Abstract
There are notable sex-based differences in immune responses to pathogens and self-antigens, with female individuals exhibiting increased susceptibility to various autoimmune diseases, and male individuals displaying preferential susceptibility to some viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal infections. Although sex hormones clearly contribute to sex differences in immune cell composition and function, the presence of two X chromosomes in female individuals suggests that differential gene expression of numerous X chromosome-linked immune-related genes may also influence sex-biased innate and adaptive immune cell function in health and disease. Here, we review the sex differences in immune system composition and function, examining how hormones and genetics influence the immune system. We focus on the genetic and epigenetic contributions responsible for altered X chromosome-linked gene expression, and how this impacts sex-biased immune responses in the context of pathogen infection and systemic autoimmunity.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited immunodeficiency disease mainly caused by mutations in the X-linked CYBB gene that abrogate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in phagocytes and microbial defense. Gene repair using the CRISPR/Cas9 system in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) is a promising technology for therapy for CGD. To support the establishment of efficient and safe gene therapies for CGD, we generated a mouse model harboring a patient-derived mutation in the CYBB gene. Our CybbC517del mouse line shows the hallmarks of CGD and provides a source for Cybb-deficient HSPCs that can be used to evaluate gene-therapy approaches in vitro and in vivo. In a setup using Cas9 RNPs and an AAV repair vector in HSPCs, we show that the mutation can be repaired in 19% of treated cells and that treatment restores ROS production by macrophages. In conclusion, our CybbC517del mouse line provides a new platform for refining and evaluating novel gene therapies and studying X-CGD pathophysiology.

Genetic, immunologic, and clinical features of 830 patients with Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases (MSMD): A systematic review. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2024; 153:1432-1444. [PMID: 38341181 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaci.2024.01.021] [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: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases (MSMD) is a rare clinical syndrome characterized by vulnerability to weakly virulent mycobacterial species, including Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccines and environmental mycobacteria. OBJECTIVE We sought to perform a systematic review of the genetic, immunologic, and clinical findings for reported patients with MSMD. METHODS We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases for publications in English relating to MSMD. All full texts were evaluated for eligibility for inclusion. Two reviewers independently selected the publications, with a third reviewer consulted in cases of disagreement. RESULTS A primary systematic search and searches of other resources identified 16,155 articles. In total, 158 articles from 63 countries were included in qualitative and quantitative analyses. In total, 830 patients-436 males (52.5%), 369 females (44.5%), and 25 patients of unknown sex (3.0%)-from 581 families were evaluated. A positive family history was reported in 347 patients (45.5%). The patients had a mean age of 10.41 ± 0.42 (SEM) years. The frequency of MSMD was highest in Iran, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. Lymphadenopathy was the most common clinical manifestation of MSMD, reported in 378 (45.5%) cases and multifocal in 35.1%. Fever, organomegaly, and sepsis were the next most frequent findings, reported in 251 (30.2%), 206 (24.8%), and 171 (20.8%) cases, respectively. In total, 299 unique mutations in 21 genes known to be involved in MSMD were reported: 100 missense (34%), 80 indel-frameshift (insertion or deletion, 27%), 53 nonsense (18%), 35 splice site (12%), 10 indel-in frame (2.7%), 6 indel (2%), and 15 large deletion/duplication mutations. Finally, 61% of the reported patients with MSMD had mutations of IL12RB1 (41%) or IFNGR1 (20%). At the time of the report, 177 of the patients (21.3%) were dead and 597 (71.9%) were still alive. CONCLUSIONS MSMD is associated with a high mortality rate, mostly due to impaired control of infection. Preexposure strategies, such as changes in vaccination policy in endemic areas, the establishment of a worldwide registry of patients with MSMD, and precise follow-up over generations in affected families, appear to be vital to decrease MSMD-related mortality.

Abstract
Infectious diseases continue to claim many lives. Prevention of morbidity and mortality from these diseases would benefit not just from new medicines and vaccines but also from a better understanding of what constitutes protective immunity. Among the major immune signals that mobilize host defense against infection is interferon-γ (IFN-γ), a protein secreted by lymphocytes. Forty years ago, IFN-γ was identified as a macrophage-activating factor, and, in recent years, there has been a resurgent interest in IFN-γ biology and its role in human defense. Here we assess the current understanding of IFN-γ, revisit its designation as an "interferon," and weigh its prospects as a therapeutic against globally pervasive microbial pathogens.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis inhibits METTL14-mediated m 6A methylation of Nox2 mRNA and suppresses anti-TB immunity. Cell Discov 2024; 10:36.

Abstract
Internal N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications are among the most abundant modifications of messenger RNA, playing a critical role in diverse biological and pathological processes. However, the functional role and regulatory mechanism of m6A modifications in the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection remains unknown. Here, we report that methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14)-dependent m6A methylation of NAPDH oxidase 2 (Nox2) mRNA was crucial for the host immune defense against M. tuberculosis infection and that M. tuberculosis-secreted antigen EsxB (Rv3874) inhibited METTL14-dependent m6A methylation of Nox2 mRNA. Mechanistically, EsxB interacted with p38 MAP kinase and disrupted the association of TAB1 with p38, thus inhibiting the TAB1-mediated autophosphorylation of p38. Interaction of EsxB with p38 also impeded the binding of p38 with METTL14, thereby inhibiting the p38-mediated phosphorylation of METTL14 at Thr72. Inhibition of p38 by EsxB restrained liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of METTL14 and its subsequent interaction with METTL3, preventing the m6A modification of Nox2 mRNA and its association with the m6A-binding protein IGF2BP1 to destabilize Nox2 mRNA, reduce ROS levels, and increase intracellular survival of M. tuberculosis. Moreover, deletion or mutation of the phosphorylation site on METTL14 impaired the inhibition of ROS level by EsxB and increased bacterial burden or histological damage in the lungs during infection in mice. These findings identify a previously unknown mechanism that M. tuberculosis employs to suppress host immunity, providing insights that may empower the development of effective immunomodulators that target M. tuberculosis.

Multiple genetic loci influence vaccine-induced protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in genetically diverse mice. PLoS Pathog 2024; 20:e1012069.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb.) infection leads to over 1.5 million deaths annually, despite widespread vaccination with BCG at birth. Causes for the ongoing tuberculosis endemic are complex and include the failure of BCG to protect many against progressive pulmonary disease. Host genetics is one of the known factors implicated in susceptibility to primary tuberculosis, but less is known about the role that host genetics plays in controlling host responses to vaccination against M.tb. Here, we addressed this gap by utilizing Diversity Outbred (DO) mice as a small animal model to query genetic drivers of vaccine-induced protection against M.tb. DO mice are a highly genetically and phenotypically diverse outbred population that is well suited for fine genetic mapping. Similar to outcomes in people, our previous studies demonstrated that DO mice have a wide range of disease outcomes following BCG vaccination and M.tb. challenge. In the current study, we used a large population of BCG-vaccinated/M.tb.-challenged mice to perform quantitative trait loci mapping of complex infection traits; these included lung and spleen M.tb. burdens, as well as lung cytokines measured at necropsy. We found sixteen chromosomal loci associated with complex infection traits and cytokine production. QTL associated with bacterial burdens included a region encoding major histocompatibility antigens that are known to affect susceptibility to tuberculosis, supporting validity of the approach. Most of the other QTL represent novel associations with immune responses to M.tb. and novel pathways of cytokine regulation. Most importantly, we discovered that protection induced by BCG is a multigenic trait, in which genetic loci harboring functionally-distinct candidate genes influence different aspects of immune responses that are crucial collectively for successful protection. These data provide exciting new avenues to explore and exploit in developing new vaccines against M.tb.

