Abstract
Food allergy is a growing public health issue among children and adults that can lead to life-threatening anaphylaxis following allergen exposure. The criterion standard for disease management includes food avoidance and emergency epinephrine administration because current allergen-specific immunotherapy treatments are limited by adverse events and unsustained desensitization. A promising approach to remedy these shortcomings is the use of nanoparticle-based therapies that disrupt disease-driving immune mechanisms and induce more sustained tolerogenic immune pathways. The pathophysiology of food allergy includes multifaceted interactions between effector immune cells, including lymphocytes, antigen-presenting cells, mast cells, and basophils, mainly characterized by a TH2 cell response. Regulatory T cells, TH1 cell responses, and suppression of other major allergic effector cells have been found to be major drivers of beneficial outcomes in these nanoparticle therapies. Engineered nanoparticle formulations that have shown efficacy at reducing allergic responses and revealed new mechanisms of tolerance include polymeric-, lipid-, and emulsion-based nanotherapeutics. This review highlights the recent engineering design of these nanoparticles, the mechanisms induced by them, and their future potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
The signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) family of proteins has been demonstrated to perform pivotal roles downstream of a myriad of cytokines, particularly those that control immune cell production and function. This is highlighted by both gain-of-function (GOF) and loss-of-function (LOF) mutations being implicated in various diseases impacting cells of the immune system. These mutations are typically inherited, although somatic GOF mutations are commonly observed in certain immune cell malignancies. This review details the growing appreciation of STAT proteins as a key node linking immunodeficiency, autoimmunity and cancer.

Abstract
Transcription factors (TFs) are critical components involved in regulating immune system development, maintenance, and function. Monogenic defects in certain TFs can therefore give rise to inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) with profound clinical implications ranging from infections, malignancy, and in some cases severe allergic inflammation. This review examines TF defects underlying IEIs with severe atopy as a defining clinical phenotype, including STAT3 loss-of-function, STAT6 gain-of-function, FOXP3 deficiency, and T-bet deficiency. These disorders offer valuable insights into the pathophysiology of allergic inflammation, expanding our understanding of both rare monogenic and common polygenic allergic diseases. Advances in genetic testing will likely uncover new IEIs associated with atopy, enriching our understanding of molecular pathways involved in allergic inflammation. Identification of monogenic disorders profoundly influences patient prognosis, treatment planning, and genetic counseling. Hence, the consideration of IEIs is essential for patients with severe, early-onset atopy. This review highlights the need for continued investigation into TF defects to enhance our understanding and management of allergic diseases.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor activity downstream of IL-10 signaling is required to promote regulatory functions in human dendritic cells. Cell Rep 2023; 42:112193.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-10 is a main player in peripheral immune tolerance, the physiological mechanism preventing immune reactions to self/harmless antigens. Here, we investigate IL-10-induced molecular mechanisms generating tolerogenic dendritic cells (tolDC) from monocytes. Using genomic studies, we show that IL-10 induces a pattern of accessible enhancers exploited by aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) to promote expression of a set of core genes. We demonstrate that AHR activity occurs downstream of IL-10 signaling in myeloid cells and is required for the induction of tolerogenic activities in DC. Analyses of circulating DCs show that IL-10/AHR genomic signature is active in vivo in health. In multiple sclerosis patients, we instead observe significantly altered signature correlating with functional defects and reduced frequencies of IL-10-induced-tolDC in vitro and in vivo. Our studies identify molecular mechanisms controlling tolerogenic activities in human myeloid cells and may help in designing therapies to re-establish immune tolerance.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial cells for initiating and maintaining immune response. They play critical role in homeostasis, inflammation, and autoimmunity. A number of molecules regulate their functions including synapse formation, migration, immunity, and induction of tolerance. A number of IEI are characterized by mutations in genes encoding several of these molecules resulting in immunodeficiency, inflammation, and autoimmunity in IEI. Currently, there are 465 Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) that have been grouped in 10 different categories. However, comprehensive studies of DCs have been reported in only few IEI. Here we have reviewed biology of DCs in IEI classified according to recently published IUIS classification. We have reviewed DCs in selected IEI in each group category and discussed in depth changes in DCs where significant data are available regarding role of DCs in clinical and immunological manifestations. These include severe immunodeficiency diseases, antibody deficiencies, combined immunodeficiency with associated and syndromic features, especially disorders of synapse formation, and disorders of immune regulation.

Abstract
Simple Summary Tumour onset and development occur because of specific immune support. The immune system, which is originally able to perceive and eliminate incipient cancer cells, becomes suppressed and hijacked by cancer. For these purposes, tumour cells use extracellular vesicles (TEVs). Specific molecular composition allows TEVs to reprogram immune cells towards tumour tolerance. Circulating TEVs move from their site of origin to other organs, preparing “a fertile soil” for metastasis formation. This implies that TEV molecular content can provide a valuable tool for cancer biomarker discovery and potential targets to reshape the immune system into tumour recognition and eradication. Abstract Control of the immune response is crucial for tumour onset and progression. Tumour cells handle the immune reaction by means of secreted factors and extracellular vesicles (EV). Tumour-derived extracellular vesicles (TEV) play key roles in immune reprogramming by delivering their cargo to different immune cells. Tumour-surrounding tissues also contribute to tumour immune editing and evasion, tumour progression, and drug resistance via locally released TEV. Moreover, the increase in circulating TEV has suggested their underpinning role in tumour dissemination. This review brings together data referring to TEV-driven immune regulation and antitumour immune suppression. Attention was also dedicated to TEV-mediated drug resistance.

