Abstract
People with HIV (PWH) have a higher age-adjusted mortality due to chronic immune activation and age-related comorbidities. PWH also have higher rates of clonal hematopoiesis (CH) than age-matched non-HIV cohorts; however, risk factors influencing the development and expansion of CH in PWH remain incompletely explored. We investigated the relationship between CH, immune biomarkers, and HIV-associated risk factors (CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, nadir CD4+ count, opportunistic infections [OIs], and immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome [IRIS]) in a diverse cohort of 197 PWH with median age of 42 years, using a 56-gene panel. Seventy-nine percent had a CD4+ nadir below 200 cells/μL, 58.9% had prior OIs, and 34.5% had a history of IRIS. The prevalence of CH was high (27.4%), even in younger individuals, and CD8+ T cells and nadir CD4+ counts strongly associated with CH after controlling for age. A history of IRIS was associated with CH in a subgroup analysis of patients 35 years of age and older. Inflammatory biomarkers were higher in CH carriers compared with noncarriers, supporting a dysregulated immune state. These findings suggest PWH with low nadir CD4+ and/or inflammatory complications may be at high risk of CH regardless of age and represent a high-risk group that could benefit from risk reduction and potentially targeted immunomodulation.

Abstract
CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD4+ CTLs) are suggested to play a crucial role in inflammatory diseases, including cancer, but their characteristics in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unknown. Here, using the cell surface marker CD11b, we identify CD11b+CD4+ CTLs as a cytotoxic subset of CD4+ T cells in multiple tissues of NSCLC patients. In addition, tumor-infiltrating CD11b+CD4+ CTLs show a dysfunctional phenotype with elevated expression of CD200 receptor (CD200R), a negatively immunomodulatory receptor. CD4+ regulatory T (Treg) cells restrain the anti-tumor role of CD11b+CD4+ CTLs via CD200. Mechanistically, inflammatory dendritic cells promote the CD200R expression of CD11b+CD4+ CTLs by secreting interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Finally, we demonstrate that CD200 blockade can revive the tumor-killing role of CD11b+CD4+ CTLs and prolong the survival of tumor-bearing mice. Taken together, our study identifies CD11b+CD4+ CTLs in NSCLC with decreased cytotoxicity that can be reinvigorated by CD200 blockade, suggesting that targeting CD200 is a promising immunotherapy strategy in NSCLC.

Abstract
In the combination antiretroviral era, there are limited data regarding the pathogenesis of histoplasmosis immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We immunologically characterized 10 cases of histoplasmosis, 4 of whom developed histoplasmosis IRIS. CD4+ T cells in histoplasmosis IRIS demonstrated a significant polyfunctional cytokine response to histoplasma antigen.

Clin Infect Dis 2023; 76:e561-e570. [PMID: 36048425 PMCID: PMC10169423 DOI: 10.1093/cid/ciac717] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND People with HIV and mycobacterial infections can develop immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) after starting antiretroviral therapy (ART). Severe mycobacterial IRIS has an overlapping clinical phenotype with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). We evaluated the pathophysiologic similarities between mycobacterial IRIS and HLH to identify clinical and immune predictors of mycobacterial IRIS severity. METHODS HLH criteria were applied to a longitudinal cohort of 80 patients with HIV (CD4 <100 cells/µL) and mycobacterial infections. Participants were subdivided into IRIS meeting HLH criteria (HLH-IRIS), IRIS without HLH (IRIS), and those without IRIS (non-IRIS). Clinical outcomes were evaluated by regression analyses. Soluble biomarkers and T-cell subsets were assessed at baseline and IRIS-equivalent time points. RESULTS HLH-IRIS patients required corticosteroids more frequently (OR: 21.5; 95%CI: 5.6-114.8) and for longer duration (21.2; 95%CI: 10.7-31.7 weeks) than those not meeting HLH criteria. Utilizing decision tree analyses, hemoglobin <9.2 g/dL was the best predictor of HLH-IRIS before ART, whereas ferritin, CXCL9 and sCD25 were most diagnostic for HLH at IRIS onset. At the IRIS timepoint, but not baseline, HLH-IRIS patients had lower regulatory and higher activated T cells along with greater production of IFNγ-IL-18 axis biomarkers compared with both IRIS and non-IRIS groups. Principal component analysis corroborated the distinct clustering of HLH-IRIS patients. CONCLUSIONS Severe mycobacterial IRIS and HLH have an overlapping pathogenesis involving IFNγ and unopposed T-cell activation causing severe inflammatory disease clinically distinguished by hyperferritinemia (hyperferritinemic IRIS [FIRIS]). Hemoglobin, ferritin, CXCL9, and sCD25 identify high-risk patients and may improve risk stratification and therapeutic strategies for mycobacterial IRIS.

