Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic discovery in very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) can elucidate not only the origins of VEO-IBD, but also later-onset inflammatory bowel disease. We aimed to investigate the polygenic origins of VEO-IBD in a cohort with a high proportion of Hispanic patients. METHODS Patients with VEO-IBD who underwent whole exome sequencing at our center were included. Genes were categorized as genes of interest (GOIs) (129 genes previously described to be associated with VEO-IBD) or non-GOIs. VEO-IBD "susceptibility" single nucleotide variants (SNVs) were identified through enrichment compared with gnomAD (Genome Aggregation Database) and ALFA (Allele Frequency Aggregator) and were scored by Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion for deleteriousness. Gene networks carrying susceptibility SNVs were created. Myosin 5b immunofluorescence was also studied. RESULTS Fifty-six patients met inclusion criteria, and 32.1% identified as Hispanic. Monogenic disease was infrequent (8.9%). Significant enrichment of GOI susceptibility SNVs was observed, notably in MYO5B, especially in Hispanics. MEFV, TNFAIP3, SH3TC2, and NCF2 were also central participants in the GOI networks. Myosin 5b immunofluorescence in colonic mucosa was significantly reduced in those with MYO5B susceptibility SNVs compared with control subjects. Seven genes (ESRRA, HLA-DQ1, RETSAT, PABPC1, PARP4, CCDC102A, and SUSD2) were central participants in the non-GOI networks. CONCLUSIONS Our results support the polygenic nature of VEO-IBD, in which key participants, like MYO5B, were identified through network analytics. Rare variant load within susceptibility genes may be relevant not only for the genetic origins of inflammatory bowel disease, but also for the age of disease onset. Our findings could guide future work in precision medicine.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are multifactorial diseases which are caused by the combination of genetic predisposition, exposure factors (environmental and dietary), immune status, and dysbiosis. IBD is a disease which presents at any age, ranging from newborns to the elderly. The youngest of the pediatric IBD population have a more unique presentation and clinical course and may have a different etiology. Very early onset IBD (VEOIBD) patients, designated as those diagnosed prior the age of 6, have distinct features which are more frequent in this patient population including increased incidence of monogenetic causes for IBD (0%-33% depending on the study). This proportion is increased in the youngest subsets, which is diagnosed prior to the age of 2. To date, there are approximately 80 monogenic causes of VEOIBD that have been identified and published. Many of these monogenic causes are inborn errors of immunity yet the majority of VEOIBD patients do not have an identifiable genetic cause for their disease. In this review, we will focus on the clinical presentation, evaluation, and monogenic categories which have been associated with VEOIBD including (1) Epithelial cell defects (2) Adaptive immune defects, (3) Innate Immune/Bacterial Clearance and Recognition defects, and (4) Hyperinflammatory and autoinflammatory disorders. We will highlight differential diagnosis of VEOIBD presentations, as well as evaluation and treatment, which will be helpful for those who study and care for VEOIBD patients outside of the pediatric gastroenterology field. This is a fast-moving field of research which has grown significantly based on knowledge that we gain from our patients. These scientific findings have identified novel mucosal biology pathways and will continue to inform our understanding of gastrointestinal biology.

Abstract
Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) are generally considered to be rare monogenic disorders of the immune system that cause immunodeficiency, autoinflammation, autoimmunity, allergy and/or cancer. Here, we discuss evidence that IEIs need not be rare disorders or exclusively affect the immune system. Namely, an increasing number of patients with IEIs present with severe dysregulations of the central nervous, digestive, renal or pulmonary systems. Current challenges in the diagnosis of IEIs that result from the segregated practice of specialized medicine could thus be mitigated, in part, by immunogenetic approaches. Starting with a brief historical overview of IEIs, we then discuss the technological advances that are facilitating the immunogenetic study of IEIs, progress in understanding disease penetrance in IEIs, the expanding universe of IEIs affecting distal organ systems and the future of genetic, biochemical and medical discoveries in this field.

Abstract
NLRP12 encodes the nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat-containing receptor 12 protein and has been linked to familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 2 (FCAS2). Previous studies have reported that NLRP12 protein can dampen inflammatory responses in DSS-induced mice colitis. To date, only four alterations in the NLRP12 gene have been associated with Crohn’s disease (CD). Here, we reported a novel heterozygous NLRP12 frameshift mutation (c.2188dupG, p.Val730Glyfs41) identified by whole-exome sequencing in the proband with CD. The Sanger sequencing confirmed that his sister and father also carried this NLRP12 mutation, which cosegregated well with the CD phenotype. In silico analysis predicted this mutation to be disease-causing. Patients heterozygous for this mutation exhibited decreased NLRP12 protein levels in the peripheral blood and colon. Functional assays showed that mutant NLRP12 plasmid-transfected HEK293T cells exhibited significantly lower NLRP12 mRNA and protein levels than wild-type plasmid-transfected cells. The nonsense-mediated decay inhibitor NMDI14 significantly increased NLRP12 mRNA and protein levels in mutant plasmid-transfected cells. Overall, our results demonstrated that this heterozygous NLRP12 mutation (c.2188dupG) resulted in decreased NLRP12 expression, which might contribute to the mechanism underlying CD.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic, chronic condition characterized by episodes of inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. The nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) system describes a family of dimeric transcription factors. Canonical NF-κB signaling is stimulated by and enhances inflammation, whereas noncanonical NF-κB signaling contributes to immune organogenesis. Dysregulation of NF-κB factors drives various inflammatory pathologies, including IBD. Signals from many immune sensors activate NF-κB subunits in the intestine, which maintain an equilibrium between local microbiota and host responses. Genetic association studies of patients with IBD and preclinical mouse models confirm the importance of the NF-κB system in host defense in the gut. Other studies have investigated the roles of these factors in intestinal barrier function and in inflammatory gut pathologies associated with IBD. NF-κB signaling modulates innate and adaptive immune responses and the production of immunoregulatory proteins, anti-inflammatory cytokines, antimicrobial peptides, and other tolerogenic factors in the intestine. Furthermore, genetic studies have revealed critical cell type-specific roles for NF-κB proteins in intestinal immune homeostasis, inflammation, and restitution that contribute to the etiopathology of IBD-associated manifestations. Here, we summarize our knowledge of the roles of these NF-κB pathways, which are activated in different intestinal cell types by specific ligands, and their cross-talk, in fueling aberrant intestinal inflammation. We argue that an in-depth understanding of aberrant immune signaling mechanisms may hold the key to identifying predictive or prognostic biomarkers and developing better therapeutics against inflammatory gut pathologies.

