Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is an intestinal disease with complicated pathological mechanisms. The incidence of IBD has been increasing in recent years, which has a significant negative impact on the lives of patients. Therefore, it is particularly important to find new therapeutic targets and innovative drugs for the development of IBD. Recent studies have revealed that NLRP3 inflammatory vesicles can play an important role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis and sustaining the intestinal immune response in IBD. On the one hand, aberrant activation of NLRP3 inflammatory vesicles may cause excessive immune response by converting caspase-1, proIL-18, and proIL-1β to their active forms and releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines to stimulate the development and progression of IBD, and we can improve IBD by targeting blockade of NLRP3 activation. On the other hand, NLRP3 may also play an enter protective role by maintaining the homeostasis of the intestinal immune system. In this paper, we reviewed the activation mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome, and the effects of NLRP3 inflammasome activation on IBD are discussed from two different perspectives: pathology and protection. At the same time, we listed the effects of direct inhibitors, indirect inhibitors, and natural inhibitors of NLRP3 inflammasome on IBD in combination with cutting-edge advances and clinical practice results, providing new targets and new ideas for the clinical treatment of IBD.

[PMID: 36519571 PMCID: PMC9829477 DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00191.2022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Although physiological responses to hemorrhage are well-studied, hemorrhage is often accompanied by trauma, and it remains unclear how injury affects these responses. This study examined effects of extremity trauma on cardiorespiratory responses and survival to moderate (37%; H-37) or severe (50%; H-50) hemorrhage in rats. Transmitter and carotid catheter implantation and extremity trauma (fibular fracture and muscle injury) were conducted 2 wk, 24 h, and 90 min, respectively, before conscious hemorrhage. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR; via telemetry), and respiration rate (RR), minute volume (MV), and tidal volume (TV; via plethysmography) were measured throughout the 25 min hemorrhage and remainder of the 4 h observation period. There were four groups: 1) H-37, no trauma (NT; n = 17); 2) H-37, extremity trauma (T, n = 18); 3) H-50, NT (n = 20); and 4) H-50, T (n = 20). For H-37, during and after hemorrhage, T increased HR (P ≤ 0.031) and MV (P ≤ 0.048) compared with NT rats. During H-50, T increased HR (0.041) and MV (P = 0.043). After hemorrhage, T increased MV (P = 0.008) but decreased HR (P = 0.007) and MAP (P = 0.039). All cardiorespiratory differences between T and NT groups were intermittent. Importantly, both survival time (159.8 ± 78.2 min vs. 211.9 ± 60.3 min; P = 0.022; mean ± SD) and percent survival (45% vs. 80%; P = 0.048) were less in T versus NT rats after H-50. Trauma interacts with physiological systems in a complex manner and no single cardiorespiratory measure was sufficiently altered to indicate that it alone could account for increased mortality after H-50.NEW & NOTEWORTHY In both civilian and military settings, severe hemorrhage rarely occurs in the absence of tissue trauma, yet many animal models for the study of hemorrhage do not include significant tissue trauma. This study using conscious unrestrained rats clearly demonstrates that extremity trauma worsens the probability of survival after a severe hemorrhage. Although no single cardiorespiratory factor accounted for the increased mortality, multiple modest time-related cardiorespiratory responses to the trauma were observed suggesting that their combined dysfunction may have contributed to the reduced survival.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a high-risk disease in the middle-aged and elderly population. The ischemic heart may be further damaged after reperfusion therapy with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and other methods, namely, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI), which further affects revascularization and hinders patient rehabilitation. Therefore, the investigation of new therapies against MIRI has drawn great global attention. Within the long history of the prevention and treatment of MIRI, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has increasingly been recognized by the scientific community for its multi-component and multi-target effects. These multi-target effects provide a conspicuous advantage to the anti-MIRI of TCM to overcome the shortcomings of single-component drugs, thereby pointing toward a novel avenue for the treatment of MIRI. However, very few reviews have summarized the currently available anti-MIRI of TCM. Therefore, a systematic data mining of TCM for protecting against MIRI will certainly accelerate the processes of drug discovery and help to identify safe candidates with synergistic formulations. The present review aims to describe TCM-based research in MIRI treatment through electronic retrieval of articles, patents, and ethnopharmacology documents. This review reported the progress of research on the active ingredients, efficacy, and underlying mechanism of anti-MIRI in TCM and TCM formulas, provided scientific support to the clinical use of TCM in the treatment of MIRI, and revealed the corresponding clinical significance and development prospects of TCM in treating MIRI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the association between new inflammatory indicators at admission and the occurrence of preoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with patella fractures. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the medical records of patients aged 18 years or older who underwent surgical treatment for unilateral closed patella fractures at our hospital between August 2016 and August 2020. The incidence of preoperative DVT was detected by Duplex ultrasound (DUS). Partial blood routine and biochemical indexes were collected at admission, and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) of inflammatory indexes were also calculated. ROC was used to analyze the cut-off value NLR, MLR, and PLR for predicting preoperative DVT, and univariate and multivariate analyses of the risk factors for preoperative DVT of patella fractures, and to verify whether other risk factors affecting the relationship between validation indexes and preoperative DVT. RESULTS A total of 500 patients were included, of which 39 patients (7.8%) developed preoperative DVT. After univariate and multivariate analysis, preoperative time (in each day delay), male (vs. female), D-dimer > 0.6 mg/L, total cholesterol (TC) > 5.6 mmol/L, and PLR > 189.8 were the risk factors for preoperative DVT in patients with patella fracture. Inflammation index PLR combined with the other four risk factors significantly improved the predictive efficacy of preoperative DVT compared with PLR (P = 0.009). CONCLUSION Inflammatory index PLR is a risk factor for preoperative DVT in patients with patella fracture, and the efficacy of PLR in predicting DVT can be significantly improved when other risk factors (male, D-dimer > 0.6 mg/L, TC > 5.6 mmol/L, and PLR > 189.8 of preoperative time in each day delay) are combined. These data are useful for the clinical identification of patients at high risk of preoperative DVT in patella fractures.

