    Notes: It is found that, in general, Wigner trajectories satisfy Liouville's theorem only locally, i.e., for restricted phase space and time domains. This fact limits their possible applications. Examples are provided to visualize the process of creation and destruction of Wigner trajectories. It is argued that Weyl transforms of Heisenberg operators are, however, viable alternatives to Wigner trajectories, even though they do not satisfy Liouville's theorem either.

    Description: Antigen-activated T lymphocytes undergo an immune or tolerogeneic response in part according to the activation status of their antigen-presenting cells. However, factors controlling the activation of antigen-presenting cells are not fully understood. In this study, we demonstrate that immune tolerance after organ allotransplantation in the rat is associated with a repressed intragraft expression of several enzymes of the trans-sulfuration pathway, including cystathionine -lyase (CSE). The pharmacologic blockade of CSE with propargylglycine delayed heart allograft rejection and abrogated type IV hypersensitivity but did not modify antibody responses, and was associated with a selective inhibition of the TH-1 type factors T-bet, IL-12, and IFN-. IL-12 repression could also be induced by propargylglycine in vitro in monocytes and dendritic cells (DCs), a phenomenon not mediated by changes to nuclear factor- B or hydrogen sulfide but that occurred together with a modulation of intracellular cysteine content. Intracellular cysteine levels were predominantly controlled in DCs by CSE activity, together with extracellular import via the X c – transporter. Our results indicate that CSE plays a critical role in regulating IL-12 in monocytes and DCs and is down-modulated in transplant tolerance, presumably participating in the maintenance of the tolerant state.

    Description: In a previous study, we identified TRIB1, a serine-threonine kinase-like molecule, as a biomarker of chronic antibody-mediated rejection of human kidneys when measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Here, we focused our analysis on a specific subset of peripheral blood mononuclear cells that play a dominant role in regulating immune responses in health and disease, so-called CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs). We isolated both human and murine Treg and non-Treg counterparts and analyzed TRIB1 and Foxp3 mRNA expression by quantitative PCR on the freshly isolated cells or following 24 h of activation. Physical interaction between the human TRIB1 and Foxp3 proteins was analyzed in live cell lines by protein complementation assay using both flow cytometry and microscopy and confirmed in primary freshly isolated human CD4+CD25hiCD127− Tregs by co-immunoprecipitation. Both TRIB1 and Foxp3 were expressed at significantly higher levels in Tregs than in their CD4+CD25− counterparts (p 〈 0.001). Moreover, TRIB1 and Foxp3 mRNA levels correlated tightly in Tregs (Spearman r = 1.0; p 〈 0.001, n = 7), but not in CD4+CD25− T cells. The protein complementation assay revealed a direct physical interaction between TRIB1 and Foxp3 in live cells. This interaction was impaired upon deletion of the TRIB1 N-terminal but not the C-terminal domain, suggesting an interaction in the nucleus. This direct interaction within the nucleus was confirmed in primary human Tregs by co-immunoprecipitation. These data show a direct relationship between TRIB1 and Foxp3 in terms of their expression and physical interaction and highlight Tribbles-1 as a novel binding partner of Foxp3 in Tregs.

    Description: Emerging knowledge regarding B cells in organ transplantation has demonstrated that these cells can no longer be taken as mere generators of deleterious Abs but can also act as beneficial players. We previously demonstrated in a rat model of cardiac allograft tolerance induced by short-term immunosuppression an accumulation in the blood of B cells overexpressing inhibitory molecules, a phenotype also observed in the blood of patients that spontaneously develop graft tolerance. In this study, we demonstrated the presence in the spleen of regulatory B cells enriched in the CD24 int CD38 + CD27 + IgD – IgM +/low subpopulation, which are able to transfer donor-specific tolerance via IL-10 and TGF-β1–dependent mechanisms and to suppress in vitro TNF-α secretion. Following anti-CD40 stimulation, IgD – IgM +/low B cells were blocked in their plasma cell differentiation pathway, maintained high expression of the inhibitory molecules CD23 and Bank1 , and upregulated Granzyme B and Irf4 , two molecules described as highly expressed by regulatory B cells. Interestingly, these B cells recognized specifically a dominant donor Ag, suggesting restricted specificity that could lead to a particular B cell response. Regulatory B cells were not required for induction of tolerance and appeared following Foxp3 + CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells, suggesting cooperation with regulatory T cells for their expansion. Nevertheless, following transfer to new recipients, these B cells migrated to the allograft, kept their regulatory profile, and promoted local accumulation of Foxp3 + CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells. Mechanisms of regulatory B cells and their cell therapy potential are important to decipher in experimental models to pave the way for future developments in the clinic.
