Role of the afferent lymph as an immunological conduit to analyze tissue antigenic and inflammatory load. Cell Rep 2024; 43:114311. [PMID: 38848214 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.114311] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
The lymphatic fluid is the conduit by which part of the tissue "omics" is transported to the draining lymph node for immunosurveillance. Following cannulation of the pre-nodal cervical and mesenteric afferent lymphatics, herein we investigate the lymph proteomic composition, uncovering that its composition varies according to the tissue of origin. Tissue specificity is also reflected in the dendritic cell-major histocompatibility complex class II-eluted immunopeptidome harvested from the cervical and mesenteric nodes. Following inflammatory disruption of the gut barrier, the lymph antigenic and inflammatory loads are analyzed in both mice and subjects with inflammatory bowel diseases. Gastrointestinal tissue damage reflects the lymph inflammatory and damage-associated molecular pattern signatures, microbiome-derived by-products, and immunomodulatory molecules, including metabolites of the gut-brain axis, mapped in the afferent mesenteric lymph. Our data point to the relevance of the lymphatic fluid to probe the tissue-specific antigenic and inflammatory load transported to the draining lymph node for immunosurveillance.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a therapeutic option for various potentially life-threatening malignant and non-malignant diseases in children, such as malignancies, immunodeficiency syndromes, severe aplastic anemia, and inherited metabolic disorders. During transplantation, many factors can affect the nutritional status of the children, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, gastrointestinal disorders, graft-versus-host disease, and medications. Malnutrition has been associated with decreased overall survival and increased complications in children undergoing HSCT, making nutritional support a crucial component of their management. However, currently, there is a lack of guidelines or consensus on nutritional support for children undergoing HSCT in China. Therefore, this review summarizes the progress in nutritional support for children undergoing HSCT, aiming to provide clinical guidance.

Whey-based diet containing medium chain triglycerides modulates the gut microbiota and protects the intestinal mucosa from chemotherapy while maintaining therapy efficacy.

Abstract
Cytotoxicity (i.e. cell death) is the core mechanism by which chemotherapy induces its anti-cancer effects. Unfortunately, this same mechanism underpins the collateral damage it causes to healthy tissues. The gastrointestinal tract is highly susceptible to chemotherapy's cytotoxicity, resulting in ulcerative lesions (termed gastrointestinal mucositis, GI-M) that impair the functional capacity of the gut leading to diarrhea, anorexia, malnutrition and weight loss, which negatively impact physical/psychological wellbeing and treatment adherence. Preventing these side effects has proven challenging given the overlapping mechanisms that dictate chemotherapy efficacy and toxicity. Here, we report on a novel dietary intervention that, due to its localized gastrointestinal effects, is able to protect the intestinal mucosal from unwanted toxicity without impairing the anti-tumor effects of chemotherapy. The test diet (containing extensively hydrolyzed whey protein and medium chain triglycerides (MCTs)), was investigated in both tumor-naïve and tumor-bearing models to evaluate its effect on GI-M and chemo-efficacy, respectively. In both models, methotrexate was used as the representative chemotherapeutic agent and the diet was provided ad libitum for 14 days prior to treatment. GI-M was measured using the validated biomarker plasma citrulline, and chemo-efficacy defined by tumor burden (cm3/g body weight). The test diet significantly attenuated GI-M (P = 0.03), with associated reductions in diarrhea (P < 0.0001), weight loss (P < 0.05), daily activity (P < 0.02) and maintenance of body composition (P < 0.02). Moreover, the test diet showed significant impact on gut microbiota by increasing diversity and resilience, whilst also altering microbial composition and function (indicated by cecal short and brained chain fatty acids). The test diet did not impair the efficacy of methotrexate against mammary adenocarcinoma (tumor) cells. In line with the first model, the test diet minimized intestinal injury (P = 0.001) and diarrhea (P < 0.0001). These data support translational initiatives to determine the clinical feasibility, utility and efficacy of this diet to improve chemotherapy treatment outcomes.

