Abstract
Background Several studies have assessed the diagnostic accuracy of pleural fluid soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) for tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) but with varied results. Therefore, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the accuracy of sIL-2R for TPE. Methods PubMed, Ovid, and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to 23 March 2021 to identify eligible studies concerning the diagnostic accuracy of fluid sIL-2R for TPE. The sensitivity and specificity of sIL-2R for TPE were pooled with a bivariate model. We estimated the global diagnostic accuracy of PE sIL-2R with a summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC) curve. The revised Quality Assessment for Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool (QUADAS-2) was used to assess the quality of eligible studies. Results A total of nine studies with 270 TPEs and 586 non-TPEs were included in the final analysis. The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.81 (95% CI: 0.76–0.86) and 0.92 (95% CI: 0.77–0.98), respectively. The area under the sROC curve (AUC) was 0.82 (95% CI: 0.79–0.86). No significant publication bias was observed. Conclusions Pleural fluid sIL-2R is a useful diagnostic marker for TPE. However, the diagnostic accuracies of already available biomarkers such as pleural fluid adenosine deaminase, interferon-γ, and interleukin-27 appear to be superior relative to sIL-2R. Therefore, it might not be preferable to use sIL-2R for diagnosing TPE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the serum levels of IL-27 and the percentages of IL-27-producing cells in MG patients with positive acetylcholine receptor antibody (AChR-MG). METHODS A total of 17 AChR-MG patients and 22 sex- and age- matched healthy controls (HCs) were recruited. Serum IL-27 levels were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The percentages of IL-27+ cells, IL-27-producing T (CD3+IL-27+) cells, and IL-27-producing B (CD19+IL-27+) cells were measured by flow cytometry. RESULTS Serum IL-27 levels in AChR-MG were significantly higher than those in HCs (13.44 ± 0.89 vs 7.14 ± 0.75 pg/mL, P < 0.0001), and were decreased after intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment (P = 0.004). Moreover, the frequencies of IL-27+ lymphocytes were significantly elevated in AChR-MG patients than those in HCs (P = 0.011), and were decreased after IVIG treatment (P = 0.014). Furthermore, the frequencies of IL-27-producing T cells (P = 0.017) and IL-27-producing B cells (P = 0.015) were significantly elevated in AChR-MG patients as compared to those in HCs. Meanwhile, we observed positive correlations between the frequencies of IL-27+ lymphocytes and MG-ADL score (P = 0.030, r = 0.527). By contrast, no significant correlation was found between IL and 27 serum levels and MG-ADL score (P = 0.099, r = -0.414). CONCLUSION IL-27 may play an important role in the pathological process in AChR-MG patients, and the frequencies of IL-27-producing (CD3+IL-27+) T cells may be a potential biomarker for predicting the severity of AChR-MG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pleural fibrosis is defined as excessive depositions of matrix components that result in pleural tissue architecture destruction and dysfunction. In severe cases, the progression of pleural fibrosis leads to lung entrapment, resulting in dyspnea and respiratory failure. However, the mechanism of pleural fibrosis is poorly understood. METHODS miR-4739 levels were detected by miRNA array and real-time PCR. Real-time PCR, western blotting and immunofluorescence were used to identify the expression profile of indicators related to fibrosis. Target gene of miR-4739 and promoter activity assay was measured by using dual-luciferase reporter assay system. In vivo, pleural fibrosis was evaluated by Masson staining and miR-4739 level was detected by In situ hybridization histochemistry. FINDINGS We found that bleomycin induced up-regulation of miR-4739 in pleural mesothelial cells (PMCs). Over-regulated miR-4739 mediated mesothelial-mesenchymal transition and increased collagen-I synthesis in PMCs. Investigation on the clinical specimens revealed that high levels of miR-4739 and low levels of bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7) associated with pleural fibrosis in patients. Then we next identified that miR-4739 targeted and down-regulated BMP-7 which further resulted in unbalance between Smad1/5/9 and Smad2/3 signaling. Lastly, in vivo studies revealed that miR-4739 over-expression induced pleural fibrosis, and exogenous BMP-7 prevented pleural fibrosis in mice. INTERPRETATION Our data indicated that miR-4739 targets BMP-7 which mediates pleural fibrosis. The miR-4739/BMP-7 axis is a promising therapeutic target for the disease.

