    Abstract: Circulating monocytic myeloid-derived suppressive cells (M-MDSCs) are implicated as a poor prognostic factor and cause CAR T-cell failure in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) are a transmembrane glycoprotein that polarize macrophages to anti-inflammation phenotype but have never been explored on M-MDSCs. This study aims to elucidate the expression and clinical impact of surface TREM2 on circulating M-MDSCs derived from DLBCL adults. Methods This prospective, observational study enrolled 100 adults with newly diagnosed and treatment-naïve DLBCL from May 2019 to October 2021. Human circulating M-MDSCs were obtained from freshly isolated peripheral blood, and each patient’s surface-TREM2 level on M-MDSCs was normalized via a healthy control at the same performance of flow-cytometry analysis. Murine MDSCs derived from bone marrow (BM-MDSCs) were adopted to assess the link between Trem2 and cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Results More circulating M-MDSCs at diagnosis of DLBCL predicted worse progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Patients with higher IPI scores, bone marrow involvement, or lower absolute counts of CD4 + or CD8 + T cells in PB had significantly higher normalized TREM2 levels on M-MDSCs. Additionally, normalized TREM2 levels on M-MDSCs could be grouped into low ( 〈  2%), medium (2–44%), or high ( 〉  44%) levels, and a high normalized TREM2 level on M-MDSCs was proven as an independent prognostic factor for both PFS and OS via multivariate Cox regression analysis and associated with worst PFS and OS. Interestingly, normalized levels of surface TREM2 on M-MDSCs were negatively associated with absolute counts of PB CD8 + T cells and positively correlated with levels of intracellular arginase 1 (ARG1) within M-MDSCs. Wild-type BM-MDSCs had significantly higher mRNA levels of Arg1 and showed more prominent ability to suppress the proliferation of co-cultured CD8 + T cells than BM-MDSCs from Trem2 knockout mice, and the suppressive ability could be impaired by adding Arg1 inhibitors (CB1158) or supplementing L-arginine. Conclusion In treatment-naïve DLBCL adults, a high surface-TREM2 level on circulating M-MDSCs is a poor prognostic factor for both PFS and OS and warrants further investigation for its potential as a novel target in immunotherapy.

    Abstract: The PD-1/PD-L1 pathway is critical in T cell biology; however, the role of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway in clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes in pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients is unclear. We prospectively enrolled PTB, latent TB infection (LTBI), and non-TB, non-LTBI subjects. The expression of PD-1/PD-L1 on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was measured and correlated with clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes in PTB patients. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were used to visualize PD-1/PD-L1-expressing cells in lung tissues from PTB patients and from murine with heat-killed MTB (HK-MTB) treatment. A total of 76 PTB, 40 LTBI, and 28 non-TB, non-LTBI subjects were enrolled. The expression of PD-1 on CD4+ T cells and PD-L1 on CD14+ monocytes was significantly higher in PTB cases than non-TB subjects. PTB patients with sputum smear/culture unconversion displayed higher PD-L1 expression on monocytes. PD-L1-expressing macrophages were identified in lung tissue from PTB patients, and co-localized with macrophages in murine lung tissues. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) whole cell lysate/EsxA stimulation of human and mouse macrophages demonstrated increased PD-L1 expression. In conclusion, increased expression of PD-L1 on monocytes in PTB patients correlated with higher bacterial burden and worse treatment outcomes. The findings suggest the involvement of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway in MTB-related immune responses.

