BACKGROUND. Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a life-threatening complication of Still's disease (SD) characterized by overt immune cell activation and cytokine storm. We aimed to further understand the immunologic landscape of SD and MAS. METHOD. We profiled PBMCs from people in a healthy control group and patients with SD with or without MAS using bulk RNA-Seq and single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq). We validated and expanded the findings by mass cytometry, flow cytometry, and in vitro studies. RESULTS. Bulk RNA-Seq of PBMCs from patients with SD-associated MAS revealed strong expression of genes associated with type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling and cell proliferation, in addition to the expected IFN-[gamma] signal, compared with people in the healthy control group and patients with SD without MAS. scRNA-Seq analysis of more than 65,000 total PBMCs confirmed IFN-I and IFN-[gamma] signatures and localized the cell proliferation signature to cycling [CD38.sup.+][HLA-DR.sup.+] cells within [CD4.sup.+] T cell, [CD8.sup.+] T cell, and NK cell populations. [CD38.sup.+][HLA-DR.sup.+] lymphocytes exhibited prominent IFN-[gamma] production, glycolysis, and mTOR signaling. Cell-cell interaction modeling suggested a network linking [CD38.sup.+][HLA- DR.sup.+] lymphocytes with monocytes through IFN-[gamma] signaling. Notably, the expansion of [CD38.sup.+][HLA-DR.sup.+] lymphocytes in MAS was greaterthan in other systemic inflammatory conditions in children. In vitro stimulation of PBMCs demonstrated that IFN-I and IL-15--both elevated in MAS patients - synergistically augmented the generation of [CD38.sup.+][HLA- DR.sup.+] lymphocytes, while Janus kinase inhibition mitigated this response. CONCLUSION. MAS associated with SD is characterized by overproduction of IFN-I, which may act in synergy with IL-15 to generate [CD38.sup.+][HLA-DR.sup.+] cycling lymphocytes that produce IFN-[gamma]., Introduction Still's disease (SD) is characterized by recurrent fever, skin rash, arthritis, and systemic inflammation. SD was first recognized in children and is commonly called systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) [...]

BACKGROUND. Pediatric SARS-CoV-2 infection can be complicated by a dangerous hyperinflammatory condition termed multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). The clinical and immunologic spectrum of MIS-C and its relationship to other inflammatory conditions of childhood have not been studied in detail. METHODS. We retrospectively studied confirmed cases of MIS-C at our institution from March to June 2020. The clinical characteristics, laboratory studies, and treatment response were collected. Data were compared with historic cohorts of Kawasaki disease (KD) and macrophage activation syndrome (MAS). RESULTS. Twenty-eight patients fulfilled the case definition of MIS-C. Median age at presentation was 9 years (range: 1 month to 17 years); 50% of patients had preexisting conditions. All patients had laboratory confirmation of SARS- CoV-2 infection. Seventeen patients (61%) required intensive care, including 7 patients (25%) who required inotrope support. Seven patients (25%) met criteria for complete or incomplete KD, and coronary abnormalities were found in 6 cases. Lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, and elevation in inflammatory markers, D-dimer, B-type natriuretic peptide, IL-6, and IL-10 levels were common but not ubiquitous. Cytopenias distinguished MIS-C from KD and the degree of hyperferritinemia and pattern of cytokine production differed between MIS-C and MAS. Immunomodulatory therapy given to patients with MIS-C included intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) (71%), corticosteroids (61%), and anakinra (18%). Clinical and laboratory improvement were observed in all cases, including 6 cases that did not require immunomodulatory therapy. No mortality was recorded in this cohort. CONCLUSION. MIS-C encompasses a broad phenotypic spectrum with clinical and laboratory features distinct from KD and MAS. FUNDING.

