Lead Story Smoking changes adaptive immunity with persistent effects Nature There is significant variability in immune response across the population, some of which is related to age, sex, and genetics, but this study examines other factors that may be related to immune response. Notably, the authors found that smoking affected both innate and adaptive immune response, and that the associations were consistent across number of years smoking and number of cigarettes. The effect on innate immune response was short-term, with immune response returning to levels comparable to non-smokers after quitting. The effect on adaptive immunity, however, was long-term and persisted even after quitting — the result of DNA methylation changes. These findings have clinical implications regarding risk of infection, cancer, and autoimmune disease in persons who smoke. Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

There are multiple studies that have confirmed the incredible link between the health of our microbiome - the trillions of organisms that live in our digestive tract - and our likelihood of getting viral diseases like COVID-19. A lifestyle of low fiber diets, processed foods, little connection with nature and overuse of pharmaceuticals messes up the microbiome and makes us more susceptible to viruses than we naturally would be.There is a solution to this, though: our microbiome is constantly evolving, which means we can nurture it back to health if we are struggling and we can protect it and make it even stronger even when we are well and want to stay well.My guest today, Dr. Robynne Chutkan is a board-certified gastroenterologist and author of the bestselling digestive health books Gutbliss: The Microbiome Solution, and The Bloat Cure. In her latest book, The Anti-Viral Gut: Tackling Pathogens from the Inside Out, Dr. Chutkan shares new insights and cutting edge research about our gut and our health, as well as a practical plan for strengthening the incredible antiviral defenses located in our gut and resolving symptoms of illness.Dr. Chutkan received her bachelor's from Yale University and her medical degree from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, where she also did her internship and residency and served as chief resident. She completed her fellowship in gastroenterology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Dr. Chutkan has been on the faculty at Georgetown University Hospital since 1997. In 2004 she founded the Digestive Center for Wellness, an integrative gastroenterology practice dedicated to uncovering the root cause of GI disorders.Dr. Chutkan incorporates microbial optimization, nutritional therapy, mind-body techniques, and lifestyle changes into her therapeutic approach to digestive disorders. Dr. Chutkan has been the medical expert on The Today Show, CBS This Morning, The Doctors, The Dr. Oz Show, The Megyn Kelly Show, and has her own PBS Special entitled “Gutbliss”.Today she will share with us her powerful and practical road map to strengthening the gut immune system.In this episode with Dr. Robynne Chutkan, you'll discover:-Social factors that inspired Robynne to write her latest book...04:30-Acid-blocking drugs compromise our immune system and gut health...09:06-The explanation of the gut and its role in our health...13:07-Innate and adaptive immunity within our bodies...22:05-Recommended tests to assess the health of your gut...30:30-A primer on the virome which allows billions of active viruses to coexist in harmony...38:10-First steps to take control of your gut and overall health...44:30-A "dirty" approach to using nature to optimize your health...47:30-Dr. Chutkan's best personal practice...54:50-And much more!Resources mentioned:Dr. Chutkan's websiteThe Anti-Viral Gut: Tackling Pathogens from the Inside OutThis Week in Virology podcastGuest's social handles:FacebookInstagramYouTube

Today Dr. Rountree and Kristi discuss a 2020 study on laser therapy and its mechanisms of “undoing” inflammatory arthritis and juvenile arthritis. Inflammatory arthritis is just one form of arthritis and it stems from an overabundance of cellular inflammatory signals without proper counterbalance of signaling. Cytokine signaling and T-cell function skew toward inflammation and tissue destruction rather than repair and healing. Laser therapy is an excellent tool for arthritis as it provides cells with photons for energy, stimulating the cellular mechanisms for repair and rejuvenation and reducing the inflammatory over-reaction.

Infectious diseases have profound influences on the evolution of their host populations. In the case of humans, the host species has also shaped pathogen dynamics and virulence via a multitude of factors from changes in social organization, group size, and exploitation of varied habitats and their animals and plant resources to agriculture, technology, rapid long-distance travel, medicine and global economic integration - which all continue to shape epidemics and the human host populations.

When he was a graduate student, Dr. Ruslan Medzhitov read a theory written by Dr. Charles Janeway that foresaw the existence of a set of receptors that would directly detect pathogens and signal to T- and B-cells to generate an immune response (adaptive immunity). Medzhitov was determined to find such receptors! In this discovery talk, Dr. Ruslan Medzhitov provides a historical perspective that frames his involvement in the discovery of Toll-Like Receptors. By following the clue that NF-kB was involved in the immune response, he searched for receptors, like Toll, that had the capacity to activate NF-kB.

