T cell-specific constitutive active SHP2 enhances T cell memory formation and reduces T cell activation. Front Immunol 2022; 13:958616.

Abstract
Upon antigen recognition by the T cell receptor (TCR), a complex signaling network orchestrated by protein-tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) regulates the transmission of the extracellular signal to the nucleus. The role of the PTPs Src-homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing phosphatase 1 (SHP1, Ptpn6) and Src-homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2, Ptpn11) have been studied in various cell types including T cells. Whereas SHP1 acts as an essential negative regulator of the proximal steps in T cell signalling, the role of SHP2 in T cell activation is still a matter of debate. Here, we analyzed the role of the constitutively active SHP2-D61Y-mutant in T cell activation using knock-in mice expressing the mutant form Ptpn11D61Y in T cells. We observed reduced numbers of CD8+ and increased numbers of CD4+ T cells in the bone marrow and spleen of young and aged SHP2-D61Y-mutant mice as well as in Influenza A Virus (IAV)-infected mice compared to controls. In addition, we found elevated frequencies of effector memory CD8+ T cells and an upregulation of the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)-receptor on both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Functional analysis of SHP2-D61Y-mutated T cells revealed an induction of late apoptosis/necrosis, a reduced proliferation and altered signaling upon TCR stimulation. However, the ability of D61Y-mutant mice to clear viral infection was not affected. In conclusion, our data indicate an important regulatory role of SHP2 in T cell function, where the effect is determined by the kinetics of SHP2 phosphatase activity and differs in the presence of the permanently active and the temporally regulated phosphatase. Due to interaction of SHP2 with the PD-1-receptor targeting the protein-tyrosine phosphatase might be a valuable tool to enhance T cell activities in immunotherapy.

Abstract
Immunomodulation strategies are crucial for several biomedical applications. However, the immune system is highly heterogeneous and its functional responses to infections remains elusive. Indeed, the characterization of immune response particularities to different pathogens is needed to identify immunomodulatory candidates. To address this issue, we compiled a comprehensive map of functional immune cell states of mouse in response to 12 pathogens. To create this atlas, we developed a single-cell-based computational method that partitions heterogeneous cell types into functionally distinct states and simultaneously identifies modules of functionally relevant genes characterizing them. We identified 295 functional states using 114 datasets of six immune cell types, creating a Catalogus Immune Muris. As a result, we found common as well as pathogen-specific functional states and experimentally characterized the function of an unknown macrophage cell state that modulates the response to Salmonella Typhimurium infection. Thus, we expect our Catalogus Immune Muris to be an important resource for studies aiming at discovering new immunomodulatory candidates.

Small Molecule Cyclotriazadisulfonamide Abrogates the Upregulation of the Human Receptors CD4 and 4-1BB and Suppresses In Vitro Activation and Proliferation of T Lymphocytes. Front Immunol 2021; 12:650731.

Abstract
The small molecule cyclotriazadisulfonamide (CADA) down-modulates the human CD4 receptor, an important factor in T cell activation. Here, we addressed the immunosuppressive potential of CADA using different activation models. CADA inhibited lymphocyte proliferation with low cellular toxicity in a mixed lymphocyte reaction, and when human PBMCs were stimulated with CD3/CD28 beads, phytohemagglutinin or anti-CD3 antibodies. The immunosuppressive effect of CADA involved both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells but was, surprisingly, most prominent in the CD8+ T cell subpopulation where it inhibited cell-mediated lympholysis. Immunosuppression by CADA was characterized by suppressed secretion of various cytokines, and reduced CD25, phosphoSTAT5 and CTPS-1 levels. We discovered a direct down-modulatory effect of CADA on 4-1BB (CD137) expression, a survival factor for activated CD8+ T cells. More specifically, CADA blocked 4‑1BB protein biosynthesis by inhibition of its co-translational translocation into the ER in a signal peptide-dependent way. Taken together, this study demonstrates that CADA, as potent down-modulator of human CD4 and 4‑1BB receptor, has promising immunomodulatory characteristics. This would open up new avenues toward chemotherapeutics that act as selective protein down-modulators to treat various human immunological disorders.

Abstract
Alloimmune responses in acute rejection are complex, involving multiple interacting cell types and pathways. Deep profiling of these cell types has been limited by technology that lacks the capacity to resolve this high dimensionality. Single-cell mass cytometry is used to characterize the alloimmune response in early acute rejection, measuring 37 parameters simultaneously, across multiple time points in two models: a murine cardiac and vascularized composite allotransplant (VCA). Semi-supervised hierarchical clustering is used to group related cell types defined by combinatorial expression of surface and intracellular proteins, along with markers of effector function and activation. This expression profile is mapped to visualize changes in antigen composition across cell types, revealing phenotypic signatures in alloimmune T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and myeloid subsets that are conserved and that firmly distinguish rejecting from non-rejecting grafts. These data provide a comprehensive, high-dimensional profile of cellular rejection after allograft transplantation.

