Project description:Vitiligo is a common autoimmune depigmented dermatology due to the destruction of melanocytes. Much evidence suggests that vitiligo is associated with systemic immune activation. Previous studies have focused on immune cell infiltration in and around lesion areas, while few studies have investigated the cell types and function of circulating immune cells in peripheral blood. We collected peripheral blood from five patients with progressive non-segmental vitiligo (PV) and three healthy controls (HC).Single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq) is used to investigate the mechanisms of peripheral immune responses in vitiligo patients.

Project description:Background: Bladder cancer and therapy responses hinge on immune profiles in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and blood, yet studies linking tumor-infiltrating immune cells to peripheral immune profiles are limited. Methods: DNA methylation cytometry quantified TME and matched peripheral blood immune cell proportions. With tumor immune profile data as the input, subjects were grouped by immune infiltration status and consensus clustering. Results: Immune hot and cold groups had different immune compositions in the TME but not in circulating blood. Two clusters of patients identified with consensus clustering had different immune compositions not only in the TME but also in blood. Conclusions: Detailed immune profiling via methylation cytometry reveals the significance of understanding tumor and systemic immune relationships in cancer patients.

Project description:Recent studies have demonstrated that micro (mi)RNA molecules can be detected in the circulation and can serve as potential biomarkers of various diseases. This study used microarray analysis to identify aberrantly expressed circulating miRNAs in patients with type 1 autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) compared with healthy controls. Patients with well-documented and untreated AIH were selected from the National Hospital Organization (NHO)-AIH-liver-network database. They underwent blood sampling and liver biopsy with inflammation grading and fibrosis staging before receiving treatment. To further confirm the microarray data, circulating expression levels of miR-21 and miR-122 were quantified by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction in 46 AIH patients, 40 patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC), and 15 healthy controls. Consistent with the microarray data, serum levels of miR-21 were significantly elevated in AIH patients compared with CHC patients and healthy controls. miR-21 and miR-122 serum levels correlated with alanine aminotransferase levels. Circulating levels of miR-21 and miR-122 were significantly reduced in AIH patients with liver cirrhosis, and were inversely correlated with increased stages of fibrosis. By contrast, levels of circulating miR-21 showed a significant correlation with the histological grades of inflammation in AIH. We postulate that aberrantly expressed serum miRNAs are potential biomarkers of AIH and could be implicated in AIH pathogenesis. Alternations of miR-21 and miR-122 serum levels could reflect their putative roles in the mediation of inflammatory processes in AIH. Case-control study, steroid treatment

Project description:In prostate cancer patients following 3 months of white button mushroom consumption in freeze-dried tablet form, we observed the decline of circulating polymorphonuclear MDSCs (PMN-MDSCs), along with an increase of granzyme B positive CD8+ T cells and NK cells. Furthermore, single immune cell profiling of peripheral blood from WBM-treated patients revealed the transcriptional landscape of circulating immune cells. This methods showed a decrease in overall circulating PMN-MDSCs with suppression on the expression of STAT3/IRF1 and TGFβ signaling. Subclusters of PMN-MDSCs showed transcriptional profiles associated with "response to fungus", "neutrophil chemotaxis", "leukocyte aggregation", and "regulation of inflammatory response", which are associated with enhanced immune-modulated anti-tumor activity.

Project description:Our current understanding of the pathobiology of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is primarily based on studies using specimens obtained through pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA). However, there is a significant gap in our knowledge regarding the characteristics and functions of circulating immune cells in CTEPH patients. To address this gap, our study aims to characterize the peripheral blood circulating immune cells in CTEPH patients, with a particular focus on monocytes. In this study, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) extracted from five CTEPH patients. This approach allowed us to identify various immune cell types present in the peripheral blood, including monocytes, T cells, and B cells. Notably, we observed an increased proportion of CD16+ monocytes in CTEPH patients. This monocyte subset exhibited distinct transcriptional profiles, indicating their involvement in critical biological processes such as cell adhesion, T cell activation, coagulation, and platelet activation. Our findings suggest that CD16+ monocytes may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of CTEPH, particularly in pulmonary arterial thrombosis and intimal remodeling. Furthermore, we observed that this subset of monocytes might be recruited into the pulmonary artery intima and differentiate into macrophages characterized by high IL-1β expression, potentially contributing to disease progression. This study provides new insights into the immune landscape of CTEPH and highlights the potential role of CD16+ monocytes in the disease's pathophysiology.