Characterization of IMG Microglial Cell Line as a Valuable In Vitro Tool for NLRP3 Inflammasome Studies. Cell Mol Neurobiol 2022:10.1007/s10571-022-01285-6.

Abstract
Microglial cells constantly surveil the cerebral microenvironment and become activated following injury and disease to mediate inflammatory responses. The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-, leucine-rich repeat-, and pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, which is abundantly expressed in microglial cells, plays a key role in these responses as well as in the development of many neurological disorders. Microglial cell lines are a valuable tool to study the causes and possible treatments for neurological diseases which are linked to inflammation. Here, we investigated whether the mouse microglial cell line IMG is suitable to study NLRP3 inflammasome by incubating cells with different concentrations of NLRP3 inflammasome priming and activating agents lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and ATP, respectively, and applying short (4 h) or long (24 h) LPS incubation times. After short LPS incubation, the mRNA levels of most pro-inflammatory and NLRP3 inflammasome-associated genes were more upregulated than after long incubation. Moreover, the combination of higher LPS and ATP concentrations with short incubation time resulted in greater levels of active forms of caspase-1 and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) proteins than low LPS and ATP concentrations or long incubation time. We also demonstrated that treatment with NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor glibenclamide suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activation in IMG cells, as illustrated by the downregulation of gasdermin D N-fragment and mature caspase-1 and IL-1β protein levels. In addition, we conducted similar experiments with primary microglial cells and BV-2 cell line to determine the similarities and differences in their responses. Overall, our results indicate that IMG cell line could be a valuable tool for NLRP3 inflammasome studies. In IMG cells, 4-h incubation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces a stronger upregulation of NLRP3 inflammasome-associated pro-inflammatory genes compared to 24-h incubation. NLRP3 inflammasome is robustly activated only after the addition of 3 mM of ATP following short LPS incubation time.

