Abstract

The WHO research agenda for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in human health has identified 40 research priorities to be addressed by the year 2030. These priorities focus on bacterial and fungal pathogens of crucial importance in addressing AMR, including drug-resistant pathogens causing tuberculosis. These research priorities encompass the entire people-centred journey, covering prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of antimicrobial-resistant infections, in addition to addressing the overarching knowledge gaps in AMR epidemiology, burden and drivers, policies and regulations, and awareness and education. The research priorities were identified through a multistage process, starting with a comprehensive scoping review of knowledge gaps, with expert inputs gathered through a survey and open call. The priority setting involved a rigorous modified Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative approach, ensuring global representation and applicability of the findings. The ultimate goal of this research agenda is to encourage research and investment in the generation of evidence to better understand AMR dynamics and facilitate policy translation for reducing the burden and consequences of AMR.

Abstract

The patient was a 15 months-old boy who had been diagnosed CHARGE syndrome, which is a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome caused by mutations in the CHD7 gene. Mechanical ventilation management was initiated 2 hours after birth for dysphagia and respiratory failure, and tracheotomy was performed 3 months after birth for dysphagia and failed extubation. He was repeatedly hospitalized due to pneuomoniae. Approximately 1 year after birth, the boy had two consecutive episodes of sudden ventilatory insufficiency while replacing the tracheotomy cannula. A bronchoscopic examination under general anesthesia revealed a tracheoesophageal fistula directly below the tracheostomy. The patient was diagnosed with Gross E esophageal atresia, and we speculated that the cannula migrated to the esophagus via the fistula during tracheostomy cannula replacement. Gross E esophageal atresia is a rare disease. Its diagnosis is often delayed, and it is discovered by recurrent pneumonia in many cases. A tracheoesophageal fistula may also be found in children with deformities of the respiratory system. Furthermore, tracheoesophageal fistulae are often found in the neck. Therefore, when sudden ventilatory insufficiency occurs in a child with a tracheostomy after replacing the tracheostomy cannula, caution must be exercised since the cannula may have migrated to the esophagus via a fistula.

Abstract

Proteasomes are multisubunit proteases that play a critical role in maintaining cellular function through the selective degradation of ubiquitinated proteins. When 3 additional β subunits, expression of which is induced by IFN-γ, are substituted for their constitutively expressed counterparts, the structure is converted to an immunoproteasome. However, the underlying roles of immunoproteasomes in human diseases are poorly understood. Using exome analysis, we found a homozygous missense mutation (G197V) in immunoproteasome subunit, β type 8 (PSMB8), which encodes one of the β subunits induced by IFN-γ in patients from 2 consanguineous families. Patients bearing this mutation suffered from autoinflammatory responses that included recurrent fever and nodular erythema together with lipodystrophy. This mutation increased assembly intermediates of immunoproteasomes, resulting in decreased proteasome function and ubiquitin-coupled protein accumulation in the patient's tissues. In the patient's skin and B cells, IL-6 was highly expressed, and there was reduced expression of PSMB8. Downregulation of PSMB8 inhibited the differentiation of murine and human adipocytes in vitro, and injection of siRNA against Psmb8 in mouse skin reduced adipocyte tissue volume. These findings identify PSMB8 as an essential component and regulator not only of inflammation, but also of adipocyte differentiation, and indicate that immunoproteasomes have pleiotropic functions in maintaining the homeostasis of a variety of cell types., Introduction Autoinflammatory syndrome is characterized by autoimmunity and inflammatory responses in the absence of infection (1, 2). Recent studies have revealed several genes that are etiologic in many auto-inflammatory diseases [...]

Abstract

Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 298: F167-F176, 2010. First published October 21, 2009; doi: 10.1152/ajprenal.00124.2009.--The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade plays an important role in the regulation of various cellular functions in glomerulonephritis (GN). Here, we investigated whether extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5), a member of the MAPK family, is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic mesangioproliferative GN, using a rat model induced by uninephrectomy and anti-Thy-1 antibody injection. Immunostaining of kidneys obtained at different time points revealed that phospho-ERK5 was weakly expressed in control glomeruli but dramatically increased in a typical mesangial pattern after 28 and 56 days of GN. A semiquantitative assessment indicated that glomerular phospho-ERK5 expression closely paralleled the accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM), collagen type I, as well as glomerular expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ANG II. On the other hand, phospho-ERK1/2 expression increased on day 7 during the phase of enhanced mesangial cell (MC) proliferation and decreased thereafter. [H.sub.2][O.sub.2] and ANG II each induced ERK5 phosphorylation by cultured rat MCs. Costimulation with both [H.sub.2][O.sub.2] and ANG II synergistically increased ERK5 phosphorylation in MCs. Cultured MCs transfected with ERK5-specific small interference RNA showed a significant decrease in [H.sub.2][O.sub.2] or ANG II-induced cell viability and soluble collagen secretion compared with control cells. Treatment of GN rats with an ANG II type 1 receptor blocker resulted in significant decreases in phospho-ERK5 expression and collagen accumulation accompanied by remarkable histological improvement. Taken together, these results suggest that MC ERK5 phosphorylation by ANG II or [H.sub.2][O.sub.2] enhances cell viability and ECM accumulation in an experimental model of chronic GN. extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5; angiotensin II; reactive oxygen species; extracellular matrix

Abstract

Dendritic cells (DCs) are important for adaptive immune responses through the activation of T cells. The molecular interplay between DCs and T cells determines the magnitude of T cell responses or outcomes of functional differentiation of T cells. In this study, we demonstrated that DCs in mice that are Rbpj deficient in CD11c+ cells (Rbpj2/2 mice) promoted the differentiation of IL-17A–producing Th17 cells. Rbpj-deficient DCs expressed little Aldh1a2 protein that is required for generating retinoic acid. Those DCs exhibited a reduced ability for differentiating regulatory T cells induced by TGF-b. Rbpj protein directly regulated Aldh1a2 transcription by binding to its promoter region. The overexpression of Aldh1a2 in Rbpj-deficient DCs negated their Th17-promoting ability. Transfer of naive CD4+ T cells into Rag1-deficient Rbpj2/2 mice enhanced colitis with increased Th17 and reduced induced regulatory T cells (iTreg) compared with control Rag1-deficient mice. The cotransfer of iTreg and naive CD4+ T cells into Rag1-deficient Rbpj2/2 mice improved colitis compared with transfer of naive CD4+ T cell alone. Furthermore, cotransfer of DCs from Rbpj2/2 mice that overexpressed Aldh1a2 or Notch-stimulated DCs together with naive CD4+ T cells into Rbpj2/2 Rag1-deficient mice led to reduced colitis with increased iTreg numbers. Therefore, our studies identify Notch signaling in DCs as a crucial balancer of Th17/iTreg, which depends on the direct regulation of Aldh1a2 transcription in DCs.
