Article Abstract
The human body harbors a substantial population of bacteria, which may outnumber host cells. Thus, there are multiple interactions between both cell types. Given the common presence of Staphylococcus aureus in the human body and the role of Th17 cells in controlling this pathogen on mucous membranes, we sought to investigate the effect of α-hemolysin, which is produced by this bacterium, on differentiating Th17 cells. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that α-hemolysin influences the expression of signature genes for Th17 cells as well as genes involved in epigenetic regulation. We observed alterations in various histone marks and genome methylation levels via whole-genome bisulfite sequencing. Our findings underscore how bacterial proteins can significantly influence the transcriptome, epigenome, and phenotype of human Th17 cells, highlighting the intricate and complex nature of the interaction between immune cells and the microbiota.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a gastrointestinal inflammatory condition with an unclear etiology. Recent findings suggest that metabolites play a pivotal role in promoting intestinal health. We have previously observed a significant enrichment in colonic branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in resistant mice to colitis suggesting the potential role of these metabolites in UC development.

Steroid-refractory gut acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-Gut-aGVHD) is the major cause of nonrelapse death after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. High numbers of donor-type IL-22+ T cells, IL-22-dependent dysbiosis, and loss of antiinflammatory CX3CR1hi mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs) play critical roles in SR-Gut-aGVHD pathogenesis. CEACAM1 on intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) is proposed to regulate bacterial translocation and subsequent immune responses in the intestine.

Background: Immune escape of tumor cells is a common problem with tumor photothermal therapy utilizing gold nanorods (Au NRs). Whether CpG ODN, an immune adjuvant, can synergize with Au NRs to activate the immune response and its potential mechanism is not clear.
Methods: The effect of Au NRs combined with CpG ODN (Au NRs-C) on the activity of various immune-related cells, such as double-positive T cells, macrophages, NK cells, Th17, and Treg.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune condition that impacts the immune system, especially through changes in the splenic immune cell system. This review provides an overview of the role of splenocytes in T cell signaling and their immune response in RA patients. The spleen acts as a critical site for the activation and differentiation of splenic immune cells like T cells, B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and NK cells.
