Abstract
Single-cell transcriptome sequencing (scRNA-seq) has revolutionized our understanding of cellular processes by enabling the analysis of expression profiles at an individual cell level. This technology has shown promise in uncovering new cell types, gene functions, cell differentiation, and trajectory inference through the study of various biological processes, such as hematopoiesis. Recent scRNA-seq analysis of mouse bone marrow cells has provided a network model of hematopoietic lineage. However, all data analyses have predicted undirected network maps for the associated cell trajectories. Moreover, the debate regarding the origin of basophil cells still persists. In this work, we apply the Volatility Constrained (VC) correlation method to predict not only the network structure but also the causality or directionality between the cell types present in the hematopoietic process. Our findings suggest a dual origin of basophils, from both granulocyte/macrophage and erythrocyte progenitors, the latter being a trajectory less explored in previous research. The proposed approach and predictions may assist in developing a complete hematopoietic process map, impacting our understanding of hematopoiesis and providing a robust directional network framework for further biomedical research.

[PMID: 38177247 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-023-02999-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate gestational age-specific hematological features in preterm infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and identify predictive hematological biomarkers for surgical NEC. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study comparing gestational age (GA)-specific clinical data between medical NEC (m-NEC) and surgical NEC (s-NEC) subgroups, stratified by GA as <28 weeks, 28 ≤ GA < 32 weeks, and 32 ≤ GA < 37 weeks. Multivariate logistic analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve were used to identify the independent predictors of s-NEC. RESULTS In comparison to m-NEC at NEC onset, s-NEC infants exhibited the following findings: In GA < 28 weeks, s-NEC infants had lower platelet counts. In 28 ≤ GA < 32 weeks, lower absolute lymphocyte counts, and significant percent drop in platelets, lymphocytes, and monocytes were observed. In 32 ≤ GA < 37 weeks, lower absolute lymphocyte counts and significant percent drop in lymphocytes were found. Independent predictors were able to distinguish s-NEC from m-NEC. The area under the curve (AUC) for platelet counts in GA < 28 weeks was 0.880, while C-reactive protein in 28 ≤ GA < 32 weeks had an AUC of 0.889. The AUC for lymphocyte counts in 32 ≤ GA < 37 weeks was 0.892. CONCLUSION This study identified hematological abnormalities in the development of NEC based on gestational age. Independent predictors may help clinicians distinguish surgical NEC from medical NEC. IMPACT Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) patients with different gestational ages (GA) exhibit different hematological features and independent predictors of surgical NEC differ among different GAs. Our research made the current studies about peripheral hematological features with NEC more complete by analyzing peripheral data collected within 24 h of birth, at day 5-7, day 3-4, day 1-2 before NEC onset, at the time of NEC onset, day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4-5, day 6-7 after NEC onset. Our study is helpful to clinicians in developing a more detailed diagnostic strategy based on GA for the early identification of surgical NEC.

Abstract
In teleost fish, kidney is an important immune and hematopoietic organ with multiple physiological functions. However, the immune cells and cellular markers of kidney require further elucidation in crucian carp (C. auratus). Here we report on the single-cell transcriptional landscape in posterior kidney, immunohistochemical and phagocytic features of C. auratus with R. aquatilis infection. The results showed that a total of 18 cell populations were identified for the main immune cells such as monocytes/macrophages (Mo/Mφ), dendritic cells (DCs), B cells, T cells, granulocytes and hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs). Pseudo-time trajectory analysis was reconstructed for the immune cells using Monocle2 to obtain additional insights into their developmental lineage relationships. In the detected tissues (liver, spleen, kidney, intestine, skin, and gills) of infected fish exhibited positive immunohistochemical staining with prepared for antibody to R. aquatilis. Apoptotic cells were fluorescently demonstrated by TUNEL assay, and bacterial phagocytic activity were observed for neutrophils and Mo/Mφ cells, respectively. Moreover, a similar up-ward/down-ward expression trend of the selected immune and inflammatory genes was found in the kidney against R. aquatilis infection, which were significantly involved in TLR/NLR, ECM adhesion, phago-lysosome, apoptosis, complement and coagulation pathways. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the detailed characterization of immune cells and host-R. aquatilis interaction, which will contribute to understanding on the biology of renal immune cells and repertoire of potential markers in cyprinid fish species.