J Allergy Clin Immunol 2022; 150:1237-1241.e3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Germline mutations of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) are responsible for two distinct human diseases: autosomal-dominant hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome (AD-HIES) caused by STAT3 loss-of-function (STAT3-LOF) mutations and STAT3 gain-of-function (STAT3-GOF) disease. So far, these entities have been regarded as antithetic, with AD-HIES mainly associated with characteristic infections and a connective tissue phenotype and STAT3-GOF characterized by lymphoproliferation and poly-autoimmunity. The R335W substitution in the DNA binding domain of STAT3 was initially described in 2 patients with typical AD-HIES, but paradoxically, recent functional analysis demonstrated a GOF effect of this variant. OBJECTIVE We describe a patient with Sjögren syndrome and features of AD-HIES with this mutation and further characterize its molecular consequences. METHODS We provide a clinical and immunological description of the patient. We studied STAT phosphorylation in primary patient cells and used A4 cells transfected with the patient allele to study phosphorylation kinetics, transcriptional activity and target-gene induction. RESULTS The hybrid clinical features of the patient were associated with normal Th17 cells. We observed enhanced and prolonged STAT3 phosphorylation, an increased STAT3 driven luciferase reporter activity upon interleukin-6 stimulation, but reduced IL-6 induced SOCS3 production. CONCLUSION The germline R335W-STAT3 variant displays a mixed behavior in vitro that mainly shows gain-of-function, but also loss-of-function features. This is matched by an ambiguous clinical and immunological phenotype which dismantles the classical antithetic dualism of gain- versus loss-of-function. Germline STAT3 mutation related-disease represents a pathological spectrum with the p.R335W associated phenotype locating between the two recognized clinical disease patterns.

Abstract
Background: ADVanced Organ Support (ADVOS) is a novel type of extracorporeal albumin dialysis that supports multiorgan function in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). No data exist on whether ADVOS affects inflammatory cytokine levels, which play a relevant role in ACLF. Aim: Our aim was to quantify cytokine levels both before and after a single ADVOS treatment in patients with ACLF at a regular dialysis ward. Methods and results: In this prospective study, 15 patients (60% men) with ACLF and an indication for renal replacement therapy were included. Patient liver function was severely compromised, reflected by a median CLIF-consortium ACLF score of 38 (IQR 35; 40). Blood samples were directly taken before and after ADVOS dialysis. The concentration of cytokines for IL-1β, IFN-α2, IFN-γ, TNF-α, MCP-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-17A, IL-18, IL-23, IL-33 were quantified via a cytometric bead array. We found no significant (p > 0.05) change in cytokine levels, even when patients were stratified for dialysis time (<480 min versus ≥480 min). The relevance of the assessed cytokines in contributing to systemic inflammation in ACLF was demonstrated by Ingenuity pathway analysis®. Conclusion: Concentrations of pathomechanistically relevant cytokines remained unchanged both before and after ADVOS treatment in patients with ACLF.

Abstract
The IL-6 family of cytokines mediates functions in host protective immunity, development of multiple organs, tissue regeneration and metabolism. Inborn errors in cytokines or cytokine receptor units highlight specific roles for IL-6, IL-11, LIF, OSM, and CLC signaling whereas incomplete loss-of-function variants in the common receptor chain GP130 encoded by IL6ST or the transcription factor STAT3, as well as genes that affect either GP130 glycosylation (PGM3) or STAT3 transcriptional control (ZNF341) lead to complex phenotypes including features of hyper-IgE syndrome. Gain-of-function variants in the GP130-STAT3 signaling pathway cause immune dysregulation disorders. Insights into IL-6 family cytokine signaling inform on therapeutic application in immune-mediated disorders and potential side effects such as infection susceptibility.

Abstract
The oral cavity is colonized by a large number of microorganisms that are referred to collectively as the oral microbiota. These indigenous microorganisms have evolved in symbiotic relationships with the oral mucosal immune system and are involved in maintaining homeostasis in the oral cavity. Although Candida species are commonly found in the healthy oral cavity without causing infection, these fungi can become pathogenic. Recents advances indicate that the development of oral candidiasis is driven both by Candida albicans overgrowth in a dysbiotic microbiome and by disturbances in the host's immune system. Perturbation of the oral microbiota triggered by host-extrinsic (ie, medications), host-intrinsic (ie, host genetics), and microbiome-intrinsic (ie, microbial interactions) factors may increase the risk of oral candidiasis. In this review, we provide an overview of the oral mycobiome, with a particular focus on the interactions of Candida albicans with some of the most common oral bacteria and the oral mucosal immune system. Also, we present a summary of our current knowledge of the host-intrinsic and host-extrinsic factors that can predispose to oral candidiasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A heterozygous mutation of STAT3 causes autosomal dominant hyper immunoglobulin E (IgE) syndrome; however, there are still many unclear points regarding the clinical spectrum of this syndrome. METHODS In addition to a clinical description of patients in terms of pedigree, a genetic analysis, quantitation of peripheral blood Th17 and ex vivo IL-17 production were carried out. RESULTS The proband, a 2-year-old boy (Patient 1) with early onset atopic dermatitis-like eczema and recurrent bacterial infections, was suspected of autosomal dominant hyper immunoglobulin E syndrome on the basis of his symptoms and family history. His mother (Patient 2) also had skin eczema and recurrent bacterial infections, and his sister (Patient 3) had skin eczema. A novel STAT3 mutation (p.S476F) was detected in all three patients, but not in the father, who had no such symptoms. A significant decrease in peripheral blood Th17 subsets and IL-17 production was found in all the patients. Curiously, all three patients carrying the p.S476F mutation in STAT3 lacked connective tissue signs such as distinctive facial features, retention of primary teeth, and joint hyperextensibility. CONCLUSIONS Autosomal dominant hyper IgE syndrome should, perhaps, be considered even if patients lack connective tissue signs, as long as hypersensitivity to infection and skin manifestations with hyper IgE are present.