Abstract
Arsenic exerts neurotoxicity and immunomodulatory effects. Studies have shown that the nervous system is not considered to be an immune-privileged site. However, the effect of arsenic-induced neuroimmune toxicity has rarely been reported. We aimed to investigate the toxic effects of arsenic on the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and the Th1/Th2/Th17/Treg balance in the brain tissue of mice. Mice were exposed to NaAsO2 (0, 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg) for 24 h. Our results showed that 10 mg/kg arsenic exposure significantly decreased brain and hippocampal indices (p < 0.05). The mRNA and protein levels of the blood‒brain barrier (BBB) tight junction protein occludin were decreased in the 5 and 10 mg/kg arsenic-treated groups. Compared with those in the control group, NLRP3 protein levels in 10 mg/kg arsenic-treated mice, caspase-1 protein levels in 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg arsenic-treated mice, and IL-1β protein levels in 5 and 10 mg/kg arsenic-treated mice were increased in the hippocampus (p < 0.05). In addition, arsenic induced a hippocampal inflammatory response by upregulating the mRNA levels of the proinflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α and downregulating the mRNA level of the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10. Moreover, arsenic decreased the mRNA levels of the Th1 and Th2 transcription factors T-bet and GATA3 and the cytokines IFN-γ and IL-4 and increased the mRNA levels of the Th17 transcription factor RORγt and the cytokine IL-22 (p < 0.05). Collectively, our study demonstrated that arsenic could induce immune-inflammatory responses by regulating the NLRP3 inflammasome and CD4+ T lymphocyte differentiation. These results provide a novel strategy to block the arsenic-induced impairment of neuroimmune responses.

Abstract
Purpose It is now known that traumatic injury initiates a complex and dynamic immune response on the first day. It is believed that in patients with polytrauma, these immune responses contribute to the development of infectious complications. Therefore, understanding the immune response to trauma is critical to improving patient outcomes through the development of new therapies and improved resuscitation strategies. The purpose of this study is to examine the parameters of immunity in patients with severe polytrauma at the stages of surgical treatment (the nearest post-traumatic period and long-term periods) in the absence and presence of purulent-inflammatory complications. Methods We retrospectively enrolled 188 patients after severely injured trauma and 210 control group at two Level-1 Trauma Centers. Peripheral blood was collected upon presentation to the hospital and at the following time points: 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 30, 60 and 90 days, and daily during intensive care unit admission. T-lymphocytes analyses performed using a Beckman Coulter EPICS XL flow cytometer (USA) with monoclonal antibodies (Immunotech, France). Analyses of protein levels of cytokines/chemokines, immunoglobulins, and circulating immune complexes was using ELISA. Results Under the influence of trauma, the content of T lymphocytes decreased due to the population of T-helpers. However, the number of B lymphocytes increased. The most pronounced activation of humoral immunity was observed by the 30th day of the post-traumatic period. Concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a), interleukin-10 (IL-10) on day 1 after injury were the highest. Later, in the post-traumatic period, a gradual decrease in the initially elevated cytokines was noted. Conclusions As we continue to extrapolate new information on immune response factors associated with polytrauma, we will be better equipped to develop new therapeutic strategies to treat this serious clinical and social problem. In addition, individually adjusted immune control is an important interactive concept in polytrauma management.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock (HS) is a shock result of hypovolemic injury, in which the innate immune response plays a central role in the pathophysiology ofthe severe complications and organ injury in surviving patients. During the development of HS, innate immunity acts as the first line of defense, mediating a rapid response to pathogens or danger signals through pattern recognition receptors. The early and exaggerated activation of innate immunity, which is widespread in patients with HS, results in systemic inflammation, cytokine storm, and excessive activation of complement factors and innate immune cells, comprised of type II innate lymphoid cells, CD4+ T cells, natural killer cells, eosinophils, basophils, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells. Recently, compelling evidence focusing on the innate immune regulation in preclinical and clinical studies promises new treatment avenues to reverse or minimize HS-induced tissue injury, organ dysfunction, and ultimately mortality. In this review, we first discuss the innate immune response involved in HS injury, and then systematically detail the cutting-edge therapeutic strategies in the past decade regarding the innate immune regulation in this field; these strategies include the use of mesenchymal stem cells, exosomes, genetic approaches, antibody therapy, small molecule inhibitors, natural medicine, mesenteric lymph drainage, vagus nerve stimulation, hormones, glycoproteins, and others. We also reviewed the available clinical studies on immune regulation for treating HS and assessed the potential of immune regulation concerning a translation from basic research to clinical practice. Combining therapeutic strategies with an improved understanding of how the innate immune system responds to HS could help to identify and develop targeted therapeutic modalities that mitigate severe organ dysfunction, improve patient outcomes, and reduce mortality due to HS injury.