Plasma Levels of MRP-8/14 Associate With Neutrophil Recovery, Bacterial Bloodstream Infections, and Engraftment Syndrome Following Pediatric Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation. Transplant Cell Ther 2023; 29:242.e1-242.e9. [PMID: 36587741 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2022.12.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Neutrophil engraftment is essential for the successful outcome after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but neutrophil activation may also induce transplant-related complications. Myeloid-related protein (MRP)-8/14 is expressed in granulocytes during inflammatory conditions and secreted in response to tissue damage along with the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines together with leukocyte recruitment and activation. In this study, we investigated associations between levels of the neutrophil activition marker MRP-8/14, neutrophil recovery and toxicities after pediatric HSCT. We included 73 children undergoing allogeneic HSCT using bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell grafts from matched sibling or unrelated donors. Plasma levels of MRP-8/14 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay from preconditioning until 6 months after transplantation. Overall, MRP-8/14 levels decreased from pre-conditioning to a nadir at day 7 and then rose again until day 28, preceding the reappearance of neutrophils. MRP-8/14 levels were significantly reduced at day 14 in patients with delayed neutrophil engraftment compared with patients who engrafted by day 21 (0.20 versus 0.48 μg/mL, P = .0012) and in patients who developed bacterial bloodstream infections compared to patients without this complication (0.2 versus 0.36 μg/mL, P = .048). Patients developing engraftment syndrome had significantly elevated MRP-8/14 levels at day 7 and 21 compared to patients without engraftment syndrome (0.32 versus 0.2 μg/mL, P = .042 and 1.9 versus 0.80 μg/mL, P = .039, respectively), as well as increased neutrophil counts from day 9 to 25 (P ≤ .016). Similarly, neutrophil counts were increased at day 13 to 17 in patients with acute graft-versus-host disease grade III-IV compared with grade 0-II. This study is the first to monitor neutrophil activation by MRP-8/14 in HSCT patients in relation to infectious, as well as noninfectious post-transplantation complications. Our results provide increased insights into the pathophysiology of these complications, and further studies should explore the potential use of MRP-8/14 as a clinically useful biomarker.

Abstract
Cell and gene therapies using haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) epitomize the transformative potential of regenerative medicine. Recent clinical successes for gene therapies involving autologous HSC transplantation (HSCT) demonstrate the potential of genetic engineering in this stem cell type for curing disease. With recent advances in CRISPR gene-editing technologies, methodologies for the ex vivo expansion of HSCs and non-genotoxic conditioning protocols, the range of clinical indications for HSC-based gene therapies is expected to significantly expand. However, substantial immunological challenges need to be overcome. These include pre-existing immunity to gene-therapy reagents, immune responses to neoantigens introduced into HSCs by genetic engineering, and unique challenges associated with next-generation and off-the-shelf HSC products. By synthesizing these factors in this Review, we hope to encourage more research to address the immunological issues associated with current and next-generation HSC-based gene therapies to help realize the full potential of this field.

