The Journal of Immunology Adaptive Immune Responses Are Dispensable for Isolated Lymphoid Follicle Formation: Antigen-Naive, Lymphotoxin-Sufficient B Lymphocytes Drive the Formation of Mature Isolated Lymphoid Follicles1 Keely G. McDonald, Jacquelyn S. McDonough, and Rodney D. Newberry2 Isolated lymphoid follicles (ILFs) are recently appreciated members of the mucosal immune system. The architecture, composi- tion, and inducible nature of these structures indicates that these structures are tertiary lymphoid structures. The process leading to the formation of tertiary lymphoid structures, lymphoid neogenesis, has been observed in a number of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. Given this association, there is considerable interest in identifying the factors promoting lymphoid Downloaded from neogenesis, and understanding the steps in this process. Using murine ILF formation as a model, we have examined the roles of different cellular sources of lymphotoxin (LT) and the adaptive immune response in lymphoid neogenesis. In this study, we report that, although other cellular sources of LT may supplant B lymphocytes in the formation of immature ILFs (loosely organized clusters of B lymphocytes), LT-sufficient B lymphocytes are required for the progression of immature ILFs to mature ILFs (organized lymphoid aggregates with a follicle-associated epithelium). ILF formation occurs in the absence of T lymphocytes and Ag-specific B lymphocyte responses, and ILF B lymphocytes express elevated levels of LT in the absence of antigenic stimulation. http://www.jimmunol.org/ Consistent with a role for chemokines inducing LT expression in Ag-naive B lymphocytes, and a chemokine-driven positive- feedback loop driving mature ILF formation, mature ILFs express elevated levels of B lymphocyte chemoattractant in the absence of Ag-specific B lymphocyte stimulation. These observations indicate that ILFs contain Ag-naive lymphocytes, and suggest that events occurring within ILFs shape subsequent immune responses mediated by these lymphocytes.

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.

The epidemiological relationships with cancer are unknown, hence this study investigated their associations. Methods: From a multiethnic population-based cohort, 3,032 participants without a prevalent cancer (a diagnosis prior to or within one year of enrollment) at baseline underwent measurement of plasma LTβR. These participants were followed for incident cancer using the Texas Cancer Registry (TCR). Results: Over a median follow-up of 12.1 years, 178 participants developed incident cancer, of which 30 participants developed incident gastrointestinal (GI) cancer. Median plasma LTβR (1.10 vs.