Abstract
Pyroptosis defines a new type of GSDMs-mediated programmed cell death, distinguishes from the classical concepts of apoptosis and necrosis-mediated cell death and is prescribed by cell swelling and membrane denaturation, leading to the extensive secretion of cellular components and low-grade inflammatory response. However, NLRP3 inflammasome activation can trigger its downstream inflammatory cytokines, leading to the activation of pyroptosis-regulated cell death. Current studies reveal that activation of caspase-4/5/11-driven non-canonical inflammasome signaling pathways facilitates the pathogenesis and progression of acute pancreatitis (AP). In addition, a large number of studies have reported that NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent pyroptosis is a crucial player in driving the course of the pathogenesis of AP. Excessive uncontrolled GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis has been implicated in AP. Therefore, the pyroptosis-related molecule GSDMD may be an independent prognostic biomarker for AP. The present review paper summarizes the molecular mechanisms of pyroptotic signaling pathways and their pathophysiological impacts on the progress of AP. Moreover, we briefly present some experimental compounds targeting pyroptosis-regulated cell death for exploring novel therapeutic directions for the treatment and management of AP. Our review investigations strongly suggest that targeting pyroptosis could be an ideal therapeutic approach in AP.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in various complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Rivaroxaban (Xarelto; Bayer), an oral direct factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor, prevents the activation of the coagulation cascade in CVD. Considering its anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory effects, we assessed the hypothesis that rivaroxaban treatment may attenuate the vascular lesion and dysfunction in T2DM mice. C57BL/6, BKS-db/db, BKS-db/+, wild-type (WT), and NLRP3-/- mice were fed with standard chow or high-fat diet (HFD). Biochemical indexes, vascular lesions, and protein expression were evaluated using Western blot analysis, immunofluorescent staining, and RNA interference. Rivaroxaban presented favorable protection of vascular dysfunction in T2DM mice with significantly relieved vascular tension, intima-media thickness, and collagen deposition. Similar improvements in NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) knockout groups and rivaroxaban pointed to the positive role of rivaroxaban against vascular dysfunction in diabetic mice by ameliorating NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Furthermore, the augmentation of inflammation and cell dysfunction in mice aortic endothelial cells (MAECs) and smooth muscle cells (MOVASs) induced by soluble FXa may be blocked by rivaroxaban via protease-activated receptors (PAR-1, PAR-2), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and nuclear factor κ-B (NF-κB) pathway. The data indicate that the development of vascular dysfunction and inflammation in T2DM mice may be blocked by rivaroxaban in vivo and in vitro. Rivaroxaban treatment may also attenuate NLRP3 inflammasome activation via PARs, MAPK, and NF-κB pathway. This study provides mechanistic evidence of rivaroxaban therapies for vascular complications of T2DM.