Abstract
To accurately reveal the scenario and mecahnism of gastrointestinal diseases, the establishment of in vitro models of intestinal diseases and drug screening platforms have become the focus of attention. Over the past few decades, animal models and immortalized cell lines have provided valuable but limited insights into gastrointestinal research. In recent years, the development of intestinal organoid culture system has revolutionized in vitro studies of intestinal diseases. Intestinal organoids are derived from self-renewal and self-organization intestinal stem cells (ISCs), which can replicate the genetic characteristics, functions, and structures of the original tissues. Consequently, they provide new stragety for studying various intestinal diseases in vitro. In the review, we will discuss the culture techniques of intestinal organoids and describe the use of intestinal organoids as research tools for intestinal diseases. The role of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) played in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and the treatment of intestinal epithelial dysfunction will be highlighted. Besides, we review the current knowledge on using intestinal organoids as models to study the pathogenesis of IBD caused by epithelial dysfunction and to develop new therapeutic approaches. Finally, we shed light on the current challenges of using intestinal organoids as in vitro models.

Abstract
Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) with fiber-free diets is an effective steroid-sparing treatment to induce clinical remission in children with Crohn's disease (CD). However, the mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of EEN remains obscure. Using a model of microbiota-dependent colitis with the hallmarks of CD, we find that the administration of a fiber-free diet prevents the development of colitis and inhibits intestinal inflammation in colitic animals. Remarkably, fiber-free diet alters the intestinal localization of Mucispirillum schaedleri, a mucus-dwelling pathobiont, which is required for triggering disease. Mechanistically, the absence of dietary fiber reduces nutrient availability and impairs the dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonia (DNRA) metabolic pathway of Mucispirillum, leading to its exclusion from the mucus layer and disease remission. Thus, appropriate localization of the specific pathobiont in the mucus layer is critical for disease development, which is disrupted by fiber exclusion. These results suggest strategies to treat CD by targeting the intestinal niche and metabolism of disease-causing microbes.

Abstract
Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing proteins, NOD1 and NOD2, are cytosolic receptors that recognize dipeptides and tripeptides derived from the bacterial cell wall component peptidoglycan (PGN). During the past two decades, studies have revealed several roles for NODs beyond detecting PGN fragments, including activation of an innate immune anti-viral response, NOD-mediated autophagy, and ER stress induced inflammation. Recent studies have also clarified the dynamic regulation of NODs at cellular membranes to generate specific and balanced immune responses. This review will describe how NOD1 and NOD2 detect microbes and cellular stress and detail the molecular mechanisms that regulate activation and signaling while highlighting new evidence and the impact on inflammatory disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Although research on rare autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases has enabled definition of nonredundant regulators of homeostasis in human immunity, because of the single gene-single disease nature of many of these diseases, contributing factors were mostly unveiled in sequential and noncoordinated individual studies. We used a network-based approach for integrating a set of 186 inborn errors of immunity with predominant autoimmunity/autoinflammation into a comprehensive map of human immune dysregulation, which we termed "AutoCore." The AutoCore is located centrally within the interactome of all protein-protein interactions, connecting and pinpointing multidisease markers for a range of common, polygenic autoimmune/autoinflammatory diseases. The AutoCore can be subdivided into 19 endotypes that correspond to molecularly and phenotypically cohesive disease subgroups, providing a molecular mechanism-based disease classification and rationale toward systematic targeting for therapeutic purposes. Our study provides a proof of concept for using network-based methods to systematically investigate the molecular relationships between individual rare diseases and address a range of conceptual, diagnostic, and therapeutic challenges.

Antiviral Res 2023; 213:105584. [PMID: 37019306 DOI: 10.1016/j.antiviral.2023.105584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023]
Abstract
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients treated with interferon shows encouraging results. However, its clinical efficacy is limited by significant individual differences in treatment responses. We identified an interferon-inducible effector, TRIM22, as the likely causal target of such differential responses. We found that TRIM22 was highly expressed in interferon-responsive patients and negatively correlated with HBV DNA and HBeAg serum levels. Stable cells overexpressing TRIM22 carried significantly less HBsAg, HBeAg, and HBV DNA, and cells with knocked-down TRIM22 by shRNA displayed higher levels of these markers than controls. Integrated bioinformatics analysis and subsequent experiments revealed that TRIM22 overexpression significantly increased the supernatant levels of IL-1β and IL-8, two important cytokines of NOD2/NF-κB pathway involved in interferon-induced antiviral activities. We identified three candidate microRNAs binding to 3'UTR of TRIM22 at various locations through typical imperfect paring using the TargetScan program. MiR-548c-3p appeared to be highly expressed, while the TRIM22 level was low in the suboptimal response group of CHB patients. The Luciferase reporter assay revealed an interaction between miR-548c-3p and the 3'UTR of TRIM22, leading to a controlled suppression of TRIM22 endogenous expression. This resulted in interferon's substantially weakened therapeutic efficacy, as indicated by the elevation of the serum levels of HBsAg, HBeAg and HBV DNA in miR-548c-3p-transfected HepAD38 cells. Our study demonstrated that a particular miR-548c-3p is the key negative regulator of TRIM22 in CHB patients with a weak response to interferon treatment, providing a novel marker and target in interferon-α therapy evaluation.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of large and medium arteries that includes lipid metabolism disorder and recruitment of immune cells to the artery wall. An increasing number of studies have confirmed that inflammasome over-activation is associated with the onset and progression of atherosclerosis. The NLRP3 inflammasome, in particular, has been proven to increase the incidence rate of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) by promoting pro-inflammatory cytokine release and reducing plaque stability. The strict control of inflammasome and prevention of excessive inflammatory reactions have been the research focus of inflammatory diseases. Tripartite motif (TRIM) is a protein family with a conservative structure and rapid evolution. Several studies have demonstrated the TRIM family's regulatory role in mediating inflammation. This review aims to clarify the relationship between TRIMs and NLRP3 inflammasome and provide insights for future research and treatment discovery.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a multifactorial disorder triggered by imbalances of the microbiome and immune dysregulations in genetically susceptible individuals. Several mouse and human studies have demonstrated that multimeric inflammasomes are critical regulators of host defense and gut homeostasis by modulating immune responses to pathogen- or damage-associated molecular patterns. In the context of IBD, excessive production of pro-inflammatory Interleukin-1β has been detected in patient-derived intestinal tissues and correlated with the disease severity or failure to respond to anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy. Correspondingly, genome-wide association studies have suggested that single nucleotide polymorphisms in inflammasome components might be associated with risk of IBD development. The relevance of inflammasomes in controlling human intestinal homeostasis has been further exemplified by the discovery of very early onset IBD (VEO-IBD) patients with monogenic defects affecting different molecules in the complex regulatory network of inflammasome activity. This review provides an overview of known causative monogenic entities of VEO-IBD associated with altered inflammasome activity. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms controlling inflammasomes in monogenic VEO-IBD may open novel therapeutic avenues for rare and common inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To reveal the function and underlying mechanism of Tri-domain protein 22 (TRIM22) in psoriasis. MEHTODS M5 cytokines were applied in HaCat cells to mimic psoriasis in vitro. The TRIM22-silencing virus were established to knockdown of TRIM22 in HaCat cells. Western blot and/or real-time PCR were used to detect the expression of TRIM22, KRT1, KRT6, p-P65, P65, LC3, Beclin 1, P62, p-PI3K, PI3K, p-Akt, Akt, p-mTOR and mTOR. ELISA kits were applied to assess levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-18 and HMGB1. RESULTS TRIM22 expression levels were upregulated in M5-treated HaCat cells. M5 treatment enhanced cell proliferation and inflammation, and inhibited autophagy in HaCat cells which were effectively reversed by TRIM22 deficiency. Activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway is an essential promoter of cell proliferation and inflammation, and inhibitor of autophagy in psoriasis. TRIM22 deficiency blocked M5-induced activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in HaCat cells. CONCLUSIONS TRIM22 facilitates cell proliferation and inflammation, and suppresses autophagy in M5-treated HaCat cells through activating PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, and inhibition of TRIM22 can be a novel potential treatment for psoriasis.