Abstract
Background Tuberculosis-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS) is a frequent complication of cotreatment for TB and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1. We characterized Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-specific CD4 T-cell phenotype and transcription factor profile associated with the development of TB-IRIS. Methods We examined the role of CD4 T-cell transcription factors in a murine model of mycobacterial IRIS. In humans, we used a longitudinal study design to compare the magnitude of antiretroviral therapy, activation, transcription factor profile, and cytotoxic potential of Mtb-specific CD4 T cells between TB-IRIS (n = 25) and appropriate non-IRIS control patients (n = 18) using flow cytometry. Results In the murine model, CD4 T-cell expression of Eomesodermin (Eomes), but not Tbet, was associated with experimentally induced IRIS. In patients, TB-IRIS onset was associated with the expansion of Mtb-specific IFNγ+CD4 T cells (P = .039). Patients with TB-IRIS had higher HLA-DR expression (P = .016), but no differences in the expression of T-bet or Eomes were observed. At TB-IRIS onset, Eomes+Tbet+Mtb-specific IFNγ+CD4+ T cells showed higher expression of granzyme B in patients with TB-IRIS (P = .026). Conclusions Although the murine model of Mycobacterium avium complex-IRIS suggests that Eomes+CD4 T cells underly IRIS, TB-IRIS was not associated with Eomes expression in patients. Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific IFNγ+CD4 T-cell responses in TB-IRIS patients are differentiated, highly activated, and potentially cytotoxic.

Abstract
Immunological mechanisms of susceptibility to nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease are poorly understood. To understand NTM pathogenesis, we evaluated innate and antigen-specific adaptive immune responses to Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) in asymptomatic individuals with a previous history of MAC lung disease (MACDZ). We hypothesized that Mav-specific immune responses are associated with susceptibility to MAC lung disease. We measured MAC-, NTM-, or MAC/Mtb-specific T-cell responses by cytokine production, expression of surface markers, and analysis of global gene expression in 27 MACDZ individuals and 32 healthy controls. We also analyzed global gene expression in Mycobacterium avium-infected and uninfected peripheral blood monocytes from 17 MACDZ and 17 healthy controls. We were unable to detect increased T-cell responses against MAC-specific reagents in MACDZ compared to controls, while the responses to non-mycobacteria derived antigens were preserved. MACDZ individuals had a lower frequency of Th1 and Th1* T-cell populations. In addition, MACDZ subjects had lower transcriptional responses in PBMCs stimulated with a mycobacterial peptide pool (MTB300). By contrast, global gene expression analysis demonstrated upregulation of proinflammatory pathways in uninfected and M. avium-infected monocytes, i.e. a hyperinflammatory in vitro response, derived from MACDZ subjects compared to controls. Together, these data suggest a novel immunologic defect which underlies MAC pathogenesis and includes concurrent innate and adaptive dysregulation which persists years after completion of treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) continues to be prevalent in people living with HIV despite antiretroviral therapy. However, understanding disease mechanisms and identifying therapeutic avenues has been challenging. One of the challenges is that HAND is a heterogeneous disease and that patients identified with similar impairments phenotypically may have very different underlying disease processes. As the NeuroAIDS field is re-evaluating the approaches used to identify patients with HIV-associated neurological impairments, we propose the subtyping of patients into biotypes based on viral and immune pathogenesis. RECENT FINDINGS Here we review the evidence supporting subtyping patients with HIV-associated neurological complications into four biotypes: macrophage-mediated HIV encephalitis, CNS viral escape, T-cell-mediated HIV encephalitis, and HIV protein-associated encephalopathy. SUMMARY Subtyping patients into subgroups based on biotypes has emerged as a useful approach for studying heterogeneous diseases. Understanding biotypes of HIV-associated neurocognitive impairments may therefore enable better understanding of disease mechanisms, allow for the development of prognostic and diagnostic markers, and could ultimately guide therapeutic decisions.

