Cancer cell plasticity and MHC-II–mediated immune tolerance promote breast cancer metastasis to lymph nodes

Lei et al. uncover that a subpopulation of breast cancer cells in the lymph node is marked by MHC-II expression in the absence of costimulatory molecules, which

Our August cover shows a sagittal plane confocal image of a naive knee from CX3CR1-eGFP Ly6G-tdTomato double reporter mouse containing resident macrophages and no neutrophils (pan-macrophage CD68, cyan; lining macrophage VSIG4, magenta; CX3CR1, orange; nuclei, gray).
Zec et al. show that macrophages in the synovial lining niche initiate neutrophil recruitment and articular inflammation (https://rupress.org/jem/article/220/8/e20220595/214068/Macrophages-in-the-synovial-lining-niche-initiate).

Macrophages in the synovial lining niche initiate neutrophil recruitment and articular inflammation | Journal of Experimental Medicine | Rockefeller University Press

Using antigen-induced arthritis (AIA) model, Zec et al. show that synovial lining macrophages undergo IRF5-dependent activation and produce CXCL1 as a result of

Oral TRM reactivation elicits gingival inflammation. Our July cover shows increased OT-I T cells (white) and pan-leukocytes (red) in buccal mucosa of a novel viral-prime, epitope-pull (VPEP) mouse model, after oral SIIN peptide swabbing. Nuclear and E-Cadherin staining are in green and purple, respectively.

On our June cover: DNASE1/DNASE1L3 double-knockout (DKO) mice were infected with S. aureus, and their kidneys were examined by immunohistochemistry 72 h later. Sections were stained with DAPI and antibodies against S. aureus (green) and Ly-6G (red). Shown is a low magnification of the entire kidney. From Lacey and colleagues: (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20221086).

Secreted mammalian DNases protect against systemic bacterial infection by digesting biofilms

Extracellular nucleases of the DNASE1 family are conserved in vertebrates, yet their physiological function remains unclear. This study shows that DNASE1 and it

On our May cover: Qin et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20220776) develop a genome-editing tool that combines the versatility of prime editors and unconstrained PAM requirement of SpRY, which is able to rescue retina functionality and restore vision in mice. The cover shows a section of a Pde6bT to C mouse retina immunostained for GFP (green), rhodopsin (red), and nuclei (blue).

On our April cover: Petkova et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20220741) identify a new Ptx3-positive immunoregulatory subtype of lymphatic endothelial cells, iLECs, that drive oncogenic PI3K-driven lymphatic malformations. The cover shows a developing dermal venule lesion in a Pik3ca transgenic mouse. The image has been modified by the JEM editorial office.

Gut microbiota biofilms: From regulatory mechanisms to therapeutic targets.

In this Viewpoint, Andre Buret and Thibault Allain discuss the mechanisms that regulate gut microbiota biofilms integrity and highlight the importance of studying phenotypic biofilm damage, beyond the characterization of relative bacterial abundance. https://rupress.org/jem/article/220/3/e20221743/213820/Gut-microbiota-biofilms-From-regulatory-mechanisms?utm_source=mastodon