Abstract
The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain protein 2 (NOD2) senses bacterial peptidoglycan to induce proinflammatory and antimicrobial responses. Dysregulation of NOD2 signaling is involved in multiple inflammatory disorders. Recently, S-palmitoylation, a novel type of post-translational modification, is reported to play a crucial role in membrane association and ligand-induced signaling of NOD2, yet its influence on the stability of NOD2 is unclear. Here we show that inhibition of S-palmitoylation facilitates the SQSTM1/p62-mediated autophagic degradation of NOD2, while S-palmitoylation of NOD2 by ZDHHC5 promotes the stability of NOD2. Furthermore, we identify a gain-of-function R444C variant of NOD2 short isoform (NOD2s-R444C) in autoinflammatory disease, which induces excessive inflammation through its high S-palmitoylation level. Mechanistically, the NOD2s-R444C variant possesses a stronger binding ability to ZDHHC5, which promotes its S-palmitoylation, and restricts its autophagic degradation by reducing its interaction with SQSTM1/p62. Taken together, our study reveals the regulatory role of S-palmitoylation in controlling NOD2 stability through the crosstalk with autophagy, and provides insights into the association between dysfunctional S-palmitoylation and the occurrence of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a common chronic recurrent inflammatory disease, which seriously threatens human life and health. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the role of tripartite motif-containing (TRIM)22 in UC and its potential mechanism. C57BL/6 mice and HT-29 cell models of UC were constructed using 2% dextran sulphate sodium (DSS). The protein and mRNA expression levels were detected by western blotting and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, respectively. Cell transfection was performed to overexpress Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2), or knockdown KLF2, TRIM22 and TRIM30 expression. The levels of inflammatory factors were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Cell Counting Kit-8 and TUNEL staining assay were employed to assess cell viability and apoptosis. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay were performed to determine the binding ability of the TRIM22 promoter to KLF2. The results revealed that DSS increased the expression levels of TRIM22 in HT-29 cells and TRIM30 in mice. Short hairpin RNA (sh)-TRIM30 could inhibit the NF-κB pathway, and reduce the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IFN-γ. Furthermore, KLF2 expression was downregulated in the cell model of UC, and the luciferase assay confirmed that the 3′ untranslated region of TRIM22 was a direct target of KLF2. The ChIP assay also verified the binding of KLF2 with the TRIM22 promoter. Notably, knockdown of KLF2 reversed the enhancing effects of sh-TRIM22 on the viability of DSS-treated HT-29 cells. In addition, compared with in the DSS + sh-TRIM22 group, the protein expression levels of phosphorylated (p)-NF-κB and p-IκBα were increased in the DSS + sh-TRIM22 + sh-KLF2 group, as were the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IFN-γ. In conclusion, TRIM22 was upregulated in DSS-induced HT-29 cells. TRIM22 knockdown increased DSS-induced HT-29 cell viability and decreased apoptosis and inflammation; this was reversed by knockdown of KLF2. These findings suggested that TRIM22 may promote disease development through the NF-κB signaling pathway in UC and could be inhibited by KLF2 transcription.

Abstract
Objective: Polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) are heterogeneous disorders. However, the etiology of PM/DM development has not been thoroughly clarified. Methods: Gene expression data of PM/DM were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus. We used robust rank aggregation (RRA) to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Gene Ontology functional enrichment and pathway analyses were used to investigate potential functions of the DEGs. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to establish a gene co-expression network. CIBERSORT was utilized to analyze the pattern of immune cell infiltration in PM/DM. Protein–protein interaction (PPI) network, Venn, and association analyses between core genes and muscle injury were performed to identify hub genes. Receiver operating characteristic analyses were executed to investigate the value of hub genes in the diagnosis of PM/DM, and the results were verified using the microarray dataset GSE48280. Results: Five datasets were included. The RRA integrated analysis identified 82 significant DEGs. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that immune function and the interferon signaling pathway were enriched in PM/DM. WGCNA outcomes identified MEblue and MEturquoise as key target modules in PM/DM. Immune cell infiltration analysis revealed greater macrophage infiltration and lower regulatory T-cell infiltration in PM/DM patients than in healthy controls. PPI network, Venn, and association analyses of muscle injury identified five putative hub genes: TRIM22, IFI6, IFITM1, IFI35, and IRF9. Conclusions: Our bioinformatics analysis identified new genetic biomarkers of the pathogenesis of PM/DM. We demonstrated that immune cell infiltration plays a pivotal part in the occurrence of PM/DM.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease is characterized by defects in epithelial function and dysregulated inflammatory signaling by lamina propria mononuclear cells including macrophages and dendritic cells in response to microbiota. In this review, we focus on the role of pattern recognition receptors in the inflammatory response as well as epithelial barrier regulation. We explore cytokine networks that increase inflammation, regulate paracellular permeability, cause epithelial damage, up-regulate epithelial proliferation, and trigger restitutive processes. We focus on studies using patient samples as well as speculate on pathways that can be targeted to more holistically treat patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
Very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) is diagnosed in children < 6 years of age, and in rare cases may be due to an identifiable monogenic cause. Recent advances in genetic testing have allowed for more accurate diagnosis, with as many as 100 genes now known to be associated with monogenic inflammatory bowel disease. These genes are involved in many immune pathways and thus may represent potential avenues for targeted precision medicine with pharmacologic treatments aimed at these. This review describes the broad classifications of monogenic disorders known to cause VEO-IBD, as well as empiric and disease-specific medical therapies. These include immune-modulating or immunosuppressant medications, nutritional therapy, surgery, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We aim to provide an overview of the current state of targeted therapy for VEO-IBD.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic recurrent gastrointestinal inflammatory disease that poses a heavy burden to the global healthcare system. However, the current paucity of mechanistic understanding of IBD pathogenesis hampers the development of aetiology‐directed therapies. Novel therapeutic options based on IBD pathogenesis are urgently needed for attaining better long‐term prognosis for IBD patients. The tripartite motif (TRIM) family is a large protein family including more than 70 structurally conservative members, typically characterized by their RBCC structure, which primarily function as E3 ubiquitin ligases in post‐translational modification. They have emerged as regulators of a broad range of cellular mechanisms, including proliferation, differentiation, transcription and immune regulation. TRIM family proteins are involved in multiple diseases, such as viral infection, cancer and autoimmune disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease. This review provides a comprehensive perspective on TRIM proteins' involvement in the pathophysiology and progression of IBD, in particular, on intestinal mucosal barriers, gene susceptibility and opportunistic infections, thus providing novel therapeutic targets for this complicated disease. However, the exact mechanisms of TRIM proteins in IBD pathogenesis and IBD‐related carcinogenesis are still unknown, and more studies are warranted to explore potential therapeutic targets of TRIM proteins in IBD.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. Although the pathophysiology of IBD is multifaceted, ubiquitination, a post-translational modification, has been shown to have essential roles in its pathogenesis and development. Ubiquitin-modifying enzymes (UMEs) work in synergy to orchestrate the optimal ubiquitination of target proteins, thereby maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple UME genes as IBD susceptibility loci, implying the importance of UMEs in IBD. Furthermore, accumulative evidence demonstrates that UMEs affect intestinal inflammation by regulating various aspects, such as intestinal barrier functions and immune responses. Considering the significant functions of UMEs in IBD, targeting UMEs could become a favorable therapeutic approach for IBD.