Abstract
It is now appreciated that a group of lymphoid lineage cells, collectively called innate-like effector lymphocytes, have evolved to integrate information relayed by the innate sensory immune system about the state of the local tissue environment and to pass on this context to downstream effector innate and adaptive immune responses. Thereby, innate functions engrained into such innate-like lymphoid lineage cells during development can control the quality and magnitude of an immune response to a tissue-altering pathogen and facilitate the formation of memory engrams within the immune system. These goals are accomplished by the innate lymphoid cells that lack antigen-specific receptors, γδ T cell receptor (TCR)-expressing T cells, and several αβ TCR-expressing T cell subsets-such as natural killer T cells, mucosal-associated invariant T cells, et cetera. Whilst we briefly consider the commonalities in the origins and functions of these diverse lymphoid subsets to provide context, the primary topic of this review is to discuss how the semi-invariant natural killer T cells got this way in evolution through lineage commitment and onward ontogeny. What emerges from this discourse is the question: Has a "limbic immune system" emerged (screaming quietly in plain sight!) out of what has been dubbed "in-betweeners"?

Abstract
Abstract
Mastitis is аn inflammation оf thе mammary gland, caused by the invasion and duplication оf Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus uberis (S. uberis) аnd Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) аnd а wide variety оf оthеr microorganisms thrоugh teat оr damaged nipple, decreasing potential milk production іn thе affected quarter оf mammary gland. Economic, animal productivity, international trade and animal welfare issues associated with mastitis play an important role in the agricultural industry. Therefore, worldwide dairy cattle breeding programmes are trying to breed cows wіth improved resistance tо mastitis. Mastitis can’t be eliminated but can be reduced to a low level. It can be achieved by breeding strategies, reducing the exposure to pathogen and increasing the resistance to intramammary infection. Numerous therapeutic, prophylactic аnd management techniques аrе uѕеd аѕ control and reduce the mastitis. However, а widely proposed strategy marker assisted selection uѕіng candidate gene approach which іѕ based оn improving thе host genetics. One of them is cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) gene, which is а glycoprotein located оn receptors оf immune cells. CD4 exhibit аn essential role іn a variety of inflammation related conditions іn mаnу species. Therefore, CD4 as a candidate gene for resistance to mastitis has received considerable attention. The review is based on a study of CD4 in association with improving resistance to mastitis and it may be helpful in formulating breeding programmes and marker assisted selection to lower the mastitis.

Abstract
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are a unique subpopulation of immune cells, distinct from classical dendritic cells. pDCs are generated in the bone marrow and following development, they typically home to secondary lymphoid tissues. While peripheral tissues are generally devoid of pDCs during steady state, few tissues, including the lung, kidney, vagina, and in particular ocular tissues harbor resident pDCs. pDCs were originally appreciated for their potential to produce large quantities of type I interferons in viral immunity. Subsequent studies have now unraveled their pivotal role in mediating immune responses, in particular in the induction of tolerance. In this review, we summarize our current knowledge on pDCs in ocular tissues in both mice and humans, in particular in the cornea, limbus, conjunctiva, choroid, retina, and lacrimal gland. Further, we will review our current understanding on the significance of pDCs in ameliorating inflammatory responses during herpes simplex virus keratitis, sterile inflammation, and corneal transplantation. Moreover, we describe their novel and pivotal neuroprotective role, their key function in preserving corneal angiogenic privilege, as well as their potential application as a cell-based therapy for ocular diseases.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) fulfill an essential sentinel function within the immune system, acting at the interface of innate and adaptive immunity. The DC family, both in mouse and man, shows high functional heterogeneity in order to orchestrate immune responses toward the immense variety of pathogens and other immunological threats. In this review, we focus on the Langerin+CD8+ DC subpopulation in the spleen. Langerin+CD8+ DC exhibit a high ability to take up apoptotic/dying cells, and therefore they are essential to prime and shape CD8+ T cell responses. Next to the induction of immunity toward blood-borne pathogens, i.e., viruses, these DC are important for the regulation of tolerance toward cell-associated self-antigens. The ontogeny and differentiation pathways of CD8+CD103+ DC should be further explored to better understand the immunological role of these cells as a prerequisite of their therapeutic application.

Abstract
Type I natural killer T (NKT) cells are innate-like T lymphocytes that recognize glycolipid antigens presented by the MHC class I-like protein CD1d. Agonistic activation of NKT cells leads to rapid pro-inflammatory and immune modulatory cytokine and chemokine responses. This property of NKT cells, in conjunction with their interactions with antigen-presenting cells, controls downstream innate and adaptive immune responses against cancers and infectious diseases, as well as in several inflammatory disorders. NKT cell properties are acquired during development in the thymus and by interactions with the host microbial consortium in the gut, the nature of which can be influenced by NKT cells. This latter property, together with the role of the host microbiota in cancer therapy, necessitates a new perspective. Hence, this review provides an initial approach to understanding NKT cells from an ecological evolutionary developmental biology (eco-evo-devo) perspective.

