    Abstract A role for vitamin D in immune modulation and in cancer has been suggested. In this work, we report that mice with increased availability of vitamin D display greater immune-dependent resistance to transplantable cancers and augmented responses to checkpoint blockade immunotherapies. Similarly, in humans, vitamin D-induced genes correlate with improved responses to immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment as well as with immunity to cancer and increased overall survival. In mice, resistance is attributable to the activity of vitamin D on intestinal epithelial cells, which alters microbiome composition in favor of

    Abstract Keloids are disfiguring fibroproliferative lesions that can occur in susceptible individuals following any skin injury. They are extremely challenging to treat, with relatively low response rates to current therapies and high rates of recurrence after treatment. Although several distinct genetic loci have been associated with keloid formation in different populations, there has been no single causative gene yet identified and the molecular mechanisms guiding keloid development are incompletely understood. Further, although it is well known that keloids are more commonly observed in populations with dark skin pigmentation, the basis for increased keloid risk in skin of colour is not yet known. Because individuals with dark skin pigmentation are at higher risk for vitamin D deficiency, the role of vitamin D in keloid pathology has gained interest in the keloid research community. A limited number of studies have found lower serum vitamin D levels in patients with keloids, and reduced expression of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in keloid lesions compared with uninjured skin. Vitamin D has documented anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and pro-differentiation activities, suggesting it may have a therapeutic role in suppression of keloid fibrosis. Here we review the evidence supporting a role for vitamin D and VDR in keloid pathology.

    Abstract Important stem and grain diseases of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) caused by Diaporthe aspalathi, D. caulivora, and D. longicolla reduce yield in the United States. Sources of resistance to these pathogens have previously been reported; however, there is limited information regarding their resistance when exposed to geographically distinct isolates of the same species. In this study, four accessions from the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection with reported resistance to D. aspalathi, D. caulivora, or D. longicolla were evaluated using geographically representative isolates within each species from the United States. For each fungus, a greenhouse experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with a factorial arrangement (isolate × accession). Plants were inoculated at the second to third trifoliate growth stage using toothpicks infested with isolates of each Diaporthe species. Pathogenicity was assessed 21 days postinoculation as 0 = no lesion, 0.5 = lesion length > 1 cm, and 1 = dead plant. A significant isolate-by-accession interaction (P < 0.05) was observed to affect pathogenicity as analyzed using nonparametric statistics (relative treatment effects [RTEs]), indicating that accessions responded differently to the isolates. Correlation analyses suggested that the RTEs on ‘Tracy-M’, ‘Dowling’, and ‘Crockett’ were weakly to moderately correlated with those of the D. aspalathi-susceptible ‘Bragg’, as well as for ‘PI567473B’ and ‘Century’ (D. caulivora), and ‘PI417507’ (D. longicolla), with the RTEs on ‘Hawkeye’ (P > 0.05) indicating possible genetic variation for resistance within these accessions. Our results provide information related to the resistance of previously identified accessions to develop commercial cultivars with resistance to important pathogens within the genus Diaporthe.

    Abstract D-lactic acidosis (D-LA) is an uncommon complication of short bowel syndrome characterized by elevated plasma D-lactate and encephalopathy. Treatments include rehydration, dietary carbohydrate restriction, and antibiotics to alter the gut microbiota. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has recently been used in children to successfully treat D-LA. We compared the clinical course and then utilized metagenomic shotgun sequencing to describe changes in the composition and function of the intestinal microbiome following FMT in 2 patients with recurrent D-LA. FMT altered the composition of the fecal microbiota in these 2 patients with recurrent D-LA, though not necessarily in a consistent manner. Importantly, microbial metabolic pathways were also impacted by FMT, which may be critical for achieving desired clinical outcomes. While sample size limits the generalizability of our results, these findings set the stage for further understanding of the role of microbes in the pathogenesis of recurrent D-LA.

    Abstract Genome sequences can reveal the extent of inbreeding in small populations. Here, we present the first genomic characterization of type D killer whales, a distinctive eco/morphotype with a circumpolar, subantarctic distribution. Effective population size is the lowest estimated from any killer whale genome and indicates a severe population bottleneck. Consequently, type D genomes show among the highest level of inbreeding reported for any mammalian species (FROH ≥ 0.65). Detected recombination cross-over events of different haplotypes are up to an order of magnitude rarer than in other killer whale genomes studied to date. Comparison of genomic data from a museum specimen of a type D killer whale that stranded in New Zealand in 1955, with 3 modern genomes from the Cape Horn area, reveals high covariance and identity-by-state of alleles, suggesting these genomic characteristics and demographic history are shared among geographically dispersed social groups within this morphotype. Limitations to the insights gained in this study stem from the nonindependence of the 3 closely related modern genomes, the recent coalescence time of most variation within the genomes, and the nonequilibrium population history which violates the assumptions of many model-based methods. Long-range linkage disequilibrium and extensive runs of homozygosity found in type D genomes provide the potential basis for both the distinctive morphology, and the coupling of genetic barriers to gene flow with other killer whale populations.

