O’Fallon,‡ Jo¨rg J. Goronzy,* and Cornelia M. Weyand3* In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), tissue-infiltrating lymphocytes can be arranged in sophisticated organizations that resemble mi- crostructures usually formed in secondary lymphoid organs. Molecular pathways and host risk factors involved in this process of lymphoid neogenesis remain to be defined. In a series of 64 synovial tissue biopsies, lymphoid follicles with germinal centers (GCs) were found in 23.4% of the patients. Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) were exclusively present in tissues with GCs, suggesting that the recruitment or in situ maturation of FDCs is a critical factor for GC formation in the synovial membrane. Primary follicles were absent, emphasizing the role of Ag recognition in the generation of inflammation-associated lymphoid organogenesis. Mul- tivariate logistic regression analysis of tissue cytokines and chemokines identified two parameters, in situ transcription of lym- photoxin (LT)-␤ and of B lymphocyte chemoattractant (BLC; BLC/CXCL13), that were predictors for FDC recruitment and synovial GC formation. LT-␤ and BLC/CXCL13 were found to be independent variables that could, in part, compensate for each Downloaded from other to facilitate GC formation. Prediction models incorporating in situ transcription of LT-␤ and BLC/CXCL13 had high negative yet moderate positive predictive values, suggesting that LT-␤ and BLC/CXCL13 are necessary but not sufficient. LT-␤ protein was detected on a subset of mantle zone and GC B cells, but also on T cells in follicular structures. BLC/CXCL13 was produced by FDCs in follicular centers, but was predominantly found in endothelial cells and synovial fibroblasts, suggesting heterotypic signaling between cells of the synovial membrane and infiltrating lymphocytes in regulating extranodal lymphoid neogenesis.

In this study, we aimed to uncover the potential metastasis mechanisms and related signaling pathways in STS with diferentially expressed genes and tumor-infltrating cells. Methods: RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) of 261 STS samples downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were used to identify metastasis-related diferentially expressed immune genes and transcription factors (TFs), whose relationship was constructed by Pearson correlation analysis. Metastasis-related prediction model was established based on the most signifcant immune genes. CIBERSORT algorithm was performed to identify signifcant immune cells co-expressed with key immune genes. The GSVA and GSEA were performed to identify prognosis- related KEGG pathways. Ultimately, we used the Pearson correlation analysis to explore the relationship among immune genes, immune cells, and KEGG pathways. Additionally, key genes and regulatory mechanisms were vali- dated by single-cell RNA sequencing and ChIP sequencing data. Results: A total of 204 immune genes and 12 TFs, were identifed. The prediction model achieved a satisfactory efec- tiveness in distant metastasis with the Area Under Curve (AUC) of 0.808. LTB was signifcantly correlated with PAX5 (P < 0.001, R 0.829) and hematopoietic cell lineage pathway (P < 0.001, R 0.375).

  • Blockade of LIGHT/Ltβ and CD40 Signaling Induces Allospecific T Cell Anergy, Preventing Graft-Versus-Host Disease
    Blockade of LIGHT/LTβ and CD40 signaling induces allospecific T cell anergy, preventing graft-versus-host disease Koji Tamada, … , Bruce R. Blazar, Lieping Chen J Clin Invest. 2002;109(4):549-557. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI13604. Article Previous studies have shown that blockade of LIGHT, a T cell costimulatory molecule belonging to the TNF superfamily, by soluble lymphotoxin β receptor–Ig (LTβR-Ig) inhibits the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response to host antigenic disparities and ameliorates lethal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in a B6 to BDF1 mouse model. Here, we demonstrate that infusion of an mAb against CD40 ligand (CD40L) further increases the efficacy of LTβR-Ig, leading to complete prevention of GVHD. We further demonstrate that alloantigen-specific CTLs become anergic upon rapid expansion, and persist in the tolerized mice as a result of costimulatory blockade. Transfer of anergic CTLs to secondary F1 mice fails to induce GVHD despite the fact that anergic CTLs can be stimulated to proliferate in vitro by antigens and cytokines. Our study provides a potential new approach for the prevention of lethal GVHD.