Abstract
The two major subsets of peripheral T cells are classically divided into the CD4+ T helper cells and the cytotoxic CD8+ T cell lineage. However, the appearance of some effector CD4+ T cell populations displaying cytotoxic activity, in particular during viral infections, has been observed, thus breaking the functional dichotomy of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes. The strong association of the appearance of CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD4 CTLs) with viral infections suggests an important role of this subset in antiviral immunity by controlling viral replication and infection. Moreover, CD4 CTLs have been linked with anti-tumor activity and might also cause immunopathology in autoimmune diseases. This raises interest into the molecular mechanisms regulating CD4 CTL differentiation, which are poorly understood in comparison to differentiation pathways of other Th subsets. In this review, we provide a brief overview about key features of CD4 CTLs, including their role in viral infections and cancer immunity, and about the link between CD4 CTLs and immune-mediated diseases. Subsequently, we will discuss the current knowledge about transcriptional and epigenetic networks controlling CD4 CTL differentiation and highlight recent data suggesting a role for histone deacetylases in the generation of CD4 CTLs.

The discontinuation/modification and effectiveness of common regimens were compared among ART-naïve people with advanced HIV infection (CD4 cell count <200 cells/μL). Methods ART-naïve adults with advanced HIV infection initiating bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) or a boosted darunavir (bDRV)-, dolutegravir (DTG)-, or elvitegravir/cobicistat (EVG/c)-based 3-drug regimen between January 1, 2018, and July 31, 2019, in the OPERA cohort were included. The association between regimen and discontinuation or viral suppression (<50 or <200 copies/mL) was assessed using Cox proportional hazards models with inverse probability of treatment weights. Results Overall, 961 PWH were included (416 B/F/TAF, 106 bDRV, 271 DTG, 168 EVG/c); 70% achieved a CD4 cell count ≥200 cells/μL over a 16-month median follow-up. All regimens were associated with a statistically higher likelihood of discontinuation than B/F/TAF (bDRV: adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 2.65; 95% CI, 1.75–4.02; DTG: aHR, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.75–3.35; EVG/c: aHR, 3.52; 95% CI, 2.44–5.07). Compared with B/F/TAF, bDRV initiators were statistically less likely to suppress to <50 copies/mL (aHR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.52–0.99) and <200 copies/mL (aHR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.43–0.70); no statistically significant difference was detected with DTG or EVG/c. Conclusions Among people with advanced HIV infection, those initiating B/F/TAF were less likely to discontinue/modify their regimen than those on any other regimen, and more likely to achieve viral suppression compared with those on bDRV but not compared with those on other integrase inhibitors.

Abstract
Most persons living with HIV (PLWH) experience a significant restoration of their immunity associated with successful inhibition of viral replication after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation. Nevertheless, with the robust quantitative and qualitative restoration of CD4+ T-lymphocytes, a fraction of patients co-infected with tuberculosis develop immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS), a dysregulated inflammatory response that can be associated with significant tissue damage. Several studies underscored the role of adaptive immune cells in IRIS pathogenesis, but to what degree T lymphocyte activation contributes to TB-IRIS development remains largely elusive. Here, we sought to dissect the phenotypic landscape of T lymphocyte activation in PLWH coinfected with TB inititating ART, focusing on characterization of the profiles linked to development of TB-IRIS. We confirmed previous observations demonstrating that TB-IRIS individuals display pronounced CD4+ lymphopenia prior to ART initiation. Additionally, we found an ART-induced increase in T lymphocyte activation, proliferation and cytotoxicity among TB-IRIS patients. Importantly, we demonstrate that TB-IRIS subjects display higher frequencies of cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes which is not affected by ART. Moreover, These patients exhibit higher levels of activated (HLA-DR+) and profilerative (Ki-67+) CD4+ T cells after ART commencenment than their Non-IRIS counterparts. Our network analysis reveal significant negative correlations between Total CD4+ T cells counts and the frequencies of Cytotoxic CD8+ T cells in our study population which could suggest the existance of compensatory mechanisms for Mtb-infected cells elimination in the face of severe CD4+ T cell lymphopenia. We also investigated the correlation between T lymphocyte activation profiles and the abundance of several inflammatory molecules in plasma. We applied unsupervised machine learning techniques to predict and diagnose TB-IRIS before and during ART. Our analyses suggest that CD4+ T cell activation markers are good TB-IRIS predictors, whereas the combination of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells markers are better at diagnosing TB-IRIS patients during IRIS events Overall, our findings contribute to a more refined understanding of immunological mechanisms in TB-IRIS pathogenesis that may assist in new diagnostic tools and more targeted patient management.