With the advent of new diagnostic modalities including a variety of genetic tests (discussed elsewhere in this journal), the ability to diagnose a patient with a primary immunodeficiency disorder (PIDD) has become a more streamlined process. With increased availability of genetic testing for those with suspected or known PIDD, there has been a significant increase in the number of genes associated with this group of disorders. This is of great importance as a misdiagnosis of these rare diseases can lead to a delay in what can be critical treatment options. At times, those options can include life-saving medications or procedures. Presentation of patients with PIDD can vary greatly based on the specific genetic defect and the part(s) of the immune system that is affected by the variation. PIDD disorders lead to varying levels of increased risk of infection ranging from a mild increase such as with selective IgA deficiency to a profound risk with severe combined immunodeficiency. These diseases can also cause a variety of other clinical findings including autoimmunity and gastrointestinal disease.

Abstract
Very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) is characterized by multifactorial chronic recurrent intestinal inflammation. Compared with elderly patients, those with VEO-IBD have a more serious condition, not responsive to conventional treatments, with a poor prognosis. Recent studies found that genetic and immunologic abnormalities are closely related to VEO-IBD. Intestinal immune homeostasis monogenic defects (IIHMDs) are changed through various mechanisms. Recent studies have also revealed that abnormalities in genes and immune molecular mechanisms are closely related to VEO-IBD. IIHMDs change through various mechanisms. Epigenetic factors can mediate the interaction between the environment and genome, and genetic factors and immune molecules may be involved in the pathogenesis of the environment and gut microbiota. These discoveries will provide new directions and ideas for the treatment of VEO-IBD.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which include Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), exhibits a complex multifactorial pathogenesis involving genetic susceptibility, imbalance of gut microbiota, mucosal immune disorder and environmental factors. Recent studies reported associations between ubiquitination and deubiquitination and the occurrence and development of inflammatory bowel disease. Ubiquitination modification, one of the most important types of post-translational modifications, is a multi-step enzymatic process involved in the regulation of various physiological processes of cells, including cell cycle progression, cell differentiation, apoptosis, and innate and adaptive immune responses. Alterations in ubiquitination and deubiquitination can lead to various diseases, including IBD. Here, we review the role of E3 ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinases (DUBs) and their mediated ubiquitination and deubiquitination modifications in the pathogenesis of IBD. We highlight the importance of this type of posttranslational modification in the development of inflammation, and provide guidance for the future development of targeted therapeutics in IBD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs), also called inborn errors of immunity (IEI), are genetic disorders classically characterized by an increased susceptibility to infection and/or disruption in the regulation of an immunologic pathway. This review summarizes and highlights the new IEI disorders in the IUIS 2019 report and 2020 interim report and discusses the directions for the future management of PIDs. RECENT FINDINGS Since 2017, the International Union of Immunologic Societies (IUIS) IEI committee has updated the IUIS classification of IEIs with 88 new gene defects and 75 new immune disorders. The increased utilization of genetic testing and advances in the strategic evaluation of genetic variants have identified, not only novel IEI disorders, but additional genetic causes for known IEI disorders. Investigation of potential immune susceptibilities during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic suggests that defects in Type I interferon signalling may underlie more severe disease. SUMMARY The rapid discovery of new IEIs reflects the growing trend of applying genetic testing modalities as part of medical diagnosis and management.In turn, elucidating the pathophysiology of these novel IEIs have enhanced our understanding of how genetic mutations can modulate the immune system and their consequential effect on human health and disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Untreated perinatal HIV-1 infection is often associated with rapid disease progression in children with HIV (CWH), characterized by high viral loads and early mortality. TRIM22 is a host restriction factor, which directly inhibits HIV-1 transcription, and its genotype variation is associated with disease progression in adults. We tested the hypothesis that TRIM22 genotype is associated with disease progression in CWH. DESIGN ART-naive CWH, aged 6-16 years, were recruited from primary care clinics in Harare, Zimbabwe. We performed a candidate gene association study of TRIM22 genotype and haplotypes with markers of disease progression and indicators of advanced disease. METHODS TRIM22 exons three and four were sequenced by Sanger sequencing and single nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with markers of disease progression (CD4+ T-cell count and HIV viral load) and clinical indicators of advanced HIV disease (presence of stunting and chronic diarrhoea). Associations were tested using multivariate linear and logistic regression models. RESULTS A total of 241 children, median age 11.4 years, 50% female, were included. Stunting was present in 16% of participants. Five SNPs were analyzed including rs7935564, rs2291842, rs78484876, rs1063303 and rs61735273. The median CD4+ count was 342 (IQR: 195-533) cells/μl and median HIV-1 viral load 34 199 (IQR: 8211-90 662) IU/ml. TRIM22 genotype and haplotypes were not associated with CD4+ T-cell count, HIV-1 viral load, stunting or chronic diarrhoea. CONCLUSION TRIM22 genotype was not associated with markers of HIV disease progression markers or advanced disease in CWH.

