CD47 fusion protein targets CD172a+ cells in Crohn’s disease and dampens the production of IL-1β and TNF

In mice, the transfer of CD172a(+) (SIRP-α) dendritic cells (DCs) elicits T cell–driven colitis, whereas treatment with CD47-Fc protein, a CD172a-binding agent, confers protection. The aim of this study was to elucidate the nature and functional properties of human CD172a(+) DCs in chronic intestinal inflammation. Here, we show that CD172a(+)CD11c(+) cells accumulate in the mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) and inflamed intestinal mucosa in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD). These cells are distinct from resident DCs and may coexpress markers typically associated with monocyte-derived inflammatory DCs such as CD14 and/or DC-SIGN, E-Cadherin, and/or CX(3)CR1. Spontaneous IL-1β and TNF production by HLA-DR(+) cells in CD tissues is restricted to those expressing CD172a. An avidity-improved CD47 fusion protein (CD47-Var1) suppresses the release of a wide array of inflammatory cytokines by CD172a(+) cells, which may include HLA-DR(−)CD172a(+) neutrophils, in inflamed colonic explant cultures and impairs the ability of HLA-DR(+)CD172a(+) cells to activate memory Th17 but not Th1 responses in mLNs. In conclusion, targeting CD172a(+) cells may represent novel therapeutic perspectives for patients with CD

Spontaneous IL-1β and TNF production by HLA-DR(+) cells in CD tissues is restricted to those expressing CD172a. An avidity-improved CD47 fusion protein (CD47-Var1) suppresses the release of a wide array of inflammatory cytokines by CD172a(+) cells, which may include HLA-DR(-)CD172a(+) neutrophils, in inflamed colonic explant cultures and impairs the ability of HLA-DR(+)CD172a(+) cells to activate memory Th17 but not Th1 responses in mLNs. In conclusion, targeting CD172a(+) cells may represent novel therapeutic perspectives for patients with CD.Journal ArticleResearch Support, Non-U.S. Gov'tSCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Famille, vieillissement, territoire et innovation sociale

Ce numéro thématique s’intéresse aux principaux enjeux et défis associés au vieillissement démographique en regard de l’amélioration de l’inclusion sociale et de la qualité de vie des aînés. Les articles qui le composent mettent en exergue le remodelage du lien social entre les personnes âgées, le territoire, leur famille et l’ensemble de la société en s’appuyant sur divers cas au Québec et en France. Ceux-ci touchent la retraite en milieu agricole, les stratégies déployées face aux difficultés financières, les impacts du vieillissement sous la loupe de l’aménagement urbain, la démarche « Municipalités amies des aînés » et le soutien aux proches aidants. Enfin, trois articles Hors thème complètent ce numéro. Le premier traite de la séparation conjugale ; le deuxième du soutien parental dont bénéficient des jeunes trans ; le dernier s’intéresse aux relations de jeunes adultes ayant été exposés à de la violence conjugale dans leur enfance ou adolescence
