    Abstract: Neutropenia and impaired functions were common manifestation in antiretroviral therapy (ART) in both naïve and experienced PLWHA. Granulopoiesis can be divided into two phases: lineage determination and committed granulopoiesis. However, stage-specific impairment of granulopoiesis in PLWHA with neutropenia remains unclear. A total of 48 ART-naïve and 49 ART-experienced PLWHA from 2016 to 2018 were recruited and divided into non-, mild-, and moderate-to-severe-neutropenia groups according to their neutrophil counts. The bone marrow aspirates and peripheral blood were collected and analyzed by multicolor flow cytometry for granulocyte subsets, hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC), apoptosis, and emigration and retention of different subsets. Compared with healthy donors, the percentages of circulating segmented neutrophils were significantly decreased along with an increase of immature neutrophils in both groups. ART-naïve patients with moderate to severe neutropenia exhibited decreased proportion and accelerated apoptosis of relative mature segmented neutrophils. In contrast, ART-experienced patients with neutropenia displayed decreased proportion of granulocyte macrophage progenitors, indicating a defect at a stage of lineage determination. Meanwhile, ART-experienced patients with neutropenia also the expression of CXCR4 segmented neutrophils, suggesting an increased retention of segmented neutrophils inn the bone marrow. ART-naïve patients with neutropenia is caused by increased apoptosis of relatively differentiated neutrophils at committed granulopoiesis, whereas impaired lineage determination and enhanced retention of segmented neutrophils contribute to in ART-experienced patients.

    Abstract: We conducted a phase II, noncomparative, multicenter study to assess the efficacy and safety of allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) expanded in vitro for patients with aplastic anemia (AA) refractory to immunosuppressive therapy. Seventy-four patients from seven centers received allogeneic BM-MSCs at a dose of 1–2 × 106 cells/kg per week for 4 weeks. Responses were assessed at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the first cells infusion. Patients with response at 1 month continued to receive four infusions. All patients were evaluable. The overall response rate was 28.4% (95% confidence interval, 19%–40%), with 6.8% complete response and 21.6% partial response. The median times to response of leukocytic, erythrocytic, and megakaryocytic linages were 19 (range, 11–29), 17 (range, 12–25), and 31 (range, 26–84) days, respectively. After median follow-up of 17 months, overall survival was 87.8%. Seven patients developed transitory and mild headache and fever, but no other adverse events were observed. Antithymocyte globulin used in previous treatment and no activated infection throughout treatment were predictors for response. Allogeneic BM-MSCs infusion is a feasible and effective treatment option for refractory AA. The trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00195624.

    Abstract: The history of immunizing with embryonic materials to generate an antitumor immune response dates back to a century ago. The premise is that cancer cells share the expression of oncofetal antigens with embryonic materials and that the immune response against these antigens in the embryonic tissues is cross-protective against cancer. However, such a practice has never advanced beyond experimental animal settings, because of lack of uniformed source tissues and ethical challenges. With the availability of well-characterized human pluripotent stem cells, it is now possible to ask whether tumor protective immunity could indeed be elicited with stem cells. Herein, we investigated whether vaccination with defined human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) or induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells was effective against a colon carcinoma. We discovered that vaccination of mice with hESC line H9 generated consistent cellular and humoral immune responses against CT26 colon carcinoma. Protection correlated strongly with the expansion of tumor-responsive and interferon-γ-producing cells and the profound loss of CD11b+Gr-1+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the spleen. No evidence of autoimmunity was observed. We also compared the immunogenicity against colon cancer between a hESC line CT2 and an iPS cell line TZ1 that were generated in the same stem cell facility. We found that the iPS cell line was inferior to the hESC line in conferring tumor protection, suggesting that there is heterogeneity of expression of oncofetal antigens by hESCs and iPS cells. We conclude that the hESC-based vaccine is a promising modality for immunotherapy of cancer. Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest is found at the end of this article.

    Abstract: Recently, evidence has suggested that chronic endometritis (CE) is a crucial factor associated with infertility and failure of assisted reproductive techniques, prompting concern in the reproductive field. Studies have shown that persistent infiltered immune cells stimulation result in the disturbance of endometrial immune microenvironment could lead to the infertility of CE patients finally. Conventional treatments are limited because they lack immune regulation, so it is urgent to develop a novel approach to treat CE and promote embryo implantation in patients with CE. Herein, we prepared recombinant humanized type III collagen (rhCol III) with high cell adhesion activity to regulate macrophages and repair the endometrium. In this study, M1 macrophages and M1 macrophages cultured medium and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) co-stimulated inflammatory endometrium stromal cells (ESCs) were established in vitro to mimic CE condition. rhCol III promoted M1 macrophages toward M2 phenotype, improved cell migration, viability and collagen components of inflammatory ESCs. Also, the inflammatory response of inflammatory ESCs was downregulated after rhCol III treatment. Subsequently, LPS was used for CE rat model and a 28-day observation was performed; inflammatory cells’ infiltration, endometrium repair, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and pregnancy outcomes were promoted after rhCol III endometrial infusion. In conclusion, rhCol III promoted (i) macrophage polarization toward M2 macrophages, (ii) pro-inflammatory cytokine production and anti-inflammatory cytokine reduction, (iii) ECM remodeling and (iv) fertility restoration. Meanwhile, rhCol III enhanced cell biological functions by interacting with discoidin domain receptors, regulated cell metabolism and reduced the inflammatory response through the inhibition of the NF-κB/YAP signaling pathway. Overall, the results illustrated the potential therapeutic prospects of rhCol III for CE treatment.