Relationship of Immunonutritional factor with Changes in Liver Volume after Portal Vein Embolization. Surg Open Sci 2022; 9:117-124. [PMID: 35755162 PMCID: PMC9218550 DOI: 10.1016/j.sopen.2022.05.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background To identify predictors of changes in hepatic volumes after portal vein embolization, we examined the relationship with preoperative nutritional and immunological parameters. Patients and Methods Ninety-three patients who underwent portal vein embolization were included. The control group comprised 13 patients who underwent right hepatectomy without portal vein embolization. Computed tomographic volumetric parameter was measured for changes in embolized and nonembolized liver. Correlation with various candidates of immunonutritional parameters was examined. Results Difference in increased liver ratio was 9.1%. C-reactive protein levels significantly increased after portal vein embolization (P < .01), whereas albumin and total cholesterol levels significantly decreased, respectively (P < .01). The C-reactive protein/albumin ratio, prognostic nutritional index, Controlling Nutritional Status score, and modified Glasgow Prognostic Score were significantly different, respectively (P < .01). Prothrombin activity and total cholesterol level significantly correlated with the increased change in nonembolized liver (P < .05). The C-reactive protein and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio after portal vein embolization negatively correlated with hypertrophic ratio (P < .05). By comparing posthepatectomy outcomes between 64 patients undergoing portal vein embolization and 13 who did not, the prevalence of severe complications and mortality in the portal vein embolization group was not different from that in the non–portal vein embolization group. Liver activity at 15 minutes > 0.92 and increased liver volume ≥ 10% tended to correlate with lower prevalence of severe complications. Only increased intraoperative blood loss ≥ 1,500 mL was significantly associated with morbidity and mortality (P < .05). Conclusion Contrary to our hypothesis, immunonutritional parameters, except C-reactive protein and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio, did not reflect hypertrophy after portal vein embolization. Although it is difficult to predict the hypertrophic degree, the strategy of scheduled hepatectomy should be switched in case of impaired inflammatory status after portal vein embolization.

Abstract
Protein hydrolysate injection (PH) is a sterile solution of hydrolyzed protein and sorbitol that contains 17 amino acids and has a molecular mass of 185.0-622.0 g/mol. This study investigated the effect of PH on hematopoietic function in K562 cells and mice with cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced hematopoietic dysfunction. In these myelosuppressed mice, PH increased the number of hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow (BM) and regulated the concentration of several factors related to hematopoietic function. PH restored peripheral blood cell concentrations and increased the numbers of hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells (HSPCs), B lymphocytes, macrophages, and granulocytes in the BM of CTX-treated mice. Moreover, PH regulated the concentrations of macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF), interleukin (IL)-2, and other hematopoiesis-related cytokines in the serum, spleen, femoral condyle, and sternum. In K562 cells, the PH-induced upregulation of hematopoiesis-related proteins was inhibited by transfection with M-CSF siRNA. Therefore, PH might benefit the BM hematopoietic system via the regulation of M-CSF expression, suggesting a potential role for PH in the treatment of hematopoietic dysfunction caused by cancer therapy.

Abstract
The therapeutic efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is limited by the development of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In GVHD, rigorous pre-conditioning regimen resets the immune landscape and inflammatory milieu causing immune dysregulation, characterized by an expansion of alloreactive cells and a reduction in immune regulatory cells. In acute GVHD (aGVHD), the release of damage- and pathogen- associated molecular patterns from damaged tissue caused by the conditioning regimen sets the stage for T cell priming, activation and expansion further exacerbating tissue injury and organ damage, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract. Studies have shown that donor T cells utilize multiple energetic and biosynthetic pathways to mediate GVHD that can be distinct from the pathways used by regulatory T cells for their suppressive function. In chronic GVHD (cGVHD), donor T cells may differentiate into IL-21 producing T follicular helper cells or tissue resident T helper cells that cooperate with germinal center B cells or memory B cells, respectively, to produce allo- and auto-reactive antibodies with subsequent tissue fibrosis. Alternatively, donor T cells can become IFN- γ/IL-17 cytokine expressing T cells that mediate sclerodermatous skin injury. Patients refractory to the first line standard regimens for GVHD treatment have a poor prognosis indicating an urgent need for new therapies to restore the balance between effector and regulatory immune cells while preserving the beneficial graft-versus-tumor effect. Emerging data points toward a role for metabolism in regulating these allo- and auto-immune responses. Here, we will discuss the preclinical and clinical data available on the distinct metabolic demands of acute and chronic GVHD and recent efforts in identifying therapeutic targets using metabolomics. Another dimension of this review will examine the changing microbiome after allo-HSCT and the role of microbial metabolites such as short chain fatty acids and long chain fatty acids on regulating immune responses. Lastly, we will examine the metabolic implications of coinhibitory pathway blockade and cellular therapies in allo-HSCT. In conclusion, greater understanding of metabolic pathways involved in immune cell dysregulation during allo-HSCT may pave the way to provide novel therapies to prevent and treat GVHD.

