    Beschreibung: Most herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) reactivations in humans are subclinical and associated with rapid expansion and containment of virus. Previous studies have shown that CD8(+) T cells persist in genital skin and mucosa at the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ)--the portal of neuronal release of reactivating virus--for prolonged time periods after herpes lesions are cleared. The phenotype and function of this persistent CD8(+) T-cell population remain unknown. Here, using cell-type-specific laser capture microdissection, transcriptional profiling and T-cell antigen receptor beta-chain (TCRbeta) genotyping on sequential genital skin biopsies, we show that CD8alphaalpha(+) T cells are the dominant resident population of DEJ CD8(+) T cells that persist at the site of previous HSV-2 reactivation. CD8alphaalpha(+) T cells located at the DEJ lack chemokine-receptor expression required for lymphocyte egress and recirculation, express gene signatures of T-cell activation and antiviral activity, and produce cytolytic granules during clinical and virological quiescent time periods. Sequencing of the TCR beta-chain repertoire reveals that the DEJ CD8alphaalpha(+) T cells are oligoclonal with diverse usage of TCR variable-beta genes, which differ from those commonly described for mucosa-associated invariant T cells and natural killer T cells. Dominant clonotypes are shown to overlap among multiple recurrences over a period of two-and-a-half years. Episodes of rapid asymptomatic HSV-2 containment were also associated with a high CD8 effector-to-target ratio and focal enrichment of CD8alphaalpha(+) T cells. These studies indicate that DEJ CD8alphaalpha(+) T cells are tissue-resident cells that seem to have a fundamental role in immune surveillance and in initial containment of HSV-2 reactivation in human peripheral tissue. Elicitation of CD8alphaalpha(+) T cells may be a critical component for developing effective vaccines against skin and mucosal infections.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3663925/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3663925/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zhu, Jia -- Peng, Tao -- Johnston, Christine -- Phasouk, Khamsone -- Kask, Angela S -- Klock, Alexis -- Jin, Lei -- Diem, Kurt -- Koelle, David M -- Wald, Anna -- Robins, Harlan -- Corey, Lawrence -- P01 AI030731/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01AI030731/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI042528/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI094019/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01AI04252815/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R37 AI042528/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R37AI042528/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R56 AI093746/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R56AI093746/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 May 23;497(7450):494-7. doi: 10.1038/nature12110.

    Beschreibung: Therapies that target the programmed death-1 (PD-1) receptor have shown unprecedented rates of durable clinical responses in patients with various cancer types. One mechanism by which cancer tissues limit the host immune response is via upregulation of PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) and its ligation to PD-1 on antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells (termed adaptive immune resistance). Here we show that pre-existing CD8(+) T cells distinctly located at the invasive tumour margin are associated with expression of the PD-1/PD-L1 immune inhibitory axis and may predict response to therapy. We analysed samples from 46 patients with metastatic melanoma obtained before and during anti-PD-1 therapy (pembrolizumab) using quantitative immunohistochemistry, quantitative multiplex immunofluorescence, and next-generation sequencing for T-cell antigen receptors (TCRs). In serially sampled tumours, patients responding to treatment showed proliferation of intratumoral CD8(+) T cells that directly correlated with radiographic reduction in tumour size. Pre-treatment samples obtained from responding patients showed higher numbers of CD8-, PD-1- and PD-L1-expressing cells at the invasive tumour margin and inside tumours, with close proximity between PD-1 and PD-L1, and a more clonal TCR repertoire. Using multivariate analysis, we established a predictive model based on CD8 expression at the invasive margin and validated the model in an independent cohort of 15 patients. Our findings indicate that tumour regression after therapeutic PD-1 blockade requires pre-existing CD8(+) T cells that are negatively regulated by PD-1/PD-L1-mediated adaptive immune resistance.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4246418/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4246418/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tumeh, Paul C -- Harview, Christina L -- Yearley, Jennifer H -- Shintaku, I Peter -- Taylor, Emma J M -- Robert, Lidia -- Chmielowski, Bartosz -- Spasic, Marko -- Henry, Gina -- Ciobanu, Voicu -- West, Alisha N -- Carmona, Manuel -- Kivork, Christine -- Seja, Elizabeth -- Cherry, Grace -- Gutierrez, Antonio J -- Grogan, Tristan R -- Mateus, Christine -- Tomasic, Gorana -- Glaspy, John A -- Emerson, Ryan O -- Robins, Harlan -- Pierce, Robert H -- Elashoff, David A -- Robert, Caroline -- Ribas, Antoni -- K08 AI091663/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA168585/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA16042/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA170689/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U54 CA119347/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- UL1TR000124/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2014 Nov 27;515(7528):568-71. doi: 10.1038/nature13954.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉1] University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Los Angeles, California 90095, USA [2] Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, Los Angeles, California 90095, USA. ; University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Los Angeles, California 90095, USA. ; Merck &Co, Palo Alto, California 94304, USA. ; Gustave Roussy and INSERM U981, Villejuif, Paris Sud, France. ; Adaptive Biotechnologies, Seattle, Washington 98102, USA. ; 1] Adaptive Biotechnologies, Seattle, Washington 98102, USA [2] Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, Washington 98109, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25428505" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Beschreibung: The basis of this study comprises 540 geochemically analysed samples collected systematically from eighteen stratigraphic sections (2257 m in total length) through the submarine volcanic rocks of the tectonically separated Hooggenoeg, Kromberg and Mendon Complexes in the southwestern part of the Paleoarchean Barberton Greenstone Belt. The lavas are predominantly high- to low-MgO tholeiitic basalts but include minor komatiite and komatiitic basalt. They are non-deformed and preserve delicate igneous textures, but have been allochemically altered and regionally metamorphosed. Comparison of pillow cores and rims, samples from massive flows and interelement correlations demonstrate that Ti, Al, Cr, V, Nb, Ta, Zr, Hf, Y, Pb, Th and the REE were relatively immobile during alteration and hence preserve geochemical evidence bearing on the origin and tectonic setting of the lavas. Chondrite-normalized REE patterns are slightly LREE depleted in komatiite to slightly LREE enriched in basalts. MORB-normalized values of non-conservative elements (Cs, Ba, Pb, Th) are high relative to conservative elements (Ta, Nb, Zr, Hf, Y, HREE) in all of the volcanic rocks, particularly those of the Hooggenoeg Complex. Most of the samples exhibit enrichment of Cs and Ba, Pb anomalies and depletion in Nb and Ta, consistent with a subduction-related oceanic environment. With the exception of the lavas of the Hooggenoeg Complex, using primordial mantle (PM) values for normalisation generally subdues the enrichments of the non-conservative elements seen in MORB-normalised multi-element diagrams. However, negative Nb and Ta anomalies relative to La remain significant. High Ba/Th ratios indicate relatively shallow level enrichment of the magma source in large ion lithophile elements by aqueous fluids, whilst enhanced Th concentrations reflect deeper partial melting. Estimated subduction related contributions to Th vary in the ca. 2700 m thick section of the Hooggenoeg Complex and suggest changes in the depth to the subducting slab, which may relate to variation in the subduction angle in the course of ca. 10 million years. Nd(T) values suggest earlier melt extraction and possible incorporation of older crustal material, probably subducted clastic sediments. Our inferred model for the formation of the Upper Onverwacht Suite, based on the lithological and structural development of the lavas and their geochemistry invokes eruption in intra-oceanic back-arc basins and volcanic island arcs. Magmas were generated by variable degrees of partial melting at different depths and temperatures of metasomatised mantle above subducting and dehydrating oceanic lithosphere, and were subsequently modified by fractional crystallization and hybridization. In terms of MORB-and PM-normalised multi-element patterns, as well as Nd-isotope ratios, the volcanic rocks of the Onverwacht Suite are comparable with the west Pacific-Indonesian arc systems.

