    Abstract Humans can be infected by zoonotic avian, pandemic and seasonal influenza A viruses (IAVs), which differ by receptor specificity and conformational stability of their envelope glycoprotein hemagglutinin (HA). It was shown that receptor specificity of the HA determines the tropism of IAVs to human airway epithelial cells, the primary target of IAVs in humans. Less is known about potential effects of the HA properties on viral attachment, infection and activation of human immune cells. To address this question, we studied the infection of total human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and subpopulations of human PBMCs with well characterized recombinant IAVs differing by the HA and the neuraminidase (NA) but sharing all other viral proteins. Monocytes and all subpopulations of lymphocytes were significantly less susceptible to infection by IAVs with avian-like receptor specificity as compared to human-like IAVs, whereas plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and myeloid dendritic cells were equally susceptible to IAVs with avian-like and human-like receptor specificity. This tropism correlated with the surface expression of 2-3-linked sialic acids (avian-type receptors) and 2-6-linked sialic acids (human-type receptors). Despite a reduced infectivity of avian-like IAVs for PBMCs, these viruses were not less efficient than human-like IAVs in terms of cell activation as judged by the induction of cellular mRNA of

    Abstract Background: IL-17A and TNF synergistically promote inflammation and tumorigenesis. Their interplay and impact on ovarian carcinoma (OC) progression are, however, poorly understood. We addressed this question focusing on mesothelial cells, whose interaction with tumor cells is known to play a pivotal role in transcoelomic metastasis formation.
    Methods: Flow-cytometry and immunohistochemistry experiments were employed to identify cellular sources of IL-17A and TNF. Changes in transcriptomes and secretomes were determined by bulk and single cell RNA sequencing as well as affinity proteomics. Functional consequences were investigated by microscopic analyses and tumor cell adhesion assays. Potential clinical implications were assessed by immunohistochemistry and survival analyses.
    Results: We identified Th17 cells as the main population of IL-17A- and TNF producers in ascites and detected their accumulation in early omental metastases. Both IL-17A and its receptor subunit IL-17RC were associated with short survival of OC patients, pointing to a role in clinical progression. IL-17A and TNF synergistically induced the reprogramming of mesothelial cells towards a pro-inflammatory mesenchymal phenotype, concomitantly with a loss of tight junctions and an impairment of mesothelial monolayer integrity, thereby promoting cancer cell adhesion. IL-17A and TNF synergistically induced the Th17-promoting cytokines IL-6 and IL-1β as well as the Th17-attracting chemokine CCL20 in mesothelial cells, indicating a reciprocal crosstalk that potentiates the tumor-promoting role of Th17 cells in OC.
    Conclusions: Our findings reveal a novel function for Th17 cells in the OC microenvironment, which entails the IL-17A/TNF-mediated induction of mesothelial-mesenchymal transition, disruption of mesothelial layer integrity and consequently promotion of OC cell adhesion. These effects are potentiated by a positive feedback loop between mesothelial and Th17 cells. Together with the observed clinical associations and accumulation of Th17 cells in omental micrometastases, our observations point to a potential role in early metastases formation and thus to new therapeutic options.

    Abstract Adjuvant treatment for Glioblastoma Grade 4 with Temozolomide (TMZ) inevitably fails due to therapeutic resistance, necessitating new approaches. Apoptosis induction in GB cells is inefficient, due to an excess of anti-apoptotic XPO1/Bcl-2-family proteins. We assessed TMZ, Methotrexate (MTX), and Cytarabine (Ara-C) (apoptosis inducers) combined with XPO1/Bcl-2/Mcl-1-inhibitors (apoptosis rescue) in GB cell lines and primary GB stem-like cells (GSCs).