MicroRNA-376b-3p Promotes Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Replication by Targeting Viral Restriction Factor TRIM22. J Virol 2021; 96:e0159721.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus is a major economically significant pathogen and has evolved several strategies to evade host's antiviral response and provide favorable conditions for survival. In the present study, we demonstrated that a host microRNA, miR-376b-3p, was upregulated by PRRSV infection through the viral components, nsp4 and nsp11, and miR-376b-3p can directly target tripartite motif-containing 22 (TRIM22) to impair its anti-PRRSV activity, thus facilitating the replication of PRRSV. Meanwhile, we found that TRIM22 induced degradation of the nucleocapsid protein (N) of PRRSV by interacting with N protein to inhibit PRRSV replication, and further study indicated that TRIM22 could enhance the activation of lysosomal pathway by interacting with LC3 to induce lysosomal degradation of N protein. In conclusion, PRRSV increased miR-376b-3p expression and hijacked the host miR-376b-3p to promote PRRSV replication by impairing the antiviral effect of TRIM22. Therefore, our finding outlines a novel strategy of immune evasion exerted by PRRSV, which is helpful for better understanding the pathogenesis of PRRSV. IMPORTANCE Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) causes enormous economic losses each year in the swine industry worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles during viral infections via modulating the expression of viral or host genes at post-transcriptional level. TRIM22 has recently been identified as a key restriction factor that inhibited the replication of a number of human virus such as HIV, ECMV, HCV, HBV, IAV, and RSV. Here we showed that host miR-376b-3p could be up-regulated by PRRSV and functioned to impair the anti-PRRSV role of TRIM22 to facilitate PRRSV replication. Meanwhile, we found that TRIM22 inhibited the replication of PRRSV by interacting with viral N protein and accelerating its degradation through the lysosomal pathway. Collectively, the paper described a novel mechanism that PRRSV exploited the host miR-376b-3p to evade antiviral responses and provided a new insight into the study of virus-host interactions.

Abstract
Cataract is a disease that causes severe visual impairment in patients. Recent studies have found that lens epithelial cell apoptosis caused by oxidative damage is the critical cause of cataract. Moreover, TRIM22 could alleviate the ubiquitination of TRAF6. The expression of TRAF6 could activate the p38/MAPK pathway and aggravate the oxidative stress induced damage of lens epithelial cells. However, whether the TRIM22 could alleviate the oxidative stress induced damage of lens epithelial cells by regulating the expression of TRAF6 and p38/MAPK pathway is unclear. In this study, we stimulated the lens epithelial cells with the H2O2 and established the TRIM22 knockdown cells. Next, proliferation of these cells was determined by CCK-8 and EdU assays. Apoptosis of these cells was detected with the TUNEL assays. Levels of ROS was explored with the DCFH-DA staining. Finally, the expression levels of TRAF6, p-p38 and p-ERK were determined with the western blotting. According to the results, we found that knockdown of TRIM22 suppressed the proliferation and relieved the H2O2 induced DNA double-strand break and apoptosis of these cells. Inhibition of TRIM22 inhibited the production of ROS in these cells. Moreover, restriction of TRIM22 induced the decreased levels of TRAF6, p-p38 and p-ERK in lens epithelial cells. We concluded that inhibition of TRIM22 relieved the apoptosis of lens epithelial cells by suppressing the expression of TRAF6, p-p38 and p-ERK.

Abstract
The mechanisms that maintain intestinal homeostasis despite constant exposure of the gut surface to multiple environmental antigens and to billions of microbes have been scrutinized over the past 20 years with the goals to gain basic knowledge, but also to elucidate the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and to identify therapeutic targets for these severe diseases. Considerable insight has been obtained from studies based on gene inactivation in mice as well as from genome wide screens for genetic variants predisposing to human IBD. These studies are, however, not sufficient to delineate which pathways play key nonredundant role in the human intestinal barrier and to hierarchize their respective contribution. Here, we intend to illustrate how such insight can be derived from the study of human Mendelian diseases, in which severe intestinal pathology results from single gene defects that impair epithelial and or hematopoietic immune cell functions. We suggest that these diseases offer the unique opportunity to study in depth the pathogenic mechanisms leading to perturbation of intestinal homeostasis in humans. Furthermore, molecular dissection of monogenic intestinal diseases highlights key pathways that might be druggable and therapeutically targeted in common forms of IBD.

Abstract
Genetic defects of innate immunity impairing intestinal bacterial sensing are linked to the development of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Although much evidence supports a role of the intestinal virome in gut homeostasis, most studies focus on intestinal viral composition rather than on host intestinal viral sensitivity. To demonstrate the association between the development of Very Early Onset IBD (VEOIBD) and variants in the IFIH1 gene which encodes MDA5, a key cytosolic sensor for viral nucleic acids. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed in two independent cohorts of children with VEOIBD enrolled in Italy (n = 18) and USA (n = 24). Luciferase reporter assays were employed to assess MDA5 activity. An enrichment analysis was performed on IFIH1 comparing 42 VEOIBD probands with 1527 unrelated individuals without gastrointestinal or immunological issues. We identified rare, likely loss-of-function (LoF), IFIH1 variants in eight patients with VEOIBD from a combined cohort of 42 children. One subject, carrying a homozygous truncating variant resulting in complete LoF, experienced neonatal-onset, pan-gastrointestinal, IBD-like enteropathy plus multiple infectious episodes. The remaining seven subjects, affected by VEOIBD without immunodeficiency, were carriers of one LoF variant in IFIH1. Among these, two patients also carried a second hypomorphic variant, with partial function apparent when MDA5 was weakly stimulated. Furthermore, IFIH1 variants were significantly enriched in children with VEOIBD as compared to controls (p = 0.007). Complete and partial MDA5 deficiency is associated with VEOIBD with variable penetrance and expressivity, suggesting a role for impaired intestinal viral sensing in IBD pathogenesis.

