    Abstract Background: This study aims to understand the dose-response relationship between alcohol consumption, progression of left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) and/or symptomatic heart failure (HF) in an older European population at risk for HF (stage A) or with pre-HF (stage B).
    Methods: This longitudinal, observational, secondary analysis of the St Vincent's Screening TO-Prevent Heart Failure (STOP-HF) follow-up study, excluded former alcohol drinkers and included patients with documented alcohol intake and echocardiography at baseline and follow up ≥18 months. It evaluated the relationship between alcohol intake and progression of LVD/symptomatic (stage C) HF in those at risk for or with pre-HF.
    Results: Of 744 patients (mean age 66.5 [SD 9.8] years), 395 (53.1%) were female, and 260 (34.9%) had pre-HF at baseline. Overall, 201 (27.0%) patients reported no alcohol usage, 356 (47.8%) reported ≤70g/wk (low) alcohol intake and 187 (25.1%) reported >70g/wk (moderate-high). Over a median follow up of 5.44 [IQR 4.33;6.73] years, 84 (11.3%) patients had progression of LVD/symptomatic HF. Alcohol usage of >70g/wk was associated with an adjusted 4.9-fold (95% CI 1.7- 15.1, p<0.01) increased risk of HF progression amongst those with pre-HF at baseline. The adverse relationship remained significant when adjusting for age, sex, diabetes, hypertension, body mass index, as well as further models with baseline liver function and alcohol dehydrogenase 1B gene variant rs1229984 status. The association remained when excluding those with high (>140g) weekly alcohol intake. In patients at risk for HF there was no association of alcohol usage with progression of LVD/symptomatic HF. No protective associations of low alcohol usage (≤70g/wk) on progression of HF were found.
    Conclusion: Moderate to high alcohol (>70g/wk) usage appears to be associated with progression of LVD/symptomatic HF in those with pre-HF and we did not observe protective benefits of low alcohol usage.

    Abstract Pulmonary infections remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients. The prevalence and type of infection changes over time and is influenced by the course of immune reconstitution post-transplant. The interaction between pathogens and host immune responses is complex in HCT settings, since the conditioning regimens create periods of neutropenia and immunosuppressive drugs are often needed to prevent graft rejection and limit graft-

    Abstract Follicular regulatory T cells (Tfr) can play opposite roles in the regulation of germinal center (GC) responses. Depending on the studies, Tfr suppress or support GC and B cell affinity maturation. However, which factors determine positive vs. negative effects of Tfr on the GC B cell is unclear. In this study, we show that GC centrocytes that express MYC up-regulate expression of CCL3 chemokine that is needed for both the positive and negative regulation of GC B cells by Tfr. B cell-intrinsic expression of CCL3 contributes to Tfr-dependent positive selection of foreign Ag-specific GC B cells. At the same time, expression of CCL3 is critical for direct Tfr-mediated suppression of GC B cells that acquire cognate to Tfr nuclear proteins. Our study suggests that CCR5 and CCR1 receptors promote Tfr migration to CCL3 and highlights

    Abstract Macrophages are critical regulators of pulmonary fibrosis. Their plasticity, proximity, and ability to cross talk with structural cells of the lung make them a key cell type of interest in the regulation of lung fibrosis. Macrophages can express a variety of phenotypes, which have been historically represented through an "M1-like" to "M2-like" delineation. In this classification, M1-like macrophages are proinflammatory and have increased phagocytic capacity compared with alternatively activated M2-like macrophages that are profibrotic and are associated with wound healing. Extensive evidence in the field in both patients and animal models aligns pulmonary fibrosis with M2 macrophages. In this study, we performed RNA sequencing (RNAseq) to fully characterize M1- vs. M2-skewed bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and investigated the profibrotic abilities of M2 BMDM conditioned media (CM) to promote fibroblast migration and proliferation, alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) apoptosis, and mRNA expression of key fibrotic genes in both fibroblasts and AECs. Although M2 CM-treated fibroblasts had increased migration and M2 CM-treated fibroblasts and AECs had increased expression of profibrotic proteins over M1 CM-treated cells, all differences can be attributed to M2 polarization reagents IL-4 and IL-13 also present in the CM. Collectively, these data suggest that the profibrotic effects associated with M2 macrophage CM in vitro are attributable to effects of polarization cytokines rather than additional factors secreted in response to those polarizing cytokines.
