Therefore, we aimed to have a better understanding of the disbalance in immunoregulation in chronic inflammatory conditions in smoker subjects with stable COPD (stCOPD), exacerbating COPD (exCOPD), or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Smoker controls without chronic illness were recruited as controls. Through extensive mapping of single cells, surface receptor quantification was achieved by single-cell mass cytometry (CyTOF) with 29 antibodies. The CyTOF characterized 14 main immune subsets such as CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+, CD4-/CD8-, and γ/δ T cells and other subsets such as CD4+ or CD8+ NKT cells, NK cells, B cells, plasmablasts, monocytes, CD11cdim, mDCs, and pDCs. The CD4+ central memory (CM) T cells (CD4+/CD45RA-/CD45RO+/CD197+) and CD4+ effector memory (EM) T cells (CD4+/CD45RA-/CD45RO+/CD197-) were FACS-sorted for RNA-Seq analysis. Plasma samples were assayed by Luminex MAGPIX® for the quantitative measurement of 17 soluble immuno-oncology mediators (BTLA, CD28, CD80, CD27, CD40, CD86, CTLA-4, GITR, GITRL, HVEM, ICOS, LAG-3, PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, TIM-3, TLR-2) in the four studied groups.Our focus was on T-cell-dependent differences in COPD and NSCLC, where peripheral CD4+ central memory and CD4+ effector memory cells showed a significant reduction in exCOPD and CD4+ CM showed elevation in NSCLC. The transcriptome analysis delineated a perfect correlation of differentially expressed genes between exacerbating COPD and NSCLC-derived peripheral CD4+ CM or CD4+ EM cells. The measurement of 17 immuno-oncology soluble mediators revealed a disease-associated phenotype in the peripheral blood of stCOPD, exCOPD, and NSCLC patients.The applied single-cell mass cytometry, the whole transcriptome profiling of peripheral CD4+ memory cells, and the quantification of 17 plasma mediators provided complex data that may contribute to the understanding of the disbalance in immune homeostasis generated or sustained by tobacco smoking in COPD and NSCLC.}, keywords = {Tobacco smoking; non-small cell lung cancer; single-cell mass cytometry; CD4 central memory T cells; CD4 effector memory T cells; exacerbating COPD; stable COPD}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1664-3224}, orcid-numbers = {Manczinger, Máté/0000-0003-0831-9617; Tóvári, József/0000-0002-5543-3204; Szebeni, Gábor/0000-0002-6998-5632} } @article{MTMT:34199166, title = {Single-cell mass cytometric analysis of peripheral immunity and multiplex plasma marker profiling of non-small cell lung cancer patients receiving PD-1 targeting immune checkpoint inhibitors in comparison with platinum-based chemotherapy}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34199166}, author = {Neuperger, Patricia and Szalontai, Klára Margit and Gémes, Nikolett and Balog, József Ágoston and Tiszlavicz, László and Furák, József and Lázár, György ifj and Puskás, László and Szebeni, Gábor}, doi = {10.3389/fimmu.2023.1243233}, journal-iso = {FRONT IMMUNOL}, journal = {FRONTIERS IN IMMUNOLOGY}, volume = {14}, unique-id = {34199166}, issn = {1664-3224}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1664-3224}, orcid-numbers = {Tiszlavicz, László/0000-0003-1134-6587; Furák, József/0000-0002-7224-1642; Lázár, György ifj/0000-0001-7155-2978; Szebeni, Gábor/0000-0002-6998-5632} } @{MTMT:34136606, title = {A PCOS gyulladásos hátterének vizsgálata és terápiás megközelítése}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34136606}, author = {Börzsei, Denise and Nagyné Hoffmann, Alexandra and Kiss, Viktória and Sugár, Anna and Neuperger, Patrícia and Szebeni, Gábor and Bagyánszki, Mária and Barta, Bence Pál and Almási, Nikoletta and Veszelka, Médea and Török, Szilvia and Varga, Csaba and Szabó, Renáta}, booktitle = {A Magyar Szabadgyökkutató Társaság XII.

