Major low-energy trauma results in non-specific immunoglobulin generation without evidence for specific autoantibody production: A prospective cohort study. Scand J Immunol 2024:e13368. [PMID: 38527944 DOI: 10.1111/sji.13368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 02/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/02/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
Cellular debris resulting from large trauma might overwhelm the scavenger mechanisms and lead to autoimmune reactions. We analysed whether a major well-defined trauma in humans induces laboratory signs of transient autoimmunity in the months after the insult. We included 50 patients with pertrochanteric femur fracture undergoing intramedullary nail osteosynthesis in a prospective cohort study and followed them at 3-4 days, 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 12 months postoperatively. By standard techniques, we assessed levels of total immunoglobulins, anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-cardiolipin antibodies, anti-dsDNA antibodies and anti-C1q antibodies, as well as antibodies against cytomegalovirus (CMV) as a control. Blood leukocyte differential and lymphocyte subpopulations were determined at baseline and in the first two postoperative samples. The mean age of the patients reached 80.1 years, and 23 (46%) completed all visits. Serum concentrations of total IgG, IgM and IgA increased at all follow-up time points. The ANA fluorescence light intensity units increased at 12 weeks and 12 months postoperatively (p < 0.0001), but the proportion of ANA-positive patients did not change (35%). The values of anti-C1q mildly increased at all follow-up visits, but not the ratio to total IgG. Anti-dsDNA remained negative in all patients, and anti-cardiolipin IgG/IgM antibodies did not change. Anti-CMV IgG antibodies increased significantly at all follow-up visits, without change in the ratio to total IgG. Flow cytometry showed an increased proportion of B-cells 3-4 days postoperatively. In conclusion, major musculoskeletal trauma in elderly patients induces a generalized non-specific increase in immunoglobulin production without laboratory signs for enhanced systemic autoimmunity.

Abstract
Inflammation is crucial in diseases, and proteins play a key role in the interplay between innate immunity and pathology. This review explores how proteomics helps understanding this relationship, focusing on diagnosis and treatment. We explore the dynamic innate response and the significance of proteomic techniques in deciphering the complex network of proteins involved in prevalent diseases, including infections, cancer, autoimmune and neurodegenerative disorders. Proteomics identifies key proteins in host-pathogen interactions, shedding light on infection mechanisms and inflammation. These discoveries hold promise for diagnostic tools, therapies, and vaccines. In cancer research, proteomics reveals innate signatures associated with tumor development, immune evasion, and therapeutic response. Additionally, proteomic analysis has unveiled autoantigens and dysregulation of the innate immune system in autoimmunity, offering opportunities for early diagnosis, disease monitoring, and new therapeutic targets. Moreover, proteomic analysis has identified altered protein expression patterns in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, providing insights into potential therapeutic strategies. Proteomics of the innate immune system provides a comprehensive understanding of disease mechanisms, identifies biomarkers, and enables effective interventions in various diseases. Despite still in its early stages, this approach holds great promise to revolutionize innate immunity research and significantly improve patient outcomes across a wide range of diseases.

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases (ADs) are closely related to malignant tumours. On the one hand, ADs can increase the incidence of tumours; on the other hand, malignant tumours can cause rheumatic disease-like manifestations. With the increasing depth of analysis into the mechanism of N6 -methyladenosine (m6A) modification, it has been found that changes in m6A-related modification enzymes are closely related to the occurrence and development of ADs and malignant tumours. In this review, we explore the pathogenesis of ADs and tumours based on m6A modification. According to systematic assessment of the similarities between ADs and tumours, m6A may represent a common target of both diseases. At present, most of the drugs targeting m6A are in the research and development stage, not in clinical trials. Therefore, advancing the development of drugs targeting m6A is of great significance for both the combined treatment of ADs and malignant tumours and improving the quality of life and prognosis of patients.