Abstract
Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is an inflammatory complication associated with an underlying opportunistic infection that can be observed in HIV-infected individuals shortly after the initiation of antiretroviral therapy, despite successful suppression of HIV viral load and CD4+ T cell recovery. Better understanding of IRIS pathogenesis would allow for targeted prevention and therapeutic approaches. In this study, we sought to evaluate the metabolic perturbations in IRIS across longitudinal time points using an unbiased plasma metabolomics approach as well as integrated analyses to include plasma inflammatory biomarker profile and whole blood transcriptome. We found that many lipid and amino acid metabolites differentiated IRIS from non-IRIS conditions prior to antiretroviral therapy and during the IRIS event, implicating the association between oxidative stress, tryptophan pathway, and lipid mediated signaling and the development of IRIS. Lipid and amino acid metabolic pathways also significantly correlated with inflammatory biomarkers such as IL-12p70 and IL-8 at the IRIS event, indicating the role of cellular metabolism on cell type specific immune activation during the IRIS episode and in turn the impact of immune activation on cellular metabolism. In conclusion, we defined the metabolic profile of IRIS and revealed that perturbations in metabolism may predispose HIV-infected individuals to IRIS development and contribute to the inflammatory manifestations during the IRIS event. Furthermore, our findings expanded our current understanding IRIS pathogenesis and highlighted the significance of lipid and amino acid metabolism in inflammatory complications.

Abstract
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has represented a major advancement in the care of people living with HIV (PLWHH), resulting in significant reductions in morbidity and mortality through immune reconstitution and attenuation of homeostatic disruption. Importantly, restoration of immune function in PLWH with opportunistic infections occasionally leads to an intense and uncontrolled cytokine storm following ART initiation known as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). IRIS occurrence is associated with the severe and rapid clinical deterioration that results in significant morbidity and mortality. Here, we detail the determinants underlying IRIS development in PLWH, compiling the available knowledge in the field to highlight details of the inflammatory responses in IRIS associated with the most commonly reported opportunistic pathogens. This review also highlights gaps in the understanding of IRIS pathogenesis and summarizes therapeutic strategies that have been used for IRIS.

Abstract
Patients with primary immunodeficiencies undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for difficult-to-control infections can experience immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) following engraftment. In 3 patients with post-HCT IRIS related to mycobacterial infection, in vitro data demonstrate the emergence of pathogen-specific immune responses and a concomitant rise in plasma inflammatory markers.

Abstract
Distinguishing disseminated Mycobacterium marinum from multifocal cutaneous disease in persons with human immunodeficiency virus/AIDS can present a diagnostic challenge, especially in the context of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). In this work, we demonstrate the utility of flow cytometry and whole genome sequencing (WGS) to diagnose disseminated M. marinum unmasked by IRIS following initiation of antiretroviral therapy. Flow cytometry demonstrated robust cytokine production by CD4 T cells in response to stimulation with M. marinum lysate. WGS of isolates from distinct lesions was consistent with clonal dissemination, supporting that preexisting disseminated M. marinum disease was uncovered by inflammatory manifestations, consistent with unmasking mycobacterial IRIS.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infection that can affect individuals of all ages. The description of determinants of immunopathogenesis in TB is of tremendous interest due to the perspective of finding a reliable host-directed therapy to reduce disease burden. The association between specific biomarker profiles related to inflammation and the diverse clinical disease presentations in TB has been extensively studied in adults. However, relatively scarce data on profiling the inflammatory responses in pediatric TB are available. Here, we employed the molecular degree of perturbation (MDP) score adapted to plasma biomarkers in two distinct databanks from studies that examined either adults or children presenting with pulmonary or extrapulmonary disease. We used multidimensional statistical analyses to characterize the impact of age on the overall changes in the systemic inflammation profiles in subpopulation of TB patients. Our findings indicate that TB results in significant increases in molecular perturbation, with the highest values being detected in adult patients. Furthermore, there were unique differences in the biomarker perturbation patterns and the overall degree of inflammation according to disease site and age. Importantly, the molecular degree of perturbation was not influenced by sex. Our results revealed that aging is an important determinant of the differences in quality and magnitude of systemic inflammatory perturbation in distinct clinical forms of TB.

