Primary bile acid shapes peripheral immunity in inflammatory bowel disease-asso...
Santos, André A.; Pires, David; Marques, Vanda; Alesina, Nicole; Herraez, Elisa; Roudnický, Pavel; Rodrigues, Pedro M.; Godinho-Santos, AnaPrimary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease often associated with underlying inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study investigates how PSC predisposes individuals to altered inflammatory immune responses compared with IBD alone. A case–control study was conducted with a cohort of 75 patients, including 16 with PSC (14 with concomitant IBD), 39 with IBD alone, and 20 controls....
Phenotype of BTK‐lacking myeloid cells during prolonged COVID‐19 and upon conva...
Gomes, André; Farias, Guilherme B.; Trombetta, Amelia Chiara; Godinho-Santos, Ana; Parreira, Inês; Gonçalves, Hélder Diogo; Lessa Simões, MarianaXLA patient with 7-month course of COVID-19 with persistent plasma SARS-CoV-2 load revealed a sustained non-inflammatory profile of myeloid cells in association with contained severity of disease, arguing in favor of the use of BTK inhibitors in SARS-COV-2 infection.
SARS‐CoV2 pneumonia recovery is linked to expansion of innate lymphoid cells ty...
Gomes, André; Farias, Guilherme B.; Dias Silva, Manuel; Laia, Joel; Trombetta, Amelia Chiara; Godinho-Santos, Ana; Rosmaninho, Pedro; Santos, Diana F.Accelerate lung repair in SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia is essential for pandemic handling. Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are likely players, given their role in mucosal protection and tissue homeostasis. We studied ILC subpopulations at two time points in a cohort of patients admitted in the hospital due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. COVID-19 patients with moderate/severe respiratory failure featured profound depletion of ci...
Acute HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 infections Share Slan+ Monocyte Depletion - evidence...
Farias, Guilherme B.; Badura, Robert; Conceição, Carolina M.; Gomes, André; Godinho-Santos, Ana; Laia, Joel; Rosmaninho, Pedro; Santos, DianaMonocytes are key modulators in acute viral infections, determining both inflammation and development of specific B- and T-cell responses. Recently, these cells were shown to be associated to different SARS-CoV-2 infection outcome. However, their role in acute HIV-1 infection remains unclear. We had the opportunity to evaluate the mononuclear cell compartment in an early hyper-acute HIV-1 patient in comparison ...
Severe COVID-19 recovery is associated with timely acquisition of a myeloid cel...
Trombetta, Amelia Chiara; Farias, Guilherme B.; Gomes, André; Godinho-Santos, Ana; Rosmaninho, Pedro; Conceição, Carolina M.; Laia, JoelAfter more than one year since the COVID-19 outbreak, patients with severe disease still constitute the bottleneck of the pandemic management. Aberrant inflammatory responses, ranging from cytokine storm to immune-suppression, were described in COVID-19 and no treatment was demonstrated to change the prognosis significantly. Therefore, there is an urgent need for understanding the underlying pathogenic mechanis...
Early ART in Acute HIV-1 Infection: Impact on the B-Cell Compartment
Badura, Robert; Foxall, Russell B.; Ligeiro, Dario; Rocha, Miguel; Godinho-Santos, Ana; Trombetta, Amelia C.; Sousa, Ana E.HIV-1 infection induces B cell defects, not fully recovered upon antiretroviral therapy (ART). Acute infection and the early start of ART provide unique settings to address the impact of HIV on the B cell compartment. We took advantage of a cohort of 21 seroconverters, grouped according to the presence of severe manifestations likely mediated by antibodies or immune complexes, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome an...
Differential expansion of circulating human MDSC subsets in patients with cance...
Cassetta, Luca; Bruderek, Kirsten; Skrzeczynska-Moncznik, Joanna; Osiecka, Oktawia; Hu, Xiaoying; Rundgren, Ida Marie; Lin, Ang; Santegoets, KimBackground: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are a functional myeloid cell subset that includes myeloid cells with immune suppressive properties. The presence of MDSC has been reported in the peripheral blood of patients with several malignant and non-malignant diseases. So far, direct comparison of MDSC across different diseases and Centers is hindered by technical pitfalls and a lack of standardized me...
