    Abstract Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a subset of innate-like T cells with great potential for developing cancer immunotherapies, including approaches based on chimeric antigen receptors (CAR). In this issue, Ngai and colleagues report that the transcription factor lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1) optimizes functional properties of iNKT cells that promote antitumor immunity, raising enthusiasm for the development of robust cancer immunotherapies based on CAR-modified iNKT cells. See related article by Ngai et al., p. 171 (2).

    Abstract Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, a subset of unconventional T cells that recognize glycolipid antigens in a CD1d-dependent manner, are crucial in regulating diverse immune responses such as autoimmunity. By engaging with CD1d-expressing non-immune cells (such as intestinal epithelial cells and enterochromaffin cells) and immune cells (such as type 3 innate lymphoid cells, B cells, monocytes and macrophages), iNKT cells contribute to the maintenance of immune homeostasis in the intestine. In this review, we discuss the impact of iNKT cells and CD1d in the regulation of intestinal inflammation, examining both cellular and molecular factors with the potential to influence the functions of iNKT cells in inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

    Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in which the immune system damages the protective insulation surrounding nerve fibers that project from neurons. The pathological hallmark of MS is multiple areas of myelin loss accompanied by inflammation within the CNS, resulting in loss of cognitive function that ultimately leads to paralysis. Recent studies in MS have focused on autophagy, a cellular self-eating process, as a potential target for MS treatment. Here, we review the contribution of immune cell autophagy to the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the prototypic animal model of MS. A better understanding of the role of autophagy in different immune cells to EAE might inform the development of novel therapeutic approaches in MS and other autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

    Abstract Adipose tissue, or body fat, plays a critical role in the maintenance of health and the development of metabolic diseases. The pathological expansion of adipose tissue during obesity and the pathological reduction of adipose tissue during lipodystrophy can lead to a similar array of metabolic diseases that include diabetes, but mechanisms remain to be fully defined. In our recent studies, we explored the contribution of the lipid kinase PIK3C3/VPS34 to adipose tissue health and metabolic disease. We found that adipocyte-specific PIK3C3/VPS34 deficiency causes defects in the differentiation, survival and functional properties of adipocytes, resulting in reduced adipose tissue mass, altered blood lipid levels, fatty liver disease, diabetes, and defective body temperature control. These abnormalities mirror those observed in patients with lipodystrophy. These findings identify adipocyte PIK3C3/VPS34 as a potential target for therapeutic intervention in metabolic diseases.

    Abstract Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), a heterogeneous cell population that consists of mostly immature myeloid cells, are immunoregulatory cells mainly characterized by their suppressive functions. Emerging findings have revealed the involvement of MDSCs in multiple sclerosis (MS) and its animal model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). MS is an autoimmune and degenerative disease of the central nervous system characterized by demyelination, axon loss, and inflammation. Studies have reported accumulation of MDSCs in inflamed tissues and lymphoid organs of MS patients and EAE mice, and these cells display dual functions in EAE. However, the contribution of MDSCs to MS/EAE pathogenesis remains unclear. This review aims to summarize our current understanding of MDSC subsets and their possible roles in MS/EAE pathogenesis. We also discuss the potential utility and associated obstacles in employing MDSCs as biomarkers and cell-based therapies for MS.
