Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia (WM) is an IgM-secreting bone marrow (BM) lymphoma that is preceded by an asymptomatic state (AWM). To dissect tumor-intrinsic and immune mechanisms of progression, we perform single-cell RNA-sequencing on 294,206 BM tumor and immune cells from 30 patients with AWM/WM, 26 patients with Smoldering Myeloma, and 23 healthy donors. Despite their early stage, patients with AWM present extensive immune dysregulation, including in normal B cells, with disease-specific immune hallmarks. Patient T and NK cells show systemic hypo-responsiveness to interferon, which improves with interferon administration and may represent a therapeutic vulnerability. MYD88-mutant tumors show transcriptional heterogeneity, which can be distilled in a molecular classification, including a DUSP22/CD9-positive subtype, and progression signatures which differentiate IgM MGUS from overt WM and can help advance WM research and clinical practice.

Objective: Immature dendritic cells (imDC) are crucial in facilitating transplant immunological regulation. However, imDC is readily amenable to maturation. Sinomenine (Sin) naringin (Nar) are traditional Chinese medicine with immunoregulation and anti-inflammatory activities.

Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), the causative agent of Lyme disease, establishes a long-term infection and leads to disease manifestations that are the result of host immune responses to the pathogen. Inflammatory manifestations resolve spontaneously despite continued bacterial presence, suggesting inflammatory cells become less responsive over time. This is mimicked by in vitro repeated stimulations, resulting in tolerance, a phenotypic subset of innate immune memory.

The liver is a tolerogenic organ that exhibits hypo-responsiveness to antigens circulating in the portal vein. Antigens that are orally administered at high doses reach the liver. In our previous study, we demonstrated that administering ovalbumin (OVA) orally at high doses generates unique CD4 T cells and tolerogenic dendritic cells, both of which can suppress T helper type 1 (Th1) responses, in the livers of two groups of mice: DO11.

In this study, we have identified Interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), especially IFIT1, 2 and 3, as target genes of propionate-induced signalling in the human epithelial cell line A549, the monocytic cell line THP-1 as well as in primary, human peripheral blood-derived macrophages (PBMs). Induction of the IFIT gene family by propionate negatively regulates TLR-induced signalling. Propionate stimulation results in downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine expression as well as MHC class II expression upon TLR1/2 and TLR4 re-stimulation in A549 and THP-1 cells as well as in PBMs, demonstrating that propionate-induced signalling is involved in the induction of TLR cross-tolerance.