Comparison of the Anti-inflammatory Properties of Two Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Ligands, Phosphocholine and pCF3-diEPP. Front Cell Neurosci 2022; 16:779081. [PMID: 35431807 PMCID: PMC9008208 DOI: 10.3389/fncel.2022.779081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) expressed by innate immune cells can attenuate pro-inflammatory responses. Silent nAChR agonists, which down-modulate inflammation but have little or no ionotropic activity, are of outstanding clinical interest for the prevention and therapy of numerous inflammatory diseases. Here, we compare two silent nAChR agonists, phosphocholine, which is known to interact with nAChR subunits α7, α9, and α10, and pCF3-N,N-diethyl-N′-phenyl-piperazine (pCF3-diEPP), a previously identified α7 nAChR silent agonist, regarding their anti-inflammatory properties and their effects on ionotropic nAChR functions. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced release of interleukin (IL)-6 by primary murine macrophages was inhibited by pCF3-diEPP, while phosphocholine was ineffective presumably because of instability. In human whole blood cultures pCF3-diEPP inhibited the LPS-induced secretion of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β. The ATP-mediated release of IL-1β by LPS-primed human peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes, monocytic THP-1 cells and THP-1-derived M1-like macrophages was reduced by both phosphocholine and femtomolar concentrations of pCF3-diEPP. These effects were sensitive to mecamylamine and to conopeptides RgIA4 and [V11L; V16D]ArIB, suggesting the involvement of nAChR subunits α7, α9 and/or α10. In two-electrode voltage-clamp measurements pCF3-diEPP functioned as a partial agonist and a strong desensitizer of classical human α9 and α9α10 nAChRs. Interestingly, pCF3-diEPP was more effective as an ionotropic agonist at these nAChRs than at α7 nAChR. In conclusion, phosphocholine and pCF3-diEPP are potent agonists at unconventional nAChRs expressed by monocytic and macrophage-like cells. pCF3-diEPP inhibits the LPS-induced release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, while phosphocholine is ineffective. However, both agonists signal via nAChR subunits α7, α9 and/or α10 to efficiently down-modulate the ATP-induced release of IL-1β. Compared to phosphocholine, pCF3-diEPP is expected to have better pharmacological properties. Thus, low concentrations of pCF3-diEPP may be a therapeutic option for the treatment of inflammatory diseases including trauma-induced sterile inflammation.

Abstract
Traumatic hemorrhagic shock (THS) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide in severely injured patients. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess immunomodulatory properties and tissue repair potential mainly through a paracrine pathway mediated by MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs). Interleukin 10 (IL-10) is a potent anti-inflammatory cytokine that plays a crucial role during the inflammatory response, with a broad range of effects on innate and adaptive immunity, preventing damage to the host and maintaining normal tissue homeostasis. However, the function and mechanism of IL-10 in MSC-mediated protective effect in THS remain obscure. Here, we show that MSCs significantly attenuate hepatic injury and inflammation from THS in mice. Notably, these beneficial effects of MSCs disappeared when IL-10 was knocked out in EVs or when recombinant IL-10 was administered to mice. Mechanistically, MSC-EVs function to carry and deliver IL-10 as cargo. WT MSC-EVs restored the function of IL-10 KO MSCs during THS injury. We further demonstrated that EVs containing IL-10 mainly accumulated in the liver during THS, where they were captured by Kupffer cells and induced the expression of PTPN22. These effects subsequently shifted Kupffer cells to an anti-inflammatory phenotype and mitigated liver inflammation and injury. Therefore, our study indicates that MSC-EVs containing IL-10 alleviate THS-induced hepatic injury and may serve as a cell-free therapeutic approach for THS.