During inflammation, dendritic cells emigrate from inflamed tissue across the lymphatic endothelium into the lymphatic vasculature and travel to regional lymph nodes to initiate immune responses. However, the processes that regulate dendritic cell tissue egress and migration across the lymphatic endothelium are not well defined. The mammalian lectin galectin-1 is highly expressed by vascular endothelial cells in inflamed tissue and has been shown to regulate immune cell tissue entry into inflamed tissue. Here, we show that galectin-1 is also highly expressed by human lymphatic endothelial cells, and deposition of galectin-1 in extracellular matrix selectively regulates migration of specific human dendritic cell subsets. The presence of galectin-1 inhibits migration of immunogenic dendritic cells through the extracellular matrix and across lymphatic endothelial cells, but it has no effect on migration of tolerogenic dendritic cells. The major galectin-1 counter-receptor on both dendritic cell populations is the cell surface mucin CD43; differential core 2 O-glycosylation of CD43 between immunogenic dendritic cells and tolerogenic dendritic cells appears to contribute to the differential effect of galectin-1 on migration. Binding of galectin-1 to immunogenic dendritic cells reduces phosphorylation and activity of the protein-tyrosine kinase Pyk2, an effect that may also contribute to reduced migration of this subset. In a murine lymphedema model, galectin-1(-/-) animals had increased numbers of migratory dendritic cells in draining lymph nodes, specifically dendritic cells with an immunogenic phenotype. These findings define a novel role for galectin-1 in inhibiting tissue emigration of immunogenic, but not tolerogenic, dendritic cells, providing an additional mechanism by which galectin-1 can dampen immune responses.

Objective. Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis of young children that can lead to development of coronary artery aneurysms. We aimed to identify diagnostic markers to distinguish KD from other pediatric inflammatory diseases. Methods. We used the proximity extension assay to profile proinflammatory mediators in plasma samples from healthy pediatric controls (n = 30), febrile controls (n = 26), and patients with KD (n = 23), multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C; n = 25), macrophage activation syndrome (n = 13), systemic and nonsystemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (n = 14 and n = 10, respectively), and juvenile dermatomyositis (n = 9). We validated the key findings using serum samples from additional patients with KD (n = 37) and febrile controls (n = 28). Results. High-fidelity proteomic profiling revealed distinct patterns of cytokine and chemokine expression across pediatric inflammatory diseases. Although KD and MIS-C exhibited many similarities, KD differed from MIS-C and other febrile diseases in that most patients exhibited elevation in one or more members of the interleukin-17 (IL-17) cytokine family, IL-17A, IL-17C, and IL-17F. IL-17A was particularly sensitive and specific, discriminating KD from febrile controls with an area under the receiver operator characteristic curve of 0.95 (95% confidence interval 0.89–1.00) in the derivation set and 0.91 (0.85–0.98) in the validation set. Elevation of all three IL-17-family cytokines was observed in over 50% of KD patients, including 19 of 20 with coronary artery aneurysms, but was rare in all other comparator groups. Conclusion. Elevation of IL-17 family cytokines is a hallmark of KD and may help distinguish KD from its clinical mimics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Galectin-1 is a galactoside-binding lectin expressed in multiple tissues that has pleiotropic immunomodulatory functions. We previously showed that galectin-1 activates human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDCs) and triggers a specific genetic program that up-regulates DC migration through the extracellular matrix, an integral property of mucosal DCs. Here, we identify the galectin-1 receptors on MDDCs and immediate downstream effectors of galectin-1-induced MDDC activation and migration. Galectin-1 binding to surface CD43 and CD45 on MDDCs induced an unusual unipolar co-clustering of these receptors and activates a dose-dependent calcium flux that is abrogated by lactose. Using a kinome screen and a systems biology approach, we identified Syk and protein kinase C tyrosine kinases as mediators of the DC activation effects of galectin-1. Galectin-1, but not lipopolysaccharide, stimulated Syk phosphorylation and recruitment of phosphorylated Syk to the CD43 and CD45 co-cluster on MDDCs. Inhibitors of Syk and protein kinase C signaling abrogated galectin-1-induced DC activation as monitored by interleukin-6 production; and MMP-1, -10, and -12 gene up-regulation; and enhanced migration through the extracellular matrix. The latter two are specific features of galectin-1-activated DCs. Interestingly, we also found that galectin-1 can prime DCs to respond more quickly to low dose lipopolysaccharide stimulation. Finally, we underscore the biological relevance of galectin-1-enhanced DC migration by showing that intradermal injection of galectin-1 in MRL-fas mice, which have a defect in skin DC emigration, increased the in vivo migration of dermal DCs to draining lymph nodes.