Over the next 500 years, the medical attempts to understand and treat this new disease -- syphilis -- would mold and shape medicine in surprising ways. In this episode, Tony Breu and I will perform an historical and physiological biography of syphilis, covering the development of germ theory, epic poetry, mercury saunas, intentionally infecting patients with malaria, magic bullets, and lots and lots of experiments on poor rabbits. This presentation was performed live at the American College of Physicians’ national meeting in Philadelphia on April 11, 2019.

Commentary by Dr. Valentin Fuster
“Being Immune to something doesn‘t mean you don‘t interact with it anymore, it means your body processes it so quickly that you don‘t have physical symptoms. Its as if your body is mastering that illness, the same process happens with your emotional system!"

CRISPR/Cas is the prokaryotic adaptive immune response to viral invasion. Its mechanism is reminiscent of the eukaryotic RNA interference. The host actively incorporates short sequences from invading genetic elements (viruses or plasmids) into a region of its genome that is characterized by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) and a number of CRISPR-associated (cas) genes. The molecular memory of previous infections can be transcribed and processed into small RNAs (crRNAs) that guide a multiprotein–nucleic acid interference complex to recognize and cleave incoming foreign genetic material. Three pathways (I, II, III) are defined by their protein machinery and target specificity (DNA vs. RNA). In types I and III, the main protagonist of the interference complex is the Cas7 protein. Up to six copies of Cas7 constitute the complex’s main building block that assembles around the crRNA and provides a platform for protein interactions and target binding. During my PhD work, I solved the crystal structures of two Cas7 orthologs from different archaeal species, at 1.8 Å for Thermofilum pendens (Tp) Csc2 and at 2.37 Å for Meth- anopyrus kandleri (Mk) Csm3. The crystal structures of Mk Csm3 and Tp Csc2 were solved by experimental phasing and revealed a core RRM-like domain with a β1-α1-β2-β3-α2-β4 arrangement of secondary structure elements. The core is flanked by three peripheral domains that are defined by insertions within the core. Structural superposition of the RRM-like core domains of Mk Csm3 and Tp Csc2 with the representatives of other Cas families (5/6/7) revealed the highest homology beyond the RRM with a Cas7 family homolog. Thus I showed that Cas7 family proteins share equivalent insertions, forming homologous peripheral domains. Using the information obtained from structural data, I investigated the RNA binding properties Mk Csm3, Tp Csc2 and a Cas7 protein from subtype I-A, Thermoproteus tenax (Tt) Csa2. All orthologs bound RNA in a sequence-independent manner, according to their physiological function of spacer binding. Furthermore, a combined approach consisting of mutation analysis, UV-based protein–RNA crosslinking, mass spectrometry and fluorescence anisotropy mapped the RNA interacting regions to two structurally highly conserved positively charged surfaces. Taken together, this thesis describes a comprehensive structural study of the Cas7 family, defining the family’s structural features. These structural data from single proteins and the mapped RNA binding interfaces agree with protein–RNA interactions observed in the Escherichia coli interference complex.
Most kidney disorders involve some degree of inflammation, i.e. induction of pro-inflammatory mediators and leukocyte recruitment. But what are the factors that determine inflammation as a trigger or a consequence of kidney injury? Which types of renal inflammation can be targeted by the novel more selective immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory agents? How to dissect the mechanisms behind innate and adaptive immune responses that are orchestrated inside or outside the kidney but both cause renal immunopathology i.e. renal inflammation? How to dissect leukocytic cell infiltrates into pro-inflammatory leukocytes from anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative leukocytes? How to dissect leukocytes that support epithelial repair from those that promote renal fibrosis. The term `renal inflammation' has moved far beyond the descriptive category of `mixed leukocytic cell infiltrates' as commonly described in kidney biopsies. It is time to face the complexity of renal inflammation to finally benefit from the new age of novel immunomodulatory medicines.
Professor Richard Cornall tells us about his research on autoimmunity. Professor Richard Cornall aims to understand the causes of autoimmune diseases. Autoimmunity occurs when the immune system which is normally designed to attack pathogens ends up attacking the body. Professor Cornall is also interested in how people differ in their inherited susceptibility and why these differences are sustained in human populations by natural selection.