    Abstract: The link between elevated serum uric acid ( SUA ) levels and cardiovascular disease ( CVD )–related mortality in the elderly population remains inconclusive. Nutritional status influences both SUA and CVD outcomes. Therefore, we investigated whether SUA ‐predicted mortality and the effect‐modifying roles of malnourishment in older people. Methods and Results A longitudinal Taiwanese cohort including 127 771 adults 65 years and older participating in the Taipei City Elderly Health Examination Program from 2001 to 2010 were stratified by 1‐mg/dL increment of SUA . Low SUA ( 〈 4 mg/dL) strata was categorized by malnourishment status defined as Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index 〈 98, serum albumin 〈 38 g/L, or body mass index 〈 22 kg/m 2 . Study outcomes were all‐cause and CVD ‐related mortality. Cox models were used to estimate hazard ratios ( HRs ) of mortality, after adjusting for 20 demographic and comorbid covariates. Over a median follow‐up of 5.8 years, there were 16 439 all‐cause and 3877 CVD ‐related deaths. Compared with the reference SUA strata of 4 to 〈 5 mg/dL, all‐cause mortality was significantly higher at SUA 〈 4 mg/dL ( HR , 1.16; 95% confidence interval, 1.07–1.25) and ≥8 mg/dL ( HR , 1.13; confidence interval, 1.06–1.21), with progressively elevated risks at both extremes. Similarly, increasingly higher CVD ‐related mortality was found at the SUA level 〈 4 mg/dL ( HR , 1.19; confidence interval, 1.00–1.40) and ≥7 mg/dL ( HR , 1.17; confidence interval, 1.04–1.32). Remarkably, among the low SUA ( 〈 4 mg/dL) strata, only malnourished participants had greater all‐cause and CVD ‐related mortality. This modifying effect of malnourishment remained consistent across subgroups. Conclusions SUA ≥8 or 〈 4 mg/dL independently predicts higher all‐cause and CVD ‐related mortality in the elderly, particularly in those with malnourishment.

    Abstract: Whether elevated serum uric acid levels (SUA) predict renal dysfunction remains controversial in the elderly. Therefore, we investigated the association between SUA and early renal function decline defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reduction ≥30% over 2 years. From 2001 to 2010, we conducted a longitudinal cohort study comprising 44,078 participants aged ≥65 years in the Taipei City Elderly Health Examination Database. Participants were classified by 1-mg/dL increment of SUA. We used multivariable logistic and Cox regression analyses to compare the risk of early renal function decline in different SUA groups. Compared to the reference SUA group of 5.0–5.9 mg/dL, hyperuricemic participants had increased risks of eGFR decline, starting at SUA ≥6.0 mg/dL (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.21, 95% confidence interval [CI]  = 1.00–1.45). The risk progressively elevated as SUA increased, with the highest in the SUA ≥10.0 mg/dL group (aOR = 3.20, CI = 2.39–4.28). Multivariable Cox regression further confirmed that hyperuricemia was 1.12-fold (CI = 1.03–1.22, SUA ≥6.0 mg/dL) to 1.6-fold (CI = 1.37–1.86, SUA ≥10.0 mg/dL) more likely to develop early eGFR decline. Hyperuricemia-associated increased risks for early eGFR decline were consistent across subgroup and sensitivity analyses. Collectively, SUA ≥6.0 mg/dL independently predicted early renal dysfunction with eGFR decline ≥30% over 2 years in older people.

    Abstract: Neutrophils are involved in the alveolitis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, their pathogenic mechanisms are still poorly understood. Nintedanib has antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory activity in IPF. This study aimed to investigate the regulatory mechanism of nintedanib on neutrophil chemotaxis in bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Nintedanib was administered via oral gavage to male C57BL/6 mice 24 h after a bleomycin intratracheal injection (1.5 U/kg). Lung histopathological findings, the expression of cytokines, and the regulatory signaling pathways of neutrophil chemotaxis were analyzed. The effect of nintedanib was also investigated in a mouse model with adoptive neutrophil transfer in vivo. Nintedanib significantly decreased the histopathological changes and neutrophil recruitment in BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Nintedanib mediated a downregulation of chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 2 (CXCR2) and very late antigen 4 (VLA-4) expression, as well as an upregulation of G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) activity in peripheral blood neutrophils in BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Nintedanib also decreased the activation of endothelial cells by the decreased expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1). The effect of nintedanib on regulating neutrophil chemotaxis was also confirmed by a mouse model with adoptive neutrophil transfer in vivo. In conclusion, nintedanib reduces neutrophil chemotaxis and endothelial cell activation to regulate the severity of BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis. These effects are associated with an enhancement of GRK2 activity and a reduction in CXCR2 and VLA-4 expression on neutrophils and a decrease in VCAM-1 expression on endothelial cells.

