Abstract
Diabetes, a chronic metabolic disorder disrupting blood sugar regulation, has emerged as a prominent silent pandemic. Uncontrolled diabetes predisposes an individual to develop fatal complications like cardiovascular disorders, kidney damage, and neuropathies and aggravates the severity of treatable infections. Escalating cases of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes correlate with a global upswing in diabetes-linked mortality. As a growing global concern with limited preventive interventions, diabetes necessitates extensive research to mitigate its healthcare burden and assist ailing patients. An altered immune system exacerbated by chronic hyperinflammation heightens the susceptibility of diabetic individuals to microbial infections, including notable viruses like SARS-CoV-2, dengue, and influenza. Given such a scenario, we scrutinized the literature and compiled molecular pathways and signaling cascades related to immune compartments in diabetics that escalate the severity associated with the above-mentioned viral infections in them as compared to healthy individuals. The pathogenesis of these viral infections that trigger diabetes compromises both innate and adaptive immune functions and pre-existing diabetes also leads to heightened disease severity. Lastly, this review succinctly outlines available treatments for diabetics, which may hold promise as preventive or supportive measures to effectively combat these viral infections in the former.

Abstract
The activation and mobilization of immune cells play a crucial role in immunotherapy. Existing therapeutic interventions, such as cytokines administration, aim to enhance immune cell activity. However, these approaches usually result in modest effectiveness and toxic side effects, thereby restricting their clinical application. Protease-activated receptors (PARs), a subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors, actively participate in the immune system by directly activating immune cells. The activation of PARs by proteases or synthetic ligands can modulate immune cell behavior, signaling, and responses to treat immune-related diseases, suggesting the significance of PARs agonism in immunotherapy. However, the agonism of PARs in therapeutical applications remains rarely discussed, since it has been traditionally considered that PARs activation facilitates disease progressions. This review aims to comprehensively summarize the activation, rather than inhibition, of PARs in immune-related physiological responses and diseases. Additionally, we will discuss the emerging immunotherapeutic potential of PARs agonism, providing a new strategic direction for PARs-mediated immunotherapy.

Abstract
Blood coagulation is initiated in response to blood vessel injury or proinflammatory stimuli, which activate coagulation factors to coordinate complex biochemical and cellular responses necessary for clot formation. In addition to these critical physiologic functions, plasma protein factors activated during coagulation mediate a spectrum of signaling responses via receptor-binding interactions on different cell types. In this review, we describe examples and mechanisms of coagulation factor signaling. We detail the molecular basis for cell signaling mediated by coagulation factor proteases via the protease-activated receptor family, considering new insights into the role of protease-specific cleavage sites, cofactor and coreceptor interactions, and distinct signaling intermediate interactions in shaping protease-activated receptor signaling diversity. Moreover, we discuss examples of how injury-dependent conformational activation of other coagulation proteins, such as fibrin(ogen) and von Willebrand factor, decrypts their signaling potential, unlocking their capacity to contribute to aberrant proinflammatory signaling. Finally, we consider the role of coagulation factor signaling in disease development and the status of pharmacologic approaches to either attenuate or enhance coagulation factor signaling for therapeutic benefit, emphasizing new approaches to inhibit deleterious coagulation factor signaling without impacting hemostatic activity.

