A Stable Isopterin Mimic of a Potent Bacterial Stimulant of T Cells

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A microbial metabolite covalently binds immunological protein MR1 to potently activate specific lymphocytes called MAIT cells, but it is too unstable for biological applications. Here, using synthesis, assays, protein crystallography, and computer modelling, we report a water‐stable analogue that activates reporter cells expressing the MAIT T cell ...

MAIT cells: new guardians of the liver [PDF]

open access: yesClinical & Translational Immunology, 2016
The liver is an important immunological organ that remains sterile and tolerogenic in homeostasis, despite continual exposure to non‐self food and microbial‐derived products from the gut. However, where intestinal mucosal defenses are breached or in the presence of a systemic infection, the liver acts as a second 'firewall', because of its enrichment ...

Monocyte inflammation and adaptive immune dysfunction in severe Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia

open access: yesiMeta, EarlyView.
Severe Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia combines intense inflammation with failure to control infection, yet the cellular basis is unclear. Using a severity‐focused single‐cell atlas of 708,894 peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 100 individuals, complemented by plasma protein measurements and flow cytometry, we show that disease severity redirects ...

Natural Polysaccharides for Rheumatoid Arthritis Therapy: Mechanism, Drug Delivery and Clinical Application

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the experimental models, therapeutic mechanisms, drug delivery systems, and clinical potential of natural polysaccharides in rheumatoid arthritis. ABSTRACT Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized primarily by chronic synovitis.

Mucosal-associated invariant T cells recognize a tumor-derived metabolite in the DNA synthesis pathway

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells recognize metabolite-derived ligands, but the identity of such ligands in the context of cancer remains poorly defined.

Single‐Cell Profiling Links T‐Cell Accumulation and TH2/TH17 Dynamics to Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) Activity in Children

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Active EoE is associated with more and deeper epithelial eosinophil, mast cell, and T cell infiltration; inactive EoE resembles controls. During remission, PPI treatment leaves more tissue resident CD3+ T‐cells than TS. In active EoE, TH2 cells, IL‐10hi Tregs, and CD8+ cytotoxic T cells are enriched, while TH17 cells are relatively depleted.

MAIT Cells in Liver Disease

open access: yesCells
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are abundant innate-like T lymphocytes in the human liver which can provide antimicrobial defense, amplify inflammatory processes and mediate tissue repair and fibrosis depending on microenvironmental cues.

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

open access: yesAndrology, 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.

MAIT cells: the end of the beginning? [PDF]

open access: yesImmunology & Cell Biology, 2018
Mucosal associated invariant T cells (MAIT) are evolutionarily old, but scientifically still quite young. The first descriptions of a human T-cell population with the canonical T-cell receptors were 25 years ago (reviewed by Lantz and Legoux1). However, it is in the last few years, since the discovery of their specificity, functionality and sheer ...

Immune Repertoire Profiling Reveals Distinct Adaptive Immune Signatures of Dampness ZHENG Across Psoriasis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ulcerative Colitis

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram for the experimental design for adaptome immune repertoire analysing Dampness ZHENG across Psoriasis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ulcerative Colitis. ABSTRACT Autoimmune diseases, including psoriasis (Ps), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ulcerative colitis (UC), pose significant health burdens worldwide.