Abstract
Hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome (HIES) is a primary immunodeficiency disease characterized by recurrent Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections, eczema, skeletal abnormalities and high titers of serum immunoglobulin E. Although the genetic basis of HIES was not known for almost a half century, HIES most frequently exhibits autosomal dominant trait that is transmitted with variable expressivity. Careful genetic studies in recent years identified dominant-negative mutations in human signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) gene as the cause of sporadic and dominant forms of HIES. The STAT3 mutations were localized to DNA-binding, SRC homology 2 (SH2) and transactivating domains and disrupted T helper 17 (TH17) cell differentiation and downstream expression of TH17 cytokines IL-17 and IL-22. Deficiency of IL-17 and IL-22 in turn is responsible for suboptimal expression of anti-staphylococcal host factors, such as neutrophil-recruiting chemokines and antimicrobial peptides, by human keratinocytes and bronchial epithelial cells. TH17 cytokines deficiency thereby explains the recurrent staphylococcal lung and skin infections of HIES patients.

Abstract
3'-Sialyllactose (3'-SL), a natural prebiotic, maintains immune homeostasis and exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects. Although regulatory T cells (Tregs) prevent excessive inflammation and maintain immune tolerance, the effect of 3'-SL on Treg regulation is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of 3'-SL on Treg responses in atopic dermatitis (AD) pathogenesis. Oral administration of 3'-SL reduced AD-like symptoms such as ear, epidermal, and dermal thickness in repeated topical application of house dust mites (HDM) and 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). 3'-SL inhibited IgE, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α secretion and markedly downregulated AD-related cytokines including IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-13, IL-17, IFN-γ, TNF-α, and Tslp through regulation of NF-κB in ear tissue. Additionally, in vitro assessment of Treg differentiation revealed that 3'-SL directly induced TGF-β-mediated Treg differentiation. Furthermore, 3'-SL administration also ameliorated sensitization and elicitation of AD pathogenesis by suppressing mast cell infiltration and production of IgE and pro-inflammatory cytokines in mouse serum by mediating the Treg response. Furthermore, Bifidobacterium population was also increased by 3'-SL administration as prebiotics. Our data collectively show that 3'-SL has therapeutic effects against AD progression by inducing Treg differentiation, downregulating AD-related cytokines, and increasing the Bifidobacterium population.

Abstract
In humans, loss-of-function mutation in the Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) gene is frequently associated with susceptibility to bacterial as well as fungal infections including aspergillosis, although its pathogenesis remains largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the immune responses obtained after stimulation with Aspergillus fumigatus in STAT3-deficient patients. A. fumigatus conidial killing efficiencies of both monocytes and neutrophils isolated from whole blood samples of STAT3-deficient patients were not different compared to those of healthy controls. After stimulation with A. fumigatus conidia, lower concentrations of adaptive cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-17 and IL-22) were secreted by peripheral blood mononuclear cells from STAT3-deficient patients compared to those from healthy controls. Moreover, the frequency of IFN-γ and IL-17 producing CD4+ T cells was lower in STAT3-deficient patients vs. healthy controls. Among the STAT3-deficient patients, those with aspergillosis showed further lower secretion of IFN-γ upon stimulation of their PBMCs with A. fumigatus conidia compared to the patients without aspergillosis. Together, our study indicated that STAT3-deficiency leads to a defective adaptive immune response against A. fumigatus infection, particularly with a lower IFN-γ and IL-17 responses in those with aspergillosis, suggesting potential therapeutic benefit of recombinant IFN-γ in STAT3-deficient patients with aspergillosis.

Abstract
STAT (Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription) is a cellular signal transcription factor involved in the regulation of many cellular activities, such as cell differentiation, proliferation, angiogenesis in normal cells. During the study of the STAT family, STAT3 was found to be involved in many diseases, such as high expression and sustained activation of STAT3 in tumor cells, promoting tumor growth and proliferation. In the study of inflammation, it was found that it plays an important role in the anti-inflammatory and repairing of damage tissues. Because of the important role of STAT3, a large number of studies have been obtained. At the same time, after more than 20 years of development, STAT3 has also been used as a target for drug therapy. And the discovery of small molecule inhibitors also promoted the study of STAT3. Since STAT3 has been extensively studied in inflammation and tumor regulation, this review presents the current state of research on STAT3.

A deep intronic splice mutation of STAT3 underlies hyper IgE syndrome by negative dominance. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2019; 116:16463-16472.

Abstract
Heterozygous in-frame mutations in coding regions of human STAT3 underlie the only known autosomal dominant form of hyper IgE syndrome (AD HIES). About 5% of familial cases remain unexplained. The mutant proteins are loss-of-function and dominant-negative when tested following overproduction in recipient cells. However, the production of mutant proteins has not been detected and quantified in the cells of heterozygous patients. We report a deep intronic heterozygous STAT3 mutation, c.1282-89C>T, in 7 relatives with AD HIES. This mutation creates a new exon in the STAT3 complementary DNA, which, when overexpressed, generates a mutant STAT3 protein (D427ins17) that is loss-of-function and dominant-negative in terms of tyrosine phosphorylation, DNA binding, and transcriptional activity. In immortalized B cells from these patients, the D427ins17 protein was 2 kDa larger and 4-fold less abundant than wild-type STAT3, on mass spectrometry. The patients' primary B and T lymphocytes responded poorly to STAT3-dependent cytokines. These findings are reminiscent of the impaired responses of leukocytes from other patients with AD HIES due to typical STAT3 coding mutations, providing further evidence for the dominance of the mutant intronic allele. These findings highlight the importance of sequencing STAT3 introns in patients with HIES without candidate variants in coding regions and essential splice sites. They also show that AD HIES-causing STAT3 mutant alleles can be dominant-negative even if the encoded protein is produced in significantly smaller amounts than wild-type STAT3.

STAT Family Protein Expression and Phosphorylation State during moDC Development Is Altered by Platinum-Based Chemotherapeutics. J Immunol Res 2019; 2019:7458238.

