Defining and targeting tumor-associated macrophages in malignant mesothelioma

Michele De Palma

Defining the ontogeny of tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) is important to develop therapeutic targets for mesothelioma. We identified two distinct macrophage populations in mouse peritoneal and pleural cavities, the monocyte-derived, small peritoneal/ple ...

Leukocyte Count and Coronary Artery Disease Events in People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus: A Longitudinal Study

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Leukocyte count is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) events in the general population. Here we show that leukocytes are independently associated with CAD events in people with HIV in Switzerland, after adjusting for traditional and HIVrelated r ...

Human PBMCs Form Lipid Droplets in Response to Spike Proteins

Florian Maria Wurm

Intracellular lipid droplets (LDs) can accumulate in response to inflammation, metabolic stresses, and other physiological/pathological processes. Herein, we investigated whether spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 induce LDs in human peripheral blood mononuclear ...

Machine learning predictions of MHC-II specificities reveal alternative binding mode of class II epitopes

George Coukos, Florence Pojer, Alexandre Harari, Kelvin Ka Ching Lau, Julien Racle, David Gfeller, Philippe Guillaume Coune, Amédé Noredine Larabi

CD4+T cells orchestrate the adaptive immune response against pathogens and cancer by recognizing epitopes presented on class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC-II) molecules. The high polymorphism of MHC-II genes represents an important hurdle toward ...

Single cell atlas of spinal cord injury in mice reveals a pro-regenerative signature in spinocerebellar neurons

Grégoire Courtine, Jordan Squair, Claudia Kathe

After spinal cord injury, tissue distal to the lesion contains undamaged cells that could support or augment recovery. Targeting these cells requires a clearer understanding of their injury responses and capacity for repair. Here, we use single nucleus RNA ...

New approaches to uncover the minimally functional hematopoietic niche using the adipocytic differentiation axis: pharmacological modulation and adrenal niche induction

Frédérica Schyrr

Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells (HSPCs) reside in their niche, a structure that regulates the balance of cellular quiescence, self-renewal and commitment towards differentiated cells. This highly plastic niche is formed by several cellular players, ...

A secreted factor NimrodB4 promotes the elimination of apoptotic corpses by phagocytes in Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre, Florent François Masson, Samuel Rommelaere, Elodie Julie Virginie Ramond, Bianca Marie Petrignani

Programmed cell death plays a fundamental role in development and tissue homeostasis. Professional and non-professional phagocytes achieve the proper recognition, uptake, and degradation of apoptotic cells, a process called efferocytosis. Failure in effero ...

In Situ Biostimulation of Cr(VI) Reduction in a Fast-Flowing Oxic Aquifer

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Daniel Scott Alessi

Hexavalent chromium is among the most common and hazardous inorganic contaminants in soils and groundwater. A promising in situ bioremediation approach is the delivery of electron donors to stimulate microbially mediated Cr(VI) reduction, producing relativ ...

Inhibition of mitophagy drives macrophage activation and antibacterial defense during sepsis

Johan Auwerx, Antoine Jalil

Mitochondria have emerged as key actors of innate and adaptive immunity. Mitophagy has a pivotal role in cell homeostasis, but its contribution to macrophage functions and host defense remains to be delineated. Here, we showed that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) ...

Sirt6 deletion in bone marrow-derived cells increases atherosclerosis - Central role of macrophage scavenger receptor 1

Johan Auwerx

Aims: Sirtuin 6 (Sirt6) is a NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase that plays a key role in DNA repair, inflammation and lipid regulation. Sirt6-null mice show severe metabolic defects and accelerated aging. Macrophage-foam cell formation via scavenger receptors is ...

Role of Nimrod receptors in the Drosophila melanogaster cellular immune response

Claudia Melcarne

The use of modern molecular biology tools and simple but powerful tractable model organisms such as Drosophila has contributed significantly to our recent advances in the innate immunity field, notably phagocytosis. Since 2001, many phagocytic transmembran ...

TGR5/Cathepsin E signaling regulates macrophage innate immune activation in liver ischemia and reperfusion injury

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Qi Wang

The role and underlying mechanism of plasma membrane-bound G protein-coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5) in regulating macrophage innate immune activation during liver ischemia and reperfusion (IR) injury remains largely unclear. Here, we demonstrated that T ...

Two Nimrod receptors, NimC1 and Eater, synergistically contribute to bacterial phagocytosis in Drosophila melanogaster

Bruno Lemaitre, Jan Paul Dudzic, Elodie Julie Virginie Ramond, Claudia Melcarne

Eater and NimC1 are transmembrane receptors of the Drosophila Nimrod family, specifically expressed in haemocytes, the insect blood cells. Previous ex vivo and in vivoRNAi studies have pointed to their role in the phagocytosis of bacteria. Here, we have cr ...

House dust mite drives proinflammatory eicosanoid reprogramming and macrophage effector functions

Nicola Harris, Tiffany Babette Angélique Bouchery, Julia Esser-von Bieren

Background Eicosanoid lipid mediators play key roles in type 2 immune responses, for example in allergy and asthma. Macrophages represent major producers of eicosanoids and they are key effector cells of type 2 immunity. We aimed to comprehensively track e ...

T cell–induced CSF1 promotes melanoma resistance to PD1 blockade

Michele De Palma, George Coukos, Krisztian Homicsko, Sina Nassiri

Colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) is a key regulator of monocyte/macrophage differentiation that sustains the protumorigenic functions of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). We show that CSF1 is expressed in human melanoma, and patients with metastatic m ...