Abstract
The conventional therapeutic approaches to treat autoimmune diseases through suppressing the immune system, such as steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are not adequately practical. Moreover, these regimens are associated with considerable complications. Designing tolerogenic therapeutic strategies based on stem cells, immune cells, and their extracellular vesicles (EVs) seems to open a promising path to managing autoimmune diseases' vast burden. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), dendritic cells, and regulatory T cells (Tregs) are the main cell types applied to restore a tolerogenic immune status; MSCs play a more beneficial role due to their amenable properties and extensive cross-talks with different immune cells. With existing concerns about the employment of cells, new cell-free therapeutic paradigms, such as EV-based therapies, are gaining attention in this field. Additionally, EVs' unique properties have made them to be known as smart immunomodulators and are considered as a potential substitute for cell therapy. This review provides an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of cell-based and EV-based methods for treating autoimmune diseases. The study also presents an outlook on the future of EVs to be implemented in clinics for autoimmune patients.

Abstract
Inflammation is an integral part of autoimmune diseases, which are caused by dysregulation of the immune system. This dysregulation involves an imbalance between pro-inflammatory versus anti-inflammatory mediators. These mediators include various cytokines and chemokines; defined subsets of T helper/T regulatory cells, M1/M2 macrophages, activating/tolerogenic dendritic cells, and antibody-producing/regulatory B cells. Despite the availability of many anti-inflammatory/immunomodulatory drugs, the severe adverse reactions associated with their long-term use and often their high costs are impediments in effectively controlling the disease process. Accordingly, suitable alternatives are being sought for these conventional drugs. Natural products offer promising adjuncts/alternatives in this regard. The availability of specific compounds isolated from dietary/medicinal plant extracts have permitted rigorous studies on their disease-modulating activities and the mechanisms involved therein. Here, we describe the basic characteristics, mechanisms of action, and preventive/therapeutic applications of 5 well-characterized natural product compounds (Resveratrol, Curcumin, Boswellic acids, Epigallocatechin-3-gallate, and Triptolide). These compounds have been tested extensively in animal models of autoimmunity as well as in limited clinical trials in patients having the corresponding diseases. We have focused our description on predominantly T cell-mediated diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Type 1 diabetes, ulcerative colitis, and psoriasis.

Aberrant Cellular Glycosylation May Increase the Ability of Influenza Viruses to Escape Host Immune Responses through Modification of the Viral Glycome. mBio 2022; 13:e0298321.

Abstract
Individuals with metabolic dysregulation of cellular glycosylation often experience severe influenza disease, with a poor immune response to the virus and low vaccine efficacy. Here, we investigate the consequences of aberrant cellular glycosylation for the glycome and the biology of influenza virus. We transiently induced aberrant N-linked glycosylation in cultured cells with an oligosaccharyltransferase inhibitor, NGI-1. Cells treated with NGI-1 produced morphologically unaltered viable influenza virus with sequence-neutral glycosylation changes (primarily reduced site occupancy) in the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase proteins. Hemagglutinin with reduced glycan occupancy required a higher concentration of surfactant protein D (an important innate immunity respiratory tract collectin) for inhibition compared to that with normal glycan occupancy. Immunization of mice with NGI-1-treated virus significantly reduced antihemagglutinin and antineuraminidase titers of total serum antibody and reduced hemagglutinin protective antibody responses. Our data suggest that aberrant cellular glycosylation may increase the risk of severe influenza as a result of the increased ability of glycome-modified influenza viruses to evade the immune response.

