Abstract
Introduction Previously, we achieved large-scale expansion of bone marrow-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) derived from cluster of differentiation (CD)34+ cells cultured in human umbilical cord blood (hUCB) and demonstrated their immunomodulatory properties. In the present study, we assessed the therapeutic efficacy of hUCB-MDSCs in atopic dermatitis (AD). Methods Dermatophagoides farinae (Df)-induced NC/Nga mice (clinical score of 7) were treated with hUCB-MDSCs or a control drug. The mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of hUCB-MDSCs were evaluated. Results and discussion hUCB-MDSCs demonstrated immunosuppressive effects in both human and mouse CD4+ T cells. hUCB-MDSCs significantly reduced the clinical severity scores, which were associated with histopathological changes, and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, epidermal hyperplasia, and fibrosis. Furthermore, hUCB-MDSCs decreased the serum levels of immunoglobulin E, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-17, thymus- and activation-regulated chemokines, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin. Additionally, they altered the expression of the skin barrier function-related proteins filaggrin, involucrin, loricrin, cytokeratin 10, and cytokeratin 14 and suppressed the activation of Df-restimulated T-cells via cell-cell interactions. hUCB-MDSCs promoted skin recovery and maintained their therapeutic effect even after recurrence. Consequently, hUCB-MDSC administration improved Df-induced AD-like skin lesions and restored skin barrier function. Our findings support the potential of hUCB-MDSCs as a novel treatment strategy for AD.

A combination of burn wound injury and Pseudomonas infection elicits unique gene expression that enhances bacterial pathogenicity. mBio 2023; 14:e0245423.

Abstract
Burns are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide with the most common cause of death resulting from sepsis, often from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We previously reported that a non-lethal flame burn induced an altered host immune response. Using this model, gene expression in both the murine host and P. aeruginosa was measured using a NanoString custom probe panel. We observed differing patterns of gene expression in both host and P. aeruginosa in the skin, blood, liver, and spleen of mice that were burned and/or infected, compared to mice that were neither burned nor infected (i.e., Sham). In mice that were both burned and infected (B/I), we observed changes in gene expression in both the host and P. aeruginosa that were distinct from all other treatment conditions. These data suggest that the combination of the burned state and superimposed infection affects both host and pathogen gene expression to increase infection propensity. Gene transcription significantly changed from 6 to 24 h post-B/I in each tissue. Finally, inhibiting IL-10 signaling or co-administering arginine at the time of P. aeruginosa infection prolonged or restored survival in an otherwise 100% fatal burn and infection model. These findings suggest that disease states such as burns may differentially alter innate immune response gene expression in both a host- and pathogen-specific manner.IMPORTANCEThe interaction between an underlying disease process and a specific pathogen may lead to the unique expression of genes that affect bacterial pathogenesis. These genes may not be observed during infection in the absence of, or with a different underlying process or infection during the underlying process with a different pathogen. To test this hypothesis, we used Nanostring technology to compare gene transcription in a murine-burned wound infected with P. aeruginosa. The Nanostring probeset allowed the simultaneous direct comparison of immune response gene expression in both multiple host tissues and P. aeruginosa in conditions of burn alone, infection alone, and burn with infection. While RNA-Seq is used to discover novel transcripts, NanoString could be a technique to monitor specific changes in transcriptomes between samples and bypass the additional adjustments for multispecies sample processing or the need for the additional steps of alignment and assembly required for RNASeq. Using Nanostring, we identified arginine and IL-10 as important contributors to the lethal outcome of burned mice infected with P. aeruginosa. While other examples of altered gene transcription are in the literature, our study suggests that a more systematic comparison of gene expression in various underlying diseases during infection with specific bacterial pathogens may lead to the identification of unique host-pathogen interactions and result in more precise therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) expand when the body undergoes inflammatory diseases and chronic diseases. However, its role in intervertebral disc degeneration remains unclear. The present study aimed to characterize specific subsets of MDSCs as potential indicators of disease progression in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used to analyze the changes in granulocyte MDSCs (G-MDSCs). Peripheral blood samples were collected from 40 patients with LDH and 15 healthy controls, and flow cytometry was used to characterize different subsets of MDSCs. All subjects underwent lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging. Then, t-distributed stochastic neighborhood embedding and FlowSOM were used to analyze the data obtained by CytoFlex. The correlation between circulating MDSCs and the clinicopathological stage of LDH was then further analyzed. The GEO database predicted that G-MDSCs were highly expressed in patients with LDH. The frequency of circulating G-MDSCs increased with Pfirrmann stage III and IV, while the percentage of mononuclear MDSCs (M-MDSCs) only increased. Patient age and sex did not correlate with the frequency of circulating G-MDSCs and M-MDSCs. The results of the computer algorithm analysis were consistent with those of our manual gating. The present study showed that the occurrence of LDH led to changes in the MDSC subpopulation in the circulating peripheral blood of patients, and the frequency of circulating G-MDSCs in patients with clinical stage III and IV LDH increased with the degree of degeneration. The determination of G-MDSCs can be used as an auxiliary examination item for LDH.