Abstract
The transcription factor NF-κB regulates multiple aspects of innate and adaptive immune functions and serves as a pivotal mediator of inflammatory response. In the first part of this review, we discuss the NF-κB inducers, signaling pathways, and regulators involved in immune homeostasis as well as detail the importance of post-translational regulation by ubiquitination in NF-κB function. We also indicate the stages of central and peripheral tolerance where NF-κB plays a fundamental role. With respect to central tolerance, we detail how NF-κB regulates medullary thymic epithelial cell (mTEC) development, homeostasis, and function. Moreover, we elaborate on its role in the migration of double-positive (DP) thymocytes from the thymic cortex to the medulla. With respect to peripheral tolerance, we outline how NF-κB contributes to the inactivation and destruction of autoreactive T and B lymphocytes as well as the differentiation of CD4+-T cell subsets that are implicated in immune tolerance. In the latter half of the review, we describe the contribution of NF-κB to the pathogenesis of autoimmunity and autoinflammation. The recent discovery of mutations involving components of the pathway has both deepened our understanding of autoimmune disease and informed new therapeutic approaches to treat these illnesses.

Abstract
Balancing microbial-induced cytokines and microbial clearance is critical at mucosal sites such as the intestine. How the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-associated gene RNF186 regulates this balance is unclear. We found that macrophages from IBD-risk rs6426833 carriers in the RNF186 region showed reduced cytokines to stimulation through multiple pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Upon stimulation of PRRs, the E3-ubiquitin ligase RNF186 promoted ubiquitination of signaling complex molecules shared across PRRs and those unique to select PRRs. Furthermore, RNF186 was required for PRR-initiated signaling complex assembly and downstream signaling. RNF186, along with its intact E3-ubiquitin ligase activity, was required for optimal PRR-induced antimicrobial reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, and autophagy pathways and intracellular bacterial clearance in human macrophages and for bacterial clearance in intestinal myeloid cells. Cells transfected with the rare RNF186-A64T IBD-risk variant and macrophages from common rs6426833 RNF186 IBD-risk carriers demonstrated a reduction in these RNF186-dependent outcomes. These studies identify mechanisms through which RNF186 regulates innate immunity and show that RNF186 IBD-risk variants demonstrate a loss of function in PRR-initiated outcomes.

Abstract
Very Early Onset Inflammatory Bowel Disease (VEO-IBD) represents a cohort of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients diagnosed before 6 years of age. Unlike IBD diagnosed at older ages, VEO-IBD can be associated with underlying primary immunodeficiencies. VEO-IBD has been linked to monogenic variations in over 70 genes involved in multiple pathways of immunity. As sequencing technologies and platforms evolve and become readily available, an increasing number of genes linked to VEO-IBD have emerged. Although monogenic defects are rare in VEO-IBD, diagnosis of these variants can often dictate specific treatment. In this mini-review, we set out to describe monogenic variants previously characterized in multiple patients in the literature that contribute to VEO-IBD, diagnostic tools, unique treatment modalities for specific genetic diagnoses, and future directions in the field of VEO-IBD. Although this mini-review is by no means comprehensive of all the novel monogenic variants linked to VEO-IBD, we hope to provide relevant information that is readily accessible to clinicians and educators.

Mutation spectrum of NOD2 reveals recessive inheritance as a main driver of Early Onset Crohn's Disease. Sci Rep 2021; 11:5595. [PMID: 33692434 PMCID: PMC7946957 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-84938-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2020] [Accepted: 02/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), clinically defined as Crohn’s disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), or IBD-unclassified, results in chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract in genetically susceptible hosts. Pediatric onset IBD represents ≥ 25% of all IBD diagnoses and often presents with intestinal stricturing, perianal disease, and failed response to conventional treatments. NOD2 was the first and is the most replicated locus associated with adult IBD, to date. However, its role in pediatric onset IBD is not well understood. We performed whole-exome sequencing on a cohort of 1,183 patients with pediatric onset IBD (ages 0–18.5 years). We identified 92 probands with biallelic rare and low frequency NOD2 variants accounting for approximately 8% of our cohort, suggesting a Mendelian inheritance pattern of disease. Additionally, we investigated the contribution of recessive inheritance of NOD2 alleles in adult IBD patients from a large clinical population cohort. We found that recessive inheritance of NOD2 variants explains ~ 7% of cases in this adult IBD cohort, including ~ 10% of CD cases, confirming the observations from our pediatric IBD cohort. Exploration of EHR data showed that several of these adult IBD patients obtained their initial IBD diagnosis before 18 years of age, consistent with early onset disease. While it has been previously reported that carriers of more than one NOD2 risk alleles have increased susceptibility to Crohn’s Disease (CD), our data formally demonstrate that recessive inheritance of NOD2 alleles is a mechanistic driver of early onset IBD, specifically CD, likely due to loss of NOD2 protein function. Collectively, our findings show that recessive inheritance of rare and low frequency deleterious NOD2 variants account for 7–10% of CD cases and implicate NOD2 as a Mendelian disease gene for early onset Crohn’s Disease.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase UBR5 interacts with TTC7A and may be associated with very early onset inflammatory bowel disease. Sci Rep 2020; 10:18648.

Abstract
Very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEOIBD) denotes children with onset of IBD before six years of age. A number of monogenic disorders are associated with VEOIBD including tetratricopeptide repeat domain 7A (TTC7A) deficiency. TTC7A-deficiency is characterized by apoptotic colitis in milder cases with severe intestinal atresia and immunodeficiency in cases with complete loss of protein. We used whole exome sequencing in a VEOIBD patient presenting with colitis characterized by colonic apoptosis and no identified known VEOIBD variants, to identify compound heterozygous deleterious variants in the Ubiquitin protein ligase E3 component N-recognin 5 (UBR5) gene. Functional studies demonstrated that UBR5 co-immunoprecipitates with the TTC7A and the UBR5 variants had reduced interaction between UBR5 and TTC7A. Together this implicates UBR5 in regulating TTC7A signaling in VEOIBD patients with apoptotic colitis.

Abstract
Very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) is defined as IBD presenting before 6 years of age. When compared with IBD diagnosed in older children, VEO-IBD has some distinct characteristics such as a higher likelihood of an underlying monogenic etiology or primary immune deficiency. In addition, patients with VEO-IBD have a higher incidence of inflammatory bowel disease unclassified (IBD-U) as compared with older-onset IBD. In some populations, VEO-IBD represents the age group with the fastest growing incidence of IBD. There are contradicting reports on whether VEO-IBD is more resistant to conventional medical interventions. There is a strong need for ongoing research in the field of VEO-IBD to provide optimized management of these complex patients. Here, we provide an approach to diagnosis and management of patients with VEO-IBD. These recommendations are based on expert opinion from members of the VEO-IBD Consortium (www.VEOIBD.org). We highlight the importance of monogenic etiologies, underlying immune deficiencies, and provide a comprehensive description of monogenic etiologies identified to date that are responsible for VEO-IBD.

