Hypothesis : GSDM pyroptosis is a parasite window for Eosinophils

Hypothesis:
Parasitic cell death through inflammasome which create GSDM pores are not just  to release il-1Beta but a 10-20 nm window revealing a piece of the parasite which also sticks to GSDM for IgE antibody binding triggering Eosinophils .

3 types of inflammasomes (wiki)
NLRP1 which forms when lethal toxins detected
NLRP3 which forms when PAMPS whole pathogens or microbial toxins are detected
IPAF which forms when flagellins are detected

The inflammasomes are active caspase-1  which cleave and create GSDM.  Groups of which form the pores at the cells plasma membrane.

GSDM also binds cardolipin on parasites/mycobacteria/gram positive bacteria which would cause them to plug up the GSDM pore.

Hypothesis: using Human protein atlas : GSDM expression changes based on hormone

GSDMA  IGF-1 of skin and umbilical cord 

GSDMB growth hormone of the lungs and peyer patches (colon/intestine)

GSDMC has been linked to diabetes. The spleen grows into pancreas and it is in this area that insulin is high.

Note that this fits with il-5 not just triggering differentiation of eosinophils but switching the dimer IgA to the monomer form with tends to come from bone marrow. (at the mucosal region)

so during a T gondii infection damaged epithelial cells would release il-33 which triggers TH2 to make il-5 and il-13.  il-33 would trigger the trogocytosis of mhc with bacteria from the cytosol to basophils who would then show Th2.

Eosinophis would then use Fc antibody binding to phagocytosis infected cells which it would then internally destroy them.  The IgA antibody would would bind through the GSDM pore on cells that had cytosolic receptors (nods) triggered by t. gondii.

https://academic.oup.com/intimm/article/30/9/391/4946541

TSLP thymic stromal lymphopoietin creates the langerhans and converts th2 into Tfh.

What still needs to be elucidated is the relationship of the inflammasome with the GSDM pore. If the main purpose of the pore is to serve as a window to infections then the the virally triggered inflammasomes favor apoptosis not GSDM.

The AIM2 inflammasome appears to be connected to nuclear infections which would suggest that no GSDM pore would be formed since the infection is not in the cytosol.  The NLRP3 inflammasomes on the other had seems to sway between apoptosis and pyroptosis.

Viral infections tend to end with apoptosis while parasitic/bacterial  infections need to end with pyroptosis.

Perhaps with different IFN triggered receptors (IFN Beta or IFN lambda) the NLRP3 inflammasome behaves differently?

IFNbeta receptors trigger caspase 8. FasL triggers caspase 8 too.

Cytosol receptors and IFNbeta (still working on this)

contemplating follicular T cells and B7-2

The B7 ligands inform the T cell which pathway to take: to become follicular T cells or to become regulator Tcells  then as a T follicular to find a B cell to make antibodies. B7 when binding CTL-4 can also slowly stop the reactions.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3089765/

B7-2 is on Langerhans, medial zone B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells which bring the antigens to the lymph or spleen

B7-1 is on the follicular B cell that presents to the follicular T cell that with TCR stimulation activates the T cell and Icos is expressed.

(B7-1 is also on activated T cells and activated macrophages)

Pd-L is increased with ifn gamma on cd4 and cd8 cells so they can interact with the myeloid or plasmacytoid dendritic cells.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29743314

The notion that B7-2 tells the T cells to become follicular is logistical. The antigen carrier wearing B7-2 informs the T cell that we have the antigen so please find an antigen presenter, a B cell and make antibodies with them.

in the absence of additional dendritic/antigen carrying cells  the T cells having seen APC can't make il-21 ( become follicular?)

How do B cells see the antigen for internal antigens? SCS macrophages are key



When you separate the inner and outer antigen pathways you can see where B cells become antigen presenters themselves but how do they see the antigens and make the proper antibody when the TCR of T cells are critical ?




In these scenarios we have left out the macrophages.  The SCS macrophages display viruses and antigens but macrophages are the "second stimulators".  They keep T cells activated and I believe they might also show the viral antigen to B cells that have been activated.



The macrophages are required for GC formation:

LEC educates on local antigens before allowing cells into lymph gland

LEC educates on local antigens before allowing cells into lymph gland

Tolerance is the "self education" given the B and T cells. B cells have been taught the external antigens in the bone marrow while T cells have learned the internal DNA/RNA antigens in the thymus. These self educations where all genes are expressed are called Central Tolerance.

Peripheral Tolerance is given to B and T cells by the gatekeeper cells of the lymph glands: the Lymphatic Endothelial cells.  Lymphatic endothelial cells express the tissue specific genes of the cells of their area. They also sample and wear the antigens commonly found in their area.


These lymphatic endothelial cells will only allow in T and B cells that do not react with the self antigens specific to the tissues of the of the peripheral area into the lymph gland.  (B cells are hypothesized to be educated too but this is not proven)

Current ideology is that if we can get antigens from a transplanted organ into the LEC tolerance to the transplanted organ will occur. The question is how is this done exactly and how often do LEC update their antigens.
