    Abstract Neutrophils are the most abundant leucocytes in human blood, promptly recruited to the site of tissue injury, where they orchestrate inflammation and tissue repair. The multifaceted functions of neutrophils have been more appreciated during the recent decade, and these cells are now recognized as sophisticated and essential players in infection, cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases. Consequently, our understanding of the role of neutrophils in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), their immune responses and their ability to shape adaptive immunity in the gut have been recognized. Here, current knowledge on neutrophil responses in IBD and their capacity to influence T cells are summarized with an emphasis on the role of these cells in human disease.

    Abstract Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells, orchestrating innate and adaptive immunity during infections, autoimmune diseases, and malignancies. Since the discovery of DCs almost 50 years ago, our understanding of their biology in humans has increased substantially. Here, we review both antitumor and tolerogenic DC responses in cancer and discuss lineage-specific contributions by their functionally specialized subsets, including the conventional DC (cDC) subsets cDC1 and cDC2, the newly described DC3, and the plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs), focusing on the human setting. In addition, we review the lineage-unrestricted "mature DCs enriched in immunoregulatory molecules" (mregDC) state recently described across different human tumors.

    Abstract Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) lesions contain an inflammatory infiltrate of immune cells including myeloid-derived LCH cells. Cell-signaling proteins within the lesion environment suggest that LCH cells and T cells contribute majorly to the inflammation. Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) are enriched in lesions and blood from patients with LCH and are likely involved in LCH pathogenesis. In contrast, mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are reduced in blood from these patients and the consequence of this is unknown. Serum/plasma levels of cytokines have been associated with LCH disease extent and may play a role in the recruitment of cells to lesions. We investigated whether plasma signaling factors differed between patients with active and non-active LCH. Cell-signaling factors (38 analytes total) were measured in patient plasma and cell populations from matched lesions and/or peripheral blood were enumerated. This study aimed at understanding whether plasma factors corresponded with LCH cells and/or LCH-associated T cell subsets in patients with LCH. We identified several associations between plasma factors and lesional/circulating immune cell populations, thus highlighting new factors as potentially important in LCH pathogenesis. This study highlights plasma cell-signaling factors that are associated with LCH cells, MAIT cells or Tregs in patients, thus they are potentially important in LCH pathogenesis. Further study into these associations is needed to determine whether these factors may become suitable prognostic indicators or therapeutic targets to benefit patients.

    Abstract Patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) may develop progressive neurodegeneration in the central nervous system (ND-CNS-LCH). Neurofilament light protein (NFL) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a promising biomarker to detect and monitor ND-CNS-LCH. We compared paired samples of NFL in plasma (p-NFL) and CSF in 10 patients (19 samples). Nine samples had abnormal CSF-NFL (defined as ≥380 ng/l) with corresponding p-NFL ≥ 2 ng/l. Ten samples had CSF-NFL < 380 ng/l; eight (80%) with p-NFL < 2 ng/l (p < 0.001; Fisher's exact test). Thus, our results suggest that p-NFL may be used to screen for ND-CNS-LCH. Further studies are encouraged, including the role of p-NFL for monitoring of ND-CNS-LCH.

    Abstract Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a potentially life-threatening inflammatory myeloid neoplasia linked to pediatric neurodegeneration, whereby transformed LCH cells form agglomerated lesions in various organs. Although MAP-kinase pathway mutations have been identified in LCH cells, the functional consequences of these mutations and the mechanisms that cause the pathogenic behavior of LCH cells are not well understood. In our study, we used an in vitro differentiation system and RNA-sequencing to compare monocyte-derived dendritic cells from LCH patients to those derived from healthy controls or patients with Crohn's disease, a non-histiocytic inflammatory disease. We observed that interferon-γ treatment exacerbated intrinsic differences between LCH patient and control cells, including strikingly increased endo- and exocytosis gene activity in LCH patients. We validated these transcriptional patterns in lesions and functionally confirmed that LCH cells exhibited increased endo- and exocytosis. Furthermore, RNA-sequencing of extracellular vesicles revealed the enrichment of pathological transcripts involved in cell adhesion, MAP-kinase pathway, vesicle trafficking and T-cell activation in LCH patients. Thus, we tested the effect of the LCH secretome on lymphocyte activity and found significant activation of NK cells. These findings implicate extracellular vesicles in the pathology of LCH for the first time, in line with their established roles in the formation of various other tumor niches. Thus, we describe novel traits of LCH patient cells and suggest a pathogenic mechanism of potential therapeutic and diagnostic importance.

    Abstract Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) lesions contain myeloid lineage 'LCH' cells. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are also enriched within lesions, although their role in LCH pathogenesis is unknown. LCH cells are thought to produce the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) within lesions, however whether Tregs contribute is unestablished. Using flow cytometry, we analyzed relative frequencies of live Tregs from LCH patients and identified CD56 expression and TGF-β production by lesion Tregs. While CD56

    Abstract Background: Infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can lead to severe disease with increased morbidity and mortality among certain risk groups. The presence of autoantibodies against type I interferons (aIFN-Abs) is one mechanism that contributes to severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
    Methods: This study aimed to investigate the presence of aIFN-Abs in relation to the soluble proteome, circulating immune cell numbers, and cellular phenotypes, as well as development of adaptive immunity.
    Results: aIFN-Abs were more prevalent in critical compared to severe COVID-19 but largely absent in the other viral and bacterial infections studied here. The antibody and T-cell response to SARS-CoV-2 remained largely unaffected by the presence aIFN-Abs. Similarly, the inflammatory response in COVID-19 was comparable in individuals with and without aIFN-Abs. Instead, presence of aIFN-Abs had an impact on cellular immune system composition and skewing of cellular immune pathways.
    Conclusions: Our data suggest that aIFN-Abs do not significantly influence development of adaptive immunity but covary with alterations in immune cell numbers.