Abstract
To understand natural resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ) infection, we studied people living with HIV (PLWH) in an area of high Mtb transmission. Given that alveolar leukocytes may contribute to this resistance, we performed single cell RNA-sequencing of bronchoalveolar lavage cells, unstimulated or ex vivo stimulated with Mtb . We obtained high quality cells for 7 participants who were TST & IGRA positive (called LTBI) and 6 who were persistently TST & IGRA negative (called resisters). Alveolar macrophages (AM) from resisters displayed more of an M1 phenotype relative to LTBI AM at baseline. Alveolar lymphocytosis (10%-60%) was exhibited by 5/6 resisters, resulting in higher numbers of CD4 + and CD8 + IFNG -expressing cells at baseline and upon Mtb challenge than LTBI samples. Mycobactericidal granulysin was expressed almost exclusively by a cluster of CD8 + T cells that co-expressed granzyme B, perforin and NK cell receptors. For resisters, these poly-cytotoxic T cells over-represented activating NK cell receptors and were present at 15-fold higher numbers in alveoli compared to LTBI. Altogether, our results showed that alveolar lymphocytosis, with increased numbers of alveolar IFNG -expressing cells and CD8 + poly-cytotoxic T cells, as well as activated AM were strongly associated with protection from persistent Mtb infection in PLWH.

Abstract
Extrapulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease remains largely enigmatic, yet these mycobacteria are increasingly acknowledged as important opportunistic pathogens in humans. Traditionally, NTM infections have been identified across various anatomical locations, with the respiratory system being the most affected and best understood. Historically, extrapulmonary NTM infection was predominantly associated with HIV/AIDS, with Mycobacterium avium lymphadenopathy being the most commonly reported. Today, however, because of the expanding utilization of immunosuppressive therapies and the demographic shift towards an aging population, an increasing number of NTM infections are expected and seen. Hence, a heightened index of suspicion is essential, necessitating a multifaceted approach to identification and drug sensitivity testing to improve treatment outcomes. In extrapulmonary NTM management, expert consultation is strongly recommended to determine the most efficacious treatment regimen, as individualized, patient-tailored therapies are often required. Furthermore, the economic burden of NTM disease is considerable, accompanied by high rates of hospitalization. To optimize the management of these intricate infections, there is an urgent need for comprehensive data on incidence, prevalence, and outcomes. This case-based series delves into the intricate nature of extrapulmonary NTM infections, focusing on both rapid and slow-growing NTM species, and explores therapeutic options, resistance mechanisms, and host-related immunological factors.

Abstract
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) pulmonary disease is a chronic progressive pulmonary infectious disease caused by low virulence pathogens. The existence of host susceptibility to NTM infection has been recognized from a high incidence among Asians compared to other populations in the United States, a high incidence among slender, middle-aged women, and the presence of familial clusters. Recent whole exome sequencing and genome-wide association studies have identified immune, CFTR, cilia, connective tissue and ion homeostasis genes as host susceptibility genes. Large-scale international collaborative studies and functional analyses are expected to elucidate host susceptibility in the future.

Abstract
Human inherited disorders of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) immunity underlie severe mycobacterial diseases. We report X-linked recessive MCTS1 deficiency in men with mycobacterial disease from kindreds of different ancestries (from China, Finland, Iran, and Saudi Arabia). Complete deficiency of this translation re-initiation factor impairs the translation of a subset of proteins, including the kinase JAK2 in all cell types tested, including T lymphocytes and phagocytes. JAK2 expression is sufficiently low to impair cellular responses to interleukin-23 (IL-23) and partially IL-12, but not other JAK2-dependent cytokines. Defective responses to IL-23 preferentially impair the production of IFN-γ by innate-like adaptive mucosal-associated invariant T cells (MAIT) and γδ T lymphocytes upon mycobacterial challenge. Surprisingly, the lack of MCTS1-dependent translation re-initiation and ribosome recycling seems to be otherwise physiologically redundant in these patients. These findings suggest that X-linked recessive human MCTS1 deficiency underlies isolated mycobacterial disease by impairing JAK2 translation in innate-like adaptive T lymphocytes, thereby impairing the IL-23-dependent induction of IFN-γ.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a phagocytic defect characterized by recurrent bacterial and fungal infections. We report clinical profile of patients with CGD and mycobacterial infections in a cohort from North India. A review of clinical and laboratory records was carried out for patients with CGD registered at our center between 1990 and 2021. Of the 99 patients with CGD, 22 had mycobacterial infections-Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. bovis-BCG in 11 each. Among the children with M. bovis-BCG infection, 6 had localized and 5 had disseminated BCG disease. Median age at onset of symptoms and diagnosis of BCG disease was 5 months and 15 months, respectively. While disseminated forms of BCG were noted only in CYBB defect, none of the patients with NCF1 defect developed complications due to BCG vaccine. A recurring radiological feature was left axillary lymph node calcification, which was present in around 50% of CGD patients with BCG infections. Of 11 patients with tuberculosis, pulmonary, pleuro-pulmonary, abdominal, and disseminated forms were present in 6, 1, 2, and 2, respectively. Median age at onset of symptoms and diagnosis of tuberculosis was 129 months and 130 months, respectively. Molecular defects were identified in CYBB (5), NCF1 (4), and CYBA (1). Incidence of tuberculosis and BCG-related complications in patients with CGD is higher than the normal population. Screening for CGD is warranted in any patient with adverse reactions to BCG vaccination, calcification of left axillary lymph node, and persistent, recurrent or disseminated forms of tuberculosis.

Abstract
Respiratory infections cause tremendous morbidity and mortality worldwide. Amongst these diseases, tuberculosis (TB), a bacterial illness caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis which often affects the lung, and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), stand out as major drivers of epidemics of global concern. Despite their unrelated etiology and distinct pathology, these infections affect the same vital organ and share immunopathogenesis traits and an imperative demand to model the diseases at their various progression stages and localizations. Due to the clinical spectrum and heterogeneity of both diseases experimental infections were pursued in a variety of animal models. We summarize mammalian models employed in TB and COVID-19 experimental investigations, highlighting the diversity of rodent models and species peculiarities for each infection. We discuss the utility of non-human primates for translational research and emphasize on the benefits of non-conventional experimental models such as livestock. We epitomize advances facilitated by animal models with regard to understanding disease pathophysiology and immune responses. Finally, we highlight research areas necessitating optimized models and advocate that research of pulmonary infectious diseases could benefit from cross-fertilization between studies of apparently unrelated diseases, such as TB and COVID-19.