Abstract
Tripartite motif-containing 22 (TRIM22) has been documented to participate in numerous cellular activities during human diseases. However, whether TRIM22 is involved in the regulation of neuronal survival during the progression of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remains unknown. In the present study, treatment of HCN-2 cells with oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) markedly upregulated TRIM22 expression. A significant increase in TRIM22 expression was observed in the ischemic cortex tissues from middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion mice. OGD/R inhibited the viability and induced the apoptosis of HCN-2 cells, which was accompanied by an increase in caspase-3 activity and an increase in LDH release. Furthermore, OGD/R increased the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-6, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation, as evidenced by increases in NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain and cleaved caspase-1 expression and caspase-1 activity. However, these changes induced by OGD/R were blocked by silencing of TRIM22. In addition, TRIM22 regulated NF-κB activity in HCN-2 cells undergoing OGD/R stimulation. Furthermore, inhibition of NF-κB by pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate inhibited OGD/R-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in HCN-2 cells. Taken together, silencing of TRIM22 protects neurons against OGD/R-induced apoptosis and inflammation. The anti-inflammatory effect of TRIM22 knockdown was the consequence of inhibition of NF-κB/NLRP3 axis. TRIM22 may be a potential target for treating cerebral I/R injury.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer (EnC) is a malignant gynecological tumor commonly observed in developed countries, specifically among post‑menopausal women. Although numerous patients with EnC receive promising prognoses, those with advanced or metastatic disease often have a poor prognosis and an impaired quality of life. Tripartite motif‑containing 22 (TRIM22) has been confirmed to play many crucial roles in different biological processes, from inflammatory to tumorigenesis. However, the multifaceted roles of TRIM22 in EnC remain uncharacterized. Herein, comparing normal endometrial tissues with tumor tissues obtained from patients, it was concluded that TRIM22 expression was decreased in tumor tissues. However, the overexpression of TRIM22 served to inhibit the migratory, invasive, proliferative and cell cycle activity of EnC cells. Moreover, the knockdown of TRIM22 increased the migratory, invasive, and proliferative activity of the EnC cells. Furthermore, it was found that TRIM22 effectively suppressed EnC progression through the nucleotide binding oligomerization domain containing 2 (NOD2)/nuclear factor (NF)‑κB pathway. The data also demonstrated that TRIM22 functions as an inhibitor of EnC tumor xenograft growth in vivo. Overall, the findings of the present study define a novel regulatory role for TRIM22 in EnC progression. Moreover, TRIM22 may serve as an important prognostic predictor for EnC.

Abstract
The rate of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been increasing over the last decade and this increase has occurred most rapidly in the youngest children diagnosed <6 years, known as very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD). These children can present with more extensive and severe disease than older children and adults. The contribution of host genetics in this population is underscored by the young age of onset and the distinct, aggressive phenotype. In fact, monogenic defects, often involving primary immunodeficiency genes, have been identified in children with VEO-IBD and have led to targeted and life-saving therapy. This position paper will discuss the phenotype of VEO-IBD and outline the approach and evaluation for these children and what factors should trigger concern for an underlying immunodeficiency. We will then review the immunological assays and genetic studies that can facilitate the identification of the underlying diagnosis in patients with VEO-IBD and how this evaluation may lead to directed therapies. The position paper will also aid the pediatric gastroenterologist in recognizing when a patient should be referred to a center specializing in the care of these patients. These guidelines are intended for pediatricians, allied health professionals caring for children, pediatric gastroenterologists, pediatric pathologists, and immunologists.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Monogenic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) comprises rare Mendelian causes of gut inflammation, often presenting in infants with severe and atypical disease. This study aimed to identify clinically relevant variants within 68 monogenic IBD genes in an unselected pediatric IBD cohort. METHODS Whole exome sequencing was performed on patients with pediatric-onset disease. Variants fulfilling the American College of Medical Genetics criteria as "pathogenic" or "likely pathogenic" were assessed against phenotype at diagnosis and follow-up. Individual patient variants were assessed and processed to generate a per-gene, per-individual, deleteriousness score. RESULTS Four hundred one patients were included, and the median age of disease-onset was 11.92 years. In total, 11.5% of patients harbored a monogenic variant. TRIM22-related disease was implicated in 5 patients. A pathogenic mutation in the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) gene was confirmed in 2 male children with severe pancolonic inflammation and primary sclerosing cholangitis. In total, 7.3% of patients with Crohn's disease had apparent autosomal recessive, monogenic NOD2-related disease. Compared with non-NOD2 Crohn's disease, these patients had a marked stricturing phenotype (odds ratio 11.52, significant after correction for disease location) and had undergone significantly more intestinal resections (odds ratio 10.75). Variants in ADA, FERMT1, and LRBA did not meet the criteria for monogenic disease in any patients; however, case-control analysis of mutation burden significantly implicated these genes in disease etiology. DISCUSSION Routine whole exome sequencing in pediatric patients with IBD results in a precise molecular diagnosis for a subset of patients with IBD, providing the opportunity to personalize therapy. NOD2 status informs risk of stricturing disease requiring surgery, allowing clinicians to direct prognosis and intervention.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex genetic disease that is instigated and amplified by the confluence of multiple genetic and environmental variables that perturb the immune-microbiome axis. The challenge of dissecting pathological mechanisms underlying IBD has led to the development of transformative approaches in human genetics and functional genomics. Here we describe IBD as a model disease in the context of leveraging human genetics to dissect interactions in cellular and molecular pathways that regulate homeostasis of the mucosal immune system. Finally, we synthesize emerging insights from multiple experimental approaches into pathway paradigms and discuss future prospects for disease-subtype classification and therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
The tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins have been intensively studied as essential modulators in various biological processes, especially in regulating a wide range of signaling pathways involved in immune responses. Most TRIM proteins have E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, mediating polyubiquitination of target proteins. Emerging evidence demonstrates that TRIM proteins play important roles in innate immunity by regulating pattern recognition receptors, vital adaptor proteins, kinases, and transcription factors in innate immune signaling pathways. Additionally, the critical roles of TRIM proteins in adaptive immunity, especially in T cell development and activation, are increasingly appreciated. In this review, we aim to summarize the studies on TRIMs in both innate and adaptive immunity, focusing on their E3 ubiquitin ligase functions in pattern recognition receptor signaling pathways and T cell functions, shedding light on the developing new strategies for modulating innate and adaptive immune responses against invading pathogens and avoiding autoimmunity.

Abstract
We report the updated classification of Inborn Errors of Immunity/Primary Immunodeficiencies, compiled by the International Union of Immunological Societies Expert Committee. This report documents the key clinical and laboratory features of 430 inborn errors of immunity, including 64 gene defects that have either been discovered in the past 2 years since the previous update (published January 2018) or were characterized earlier but have since been confirmed or expanded upon in subsequent studies. The application of next-generation sequencing continues to expedite the rapid identification of novel gene defects, rare or common; broaden the immunological and clinical phenotypes of conditions arising from known gene defects and even known variants; and implement gene-specific therapies. These advances are contributing to greater understanding of the molecular, cellular, and immunological mechanisms of disease, thereby enhancing immunological knowledge while improving the management of patients and their families. This report serves as a valuable resource for the molecular diagnosis of individuals with heritable immunological disorders and also for the scientific dissection of cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying inborn errors of immunity and related human diseases.