Abstract
The STAT signaling pathway is important in dendritic cell (DC) development and function. Tumor cells can induce STAT signaling, thereby inhibiting DC maturation and immunostimulatory functions, leading to hampered efficacy of DC-based immunotherapies. Platinum-based chemotherapeutics can inhibit STAT signaling, thereby making them an interesting tool to improve DC development and function. In this study, we provide a comprehensive overview of STAT expression and phosphorylation during DC differentiation and maturation and investigate the effects of platinum drugs on STAT signaling during these processes. Monocytes were differentiated into monocyte-derived DCs (moDCs) with IL-4 and GM-CSF and matured with cytokines or TLR ligands. STAT expression and phosphorylation were analyzed by western blotting, and moDC viability and phenotype were analyzed by flow cytometry. Platinum drugs were added at day 3 of differentiation or at the start of maturation to investigate regulation of the STAT signaling pathway. All STAT proteins were expressed during moDC differentiation and STAT1, STAT5, and STAT6 were phosphorylated. No significant changes occurred in the expression and phosphorylation state of the STAT proteins during differentiation. After maturation with TLR ligands, the expression of STAT1 increased, but other STAT proteins were not affected. Phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3 increased during maturation, where TLR ligands induced significantly higher levels of phosphorylation than cytokines. Platinum drugs cisplatin and oxaliplatin significantly inhibited phosphorylation of STAT6 during differentiation and maturation. Treatment did not affect the phenotype or viability of the cells. As STAT6 is an important regulator of DC function, these findings suggest a role for platinum-based chemotherapeutics to enhance DC function via inhibition of STAT signaling, thereby potentially enhancing efficacy of DC-based immunotherapies.

Abstract
Interleukin(IL)-4 is produced by T cells and other leukocytes and is a critical mediator of monocyte and B cell responses. During routine flow cytometry panel validation for the investigation of intracellular cytokines, we observed unique IL-4 expression patterns associated with the widely available monoclonal antibody 8D4-8. Namely, IL-4 (8D4-8) expression was observed in the absence of cellular activation and enhanced following staurosporine exposure. Mass spectrometry analysis of immunoprecipitates from peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) revealed that 8D4-8 cross-reacts with the ubiquitous cytoskeletal protein myosin-9. We confirmed these results by western blotting immunoprecipitates, using immunofluorescence among staurosporine-treated Caco-2 cells, and by surface-labeling PBL for 8D4-8 and myosin-9 and analyzing by flow cytometry. Although previously reported from several independent groups, we found no evidence to support the hypothesis that IL-4 is produced by apoptotic cells. Rather, this appears to have been myosin-9. Our data indicate clone 8D4-8 should not be used in the flow cytometric study of IL-4. Furthermore, our work calls for a reevaluation of previous flow cytometric studies that have used this clone for IL-4 analysis and highlights the importance of validation in antibody-based assays.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) are professional antigen presenting cells, uniquely able to induce naïve T cell activation and effector differentiation. They are, likewise, involved in the induction and maintenance of immune tolerance in homeostatic conditions. Their phenotypic and functional heterogeneity points to their great plasticity and ability to modulate, according to their microenvironment, the acquired immune response and, at the same time, makes their precise classification complex and frequently subject to reviews and improvement. This review will present general aspects of the DC physiology and classification and will address their potential and actual uses in the management of human disease, more specifically cancer, as therapeutic and monitoring tools. New combination treatments with the participation of DC will be also discussed.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant hyper IgE syndrome (AD-HIES), or Job's syndrome, is a primary immune deficiency caused by dominant-negative mutations in STAT3. Recurrent Staphylococcus aureus skin abscesses are a defining feature of this syndrome. A widely held hypothesis that defects in peripheral Th17 differentiation confer this susceptibility has never been directly evaluated. To assess the cutaneous immune response in AD-HIES, we induced suction blisters in healthy volunteers (HVs) and patients with AD-HIES and then challenged the wound with lethally irradiated bacteria. We show that cutaneous production of IL-17A and IL-17F was normal in patients with AD-HIES. Overproduction of TNF-α differentiated the responses in AD-HIES from HVs. This was associated with reduced IL-10 family signaling in blister-infiltrating cells and defective epithelial cell function. Mouse models of AD-HIES recapitulated these aberrant epithelial responses to S. aureus and involved defective epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) rather than a failure of bacterial killing. Defective responses in mouse models of AD-HIES and primary keratinocyte cultures from patients with AD-HIES could be reversed by TNF-α blockade and by drugs with reported modulatory effects on EMT. Our results identify these as potential therapeutic approaches in patients with AD-HIES suffering S. aureus infections.

Abstract
Myeloid immune cells, such as dendritic cells, monocytes, and macrophages, play a central role in the generation of immune responses and thus are often either disabled or even hijacked by tumors. These new tolerogenic activities of tumor-associated myeloid cells are controlled by an oncogenic transcription factor, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). STAT3 multitasks to ensure tumors escape immune detection by impairing antigen presentation and reducing production of immunostimulatory molecules while augmenting the release of tolerogenic mediators, thereby reducing innate and adaptive antitumor immunity. Tumor-associated myeloid cells and STAT3 signaling in this compartment are now commonly recognized as an attractive cellular target for improving efficacy of standard therapies and immunotherapies. Hereby, we review the importance and functional complexity of STAT3 signaling in this immune cell compartment as well as potential strategies for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a key regulator of numerous physiological functions, including the immune response. As pathogens elicit an acute phase response with concerted activation of STAT3, they are confronted with two evolutionary options: either curtail it or employ it. This has important consequences for the host, since abnormal STAT3 function is associated with cancer development and other diseases. This review provides a comprehensive outline of how human viruses cope with STAT3-mediated inflammation and how this affects the host. Finally, we discuss STAT3 as a potential target for antiviral therapy.