Abstract
Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is characterized by eosinophilic asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and intolerance to cyclooxygenase-1 inhibitors. Interest is emerging in studying the role of circulating inflammatory cells in CRSwNP pathogenesis and its course, as well as their potential use for a patient-tailored approach. By releasing IL-4, basophils play a crucial role in activating the Th2-mediated response. The main aim of this study was to, first, investigate the level of the pre-operative blood basophils' values, blood basophil/lymphocyte ratio (bBLR) and blood eosinophil-to-basophil ratio (bEBR) as predictors of recurrent polyps after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in AERD patients. The secondary aim was to compare the blood basophil-related variables of the AERD series (study group) with those of a control group of 95 consecutive cases of histologically non-eosinophilic CRSwNP. The AERD group showed a higher recurrence rate than the control group (p < 0.0001). The pre-operative blood basophil count and pre-operative bEBR were higher in AERD patients than in the control group (p = 0.0364 and p = 0.0006, respectively). The results of this study support the hypothesis that polyps removal may contribute to reducing the inflammation and activation of basophils.

IL-31-generating network in atopic dermatitis comprising macrophages, basophils, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, and periostin. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2023; 151:737-746.e6. [PMID: 36410530 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaci.2022.11.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2022] [Revised: 10/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND IL-31 is a type 2 cytokine involved in the itch sensation in atopic dermatitis (AD). The cellular origins of IL-31 are generally considered to be TH2 cells. Macrophages have also been implicated as cellular sources of IL-31. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the expression of IL-31 by macrophages and to elucidate the productive mechanisms and contributions to itch in AD skin lesions. METHODS Expression of IL-31 by macrophages, expressions of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and periostin, and presence of infiltrating basophils in human AD lesions were examined through immunofluorescent staining, and correlations were assessed. Furthermore, mechanisms of inducing IL-31-expressing macrophages were analyzed in an MC903-induced murine model for AD in vivo and in mouse peritoneal macrophages ex vivo. RESULTS A significant population of IL-31+ cells in human AD lesions was that of CD68+ cells expressing CD163, an M2 macrophage marker. The number of IL-31+/CD68+ cells correlated with epidermal TSLP, dermal periostin, and the number of dermal-infiltrating basophils. In the MC903-induced murine AD model, significant scratching behaviors with enhanced expressions of TSLP and periostin were observed, accompanied by massive infiltration of basophils and IL-31+/MOMA-2+/Arg-1+ cells. Blockade of IL-31 signaling with anti-IL-31RA antibody or direct depletion of macrophages by clodronate resulted in attenuation of scratching behaviors. To effectively reduce lesional IL-31+ macrophages and itch, basophil depletion was essential in combination with TSLP- and periostin-signal blocking. Murine peritoneal macrophages produced IL-31 when stimulated with TSLP, periostin, and basophils. CONCLUSIONS A network comprising IL-31-expressing macrophages, TSLP, periostin, and basophils plays a significant role in AD itch.

Abstract
Apoptosis is central for the maintenance of health. In the immune system, apoptosis guarantees proper development of immune cells and shutdown of immune reactions by the coordinated elimination of activated immune cells. Limitation of the life span of granulocytes is important, as overactivation of these cells is associated with chronic inflammation and collateral tissue damage. Consequently, targeted induction of granulocyte apoptosis may be beneficial in the course of respective immune disorders. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as glucocorticoids and monoclonal antibodies against IL-5Rα exert their function in part by triggering eosinophil apoptosis. Agonistic antibodies targeting Siglec-8 or death receptors are tested (pre)clinically. Moreover, a new class of inhibitors targeting antiapoptotic BCL-2 proteins shows great promise for anticancer treatments. Because of their specificity and tolerable side effects, these so-called BH3 mimetics may be worthwhile to evaluate in inflammatory disorders. Here, we review past and recent data on pharmacological apoptosis induction of granulocytes and highlight respective therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Basophils crucially contribute to allergies and other Th2-driven diseases by rapidly releasing inflammatory and immunomodulatory mediators following high-affinity IgE-receptor crosslinking. Although these basophil-mediated responses depend on sensitization with antigen-specific IgE, this does not necessarily predict clinical symptom severity. It is thought that the balance of early stimulatory (e.g. SYK) and inhibitory (e.g. SHIP-1) intracellular signals are associated with basophil responsiveness, which is also critically dependent on calcium mobilization. Previous studies suggest that the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2), which regulates cytosolic calcium levels, may be inversely associated with airway smooth muscle reactivity in asthma. Since basophils are implicated in asthma severity, our aims were to address whether SERCA2 is implicated in human basophil responses, especially following IgE-mediated activation. Human basophils were obtained from buffy coats, following research ethics approval, and further purified by immunomagnetic cell sorting. Expressions of SERCA2, and other isoforms, were determined by Western blotting in parallel to measuring IgE-dependent histamine releases from the same donors. The effects of a SERCA-activator and inhibitor were also assessed on their abilities to modulate basophil histamine release. We observed an inverse correlation between basophil responsiveness to IgE-dependent stimulation and SERCA2 expression. Thapsigargin, a highly-specific SERCA inhibitor, stimulated basophil histamine release and potentiated IgE-dependent secretion of the amine. Conversely, disulfiram, a SERCA activator, inhibited IgE-dependent basophil activation. The results obtained from this exploratory study indicate that SERCA2 may be an additional regulator of basophil reactivity alongside early excitatory or inhibitory signal transduction pathways.

