Abstract:
The H5N1 avian panzootic has resulted in cross-species transmission to birds and mammals, causing outbreaks in wildlife, poultry, and US dairy cattle with a range of host-dependent pathogenic outcomes. Although no human-to-human transmission has been observed, the rising number of zoonotic human cases creates opportunities for adaptive mutation or reassortment. This Gem explores the history, evolution, virology, and epidemiology of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 relative to its pandemic potential. Pandemic risk reduction measures are urgently required.

Abstract:
The exposome is the measure of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. Exposomics is the emerging field of research to measure and study the totality of the exposome. Exposomics can assist with molecular medicine by furthering our understanding of how the exposome influences cellular and molecular processes such as gene expression, epigenetic modifications, metabolic pathways, and immune responses. These molecular alterations can aid as biomarkers for the diagnosis, disease prediction, early detection, and treatment and offering new avenues for personalized medicine. Advances in high throughput omics and other technologies as well as increased computational analytics is enabling comprehensive measurement and sophisticated analysis of the exposome to elucidate their cumulative and combined impacts on health, which can enable individuals, communities, and policymakers to create programs, policies, and protections that promote healthier environments and people. This review provides an overview of the potential role of exposomics in molecular medicine, covering its history, methodologies, current research and applications, and future directions.

Abstract:
Ixodes scapularis is a primary vector of tick-borne pathogens in North America. Repeated exposure to these ticks can induce a humoral response to tick antigens and acquired tick resistance. However, identifying antigens contributing to this resistance is challenging because of the vast number of I. scapularis proteins secreted during feeding. To address this, we developed I. scapularis rapid extracellular antigen monitoring (IscREAM), a technique to detect antibody responses to more than 3000 tick antigens. We validated IscREAM with immunoglobulin G (IgG) from guinea pigs vaccinated with tick antigens, including a cement antigen cocktail that induced tick resistance. Furthermore, we explored the natural response to tick bites by profiling antigens recognized by IgG isolated from a tick-resistant individual, as well as from others with Lyme disease and tick-bitten guinea pigs and mice, to identify 199 recognized antigens. We observed that several antigens contained histamine-binding domains. This work enhances our understanding of the host immune response to I. scapularis and defines immunogen candidates for future antitick vaccines.

Abstract:
Aging is associated with increased variability and dysregulation of the immune system. We performed a system-level analysis of serum cytokines in a longitudinal cohort of 133 healthy individuals over 9 y. We found that cancer incidence is a major contributor to increased cytokine abundance variability. Circulating cytokines increase up to 4 y before a cancer diagnosis in subjects with age over 80 y. We also analyzed cytokine expression in 10 types of early-stage cancers from The Cancer Genome Atlas. We found that a similar set of cytokines is upregulated in tumor tissues, specifically after the age of 80 y. Similarly, cellular senescence activity and CDKN1A/p21 expression increase with age in cancer tissues. Finally, we demonstrated that the cytokine levels in serum can be used to predict cancers among subjects age at 80+ y. Our results suggest that latent senescent cancers contribute to age-related chronic inflammation.

Abstract:
The four dengue virus serotypes (DENV1-4) and the related Zika flavivirus (ZIKV) are major public health concerns worldwide. Primary immunity against ZIKV increases the risk of a subsequent severe DENV2 infection, presenting a significant challenge for developing safe and effective ZIKV vaccines. However, the mechanisms driving this phenomenon remain unclear. Leveraging our long-standing Pediatric Dengue Cohort Study in Nicaragua, we show that serum anti-NS1 IgA antibodies elicited after a primary ZIKV infection drive neutrophil activation and correlate with increased risk of subsequent severe DENV2 disease. Depletion experiments combined with ex vivo functional NETosis assays confirmed that anti-NS1 IgA antibodies drive neutrophil activation in dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome (DHF/DSS). Moreover, increased neutrophil degranulation in paired serum samples obtained during the acute DENV2 infection from the same individuals correlated with IgA binding to DENV2 NS1 and preceded the development of vascular leakage. This finding was corroborated in an orthogonal hospital-based study. Thus, serum anti-NS1 IgA enhances neutrophil activation in severe dengue, with implications for prognostics, therapeutics, and vaccines.

Abstract:
Alterations of gene expression by miRNAs contribute substantially to genetic regulation and cellular functions. We conducted a comprehensive study in 53 individuals before and after seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine to characterize lymphocyte-specific miRNA expression (in purified B cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and NK cells) and its effect on influenza vaccine-induced immune outcomes (hemagglutination inhibition antibody titers/HAI, viral neutralizing antibody titers /VNA, and memory B cell ELISPOT). Overall, we observed relatively stable miRNA expression before and after influenza vaccination. Statistical analysis uncovered three baseline miRNAs (miR-150-3p, miR-629-5p, and miR-4443) that were significantly correlated with influenza vaccine-induced immune outcomes in different cell types. Predictive modeling of influenza vaccine-induced HAI/VNA titers identified a set of specific baseline miRNAs in CD4+ T cells as factors predictive of antibody responses. A pathway enrichment analysis on the putative target genes revealed several regulated signaling pathways and functions: TGF-β signaling, PI3K-Akt signaling, p53 signaling, MAPK signaling, TNF signaling, and C-type lectin receptor signaling, as well as cell adhesion and adherens junctions, and antiviral host response. In conclusion, our study offers evidence for the role of epigenetic modification (miRNAs) on influenza vaccine-induced immunity. After validation, identified miRNAs may serve as potential biomarkers of immune response after influenza vaccination.

