Article Abstract
Numerous commensal microbes colonize in the pig gut, while the microbiota gets benefits from the gut environment, it additionally assists significantly with the host's development, metabolism, and immunity. The immune system can regulate the homeostasis of gut microorganisms by secreting a variety of effector factors. Similarly, gut microorganisms can also regulate the intestinal immune system via specific components or metabolites. Despite their close relationship, microbes and immune cells have their own individual ecological niche in the gut. Microbes are confined to the intestinal lumen, while immune cells are located in the intestinal tissues, and the mechanisms of how they interact with each other to promote intestinal health have not yet been thoroughly investigated. This article focuses on the different mechanisms by the interaction between intestinal immune system, gut microorganisms and microbial metabolites to regulate the intestinal health of piglets, and discusses the strategies to enhance the intestinal health of piglets through dietary interventions in order to provide theoretical support promoting the healthy growth of piglets.

Role of Splenocytes on T Cells and Its Cytokine Network in Rheumatoid Arthritis.

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.

Stemming from human immune organs, tonsil-derived mesenchymal stem cells (TMSCs) hold unique strengths in differentiation potential and immune regulatory functions. These characteristics make them valuable for therapeutic applications, particularly in regenerative medicine and autoimmune disease treatment, as they can modulate immune responses and promote tissue repair. Their ability to interact with various cell types and secrete a range of bioactive molecules further enhances their role in orchestrating healing processes, making them a promising avenue for innovative therapies aimed at restoring balance in the immune system and facilitating recovery from injury or disease.

The increased presence of goblet epithelial cells in conducting airways of the respiratory system is common in pulmonary disorders and is often accompanied by disrupted immune and alveolar responses. Signaling effectors that restrict goblet cell production include YAP and TAZ, transcriptional regulators of Hippo signaling, which repress goblet cell differentiation in the airway epithelium. Here, we investigated the acute responses to goblet cell metaplasia that are induced by the conditional loss of YAP/TAZ in club epithelial cells of adult mouse lungs.

Despite the success of antiretroviral therapy in suppressing plasma viremia in people living with human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1), persistent viral RNA expression in tissue reservoirs is observed and can contribute to HIV-1-induced immunopathology and comorbidities. Infection of long-lived innate immune cells, such as tissue-resident macrophages and microglia may contribute to persistent viral RNA production and chronic inflammation. We recently reported that de novo cytoplasmic expression of HIV-1 intron-containing RNA (icRNA) in macrophages and microglia leads to MDA5 and MAVS-dependent innate immune sensing and induction of type I IFN responses, demonstrating that HIV icRNA is a pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP).

While human autopsy samples have provided insights into pulmonary immune mechanisms associated with severe viral respiratory diseases, the mechanisms that contribute to a clinically favorable resolution of viral respiratory infections remain unclear due to the lack of proper experimental systems. Using mice co-engrafted with a genetically matched human immune system and fetal lung xenograft (fLX), we mapped the immunological events defining successful resolution of SARS-CoV-2 infection in human lung tissues. Viral infection is rapidly cleared from fLX following a peak of viral replication, histopathological manifestations of lung disease and loss of AT2 program, as reported in human COVID-19 patients.
