Mashup Score: 2Monocyte-derived cells but not Microglia cause Oxidative Tissue Damage in Neuroinflammation - 3 month(s) ago
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, iron toxicity and mitochondrial dysfunction. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by mononuclear phagocytes (MPs) are widely held to drive tissue damage, yet the specific roles of central nervous system (CNS)- resident versus CNS-invading MPs remain unclear. Here, by combining single-cell profiling with conditional gene targeting, we systematically dissected and interfered with ROS production across CNS MPs in a preclinical model for neuroinflammation. We show that CNS-invading monocyte derived cells (MdCs) exhibit a higher oxidative stress gene signature and produce more ROS compared to CNS-resident microglia. While NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2), a phagocytic source of ROS, proved redundant, our findings underscore the critical role of mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) in driving oxidative tissue damage. Quenching mtROS through mitocatalase overexpression in MdCs, but not microglia, significantly alleviated neuroinfla

Mashup Score: 02024-oct-hor - 3 month(s) ago
In the face of tumour and viral challenge, stem-like TCF-1+PD-1+ cells (TSL) represent a critical CD8+ subset capable of self-renewal and replenishing intratumoural cytotoxic effector T cells. Crucially, TSL are reported to expand upon immune checkpoint blockade, thus potentiating therapeutic recovery of anti-tumour T cell responses. In a recent pre-print, Hor et al. deeply interrogate stem-like T cell niches in tumour-draining lymph nodes (tDLNs), defining a SLAMF6+TSL subset with high TCR affinity.
