Sarcoidosis: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic strategies by Danfeng Xu, Xiaohua Tao, Yibin Fan, Yan Teng

“…Antigen stimulation in genetically predisposed individuals enhances the phagocytic activity of antigen-presenting cells, including macrophages and dendritic cells. CD4 + T cells initiate dysregulated immune responses and secrete significant quantities of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-2 and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), which play a crucial role in modulating the aggregation and fusion of macrophages to form granulomas. …”

S1P Lyase Regulation of Thymic Egress and Oncogenic Inflammatory Signaling by Ashok Kumar, Jesus Zamora-Pineda, Emilie Degagné, Julie D. Saba

“…For example, SPL located in thymic dendritic cells acts as a metabolic gatekeeper that controls the normal egress of mature T lymphocytes from the thymus into the circulation, whereas SPL deficiency in gut epithelial cells promotes colitis and colitis-associated carcinogenesis (CAC). …”

Defective removal of invariant chain peptides from MHC class II suppresses tumor antigen presentation and promotes tumor growth by Joanna Bandola-Simon, Yoshinaga Ito, Kai W. Wucherpfennig, Paul A. Roche

“…Summary: Tumor-draining lymph node dendritic cells (DCs) are poor stimulators of tumor antigen-specific CD4 T cells; however, the mechanism behind this defect is unclear. …”

Identifying RBBP7 as a Promising Diagnostic Biomarker for BK Virus-Associated Nephropathy by Yicun Wang, Yuxuan Wang, Di Zhang, Hao Zhang, Wei Wang, Xiaopeng Hu

“…In this research, upregulation of RBBP7 was found to be associated with the higher infiltration of CD8 naïve T, iTreg, and neutrophil cells and the lower amounts of Th1, central memory T, NKT, CD8 T, and dendritic cells. Moreover, the infiltration of Th1, Th17, and NKT cells was steadily different between BKVN and rejection allografts through immune cell assessment. …”

Characterization of the Hypercitrullination Reaction in Human Neutrophils and Other Leukocytes by Yebin Zhou, Tiziana Di Pucchio, Gary P. Sims, Nanette Mittereder, Tomas Mustelin

“…Using two independent western blotting methods, we report that agents that trigger a sufficiently large influx of extracellular calcium ions induced a marked citrullination of multiple proteins in human neutrophils, monocytes, and, to a lesser extent, T lymphocytes and natural killer cells, but not B lymphocytes or dendritic cells. This response required 250–1,000 μM extracellular calcium and was prevented by EDTA. …”
