Article Abstract
Double negative (DN) (CD19CD20CD27IgD) B cells are expanded in patients with autoimmune and infectious diseases; however their role in the humoral immune response remains unclear. Using systematic flow cytometric analyses of peripheral blood B cell subsets, we observed an inflated DN B cell population in patients with variety of active inflammatory conditions: myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, meningitis/encephalitis, and rheumatic disorders. Furthermore, we were able to induce DN B cells in healthy subjects following vaccination against influenza and tick borne encephalitis virus. Transcriptome analysis revealed a gene expression profile in DN B cells that clustered with naïve B cells, memory B cells, and plasmablasts. Immunoglobulin VH transcriptome sequencing and analysis of recombinant antibodies revealed clonal expansion of DN B cells that were targeted against the vaccine antigen. Our study suggests that DN B cells are expanded in multiple inflammatory neurologic diseases and represent an inducible B cell population that responds to antigenic stimulation, possibly through an extra-follicular maturation pathway.

Protein intake counteracts alcohol intake in the regulation of postprandial FGF21 secretion in humans.

FGF21 is a hormone secreted from the liver in response to various nutritional stressors, suggested to be acting to balance dietary intake through negative feedback regulation. This meal study aimed to investigate two different potential nutrient interactions on postprandial FGF21 secretion in healthy human participants: 1) between intake of alcohol and protein and 2) between intake of alcohol and vitamin A (retinol). In a 4-arm, randomized, double-blinded, cross-over meal study (NCT06105476), postprandial circulating concentrations of FGF21, glucose, insulin, ethanol, and acetate were compared after intake of four different test drinks containing alcohol, alcohol+protein, alcohol+retinol or retinol in 27 healthy humans.

We focused on a paper titled "Radiation with immunotherapy may be a double-edged sword-how can we learn from recent negative clinical trials?", which was published in recently. Herein, we initially provided three complementary viewpoints from biological perspectives involved in the dynamic alterations of the tumor microenvironment, which may contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the superiority of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