Abstract
CD8 T and NK cells mediate killing by delivery of perforin and granzyme B (GZB) stored in lysosome-like granules. We present a flow-cytometry-based protocol combined with a redirected killing assay to evaluate granule exocytosis and the cytotoxic potential of human CD8 T cells and NK cells. We describe the assessment of the delivered GZB inside the target cells. We then detail the detection of lysosome membrane protein CD107a exposed on the cell surface of the effector cells upon degranulation. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Chen et al. (2021).1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atrial myopathy and atrial fibrillation (AF) accompany thrombo-inflammation. This facilitates disease progression and promotes major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Thrombin receptor (protease-activated receptor 1, PAR1) signalling is central in mediating thrombo-inflammation. We hypothesised that PAR1 signalling links coagulation and inflammation through cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes in patients presenting with first-diagnosed AF (FDAF). METHODS A total of 210 patients were studied. We included data and blood samples from patients presenting with FDAF (n = 160), cardiac tissue from patients with paroxysmal AF (n = 32) and 20 controls. RESULTS During early AF, a pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic subset of T lymphocytes (CD8+) circulated more frequently when compared to patients with chronic cardiovascular disease but without AF, accompanied by elevated plasma levels of CD8+ effector molecules, which corresponded to biomarkers of adverse cardiac remodelling and atrial dysfunction. Activation of tissue factor (TF) and PAR1 was associated with pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic effector functions. PAR1-related CD8+ cell activation was more frequent in FDAF patients that experienced a MACE. CONCLUSIONS In patients with FDAF, the TF-factor Xa-factor IIa-axis contributes to thrombo-inflammation via PAR1 in CD8+ T cells. Intervening in this cascade might be a promising synergistic approach to reducing disease progression and the vascular complications of AF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation is a prominent clinical manifestation in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, often associated with insulin resistance, metabolic dysregulation, and other complications. AIM OF THE STUDY The present study has been designed to check the serum levels of PAR-1 and correlate with various clinical manifestations and inflammatory cytokines levels in type 2 diabetic subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study population was divided into two groups, healthy volunteers (n = 15): normal glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (4.26 ± 0.55) and type 2 diabetic subjects (n = 30): HbA1c levels (7.80 ± 2.41). The serum levels of PAR-1 (ELISA method) were studied in both groups and correlated with demographic parameters age, weight, body mass index (BMI), and conventional inflammation biomarkers like C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). RESULTS The demographic variables including the body weight (77.38 ± 10.00 vs. controls 55.26 ± 6.99), BMI (29.39 ± 3.61 vs. controls 25.25 ± 4.01), glycemic index HbA1c (7.80 ± 2.41 vs. controls 4.26 ± 0.55) were found to be statistically increased in T2DM subjects than the healthy control group. The levels of various inflammatory biomarkers and PAR-1 were significantly elevated in T2DM groups in comparison to healthy volunteers. The univariate and multivariate regression analysis revealed that elevated PAR-1 levels positively correlated with increased body weight, BMI, HbA1c, and inflammatory cytokines. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that the elevated serum PAR-1 levels serve as an independent predictor of inflammation in T2DM subjects and might have prognostic value for determining T2DM progression.

Abstract
Significant data have accumulated demonstrating a reciprocal relationship between cancer and the hemostatic system whereby cancer promotes life‐threatening hemostatic system dysregulation (e.g., thromboembolism, consumptive coagulopathy), and hemostatic system components directly contribute to cancer pathogenesis. The mechanistic underpinnings of this relationship continue to be defined, but it is becoming increasingly clear that many of these mechanisms involve crosstalk between the hemostatic and immune systems. This is perhaps not surprising given that there is ample evidence for bidirectional crosstalk between the hemostatic and immune systems at multiple levels that likely evolved to coordinate the response to injury, host defense, and tissue repair. Much of the data linking hemostasis and immunity in cancer biology focus on innate immune system components. However, the advent of adaptive immunity‐based cancer therapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors has revealed that the relationship of hemostasis and immunity in cancer extends to the adaptive immune system. Adaptive immunity‐based cancer therapies appear to be associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic complications, and hemostatic system components appear to regulate adaptive immune functions through diverse mechanisms to affect tumor progression. In this review, the evidence for crosstalk between hemostatic and adaptive immune system components is discussed, and the implications of this relationship in the context of cancer therapy are reviewed. A better understanding of these relationships will likely lead to strategies to make existing adaptive immune based therapies safer by decreasing thromboembolic risk and may also lead to novel targets to improve adaptive immune‐based cancer treatments.
