Lung B cells dampen neutrophil inflammation

John Podstawka, Sarthak Sinha, Carlos H. Hiroki, Nicole Sarden, Elise Granton, Elodie Labit, Jung Hwan Kim, Graciela Andonegui, Yuefei Lou, Brendan D. Snarr, Donald C. Sheppard, Nicole L. Rosin, Jeff Biernaskie, Bryan G. Yipp

Genetically diverse IgM+ peripheral B cells reside in the lung microvasculature and dampen neutrophil-mediated lung inflammation via lipoxins. Podstawka et al. reveal that transitional B cells marginate in the lung capillaries, where they dampen neutrophil inflammation. These discoveries help elucidate regulatory mechanisms that attenuate acute lung inflammation, which, when unchecked, can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome and pulmonary failure.

Anti-tumor immunity requires CCL5 and CXCL10

Courtney Mowat, Shayla R. Mosley, Afshin Namdar, Daniel Schiller, Kristi Baker

Mowat et al. show that anti-tumor immunity in dMMR CRCs relies on recruitment and retention of systemic CD8+ T cells. This is driven by extensive genomic instability that upregulates CCL5 and CXCL10 in the CRC cells by endogenously activating cGAS/STING and type I IFN signaling.

Type I IFN synergy of ADAR and hnRNPC deficiency

Anna-Maria Herzner, Zia Khan, Eric L. Van Nostrand, Sara Chan, Trinna Cuellar, Ronald Chen, Ximo Pechuan-Jorge, Laszlo Komuves, Margaret Solon, Zora Modrusan, Benjamin Haley, Gene W. Yeo, Timothy W. Behrens, Matthew L. Albert

hnRNPC prevents release of inverted-repeat Alu double-stranded RNA into the cytosol by masking cryptic splice sites. Herzner et al. found that deficiency in hnRNPC led to dysregulation of splicing and increased abundance of intronic double-stranded RNA, which together with ADAR deficiency resulted in a synergistic increase in spontaneous MDA5-dependent IFN responses.

scRNA-seq of host macrophages in tuberculosis

Davide Pisu, Lu Huang, Vipin Narang, Monique Theriault, Gabrielle Lê-Bury, Bernett Lee, Agnes E. Lakudzala, David T. Mzinza, David V. Mhango, Steven C. Mitini-Nkhoma, Kondwani C. Jambo, Amit Singhal, Henry C. Mwandumba, David G. Russell

Through scRNA-seq and ATAC-seq, Pisu et al. characterize specific lung macrophage subsets that either restrict or promote M. tuberculosis growth. Comparable macrophage populations are present in the human airways, and cells show evidence of epigenetic imprinting.

ZIKV NS1 induces sustained autoantibody production

Cecilia B. Cavazzoni, Vicente B.T. Bozza, Tostes C.V. Lucas, Luciana Conde, Bruno Maia, Luka Mesin, Ariën Schiepers, Jonatan Ersching, Romulo L.S. Neris, Jonas N. Conde, Diego R. Coelho, Tulio M. Lima, Renata G.F. Alvim, Leda R. Castilho, Heitor A. de Paula Neto, Ronaldo Mohana-Borges, Iranaia Assunção-Miranda, Alberto Nobrega, Gabriel D. Victora, Andre M. Vale

Using an immunocompetent mouse model of ZIKV infection, Cavazzoni et al. describe an immunodominant anti-NS1 humoral response characterized by autoreactive germinal center B cells, both cross-reactive and non-cross-reactive with NS1, exhibiting a paucity of somatic hypermutations, suggesting a broad breakage of self-tolerance in this viral infection model.

Reversal of emphysema by endothelial cell infusion

Shu Hisata, Alexandra C. Racanelli, Pouneh Kermani, Ryan Schreiner, Sean Houghton, Brisa Palikuqi, Balvir Kunar, Aiyuan Zhou, Keith McConn, Allyson Capili, David Redmond, Daniel J. Nolan, Michael Ginsberg, Bi-Sen Ding, Fernando J. Martinez, Joseph M. Scandura, Suzanne M. Cloonan, Shahin Rafii, Augustine M.K. Choi

We tested the role of endothelial dysfunction in the development of COPD/emphysema. We found that restoration of lung endothelial cells and blockade of endothelial-derived leucine-rich α-2-glycoprotein perturbs the pathogenesis of COPD/emphysema.

Foxo1 regulates intestinal mucus homeostasis

Zuojia Chen, Jialie Luo, Jian Li, Girak Kim, Eric S. Chen, Sheng Xiao, Scott B. Snapper, Bin Bao, Dingding An, Richard S. Blumberg, Cheng-hui Lin, Sui Wang, Jiaxin Zhong, Kuai Liu, Qiyuan Li, Chuan Wu, Vijay K. Kuchroo

The host-derived regulatory network that controls mucus secretion and thereby changes gut microbiota has not been fully illustrated. Here, we identify that Forkhead box protein O1 (Foxo1) is critical for gut commensalism and intestinal barrier integrity by regulating goblet cell function.

NF-κB inhibition in keratinocytes causes RIPK1-mediated necroptosis and skin inflammation

Snehlata Kumari ... Manolis Pasparakis | Life Sci. Alliance

TNFR1 was found to cause skin inflammation in mice with epidermal keratinocyte-specific ablation of IKK2 or of both the NF-kB subunits RelA and cRel by triggering RIPK1-dependent, RIPK3-MLKL–mediated necroptosis of keratinocytes.
Pancreatic cancer is marked by complement-high blood monocytes and tumor-associated macrophages

Samantha B Kemp ... Marina Pasca di Magliano | Life Sci. Alliance

This study uses biomaterial scaffolds to identify a macrophage gene signature defined by high expression of C1qa, C1qb, and Trem2 that is elevated systemically in mouse and human pancreatic cancer.
DGCR8 deficiency impairs macrophage growth and unleashes the interferon response to mycobacteria

Barbara Killy ... Roland Lang | Life Sci. Alliance

Lack of miRNA biosynthesis in DGCR8-deficient macrophages did not block macrophage differentiation but caused overshooting type I IFN responses to mycobacterial glycolipids.

Insight into microglia’s role in Alzheimer’s disease

Yun Chen, Marco Colonna

scRNA-seq analyses of microglial responses to AD pathology in patients and mouse models have provided fundamental insights but also exposed some heterogeneity and discrepancies. Here, we identify consistent microglial response patterns and discuss parallels and incongruities between humans and mice.