Abstract
Background NETosis is a new form of cell death, marked by DNA chromatin release from dead neutrophils. While it aids in microbe defense, it may worsen inflammation in autoimmune diseases, causing tissue harm. The impact of NETosis on Anti-neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-associated Glomerulonephritis (ANCA-GN) remains unexplored and requires investigation. Methods First, a weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was conducted to uncover differential expression of neutrophil extranuclear trap-associated genes (DE-NETs) in ANCA-GN. The NETosisScore model was established through the single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA), which categorized all patients into high-risk and low-risk groups. The accuracy of model was assessed by ROC curve. The biological function of various subgroups was explored through Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA), while the abundance of immune cell infiltration was measured with CIBERSORT. Furthermore, the key NETosis-related genes (NRGs) were identified using three machine learning algorithms, and their relationship with renal function was analyzed through the NephroseqV5 database. Through the application of qPCR and immunohistochemical staining techniques, the mRNA and protein expression levels of NRGs were determined in patients with ANCA-GN and control. Results A NETosisScore model was developed from 18 DE-NETs using the ssGSEA algorithm. The model's ability to predict ANCA-GN patients with a ROC AUC of 0.921. The high-risk group in ANCA-GN showed enrichment of immune-related pathways and greater infiltration of immune cells, as revealed by KEGG enrichment analysis and CIBERSORT. Using three machine learning algorithms, we identified six NRGs. Significant positive correlations were found between NRGs and CCR, macrophages, T-cell co-inhibition, and TIL. Further KEGG analysis revealed that the functions of NRGs may be closely related to the toll-like receptor signaling pathway. The levels of NRGs increased as kidney function declined and were positively correlated with Scr (serum creatinine) and negatively correlated with GFR (glomerular filtration rate), qPCR analysis showed increased expression of most NRGs in ANCA-GN patients. Furthermore, immunohistochemical staining confirmed higher expression of all NRGs in ANCA-GN patients. Conclusion NETosisScore model accurately predicts high-risk patients in ANCA-GN with enriched immune pathways, 6 NRGs identified as potential biomarkers.

Abstract
In medical mycology, the main context of disease is iatrogenic-based disease. However, historically, and occasionally, even today, fungal diseases affect humans with no obvious risk factors, sometimes in a spectacular fashion. The field of “inborn errors of immunity” (IEI) has deduced at least some of these previously enigmatic cases; accordingly, the discovery of single-gene disorders with penetrant clinical effects and their immunologic dissection have provided a framework with which to understand some of the key pathways mediating human susceptibility to mycoses. By extension, they have also enabled the identification of naturally occurring auto-antibodies to cytokines that phenocopy such susceptibility. This review provides a comprehensive update of IEI and autoantibodies that inherently predispose humans to various fungal diseases.

Abstract
Immune networks that control antimicrobial and inflammatory mechanisms have overlapping regulation and functions to ensure effective host responses. Genetic interaction studies of immune pathways that compare host responses in single and combined knockout backgrounds are a useful tool to identify new mechanisms of immune control during infection. For disease caused by pulmonary Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections, which currently lacks an effective vaccine, understanding genetic interactions between protective immune pathways may identify new therapeutic targets or disease-associated genes. Previous studies suggested a direct link between the activation of NLRP3-Caspase1 inflammasome and the NADPH-dependent phagocyte oxidase complex during Mtb infection. Loss of the phagocyte oxidase complex alone resulted in increased activation of Caspase1 and IL1β production during Mtb infection, resulting in failed disease tolerance during the chronic stages of disease. To better understand this interaction, we generated mice lacking both Cybb , a key subunit of the phagocyte oxidase, and Caspase1/11 . We found that ex vivo Mtb infection of Cybb -/- Caspase1/11 -/- macrophages resulted in the expected loss of IL1β secretion but an unexpected change in other inflammatory cytokines and bacterial control. Mtb infected Cybb -/- Caspase1/11 -/- mice rapidly progressed to severe TB, succumbing within four weeks to disease characterized by high bacterial burden, increased inflammatory cytokines, and the recruitment of granulocytes that associated with Mtb in the lungs. These results uncover a key genetic interaction between the phagocyte oxidase complex and Caspase1/11 that controls protection against TB and highlight the need for a better understanding of the regulation of fundamental immune networks during Mtb infection.

Human IRF1 governs macrophagic IFN-γ immunity to mycobacteria. Cell 2023; 186:621-645.e33.

Abstract
Inborn errors of human IFN-γ-dependent macrophagic immunity underlie mycobacterial diseases, whereas inborn errors of IFN-α/β-dependent intrinsic immunity underlie viral diseases. Both types of IFNs induce the transcription factor IRF1. We describe unrelated children with inherited complete IRF1 deficiency and early-onset, multiple, life-threatening diseases caused by weakly virulent mycobacteria and related intramacrophagic pathogens. These children have no history of severe viral disease, despite exposure to many viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, which is life-threatening in individuals with impaired IFN-α/β immunity. In leukocytes or fibroblasts stimulated in vitro, IRF1-dependent responses to IFN-γ are, both quantitatively and qualitatively, much stronger than those to IFN-α/β. Moreover, IRF1-deficient mononuclear phagocytes do not control mycobacteria and related pathogens normally when stimulated with IFN-γ. By contrast, IFN-α/β-dependent intrinsic immunity to nine viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, is almost normal in IRF1-deficient fibroblasts. Human IRF1 is essential for IFN-γ-dependent macrophagic immunity to mycobacteria, but largely redundant for IFN-α/β-dependent antiviral immunity.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Mycobacteria include ubiquitous species of varying virulence. However, environmental and individual-specific factors, particularly host genetics, play a crucial role in the outcome of exposure to mycobacteria. The first molecular evidence of a monogenic predisposition to mycobacteria came from the study of Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD), a rare inborn error of IFN-γ immunity conferring a selective susceptibility to infections even with low virulent mycobacteria, in patients, mostly children, without recognizable immune defects in routine tests. This article provides a global and updated description of the most important molecular, cellular, and clinical features of all known monogenic defects of MSMD.
Results
Over the last 20 years, 19 genes were found to be mutated in MSMD patients (IFNGR1, IFNGR2, IFNG, IL12RB1, IL12RB2, IL23R, IL12B, ISG15, USP18, ZNFX1, TBX21, STAT1, TYK2, IRF8, CYBB, JAK1, RORC, NEMO, and SPPL2A), and the allelic heterogeneity at these loci has led to the definition of 35 different genetic defects. Despite the clinical and genetic heterogeneity, almost all genetic etiologies of MSMD alter the interferon gamma (IFN-γ)-mediated immunity, by impairing or abolishing IFN-γ production or the response to this cytokine or both. It was proven that the human IFN-γ level is a quantitative trait that defines the outcome of mycobacterial infection.
Conclusion
The study of these monogenic defects contributes to understanding the molecular mechanism of mycobacterial infections in humans and to the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to improve care and prognosis. These discoveries also bridge the gap between the simple Mendelian inheritance and complex human genetics.