BACKGROUND Integrase inhibitors (INI) induce a rapid decline of HIV-RNA in plasma and CD4+ T-cell recovery in blood. Both characteristics are also associated with immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). Whether the use of INI-containing combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) increases the risk of IRIS is being questioned. METHODS Study within the Dutch ATHENA HIV observational cohort. HIV-1 infected late presenters initiating cART after March 2009 were included if they had <200 CD4+ T-cells per μL and were diagnosed with an opportunistic infection. IRIS was defined either according to the criteria by French et al. (IRISFRENCH) or by a clinical IRIS diagnosis of the physician (IRISCLINICAL). The primary outcomes were the association between INI and the occurrence of IRISFRENCH and IRISFRENCH+CLINICAL in multivariable logistic regression. FINDINGS 672 patients with a median CD4+ T-cell count of 35 cells per μL were included. Treatment with INI was independently associated with IRISFRENCH as well as IRISFRENCH+CLINICAL (OR 2·43, 95%CI:1·45-4·07, and OR 2·17, 95%CI:1·45-3·25). When investigating INI separately, raltegravir (RAL) remained significantly associated with IRISFRENCH (OR 4·04 (95%CI:1·99-8·19) as well as IRISFRENCH+CLINICAL (OR 3·07, 95%CI:1·66-5·69), while dolutegravir (DTG) became associated with IRISFRENCH+CLINICAL after it replaced RAL as preferred INI in the cohort after 2015 (OR 4·08, 95%CI:0·99-16·82, p=0·052). Too few patients used elvitegravir to draw meaningful conclusions. Steroid initiation for IRIS was more likely in those who initiated INI versus in those who did not, but no increased hospital (re)admission or mortality rates were observed. INTERPRETATION In HIV late presenters from a resource rich setting, INI based treatment initiation increased the risk of IRIS. This was observed for RAL and DTG when being initiated as preferential INI in the presence of specific AIDS-conditions, indicative of channeling bias. Although we controlled for all relevant measured confounders, we cannot exclude that the observed association is partially explained by residual confounding. INI use was not associated with mortality nor hospitalization. Therefore, our observation is no reason to avoid INI in late presenters.

Abstract
Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a hemolytic disease in which vaso-occlusion is an important pathophysiological mechanism. The treatment is based on hydroxyurea (HU), which decreases leukocyte counts and increases fetal hemoglobin synthesis. Different cell types are thought to contribute to vaso-occlusion. Nevertheless, the role of monocytes subsets remains unclear. We investigated frequencies of monocytes subsets in blood and their response to HU therapy, testing their ability to express pro-inflammatory molecules and tissue factor (TF). We identified major changes in monocyte subsets, with classical monocytes (CD14++CD16−) appearing highly frequent in who were not taking HU, whereas those with patrolling phenotype (CD14dimCD16+) were enriched in individuals undergoing therapy. Additionally, HU decreased the production of TNF-α, IL1-β, IL-6, IL-8 as well as TF by the LPS-activated monocytes. Likewise, frequency of TF-expressing monocytes is increased in patients with previous vaso-occlusion. Moreover, activated monocytes expressing TF produced several pro-inflammatory cytokines simultaneously. Such polyfunctional capacity was dramatically dampened by HU therapy. The frequency of classical monocytes subset was positively correlated with percentage cytokine producing cells upon LPS stimulation. These findings suggest that classical monocytes are the subset responsible for multiple pro-inflammatory cytokine production and possibly drive inflammation and vaso-occlusion in SCA which is damped by HU.

Abstract
Despite anti-retroviral therapy (ART), human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV)-related pulmonary disease continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality for people living with HIV (PLWH). The spectrum of lung diseases has changed from acute opportunistic infections resulting in death to chronic lung diseases for those with access to ART. Chronic immune activation and suppression can result in impairment of innate immunity and progressive loss of T cell and B cell functionality with aberrant cytokine and chemokine responses systemically as well as in the lung. HIV can be detected in the lungs of PLWH and has profound effects on cellular immune functions. In addition, HIV-related lung injury and disease can occur secondary to a number of mechanisms including altered pulmonary and systemic inflammatory pathways, viral persistence in the lung, oxidative stress with additive effects of smoke exposure, microbial translocation, and alterations in the lung and gut microbiome. Although ART has had profound effects on systemic viral suppression in HIV, the impact of ART on lung immunology still needs to be fully elucidated. Understanding of the mechanisms by which HIV-related lung diseases continue to occur is critical to the development of new preventive and therapeutic strategies to improve lung health in PLWH.