Project description:Circulating antibody secreting cells are present in peripheral blood of healthy individuals reflecting continued activity of the humoral immune system. Antibody secreting cells typically express CD27. We describe and characterize a small population of antibody secreting class switched CD19+CD43+ B cells that lack expression of CD27 in peripheral blood of healthy subjects. Class switched CD27-CD43+ B cells possess characteristics of conventional plasmablasts as they spontaneously secrete antibodies, are morphological similar to antibody secreting cells, show downregulation of B cell differentiation markers. In order to further characterize the cells in comparison to other B cell subtypes we performed gene expression studies. RNA was isolated from sort-purified IgA-expressing and IgG-expressing B cell subpopulations [CD27+CD43-, CD27+CD43+, CD27-CD43-, CD27-CD43+] obtained from 3 healthy adults, and microarray analysis was performed. Data from IgA-expressing B cell populations and from IgG-expressing B cell populations were normalized (separately).

Project description:Immune impairment and high circulating level of pro-inflammatory cytokines are landmarks of human aging. However, the molecular basis of immune dysregulation and the source of inflammatory markers remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that in the absence of overt cell stimulation, gene expression mediated by the transcription factor NF-κB is higher in purified and rested human CD4+ T lymphocytes from older compared to younger individuals. This increase of NF-κB -associated transcription includes transcripts for pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 and chemokines such as CCL2 and CXCL10. We demonstrate that NF-κB up-regulation is cell-intrinsic and mediated in part by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activity induced in response to metabolic activity, which can be moderated by rapamycin treatment. Our observations provide direct evidence that dysregulated basal NF-κB activity may contribute to the mild pro-inflammatory state of aging. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from heparinized blood using Ficoll-Paque Plus density gradient centrifugation. CD4+ T cells were obtained by positive selection using anti-human CD4 microbeads. After incubation for 4hr at either 4 or 37 Degrees C, cells were harvested and collected by centrifugation. Total cellular RNA was prepared using Qiagen RNeasy protocols. Labeling and amplification were done with the standard Illumina protocol and the biotin-labeled cRNA was hybridized to Illumina's HumanHT-12 V3.0 Expression BeadChip. The arrays were washed, blocked and the biotin-labeled cRNA was detected by staining with streptavidin-Cy3.

Project description:Denosumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and is routinely administered to cancer patients to reduce the incidence of new bone metastasis. RANK-RANKL regulates bone turnover by controlling osteoclast recruitment, development, and activity. However, this interaction also can regulate a broad range of immune cells including dendritic cells and medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs). Inhibition of the latter results in reduced thymic negative selection of T cells and could enhance the generation of tumor-specific T cells. We examined whether administering denosumab could modify modulate circulating immune cells in cancer patients. Blood was collected from 23 prostate cancer patients and 3 renal cell carcinoma patients, who provided written informed consent, with advanced disease who were receiving denosumab, prior to and during denosumab treatment. Using high-dimensional mass cytometry, we found that denosumab treatment by itself induced modest effects on circulating immune cell frequency and activation. We also found minimal changes in the circulating T cell repertoire and the frequency of new thymic emigrants with denosumab treatment. However, when we stratified patients by whether they were receiving chemotherapy and/or steroids, patients receiving these concomitant treatments showed significantly greater immune modulation, including an increase in the frequency of NK cells early and classical monocytes later. We also saw broad induction of CTLA-4 and TIM3 expression in circulating lymphocytes and some monocyte populations. These findings suggest that denosumab treatment by itself has modest immunomodulatory effects, but when combined with conventional cancer treatment, can lead to the induction of immunologic checkpoints.
