Abstract
Suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS) proteins bind to certain cytokine receptors, Janus kinases and signalling molecules to regulate signalling pathways, thus controlling immune and inflammatory responses. Dysregulated expression of various types of SOCS molecules was indicated in multiple types of allergic diseases. SOCS1, SOCS2, SOCS3, SOCS5, and cytokine-inducible SH2 domain protein (CISH) can differentially exert anti-allergic impacts through different mechanisms, such as suppressing Th2 cell development and activation, reducing eosinophilia, decreasing IgE production, repressing production of pro-allergic chemokines, promoting Treg cell differentiation and activation, suppressing Th17 cell differentiation and activation, increasing anti-allergic Th1 responses, inhibiting M2 macrophage polarization, modulating survival and development of mast cells, reducing pro-allergic activity of keratinocytes, and suppressing pulmonary fibrosis. Although some anti-allergic effects were attributed to SOCS3, it can perform pro-allergic impacts through several pathways, such as promoting Th2 cell development and activation, supporting eosinophilia, boosting pro-allergic activity of eosinophils, increasing IgE production, enhancing the expression of the pro-allergic chemokine receptor, reducing Treg cell differentiation, increasing pro-allergic Th9 responses, as well as supporting mucus secretion and collagen deposition. In this review, we discuss the contrasting roles of SOCS proteins in contexts of allergic disorders to provide new insights regarding the pathophysiology of these diseases and possibly explore SOCS proteins as potential therapeutic targets for alleviating allergies.

Abstract
Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by Th2, conventional dendritic cell, and B-cell activation. In addition to excessive inflammation, asthma pathogenesis includes dysregulation of anti-inflammatory pathways, such as the CD200/CD200R pathway. Thus, we investigated whether a CD200R agonist, CD200Fc, could disrupt the inflammatory cascade in chronic allergic asthma pathogenesis using a mice model of experimental asthma. Mice were exposed to house dust mites for 5 wk, and CD200Fc treatment was initiated after chronic inflammation was established (starting on week 4). We demonstrate that chronic house dust mite exposure altered CD200 and CD200R expression on lung immune cell populations, including upregulation of CD200 on alveolar macrophages and reduced expression of CD200 on conventional dendritic cells. CD200Fc treatment does not change bronchoalveolar cellular infiltration, but it attenuates B-cell activation and skews the circulating immunoglobulin profile toward IgG2a. This is accompanied by reduced activation of conventional dendritic cells, including lower expression of CD40, especially on conventional dendritic cell subset 2 CD200R+. Furthermore, we confirm that CD200Fc can directly modulate conventional dendritic cell activation in vitro using bone marrow-derived dendritic cells. Thus, the CD200/CD200R pathway is dysregulated during chronic asthma pathogenesis, and the CD200R agonist modulates B-cell and dendritic cell activation but, in our chronic model, is not sufficient to alter inflammation measured in bronchoalveolar lavage.

Abstract
In addition to malignancies, survivin (a member of the apoptosis inhibitor family) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disorders, including autoimmune and allergic diseases. Survivin is constantly expressed in the proliferating hematopoietic progenitor cells, and it is re-expressed in the mature cells of the innate and adaptive immunity, upon activation. Survivin enhances the expression of co-stimulatory molecules and MHC class II molecules in dendritic cells, and promotes the lifespan of macrophages, neutrophils, and eosinophils, while suppressing natural killer (NK) cell activity. Survivin has been implicated in T cell maturation, T cell expansion, effector CD4+ T cell differentiation, maintenance of memory CD4+ T and CD8+ T cells, as well as antibody production. Upregulated expression of survivin was indicated in the T cells as well as various samples collected from allergic patients. Survivin can contribute to the pathogenesis of allergic diseases via the promotion of the Th2 polarization, promoting IL-4 expression, compromising activation-induced cell death (AICD) in Th2 cells, and preventing apoptosis of eosinophils, as well as, amplification of eosinophilia. Moreover, survivin can interfere with clonal deletion of autoreactive T and B cells, as well as suppress Treg cell development and activity supporting the development of autoimmune diseases. This review discusses the role of survivin in immunity, allergy and autoimmunity as well as provides evidence that survivin may be considered as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of allergic and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Th9- and regulatory T (Treg) cells exert pro- and anti-allergic activity, respectively. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-related immunomodulatory impacts can be enhanced by inflammatory cytokines. Here, the modulatory effects of IFN-γ/TNF-α-induced MSCs on Th9- and Treg cell-related parameters were investigated using an asthma model. METHODS Allergic asthma was induced in BALB/c mice using sensitized and challenging with ovalbumin (OVA). The asthmatic groups were treated intraperitoneally with PBS, MSCs, IFN-γ-induced MSCs, TNF-α-induced MSCs and "IFN-γ + TNF-α"-induced MSCs before the challenge phase. The mice were sacrificed 24 hours after challenge. The serum IL-9 and IL-35 levels, as well as gene expression of IL-9, PU.1, IL-35-EBI3 and FOXP3 in the lung tissues were assessed using ELISA and real time-PCR, respectively. RESULTS The differences of Th9 and Treg-related parameters were not significant between untreated asthmatic mice and those treated with non-induced MSCs. In comparison with untreated asthmatic group, treatment with IFN-γ-induced MSCs significantly reduced serum IL-9 levels, reduced lung expression of IL-9 and PU.1, while increasing serum IL-35 levels as well as lung expression of FOXP3; treatment with TNF-α-induced MSCs significantly reduced serum IL-9 levels as well as lung expression of IL-9, and treatment with "IFN-γ + TNF-α"-induced MSCs significantly modulated all investigated Th9 and Treg-related parameters. In comparison to mice treated with non-induced MSCs, serum IL-9 levels were remarkably decreased in mice treated with IFN-γ-induced and "IFN-γ + TNF-α"-induced MSCs. CONCLUSIONS IFN-γ-and "IFN-γ + TNF-α" treated MSCs exerted almost comparable impacts, but were more efficient than TNF-α-exposed MSCs. Thus, IFN-γ alone can be sufficient to promote immunomodulatory effects of MSCs.