Abstract
T helper (Th)22 and Th17 cells are implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of types of cancer. However, the function of Th22 and Th17 cells in malignant ascites (MA) remains unknown. The present study aimed at examining the distribution, phenotypes, recruitment, and prognostic value of Th22 and Th17 cells in MA from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A total of 26 patients with HCC with MA and 15 healthy controls were included in the present study. The proportion of Th22 cells, Th17 cells, C-C motif chemokine receptor (CCR)4, CCR6 and CCR10 were examined using flow cytometry. Interleukin (IL-)22, IL-17, C-C motif chemokine ligand (CCL)20, CCL22 and CCL27 were investigated using ELISA. In addition, the chemoattractant activity of chemokines for Th22 and Th17 cells in vitro were examined via a chemotaxis assay. The results of the present study demonstrated that Th22 cells, Th17 cells, IL-22 and IL-17 were significantly increased in MA compared with the corresponding blood and peripheral blood from healthy controls. Additionally, Th22 cells expressed increased concentrations of CCR6, CCR4 and CCR10, and Th17 cells expressed increased concentrations of CCR4 and CCR6 in MA compared with the corresponding blood. The chemotaxis assay revealed that CCL20/CCR6, CCL22/CCR4 and CCL27/CCR10 were responsible for the recruitment of Th22 cells into MA, whereas CCL22/CCR4 was responsible for the recruitment of Th17 cells. Furthermore, the patients with an increased number of Th17 cells exhibited an increased survival time compared with patients with a limited number of Th17 cells. Th22 and Th17 cells serve an important function in the development of MA, and the accumulation of Th22 and Th17 cells in MA may be due to a local increase in proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Increased Th17 cell numbers in MA may indicate the improvement of patient survival.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic value of T cells spot test (T-Spot TB) combined with interferon-γ (INF-γ) and interleukin-27 (IL-27) in tuberculous pleurisy. Sixty patients with tuberculous pleurisy (observation group) and 60 patients with non-tuberculous pleurisy (control group) were enrolled in this study. T-Spot TB was performed to detect the pleural effusion of two groups of patients. Levels of IFN-γ and IL-27 in serum and pleural effusion were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Relative expression of IFN-γ mRNA and IL-27 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were detected by RT-PCR. Positive rate of T-Spot TB in observation group was 96.7% (58 cases), which was significantly higher than that in control group (p<0.05). Concentration of INF-γ in pleural effusion of observation group was 468.6±24.8 ng/l, which was significantly higher than that in control group (131.3±18.7 ng/l, p<0.05). Concentration of IL-27 in pleural effusion of observation group was 423.4±37.2 ng/l, which was significantly higher than that in control group (116.2±15.5 ng/l, p<0.05). Concentrations of INF-γ and IL-27 in serum of observation group were 48.2±13.4 and 41.7±10.6 ng/l, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in control group (38.6±11.2 and 35.3±8.4 ng/l, p<0.05). Relative expression levels of INF-γ mRNA and IL-27 mRNA in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group (p<0.05). Therefore, combination of T-Spot TB with INF-γ and IL-27 has significant application value in the clinical diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy, and should be popularized.

Abstract
Interleukin-17 (IL-17), IL-21, IL-22 and IL-23 can be grouped as T helper 17 (Th17)-related cytokines because they are either produced by Th17/Th22 cells or involved in their development. Here, we review Th17-related cytokines/Th17-like cells, networks/signals and their roles in immune responses or immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. Published studies suggest that Th17-related cytokine pathways may be manipulated by Mtb microorganisms for their survival benefits in primary tuberculosis (TB). In addition, there is evidence that immune responses of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signal pathway and Th17-like T-cell subsets are dysregulated or destroyed in patients with TB. Furthermore, Mtb infection can impact upstream cytokines in the STAT3 pathway of Th17-like responses. Based on these findings, we discuss the need for future studies and the rationale for targeting Th17-related cytokines/signals as a potential adjunctive treatment.

Abstract
The numbers of IL-27+ CD4+ and IL-27+ CD8+ T cells have been found to be increased in tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) as compared with malignant pleural effusion (MPE). The objective of the present study was to investigate whether pleural IL-27+ CD4+ and IL-27+ CD8+ T cells can distinguish patients with TPE from those with MPE. Paired specimen of pleural fluid and peripheral blood were collected from 35 patients with TPE and 46 MPE. The numbers of IL-27+ CD4+ and IL-27+ CD8+ T cells were simultaneously determined by flow cytometry. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to evaluate the capacity of IL-27+ CD4+ and IL-27+ CD8+ T cells to differentiate TPE from MPE. The sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of IL-27+ CD4+ T cells were 94.3%, 93.5%, 14.46, 0.06, 91.7%, and 95.6%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, PLR, NLR, PPV and NPV of IL-27+ CD8+ T cells were 80.0%, 93.5%, 12.27, 0.21, 90.3% and 86.0%, respectively. The number of IL-27+ CD4+ in pleural fluid is a helpful diagnostic biomarker for the diagnosis of TPE, which performs better than that of IL-27+ CD8+ T cells.