IL-1[beta] is a proinflammatory mediator with roles in innate and adaptive immunity. Here we show that IL-1[beta] contributes to autoimmune arthritis by inducing osteoclastogenic capacity in Tregs. Using mice with joint inflammation arising through deficiency of the IL-1 receptor antagonist ([Il1rn.sup.-/-]), we observed that IL-1[beta] blockade attenuated disease more effectively in early arthritis than in established arthritis, especially with respect to bone erosion. Protection was accompanied by a reduction in synovial [CD4.sup.+][Foxp3.sup.+] Tregs that displayed preserved suppressive capacity and aerobic metabolism but aberrant expression of RANKL and a striking capacity to drive RANKL-dependent osteoclast differentiation. Both [Il1rn.sup.-/-] Tregs and wild-type Tregs differentiated with IL-1[beta] accelerated bone erosion upon adoptive transfer. Human Tregs exhibited analogous differentiation, and corresponding [RANKL.sup.hi][Foxp3.sup.+] T cells could be identified in rheumatoid arthritis synovial tissue. Together, these findings identify IL-1[beta]-induced osteoclastogenic Tregs as a contributor to bone erosion in arthritis., Introduction IL-1 is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays a key role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory arthritis, including the highly prevalent disease rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its less common pediatric [...]

- Abstract
Although interleukin‐1 (IL‐1)/IL‐6 inhibitors are effective therapies for systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), some patients develop eosinophilia and lung disease during treatment. This study was undertaken to retrospectively evaluate incidence and risk factors for eosinophilia and describe lung disease outcomes in IL‐1/IL‐6 inhibitor–exposed patients with systemic JIA. Among JIA patients at our institution exposed to interleukin‐1 (IL‐1)/IL‐6 inhibitors (1995–2022), we compared incidence rate of eosinophilia in systemic JIA compared to other JIA, stratified by medication class (IL‐1/IL‐6 inhibitors, other cytokine inhibitors, methotrexate). We used Cox models to identify predictors of eosinophilia during IL‐1/IL‐6 inhibitor use and summarized treatment changes and outcomes after eosinophilia, including lung disease. HLA typing was performed on a clinical or research basis. There were 264 new medication exposures in 75 patients with systemic JIA and 41 patients with other JIA. A total of 49% of patients with systemic JIA with HLA typing (n = 45) were positive for HLA–DRB1*15 alleles. Eosinophilia was common during IL‐1/IL‐6 inhibitor use and did not differ by systemic JIA compared to other JIA (0.08 and 0.07 per person‐year, respectively; P= 0.30). Among systemic JIA patients, pretreatment macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) was associated with a higher rate of subsequent eosinophilia on biologic therapy (unadjusted hazard ratio 3.2 [95% confidence interval 1.2–8.3]). A total of 4 of 5 patients who switched therapy within 10 weeks of eosinophilia experienced disease flare compared to none of the patients who continued the original therapy. A total of 8 of 25 patients with pulmonary evaluations had lung disease, and all had severe manifestations of systemic JIA (MAS, intensive care unit stay). One death was attributed to systemic JIA–lung disease. Eosinophilia is common in JIA patients using IL‐1/IL‐6 inhibitors. Severe disease may be associated with eosinophilia and lung disease in systemic JIA.

The growth factor receptor Kit is involved in hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic development. Mice bearing Kit defects lack mast cells; however, strains bearing different Kit alleles exhibit diverse phenotypes. Herein, we investigated factors underlying differential sensitivity to IgG-mediated arthritis in 2 mast cell-deficient murine lines: [Kit.sup.Wsh/Wsh], which develops robust arthritis, and [Kit.sup.W/Wv], which does not. Reciprocal bone marrow transplantation between [Kit.sup.W/Wv] and [Kit.sup.Wsh/Wsh] mice revealed that arthritis resistance reflects a hematopoietic defect in addition to mast cell deficiency. In [Kit.sup.W/Wv] mice, restoration of susceptibility to IgG-mediated arthritis was neutrophil independent but required IL-1 and the platelet/ megakaryocyte markers NF-E2 and glycoprotein VI. In [Kit.sup.W/Wv] mice, platelets were present in numbers similar to those in WT animals and functionally intact, and transfer of WT platelets did not restore arthritis susceptibility. These data implicated a platelet-independent role for the megakaryocyte, a Kit-dependent lineage that is selectively deficient in [Kit.sup.W/Wv] mice. Megakaryocytes secreted IL-1 directly and as a component of circulating microparticles, which activated synovial fibroblasts in an IL-1-dependent manner. Transfer of WT but not IL-1-deficient megakaryocytes restored arthritis susceptibility to [Kit.sup.W/Wv] mice. These findings identify functional redundancy among Kit-dependent hematopoietic lineages and establish an unanticipated capacity of megakaryocytes to mediate IL-1-driven systemic inflammatory disease., Introduction Mast cells (MCs) were first described as tissue-resident cells that stain brightly with aniline dyes (1). Their highly granular appearance reflects their capacity to release a wide range of [...]