Abstract
The brain-lung interaction can seriously affect patients with traumatic brain injury, triggering a vicious cycle that worsens patient prognosis. Although the mechanisms of the interaction are not fully elucidated, several hypotheses, notably the "blast injury" theory or "double hit" model, have been proposed and constitute the basis of its development and progression. The brain and lungs strongly interact via complex pathways from the brain to the lungs but also from the lungs to the brain. The main pulmonary disorders that occur after brain injuries are neurogenic pulmonary edema, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and ventilator-associated pneumonia, and the principal brain disorders after lung injuries include brain hypoxia and intracranial hypertension. All of these conditions are key considerations for management therapies after traumatic brain injury and need exceptional case-by-case monitoring to avoid neurological or pulmonary complications. This review aims to describe the history, pathophysiology, risk factors, characteristics, and complications of brain-lung and lung-brain interactions and the impact of different old and recent modalities of treatment in the context of traumatic brain injury.

Abstract
Central nervous system trauma is a common cause of morbidity and mortality. Additionally, these injuries frequently occur in younger individuals, leading to lifetime expenses for patients and caregivers and the loss of opportunity for society. Despite this prevalence and multiple attempts to design a neuroprotectant, clinical trials for a pharmacological agent for the treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) or spinal cord injury (SCI) have provided disappointing results. Improvements in outcome from these disease processes in the past decades have been largely due to improvements in supportive care. Among the many challenges facing patients and caregivers following neurotrauma, posttraumatic nosocomial infection is a significant and potentially reversible risk factor. Multiple animal and clinical studies have provided evidence of posttraumatic systemic immune suppression, and injuries involving the CNS may be even more prone, leading to a higher risk for in-hospital infections following neurotrauma. Patients who have experienced neurotrauma with nosocomial infection have poorer recovery and higher risks of long-term morbidity and in-hospital mortality than patients without infection. As such, the etiology and reversal of postneurotrauma immune suppression is an important topic. There are multiple possible etiologies for these posttraumatic changes including the release of damage-associated molecular patterns, the activation of immunosuppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and sympathetic nervous system activation. Postinjury systemic immunosuppression, particularly following neurotrauma, provides a challenge for clinicians but also an opportunity for improvement in outcome. In this review, the authors sought to outline the evidence of postinjury systemic immune suppression in both animal models and clinical research of TBI, TBI polytrauma, and SCI.

Abstract
Vascular disease was for a long time considered a disease of the old age, but it is becoming increasingly clear that a cumulus of factors can cause early vascular aging (EVA). Inflammation plays a key role in vascular stiffening and also in other pathologies that induce vascular damage. There is a known and confirmed connection between inflammation and atherosclerosis. However, it has taken a long time to prove the beneficial effects of anti-inflammatory drugs on cardiovascular events. Diabetes can be both a product of inflammation and a cofactor implicated in the progression of vascular disease. When diabetes and inflammation are accompanied by obesity, this ominous trifecta leads to an increased incidence of atherothrombotic events. Research into earlier stages of vascular disease, and documentation of vulnerability to premature vascular disease, might be the key to success in preventing clinical events. Modulation of inflammation, combined with strict control of classical cardiovascular risk factors, seems to be the winning recipe. Identification of population subsets with a successful vascular aging (supernormal vascular aging-SUPERNOVA) pattern could also bring forth novel therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The transfusion of D-negative red blood cells (RBCs) to D-negative patients has been widely adopted to prevent anti-D alloimmunization, especially in women of childbearing age. Still, transfusion of D-positive RBCs to D-negative recipients is occasionally inevitable in practice, and the resulting incidence of anti-D in different D-negative groups of patients has not been well summarized. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched the relevant literature using PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases from inception date to 30 September 2021. We looked for studies of anti-D occurring in D-negative recipients who received D-positive RBC transfusions. The anti-D incidence was summarized with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Data with similar characteristics were combined using a random-effects model. RESULTS About 42 studies (2226 cases), which found anti-D, the exact volume of D-positive RBC transfused, and the follow-up time for anti-D detection, met the inclusion criteria. The pooled anti-D incidence was 64% (95% CI, range 55%-74%) in volunteers receiving small volumes of D-positive RBCs, 84% (95% CI, 74%-94%) in those receiving whole units, 26% (95% CI, 19%-32%) in mixed patients, 12% (95% CI, 8%-16%) in oncology patients, 27% (95% CI, 13%-40%) in trauma patients, 4% (95% CI, 0%-8%) in immune-compromised transplant patients, and 6% (95% CI, 1%-39%) in those with AIDS. CONCLUSION Compared with the high frequency of anti-D in healthy D-negative volunteers given D-positive RBCs, we found a lower rate of anti-D immunization in various D-negative patients and almost none in transplant and AIDS patients.