    Beschreibung: The carrier concentration in as-grown ensembles of n-type GaN nanowires was determined by Raman spectroscopy of the coupled longitudinal phonon–plasmon (LPP+) mode and modeling of the carrier concentration dependence of the LPP+ frequency. The Raman measurements and analyses enabled estimation of the carrier concentration in single-nanowire devices fabricated from the as-grown ensembles. The nanowires were grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy in either of the two growth systems. Twelve samples were examined, of which 11 samples were Si-doped and one was undoped. The Raman-measured carrier concentrations in the Si-doped samples ranged from (5.28 ± 1.19) × 10 16  cm −3 to (6.16 ± 0.35) × 10 17  cm −3 . For a subset of samples grown with varying Si cell temperature, from 1125 °C to 1175 °C, the carrier concentration was found to be an Arrhenius function of Si cell temperature, with activation energy of 6.281 ± 0.011   eV . Co-illumination by an above band gap UV laser (325 nm, excitation intensity = 0.7 W/cm 2 or 4.5 W/cm 2 ) induced small increases in carrier concentration, relative to illumination by the Raman excitation laser alone (633 nm, excitation intensity ≈100 kW/cm 2 ). The lowest Si-doped sample showed the largest increase in carrier concentration, (6.3 ± 4.8) × 10 15  cm −3 with UV excitation intensity of 0.7 W/cm 2 . These results imply that, even in the absence of UV illumination, surface depletion does not have a significant effect on the Raman carrier concentration measurements. Immersion in a high-dielectric-constant oil (ε = 2.24) caused downshifts of similar magnitude in the LPP+ frequencies of undoped and doped nanowires. This result implies that the LPP+ mode has bulk plasmon rather than surface plasmon character, because immersion in a high-dielectric-constant medium is predicted to cause a large decrease in the surface plasmon frequency, which would induce a larger LPP+ downshift in doped than undoped nanowires. A surface optical (SO) phonon peak was observed in each sample in air at ≈96.4% of the LPP+ frequency. The SO frequency decreased to ≈93.1% of the LPP+ frequency upon oil immersion, as predicted by a simple dielectric model.

    Beschreibung: The purpose of the proposed web server, publicly available at http://paccmit.epfl.ch , is to provide a user-friendly interface to two algorithms for predicting messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules regulated by microRNAs: (i) PACCMIT (Prediction of ACcessible and/or Conserved MIcroRNA Targets), which identifies primarily mRNA transcripts targeted in their 3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs), and (ii) PACCMIT-CDS, designed to find mRNAs targeted within their coding sequences (CDSs). While PACCMIT belongs among the accurate algorithms for predicting conserved microRNA targets in the 3' UTRs, the main contribution of the web server is 2-fold: PACCMIT provides an accurate tool for predicting targets also of weakly conserved or non-conserved microRNAs, whereas PACCMIT-CDS addresses the lack of similar portals adapted specifically for targets in CDS. The web server asks the user for microRNAs and mRNAs to be analyzed, accesses the precomputed P -values for all microRNA–mRNA pairs from a database for all mRNAs and microRNAs in a given species, ranks the predicted microRNA–mRNA pairs, evaluates their significance according to the false discovery rate and finally displays the predictions in a tabular form. The results are also available for download in several standard formats.