    Abstract Background: Atherosclerosis forms the pathological basis for the development of cardiovascular disease. Since pathological processes initially develop without clinically relevant symptoms, the identification of early markers in the subclinical stage plays an important role for initiating early interventions. There is evidence that regulatory T cells (Tregs) are involved in the development of atherosclerosis. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify and investigate associations with Tregs and their subsets in a cohort of healthy elderly individuals with and without subclinical atherosclerotic plaques (SAP). In addition, various lifestyle and risk factors, such as cardiorespiratory fitness, were investigated as associated signatures.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in 79 participants (male: n = 50; age = 63.6 ± 3.7 years; body mass index = 24.9 ± 3.1 kg/m²; mean ± SD) who had no previous diagnosis of chronic disease and were not taking medication. Ultrasound of the carotids to identify SAP, cardiovascular function measurement for vascular assessment and a cardiorespiratory fitness test to determine peak oxygen uptake were performed. Additionally, tests were conducted to assess blood lipids and determine glucose levels. Immunophenotyping of Tregs and their subtypes (resting (rTregs) and effector/memory (mTregs)) was performed by 8-chanel flow cytometry. Participants were categorized according to atherosclerotic plaque status. Linear and logistic regression models were used to analyze associations between parameters.
    Results: SAP was detected in a total of 29 participants. The participants with plaque were older (64.8 ± 3.6 years vs. 62.9 ± 3.5 years) and had higher peripheral systolic blood pressure (133.8 ± 14.7 mmHg vs. 125.8 ± 10.9 mmHg). The participants with SAP were characterized by a lower percentage of rTregs (28.8% ± 10.7% vs. 34.6% ± 10.7%) and a higher percentage of mTregs (40.3% ± 14.7% vs. 30.0% ± 11.9%). Multiple logistic regression identified age (odds ratio (OR) = 1.20 (95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.01-1.42)) and mTregs (OR = 1.05 (95%CI: 1.02-1.10)) as independent risk factors for SAP. Stepwise linear regression could reveal an association of peak oxygen uptake (β = 0.441), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (β = -0.096), and SAP (β = 6.733) with mTregs and LDL (β = 0.104) with rTregs.
    Conclusion: While at an early stage of SAP, the total proportion of Tregs gives no indication of vascular changes, this is indicated by a shift in the Treg subgroups. Factors such as serum LDL or cardiopulmonary fitness may be associated with this shift and may also be additional diagnostic indicators. This could be used to initiate lifestyle-based preventive measures at an early stage, which may have a protective effect against disease progression.

    Abstract Intratumoral cytotoxic CD8+ T cells (CTL) enter a dysfunctional state characterized by expression of coinhibitory receptors, loss of effector function, and changes in the transcriptional landscape. Even though several regulators of T-cell exhaustion have been identified, the molecular mechanisms inducing T-cell exhaustion remain unclear. Here, we show that IL18 receptor (IL18R) signaling induces CD8+ T-cell exhaustion in a murine pancreatic cancer model. Adoptive transfer of Il18r-/- OT-1 CD8+ CTLs resulted in enhanced rejection of subcutaneous tumors expressing ovalbumin (OVA) as a model antigen (PancOVA), compared with wild-type OT-1 CTLs. Transferred intratumoral IL18R-deficient CTLs expressed higher levels of effector cytokines TNF and IFNγ and had reduced expression of coinhibitory receptors (PD-1, TIM-3, 2B4, LAG-3) and the transcription factors Eomes and TOX. Lower expression of coinhibitory receptors and TOX on IL18R-deficient versus IL18R-sufficient CD8+ T cells were confirmed in an orthotopic KPC model. IL18R-induced T-cell exhaustion was regulated by IL2/STAT5 and AKT/mTOR pathways, as demonstrated in an in vitro exhaustion assay. Concordantly, mice deficient in NLRP3, the molecular complex activating IL18, had decreased expression of coinhibitory receptors on intratumoral T cells and similar changes in signaling pathways at the transcriptome level. Thus, molecular pathways promoting T-cell exhaustion indicate an involvement of an NLRP3-expressing tumor microenvironment, which mediates IL18 release. The Cancer Genome Atlas analysis of patients with pancreatic carcinoma showed an association between NLRP3-mediated IL18 signaling and shorter survival. These findings indicate NLRP3-mediated IL18R signaling as a regulator of intratumoral T-cell exhaustion and a possible target for immunotherapy. See related Spotlight by Stromnes, p. 400.
