Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has emerged as an innovative organ preservation technique. Developing understanding for the donor immune cell composition and its dynamic changes during NMP is essential. We aimed a comprehensive characterization of (sub)populations, trafficking cytokine release liver NMP. Single-cell transcriptome profiling human livers prior to, after transplantation shows abundance CXC chemokine receptor 1+/2+ (CXCR1+/CXCR2+) neutrophils, which significantly decreased This paralleled by large efflux passenger leukocytes with neutrophil predominance in perfusate. During NMP, neutrophils shift from pro-inflammatory state towards aged/chronically activated/exhausted phenotype, while anti-inflammatory/tolerogenic monocytes/macrophages are increased. herein describe dynamics repertoire, phenotypic shifts dominance potentially contribute to inflammatory response. Our findings may serve resource initiate future immune-interventional studies.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are one of the most abundant immunosuppressive cells in tumor microenvironment and possess crucial functions facilitating progression. Emerging evidence indicates that altered metabolic properties cancer support tumorigenic TAMs. However, mechanisms mediators underly cross-talk between TAMs remain largely unknown. In present study, we revealed high solute carrier family 3 member 2 (SLC3A2) expression lung patients was associated with poor prognosis. Knockdown SLC3A2 adenocarcinoma impaired M2 polarization a coculture system. Using metabolome analysis, identified knockdown metabolism changed multiple metabolites, including arachidonic acid, microenvironment. More importantly, showed acid responsible for SLC3A2-mediated macrophage to differentiate into type both vitro vivo. Our data illustrate previously undescribed TAM suggest acts as switch on induce phenotypic reprogramming through acid.

Abstract The complement field has recently experienced a strong resurgence of interest because the unexpected discovery new functions extending complement’s role beyond immunity and pathogen clearance, growing list diseases in which plays role, proliferation therapeutics. Importantly, although majority components circulation are generated by liver activated extracellularly, activation unexpectedly also occurs intracellularly across broad range cells. Such cell-autonomous can engage intracellular receptors, then drive noncanonical cell-specific effector functions. Thus, much remains to be discovered about biology. In this brief review, we focus on novel activities its “classic areas operation” (kidney brain biology, infection, autoimmunity), with an outlook next generation complement-targeted

Abstract Macrophages are abundant immune cells in the microenvironment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Macrophage estimation by immunohistochemistry shows varying prognostic significance across studies DLBCL, and does not provide a comprehensive analysis macrophage subtypes. Here, using digital spatial profiling with whole transcriptome CD68+ cells, we characterize macrophages distinct niches reactive lymphoid tissues (RLTs) DLBCL. We reveal transcriptomic differences between within RLTs (light zone /dark zone, germinal center/ interfollicular), disease states (RLTs/ DLBCL), which then use to generate six spatially-derived signatures (MacroSigs). proceed interrogate these MacroSigs DLBCL single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets, gene-expression data from multiple cohorts. show that specific associated cell-of-origin subtypes overall survival This study provides spatially-resolved whole-transcriptome atlas malignant tissues, showing biological clinical significance.

The role of complement in cancer has received increasing attention over the last decade. Recent studies provide compelling evidence that accelerates progression. Despite pivotal fighting microbes, seems to suppress antitumor immunity via regulation host cell tumor microenvironment. Although most link activation extracellular space, discovery intracellular complement, raises question: what is relevance this process for malignancy? Intracellular survival immune cells. Therefore, can be important and growth regardless immunosuppression. On other hand, because (the complosome) indispensable T cells, these functions will essential priming responses. Here, we review with consideration extra pathways spatial distribution proteins tumors periphery our take on potential significance as biomarker target therapy.

Myeloid cells facilitate T cell immune evasion in cancer yet are pliable and have antitumor potential. Here, by cotargeting myeloid activation molecules, we leveraged the compartment as a therapeutic vulnerability mouse models of pancreatic cancer. solid tumors expressed receptors including pattern recognition receptor Dectin-1 TNF superfamily member CD40. In checkpoint inhibitor-resistant cancer, coactivation Dectin-1, via systemic β-glucan therapy, CD40, with agonist antibody treatment, eradicated established induced immunological memory. Antitumor activity was dependent on cDC1s but did not require classical cell-mediated cytotoxicity or blockade molecules. Rather, targeting CD40 drove IFN-γ signaling, which converged to program distinct macrophage subsets tumor responses. Thus, productive surveillance resistant inhibition can be invoked complementary signaling pathways.