Abstract
PURPOSE The presence of anti-interferon-γ autoantibodies (AutoAbs-IFN-γ) is not rare in patients suffering from persistent non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections that are characteristic of adult-onset immunodeficiency syndrome. The immune disturbances in this distinct disorder remain to be elucidated. METHODS Patients with NTM infections but without effective response over 3 months' treatment were referred to our institute to quantify their level of AutoAbs-IFN-γ after excluding defective IL12/23-IFN-γ circuit and reactive oxygen species production. The AutoAbs-IFN-γ and percentage of lymphocyte subpopulations most relevant to T and B cell pools were assessed and compared with age-matched healthy controls. RESULTS A total of 31 patients were enrolled during the 15-year study period (2008-2022), 20 patients with > 50% suppression of IFN-γ detection at 1:100 serum dilution were classified into the Auto-NTM group. The remaining 11 with negligible suppression were assigned to the No Auto-NTM group. Mycobacterium chimaera-intracellulare group (MAC), M. kansasii, and M. abscessus were the most common pathogens. Pneumonia (19 vs 7), lymphadenitis (11 vs 5), Salmonella sepsis (6 vs 2), osteomyelitis (5 vs 1), and cutaneous herpes zoster (4 vs 4) were the main manifestations in both the Auto-NTM and No Auto-NTM groups who had similar onset-age (55.3 vs 53.6 years; p = 0.73) and follow-up duration (71.9 vs 54.6 months; p = 0.45). The Auto-NTM group had significantly higher transitional (IgM + + CD38 + +), CD19 + CD21-low, and plasmablast (IgM-CD38 + +) in the B cell pool, with higher effector memory (CD4 + /CD8 + CD45RO + CCR7 -), senescent CD8 + CD57 + , and Th17 cells, but lower naïve (CD4 + /CD8 + CD45RO - CCR7 +) and Treg cells in the T cell pool when compared to the No Auto-NTM and healthy groups. NTM patients with/without AutoAbs-IFN-γ had lower Th1-like Tfh (CD4 + CXCR5 + CXCR3 + CCR6 -) cells. All Auto-NTM patients still had non-remitted mycobacterial infections and higher AutoAbs-IFN-γ despite anti-CD20 therapy in 3 patients. CONCLUSION In patients with suspected adult-onset immunodeficiency syndrome, two thirds (20/31) were recognized as having significantly inhibitory AutoAbs-IFN-γ with higher antibody-enhancing transitional, CD19 + CD21-low and plasmablast B cells; as well as higher effector memory, senescent CD8 + CD57 + and Th17 cells, but lower naïve T and Treg cells in contrast to those with negligible AutoAbs-IFN-γ. Such immunophenotyping disturbances might correlate with the presence of AutoAbs-IFN-γ. However, the mutual mechanisms need to be further clarified.

Abstract
There is a growing awareness of the importance of sex and gender in medicine and research. Women typically have stronger immune responses to self and foreign antigens than men, resulting in sex-based differences in autoimmunity and infectious diseases. In both animals and humans, males are generally more susceptible than females to bacterial infections. At the same time, gender differences in health-seeking behavior, quality of health care, and adherence to treatment recommendations have been reported. This review explores our current understanding of differences between males and females in bacterial diseases. We describe how genetic, immunological, hormonal, and anatomical factors interact to influence sex-based differences in pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, disease severity, and prognosis, and how gender roles affect the behavior of patients and providers in the health care system.

[PMID: 35998870 DOI: 10.1016/j.meegid.2022.105352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Revised: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
To date, many studies have been conducted to investigate associations between variants and tuberculosis risk; however, the results have been inconclusive. Here, we systematically provide a summary of the understanding of the genetic architecture of tuberculosis susceptibility. We searched PubMed, Embase and Web of Science to identify genetic association studies of tuberculosis published through October 31, 2021. We conducted meta-analyses for the genetic association with tuberculosis risk. We graded levels of cumulative epidemiological evidence of significant associations with risk of tuberculosis and false-positive report probability tests. We performed functional annotations for these variants using data from the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Project and other databases. We identified 703 eligible articles comprising 298,074 cases and 879,593 controls through screening a total of 24,398 citations. Meta-analyses were conducted for 614 genetic variants in 469 genes or loci. We found 39 variants that were nominally significantly associated with tuberculosis risk. Cumulative epidemiological evidence for a significant association was graded strong for 9 variants in or near 9 genes. Among them, 5 variants were associated with tuberculosis risk in at least three main ethnicity (African, Asian and White) which together explained approximately 9.59% of the familial relative risk of tuberculosis. Data from ENCODE and other databases suggested that 8 of these 9 genetic variants with strong evidence might fall within putative functional regions. Our study summarizes the current literature on the genetic architecture of tuberculosis susceptibility and provides useful data for designing future studies to investigate the genetic association with tuberculosis risk.

Chronic Granulomatous Disease-Like Presentation of a Child with Autosomal Recessive PKCδ Deficiency. J Clin Immunol 2022; 42:1244-1253. [PMID: 35585372 PMCID: PMC9537221 DOI: 10.1007/s10875-022-01268-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Autosomal recessive (AR) PKCδ deficiency is a rare inborn error of immunity (IEI) characterized by autoimmunity and susceptibility to bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. PKCδ is involved in the intracellular production of reactive oxidative species (ROS). MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied a 5-year old girl presenting with a history of Burkholderia cepacia infection. She had no history of autoimmunity, lymphocyte counts were normal, and no auto-antibodies were detected in her plasma. We performed a targeted panel analysis of 407 immunity-related genes and immunological investigations of the underlying genetic condition in this patient. RESULTS Consistent with a history suggestive of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), oxidative burst impairment was observed in the patient's circulating phagocytes in a dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR) assay. However, targeted genetic panel analysis identified no candidate variants of known CGD-causing genes. Two heterozygous candidate variants were detected in PRKCD: c.285C > A (p.C95*) and c.376G > T (p.D126Y). The missense variant was also predicted to cause abnormal splicing, as it is located at the splice donor site of exon 5. TOPO-TA cloning confirmed that exon 5 was completely skipped, resulting in a truncated protein. No PKCδ protein was detected in the patient's neutrophils and monocyte-derived macrophages. The monocyte-derived macrophages of the patient produced abnormally low levels of ROS, as shown in an Amplex Red assay. CONCLUSION PKCδ deficiency should be considered in young patients with CGD-like clinical manifestations and abnormal DHR assay results, even in the absence of clinical and biological manifestations of autoimmunity.

Abstract
Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) is an opportunistic pathogen usually colonizing abnormal lung airways and is often seen in patients with cystic fibrosis. Currently, there is no vaccine available for M. abscessus in clinical development. The treatment of M. abscessus-related pulmonary diseases is peculiar due to intrinsic resistance to several commonly used antibiotics. The development of either prophylactic or therapeutic interventions for M. abscessus pulmonary infections is hindered by the absence of an adequate experimental animal model. In this review, we outline the critical elements related to M. abscessus virulence mechanisms, host–pathogen interactions, and treatment challenges associated with M. abscessus pulmonary infections. The challenges of effectively combating this pathogen include developing appropriate preclinical animal models of infection, developing proper diagnostics, and designing novel strategies for treating drug-resistant M. abscessus.

Abstract
Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) arises from a group of rare inherited errors of immunity that result in selective susceptibility of otherwise healthy people to clinical disease caused by low virulence strains of mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium bovis Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and environmental mycobacteria. Patients have normal resistance to other pathogens and no overt abnormalities in routine immunological and hematological evaluations for primary immunodeficiencies. At least 19 genes and 34 clinical phenotypes have been identified in MSMD. However, there have been no systematic reports on the clinical characteristics and genetic backgrounds of MSMD in China. In this review, on the one hand, we summarize an update findings on molecular defects and immunological mechanisms in the field of MSMD research globally. On the other hand, we undertook a systematic review of PubMed (MEDLINE), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science, EMBASE, CNKI, and Wanfang to identify articles published before Jan 23, 2022, to summarize the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of MSMD in China. All the English and Chinese publications were searched without any restriction on article types.

