Article Abstract
Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) is one of the main causes of human death in the world. Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) provides limited protection in adolescents and adults. To explore the factors reducing efficacy of BCG vaccine, we assess the impacts of interleukin (IL)-10 and alarmins S100A8/A9 on T-cell memory. We found that BCG-induced IL-10 inhibited production of S100A8/A9 in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and murine splenocytes. S100A9 deficiency inhibited IFN-γ production by CD4 T cells in the early phase of BCG immunization and hindered the development of effector memory T helper type 1 (Th1) cells, while IL-10 deficiency promoted Th1 memory and blocking IL-10 signaling enhanced Th1 protective recall response against M.tb. IL-10 inhibited the binding of transcription factor CCAAT enhancer binding protein beta to S100a8/a9 promoter leading to S100A8/A9 reduction. S100A8/A9 heterodimer enhanced the IFN-γ production via receptor for advanced glycation end products signaling in CD4 T cells. Our results demonstrate a hurdle to development of Th1 memory after BCG immunization and clarify the mechanism of the regulation of Th1 memory by IL-10 and S100A8/A9.

Introduction: Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is an immunomodulatory treatment option for different T cell-mediated diseases such as cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). While in CTCL the polarization of T cells is shifted towards T helper cells type 1 (TH1) and an immune response against the lymphoma is induced, ECP in GvHD rather leads to the expansion of regulatory T cells (Treg). How ECP regulates the immune response dependent on the underlying disease is still not exactly known.

Metastatic triple negative breast cancer poses a significant health challenge due to rapid progression and limited treatment options. Immunotherapies targeting T cell responses against metastatic tumors depend on the presence of specific T cell phenotypes, which dynamically evolve with disease progression and treatment. Herein, we investigate T cell phenotype dynamics throughout metastatic disease progression, focusing on both the metastatic site in the lung and a biomaterial implant that serves as a synthetic metastatic niche, with the latter providing an accessible, non-vital tissue for longitudinal analysis.

Effective prophylaxis for (Mtb) requires greater understanding of immune correlates of protection. With renewed interest in BCG as an Mtb vaccine, particularly via the intravenous (IV) route, our objective was to characterize both innate and adaptive immune correlates of vaccine-induced pulmonary immunity as potential biomarkers for protective efficacy in a murine model of Mtb infection. Mice were given BCG via different routes and some boosted with recombinant virus constructs encoding Mtb Ag85B.

Unlabelled: Hepatic viruses, such as hepatitis B and C (HBV and HCV), evade immune defenses and drive liver cirrhosis and cancer. They remain a major global health burden, requiring deeper research into immune responses; specifically, adaptive immunity. This study aims to analyze T cellular subsets in chronic HBV and HCV infection and investigate their potential role in the immunopathogenesis of these conditions.

CAR-T cell therapy represents a breakthrough in cancer treatment, yet its implementation in developing countries remains challenging due to technical and infrastructural barriers. This study aimed to establish clinical-scale CAR-T production in Kazakhstan, a country with no prior experience in advanced cell and gene therapies. We implemented a complete CAR-T manufacturing pipeline, including in-house lentiviral vector (LV) production and automated CAR-T cell processing using the CliniMACS Prodigy system.