Abstract
The critical functions of dendritic cells (DCs) in immunity and tolerance have been demonstrated in many animal models but their non-redundant roles in humans are more difficult to probe. Human primary immunodeficiency (PID), resulting from single gene mutations, may result in DC deficiency or dysfunction. This relatively recent recognition illuminates the in vivo role of human DCs and the pathophysiology of the associated clinical syndromes. In this review, the development and function of DCs as established in murine models and human in vitro systems, discussed. This forms the basis of predicting the effects of DC deficiency in vivo and understanding the consequences of specific mutations on DC development and function. DC deficiency syndromes are associated with heterozygous GATA2 mutation, bi-allelic and heterozygous IRF8 mutation and heterozygous IKZF1 mutation. The intricate involvement of DCs in the balance between immunity and tolerance is leading to increased recognition of their involvement in a number of other immunodeficiencies and autoimmune conditions. Owing to the precise control of transcription factor gene expression by super-enhancer elements, phenotypic anomalies are relatively commonly caused by heterozygous mutations.

Abstract
Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a transcription factor that is activated downstream of many key cytokine receptors expressed by lymphocytes. As such, it plays a critical role in regulating B cells as well as CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Patients with clinically significant immunodeficiency and immune dysregulation resulting from loss-of-function or gain-of-function mutations in STAT3 have been described. These individuals provide insight into the critical role of this transcription factor in the regulation of immune responses and the balance between effective immune protection and autoimmunity.

Abstract
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play an indispensable role in the progression of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Although Tregs could normalize costimulation in in vivo and in vitro models, it is obscure whether and how Tregs mediate these effects in PBC. Herein we focused on the quantitative and functional characteristics of Tregs in PBC. The number and proportion of Tregs, and the production of interleukin (IL)-10 were all significantly less in the PBC patients than in the healthy controls (HCs). In addition, compared to the HCs, the costimulatory CD86 of the circulation and liver were significantly higher in the patients with PBC. CD86 expression on CD1c+ cells negatively correlated with the proportion of Tregs. There was also a positive correlation between mayo risk score and the ratio of CD86/Treg. In vitro experiments showed that inhibition of CD86 expression on CD1c+ cells by Tregs was significantly weakened in the PBC patients. Furthermore, the autoantibodies from the PBC patients could promote CD86 expression on CD1c+ cells and transforming growth factor-β production by human hepatic stellate cells. Overall, Tregs declined in inhibition on co-stimulation expression in the presence of autoantibodies, which could be associated to PBC-related bile duct injury and fibrosis. This indicated that maintenance of balance of co-stimulation and Tregs could be beneficial for PBC.

Abstract
Hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES) is a very rare primary immune deficiency characterized by elevated serum IgE levels, recurrent bacterial infections, chronic dermatitis, and connective tissue abnormalities. Autosomal dominant (AD) HIES involves a mutation in signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) that leads to an impaired TH17 response. STAT3 signaling is also involved in the function of RORγt+ type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) and RORγt+TH17 cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of innate immune cells such as innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), granulocytes, and monocytes in a patient with HIES. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a patient with HIES and three age-matched healthy controls were obtained for the analysis of the innate and adaptive immune cells. The frequencies of ILCs in PBMCs were lower in the patient with HIES than in the controls. Moreover, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL-17A produced by ILC3s in PBMCs were lower in the patient with HIES than the controls. Compared with the controls, classical monocytes (CD14+CD16low), which have a high antimicrobial capability, were also lower in the patient with HIES, while non-classical monocytes (CD14lowCD16+) as well as intermediate monocytes (CD14+CD16intermediate) were higher. Taken together, these results indicate that the impaired immune defense against pathogenic microbes in the patient with HIES might be partially explained by functional defects in ILC3s and inflammatory monocytes.

Abstract
Cytokines are mediating immune cells responses through the activation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Being critical for immune cells, a defective JAK/STAT signaling leads to various immune disorders, such as immunodeficiency. In contrast, hyperactivation of JAK/STAT signaling is linked to autoimmunity and cancer. Targeting the JAK/STAT proteins by small protein inhibitors impedes immune cell function by uncoupling cells from cytokine effects and by interfering with functional immune cell hallmarks, such as cell migration. This review will explore immune syndromes driven by JAK/STAT deregulation and discuss the emerging role of JAK inhibitors as immunosuppressive drugs used in autoimmunity and transplantation medicine.

Abstract
Purpose of review Dendritic cells are specialized antigen-presenting cells which link innate and adaptive immunity, through recognition and presentation of antigen to T cells. Although the importance of dendritic cells has been demonstrated in many animal models, their contribution to human immunity remains relatively unexplored in vivo. Given their central role in infection, autoimmunity, and malignancy, dendritic cell deficiency or dysfunction would be expected to have clinical consequences. Recent findings Human dendritic cell deficiency disorders, related to GATA binding protein 2 (GATA2) and interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) mutations, have highlighted the importance of dendritic cells and monocytes in primary immunodeficiency diseases and begun to shed light on their nonredundant roles in host defense and immune regulation in vivo. The contribution of dendritic cell and monocyte dysfunction to the pathogenesis of primary immunodeficiency disease phenotypes is becoming increasingly apparent. However, dendritic cell analysis is not yet a routine part of primary immunodeficiency disease workup. Summary Widespread uptake of dendritic cell/monocyte screening in clinical practice will facilitate the discovery of novel dendritic cell and monocyte disorders as well as advancing our understanding of human dendritic cell biology in health and disease.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are key regulators of protective immune responses and tolerance to (self-)Ags. Therefore, the scientific rationale for the use of tolerogenic DC therapy in the fields of allergies, autoimmunity, and transplantation medicine is strong. In this study, we analyzed the tolerogenic capacity of IL-10-modulated DC (IL-10DC) subpopulations to identify a DC subset that combines potent immunosuppressive activities with valuable immune properties for clinical implementation. IL-10DCs consist of two phenotypically distinct subpopulations: CD83highCCR7+ IL-10DCs and CD83lowCCR7- IL-10DCs. Suppressor assays with activated effector T cells revealed that CD4+ regulatory T cells generated by CD83high IL-10DCs (iTreg+) exhibited a significantly higher suppressive capacity compared with CD4+ regulatory T cells generated by CD83low IL-10DCs (iTreg-). In this context, iTreg+ displayed a more activated phenotype (proliferation, cytokine production) compared with iTreg- In contrast to CD83low IL-10DCs, CD83high IL-10DCs exerted a strong migratory capacity toward the secondary lymphoid organ chemokine CCL21 and retained a functionally stable phenotype under inflammatory conditions. In addition, CD83high IL-10DCs expressed significantly higher levels of surface and soluble CD25. Functional analysis demonstrated that IL-10DC-related soluble CD25 efficiently inhibited the proliferation of activated T cells and that blockade of CD25 function abolished the induction of regulatory T cells by IL-10DCs, indicating a critical role for IL-10DC-related CD25 in shifting the immune response toward an iTreg- controlled tolerance reaction. In conclusion, the selective use of the CD83high IL-10DC subset may result in a higher efficacy of tolerance induction in vivo and may support the development of novel DC vaccination strategies for transplantations, as well as for allergic and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Candida infections can cause superficial and invasive disease. Several essential mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of these infections were known for some time, such as neutropenia predisposing to invasive disease, and CD4 lymphopenia causing increased susceptibility to mucosal candidiasis. However, the development of novel genetic screening techniques has led to several new insights in the genetics and immunology of candida infections. This article highlights novel insights in the pathogenesis of mucocutaneous and invasive candidiasis that have been identified in recent years.