Abstract
The past quarter of a century has witnessed an inordinate increase in our understanding of primary immunodeficiencies / inborn errors of immunity. These include a significant increase in the number of identified conditions, broadening the phenotypes of existing entities, delineation of classical inborn errors of immunity from those with a narrow phenotype, and a gradual shift from supportive to definitive care in patients afflicted with these diseases. It has also seen the discovery of conditions broadly defined as phenocopies of primary immunodeficiencies, where somatic mutations or autoantibodies mimic a recognised primary immunodeficiency's presentation in the absence of the underlying genetic basis for that disease. This article will provide a review of the anti-cytokine autoantibody-mediated phenocopies of inborn errors of immunity and discuss the therapeutic and laboratory aspects of this group of diseases.

A partial form of inherited human USP18 deficiency underlies infection and inflammation. J Exp Med 2022; 219:213053.

Abstract
Human USP18 is an interferon (IFN)-stimulated gene product and a negative regulator of type I IFN (IFN-I) signaling. It also removes covalently linked ISG15 from proteins, in a process called deISGylation. In turn, ISG15 prevents USP18 from being degraded by the proteasome. Autosomal recessive complete USP18 deficiency is life-threatening in infancy owing to uncontrolled IFN-I–mediated autoinflammation. We report three Moroccan siblings with autoinflammation and mycobacterial disease who are homozygous for a new USP18 variant. We demonstrate that the mutant USP18 (p.I60N) is normally stabilized by ISG15 and efficient for deISGylation but interacts poorly with the receptor-anchoring STAT2 and is impaired in negative regulation of IFN-I signaling. We also show that IFN-γ–dependent induction of IL-12 and IL-23 is reduced owing to IFN-I–mediated impairment of myeloid cells to produce both cytokines. Thus, insufficient negative regulation of IFN-I signaling by USP18-I60N underlies a specific type I interferonopathy, which impairs IL-12 and IL-23 production by myeloid cells, thereby explaining predisposition to mycobacterial disease.

Abstract
The antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a systematic of relatively rare autoimmune diseases with unknown cause. Kidney involvement is one of the most common clinical manifestations, and the degree of renal damage is closely associated with the development and prognosis of AAV. In this study, we utilized the Robust Rank Aggreg (RRA) method in R to integrate GSE104948, GSE104954, GSE108109, GSE108112, and GSE108113 profile datasets loaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and identified a set of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in kidney between AAV patients and living donors. Then, the results of gene ontology (GO) functional annotation showed that immunity and metabolism involved process of AAV both in glomerulus and tubulointerstitial. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis revealed that following pathways, such as complement and coagulation cascades pathway; Staphylococcus aureus infection; disease-COVID-19; and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathway play a crucial role in AAV. Next, the results analyzed by protein–protein interaction (PPI) network and Cytoscape software exhibited the hub genes ALB, TYROBP, and CYBB existed in both glomerular and tubulointerstitial compartments datasets. Finally, KEGG analysis using genes of two most important modules also further validated complement and coagulation cascades pathway and S. aureus infection existed both in glomerulus and tubulointerstitial compartments datasets. In conclusion, this study identified key genes and pathways involved in kidney of AAV, which was benefit to further uncover the mechanisms underlying the development and progress of AAV, biomarkers, and potential therapeutic targets as well.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-cytokine autoantibodies (AAbs) associated with an infectious phenotype are now included along with anti-complement AAbs and somatic pathogenic gene variants as a distinct category termed 'phenocopies of primary immunodeficiencies' in the classification of inborn errors of immunity. Anti-cytokine AAbs target specific cytokine pathways, leading to inordinate susceptibility to specific organisms, generally in the setting of immunocompetence. CONTENT Anti-cytokine AAbs are detected in the majority of healthy individuals and may play a regulatory role in limiting exaggerated responses to cytokines. While it is not well understood why some individuals with anti-cytokine AAbs develop increased susceptibility to organisms of low pathogenicity and others do not, it is likely that genetics and environment play a role. To date, AAbs to interferon gamma (IFNγ), interferon alpha (IFNα), interleukins-17 and 22 (IL-17/IL-22), interleukin-6 and granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and their association with increased susceptibility to nontuberculous mycobacteria and other intracellular organisms, viral infections, Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus and other pyogenic organisms, and fungal infections respectively, have been described. The clinical phenotype of these patients is very similar to that of individuals with pathogenic gene variants in the specific cytokine pathway that the autoantibody targets, hence the term 'phenocopy.' Recognition of anti-cytokine AAbs as a distinct cause of immunodeficiency or immune dysregulation is important for appropriate management of such patients. SUMMARY Understanding the roles that anti-cytokine AAbs play in health and disease continues to be a fascinating area of research. Evaluating generally immunocompetent individuals who present with chronic, treatment refractory, or unusual infections for anti-cytokine AAbs is critical as it may direct therapy and disease management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) develop severe infections, including Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). Although the autosomal recessive CGD (AR-CGD) patients should hypothetically develop relatively fewer infections compared to the X-linked CGD (X-CGD) patients due to more residual reactive oxygen intermediates, the impacts of BCG vaccination on AR-CGD and X-CGD patients are unclear. Herein, we demonstrated the clinical features of BCG infections, treatments, and genetic factors in CGD patients after BCG vaccination under the Japanese immunization program. METHODS We collected data retrospectively from 43 patients with CGD and assessed their history of initial infection, age at diagnosis of CGD, BCG vaccination history, clinical course, treatment for BCG infections, and genetic mutations associated with CGD. RESULTS Fourteen CGD patients avoided BCG vaccination because of other preceding infections and family history. Of 29 patients with CGD who received BCG vaccination, 20 patients developed BCG infections. Although the age at onset of initial infection in X-CGD patients was significantly younger than that in AR-CGD patients (P < .01), the onset and frequency of BCG infections were similar in X-CGD and AR-CGD patients. In X-CGD patients, BCG infections equally developed in the patients carrying missense, insertion, deletion, nonsense, and splice mutations of CYBB. All CGD patients with BCG infections were successfully treated with anti-tuberculous drugs. CONCLUSIONS Although X-CGD patients develop severe infections at a younger age than AR-CGD patients, our data suggested that BCG infections develop at high frequency in both AR-CGD and X-CGD patients, regardless of genotype and mutant forms.

Abstract
Background: Lung cancer has emerged as one of the most common cancers in recent years. The mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) is closely connected with metabolic pathways and inflammatory response. However, the influence of ETC-associated genes on the tumor immune response and the pathogenesis of lung cancer is not clear and needs further exploration. Methods: The RNA-sequencing transcriptome and clinical characteristic data of LUAD were downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The LASSO algorithm was used to build the risk signature, and the prediction model was evaluated by the survival analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve. We explored the function of FDX1 through flow cytometry, molecular biological methods, and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). Results: 12 genes (FDX1, FDX2, LOXL2, ASPH, GLRX2, ALDH2, CYCS, AKR1A1, MAOB, RDH16, CYBB, and CYB5A) were selected to build the risk signature, and the risk score was calculated with the coefficients from the LASSO algorithm. The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year area under the curve (AUC) of ROC curves of the dataset were 0.7, 0.674, and 0.692, respectively. Univariate Cox analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that the risk signature is an independent risk factor for LUAD patients. Among these genes, we focused on the FDX1 gene, and we found that knockdown of FDX1 neither inhibited tumor cell growth nor did it induce apoptosis or abnormal cell cycle distribution. But FDX1 could promote the ATP production. Furthermore, our study showed that FDX1 was closely related to the glucose metabolism, fatty acid oxidation, and amino acid metabolism. Conclusion: Collectively, this study provides new clues about carcinogenesis induced by ETC-associated genes in LUAD and paves the way for finding potential targets of LUAD.