Abstract
NOD1 and NOD2 belong to the family of intracellular Nod-like receptors (NLRs) that are involved in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis and host defense against bacteria and some viruses. When sensing such microbes, those NLRs act as hitherto scaffolding proteins for activating multiple downstream inflammatory signaling pathways to promote the production of cytokines and chemokines that are ultimately important for pathogen clearance. In recent years, substantial advances have been made on our understanding of a contextual series of intracellular processes that regulate such group of innate immune molecules, including phosphorylation and ubiquitination. Specifically, we will herein discuss those recently described posttranslational modifications of either NOD1 or NOD2 that fundamentally contribute to the robustness of protective responses within specific tissues through either internal domain association or external interactions with various proteins. From a public health perspective, it is then anticipated that a better understanding how genetic mutations and deregulation of these activating and repressing mechanisms might break down in diseases would open up new therapeutic avenues for humanity.

Nuclear localization signal in TRIM22 is essential for inhibition of type 2 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus replication in MARC-145 cells. Virus Genes 2019; 55:660-672.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection causes one of the most economically important swine diseases worldwide. Tripartite motif-containing 22 (TRIM22), a TRIM family protein, has been identified as a crucial restriction factor that inhibits a group of human viruses. Currently, the role of cellular TRIM22 in PRRSV infection remains unclear. In the present study, we analyzed the effect of TRIM22 on PRRSV replication in vitro and explored the underlying mechanism. Ectopic expression of TRIM22 impaired the viral replication, while TRIM22-RNAi favored the replication of PRRSV in MARC-145 cells. Additionally, we observed that TRIM22 deletion SPRY domain or Nuclear localization signal (NLS) losses the ability to inhibit PRRSV replication. Finally, Co-IP analysis identified that TRIM22 interacts with PRRSV nucleocapsid (N) protein through the SPRY domain, while the NLS2 motif of N protein is involved in interaction with TRIM22. Although the concentration of PRRSV N protein was not altered in the presence of TRIM22, the abundance of N proteins from simian hemorrhagic fever virus (SHFV), equine arteritis virus (EAV), and murine lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus (LDV) diminished considerably with increasing TRIM22 expression. Together, our findings uncover a previously unrecognized role for TRIM22 and extend the antiviral effects of TRIM22 to arteriviruses.

Abstract
Whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing of individual patients allow the study of rare and potentially causative genetic variation. In this study, we sequenced DNA of a trio comprising a boy with very-early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (veoIBD) and his unaffected parents. We identified a rare, X-linked missense variant in the NAPDH oxidase NOX1 gene (c.C721T, p.R241C) in heterozygous state in the mother and in hemizygous state in the patient. We discovered that, in addition, the patient was homozygous for a common missense variant in the CYBA gene (c.T214C, p.Y72H). CYBA encodes the p22phox protein, a cofactor for NOX1. Functional assays revealed reduced cellular ROS generation and antibacterial capacity of NOX1 and p22phox variants in intestinal epithelial cells. Moreover, the identified NADPH oxidase complex variants affected NOD2-mediated immune responses, and p22phox was identified as a novel NOD2 interactor. In conclusion, we detected missense variants in a veoIBD patient that disrupt the host response to bacterial challenges and reduce protective innate immune signaling via NOD2. We assume that the patient's individual genetic makeup favored disturbed intestinal mucosal barrier function.

Abstract
Recent advances in molecular biology have provided important insights into the genetic background of various inflammatory diseases. In particular, genome-wide association studies of inflammatory diseases have revealed genetic loci that play critical roles in the pathology of inflammation. Whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing analyses have also identified more than 300 causative genes for primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs). Some genetic loci that are associated with inflammatory diseases are mutated in PIDs, suggesting close relationships between inflammation and PIDs. Inflammatory diseases for which genetic associations have been described include inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Herein, I discuss about the genetic interactions between IBD and PIDs.

Abstract
Rare, monogenetic diseases present unique models to dissect gene functions and biological pathways, concomitantly enhancing our understanding of the etiology of complex (and often more common) traits. Although inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a generally prototypic complex disease, it can also manifest in an early-onset, monogenic fashion, often following Mendelian modes of inheritance. Recent advances in genomic technologies have spurred the identification of genetic defects underlying rare, very early-onset IBD (VEO-IBD) as a disease subgroup driven by strong genetic influence, pinpointing key players in the delicate homeostasis of the immune system in the gut and illustrating the intimate relationships between bowel inflammation, systemic immune dysregulation, and primary immunodeficiency with increased susceptibility to infections. As for other human diseases, it is likely that adult-onset diseases may represent complex diseases integrating the effects of host genetic susceptibility and environmental triggers. Comparison of adult-onset IBD and VEO-IBD thus provides beautiful models to investigate the relationship between monogenic and multifactorial/polygenic diseases. This review discusses the present and novel findings regarding monogenic IBD as well as key questions and future directions of IBD research.

Abstract
Recent studies on pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have revealed that early-onset IBD has distinct phenotypic differences compared with adult-onset IBD. In particular, very early-onset IBD (VEO-IBD) differs in many aspects, including the disease type, location of the lesions, disease behavior, and genetically attributable risks. Several genetic defects that disturb intestinal epithelial barrier function or affect immune function have been noted in these patients from the young age groups. In incidence of pediatric IBD in Korea has been increasing since the early 2000s. Neonatal or infantile-onset IBD develops in less than 1% of pediatric patients. Children with "neonatal IBD" or "infantile-onset IBD" have higher rates of affected first-degree relatives, severe disease course, and a high rate of resistance to immunosuppressive treatment. The suspicion of a monogenic cause of VEO-IBD was first confirmed by the discovery of mutations in the genes encoding the interleukin 10 (IL-10) receptors that cause impaired IL-10 signaling. Patients with such mutations typically presented with perianal fistulae, shows a poor response to medical management, and require early surgical interventions in the first year of life. To date, 60 monogenic defects have been identified in children with IBD-like phenotypes. The majority of monogenic defects presents before 6 years of age, and many present before 1 year of age. Next generation sequencing could become an important diagnostic tool in children with suspected genetic defects especially in children with VEO-IBD with severe disease phenotypes. VEO-IBD is a phenotypically and genetically distinct disease entity from adult-onset or older pediatric IBD.