Abstract
The transcriptional regulator STAT3 has key roles in vertebrate development and mature tissue function including control of inflammation and immunity. Mutations in human STAT3 associate with diseases such as immunodeficiency, autoimmunity and cancer. Strikingly, however, either hyperactivation or inactivation of STAT3 results in human disease, indicating tightly regulated STAT3 function is central to health. Here, we attempt to summarize information on the numerous and distinct biological actions of STAT3, and highlight recent discoveries, with a specific focus on STAT3 function in the immune and hematopoietic systems. Our goal is to spur investigation on mechanisms by which aberrant STAT3 function drives human disease and novel approaches that might be used to modulate disease outcome.

Abstract
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and spectrum disorder (NMO/SD) represent a vexing process and its clinical variants appear to have at their pathogenic core the loss of immune tolerance to the aquaporin-4 water channel protein. This process results in a characteristic pattern of astrocyte dysfunction, loss, and demyelination that predominantly affects the spinal cord and optic nerves. Although several empirical therapies are currently used in the treatment of NMO/SD, none has been proven effective in prospective, adequately powered, randomized trials. Furthermore, most of the current therapies subject patients to long-term immunologic suppression that can cause serious infections and development of cancers. The following is the first of a 2-part description of several key immune mechanisms in NMO/SD that might be amenable to therapeutic restoration of immune tolerance. It is intended to provide a roadmap for how potential immune tolerance restorative techniques might be applied to patients with NMO/SD. This initial installment provides a background rationale underlying attempts at immune tolerization. It provides specific examples of innovative approaches that have emerged recently as a consequence of technical advances. In several autoimmune diseases, these strategies have been reduced to practice. Therefore, in theory, the identification of aquaporin-4 as the dominant autoantigen makes NMO/SD an ideal candidate for the development of tolerizing therapies or cures for this increasingly recognized disease.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are highly specialized professional antigen-presenting cells that regulate immune responses, maintaining the balance between tolerance and immunity. Mechanisms via which they can promote central and peripheral tolerance include clonal deletion, the inhibition of memory T cell responses, T cell anergy, and induction of regulatory T cells (Tregs). These properties have led to the analysis of human tolerogenic DCs as a therapeutic strategy for the induction or re-establishment of tolerance. In recent years, numerous protocols for the generation of human tolerogenic DCs have been developed and their tolerogenic mechanisms, including induction of Tregs, are relatively well understood. Phase I trials have been conducted in autoimmune disease, with results that emphasize the feasibility and safety of treatments with tolerogenic DCs. Therefore, the scientific rationale for the use of tolerogenic DCs therapy in the fields of transplantation medicine and allergic and autoimmune diseases is strong. This review will give an overview on efforts and protocols to generate human tolerogenic DCs with focus on IL-10-modulated DCs as inducers of Tregs and discuss their clinical applications and challenges faced in further developing this form of immunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant hyper-IgE syndrome (AD-HIES) is a primary immunodeficiency mainly caused by mutations in STAT3, a signalling molecule implicated in the development of appropriate immune responses. We aimed to characterise the innate immune response in AD-HIES. METHODS The frequency of innate immune cells in peripheral blood (PB) from seven AD-HIES patients and healthy controls were determined. CD80/CD86 surface expression and cytokine levels in supernatants from PBMC after stimulation with TLR-2, -4 and -9 agonists were also measured by flow cytometry. In addition, several SNPs within these TLR genes in genomic DNA samples from patients and controls were examined. RESULTS A significantly reduced number of PB iNKT cells was observed in the AD-HIES group. CpG-stimulated pDC and mDC from patients exhibited a lower increase in the expression of the costimulatory molecule CD80. We also observed an increase in the secretion of IL-12p70, TNF-alpha and IL-10 in PBMC from HIES patients after LTA or LPS stimuli. No association was found between the different SNPs detected and the HIES phenotype. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate that important mediators of the innate immunity responses are affected in AD-HIES. More studies are necessary to investigate how the STAT3 function interferes with development of iNKT cells and TLR-mediated responses.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES) is a severe primary immunodeficiency, characterized by increased serum IgE levels as well as recurrent infections and atopic dermatitis (AD)-like skin lesions. AD is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with immunologic alterations (Th2-Th22 polarization) and characteristic skin barrier dysfunctions. Our aim was to investigate physicochemical skin barrier alterations and allergic sensitization in STAT3-HIES patients in order to explore whether skin barrier dysfunction can play a role in the eczematoid skin lesions in these patients. METHODS In our experiments STAT3 and FLG mutation analyses were performed in STAT3-HIES (n = 7) and AD (n = 49) patients. Laboratory parameters (LDH and Eos counts), immunologic alterations (Th17 cell counts), allergic sensitization (total and specific IgE levels, skin prick tests, and medical history records), skin barrier changes [transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin pH], serum and stratum corneum thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) levels were also examined. RESULTS Impaired Th17 cell numbers, but normal physicochemical barrier functions, as well as serum and stratum corneum TSLP levels, were found in STAT3-HIES, while these parameters were significantly altered in AD patients. Allergic sensitization was detected in nearly all AD patients, while no signs of sensitization occurred in STAT3-HIES. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that the skin barrier functions of STAT3-HIES patients are not damaged and they differ significantly from the altered skin barrier functions of AD patients. A well-functioning physicochemical skin barrier may be one of the explanations on the contradiction between the extremely high total IgE levels and the lack of allergic sensitization in these patients. Our study underlines the importance of skin barrier in the development of allergic sensitization.