Abstract:
Public antibodies that recognize conserved epitopes are critical for vaccine development, and identifying somatic hypermutations (SHMs) that enhance antigen affinity in these public responses is key to guiding vaccine design for better protection. We propose that affinity-enhancing SHMs are selectively enriched in public antibody clonotypes, surpassing the background frequency seen in antibodies carrying the same V genes, but with different epitope specificities. Employing a human IGHV4-59/IGKV3-20 public antibody as a model, we compare SHM signatures in antibodies also using these V genes, but recognizing other epitopes. Critically, this comparison identified clonotype-enriched mutations in the light chain. Our analyses also show that these SHMs, in combination, enhance binding to a previously uncharacterized viral epitope, with antibody responses to it increasing after multiple vaccinations. Our findings offer a framework for identifying affinity-enhancing SHMs in public antibodies based on convergence and clonotype-enrichment and can help guide vaccine design aimed to elicit public antibodies.

Abstract:
While the public health burden of SARS-CoV-2 infection has lessened due to natural and vaccine-acquired immunity, the emergence of less virulent variants, and antiviral medications, COVID-19 continues to take a significant toll. There are > 10,000 new hospitalizations per week in the U.S., many of whom develop post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), or "long COVID", with long-term health issues and compromised quality of life. Early identification of individuals at high risk of severe COVID-19 is key for monitoring and supporting respiratory status and improving outcomes. Therefore, precision tools for early detection of patients at high risk of severe disease can reduce morbidity and mortality. Here we report an untargeted and longitudinal metabolomic study of plasma derived from adult patients with COVID-19. One-carbon metabolism, a pathway previously shown as critical for viral propagation and disease progression, and a potential target for COVID-19 treatment, scored strongly as differentially abundant in patients with severe COVID-19. A follow-up targeted metabolite profiling revealed that one arm of the one-carbon metabolism pathway, the methionine cycle, is a major driver of the metabolic profile associated with disease severity. The methionine cycle produces S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), the methyl group donor important for methylation of DNA, RNA, and proteins, and its high abundance was reported to correlate with disease severity. Further, genomic data from the profiled patients revealed a genetic contributor to methionine metabolism and identified the C677T allele of the MTHFR gene as a pre-existing predictor of disease trajectory - patients homozygous for the MTHFR C677T have higher incidence of experiencing severe disease. Our results raise the possibility that screening for the common genetic MTHFR variant may be an actionable approach to stratify risk of COVID severity and may inform novel precision COVID-19 treatment strategies.

Abstract:
[{'@Label': 'BACKGROUND', '@NlmCategory': 'BACKGROUND', '#text': 'Dengue is the most prevalent mosquito-borne viral disease and a major public health problem worldwide. Most primary infections with the four dengue virus serotypes (DENV1-4) are inapparent; nonetheless, whether the distribution of symptomatic versus inapparent infections by serotype varies remains unknown. Here, we present (1) the evaluation of a DENV1-4 envelope domain III multiplex microsphere-based assay (EDIII-MMBA) to serotype inapparent primary infections and (2) its application leveraging 17 years of prospective sample collection from the Nicaraguan Pediatric Dengue Cohort Study (PDCS).'}, {'@Label': 'METHODS', '@NlmCategory': 'METHODS', '#text': 'We analysed primary DENV infections in the PDCS from 2004 to 2022 detected by inhibition ELISA (iELISA) or RT-PCR.

Next, we analysed a subset of inapparent primary DENV infections in the PDCS with the EDIII-MMBA to evaluate the epidemiology of inapparent infections. Remaining infections were inferred using stochastic imputation, taking year and neighbourhood into account. Infection incidence and percentage of inapparent, symptomatic, and severe infections were analysed by serotype.'}, {'@Label': 'FINDINGS', '@NlmCategory': 'RESULTS', '#text': 'Between Aug 30, 2004, and March 10, 2022, a total of 5931 DENV-naive participants were followed in the PDCS.

The EDIII-MMBA demonstrated excellent overall accuracy (100%, 95% CI 95·8-100) for serotyping inapparent primary DENV infections when evaluated against gold-standard serotyping methods. Of the 1244 inapparent infections, we analysed 574 (46%) using the EDIII-MMBA. We found that the majority of primary infections were inapparent, with DENV3 exhibiting the highest likelihood of symptomatic (pooled odds ratio compared with DENV1: 2·13, 95% CI 1·28-3·56) and severe (6·75, 2·01-22·62) primary infections, whereas DENV2 was similar to DENV1 in both analyses.