Abstract
Background Bama miniature pigs aged between six (6 M) and twelve months (12 M) are usually used in human medical research as laboratory pigs. However, the difference in serum metabolic profiles from 6 to 12 M-old pigs remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the metabolic and physiological profiles present in the blood to further explain changes in Bama miniature pig growth. We collected blood samples from 6 M-, eight-month- (8 M-), ten-month- (10 M-), and 12 M-old healthy Guangxi Bama miniature pigs. A total of 20 blood physiological indices (BPIs) were measured: seven for white blood cells, eight for red blood cells, and five for platelet indices. Liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry-based non-targeted metabolomic approaches were used to analyze the difference in metabolites. The associations between the differences were calculated using Spearman correlations with Benjamini–Hochberg adjustment. The 100 most abundant differential metabolites were selected for analysis of their metabolic profiles. Results There were no significant differences in BPIs at different ages, but the mid cell ratio and red blood cell number increased with age. Seven BPIs in Bama miniature pigs were closer to human BPIs than to mouse BPIs. A total of 14 and 25 significant differential metabolites were identified in 6 M vs. 12 M and 8 M vs. 12 M, respectively. In total, 9 and 18 amino acids and their derivatives showed significantly lower concentrations in 6 M- and 8 M-old pigs than in 12 M-old pigs. They were identified as the core significantly different metabolites between the age groups 6 M vs. 12 M and 8 M vs. 12 M. Half of the enriched pathways were the amino acids metabolism pathways. The concentration of six amino acids (dl-tryptophan, phenylacetylglycine, muramic acid, N-acetylornithine, l(−)-pipecolinic acid, and creatine) and their derivatives increased with age. A total of 61 of the top 100 most abundant metabolites were annotated. The metabolic profiles contained 14 amino acids and derivatives, six bile acids and derivatives, 19 fatty acids and derivatives, and 22 others. The concentrations of fatty acids and derivatives were found to be inversely proportional to those of amino acids and derivatives. Conclusion These findings suggest high levels of MID cell ratio, red blood count, and amino acids in 12 M-old pigs as indicators for improved body function over time in Bama miniature pigs, similar to those in human development. This makes the pig a more suitable medical model organism than the mouse. The results of this study are limited to the characteristics of blood metabolism in the inbred Bama miniature pigs, and the effects of impacting factors such as breed, age, sex, health status and nutritional level should be considered when studying other pig populations.

Abstract
Basophils play a key role in the orientation of immune responses. Though the interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with various immune cells has been relatively well studied, the response of basophils to this pandemic virus is not characterized yet. In this study, we report that SARS-CoV-2 induces cytokine responses and in particular IL-13, in both resting and IL-3 primed basophils. The response was prominent under IL-3 primed condition. However, either SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-CoV-2-infected epithelial cells did not alter the expression of surface markers associated with the activation of basophils, such as CD69, CD13 and/or degranulation marker CD107a. We also validate that human basophils are not permissive to SARS-CoV-2 replication. Though increased expression of immune checkpoint molecule PD-L1 has been reported on the basophils from COVID-19 patients, we observed that SARS-CoV-2 does not induce PD-L1 on the basophils. Our data suggest that basophil cytokine responses to SARS-CoV-2 might help in reducing the inflammation and also to promote antibody responses to the virus.

Abstract
Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) plays a key role in maintaining immune tolerance and also in immune evasion of cancers and pathogens. Though the identity of stimuli that induce PD-L1 in various human innate cells and their function are relatively well studied, data on the basophils remain scarce. In this study, we have identified one of the factors, such as IFN-γ, that induces PD-L1 expression in human basophils. Interestingly, we found that basophil priming by IL-3 is indispensable for IFN-γ-induced PD-L1 expression in human basophils. However, priming by other cytokines including granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) was dispensable. Analyses of a published microarray data set on IL-3-treated basophils indicated that IL-3 enhances IFNGR2, one of the chains of the IFNGR heterodimer complex, and CD274, thus providing a mechanistic insight into the role of IL-3 priming in IFN-γ-induced PD-L1 expression in human basophils.