Abstract
Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) play essential roles in maintaining the immune balance. Although the majority of Tregs are formed in the thymus, increasing evidence suggests that induced Tregs (iTregs) may be generated in the periphery from naive cells. However, unlike in the murine system, significant controversy exists regarding the suppressive capacity of these iTregs in humans, especially those generated in vitro in the presence of TGF-β. Although it is well known that IL-10 is an important mediator of Treg suppression, the action of IL-10 on Tregs themselves is less well characterized. In this article, we show that the presence of IL-10, in addition to TGF-β, leads to increased expansion of Foxp3(+) iTregs with enhanced CTLA-4 expression and suppressive capability, comparable to that of natural Tregs. This process is dependent on IL-10R-mediated STAT3 signaling, as supported by the lack of an IL-10 effect in patients with IL-10R deficiency and dominant-negative STAT3 mutation. Additionally, IL-10-induced inhibition of Akt phosphorylation and subsequent preservation of Foxo1 function are critical. These results highlight a previously unrecognized function of IL-10 in human iTreg generation, with potential therapeutic implications for the treatment of immune diseases, such as autoimmunity and allergy.

Abstract
Kreins et al. report the identification and immunological characterization of a group of TYK2-deficient patients. Autosomal recessive, complete TYK2 deficiency was previously described in a patient (P1) with intracellular bacterial and viral infections and features of hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES), including atopic dermatitis, high serum IgE levels, and staphylococcal abscesses. We identified seven other TYK2-deficient patients from five families and four different ethnic groups. These patients were homozygous for one of five null mutations, different from that seen in P1. They displayed mycobacterial and/or viral infections, but no HIES. All eight TYK2-deficient patients displayed impaired but not abolished cellular responses to (a) IL-12 and IFN-α/β, accounting for mycobacterial and viral infections, respectively; (b) IL-23, with normal proportions of circulating IL-17+ T cells, accounting for their apparent lack of mucocutaneous candidiasis; and (c) IL-10, with no overt clinical consequences, including a lack of inflammatory bowel disease. Cellular responses to IL-21, IL-27, IFN-γ, IL-28/29 (IFN-λ), and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) were normal. The leukocytes and fibroblasts of all seven newly identified TYK2-deficient patients, unlike those of P1, responded normally to IL-6, possibly accounting for the lack of HIES in these patients. The expression of exogenous wild-type TYK2 or the silencing of endogenous TYK2 did not rescue IL-6 hyporesponsiveness, suggesting that this phenotype was not a consequence of the TYK2 genotype. The core clinical phenotype of TYK2 deficiency is mycobacterial and/or viral infections, caused by impaired responses to IL-12 and IFN-α/β. Moreover, impaired IL-6 responses and HIES do not appear to be intrinsic features of TYK2 deficiency in humans.

Abstract
The transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a critical regulator of multiple, diverse cellular processes. Heterozgyous, germline, loss-of-function mutations in STAT3 lead to the primary immune deficiency Hyper-IgE syndrome. Heterozygous, somatic, gain-of-function mutations in STAT3 have been reported in malignancy. Recently, germline, heterozygous mutations in STAT3 that confer a gain-of-function have been discovered and result in early-onset, multi-organ autoimmunity. This review summarizes what is known about the role of STAT3 in human disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review provides an overview on recent data regarding pathogenesis, diagnostics and clinical care of hyper-IgE syndromes (HIES). HIES are a group of primary immunodeficiencies with overlapping and distinct features, most frequently caused by deficiency in signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) or dedicator of cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8). RECENT FINDINGS Particular progress has been made in deciphering the relevance of STAT3 and DOCK8 for B-cell, T-cell and natural killer-cell immunity as well as in understanding allergic features. Multisystemic features of STAT3-deficient HIES, for example, recurrent fractures and osteopenia, a high degree of vasculopathy and brain white matter hyperintensities, have been thoroughly characterized. IgG replacement may add to the clinical care in STAT3-deficient HIES. In DOCK8-deficient HIES, the high morbidity and deaths in early age seem to justify allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. New HIES entities have also been reported. SUMMARY The recent advances expand our understanding of HIES, and improve the diagnostics and clinical care. Yet, more research is required to fully elucidate the specific infection susceptibilities and lung complications, particularly in STAT3-deficient HIES. Future studies also need to focus on clinical care and treatment of nonimmunologic features of HIES, as well as on exploring curative treatments.

