Monogenetic Immune Dysregulation Syndromes and their Effect on the Plasma Cell Compartment
Long-term immunity is shaped by the immune system's interactions with infectious agents or vaccinations. In individuals with immune dysregulation, such as patients with primary immunodeficiency (PID) or rheumatic diseases, these interactions are altered. Plasma cells (PC) and their B cell …

DISSECTING IMMUNE DYSREGULATION IN PATIENTS WITHTHYMIC EPITHELIAL TUMORS BY AUTOANTIBODY ANDSINGLE-CELL PROFILING
… cells and the proportion of intratumoral immune cells. Prognosis progressively worsened from type A thymomas to TCs. Patients with thymomas showed an elevated susceptibility to paraneoplastic syndromes, in particular autoimmune diseases (ADs), which affects around 30% of thymoma patients. …

Relationships between psychological factors and immune dysregulation in context: a life-course approach
… exposures, psychological responses to them and immune dysregulation. The approach taken is informed by theories about the life-course, the stress process, the stress response and the inflammatory theory of depression. The first two empirical chapters provide evidence about the contribution of …

Adaptive Immune Responses to Vaccination Against SARS-CoV-2 in Individuals with Immune Dysregulation
… utilised novel mRNA technology to produce an immune response against the viral spike protein. The efficacy of these vaccines was key to control the pandemic and beyond this, vital for the protection of individuals at high risk from disease. The pace of the expeditious approval and subsequent …

Psychosocial Distress Mediates Immune Dysregulation Through Alterations in Global Epigenetic Patterns and Chromatin Remodeling Proteins
… and increased HPA activation can lead to immune dysregulation consisting of reduced natural killer (NK) cell activity (NKCA) (Biondi, 2001; Kiecolt-Glaser et al., 1987; Kiecolt-Glaser et al., 2002; Witek-Janusek et al., 2008; Witek-Janusek et al., 2007). This is of particular relevance to …

Pathogenic Mechanisms Underlying Immune Dysregulation Associated To Hypomorphic RAG2 Mutation: Role Of Microbiota At Mucosal Interfaces
… immunodeficiency associated with multisystem autoimmune–like manifestations, mediated by oligoclonal self-reactive T and B cells, named Omenn Syndrome (OS). The clinical and immunological spectrum of OS presentation is extremely broad. Commonly, patients present symptoms very similar to …

Investigations into the role of exogenous estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals on immune dysregulation in autoimmune disease
… surrounding environmental exposure to EEDCs and immune system modulation. A commonly prescribed EEDC, 17α-ethinyl estradiol, is a synthetic analog of 17β-estradiol (E2), and is also found in many environmental reservoirs of human and animal exposure. Little is known regarding the immunomodulatory …

PU.1-ACTIVATED GENOMIC REGIONS DEFINE LOW-RISK MDS SUBSETS CHARACTERIZED BY IMMUNE DYSREGULATION AND DISEASE PROGRESSION
… by PU.1 genomic occupancy in regions linked to immune and inflammatory responses, increased T-cell and NK activation, and a higher frequency of SRSF2 mutations. Clinically, patients in this group exhibit greater susceptibility to infections and cardiovascular events, along with an elevated risk …

Impact of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure on Cognition and Inflammation in Aging Male and Female Rats: A Longitudinal Approach
… effects of PAE on cognitive functioning, immune system dysregulation, and neuroinflammation in aging rats with a focus on sex-specific differences. Using a well-established rat model of PAE, spatial learning and memory, recognition memory, serum cytokine levels and Iba-1 cell expression in …

Mucosal Immunopathogenesis of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)
… of infection. FIV is an established model of HIV immune dysfunction but the mucosal pathogenesis of FIV infection has not been well studied. In the present study, we (1) identify the normal phenotype of feline small intestinal leukocyte populations; (2) characterize changes occurring in the …

IL-2-Dependent Regulation of Immune Homeostasis and Response to Infection
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a critical regulator of immune homeostasis through its impact on both regulatory T (Treg) and effector T (Teff) cells. However, the precise role of IL-2 in the homeostatic maintenance and function of Treg cells in the adult peripheral immune system remains unclear. Here, we …

Targeting Innate Immune Memory to Alleviate Monocyte Exhaustion and Chronic Inflammation
… remain unresolved clinical challenges due to immune dysregulation. Innate immune cells, particularly monocytes, are key regulators of inflammation and its resolution. However, unbalanced or prolonged stimulation can drive these cells into dysfunctional states. These cells may enter …

ROLE OF MICRORNAS IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF ATOPIC DERMATITIS
… is characterized by skin barrier defect and immune dysregulation. In this study, we investigated the role of microRNA in AD pathogenesis. We found miR-335 to be highly expressed in the differentiating layers of normal epidermis but downregulated in AD. miR-335 overexpression in cultured basal …

SAFETY, EFFICACY, AND IMMUNOGENICITY OF SARS-COV-2 MRNA VACCINES IN PATIENTS WITH SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS
… individuals, their safety and efficacy in autoimmune conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a type 1-interferon-driven disease, remain uncertain, as their mechanism of inducing T-cell-mediated responses and antibody production may risk exacerbating underlying immune dysregulation. …

Human coronavirus NL63 envelope protein-protein interactions: role in pathogenesis
… (PDZ) domain-containing proteins, facilitating immune dysregulation and hyperinflammation. Early work on SARS-CoV-1 revealed that the PBM of its E protein serves as a pathogenic determinant, which was later supported by SARS-CoV-2 studies that demonstrated similar immunopathological outcomes. …

Determinants of systemic treatment response in atopic dermatitis
… involves epidermal barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and alterations of the skin microbiome. Despite major advances through targeted therapies, predictors of individual treatment response remain poorly defined. This thesis investigates systemic therapies for AD by integrating …

Immune Cell Subsets Direct or Antagonize Tumor Immunity: Promotion of TH1 Responses in Tumor Vaccination
Tumors evade immune system tumor-controlling functions. T cells critical to antitumor immunity are tolerogenic in tumor-burdened animals, and fail to lyse neoplastic cells. Our goal was to investigate the kinetics of immune dysfunction related to tumor-burdened host (TBH) memory T cell responses …

Dysregulated ERK signal pathway and immune profiles in Fragile X Syndrome
… account for the delay in ERK activation. FXS and immune dysregulation is an emerging area in FXS research. We hypothesize that immune cells from FXS patients may have different gene expression and protein profiles. We first analyzed genome-wide microarray data from FXS lymphoblastoid cell, and …
