Background: Approximately 13.8% and 6.1% of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients require hospitalization and sometimes intensive care unit (ICU) admission, respectively. There is no biomarker to predict which of these patients will develop an aggressive stage that we could improve their quality of life and healthcare management. Our main goal is to include new markers for the classification of COVID-19 patients.
Methods: Two tubes of peripheral blood were collected from a total of 66 (n = 34 mild and n = 32 severe) samples (mean age 52 years). Cytometry analysis was performed using a 15-parameter panel included in the Maxpar Human Monocyte/Macrophage Phenotyping Panel Kit. Cytometry by time-of-flight mass spectrometry (CyTOF) panel was performed in combination with genetic analysis using TaqMan probes for (rs2285666), (rs469390), and (rs2070788) variants. GemStone™ and OMIQ software were used for cytometry analysis.
Results: The frequency of CD163/CD206 population of transitional monocytes (T-Mo) was decreased in the mild group compared to that of the severe one, while T-Mo CD163/CD206 were increased in the mild group compared to that of the severe one. In addition, we also found differences in CD11b expression in CD14 monocytes in the severe group, with decreased levels in the female group (p = 0.0412). When comparing mild and severe disease, we also found that CD45 [p = 0.014; odds ratio (OR) = 0.286, 95% CI 0.104-0.787] and CD14/CD33 (p = 0.014; OR = 0.286, 95% CI 0.104-0.787) monocytes were the best options as biomarkers to discriminate between these patient groups. CD33 was also indicated as a good biomarker for patient stratification by the analysis of GemStone™ software. Among genetic markers, we found that G carriers of (rs2070788) have an increased risk (p = 0.02; OR = 3.37, 95% CI 1.18-9.60) of severe COVID-19 compared to those with A/A genotype. This strength is further increased when combined with CD45, T-Mo CD163/CD206, and C14/CD33.
Conclusions: Here, we report the interesting role of , CD45, CD163/CD206, and CD33 in COVID-19 aggressiveness. This strength is reinforced for aggressiveness biomarkers when and CD45, and CD163/CD206, and and CD14/CD33 are combined.

V-domain Ig suppressor of T-cell activation (VISTA) is a novel immune checkpoint regulator that can inhibit T cell-mediated antitumor immunity. Although the use of anti-VISTA monoclonal antibody has demonstrated encouraging outcomes in the therapy of various malignancies, its specific impact and underlying mechanisms in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remain to be explored. In this work, we analyzed human OSCC tissue microarrays, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and immunocompetent transgenic mouse models to investigate the relationship between high VISTA expression and markers of myeloid-derived immunosuppressive cells (MDSCs; CD11b, CD33, Arginase-1), tumor-associated macrophages (CD68, CD163, CD206), and T cell function (CD8, PD-L1, Granzyme B).

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of metabolic features in response to induction immuno-chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced non-small cell cancer (LA-NSCLC), using ultra-high sensitivity dynamic total body [F]FDG PET/CT.
Methods: The study analyzed LA-NSCLC patients who received two cycles of induction immuno-chemotherapy and underwent a 60-min dynamic total body [F]FDG PET/CT scan before treatment. The primary tumors (PTs) were manually delineated, and their metabolic features, including the Patlak-Ki, Patlak-Intercept, maximum SUV (SUV), metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) were evaluated.

Background: Sepsis causes a high rate of mortality and long-term morbidity, associated with an imbalance of innate immunity against infections and inflammation. Obesity and diabetes increase the risk for disease severity. Monocyte dysfunction plays a major role and justify further investigations.

The monocyte phagocyte system (MPS) includes numerous monocyte, macrophage, and dendritic cell (DC) populations that are heterogeneous, both phenotypically and functionally. In this study, we sought to characterize those diverse MPS phenotypes with mass cytometry (CyTOF). To identify a deep phenotype of monocytes, macrophages, and DCs, a panel was designed to measure 38 identity, activation, and polarization markers, including CD14, CD16, HLA-DR, CD163, CD206, CD33, CD36, CD32, CD64, CD13, CD11b, CD11c, CD86, and CD274.