    Abstract: Toll‐like receptors ( TLR ) recognize pathogens and trigger the production of vigorous pro‐inflammatory cytokines [such as tumour necrosis factor ( TNF )] that induce systemic damages associated with sepsis and chronic inflammation. Cooperation between signals of TLR and TNF receptor has been demonstrated through the participation of TNF receptor 1 ( TNFR ) adaptors in endotoxin tolerance. Here, we identify a TLR 2‐mediated synergy, through a MyD88‐independent crosstalk, which enhances subsequent TNF ‐mediated nuclear factor‐kappa B activation and interleukin‐6 induction. Membrane‐associated adaptor MAL conduces the link between TNF receptor‐associated factor 6 ( TRAF 6) and TNFR ‐associated death domain, leading to a distinctive K63‐ubiquitinylated TRAF 6 recruitment into TNFR complex. In summary, our results reveal a novel route of TLR signal that synergistically amplifies TNF ‐mediated responses, indicating an innovative target for inflammation manipulation.

    Abstract: Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess (KPLA) is prevalent in East Asia. Liver abscess can develop after translocation of K. pneumoniae from a patient's bowel into the liver via the portal circulation. TREM-1 ( t riggering r eceptor e xpressed on m yeloid cells 1 ) amplifies inflammatory signaling during infection, but its role in KPLA is poorly understood. We used an animal study to characterize the role of TREM-1 in KPLA. We compared survival rates, bacterial burdens in tissues, inflammatory cytokine levels, and histology findings between wild-type and Trem-1 knockout (KO) mice after oral inoculation of capsular type K1 K. pneumoniae . Translocation of K. pneumoniae to mesenteric lymph nodes and liver was examined, and intestinal permeability, antimicrobial peptide expression, and the clearance of K. pneumoniae in the small intestine were determined. In the absence of TREM-1, KPLA model mice showed increased K. pneumoniae dissemination, enhanced liver and systemic inflammation, and reduced survival. Impaired bacterial clearance in the small intestine causes enhanced K. pneumoniae translocation, which renders Trem-1 KO mice more susceptible to K. pneumoniae oral infection. In conclusion, TREM-1-mediated bacterial clearance in the small intestine is an important immune response against K. pneumoniae . TREM-1 deficiency enhances K. pneumoniae translocation in the small intestine and increases mortality rates in mice with KPLA.

    Abstract: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play crucial roles in host immune defenses. Recently, TLR-mediated autophagy is reported to promote immune responses via increasing antigen processing and presentation in antigen presenting cells. The present study examined whether the synthetic TLR4 activator (CCL-34) could induce autophagy to promote innate and adaptive immunity. In addition, the potential of CCL-34 as an immune adjuvant in vivo was also investigated. Our data using RAW264.7 cells and bone marrow-derived macrophages showed that CCL-34 induced autophagy through a TLR4-NF-κB pathway. The autophagy-related molecules (Nrf2, p62 and Beclin 1) were activated in RAW264.7 cells and bone marrow-derived macrophages under CCL-34 treatment. CCL-34-stimulated macrophages exhibited significant antigen-processing activity and induced the proliferation of antigen-specific CD4+T cells as well as the production of activated T cell-related cytokines, IL-2 and IFN-γ. Furthermore, CCL-34 immunization in mice induced infiltration of monocytes in the peritoneal cavity and elevation of antigen-specific IgG in the serum. CCL-34 treatment in vivo did not cause toxicity based on serum biochemical profiles. Notably, the antigen-specific responses induced by CCL-34 were attenuated by the autophagy inhibitor, 3-methyladenine. In summary, we demonstrated CCL-34 can induce autophagy to promote antigen-specific immune responses and act as an efficient adjuvant.