Abstract
Immune cells and mediators play a crucial role in the critical care setting but are understudied. This review explores the concept of sepsis and/or injury-induced immunosuppression and immuno-inflammatory response in COVID-19 and reiterates the need for more accurate functional immunomonitoring of monocyte and neutrophil function in these critically ill patients. in addition, the feasibility of circulating and cell-surface immune biomarkers as predictors of infection and/or outcome in critically ill patients is explored. It is clear that, for critically ill, one size does not fit all and that immune phenotyping of critically ill patients may allow the development of a more personalized approach with tailored immunotherapy for the specific patient. In addition, at this point in time, caution is advised regarding the quality of evidence of some COVID-19 studies in the literature.

Abstract
Severe injuries, such as burns, provoke a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) that imposes pathology on all organs. Simultaneously, severe injury also elicits activation of the fibrinolytic protease plasmin. While the principal adverse outcome of plasmin activation in severe injury is compromised hemostasis, plasmin also possesses proinflammatory properties. We hypothesized that, following a severe injury, early activation of plasmin drives SIRS. Plasmin activation was measured and related to injury severity, SIRS, coagulopathy, and outcomes prospectively in burn patients who are not at risk of hemorrhage. Patients exhibited early, significant activation of plasmin that correlated with burn severity, cytokines, coagulopathy, and death. Burn with a concomitant, remote muscle injury was employed in mice to determine the role of plasmin in the cytokine storm and inflammatory cascades in injured tissue distant from the burn injury. Genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of plasmin reduced the burn-induced cytokine storm and inflammatory signaling in injured tissue. These findings demonstrate (a) that severe injury-induced plasmin activation is a key pathologic component of the SIRS-driven cytokine storm and SIRS-activated inflammatory cascades in tissues distant from the inciting injury and (b) that targeted inhibition of plasmin activation may be effective for limiting both hemorrhage and tissue-damaging inflammation following injury.