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases are caused by the immune response of the body to its antigens, resulting in tissue damage. The pathogenesis of these diseases has not yet been elucidated. Most autoimmune diseases cannot be cured by effective drugs. The treatment strategy is to relieve the symptoms of the disease and balance the body's autoimmune function. The abnormal expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters is directly related to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases and drug therapy resistance, which poses a great challenge for the drug therapy of autoimmune diseases. Therefore, this paper reviews the interplay between ABC transporters and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases to provide research progress and new ideas for the development of drugs in autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
For decades, activation of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) was excluded from consideration as a therapeutic approach due to the potential toxic effects of AhR ligands and the induction of the cytochrome P450 enzyme, Cyp1a1, following AhR activation. However, it is now understood that AhR activation not only serves as an environmental sensor that regulates the effects of environmental toxins, but also as a key immunomodulator where ligands induce a variety of cellular and epigenetic mechanisms to attenuate inflammation. Thus, the emergence of further in-depth research into diverse groups of compounds capable of activating this receptor has prompted reconsideration of its use therapeutically. The aim of this review is to summarize the body of research surrounding AhR and its role in regulating inflammation. Specifically, evidence supporting the potential of targeting this receptor to modulate the immune response in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases will be highlighted. Additionally, the opportunities and challenges of developing AhR-based therapies to suppress inflammation will be discussed.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex, heterogeneous, systemic autoimmune disease involving a wide array of aberrant innate and adaptive immune responses. The immune microenvironment of SLE promotes the metabolic reprogramming of immune cells, leading to immune dyshomeostasis and triggering autoimmune inflammation. Different immune subsets switch from a resting state to a highly metabolic active state by alternating the redox-sensitive signaling pathway and the involved metabolic intermediates to amplify the inflammatory response, which is critical in SLE pathogenesis. In this review, we discuss abnormal metabolic changes in glucose metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and lipid and amino acid metabolism as well as mitochondrial dysfunction in immune cells in SLE. We also review studies focused on the potential targets for key molecules of metabolic pathways in SLE, such as hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, mammalian target of rapamycin, and AMP-activated protein kinase. We highlight the therapeutic rationale for targeting these pathways in treating SLE and summarize their recent clinical applications in SLE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Today synbiotics are considered as immunomodulatory agents. The current systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the effect of synbiotics and probiotics on inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in autoimmune disease. MATERIALS & METHODS The English literature search was performed using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Central Cochrane Library through March 2020. Random effects models and generic inverse variance methods were used to synthesize quantitative data by STATA14. RESULTS From a total of 623 entries identified via searches, ten RCTs (n = 440; 216 as intervention, 224 as controls) were included. An additional eleven studies with same intervention and different markers were also explained systematically. The pooled effect size showed that Interleukin (IL)-6 (WMD = -7.79 pg/ml; 95% CI = -13.81, -1.77, P = 0.011), Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-α (WMD = -1.05 pg/ml; 95% CI = -2.01, -0.10, P = 0.030), high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) (SMD = -0.58; 95% CI = -0.79, -0.37, P < 0.001), Malondialdehyde (MDA) (SMD = -0.36; 95% CI = -0.68, -0.04; P = 0.026), Homeostasis Model of Assessment-estimated Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) (WMD = -0.71; 95% CI = -1.05, -0.37, P < 0.001), and beta cell function (HOMA-β) (WMD = -15.18; 95% CI = -22.08, -8.28, P < 0.001) changed following probiotics (or synbiotics) supplementation. Also supplementation with doses more than 2 billion CFU could reduce IL-10 concentrations (WMD = -1.84; 95% CI = -2.23, 1.87; P < 0.001). Glutathione (GSH) and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) levels did not influence by synbiotics and probiotics; insignificancy was remained after subgrouping for participants' age, study duration, and disease duration. CONCLUSION Our findings revealed that synbiotics and probiotics supplementation has significant effect on some inflammatory and oxidative stress markers; although, the number of trials was too small to powerful conclusion and further investigations may be needed.

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases (AIDs) are characterized with aberrant immune responses and their respective signaling pathways controlling cell differentiation, death, and survival. Cell metabolism is also an indispensable biochemical process that provides the very fundamental energy and materials. Accumulating evidences implicate that metabolism pathways have critical roles in determining the function of different immune subsets. Mechanisms of how immunometabolism participate in the pathogenesis of AIDs were also under intensive exploration. Here, in this review, we summarize the metabolic features of immune cells in AIDs and also the individual function of immunometabolism pathways, including glucose metabolism and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, in the setting of AIDs, mainly focusing on the potential targets for intervention. We also review studies that explore the intervention strategies targeting key molecules of metabolic pathways, such as mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and hypoxia-inducible factor 1a (HIF1a), in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The highlight of this review is to provide a comprehensive summary of the status quo of immunometabolism studies in AIDs and the potential translatable drug targets.