Abstract
More than a century has passed since arginine was discovered, but the metabolism of the amino acid never ceases to amaze researchers. Being a conditionally essential amino acid, arginine performs many important homeostatic functions in the body; it is involved in the regulation of the cardiovascular system and regeneration processes. In recent years, more and more facts have been accumulating that demonstrate a close relationship between arginine metabolic pathways and immune responses. This opens new opportunities for the development of original ways to treat diseases associated with suppressed or increased activity of the immune system. In this review, we analyze the literature describing the role of arginine metabolism in the immunopathogenesis of a wide range of diseases, and discuss arginine-dependent processes as a possible target for therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
The anemia of critical illness (ACI) is a nearly universal pathophysiological consequence of burn injury and a primary reason burn patients require massive quantities of transfused blood. Inflammatory processes are expected to drive postburn ACI and prevent meaningful erythropoietic stimulation through iron or erythropoietin supplementation, but to this day no specific inflammatory pathways have been identified as a critical mechanism. In this study, we examined whether secretion of G-CSF and IL-6 mediates distinct features of postburn ACI and interrogated inflammatory mechanisms that could be responsible for their secretion. Our analysis of mouse and human skin samples identified the burn wound as a primary source of G-CSF and IL-6 secretion. We show that G-CSF and IL-6 are secreted independently through an IL-1/MyD88-dependent mechanism, and we ruled out TLR2 and TLR4 as critical receptors. Our results indicate that IL-1/MyD88-dependent G-CSF secretion plays a key role in impairing medullary erythropoiesis and IL-6 secretion plays a key role in limiting the access of erythroid cells to iron. Importantly, we found that IL-1α/β neutralizing Abs broadly attenuated features of postburn ACI that could be attributed to G-CSF or IL-6 secretion and rescued deficits of circulating RBC counts, hemoglobin, and hematocrit caused by burn injury. We conclude that wound-based IL-1/MyD88 signaling mediates postburn ACI through induction of G-CSF and IL-6 secretion.

Abstract
As burn injuries are often followed by a derailed immune response and excessive inflammation, a thorough understanding of the occurring reactions is key to prevent secondary complications. This systematic review, that includes 247 animal studies, shows the post-burn response of 14 different immune cell types involved in immediate and long-term effects, in both wound tissue and circulation. Peripheral blood neutrophil and monocyte numbers increased directly after burns, whereas thrombocyte numbers increased near the end of the first week. Lymphocyte numbers, however, were decreased for at least two weeks. In burn wound tissue, neutrophil and macrophage numbers accumulated during the first three weeks. Burns also altered cellular functions as we found increased migratory potential of leukocytes, impaired antibacterial activity of neutrophils and enhanced inflammatory mediator production by macrophages. Neutrophil surges were positively associated with burn size and were highest in rats. Altogether, this comprehensive overview of the temporal immune cell dynamics shows that unlike normal wound healing, burn injury induces a long-lasting inflammatory response. It provides a fundamental research basis to improve experimental set-ups, burn care and outcome.