Abstract
In almost one in five HIV/tuberculosis (TB) co-infected patients, initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is complicated by TB immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS). Corticosteroids have been suggested for treatment of severe cases, however no therapy is currently licensed for TB-IRIS. Hence, there is a strong need for more specific therapeutics, and therefore, a better understanding of TB-IRIS pathogenesis. Immune reconstitution following ART is a precariously balanced functional restoration of adaptive immunity. In those patients predisposed to disease, an incomplete activation of the innate immune system leads to a hyper-inflammatory response that comprises partially overlapping innate, adaptive and effector arms, eventually leading to clinical symptoms. Interestingly, many of these pathological mechanisms are shared by related inflammatory disorders. We here describe therapeutic strategies that originate from these other disciplines and discuss their potential application in TB-IRIS. These new avenues of interventions range from final-phase treatment of symptoms to early-phase prevention of disease onset. In conclusion, we propose a novel approach for the discovery and development of therapeutics, based on an updated model of TB-IRIS pathogenesis. Further experimental studies validating the causal relationships in the proposed model could greatly contribute to providing a solid immunological basis for future clinical trials on TB-IRIS therapeutics.

Changes in inflammatory protein and lipid mediator profiles persist after antitubercular treatment of pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis: A prospective cohort study. Cytokine 2019; 123:154759.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The identification of meaningful biomarkers of tuberculosis (TB) has potential to improve diagnosis, disease staging and prediction of treatment outcomes. It has been shown that active pulmonary TB (PTB) is associated with qualitative and quantitative changes in systemic immune profile, suggesting a chronic inflammatory imbalance. Here we characterized the profile of PTB and extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) in a prospective cohort study. METHODS We measured a panel of 27 inflammatory cytokines, soluble receptors, and lipid mediators in peripheral blood from patients with PTB or EPTB from a prospective clinical study in China. Multidimensional analyses were performed to describe associations between plasma levels of biomarkers and different TB disease presentation profiles. RESULTS Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection induced changes in both the expression and correlation profiles of plasma mediators of inflammation in patients with PTB compared to those with EPTB. Increases in mycobacterial loads in sputum smears were associated with rises in concentrations of several molecules involved in TB pathogenesis, such as IL-1β, IFN-α, IL-10 and PGF2α. Moreover, PTB patients presenting with severe disease exhibited a distinct inflammatory profile hallmarked by heightened levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL17, IL-18 and IL-27. Interestingly, while antitubercular treatment (ATT) resulted in early changes of plasma concentrations of markers in PTB, changes were delayed in EPTB patients. Exploratory analyses of the molecular degree of perturbation (MDP) of the inflammatory mediators before and during ATT suggested the occurrence of infection and/or treatment-induced long lasting "inflammatory imprinting" of biomarker profiles in TB. At 24 weeks post ATT commencement, markers underlying the observed increases in MDP scores were IL-27 in PTB and IL-1β in EPTB patients. CONCLUSION Our findings describe systemic and durable changes in the concentrations of inflammatory cytokines and lipid mediators in both PTB and EPTB and emphasize the role of M. tuberculosis bacterial burden and site of disease in modulating patient immune biomarkers.

Abstract
Off-target toxicity due to the expression of target antigens in normal tissue or TCR cross-reactivity represents a major risk when using T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T cells for treatment of solid tumours. Due to the inherent cross-reactivity of TCRs it is difficult to accurately predict their target recognition pre-clinically. It has become evident that direct testing in a human being represents the best evaluation of the risks. There is, therefore, a clear unmet need for assessing the safety of a therapeutic TCR in a more controllable manner than by the injection of permanently modified cellular products. Using transiently modified T cells combined with dose escalation has already been shown feasible for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T cells, but nothing is yet reported for TCR. We performed a preclinical evaluation of a therapeutic TCR transiently expressed in T cells by mRNA electroporation. We analyzed if the construct was active in vitro, how long it was detectable for and if this expression format was adapted to in vivo efficacy assessment. Our data demonstrate the potential of mRNA engineered T cells, although less powerful than permanent redirection, to induce a significant response. Thus, these findings support the development of mRNA based TCR-therapy strategies as a feasible and efficacious method for evaluating TCR safety and efficacy in first-in-man testing.

Abstract
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous environmental organisms that may cause opportunistic infections in susceptible hosts. Lung infections in immunocompetent persons with structural lung disease are most common, while disseminated disease occurs primarily in immunocompromised individuals. Human disease caused by certain species, such as Mycobacterium avium complex, Mycobacterium abscessus, and Mycobacterium kansasii, is increasing in incidence and varies by geographic distribution. The spectrum of NTM disease varies widely in presentation and clinical outcome, but certain patterns can be organized into clinical phenotypes. Treatment options are limited, lengthy, and often toxic. The purpose of this case-based review is to provide non-clinician scientists with a better understanding of human NTM disease with an aim to stimulate more research and development.