Abstract
Immune-mediated arthritis is an important chronic inflammatory disease of joints causing debilitating morbidity in affected patients. The mechanisms underlying immune-mediated arthritis have been intensively investigated, however the cellular and molecular factors contributing to the joint inflammation in different redox conditions have not been clearly elucidated. Previous research showed that phagocyte-produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays an anti-inflammatory role in K/BxN serum-transfer arthritis and NOX2-deficient mice tend to have more severe arthritis. Although many leukocytes play critical roles in the development of immune-mediated arthritis, the role of neutrophils, which are the main producers of ROS in inflammation, is still controversial. We hence assessed the immunomodulatory function of neutrophils from arthritic joints of NOX2-deficient and wild type mice in this study. We found more neutrophils accumulation in NOX2-deficient inflamed joints. RNA-sequencing and quantitative PCR revealed significantly increased expression of acute inflammation genes including IL1b, Cxcl2, Cxcl3, Cxcl10 and Mmp3 in activated neutrophils from the inflamed joints of NOX2-deficient mice. Moreover, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) showed enriched gene signatures in type I and II IFN responses, IL-6-JAK-STAT3 signaling pathway and TNF-α signaling pathway via NF-κB in NOX2-deficient neutrophils. In addition, we found that NOX2-deficient neutrophils expressed lower levels of PD-L1 and were less suppressive than WT neutrophils. Moreover, treatment of PD-L1-Fc decreased cytokine expression and ameliorated the severity of inflammatory arthritis. Our results suggest that NOX2-derived ROS is critical for regulating the function and gene expression in arthritic neutrophils. Both the strong pro-inflammatory and weakened anti-inflammatory functions of neutrophils due to abnormal redox regulation may be targets of treatment for immune-mediated arthritis.

Abstract
Patients with autosomal recessive protein kinase C δ (PKCδ) deficiency suffer from childhood-onset autoimmunity, including systemic lupus erythematosus. They also suffer from recurrent infections that overlap with those seen in patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a disease caused by defects of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase and a lack of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. We studied an international cohort of 17 PKCδ-deficient patients and found that their EBV-B cells and monocyte-derived phagocytes produced only small amounts of ROS and did not phosphorylate p40phox normally after PMA or opsonized Staphylococcus aureus stimulation. Moreover, the patients' circulating phagocytes displayed abnormally low levels of ROS production and markedly reduced neutrophil extracellular trap formation, altogether suggesting a role for PKCδ in activation of the NADPH oxidase complex. Our findings thus show that patients with PKCδ deficiency have impaired NADPH oxidase activity in various myeloid subsets, which may contribute to their CGD-like infectious phenotype.

Abstract
Infectious diseases are potential drivers for human evolution, through a complex, continuous and dynamic interaction between the host and the pathogen/s. It is this dynamic interaction that contributes toward the clinical outcome of a pathogenic disease. These are modulated by contributions from the human genetic variants, transcriptional response (including noncoding RNA) and the pathogen’s genome architecture. Modern genomic tools and techniques have been crucial for the detection and genomic characterization of pathogens with respect to the emerging infectious diseases. Aided by next-generation sequencing (NGS), risk stratification of host population/s allows for the identification of susceptible subgroups and better disease management. Nevertheless, many challenges to a general understanding of host–pathogen interactions remain. In this review, we elucidate how a better understanding of the human host-pathogen interplay can substantially enhance, and in turn benefit from, current and future applications of multi-omics based approaches in infectious and rare diseases. This includes the RNA-level response, which modulates the disease severity and outcome. The need to understand the role of human genetic variants in disease severity and clinical outcome has been further highlighted during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This would enhance and contribute toward our future pandemic preparedness.

Abstract
Clinical disease caused by the agent of tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and by less virulent mycobacteria, such as bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccines and environmental mycobacteria, can result from inborn errors of immunity (IEIs). IEIs underlie more than 450 conditions, each associated with an impairment of the development and/or function of hematopoietic and/or non-hematopoietic cells involved in host defense. Only a minority of IEIs confer predisposition to mycobacterial disease. The IEIs underlying susceptibility to bona fide tuberculosis are less well delineated than those responsible for susceptibility to less virulent mycobacteria. However, all these IEIs share a defining feature: the impairment of immunity mediated by interferon gamma (IFN-γ). More profound IFN-γ deficiency is associated with a greater vulnerability to weakly virulent mycobacteria, whereas more selective IFN-γ deficiency is associated with a more selective predisposition to mycobacterial disease. We review here recent progress in the study of IEIs underlying mycobacterial diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases (MSMD), a group of at least 18 different genetic disorders, encompasses a specific class of inborn errors of immunity that result in predilection to infection with mycobacteria including the weakly virulent strains. Primarily, these consist of defects in the IFN-γ-IL-12/23 circuit that is crucial for immunity against intracellular microorganisms. Although the first genetic etiology of MSMD was discovered in 1996, molecular diagnosis of MSMD in resource-constrained settings may remain far-fetched. Recently, original studies have emerged from developing countries, including India, wherein the genetic diagnosis was confirmed within the country itself. A lag of about 25 years, hence, seems to exist. AREAS COVERED Herein, we review the clinical, laboratory, and mutational profile of the genetic defects responsible for causing MSMD. We intend to enhance the recognition of these disorders in settings endemic for tuberculosis and bridge the gap between the developed and developing countries in the field of MSMD research and therapeutics. EXPERT OPINION Research in the field of MSMD in developing countries, including India, can uncover novel genetic etiologies, as the population exceeds 1.3 billion, a huge burden of tuberculosis (across all clinical spectrums) exists, and BCG vaccination is given universally at birth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) experience recurrent and/or persistent infectious diseases associated with poorly virulent mycobacteria. Multifocal osteomyelitis is among the representative manifestations of MSMD. The frequency of multifocal osteomyelitis is especially high in patients with MSMD etiologies that impair cellular response to IFN-γ, such as IFN-γR1, IFN-γR2, or STAT1 deficiency. OBJECTIVES This study sought to characterize the mechanism underlying multifocal osteomyelitis in MSMD. METHODS GM colonies prepared from bone marrow mononuclear cells from patients with autosomal dominant (AD) IFN-γR1 deficiency, AD STAT1 deficiency, or STAT1 gain of function (GOF) and from healthy controls were differentiated into osteoclasts in the presence or absence of IFN-γ. The inhibitory effect of IFN-γ on osteoclastogenesis was investigated by quantitative PCR, immunoblotting, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining, and pit formation assays. RESULTS Increased osteoclast numbers were identified by examining the histopathology of osteomyelitis in patients with AD IFN-γR1 deficiency or AD STAT1 deficiency. In the presence of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand and M-CSF, GM colonies from patients with AD IFN-γR1 deficiency, AD STAT1 deficiency, or STAT1 GOF differentiated into osteoclasts, similar to GM colonies from healthy volunteers. IFN-γ concentration-dependent inhibition of osteoclast formation was impaired in GM colonies from patients with AD IFN-γR1 deficiency or AD STAT1 deficiency, whereas it was enhanced in GM colonies from patients with STAT1 GOF. CONCLUSIONS Osteoclast differentiation is increased in AD IFN-γR1 deficiency and AD STAT1 deficiency due to an impaired response to IFN-γ, leading to excessive osteoclast proliferation and, by inference, increased bone resorption in infected foci, which may underlie multifocal osteomyelitis.

