Description
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are abundant in humans and recognize conserved bacterial antigens derived from riboflavin precursors, presented by the non-polymorphic MHC class I-like molecule MR1. Here, we show via transcriptomic analysis that human MAIT cells are remarkably oligoclonal in both blood and liver, display high inter-individual homology, and exhibit a restricted length CDR3ß domain of the TCRVß chain. We extend this analysis to a second sub-population of MAIT cells expressing a semi-invariant TCR conserved between individuals. Overall design: Study of CDR3 regions of TCRalpha and beta sequences
Publication Title
Parallel T-cell cloning and deep sequencing of human MAIT cells reveal stable oligoclonal TCRβ repertoire.

Description
Dendritic cells (DCs) are critical in mediating immunity to pathogens, vaccines, tumors and tolerance to self. Significant progress has been made in the study of DC subsets in murine models but the translation of these findings to human DC immunobiology has not been fully realized. Murine splenic CD8+ DC and CD103+ DC possess potent antigen cross-presenting capacity. Although recent evidence points to human blood CD141+ DCs as the functional equivalent of CD8+ DC, the precise identity of the human migratory cross-presenting DC has remained elusive. We performed phenotypic and functional analyses to interrogate the DC compartment of human non-lymphoid tissues and identified three distinct subsets: i) CD141high DCs, ii) CD1c DCs and iii) CD14+ DCs. Only CD141high DCs were capable of cross-presenting soluble antigen. Comparative transcriptome analysis of steady state monocyte and DC subsets between mouse and human confirmed conservation between species, aligning the following subsets together: i) human CD141high DCs with mouse CD8+ and CD103+ DCs, ii) human CD1c+ DCs with mouse CD4+ DCs and iii) human CD14+ DC with mouse monocyte subsets. The lack of positive association between human CD1c+ DCs and mouse non-lymphoid tissue CD11b+ DCs highlights heterogeneity and predicts the existence of a monocyte-like cell within the CD11b+ DCs.

Description
A catalytic role has been proposed in neoplastic angiogenesis and cancer progression for bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). However, in preclinical and clinical studies the quantitative role of marrow-derived EPCs in cancer vascularization was found to be extremely variable. Adipose tissue represents an attractive source of autologous adult stem cells due to its abundance and surgical accessibility. CD34+cells from Lipotransfer aspirates (LAs) of patients undergoing breast reconstruction after breast cancer surgery were compared with CD34+ cells from Leucapheresis of normal subjects.
Publication Title
The white adipose tissue used in lipotransfer procedures is a rich reservoir of CD34+ progenitors able to promote cancer progression.
