Globo‐H diagnostic stratification and identification of DUSP14 as a candidate target in colorectal cancer

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasingly complicated by drug‐resistant tumors that limit the effectiveness of anticancer therapies. Because resistance mechanisms vary among patients and can evolve over time, personalized treatment strategies are needed.

MAIT Cells Suppress IgE‐Mediated Asthma via IFNγ‐Dependent B Cell Regulation

Allergy, EarlyView.
In this study, we demonstrate that MAIT cell antagonism during sensitization and challenge with HDM worsens the development of airway hyperreactivity without effects on type 2 or 17 associated cytokine production or lung inflammation. Rather, MAIT cells appear to regulate HDM‐induced asthma through direct inhibition of IgE production.

Biological functions of MAIT cells in tissues

Molecular Immunology, 2021
Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells have a recognised innate-like capacity for antibacterial host defence, consequent on the specificity of their T cell receptor (TCR) for small molecule metabolites produced by a range of prokaryotic and fungal species, their effector memory phenotype, and their expression of cytotoxic molecules.

Understanding the Role of Mucosal-Associated Invariant T-Cells in Non-human Primate Models of HIV Infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Chronic HIV infection causes systemic immune activation and dysregulation, resulting in the impairment of most T-cell subsets including MAIT cells. Multiple human cohort studies demonstrate MAIT cells are selectively depleted in the peripheral blood and ...

Circulating CD8+ mucosal‐associated invariant T cells correlate with improved treatment responses and overall survival in anti‐PD‐1‐treated melanoma patients

Clinical & Translational Immunology, 2022
Objectives While much of the research concerning factors associated with responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has focussed on the contributions of conventional peptide‐specific T cells, the role of unconventional T cells, such as mucosal ...

A Unified Machine Learning Model for Relapse Prediction in Clinical Stage I Testicular Cancer

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Approximately one‐fourth of patients with clinical stage I testicular cancer relapse. For decades, risk stratification has been based on different tumor characteristics for seminomas and non‐seminomas. Previous studies primarily used Cox proportional‐hazards models and included only a limited number of variables.

HIV-Infected Children Have Lower Frequencies of CD8+ Mucosal-Associated Invariant T (MAIT) Cells that Correlate with Innate, Th17 and Th22 Cell Subsets. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Mucosal-associated invariant T cells (MAIT) are innate T cells restricted by major histocompatibility related molecule 1 (MR1) presenting riboflavin metabolite ligands derived from microbes.

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Herpes simplex virus type 1 impairs mucosal-associated invariant T cells

mBio
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a highly successful pathogen that infects mucosal sites and adopts an arsenal of strategies to manipulate host immunity.

MAIT cells are reduced in frequency and functionally impaired in human T lymphotropic virus type 1 infection: Potential clinical implications. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
HTLV-1 infection is associated with several inflammatory disorders, including the neurodegenerative condition HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). It is unclear why a minority of infected subjects develop HAM/TSP.
