Association between CD8+ T-Cell Infiltration and Breast Cancer Survival in 12 439 Patients
T-cell infiltration in estrogen receptor-negative breast tumors has been associated with longer survival. To investigate this association and the potential of tumor T-cell infiltration as a prognostic and predictive marker, researchers conducted the largest study of T cells in breast cancer to date.

Targeting WNT1-Inducible Signaling Pathway Protein 2 Alters Human Breast Cancer Cell Susceptibility to Specific Lysis through Regulation of KLF-4 and miR-7 Expression
Investigators found that silencing WNT1-inducible signaling pathway protein 2 signaling in human breast adenocarcinoma MCF7 cells impairs cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-mediated cell killing by a mechanism involving stem cell marker Kruppel-like factor-4 induction and microRNA-7 (miR-7) downregulation.

Abstract
A Role for CCL28-CCR3 in T-Cell Homing to the Human Upper Airway Mucosa
Analysis of the cognate chemokine receptors revealed that close to 50% of the CD4+ T cells in the human nasal mucosa expressed the CCL28 receptor CCR3, whereas CCR3 was hardly detectable on T cells in the small intestine and skin. In the circulation, CCR3+ T cells comprised a small subset that did not express homing receptors to the intestine or skin. [Mucosal Immunol]
Abstract
Association between Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells Enrichment, Nasal Polyps and Allergy in Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Researchers characterized group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) compartment in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) by investigating the correlations between ILC2s, Th2 cells and Th2 cytokines expression in CRS patients. [Allergy]
Abstract
A High Frequency of Myeloid-Derived Stem Cells (MDSCs) in Sepsis Patients, with the Granulocytic Subtype Dominating in Gram-Positive Cases
Investigators analyzed potential MDSCs in sepsis patients with different causative microorganisms, using total peripheral blood compared with density gradient-centrifuged blood. [J Leukoc Biol]
Abstract
Upregulation of Store-Operated Ca2+ Entry in the Naïve CD4+ T Cells with Aberrant Cytokine Releasing in Active Rheumatoid Arthritis
Researchers measured Ca2+ influx and Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ currents in naïve and memory CD4+ T cells. These cells were further characterized by flow cytometric analysis of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-17, interferon-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α. [Immunol Cell Biol]
Abstract
Clinical Heterogeneity of Immunodysregulation, Polyendocrinopathy, Enteropathy, X-linked: Pulmonary Involvement as a Non-Classical Disease Manifestation
Immunodysregulation, Polyendocrinopathy, Enteropathy, X-linked is a rare X-linked recessive life-threatening disorder characterized by autoimmunity and early death. Clinical data and laboratory findings including autoantibodies, immunoglobulin levels as well as number of T, B and NK cells were evaluated. FOXP3 expression and T reg activity were analyzed. [J Clin Immunol]
Abstract
Pre-TCRα Supports CD3-Dependent Reactivation and Expansion of TCRα-Deficient Primary Human T-Cells
Researchers showed that pre-T-cell receptor (TCR) α, a TCRα surrogate that pairs with TCRβ chains to signal proper TCRβ folding during T-cell development, can be expressed in TCRα knockout mature T-cells to support CD3 expression at the cell surface. [Mol Ther Methods Clin Dev]