Abstract
We previously showed that treating NOD mice with an agonistic monoclonal anti-TLR4/MD2 antibody (TLR4-Ab) reversed acute type 1 diabetes (T1D). Here, we show that TLR4-Ab reverses T1D by induction of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Unbiased gene expression analysis after TLR4-Ab treatment demonstrated upregulation of genes associated with CD11b+Ly6G+ myeloid cells and downregulation of T-cell genes. Further RNA sequencing of purified, TLR4-Ab-treated CD11b+ cells showed significant upregulation of genes associated with bone marrow-derived CD11b+ cells and innate immune system genes. TLR4-Ab significantly increased percentages and numbers of CD11b+ cells. TLR4-Ab-induced CD11b+ cells, derived ex vivo from TLR4-Ab-treated mice, suppress T cells, and TLR4-Ab-conditioned bone marrow cells suppress acute T1D when transferred into acutely diabetic mice. Thus, the TLR4-Ab-induced CD11b+ cells, by the currently accepted definition, are MDSCs able to reverse T1D. To understand the TLR4-Ab mechanism, we compared TLR4-Ab with TLR4 agonist lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which cannot reverse T1D. TLR4-Ab remains sequestered at least 48 times longer than LPS within early endosomes, alters TLR4 signaling, and downregulates inflammatory genes and proteins, including nuclear factor-κB. TLR4-Ab in the endosome, therefore, induces a sustained, attenuated inflammatory response, providing an ideal "second signal" for the activation/maturation of MDSCs that can reverse acute T1D.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogenous population of immature myeloid cells hallmarked by their potent immunosuppressive function in a vast array of pathologic conditions. MDSCs have recently been shown to exhibit marked expansion in acute inflammatory states including traumatic injury, burn, and sepsis. Although MDSCs have been well characterized in cancer, there are significant gaps in our knowledge of their functionality in trauma and sepsis, and their clinical significance remains unclear. It is suggested that MDSCs serve an important role in quelling profound inflammatory responses in the acute setting; however, MDSC accumulation may also predispose patients to developing persistent immune dysregulation with increased risk for nosocomial infections, sepsis, and multiorgan failure. Whether MDSCs may serve as the target for novel therapeutics or an important biomarker in trauma and sepsis is yet to be determined. In this review, we will discuss the current understanding of MDSCs within the context of specific traumatic injury types and sepsis. To improve delineation of their functional role, we propose a systemic approach to MDSC analysis including phenotypic standardization, longitudinal analysis, and expansion of clinical research.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) have both unique and common responses following hemorrhage, injury, and sepsis. HSPCs from different lineages have a distinctive response to these "stress" signals. Inflammation, via the production of inflammatory factors, including cytokines, hormones, and interferons, has been demonstrated to impact the differentiation and function of HSPCs. In response to injury, hemorrhagic shock, and sepsis, cellular phenotypic changes and altered function occur, demonstrating the rapid response and potential adaptability of bone marrow hematopoietic cells. In this review, we summarize the pathophysiology of emergency myelopoiesis and the role of myeloid-derived suppressor cells, impaired erythropoiesis, as well as the mobilization of HSPCs from the bone marrow. Finally, we discuss potential therapeutic options to optimize HSPC function after severe trauma or infection.

Abstract
In recent years, studying the role of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in many pathological inflammatory conditions has become a very active research area. Although the role of MDSCs in cancer is relatively well established, their role in non-cancerous pathological conditions remains in its infancy resulting in much confusion. Our objectives in this review are to address some recent advances in MDSC research in order to minimize such confusion and to provide an insight into their function in the context of other diseases. The following topics will be specifically focused upon: (1) definition and characterization of MDSCs; (2) whether all MDSC populations consist of immature cells; (3) technical issues in MDSC isolation, estimation and characterization; (4) the origin of MDSCs and their anatomical distribution in health and disease; (5) mediators of MDSC expansion and accumulation; (6) factors that determine the expansion of one MDSC population over the other; (7) the Yin and Yang roles of MDSCs. Moreover, the functions of MDSCs will be addressed throughout the text.

Abstract
Infection is a common and severe complication of burn injury: Sepsis accounts for 47% of postburn mortality. Burn-induced T cell suppression likely contributes to the increased infection susceptibility in burn patients. However, little is known about the kinetics of T cell dysfunction after burn and its underlying mechanisms. In this study, we show in a murine scald injury model that T cell activation of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells as well as T cell cytokine production is suppressed acutely and persistently for at least 11 days after burn injury. Purified T cells from scald-injured mice exhibit normal T cell functions, indicating an extrinsically mediated defect. We further show that T cell dysfunction after burn appears to be cell-to-cell contact dependent and can be ameliorated by depletion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells. These cells expand after burn injury, particularly a subset expressing the checkpoint inhibitor CD172a, and infiltrate germinal centers. Expression of CD172a appears to be driven by ingestion of immature reticulocytes. Immature reticulocytes are drastically increased in the spleen of scald mice and may contribute to immunosuppression through more direct mechanisms as well. Overall, our study newly identifies two cell populations, myeloid-derived suppressor cells and immature reticulocytes, as well as the CD47/CD172a-signaling pathways as mediators of T cell suppressors after burn and thus opens up new research opportunities in the search for new therapies to combat increased infection susceptibility and the associated morbidity and mortality in burn victims.
