Article Abstract
Sepsis results in elevated adenosine in circulation. Extracellular adenosine triggers immunosuppressive signaling via the A2a receptor (A2aR). Sepsis survivors develop persistent immunosuppression with increased risk of recurrent infections. We utilized the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model of sepsis and subsequent infection to assess the role of adenosine in post-sepsis immune suppression. A2aR-deficient mice showed improved resistance to post-sepsis infections. Sepsis expanded a subset of CD39 B cells and elevated extracellular adenosine, which was absent in mice lacking CD39-expressing B cells. Sepsis-surviving B cell-deficient mice were more resistant to secondary infections. Mechanistically, metabolic reprogramming of septic B cells increased production of ATP, which was converted into adenosine by CD39 on plasmablasts. Adenosine signaling via A2aR impaired macrophage bactericidal activity and enhanced interleukin-10 production. Septic individuals exhibited expanded CD39 plasmablasts and adenosine accumulation. Our study reveals CD39 plasmablasts and adenosine as important drivers of sepsis-induced immunosuppression with relevance in human disease.

B cells display several immunoregulatory mechanisms including the production of interleukin-10. Ectonucleotidases like CD39 and CD73 influence immune homeostasis by metabolizing eATP and generating immunosuppressive adenosine. The major objective was to examine the expression of those immunoregulatory molecules on B-cell subsets, and, more specifically, to determine their association with an infliximab (IFX) treatment in a pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cohort.

Article Synopsis
- Severe sepsis weakens the immune system, making it harder for the body to fight off infections.
- A type of immune cell called plasmablasts, which helps make antibodies, grows too much during sepsis and can make the problem worse.
- Giving citrulline, a type of nutrient, helps fix this by increasing another important substance called arginine, which boosts the immune response and reduces harmful immune cell activity.

The role of microbiota:immune system dysregulation in the etiology of colorectal cancer (CRC) is poorly understood. CRC develops in gut epithelium, accompanied by low level inflammatory signaling, intestinal microbial dysbiosis and immune dysfunction. We examined populations of intraepithelial lymphocytes in non-affected colonic mucosa of CRC and healthy donors and circulating immune memory to commensal bacterial species and yeasts.

Objective: Autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) has the potential to induce sustained periods of disease remission in multiple sclerosis (MS), which is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterised by demyelination and axonal degeneration. However, the mechanisms associated with durable treatment responses in MS require further elucidation.
Methods: To characterise the longer term immune reconstitution effects of AHSCT at 24 and 36 months (M) post-transplant, high-dimensional immunophenotyping of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 22 MS patients was performed using two custom-designed 18-colour flow cytometry panels.
