Covey2 The CD154 protein (CD40 ligand), which is critical to the regulation of both humoral and cellular immune responses, is expressed transiently on the surface of activated CD41 T cells. To determine whether control of mRNA stability contributes to the highly regulated expression of CD154 during T cell activation, CD41 T cells were isolated from human peripheral blood and stimulated for various lengths of time with plate-bound anti-CD3 mAb. At early times after anti-CD3 activation, the CD154 message was found to be very unstable, however, the stability measurably increased after 24–48 h of activation. Similar analyses of TNF-a and c-myc mRNA decay throughout a time course of T cell activation revealed patterns of regulation that were distinct from CD154. Similar to the effect on TNF-a mRNA, stimulation of T cells with PMA 1 ionomycin greatly increased the stability of CD154 message. However, CD154 message stability was only modestly increased in T cells coactivated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 at Downloaded from 5 h and not increased by costimulation at 24 h. Finally, an analysis of both mRNA and surface protein expression over a time course of T cell activation with anti-CD3 revealed a rapid induction of expression early after activation. This induction was followed by a more gradual decrease in expression over the next 48 h. Together, these data support a role for posttranscriptional regulation in the control and overall expression of CD154 in activated T cells.

Virology Journal (2017) 14:6 DOI 10.1186/s12985-016-0677-1 RESEARCH Open Access Correlation of cytokine level with the severity of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome Miao-Miao Liu1, Xiao-Ying Lei1, Hao Yu2, Jian-zhi Zhang3 and Xue-jie Yu1,4* Abstract Background: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) was an emerging hemorrhagic fever that was caused by a tick-borne bunyavirus, SFTSV. Although SFTSV nonstructural protein can inhibit type I interferon (IFN-I) production Ex Vivo and IFN-I played key role in resistance SFTSV infection in animal model, the role of IFN-I in patients is not investigated. Methods: We have assayed the concentration of IFN-α, a subtype of IFN-I as well as other cytokines in the sera of SFTS patients and the healthy population with CBA (Cytometric bead array) assay. Results: The results showed that IFN-α, tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP-1α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, interferon-inducible protein (IP-10), monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP-1) were significantly higher in SFTS patients than in healthy persons (p < 0.05); the concentrations of IFN-α, IFN-γ, G-CSF, MIP-1α, IL-6, and IP-10 were significant higher in severe SFTS patients than in mild SFTS patients (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The concentration of IFN-α as well as other cytokines (IFN-γ, G-CSF, MIP-1α, IL-6, and IP-10) is correlated with the severity of SFTS, suggesting that type I interferon may not be significant in resistance SFTSV infection in humans and it may play an import role in cytokine storm.

  • MST1 Is a Key Regulator of Beta Cell Apoptosis and Dysfunction in Diabetes
    ARTICLES MST1 is a key regulator of beta cell apoptosis and dysfunction in diabetes Amin Ardestani1, Federico Paroni1,6, Zahra Azizi1,6, Supreet Kaur1,6, Vrushali Khobragade1, Ting Yuan1, Thomas Frogne2, Wufan Tao3, Jose Oberholzer4, Francois Pattou5, Julie Kerr Conte5 & Kathrin Maedler1 Apoptotic cell death is a hallmark of the loss of insulin-producing beta cells in all forms of diabetes mellitus. Current treatments fail to halt the decline in functional beta cell mass, and strategies to prevent beta cell apoptosis and dysfunction are urgently needed. Here, we identified mammalian sterile 20–like kinase-1 (MST1) as a critical regulator of apoptotic beta cell death and function. Under diabetogenic conditions, MST1 was strongly activated in beta cells in human and mouse islets and specifically induced the mitochondrial-dependent pathway of apoptosis through upregulation of the BCL-2 homology-3 (BH3)-only protein BIM. MST1 directly phosphorylated the beta cell transcription factor PDX1 at T11, resulting in the latter’s ubiquitination and degradation and thus in impaired insulin secretion. MST1 deficiency completely restored normoglycemia, beta cell function and survival in vitro and in vivo. We show MST1 as a proapoptotic kinase and key mediator of apoptotic signaling and beta cell dysfunction and suggest that it may serve as target for the development of new therapies for diabetes. Pancreatic beta cell death is the fundamental cause of type 1 diabetes of events, which makes the initiation of beta cell death complex and (T1D) and a contributing factor to the reduced beta cell mass in type 2 its blockade difficult to successfully achieve in vivo.