    Abstract: Herein, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with docetaxel and carboplatin as a neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Fifty-one patients with OSCC, treated from July 2020 to October 2022, were analyzed. Of them, 41 patients underwent surgery 4–8 weeks after undergoing two cycles of camrelizumab (200 mg IV Q3W) combined with docetaxel (75 mg/m2 IV Q3W) and carboplatin (area under the curve = 5–6 IV Q3W). The primary endpoint was the pathological complete response rate. All 51 patients (100%) experienced treatment-related grades 1–2 adverse events, and 2 patients (3.9%) experienced grade 4 events (including elevated alanine transaminase/aspartate transferase levels and Guillain–Barre syndrome). Fifty patients were evaluated for the treatment efficacy. Of them, 13 achieved complete response, and the objective response rate was 74%. Only 41 patients underwent surgical treatment. The pathological complete response rate was 17.1%, the major pathological response rate was 63.4%, and the R0 resection rate was 100%. Approximately 22% of the patients had tumor regression grades 0. Eight patients (19.5%) developed surgery-related complications. The median follow-up time was 18 months (range: 3–29 months). Four patients experienced disease progression, while four died. The median disease-free survival and overall survival were not reached. Camrelizumab combined with docetaxel and carboplatin is an effective and safe neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced OSCC. This regimen may afford a potential strategy to treat patients with locally advanced OSCC.

    Abstract: The extensive geographical distribution and high mortality rate of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) have made it an important threat to public health. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) can be activated by a variety of pathogens and are associated with thrombocytopenia in viral infections. We aimed to identify NET production and its predictive value for disease progression and prognosis in patients with SFTS. Methods A prospective study was performed with a multicenter cohort of patients with SFTS (n = 112) to quantify serum NET levels. Three markers of NETs—namely, cell-free DNA (cfDNA), myeloperoxidase-DNA complexes, and lactoferrin-DNA complexes—were measured with PicoGreen double-stranded DNA assays and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Receiver operating characteristic curves and multivariate regression analyses were performed to calculate the predictive value of cfDNA levels. Results SFTS was characterized by pronounced NET formation. The serum levels of NETs changed dynamically during disease progression, with an inverse pattern of the trends of platelet and neutrophil levels. High cfDNA levels were strongly associated with multiple pathological processes, including coagulopathy, myocardial damage, liver dysfunction, and the development of encephalopathy. A high level of cfDNA ( & gt;711.7 ng/mL) at the time of the initial diagnosis predicted severe illness in patients with SFTS (odds ratio, 8.285 [95% confidence interval, 2.049–33.503]; P = .003). Conclusions This study has a high degree of clinical impact for identification of cfDNA as a useful predictive biomarker of clinical outcomes of SFTS.

    Abstract: Intrahost analysis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genomic sequences identified 2 viral haplotypes comprised of 3 genetically linked mutations from the respiratory and intestinal tracts of a patient with coronavirus disease 2019. Spatiotemporal data suggest that this patient initially had dual infection of 2 SARS-CoV-2 variants, which subsequently redistributed into the 2 systems.

    Abstract: The multidrug transporter ABCG2 in cell membranes enables various stem cells and cancer cells to efflux chemicals, including the fluorescent dye Hoechst 33342. The Hoechst− cells can be sorted out as a side population with stem cell properties. Abcg2 expression in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) reduces accumulation of DNA-damaging metabolites in the cells, which helps prevent cell differentiation. Surprisingly, we found that human ESCs do not express ABCG2 and cannot efflux Hoechst. In contrast, trophoblasts and neural epithelial cells derived from human ESCs are ABCG2+ and Hoechst−. Human ESCs ectopically expressing ABCG2 become Hoechst−, more tolerant of toxicity of mitoxantrone, a substrate of ABCG2, and more capable of self-renewal in basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-free condition than control cells. However, Hoechstlow cells sorted as a small subpopulation from human ESCs express lower levels of pluripotency markers than the Hoechsthigh cells. Similar results were observed with human induced pluripotent stem cells. Conversely, mouse ESCs are Abcg2+ and mouse trophoblasts, Abcg2−. Thus, absence of ABCG2 is a novel feature of human pluripotent stem cells, which distinguishes them from many other stem cells including mouse ESCs, and may be a reason why they are sensitive to suboptimal culture conditions.
