    Abstract Arrest chemokines are a small group of chemokines that promote leukocyte arrest from rolling by triggering rapid integrin activation. Arrest chemokines have been described for neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, naïve lymphocytes and effector memory T cells. Most arrest chemokines are immobilized on the endothelial surface by binding to heparin sulfate proteoglycans. Whether soluble chemokines can promote integrin activation and arrest is controversial (Alon-Gerszten). Many aspects of the signaling pathway from the GPCR chemokine receptor to integrin activation are the subject of active investigation. Leukocyte adhesion deficiency III is a human disease in which chemokine-triggered integrin activation is defective because of a mutation in the cytoskeletal protein kindlin-3. About 10 different such mutations have been described. The defects seen in patients with LAD-III elucidate the importance of rapid integrin activation for host defense in humans. We welcome reports that help clarifying this crucial first step in the process of leukocyte transendothelial migration

    Abstract Atherosclerosis, the pathology underlying heart attacks, strokes and peripheral artery disease, is a chronic inflammatory disease of the artery wall initiated by elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. LDL accumulates in the artery wall, where it can become oxidized to oxLDL. T cell responses to ApoB, a core protein found in LDL and other lipoproteins, are detectable in healthy mice and people. Most of the ApoB-specific CD4T cells are FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Treg). In the course of atherosclerosis development, the number of ApoB-reactive T cells expands. At the same time, their phenotype changes, showing cell surface markers, transcription factors and transcriptomes resembling other T-helper lineages like Th17, Th1 and follicular helper (TFH) cells. TFH cells enter germinal centers and provide T cell help to B cells, enabling antibody isotype switch from IgM to IgG and supporting affinity maturation. In people and mice with atherosclerosis, IgG and IgM antibodies to oxLDL are detectable. Higher IgM antibody titers to oxLDL are associated with less, IgG antibodies with more atherosclerosis. Thus, both T and B cells play critical roles in atherosclerosis. Modifying the adaptive immune response to ApoB holds promise for preventing atherosclerosis and reducing disease burden.

    Abstract Macrophages have unique and diverse functions necessary for survival. And, in humans (and other species), they are the most abundant leukocytes in tissues. The Innate functions of macrophages that are best known are their unusual ability to either Kill or Repair. Since killing is a destructive process and repair is a constructive process, it was stupefying how one cell could exhibit these 2 polar - opposite functions. However, in the late 1980's, it was shown that macrophages have a unique ability to enzymatically metabolize Arginine to Nitric Oxide (NO, a gaseous non - specific killer molecule) or to Ornithine (a precursor of polyamines and collagen for repair). The dual Arginine metabolic capacity of macrophages provided a functional explanation for their ability to kill or repair. Macrophages predominantly producing NO are called M1 and those producing Ornithine are called M2.-

    M1 and M2 - dominant responses occur in lower vertebrates, and in T cell deficient vertebrates being directly driven by Damage and Pathogen Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMP and PAMP). Thus, M1 and M2 are Innate responses that protect the host without Adaptive Immunity. In turn, M1/M2 is supplanting previous models in which T cells were necessary to activate or alternatively activate macrophages (the Th1/Th2 paradigm). M1 and M2 macrophages were named such because of the additional key findings that these macrophages stimulate Th1 and Th2 - like responses, respectively. So, in addition to their unique ability to kill or repair, macrophages also govern Adaptive Immunity. All of the foregoing would be less important if M1 or M2 - dominant responses were not observed in disease. But, they are. The best example to date is the predominance of M2 macrophages in human tumors where they act like wound repair macrophages and actively promote growth.-

    More generally, humans have become M2 - dominant because sanitation, antibiotics and vaccines have lessened M1 responses. And, M2 dominance seems the cause of ever - increasing allergies in developed countries. Obesity represents a new and different circumstance. Surfeit energy (e.g., lipoproteins) causes monocytes to become M1 dominant in the vessel walls causing plaques. Because M1 or M2 dominant responses are clearly causative in many modern diseases, there is great potential in developing the means to selectively stimulate (or inhibit) either M1 or M2 responses to kill or repair, or to stimulate Th1 or Th2 responses, depending on the circumstance. The contributions here are meant to describe diseases of M1 or M2 dominance, and promising new methodologies to modulate the fungible metabolic machinery of macrophages for better health

    Abstract Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the arterial walls and is characterized by the accumulation of lipoproteins that are insufficiently cleared by phagocytes. Following the initiation of atherosclerosis, the pathological progression is accelerated by engagement of the adaptive immune system. Atherosclerosis triggers the breakdown of tolerance to self-components. This loss of tolerance is reflected in defective expression of immune checkpoint molecules, dysfunctional antigen presentation, and aberrations in T cell populations - most notably in regulatory T (T
