Abstract

Background/Objectivesdietary supplements intake is known for its importance in preserving immune system and immune response but we need to estimate if there were direct cross-sectional association between some dietary supplements use 24-hours and anti-HAV antibodies or not. Methodsdata merged from three NHANES three cycles along (2013-2018) were analyzed, representing 29.400 participants across all ages. The data collected were subjected to a logistic regression analysis to assess the relationship between the reported frequency of infections and dietary nutrients consumed including minerals and some vitamins. Resultsthe results in overall verified no significant association between investigated dietary supplements use 24-hours and anti-HAV antibodies. However, vitamin D (p = 0.004) showed a significant positive association. Conclusionsthere were true direct association revealed of vitamin D on anti-HAV antibodies.

Common viral infections seed regionally distinct resident memory T cells in the human CNS

T cells persist in the central nervous system (CNS) and can drive both protection and neurological disease. How these cells are organized in humans and what they recognize is largely unknown. Here, we profiled CD8 T cells across anatomically distinct CNS regions, obtained through on-site autopsies and temporal lobe resection surgeries, using single-cell RNA sequencing, paired T cell receptor sequencing, and DNA-barcoded tetramers. Resident memory T cells (TRM) specific for Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, influenza A, and SARS-CoV-2 were identified across CNS compartments. Anatomical location was the strongest correlate of TRM cell state, with leptomeningeal cells adopting a cytokine-poised TRM program, whereas brain TRM cells were transcriptionally restrained. Cells of the same clonotype spanned tissues yet adopted local transcriptional states. Viral specificity added another layer of TRM heterogeneity with GZMK/GZMA-expressing EBV-specific populations and interferon-stimulated gene signatures in SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A-specific cells. The human CNS thus harbors regionally distinct CD8+ TRM shaped by common viral exposures.

A regulatory T cell signature provides a shared molecular basis for the therapeutic window of opportunity in rheumatic disease

Rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA) and osteoarthritis (OA), show distinct phenotypes yet respond to overlapping therapies, implicating shared immune mechanisms. In the Transimmunom cohort, we profiled peripheral blood from 240 individuals (47 healthy, 44 OA, 91 RA, 58 SpA) across deep immunophenotyping, immunoproteomics and Treg-Teff transcriptomics. Single-layer analyses revealed broader Treg than Teff remodeling, along with a shared pattern of reduced activated Tregs and expanded Helios+ Tregs across all diseases, alongside a decrease in functional Treg subpopulations, including CTLA4+ and CD45RA- Tregs. In RA specifically, LAG3+ Tregs were also expanded. Combining omics layers outperformed single-layer approaches for disease classification. Among individual layers, Treg transcriptomes were most discriminative, and integration uncovered disease-specific programs. Unsupervised clustering identified a cross-disease cluster independent of activity, treatment and age, mapping to early disease (<= years) and dominated by a Treg dysfunction-associated program. These results provide a biological rationale for the therapeutic "window of opportunity" concept and duration-stratified Treg-directed trials.

Inhibitory Fc Receptor sets a time limit on macrophage response to IgG

Antibodies engage both activating Fc Receptors and the inhibitory receptor Fc{gamma}RIIB. Why macrophages need a dedicated inhibitory receptor rather than simply tuning activating receptor signaling is unclear. Using DNA-based chimeric receptors and in silico modeling, we independently controlled activating and inhibitory Fc Receptors. We found that Fc{gamma}RIIB imposed a time limit on macrophage phagocytosis and ERK signaling. The time limit is due to activating Fc Receptors converting PI(4,5)P2 to PI(3,4,5)P3, which is subsequently converted to PI(3,4)P2 by Fc{gamma}RIIB. This leads to a pulse of active signaling, which is sufficient for phagocytosis of small bacteria-sized targets but not phagocytosis of large targets and TNF secretion. Unlike engaging Fc{gamma}RIIB, reducing activating Fc Receptor signaling decreased initiation of phagocytosis, the speed of PI(3,4,5)P3 generation, and the amplitude of ERK signaling. Our results demonstrate that Fc{gamma}RIIB controls the duration of IgG signaling, while the activating Fc Receptors control sensitivity.
