Introduction: Sepsis engenders distinct host immunologic changes that include the expansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). These cells play a physiologic role in tempering acute inflammatory responses but can persist in patients who develop chronic critical illness.
Methods: Cellular Indexing of Transcriptomes and Epitopes by Sequencing and transcriptomic analysis are used to describe MDSC subpopulations based on differential gene expression, RNA velocities, and biologic process clustering.
Results: We identify a unique lineage and differentiation pathway for MDSCs after sepsis and describe a novel MDSC subpopulation. Additionally, we report that the heterogeneous response of the myeloid compartment of blood to sepsis is dependent on clinical outcome.
Discussion: The origins and lineage of these MDSC subpopulations were previously assumed to be discrete and unidirectional; however, these cells exhibit a dynamic phenotype with considerable plasticity.

Large B cell lymphomas (LBCL) are clinically and biologically heterogeneous lymphoid malignancies with complex microenvironments that are central to disease etiology. Here, we have employed single-nucleus multiome profiling of 232 tumor and control biopsies to characterize diverse cell types and subsets that are present in LBCL tumors, effectively capturing the lymphoid, myeloid, and non-hematopoietic cell compartments. Cell subsets co-occurred in stereotypical lymphoma microenvironment archetype profiles (LymphoMAPs) defined by; (1) a sparsity of T cells and high frequencies of cancer-associated fibroblasts and tumor-associated macrophages (FMAC); (2) lymph node architectural cell types with naive and memory T cells (LN); or (3) activated macrophages and exhausted CD8 T cells (TEX).

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is defined by a myeloid-enriched microenvironment and has shown remarkable resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (e.g., PD-1 and CTLA-4).

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive blood cancer in which disease initiation and relapse are driven by leukemic cells with stem-like properties, known as leukemic stem cells (LSCs). The LSC compartment is highly heterogenous and this contributes to differences in therapy response. This heterogeneity is determined by genetic and nongenetic factors including somatic mutations, the cell of origin, transcriptional and epigenetic states as well as phenotypic plasticity.

The heterogeneity of leukemic cells is the main cause of resistance to therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Consequently, innovative therapeutic approaches are critical to target a wide spectrum of leukemic clones, regardless of their genetic and non-genetic complexity. In this report, we leverage the vulnerability of AML cells to CDK6 to identify a combination therapy capable of targeting common biological processes shared by all leukemic cells, while sparing non-transformed cells.

Background And Aims: Cytotoxic T cells have been postulated to facilitate the destruction of intestinal epithelium in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). CADM1, which encodes a membrane adhesion protein that can bind the T cell receptor CRTAM, was markedly up regulated in colons of IBD patients compared to non-IBD (NIBD) patients.
Methods: We performed comprehensive small RNA and RNA profiling on colon tissue from IBD and NIBD control patients in addition to characterizing the cleaved extracellular domain of CADM1 (sCADM1) function in lamina propria mononuclear cells (LPMCs) isolated from these patients.