    Abstract O-glycosylation is a conserved posttranslational modification that impacts many aspects of organismal viability and function. Recent studies examining the glycosyltransferase Galnt11 demonstrated that it glycosylates the endocytic receptor megalin in the kidneys, enabling proper binding and reabsorption of ligands, including vitamin D-binding protein (DBP). Galnt11-deficient mice were unable to properly reabsorb DBP from the urine. Vitamin D plays an essential role in mineral homeostasis and its deficiency is associated with bone diseases such as rickets, osteomalacia, and osteoporosis. We therefore set out to examine the effects of the loss of Galnt11 on vitamin D homeostasis and bone composition. We found significantly decreased levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, consistent with decreased reabsorption of DBP. This was accompanied by a significant reduction in blood calcium levels and a physiologic increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH) in Galnt11-deficient mice. Bones in Galnt11-deficient mice were smaller and displayed a decrease in cortical bone accompanied by an increase in trabecular bone and an increase in a marker of bone formation, consistent with PTH-mediated effects on bone. These results support a unified model for the role of Galnt11 in bone and mineral homeostasis, wherein loss of Galnt11 leads to decreased reabsorption of DBP by megalin, resulting in a cascade of disrupted mineral and bone homeostasis including decreased circulating vitamin D and calcium levels, a physiological increase in PTH, an overall loss of cortical bone, and an increase in trabecular bone. Our study elucidates how defects in O-glycosylation can influence vitamin D and mineral homeostasis and the integrity of the skeletal system.

    Abstract Hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection occurs as a coinfection with hepatitis B and increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma, decompensated cirrhosis, and mortality compared to hepatitis B virus (HBV) monoinfection. Reliable estimates of the prevalence of HDV infection and disease burden are essential to formulate strategies to find coinfected individuals more effectively and efficiently. The global prevalence of HBV infections was estimated to be 262,240,000 in 2021. Only 1,994,000 of the HBV infections were newly diagnosed in 2021, with more than half of the new diagnoses made in China. Our initial estimates indicated a much lower prevalence of HDV antibody (anti-HDV) and HDV RNA positivity than previously reported in published studies. Accurate estimates of HDV prevalence are needed. The most effective method to generate estimates of the prevalence of anti-HDV and HDV RNA positivity and to find undiagnosed individuals at the national level is to implement double reflex testing. This requires anti-HDV testing of all hepatitis B surface antigen-positive individuals and HDV RNA testing of all anti-HDV-positive individuals. This strategy is manageable for healthcare systems since the number of newly diagnosed HBV cases is low. At the global level, a comprehensive HDV screening strategy would require only 1,994,000 HDV antibody tests and less than 89,000 HDV PCR tests. Double reflex testing is the preferred strategy in countries with a low prevalence of HBV and those with a high prevalence of both HBV and HDV. For example, in the European Union and North America only 35,000 and 22,000 cases, respectively, will require anti-HDV testing annually.

    Abstract Background: Vitamin D (25-OHD) deficiency and insufficiency are reported in about half of all children. The literature on low 25-OHD and pediatric fracture risk presents inconsistent results. This study evaluates the association between pediatric fractures and 25-OHD, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and calcium.
    Methods: This is a prospective case-control study in 2 urban pediatric emergency departments (2014-2017). Patients aged 1 to 17 requiring intravenous access were enrolled. Demographics, nutrition, and activity information were recorded and levels of 25-OHD, calcium, and PTH were measured.
    Results: Two hundred forty-five subjects were enrolled: 123 fractures and 122 controls. Overall, the mean 25-OHD level was 23 ng/mL±8.5: 52 (21%) of patients were 25-OHD sufficient; 193 (79%) were not. Ninety-six percent of patients with lower extremity fractures had low 25-OHD versus 77% of patients with upper extremity fractures ( P =0.024). The fracture cohort was younger ( P =0.002), included more males ( P =0.020), and spent more time playing outdoor sports ( P =0.011) than the control cohort. The 25-OHD level (fracture 22.8 ng/mL±7.6 vs. nonfracture 23.5 ng/mL±9.3, P =0.494) and median calcium level (fracture 9.8 mg/dL vs. nonfracture 10.0 mg/dL, P =0.054) were similar between cohorts. The median PTH level was higher in the fracture than the control cohort (33 vs. 24.5 pg/mL; P <0.0005); PTH was elevated to hyperparathyroidism (>65 pg/mL) in 13% of fractures and 2% of controls ( P =0.006). Matched subgroup analysis of 81 fracture patients and 81 controls by age, gender, and race showed that PTH was the only variable independently associated with increased odds of fracture (odds ratio=1.10, 95% CI, 1.01-1.19, P =0.021) in a model adjusted for vitamin D sufficiency and time spent playing outdoor sports.
    Conclusions: Low 25-OHD is common in children with fractures but we found no difference in 25-OHD levels between fracture and nonfracture cohorts. This research can impact evidence-based guidelines on vitamin D level screening and/or supplementation after fracture.
    Level of evidence: Diagnostic level IV-case-control study.