Immunometabolism in haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and adoptive cellular therapies. Curr Opin Hematol 2021; 27:353-359.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Controlling T cell activity through metabolic manipulation has become a prominent feature in immunology and practitioners of both adoptive cellular therapy (ACT) and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have utilized metabolic interventions to control T cell function. This review will survey recent metabolic research efforts in HSCT and ACT to paint a broad picture of immunometabolism and highlight advances in each area. RECENT FINDINGS In HSCT, recent publications have focused on modifying reactive oxygen species, sirtuin signalling or the NAD salvage pathway within alloreactive T cells and regulatory T cells. In ACT, metabolic interventions that bolster memory T cell development, increase mitochondrial density and function, or block regulatory signals in the tumour microenvironment (TME) have recently been published. SUMMARY Metabolic interventions control immune responses. In ACT, efforts seek to improve the in-vivo metabolic fitness of T cells, while in HSCT energies have focused on blocking alloreactive T cell expansion or promoting regulatory T cells. Methods to identify new, metabolically targetable pathways, as well as the ability of metabolic biomarkers to predict disease onset and therapeutic response, will continue to advance the field towards clinically applicable interventions.

A Systematic Review of the Literature and Perspectives on the Role of Biomarkers in the Management of Malnutrition After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation. Front Immunol 2021; 11:535890. [PMID: 33488571 PMCID: PMC7815932 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2020.535890] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2020] [Accepted: 11/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Malnutrition is a common problem after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and could impair immune function. Immune dysfunction after allo-HSCT may be linked with infections, GVHD, and relapse and negatively affect the outcome. Aim of this review was to identify malnutrition biomarkers, potentially useful for immune-system monitoring, in the setting of allo-HSCT. After a systematic search, no satisfying biomarker was found, except for citrulline. Citrulline could be useful in monitoring gastrointestinal function after allo-HSCT and its role in the complex relationship with immune-system function ought to be better explored. A multi-omics approach, including biomarkers and PRO (patient reported outcomes) is, in our opinion, the optimal way to study the relationship between malnutrition and transplant outcomes.

Longitudinal relationship of amino acids and indole metabolites with long-term body mass index and cardiometabolic risk markers in young individuals. Sci Rep 2020; 10:6399. [PMID: 32286421 PMCID: PMC7156759 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-63313-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2019] [Accepted: 03/24/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Amino acid metabolites in biofluids are associated with high body mass index (BMI) and cardiometabolic abnormalities. However, prospective investigations regarding these associations are few, particularly among young individuals. Moreover, little is presently known about the impact of long-term high BMI. Using data from the DOrtmund Nutritional and Anthropometric Longitudinally Designed study (111 males and 107 females), we prospectively investigated relations between repeatedly measured urinary levels of 33 metabolites and (1) previously identified long-term BMI trajectory groups from childhood into late adolescence and (2) cardiometabolic risk markers in late adolescence–young adulthood, in sex-specific linear mixed regression models. Males with long-term overweight had lower indole-3-acetic acid when compared to others. Further, methionine, isoleucine, tryptophan, xanthurenic acid, and indole-3-carboxaldehyde were negatively associated with C-reactive protein (CRP), but 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid was positively associated with CRP. No associations were observed in females. Long-term overweight from childhood into late adolescence is associated with decreased urinary levels of gut bacteria-derived indole-3-acetic acid, and several urinary amino acids, including gut bacteria-derived indole-3-carboxaldehyde are associated with elevated CRP later on in life. Taken together, our data suggest that indole metabolites, and their gut bacteria producers play potentially important roles in overweight-related inflammation.