Abstract
TLR7 recognizes pathogen-derived and self-derived RNA, and thus a regulatory system for control of the TLR7 response is required to avoid excessive activation. Unc93 homolog B1 (Unc93B1) is a regulator of TLR7 that controls the TLR7 response by transporting TLR7 from the endoplasmic reticulum to endolysosomes. We have previously shown that a D34A mutation in Unc93B1 induces hyperactivation of TLR7, and that Unc93b1(D34A/D34A) mice (D34A mice) have systemic inflammation spontaneously. In this study, we examined the roles of inflammatory cytokines such as IFN-γ, IL-17A, and type I IFNs to understand the mechanism underlying the phenotype in D34A mice. mRNAs for IFN-γ and IL-I7A in CD4(+) T cells increased, but inflammatory phenotype manifesting as thrombocytopenia and splenomegaly was still observed in Ifng(-/-) or Il17a(-/-) D34A mice. In contrast to T cell-derived cytokines, Ifnar1(-/-) D34A mice showed an ameliorated phenotype with lower expression of TLR7 in B cells and conventional dendritic cells (cDCs). The amount of TLR7 decreased in B cells from Ifnar1(-/-) D34A mice, but the percentage of TLR7(+) cells decreased among CD8α(-) cDCs. In conclusion, type I IFNs maintain expression of TLR7 in B cells and cDCs in different ways; total amount of TLR7 is kept in B cells and TLR7(+) population is retained among cDCs. Our results suggested that these TLR7-expressing cells are activated initially and influence TLR7-dependent systemic inflammation.

Abstract
Immunotherapy aiming at enhancing innate and acquired host immunity is a promising approach for cancer treatment. The invariant NKT (iNKT) cell ligand α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer) holds great promise in cancer therapy, although several concerns limit its use in clinics, including the uncontrolled response it promotes when delivered in a nonvectorized form. Therefore, development of delivery systems to in vivo target immune cells might be a valuable option to optimize iNKT cell-based antitumor responses. Using dendritic cell (DC)-depleted mice, DC transfer experiments, and in vivo active cell targeting, we show that presentation of α-GalCer by DCs not only triggers optimal primary iNKT cell stimulation, but also maintains secondary iNKT cell activation after challenge. Furthermore, targeted delivery of α-GalCer to CD8α(+) DCs, by means of anti-DEC205 decorated nanoparticles, enhances iNKT cell-based transactivation of NK cells, DCs, and γδ T cells. We report that codelivery of α-GalCer and protein Ag to CD8α(+) DCs triggers optimal Ag-specific Ab and cytotoxic CD8(+) T cell responses. Finally, we show that targeting nanoparticles containing α-GalCer and Ag to CD8α(+) DCs promotes potent antitumor responses, both in prophylactic and in therapeutic settings. Our data may have important implications in tumor immunotherapy and vaccine development.

Abstract
Dendritic cell (DC) subsets in the skin and draining lymph nodes (LNs) are likely to elicit distinct immune response types. In skin and skin-draining LNs, a dermal DC subset expressing macrophage galactose-type C-type lectin 2 (MGL2/CD301b) was found distinct from migratory Langerhans cells (LCs) or CD103+ dermal DCs (dDCs). Lower expression levels of Th1-promoting and/or cross-presentation-related molecules were suggested by the transcriptome analysis and verified by the quantitative real-time PCR analysis in MGL2+ dDCs than in CD103+ dDCs. Transfer of MGL2+ dDCs but not CD103+ dDCs from FITC-sensitized mice induced a Th2-type immune response in vivo in a model of contact hypersensitivity. Targeting MGL2+ dDCs with a rat monoclonal antibody against MGL2 efficiently induced a humoral immune response with Th2-type properties, as determined by the antibody subclass. We propose that the properties of MGL2+ dDCs, are complementary to those of CD103+ dDCs and skew the immune response toward a Th2-type response.

Abstract
CD4+ T (Th) cells are a central component of the adaptive immune response and are divided into distinct sets based on their specific cytokine production pattern. Several reports have suggested that fish possess Th subset activity similar to that of mammals. The aim of the present study was to isolate CD4+ T cells from the blood of Japanese pufferfish, Fugu rubripes, and to characterize their cytokine expression profile. We produced a specific antibody against Fugu CD4 and performed cell sorting with the magnetic activated cell sorting system. Sorted Fugu CD4+ cells were characterized by morphology and expression analysis of cell marker genes. Fugu CD4+ cells expressed T-cell marker genes but not macrophage or B-cell marker genes. In addition, peripheral blood lymphocytes were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), polycytidylic acid (polyI:C), concanavalin A (ConA) prior to sorting, and then Multiplex RT-PCR was used to examine the expression of Th cytokines by the stimulated Fugu CD4+ cells. LPS and polyI:C stimulation upregulated the expression of Th1, Th17 and Treg cytokines and downregulated the expression of Th2 cytokines. ConA stimulation upregulated the expression of all Th cytokines. These results suggest that fish exhibit the same upregulation of Th-specific cytokine expression as in mammals.
