    Abstract Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) equipped with an inhibitory signaling domain (iCARs) have been proposed as strategy to increase on-tumor specificity of CAR-T cell therapies. iCARs inhibit T cell activation upon antigen recognition and thereby program a Boolean NOT gate within the CAR-T cell. If cancer cells do not express the iCAR target antigen while it is highly expressed on healthy tissue, CAR/iCAR coexpressing T cells are supposed to kill cancer cells but not healthy cells expressing the CAR antigen. In this study, we employed a well-established reporter cell system to demonstrate high potency of iCAR constructs harboring BTLA-derived signaling domains. We then created CAR/iCAR combinations for the clinically relevant antigen pairs B7-H3/CD45 and CD123/CD19 and show potent reporter cell suppression by iCARs targeting CD45 or CD19. In primary human T cells αCD19-iCARs were capable of suppressing T cell proliferation and cytokine production. Surprisingly, the iCAR failed to veto immediate CAR-mediated cytotoxicity. Likewise, T cells overexpressing PD-1 or BTLA did not show impaired cytotoxicity toward ligand-expressing target cells, indicating that inhibitory signaling by these receptors does not mediate protection against cytotoxicity by CAR-T cells. Future approaches employing iCAR-equipped CAR-T cells for cancer therapy should therefore monitor off-tumor reactivity and potential CAR/iCAR-T cell dysfunction.

    Abstract Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess morphological and quantitative changes of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and cartilage after ACL repair.
    Methods: 7T MRI of the knee was acquired in 31 patients 1.5 years after ACL repair and in 13 controls. Proton density-weighted images with fat saturation (PD-fs) were acquired to assess ACL width, signal intensity, elongation, and fraying. T2/T2* mapping was performed for assessment of ACL and cartilage. Segmentation of the ACL, femoral, and tibial cartilage was carried out at 12 ROIs. The outcome evaluation consisted of the Lysholm Knee Score and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective score and clinical examination.
    Results: ACL showed a normal signal intensity in 96.8% and an increased width in 76.5% after repair. Fraying occurred in 22.6% without having an impact on the clinical outcome (Lysholm score: 90.39 ± 9.75, p = 0.76 compared to controls). T2 analysis of the ACL revealed no difference between patients and controls (p = 0.74). Compared to controls, assessment of the femoral and tibial cartilage showed a significant increase of T2* times in all ROIs, except at the posterolateral femur. Patients presented a good outcome in clinical examination with a Lysholm score of 87.19 ± 14.89 and IKDC of 80.23 ± 16.84.
    Conclusion: T2 mapping results suggest that the tissue composition of the ACL after repair is similar to that of a native ACL after surgery, whereas the ACL exhibits an increased width. Fraying of the ACL can occur without having any impact on functional outcomes. T2* analysis revealed early degradation at the cartilage.
    Clinical relevance statement: MRI represents a noninvasive diagnostic tool for the morphological and compositional assessment of the anterior cruciate ligament after repair, whereas knowledge about post-surgical alterations is crucial for adequate imaging interpretation.
    Key points: • There has been renewed interest in repairing the anterior cruciate ligament with a proximally torn ligament. • T2 times of the anterior cruciate ligament do not differ between anterior cruciate ligament repair patients and controls. • T2 mapping may serve as a surrogate for the evaluation of the anterior cruciate ligament after repair.

    Abstract In renal transplantation, complement is involved in ischemia reperfusion injury, graft rejection and dysfunction. However, it is still unclear how induction of complement and its activation are initiated. Using allograft biopsies of a well-characterized cohort of 28 renal transplant patients with no rejection (Ctrl), delayed graft function (DGF), acute T-cell-mediated (TCMR) or antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) we analyzed differences in complement reaction. For that mRNA was isolated from FFPE sections, quantified with a multiplex gene expression panel and correlated with transplant conditions and follow-up of patients. Additionally, inflammatory cells were quantified by multiplex immunohistochemistry. In allograft biopsies with TCMR and ABMR gene expression of C1QB was 2-4 fold elevated compared to Ctrl. In TCMR biopsies, mRNA counts of several complement-related genes including C1S, C3, CFB and complement regulators CFH, CR1 and SERPING1 were significantly increased compared to Ctrl. Interestingly, expression levels of about 75% of the analyzed complement related genes correlated with cold ischemia time (CIT) and markers of inflammation. In conclusion, this study suggest an important role of complement in transplant pathology which seems to be at least in part triggered by CIT. Multiplex mRNA analysis might be a useful method to refine diagnosis and explore new pathways involved in rejection.

    Abstract Background: Prophylactic vaccination against infectious diseases may induce a state of long-term protection in the otherwise healthy host. However, the situation is less predictable in immunocompromised patients and may require adjustment of vaccination schedules and/or basic therapy.
    Methods: A patient in full remission of multiple myeloma since the last three years and on long-term maintenance therapy with pomalidomide, a drug inhibiting angiogenesis and myeloma cell growth, was vaccinated twice with Comirnaty followed by two vaccinations with Vaxzevria. Seroconversion and SARS-CoV-2-specific cellular responses were monitored.
    Results: No signs of seroconversion or T cellular memory were observed after the first "full immunization" with Comirnaty. Consequently, long-term-maintenance therapy with Pomalidomide was stopped and two additional shots of Vaxzevria were administered after which the patient seroconverted with Spike(S)-protein specific antibody levels reaching 49 BAU/mL, mild S-peptide pool-specific T cell proliferation, effector cytokine production (IL-2, IL-13), and T cellular activation with increased numbers of CD3
    Conclusions: Despite immunomonitoring-based adjustment of vaccination and/or therapy schedules vaccination success, with clear correlates of protection, the development of RBD-specific antibodies could not be achieved in the immunocompromised patient with current SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Thus, our report emphasizes the need for improved active and passive immunization strategies for SARS-CoV-2 infections.