Our hypothesis suggests that galectin-1, an anti-inflammatory member of the beta-galactoside-binding lectin family, regulates microglia and neuroinflammation in the aging brain. Through our in-silico analysis, we discovered a subcluster of microglia in the aged mouse brain that exhibited increased expression of galectin-1 mRNA. In our Western blotting experiments, we observed a decrease in galectin-1 protein content in our rat primary cortical cultures over time. Additionally, we found that the presence of lipopolysaccharide, an immune activator, significantly increased the expression of galectin-1 protein in microglial cells. Utilizing flow cytometry, we determined that a portion of the galectin-1 protein was localized on the surface of the microglial cells. As cultivation time increased, we observed a decrease in the expression of activation-coupled molecules in microglial cells, indicating cellular exhaustion. In our mixed rat primary cortical cell cultures, we noted a transition of amoeboid microglial cells labeled with OX42(CD11b/c) to a ramified, branched phenotype during extended cultivation, accompanied by a complete disappearance of galectin-1 expression. By analyzing the transcriptome of a distinct microglial subpopulation in an animal model of aging, we established a correlation between chronological aging and galectin-1 expression. Furthermore, our in vitro study demonstrated that galectin-1 expression is associated with the functional activation state of microglial cells exhibiting specific amoeboid morphological characteristics. Based on our findings, we identify galectin-1 as a marker for microglia activation in the context of aging.}, keywords = {Aging; Galectin-1; neuroinflammation; microglia}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1872-6240}, orcid-numbers = {Kiss, Tamás/0000-0001-5339-5227; Stefancsik, Gergely/0000-0002-2098-652X; Monostori, Éva/0000-0002-7442-3562; Dulka, Karolina/0000-0002-7368-8198; Szebeni, Gábor/0000-0002-6998-5632; Légrádi, Ádám/0000-0001-7994-1935} } @article{MTMT:34076543, title = {Introduction of an Ultraviolet C-Irradiated 4T1 Murine Breast Cancer Whole-Cell Vaccine Model}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34076543}, author = {Szebeni, Gábor and Alföldi, Róbert and Nagy, Lajos I. and Neuperger, Patricia and Gémes, Nikolett and Balog, József Ágoston and Tiszlavicz, László and Puskás, László}, doi = {10.3390/vaccines11071254}, journal-iso = {VACCINES-BASEL}, journal = {VACCINES (BASEL)}, volume = {11}, unique-id = {34076543}, abstract = {The advent of immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatments. However, the application of immune checkpoint inhibitors may entail severe side effects, with the risk of therapeutic resistance. The generation of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells or CAR-NK cells requires specialized molecular laboratories, is costly, and is difficult to adapt to the rapidly growing number of cancer patients. To provide a simpler but effective immune therapy, a whole-cell tumor vaccine protocol was established based on ultraviolet C (UCV)-irradiated 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer cells. The apoptosis of tumor cells after UVC irradiation was verified using resazurin and Annexin V/propidium iodide flow cytometric assays. Protective immunity was achieved in immunized BALB/c mice, showing partial remission. Adoptive transfer of splenocytes or plasma from the mice in remission showed a protective effect in the naive BALB/c mice that received a living 4T1 tumor cell injection. 4T1-specific IgG antibodies were recorded in the plasma of the mice following immunization with the whole-cell vaccine. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and oligonucleotide 2006 (ODN2006) adjuvants were used for the transfer of splenocytes from C57BL/6 mice into cyclophosphamide-treated BALB/c mice, resulting in prolonged survival, reduced tumor growth, and remission in 33% of the cases, without the development of the graft-versus-host disease. Our approach offers a simple, cost-effective whole-cell vaccine protocol that can be administered to immunocompetent healthy organisms.