Hematologically important mutations: X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (fourth update). Blood Cells Mol Dis 2021; 90:102587. [PMID: 34175765 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcmd.2021.102587] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2021] [Accepted: 05/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an immunodeficiency disorder affecting about 1 in 250,000 individuals. CGD patients suffer from severe bacterial and fungal infections. The disease is caused by a lack of superoxide production by the leukocyte enzyme NADPH oxidase. Superoxide and subsequently formed other reactive oxygen species (ROS) are instrumental in killing phagocytosed micro-organisms in neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes and macrophages. The leukocyte NADPH oxidase is composed of five subunits, of which the enzymatic component is gp91phox, also called Nox2. This protein is encoded by the CYBB gene on the X chromosome. Mutations in this gene are found in about 70% of all CGD patients in Europe and in about 20% in countries with a high ratio of parental consanguinity. This article lists all mutations identified in CYBB and should therefore help in genetic counseling of X-CGD patients' families. Moreover, apparently benign polymorphisms in CYBB are also given, which should facilitate the recognition of disease-causing mutations. In addition, we also include some mutations in G6PD, the gene on the X chromosome that encodes glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, because inactivity of this enzyme may lead to shortage of NADPH and thus to insufficient activity of NADPH oxidase. Severe G6PD deficiency can induce CGD-like symptoms.

Abstract
Bacterial pathogens that infect phagocytic cells must deploy mechanisms that sense and neutralize host microbicidal effectors. For Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, these mechanisms allow the bacterium to rapidly adapt from aerosol transmission to initial growth in the lung alveolar macrophage. Here, we identify a branched signaling circuit in M. tuberculosis that controls growth in the lung through integrated direct sensing of copper ions and nitric oxide by coupled activity of the Rip1 intramembrane protease and the PdtaS/R two-component system. This circuit uses a two-signal mechanism to inactivate the PdtaS/PdtaR two-component system, which constitutively represses virulence gene expression. Cu and NO inhibit the PdtaS sensor kinase through a dicysteine motif in the N-terminal GAF domain. The NO arm of the pathway is further controlled by sequestration of the PdtaR RNA binding response regulator by an NO-induced small RNA, controlled by the Rip1 intramembrane protease. This coupled Rip1/PdtaS/PdtaR circuit controls NO resistance and acute lung infection in mice by relieving PdtaS/R-mediated repression of isonitrile chalkophore biosynthesis. These studies identify an integrated mechanism by which M. tuberculosis senses and resists macrophage chemical effectors to achieve pathogenesis.

Abstract
Neutrophils readily infiltrate infection foci, phagocytose and usually destroy microbes. In tuberculosis (TB), a chronic pulmonary infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), neutrophils harbor bacilli, are abundant in tissue lesions, and their abundances in blood correlate with poor disease outcomes in patients. The biology of these innate immune cells in TB is complex. Neutrophils have been assigned host-beneficial as well as deleterious roles. The short lifespan of neutrophils purified from blood poses challenges to cell biology studies, leaving intracellular biological processes and the precise consequences of Mtb–neutrophil interactions ill-defined. The phenotypic heterogeneity of neutrophils, and their propensity to engage in cellular cross-talk and to exert various functions during homeostasis and disease, have recently been reported, and such observations are newly emerging in TB. Here, we review the interactions of neutrophils with Mtb, including subcellular events and cell fate upon infection, and summarize the cross-talks between neutrophils and lung-residing and -recruited cells. We highlight the roles of neutrophils in TB pathophysiology, discussing recent findings from distinct models of pulmonary TB, and emphasize technical advances that could facilitate the discovery of novel neutrophil-related disease mechanisms and enrich our knowledge of TB pathogenesis.

Abstract
The cellular formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) represents an evolutionary ancient antimicrobial defense system against microorganisms. The NADPH oxidases (NOX), which are predominantly localized to endosomes, and the electron transport chain in mitochondria are the major sources of ROS. Like any powerful immunological process, ROS formation has costs, in particular collateral tissue damage of the host. Moreover, microorganisms have developed defense mechanisms against ROS, an example for an arms race between species. Thus, although NOX orthologs have been identified in organisms as diverse as plants, fruit flies, rodents, and humans, ROS functions have developed and diversified to affect a multitude of cellular properties, i.e., far beyond direct antimicrobial activity. Here, we focus on the development of NOX in phagocytic cells, where the so-called respiratory burst in phagolysosomes contributes to the elimination of ingested microorganisms. Yet, NOX participates in cellular signaling in a cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic manner, e.g., via the release of ROS into the extracellular space. Accordingly, in humans, the inherited deficiency of NOX components is characterized by infections with bacteria and fungi and a seemingly independently dysregulated inflammatory response. Since ROS have both antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties, their tight regulation in space and time is required for an efficient and well-balanced immune response, which allows for the reestablishment of tissue homeostasis. In addition, distinct NOX homologs expressed by non-phagocytic cells and mitochondrial ROS are interlinked with phagocytic NOX functions and thus affect the overall redox state of the tissue and the cellular activity in a complex fashion. Overall, the systematic and comparative analysis of cellular ROS functions in organisms of lower complexity provides clues for understanding the contribution of ROS and ROS deficiency to human health and disease.

Abstract
Accurate diagnosis of complete inactivation of tuberculosis lesions is still a challenge with respect to sputum-negative tuberculosis. RNA-sequencing was conducted to uncover potential lncRNA indicators of metabolic activity in tuberculosis lesions. Lung tissues with high metabolic activity and low metabolic activity demonstrated by fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography were collected from five sputum-negative tuberculosis patients for RNA-sequencing. Differentially-expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs were identified. Their correlations were evaluated to construct lncRNA-mRNA co-expression network, in which lncRNAs and mRNAs with high degrees were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR using samples collected from 11 patients. Prediction efficiencies of lncRNA indicators were assessed by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Bioinformatics analysis was performed for potential lncRNAs. 386 mRNAs and 44 lncRNAs were identified to be differentially expressed. Differentially-expressed mRNAs in lncRNA-mRNA co-expression network were significantly associated with fibrillar collagen, platelet-derived growth factor binding, and leukocyte migration involved in inflammatory response. Seven mRNAs (C1QB, CD68, CCL5, CCL19, MMP7, HLA-DMB, and CYBB) and two lncRNAs (ENST00000429730.1 and MSTRG.93125.4) were validated to be significantly up-regulated. The area under the curve of ENST00000429730.1 and MSTRG.93125.4 was 0.750 and 0.813, respectively. Two lncRNAs ENST00000429730.1 and MSTRG.93125.4 might be considered as potential indicators of metabolic activity in tuberculosis lesions for sputum-negative tuberculosis.