    Abstract The importance of cellular metabolic adaptation in inducing robust T cell responses is well established. However, the mechanism by which T cells link information regarding nutrient supply to clonal expansion and effector function is still enigmatic. Herein, we report that the metabolic sensor adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a critical link between cellular energy demand and translational activity and, thus, orchestrates optimal expansion of T cells in vivo. AMPK deficiency did not affect T cell fate decision, activation, or T effector cell generation; however, the magnitude of T cell responses in murine in vivo models of T cell activation was markedly reduced. This impairment was global, as all T helper cell subsets were similarly sensitive to loss of AMPK which resulted in reduced T cell accumulation in peripheral organs and reduced disease severity in pathophysiologically as diverse models as T cell transfer colitis and allergic airway inflammation. T cell receptor repertoire analysis confirmed similar clonotype frequencies in different lymphoid organs, thereby supporting the concept of a quantitative impairment in clonal expansion rather than a skewed qualitative immune response. In line with these findings, in-depth metabolic analysis revealed a decrease in T cell oxidative metabolism, and gene set enrichment analysis indicated a major reduction in ribosomal biogenesis and mRNA translation in AMPK-deficient T cells. We, thus, provide evidence that through its interference with these delicate processes, AMPK orchestrates the quantitative, but not the qualitative, manifestation of primary T cell responses in vivo.

    Title translation Experiences of Burden and Coping Strategies and their Associations with Mental Health and Well-Being in COPD - a Mixed Methods Study.
    Abstract Understanding trigger and maintaining factors regarding psychiatric comorbidities in COPD is of great importance. In the presented mixed-methods study, qualitative interview data on burden experience and coping were related to psychiatric comorbidity (using PHQ-D) and quality of live (Positive Affect Negative Affect Schedulde, PANAS and Satisfaction with Life Scale, SWLS) and extended by the Freiburg Questionnaire on Coping with Illness (FKV-LIS). The two interview questions prompting narrative were 1.) "What is currently bothering you most?"; 2.) "How do you cope with your chronic disease in everyday life?" A total of 62 patients who were hospitalized due to COPD participated. The severity of physical impairment was assessed using GOLD stage and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). The interviews conducted were content analyzed and then quantified. The collected data were then compared between two groups with regard to mental distress. 13 themes of burden and 11 coping strategies were identified by content analysis. A total of 42 patients showed signs of mental distress, while 20 patients did not show signs of distress. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of sociodemographic characteristics and the severity of their physical symptoms. In the first interview question, the stressed group more frequently addressed issues related to death (35.7% versus 15.0%) and social stress (21.4% versus 0.0%). With respect to the second interview question, the nonstressed group was significantly more likely to mention strategies for consciously emphasizing positive emotions (70.0% versus 31.0%). In addition, higher scores on the FKV scales for depressive coping and trivialization and wishful thinking were evident in the stressed group. Quality of life and mental distress should be considered in clinical care for COPD. Interventions to influence illness perception and related coping styles are important, especially with regard to the development of a realistic and optimistic perspective on life and disease burden, as well as the inclusion of group and family therapeutic interventions.

    Abstract The t-SNARE in a late Golgi compartment (Tlg2p) syntaxin is required for endocytosis and localization of cycling proteins to the late Golgi compartment in yeast. We show here that Tlg2p assembles with two light chains, Tlg1p and Vti1p, to form a functional t-SNARE that mediates fusion, specifically with the v-SNAREs Snc1p and Snc2p. In vitro, this t-SNARE is inert, locked in a nonfunctional state, unless it is activated for fusion. Activation can be mediated by a peptide derived from the v-SNARE, which likely bypasses additional regulatory proteins in the cell. Locking t-SNAREs creates the potential for spatial and temporal regulation of fusion by signaling processes that unleash their fusion capacity.

    Abstract Lipid bilayer fusion is mediated by SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors) located on the vesicle membrane (v-SNAREs) and the target membrane (t-SNAREs). The assembled v-SNARE/t-SNARE complex consists of a bundle of four helices, of which one is supplied by the v-SNARE and the other three by the t-SNARE. For t-SNAREs on the plasma membrane, the protein syntaxin supplies one helix and a SNAP-25 protein contributes the other two. Although there are numerous homologues of syntaxin on intracellular membranes, there are only two SNAP-25-related proteins in yeast, Sec9 and Spo20, both of which are localized to the plasma membrane and function in secretion and sporulation, respectively. What replaces SNAP-25 in t-SNAREs of intracellular membranes? Here we show that an intracellular t-SNARE is built from a 'heavy chain' homologous to syntaxin and two separate non-syntaxin 'light chains'. SNAP-25 may thus be the exception rather than the rule, having been derived from genes that encoded separate light chains that fused during evolution to produce a single gene encoding one protein with two helices.