Objective: Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a life-threatening complication of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) characterised by a vicious cycle of immune amplification that can culminate in overwhelming inflammation and multiorgan failure. The clinical features of MAS overlap with those of active sJIA, complicating early diagnosis and treatment. We evaluated adenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2), a protein of unknown function released principally by monocytes and macrophages, as a novel biomarker of MAS.Methods: We established age-based normal ranges of peripheral blood ADA2 activity in 324 healthy children and adults. We compared these ranges with 173 children with inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases, including systemic and non-systemic JIA, Kawasaki disease, paediatric systemic lupus erythematosus and juvenile dermatomyositis.Results: ADA2 elevation beyond the upper limit of normal in children was largely restricted to sJIA with concomitant MAS, a finding confirmed in a validation cohort of sJIA patients with inactive disease, active sJIA without MAS or sJIA with MAS. ADA2 activity strongly correlated with MAS biomarkers including ferritin, interleukin (IL)-18 and the interferon (IFN)-γ-inducible chemokine CXCL9 but displayed minimal association with the inflammatory markers C reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Correspondingly, ADA2 paralleled disease activity based on serial measurements in patients with recurrent MAS episodes. IL-18 and IFN-γ elicited ADA2 production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and ADA2 was abundant in MAS haemophagocytes.Conclusions: These findings collectively identify the utility of plasma ADA2 activity as a biomarker of MAS and lend further support to a pivotal role of macrophage activation in this condition.

- Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) modulate a multitude of cellular events. Here, we identify functional miRNA-protein networks that regulate human monocyte-derived dendritic cell (MDDC) differentiation. miRNA profiling revealed stage-specific differential expression of 20 miRNAs during days 1, 3, and 5 of MDDC differentiation. To identify and prioritize miRNA-protein networks for functional validation, we developed a target ranking algorithm that incorporates many features of miRNA regulatory networks. This system prioritized miR-21, miR-34a, and their cognate targets WNT1and JAG1for functional validation. Inhibition of both miR-21 and miR-34a stalled MDDC differentiation, as quantified by DC-SIGN/CD14 expression ratios, showing cooperative involvement of these miRNAs in MDDC differentiation. We confirmed that the 3′ untranslated regions of WNT1and JAG1were functional targets of these miRNAs and provide evidence that these targets were translationally suppressed. Significantly, exogenously added Wnt-1 and Jagged-1 also stalled MDDC differentiation, suggesting that miRNA-mediated inhibition of endogenous WNT1and JAG1expression was important for proper MDDC differentiation. Finally, inhibition of miR-21 and miR-34a, or addition of Wnt-1 and Jagged-1, led to a decrease in endocytic capacity, a key function of immature DCs. Thus, our novel approach identified and validated some miRNA-protein networks involved in phenotypic and functional MDDC differentiation.

Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) were historically thought to be distinct entities, often managed in isolation. In fact, these conditions are closely related. A collaborative approach, which incorporates expertise from subspecialties that previously treated HLH/MAS independently, is needed. We leveraged quality improvement (QI) techniques in the form of an Evidence-Based Guideline (EBG) to build consensus across disciplines on the diagnosis and treatment of HLH/MAS. Methods: A multidisciplinary work group was convened that met monthly to develop the HLH/MAS EBG. Literature review and expert opinion were used to develop a management strategy for HLH/MAS. The EBG was implemented, and quality metrics were selected to monitor outcomes. Results: An HLH/MAS clinical team was formed with representatives from subspecialties involved in the care of patients with HLH/MAS. Broad entry criteria for the HLH/MAS EBG were established and included fever and ferritin ≥500 ng/mL. The rheumatology team was identified as the “gate-keeper,” charged with overseeing the diagnostic evaluation recommended in the EBG. First-line medications were recommended based on the acuity of illness and risk of concurrent infection. Quality metrics to be tracked prospectively based on time to initiation of treatment and clinical response were selected. Conclusion: HLH/MAS are increasingly considered to be a spectrum of related conditions, and joint management across subspecialties could improve patient outcomes. Our experience in creating a multidisciplinary approach to HLH/MAS management can serve as a model for care at other institutions.
