Fuc directly remodelled the expression of activation markers and immune checkpoints, as well as the cytokine/chemokine secretion profile of DC subsets. NeoGP interfered with Toll like receptor (TLR)-signalling and pre-conditioned DCs to exhibit an altered response to subsequent TLR stimulation, dampening an...