Abstract
In recent years a number of primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) characterized by elevated Immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels have been uncovered and termed as Hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES). In addition to the elevated levels of IgE, patients with these PIDs display a spectrum of infections by staphylococci and fungi, and in some cases viruses, particularly affecting skin and lungs. Most of these PIDs also have a non-infectious phenotype, comprising musculoskeletal, vascular, and neurological abnormalities. The genetic basis for the majority of conditions with elevated IgE has now been established and includes mutations in STAT3, DOCK8, TYK2, and most recently PGM3 molecules. However, in some patients with the relevant phenotype, mutations in these molecules are not identified, suggesting additional genetic etiologies of HIES not yet discovered. As the immunological and molecular basis of HIES is being unraveled, important insights are emerging that may have implications for our understanding of basic principles of immunology and protective immunity as well as for the pathogenesis and clinical management of patients with these complex and challenging PIDs. In this review, are presented the current knowledge on the clinical presentation, infectious phenotype, and the genetic and immunological pathogenesis of hyper-IgE syndromes as well as some other PIDs with elevated levels of IgE.

Abstract
Pneumonia is initiated by microbes in the lung, but physiological processes integrating responses across diverse cell types and organ systems dictate the outcome of respiratory infection. Resistance, or actions of the host to eradicate living microbes, in the lungs involves a combination of innate and adaptive immune responses triggered by air-space infection. Resilience, or the ability of the host tissues to withstand the physiologically damaging effects of microbial and immune activities, is equally complex, precisely regulated, and determinative. Both immune resistance and tissue resilience are dynamic and change throughout the lifetime, but we are only beginning to understand such remodeling and how it contributes to the incidence of severe pneumonias, which diminishes as childhood progresses and then increases again among the elderly. Here, we review the concepts of resistance, resilience, and remodeling as they apply to pneumonia, highlighting recent advances and current significant knowledge gaps.

Abstract
Breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2), a member of the ATP-binding cassette transporters has been identified as a major determinant of multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells, but ABC transporter inhibition has limited therapeutic value in vivo. In this research, we demonstrated that inhibition of efflux transporters ABCG2 induced the generation of tolerogenic DCs from human peripheral blood myeloid DCs (mDCs). ABCG2 expression was present in mDCs and was further increased by LPS stimulation. Treatment of CD1c+ mDCs with an ABCG2 inhibitor, Ko143, during LPS stimulation caused increased production of IL-10 and decreased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and decreased expression of CD83 and CD86. Moreover, inhibition of ABCG2 in monocyte-derived DCs (MDDCs) abrogated the up-regulation of co-stimulatory molecules and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in these cells in response to LPS. Furthermore, CD1c+ mDCs stimulated with LPS plus Ko143 inhibited the proliferation of allogeneic and superantigen-specific syngenic CD4+ T cells and promoted expansion of CD25+FOXP3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells in an IL-10-dependent fashion. These tolerogenic effects of ABCG2 inhibition could be abolished by ERK inhibition. Thus, we demonstrated that inhibition of ABCG2 in LPS-stimulated mDCs can potently induce tolerogenic potentials in these cells, providing crucial new information that could lead to development of better strategies to combat MDR cancer.

Mogensen TH. STAT3 and the Hyper-IgE syndrome: Clinical presentation, genetic origin, pathogenesis, novel findings and remaining uncertainties. JAKSTAT 2014; 2:e23435. [PMID: 24058807 PMCID: PMC3710320 DOI: 10.4161/jkst.23435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2012] [Revised: 12/27/2012] [Accepted: 12/28/2012] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
During recent years a number of primary immunodeficiencies resulting from impaired function of JAK-STAT molecules have been described. One of these is the Hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES) characterized by elevated IgE levels, eczema, recurrent staphylococcal skin and pulmonary infections and pleiotropic somatic manifestations. In 2007 the genetic basis of HIES was revealed by identification of dominant negative STAT3 mutations in HIES patients. Subsequently impaired function of Tyk2 and DOCK8 have been implicated in milder forms of HIES. Since STAT3 acts as a central transcription factor downstream of multiple cytokine and growth factor receptors and thus regulates antimicrobial responses and cell survival, impaired STAT3 function results in immunodeficiency and in some cases tumorigenesis. However, as the immunological and molecular basis of HIES is being unraveled, important biological and immunological insight into JAK-STAT signaling is emerging that may have implications for our understanding of the pathogenesis and clinical management of patients with HIES.

Formula-feeding is associated with shift towards Th1 cytokines. Eur J Nutr 2014; 54:129-38. [PMID: 24691724 DOI: 10.1007/s00394-014-0693-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2014] [Accepted: 03/20/2014] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Breast-feeding (BF) versus formula-feeding (FF) may be a factor for the development and differentiation of T-cell subsets and cytokine production in infancy and childhood. We therefore investigated T-cell subpopulations and their cytokine production by flow cytometry as well as cytokine levels in serum samples in breast-fed versus formula-fed infants and children. METHODS Heparinised blood was taken from 191 healthy infants and children. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stimulated with phorbol-mystriate-acetate and ionomycin in the presence of brefeldin. T-cell subsets and cytokines were determined by flow cytometry. Furthermore, serum concentrations of IFNγ and IL4 were measured using ELISA. An IFNγ/IL4 ratio was calculated to estimate the Th1/Th2 balance. RESULTS Children who were formula-fed show higher numbers of memory T and T helper cells. After stimulation, the number of IFNγ-positive memory T-cells was increased up to the age of 6 years. Breast-fed infants show higher percentages of IL4-positive T helper cells. At ELISA determination, formula-fed children showed higher IFNγ levels than breast-fed children, while IL4 levels did not differ. The IFNγ/IL4 ratio (FACS and ELISA) was elevated in formula-fed infants and children. CONCLUSION This systematic analysis of cytokine profiles during childhood in dependency of BF allows a better understanding of immune maturation and demonstrates the influence of early feeding on immune function throughout childhood, even after cessation of BF. FF induces a shift towards Th1 cytokines in children. This may have an influence on the development of autoimmune disease in later life.
