Version of Record online: 28 June 2021


Graphical Abstract

Up-regulated expression and activation of STAT5 increases GM-CSF expression, promotes neutrophil augmentation, and eventually exacerbates chronic pancreatitis.

Maite Casado-Bedmar, Felipe Meira de-Faria, Olga Biskou, Carl Mårten Lindqvist, Purnika Damindi Ranasinghe, Olga Bednarska, Christer Peterson, Susanna A. Walter, Marie Carlson, Åsa V. Keita

Version of Record online: 21 June 2021


Graphical Abstract

Fecal eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (F-EDN) levels are correlated to degranulation of eosinophils in the colon of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients.

EDITORIAL COMMENTARY

What a difference ADA2 makes: Insights into the pathophysiology of ADA2 deficiency from single‐cell RNA sequencing of monocytes
Lisa Ehlers, Isabelle Meyts

Version of Record online: 16 June 2021


Graphical Abstract

Discussion on the increase in nonclassical monocytes in patients with DADA2 as shown by scRNA seq; these pro inflammatory cells also show increased TNFR2, type I, and type II IFN pathway gene expression.

MEETING REVIEWS

Immunopathogenesis of oral submucous fibrosis by chewing the areca nut
Liping Wang, Zhangui Tang

Version of Record online: 14 June 2021


Graphical Abstract

Shows the importance of immune regulation in oral submucous fibrosis (OSF); examines T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, mast cells, and related immune complexes and their roles in the pathogenesis and treatment of OSF.

HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLE

Activation of human γδ T cells and NK cells by Staphylococcal enterotoxins requires both monocytes and conventional T cells
Manuel Mata Forsberg, Claudia Arasa, Willemien van Zwol, Sibel Uzunçayir, Anna Schönbichler, Paulina Regenthal, Jenny Schelin, Karin Lindkvist-Petersson, Sophia Björkander, Eva Sverremark-Ekström

Version of Record online: 11 June 2021


Graphical Abstract

Unconventional T cells and NK cells require IL-12, monocytes, conventional T cells, and a mature immune system to efficiently respond to Staphylococcal enterotoxins in vitro.

ARTICLES

MiR‐155 regulates neutrophil extracellular trap formation and lung injury in abdominal sepsis
Avin Hawez, Dler Taha, Anwar Algaber, Raed Madhi, Milladur Rahman, Henrik Thorlacius

Version of Record online: 11 June 2021


Graphical Abstract

MiR-155 regulates pulmonary formation of NETs in abdominal sepsis via PAD4 upregulation and histone 3 citrullination; miR-155 could be a useful target to reduce pulmonary damage in abdominal sepsis.

INSIGHT ARTICLES

Human monocytes store and secrete preformed CCL5, independent of de novo protein synthesis
Arvin Tejnarine Persaud, Stephen Andrew Bennett, Laxshaginee Thaya, Jonathan Burnie, Christina Guzzo

Version of Record online: 11 June 2021


Graphical Abstract

Resting human monocytes have intracellular storage pools of CCL5 that are associated with compartments containing Rab11A and CD63, enabling rapid release without the need for de novo protein synthesis.

ARTICLES

Lulingxiao Nie, PengFei Zhao, Ziqi Yue, Peng Zhang, Ning Ji, Qianming Chen, Qi Wang

Version of Record online: 04 June 2021


Graphical Abstract

The pyroptosis caused by diabetes leads to the dysfuntion of macrophages and the establishment of a pro-inflammatory, pre-aging microenvironment.

HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLE

The atypical small GTPase GEM/Kir is a negative regulator of the NADPH oxidase and NETs production through macroautophagy
Jennifer L. Johnson, Mahalakshmi Ramadass, Farhana Rahman, Elsa Meneses-Salas, Nadia R. Zgajnar, Raquel Carvalho Gontijo, Jinzhong Zhang, William B. Kiosses, Yanfang Peipei Zhu, Catherine C. Hedrick, Marta Perego, Jenny E. Gunton, Kersi Pestonjamasp, Gennaro Napolitano, Sergio D. Catz