Additionally, OPN is critical for interferon-a (IFN-a) production in murine plasmacytoid dendritic cells. We have previously shown that IFN-a is a heritable risk factor for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Genetic variants of OPN have been associated with SLE susceptibility, and one study suggests that this association is particular to men. In this study, the 3 0 UTR SLE-risk variant of OPN (rs9138C) was associated with higher serum OPN and IFN-a in men (P ¼ 0.0062 and P ¼ 0.0087, respectively). In women, the association between rs9138 C and higher serum OPN and IFN-a was restricted to younger subjects, and risk allele carriers showed a strong age-related genetic effect of rs9138 genotype on both serum OPN and IFN-a (Po0.0001). In African- American subjects, the 5 0 region single nucleotide polymorphisms, rs11730582 and rs28357094, were associated with anti- RNP antibodies (odds ratio (OR) ¼ 2.9, P ¼ 0.0038 and OR ¼ 3.9, P ¼ 0.021, respectively). Thus, we demonstrate two distinct genetic influences of OPN on serum protein traits in SLE patients, which correspond to previously reported SLE-risk variants.

Objective. To determine the role of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in CD40-CD154 dependent production of interleukin 12 (IL-12) by synovial cells of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods. We examined the effects of IFN-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and granulocyte- macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) on CD40 expression on CD68+ synovial macrophage-lineage cells (SMC). The effects of IFN-γ and soluble CD154 (sCD154) on IL-12 production by RA synovial cells were determined by ELISA. Results. CD68+ SMC expressed substantial levels of CD40. IFN-γ, but not TNF-α or GM-CSF, markedly upregulated CD40 expression on CD68+ SMC. IFN-γ also dose dependently increased IL- γ 12 production by synovial cells. The effects of IFN- on CD40 expression (EC50 = 127.4 U/ml) were observed at a concentration 19 times lower than the effects on IL-12 production (EC50 = 6.8 U/ml). Treatment with IFN-γ at a concentration low enough to augment CD40 expression but not IL-12 production enhanced spontaneous IL-12 production synergy with sCD154. The synergistic enhance- ment of spontaneous IL-12 production was abrogated by CD40-Fc. In contrast, IL-12 production induced by high concentration of IFN-γ was not neutralized by CD40-Fc. Conclusion. IFN-γ enhanced IL-12 production via both CD40-CD154 dependent and independent pathways in RA synovium. IFN-γ may play a crucial role in the development of RA synovitis through regulation of IL-12 production.

  • B Cell Checkpoints in Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases
    REVIEWS B cell checkpoints in autoimmune rheumatic diseases Samuel J. S. Rubin1,2,3, Michelle S. Bloom1,2,3 and William H. Robinson1,2,3* Abstract | B cells have important functions in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, including autoimmune rheumatic diseases. In addition to producing autoantibodies, B cells contribute to autoimmunity by serving as professional antigen- presenting cells (APCs), producing cytokines, and through additional mechanisms. B cell activation and effector functions are regulated by immune checkpoints, including both activating and inhibitory checkpoint receptors that contribute to the regulation of B cell tolerance, activation, antigen presentation, T cell help, class switching, antibody production and cytokine production. The various activating checkpoint receptors include B cell activating receptors that engage with cognate receptors on T cells or other cells, as well as Toll-like receptors that can provide dual stimulation to B cells via co- engagement with the B cell receptor. Furthermore, various inhibitory checkpoint receptors, including B cell inhibitory receptors, have important functions in regulating B cell development, activation and effector functions. Therapeutically targeting B cell checkpoints represents a promising strategy for the treatment of a variety of autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Antibody- dependent B cells are multifunctional lymphocytes that contribute that serve as precursors to and thereby give rise to acti- cell- mediated cytotoxicity to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases
