Immune Regulation News is an online resource covering research into the regulation, suppression, and modulation of the immune system.
Induction of LY6E Regulates Interleukin-1β Production, Potentially Contributing to the Immunopathogenesis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
[Cell Communication and Signaling] By studying mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages, researchers showed that LY6E regulated IFN-α- and IC-induced production and secretion of mature interleukin-1β, foam cell formation, and several mitochondria-associated mechanisms.
T-Bet+ CXCR3+ B Cells Drive Hyperreactive B-T Cell Interactions in Multiple Sclerosis
[Cell Reports Medicine] Scientists showed that pro-inflammatory B-T cell-enriched cell clusters form during autoproliferation and mirror features of a germinal center reaction.
Early Notch Signals from Fibroblastic Reticular Cells Program Effector CD8+ T Cell Differentiation
[Journal of Experimental Medicine] Using genetic mouse models and blocking antibodies, scientists uncovered cellular and molecular mechanisms by which Notch signaling favored the efficient generation of effector CD8+ T cells.
Regulatory T Cells in the Mouse Hypothalamus Control Immune Activation and Ameliorate Metabolic Impairments in High-Calorie Environments
[Nature Communications] Investigators identified regulatory T cells (Tregs) as key modulators of hypothalamic immune responses. In mice, calorie-rich environments activated hypothalamic CD4+ T cells, infiltrating macrophages and microglia while reducing hypothalamic Tregs.
AGO2 Mediates Immunotherapy Failure via Suppressing Tumor IFN-Gamma Response-Dependent CD8+ T Cell Immunity
[Cell Reports] The authors showed that Argonaute 2 (AGO2), a key mediator in small RNA-guided gene regulation, inversely correlated with tumor responsiveness to interferon-gamma and the efficacy of immunotherapy.
Pharming Group Announces First Patient Dosed in Phase II Clinical Trial of Leniolisib for Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) with Immune Dysregulation
[Pharming Group ] Pharming Group N.V. announced that the first patient has been dosed in a Phase II, proof of concept, clinical trial evaluating leniolisib in common variable immunodeficiency patients with immune dysregulation.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Updated Insights on the Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, Prevention, and Therapeutics
[Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] Scientists propose three mechanisms with determinant roles on systemic lupus erythematosus initiation and progression: attenuating the immune system, restoring the cytokine microenvironment homeostasis, and rescuing the impaired debris clearance machinery
Immune Regulation by the SUMO Family
[Nature Reviews Immunology] The authors consider how studies provide scientific basis for future exploration of SUMO-mediated immune modulation for the treatment of cancers and autoimmune disorders.
Ligand-Induced Ubiquitination Unleashes LAG3 Immune Checkpoint Function by Hindering Membrane Sequestration of Signaling Motifs
[Cell] Lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG3) was found to undergo robust non-K48-linked polyubiquitination upon ligand engagement, which promoted LAG3’s inhibitory function instead of causing degradation.
QRICH1 Mediates an Intracellular Checkpoint for CD8+ T Cell Activation Via the CARD11 Signalosome
[Science Immunology] Researchers defined a role for glutamine-rich protein 1 (QRICH1) in T cell receptor signal transduction through regulation of the caspase recruitment domain–containing protein 11 signaling scaffold.
Activating Antiviral Immune Responses Potentiates Immune Checkpoint Inhibition in Glioblastoma Models
[Journal of Clinical Investigation] The authors found that targeting zinc finger protein 638 induced viral mimicry in glioblastoma preclinical models and potentiated immune checkpoint inhibition.
Chemoresistance and Immune Evasion in HCC: The Role of miRNA-425-5p
[Carcinogenesis] Scientists investigated the role of miRNA-425-5p in exosomes in modulating the tumor microenvironment (TME) and contributing to chemoresistance and immune evasion in HCC.
For over a decade, Immune Regulation News has been keeping the scientific community up-to-date with the latest research and reviews related to immune regulation. Key research areas covered include the roles of regulatory T cells (Treg cells) in autoimmunity and self-reactivity, as well as immune response to disease, transplantation and cancer. We also provide vital updates on the latest jobs and upcoming events in the field of immunology.