Abstract
Background Allergies are on the rise globally, with an enormous impact on affected individuals’ quality of life as well as health care resources. They cause a wide range of symptoms, from slightly inconvenient to potentially fatal immune reactions. While allergies have been described and classified phenomenologically, there is an unmet need for easily accessible biomarkers to stratify the severity of clinical symptoms. Furthermore, biomarkers marking the success of specific immunotherapy are urgently needed. Objectives Plasma extracellular vesicles (pEV) play a role in coordinating the immune response and may be useful future biomarkers. A pilot study on differences in pEV content was carried out between patients with type I allergy, suffering from rhinoconjunctivitis with or without asthma, and voluntary non-allergic donors. Methods We examined pEV from 38 individuals (22 patients with allergies and 16 controls) for 38 chemokines, cytokines, and soluble factors using high-throughput data mining approaches. Results Patients with allergies had a distinct biomarker pattern, with 7 upregulated (TNF-alpha, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-17F, CCL2, and CCL17) and 3 downregulated immune mediators (IL-11, IL-27, and CCL20) in pEV compared to controls. This reduced set of 10 factors was able to discriminate controls and allergic patients better than the total array. Conclusions The content of pEV showed potential as a target for biomarker research in allergies. Plasma EV, which are readily measurable via blood test, may come to play an important role in allergy diagnosis. In this proof-of-principle study, it could be shown that pEV's discriminate patients with allergies from controls. Further studies investigating whether the content of pEVs may predict the severity of allergic symptoms or even the induction of tolerance to allergens are needed.

IL-27 as a potential biomarker for distinguishing between necrotising enterocolitis and highly suspected early-onset food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome with abdominal gas signs. EBioMedicine 2021; 72:103607. [PMID: 34628355 PMCID: PMC8511805 DOI: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2021.103607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2021] [Revised: 09/11/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The initial clinical manifestations and abdominal imaging findings of neonates with necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) and food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) are sometimes similar; however, their prognosis and therapies are different. We aimed to evaluate the utility of interleukin (IL)-27 as a differentiation marker between NEC and highly suspected early onset (HSEO)-FPIES. Methods All samples used in this study were obtained from the neonatal diagnosis centre of Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. In the case-control study, neonates with NEC (n = 13), HSEO-FPIES (n = 9), and jaundice (control, n = 8) were enroled to determine the serum IL-27 levels using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. In the validation cohort study, the NEC (n = 87), HSEO-FPIES (n = 62), and jaundice (control, n = 54) groups were included to analyse the diagnostic efficiency of IL-27 for discriminating between NEC and HSEO-FPIES using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Findings In the case-control study, IL-27 levels were higher in the NEC group than in the HSEO-FPIES group (p = 0·005). In the cohort study, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of IL-27 for differentiating NEC from HSEO-FPIES was 0·878, which was higher than the AUCs of IL-6 (0·761), C-reactive protein (0·800), white blood cell count (0·637), neutrophils (0·765), lymphocytes (0·782), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (0·781), and platelet count (0·729). Interpretation Serum IL-27 is a novel biomarker that may potentially discriminate NEC from HSEO-FPIES in neonates.

Abstract
Summary
Dendritic cells (DCs) are key in the initiation of the adaptive T cell responses to tailor adequate immunity that corresponds to the type of pathogen encountered. Oppositely, DCs control the resolution phase of inflammation and are able to induce tolerance after receiving anti-inflammatory cytokines or upon encounter of self-associated molecular patterns, such as α2-3 linked sialic acid (α2-3sia).
Objective: We here investigated whether α2-3sia, that bind immune inhibitory Siglec receptors, would alter signaling and reprogramming of LPS-stimulated human monocyte-derived DCs (moDCs).
Methods and Results: Transcriptomic analysis of moDCs stimulated with α2-3sia-conjugated dendrimers revealed differentially expressed genes related to metabolic pathways, cytokines, and T cell differentiation. An increase in genes involved in ATPase regulator activity, oxidoreductase activity, and glycogen metabolic processes was detected. Metabolic extracellular flux analysis confirmed a more energetic moDC phenotype upon α2-3sia binding as evidenced by an increase in both glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. TH1 differentiation promoting genes IFNL and IL27, were significantly downregulated in the presence of α2-3sia. Functional assays confirmed that α2-3sia binding to moDCs induced phosphorylation of Siglec-9, reduced production of inflammatory cytokines IL-12 and IL-6, and increased IL-10. Surprisingly, α2-3sia-differentiated moDCs promoted FoxP3+CD25+/-CD127- regulatory T cell differentiation and decreased FoxP3-CD25-CD127- effector T cell proliferation.
Conclusions: In conclusion, we demonstrate that α2-3sia binding to moDCs, phosphorylates Siglec-9, alters metabolic pathways, cytokine signaling, and T cell differentiation processes in moDCs and promotes regulatory T cells. The sialic acid-Siglec axis on DCs is therefore, a novel target to induce tolerance and to explore for immunotherapeutic interventions aimed to restore inflammatory processes.
