Staphylococcus aureus-specific TIGIT+ Treg are present in the blood of healthy subjects – a hurdle for vaccination? by Jonah Clegg, Jonah Clegg, Malgorzata E. Mnich, Malgorzata E. Mnich, Alberto Carignano, Giovanni Cova, Simona Tavarini, Chiara Sammicheli, Bruna Clemente, Megan Smith, Megan Smith, Emilio Siena, Monia Bardelli, Michela Brazzoli, Fabio Bagnoli, Rachel M. McLoughlin, Elisabetta Soldaini

“…Remarkably, S. aureus-specific CD4+ T cells consisted not only of a broader spectrum of conventional T cells (Tcon) than previously described but also of regulatory T cells (Treg). As compared to polyclonally-activated CD4+ T cells, S. aureus-specific Tcon were enriched for the expression of the Th17-type cytokine genes IL17A, IL22 and IL26, while higher percentages of S. aureus-specific Treg expressed the T Cell Immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT), a pleiotropic immune checkpoint. …”

“…Cocultures of both MSCs with CD4+ T-cells resulted in recruitment of CD45RA+ FoxP3+ regulatory T-cells. Upon stimulation, only SM-MSCs suppressed CD4+ T-cell proliferation, while both SM-MSCs and BM-MSCs modified cytokine profiles through suppressing IL-2 and TNF-α as well as increasing IL-6 secretion. …”

Th2-Immune Polarizing and Anti-Inflammatory Properties of Insulin Are Not Effective in Type 2 Diabetic Pregnancy by Adnette Fagninou, Magloire Pandoua Nekoua, Darius Sossou, Kabirou Moutairou, Nadine Fievet, Akadiri Yessoufou

“…Our study showed that, despite insulin treatment, pregnant women with T2D displayed a proinflammatory status consistent with high proportions of CD3+ and CD4+ T cells, upregulation of Th1 cytokines, and low IL-10 production, suggesting a reduced immune-suppressive activity of regulatory T cells. However, GDM, although associated with proinflammatory status, has shown increased humoral immunity consistent with high proportion of CD19+ B cells. …”

Divergent response to radio-immunotherapy is defined by intrinsic features of the tumor microenvironment by Christian Klein, Maria Amann, Jacob Gadwa, Laurel B Darragh, Miles Piper, Diemmy Nguyen, Sana D Karam, Michael W Knitz, Justin Yu, Nicholas Olimpo, Sophia Corbo, Jessica I Beynor, Brooke Neupert, Alexander T Nguyen, Chloe Hodgson, Khalid NM Abdelazeem, Anthony Saviola, Laurene Pousse, Ali Bransi, Mudita Pincha

“…However, to date there are few preclinical models that accurately represent these disparate disease scenarios.Methods Using combinatorial radio-immunotherapy consisting of PD-1 blockade, IL2Rβγ biased signaling, and OX40 agonism we were able to generate preclinical tumor models with conflicting responses, where head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) models respond and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) progresses.Results By modeling these disparate states, we find that regulatory T cells (Tregs) are expanded in PDAC tumors undergoing treatment, constraining tumor reactive CD8 T cell activity. …”
