Absolute count of circulating monocytes has been proposed as an independent prognostic factor in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, monocyte nomenclature includes various subsets with pro-, anti-inflammatory, or suppressive functions, and their clinical relevance in DLBCL has been poorly explored. Herein, we broadly assessed circulating monocyte heterogeneity in 91 DLBCL patients. Classical- (cMO, CD14 CD16) and intermediate- (iMO, CD14 CD16) monocytes accumulated in DLBCL peripheral blood and exhibited an inflammatory phenotype. On the opposite, nonclassical monocytes (ncMOSlan, CD14 CD16 Slan and ncMOSlan, CD14 CD16, Slan) were decreased in peripheral blood. Tumor-conditioned monocytes presented similarities with ncMO phenotype from DLBCL and were prone to migrate in response to CCL5 and CXCL12, and presented similarities with DLBCL-infiltrated myeloid cells, as defined by mass cytometry. Finally, we demonstrated the adverse value of an accumulation of nonclassical monocytes in 2 independent cohorts of DLBCL.

The causal relationship between immune cell signatures and multiple myeloma (MM) pathobiology remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to explore the bidirectional causal associations between 731 circulating immune cell traits and MM risk using a two-sample, bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. Two-sample MR analyses were conducted utilizing genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for 731 immune cell phenotypes and MM GWAS datasets.

Background: Hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) and mononuclear cells (MNCs) are critical components of cell-based therapies, including bone marrow transplantation and regenerative treatments. Evaluation of the characteristics of these products during collection, storage, and transport is essential for maintaining cell viability and functionality. In this study, we evaluated the functional and molecular stability of samples collected for the evaluation of fresh HPC and MNC products.

Background: Colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (CrNENs) are rare malignancies with limited therapeutic options and poorly understood molecular mechanisms. The roles of genetic, epigenetic, and immune factors in CrNEN progression remain largely unknown.
Methods: We employed an integrative multi-omics approach combining two-sample Mendelian randomization, Bayesian colocalization, methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTLs), cis-expression QTLs (cis-eQTLs), protein QTLs (pQTLs), summary data-based Mendelian randomization, mediation analyses, immunohistochemistry validation, and pan-cancer validation using TCGA and GTEx data, including DNA methylation profiling using the SMART, UALCAN, UCSC Xena and MethSurv platforms to provide integrative insights into potential epigenetic regulation in oncogenesis.

Objectives: Several observational studies suggest that gut microbiota (GM) may influence the onset and progression of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) through modulating host immune responses. However, the potential genetic associations between GM and AS susceptibility, as well as the immune-mediated mechanisms, remain to be elucidated.
Method: This study initially infers the causal associations among GM, immune cell traits (ICTs), and AS using univariate two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR), and then evaluates the mediating role of ICTs in the genetic association between GM and AS through mediation MR analysis.

The aim of this Research Communication was to develop new flow cytometric tools for the fine identification and characterization of milk somatic cells in water buffalo (). Four multicolour panels of antibodies were designed to identify different subsets of live leukocytes and epithelial cells in bulk milk samples. Panel 1, including the CD18/CD172a/CD14/CD16 markers and Live/Dead vitality dye, allowed us to identify total lymphocytes, polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) and monocyte/macrophage subsets.
