Macrophage-derived IL-27 sustains autoreactive CD8+ cytotoxic T cells in autoimmune hepatitis

Kaiyuan Hao, Sofia Grace Baptista, Aurora Beaumond…·Siva Karthik Varanasi

This study identifies a mechanism by which macrophage-derived IL-27 sustains autoreactive CD8+ T cells in autoimmune hepatitis through a local progenitor-to-effector pipeline.

Endothelial Cell Expression of STINGV154M Gain-of-Function Mutation Delays the Resolution of UVB-induced Skin Injury

Jane Chuprin, Carolina Salomão Lopes, Kevin MingJie Gao…·Mehdi Rashighi

This study shows that endothelial cells with a STINGV154M mutation cause persistent skin inflammation after UVB exposure, linking STING activation to impaired myeloid cell recruitment and delayed inflammation resolution.

IFNγ initiates TLR9-dependent autoimmune hepatitis in DNase II deficient mice

Kaiyuan Hao, Kevin MingJie Gao, M. J. Strauss…·Ann Marshak‐Rothstein

This study shows that IFNγ initiates TLR9-dependent autoimmune hepatitis in DNase II deficient mice by promoting monocyte recruitment and lymphocyte activation.