Abstract
Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes >1.5 million deaths worldwide annually. Innate immune cells are the first to encounter M. tuberculosis, and their response dictates the course of infection. Dendritic cells (DCs) activate the adaptive response and determine its characteristics. Macrophages are responsible both for exerting cell-intrinsic antimicrobial control and for initiating and maintaining inflammation. The inflammatory response to M. tuberculosis infection is a double-edged sword. While cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-1 are important for protection, either excessive or insufficient cytokine production results in progressive disease. Furthermore, neutrophils-cells normally associated with control of bacterial infection-are emerging as key drivers of a hyperinflammatory response that results in host mortality. The roles of other innate cells, including natural killer cells and innate-like T cells, remain enigmatic. Understanding the nuances of both cell-intrinsic control of infection and regulation of inflammation will be crucial for the successful development of host-targeted therapeutics and vaccines.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica is a Gram-negative intracellular pathogen that causes a range of life-threatening diseases in humans and animals worldwide. In a systemic infection, the ability of Salmonella to survive/replicate in macrophages, particularly in the liver and spleen, is crucial for virulence. Transformed macrophage cell lines and primary macrophages prepared from mouse bone marrow are commonly used models for the study of Salmonella infection. However, these models raise technical or ethical issues that highlight the need for alternative methods. This chapter describes a technique for immortalizing early hematopoietic progenitor cells derived from wild-type or transgenic mice and using them to produce macrophages. It validates, through a specific example, the interest of this cellular approach for the study of Salmonella infection.

Abstract
We present here a male young infant with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (MIM#300400) due to the novel nonsense variant of IL2RG (interleukin 2 receptor, gamma; MIM#308380), NM_000206.2(IL2RG):c.820_823dup p.Ser275Asnfs*29. He developed aggressive reactive lymphohistiocytic proliferation after receiving the live-attenuated Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine at birth. This report advocates for modifying the current practice of early use of BCG. The natural history of his disease also suggests considering IL2RG variants as a potential cause of "X-linked recessive Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease" (MSMD). His reactive lymphohistiocytic proliferation and massive hepatosplenomegaly simulated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH, likely triggered by the BCG disease). This entity was masked by the absence of fever and markedly elevated inflammatory biomarkers. Thus, his findings stimulate discussion on the need to modify the diagnostic criteria of HLH, in order to accommodate conditions, such IL2RG variants that block systemic inflammation.

Abstract
In the United Arab Emirates, BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) is administered to all newborns. We present here a young infant with an inborn error of immunity (IEI) who developed fatal adverse events to this live-attenuated vaccine. This male infant received BCG (Serum Institute of India Pvt., Ltd., India) on Day 11 of life. On Day 25, he developed fever, followed by cervical lymphadenitis and bilateral otitis media with fluid drainage. On Day 118, he was admitted with severe hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), and passed away on Day 145. The diagnostic exome sequencing test identified a hemizygous nonsense variant, NM_000397.3(CYBB):c.676C>T, p.Arg226* (rs137854592). Pathogenic variants of CYBB [cytochrome b(-245), beta subunit; Mendelian Inheritance in Man [MIM] accession code, 300481] are known to cause "immunodeficiency 34, mycobacteriosis, X-linked" (IMD34, MIM#300645) and "chronic granulomatous disease, X-linked" (CGDX, MIM#306400). The natural history of his illness is consistent with "X-linked recessive Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD)." This entity is responsible for his BCG disease and is a likely trigger of his HLH. This disastrous event underlines the importance of developing worldwide policies that target BCG disease prevention, especially in communities with high prevalence of IEI. Moreover, screening for genetic causes of MSMD in the community could pave the way, at least partially, for scale-up of tuberculosis (TB) prevention.

Abstract
Background X‐linked chronic granulomatous disease (X‐CGD) is an immunodeficiency disorder caused by defects in the gp91phox subunit that leads to life‐threatening infections. We aimed to identify CYBB gene mutations and study clinical phenotypes in Iranian patients with probable X‐CGD. Methods We studied four unrelated Iranian patients with probable X‐CGD and their families recruited in several years. We isolated genomic DNA from whole blood and performed Sanger sequencing in the CYBB gene's coding and flanking regions. We also performed pathogenicity predictions using in silico tools. Results We detected four different mutations, including a novel insertion mutation in exon 5 (p.Ile117AsnfsX6), in the patient. Bioinformatics analysis confirmed the pathogenic effect of this mutation. We predicted protein modeling and demonstrated lost functional domains. The patient with the insertion mutation presented pneumonia and acute sinusitis during his life. We also detected three other known nonsense mutations (p.Arg157Ter, p.Arg226Ter, and p.Trp424Ter) in the CYBB gene. The patient with p.Arg157Ter developed lymphadenitis and pneumonia. Moreover, the patient with inflammatory bowel disease showed p.Arg226Ter and the patient with tuberculosis presented p.Trp424Ter. We detected different clinical features in the patients compared to other Iranian patients with the same mutations. Conclusion Our results expand the genetic database of patients with X‐CGD from Iran and make it much easier and faster to identify patients with X‐CGD. Our results also help to detect carriers and enable prenatal diagnosis in high‐risk families as a cost‐effective strategy.

Abstract
Immunotherapy using immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) induces durable responses in many metastatic cancers. Metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM), typically occurring in the liver, is one of the most refractory tumours to ICIs and has dismal outcomes. Monosomy 3 (M3), polysomy 8q, and BAP1 loss in primary uveal melanoma (pUM) are associated with poor prognoses. The presence of tumour‐infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) within pUM and surrounding mUM – and some evidence of clinical responses to adoptive TIL transfer – strongly suggests that UMs are indeed immunogenic despite their low mutational burden. The mechanisms that suppress TILs in pUM and mUM are unknown. We show that BAP1 loss is correlated with upregulation of several genes associated with suppressive immune responses, some of which build an immune suppressive axis, including HLA‐DR, CD38, and CD74. Further, single‐cell analysis of pUM by mass cytometry confirmed the expression of these and other markers revealing important functions of infiltrating immune cells in UM, most being regulatory CD8+ T lymphocytes and tumour‐associated macrophages (TAMs). Transcriptomic analysis of hepatic mUM revealed similar immune profiles to pUM with BAP1 loss, including the expression of IDO1. At the protein level, we observed TAMs and TILs entrapped within peritumoural fibrotic areas surrounding mUM, with increased expression of IDO1, PD‐L1, and β‐catenin (CTNNB1), suggesting tumour‐driven immune exclusion and hence the immunotherapy resistance. These findings aid the understanding of how the immune response is organised in BAP1− mUM, which will further enable functional validation of detected biomarkers and the development of focused immunotherapeutic approaches. © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
The field of primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) is rapidly evolving. Indeed, the number of described diseases is constantly increasing thanks to the rapid identification of novel genetic defects by next-generation sequencing. PIDs are now rather referred to as “inborn errors of immunity” due to the association between a wide range of immune dysregulation-related clinical features and the “prototypic” increased infection susceptibility. The phenotypic spectrum of PIDs is therefore very large and includes several orofacial features. However, the latter are often overshadowed by severe systemic manifestations and remain underdiagnosed. Patients with impaired innate immunity are predisposed to a variety of oral manifestations including oral infections (e.g., candidiasis, herpes gingivostomatitis), aphthous ulcers, and severe periodontal diseases. Although less frequently, they can also show orofacial developmental abnormalities. Oral lesions can even represent the main clinical manifestation of some PIDs or be inaugural, being therefore one of the first features indicating the existence of an underlying immune defect. The aim of this review is to describe the orofacial features associated with the different PIDs of innate immunity based on the new 2019 classification from the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) expert committee. This review highlights the important role played by the dentist, in close collaboration with the multidisciplinary medical team, in the management and the diagnostic of these conditions.