Hepatocytes Are Resistant to Cell Death From Canonical and Non-Canonical Inflammasome-Activated Pyroptosis. Cell Mol Gastroenterol Hepatol 2021; 13:739-757.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pyroptosis, gasdermin-mediated programmed cell death, is readily induced in macrophages by activation of the canonical inflammasome (caspase-1) or by intracellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated non-canonical inflammasome (caspase-11) activation. However, whether pyroptosis is induced similarly in hepatocytes is still largely controversial but highly relevant to liver pathologies such as alcoholic/nonalcoholic liver disease, drug-induced liver injury, ischemia-reperfusion and liver transplant injury, or organ damage secondary to sepsis. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study we found that hepatocytes activate and cleave gasdermin-D (GSDMD) at low levels after treatment with LPS. Overexpression of caspase-1 or caspase-11 p10/p20 activated domains was able to induce typical GSDMD-dependent pyroptosis in hepatocytes both in vitro and in vivo. However, morphologic features of pyroptosis in macrophages (eg, pyroptotic bodies, cell flattening, loss of cell structure) did not occur in pyroptotic hepatocytes, with cell structure remaining relatively intact despite the cell membrane being breached. Our results suggest that hepatocytes activate pyroptosis pathways and cleave GSDMD, but this does not result in cell rupture and confer the same pyroptotic morphologic changes as previously reported in macrophages. This is true even with caspase-1 or caspase-11 artificial overexpression way above levels seen endogenously even after priming or in pathologic conditions. CONCLUSIONS Our novel findings characterize hepatocyte morphology in pyroptosis and suggest alternative use for canonical/non-canonical inflammasome activation/signaling and subsequent GSDMD cleavage because there is no rapid cell death as in macrophages. Improved understanding and recognition of the role of these pathways in hepatocytes may result in novel therapeutics for a range of liver diseases.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Hemorrhagic shock with tissue trauma (HS/T) leads to the activation of a system-wide immune-inflammatory response that involves all organs and body compartments. Recent advances in single-cell analysis permit the simultaneous assessment of transcriptomic patterns in a large number of cells making it feasible to survey the landscape of immune cell responses across numerous anatomic sites. Here, we used single-cell RNA sequencing of leukocytes from the blood, liver, and spleen to identify the major shifts in gene expression by cell type and compartment in a mouse HS/T model. At 6 h, dramatic changes in gene expression were observed across multiple-cell types and in all compartments in wild-type mice. Monocytes from circulation and liver exhibited a significant upregulation of genes associated with chemotaxis and migration and a simultaneous suppression of genes associated with interferon signaling and antigen presentation. In contrast, liver conventional DC exhibited a unique pattern compared with other myeloid cells that included a pronounced increase in major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) gene expression. The dominant pattern across all compartments for B and T cells was a suppression of genes associated with cell activation and signaling after HS/T. Using complement factor 3 (C3) knockout mice we unveiled a role for C3 in the suppression of monocyte Major Histocompatibility Complex class II expression and activation of gene expression associated with migration, phagocytosis and cytokine upregulation, and an unexpected role in promoting interferon-signaling in a subset of B and T cells across all three compartments after HS/T. This transcriptomic landscape study of immune cells provides new insights into the host immune response to trauma, as well as a rich resource for further investigation of trauma-induced immune responses and complement in driving interferon signaling.

Selective Inhibition of IL-6 Trans-Signaling Has No Beneficial Effect on the Posttraumatic Cytokine Release after Multiple Trauma in Mice. Life (Basel) 2021; 11:life11111252.

Abstract
While improvements in pre-hospital and in-hospital care allow more multiple trauma patients to advance to intensive care, the incidence of posttraumatic multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is on the rise. Herein, the influence of a selective IL-6 trans-signaling inhibition on posttraumatic cytokine levels was investigated as an approach to prevent MODS caused by a dysbalanced posttraumatic immune reaction. Therefore, the artificial IL-6 trans-signaling inhibitor sgp130Fc was deployed in a murine multiple trauma model (femoral fracture plus bilateral chest trauma). The traumatized mice were treated with sgp130Fc (FP) and compared to untreated mice (WT) and IL-6 receptor knockout mice (RKO), which received the same traumas. The overall trauma mortality was 4.4%. Microscopic pulmonary changes were apparent after multiple trauma and after isolated bilateral chest trauma. Elevated IL-6, MCP-3 and RANTES plasma levels were measured after trauma, indicating a successful induction of a systemic inflammatory reaction. Significantly reduced IL-6 and RANTES plasma levels were visible in RKO compared to WT. Only a little effect was visible in FP compared to WT. Comparable cytokine levels in WT and FP indicate neither a protective nor an adverse effect of sgp130Fc on the cytokine release after femoral fracture and bilateral chest trauma.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury is caused by mechanical forces impacting the skull and its internal structures and constitutes one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Clinically, severe traumatic brain injury is associated with the development of acute lung injury and so far, few studies have evaluated the cellular, molecular and immunological mechanisms involved in this pathophysiological process. Knowing and investigating these mechanisms allows us to correlate pulmonary injury as a predictor of cerebral hypoxia in traumatic brain injury and to use this finding in decision making during clinical practice. This review aims to provide evidence on the importance of the pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury-acute lung injury, and thus confirm its role as a predictor of cerebral hypoxia, helping to establish an appropriate therapeutic strategy to improve functional outcomes and reduce mortality.

Abstract
Severe trauma is the principal cause of death among young people worldwide. Hemorrhagic shock is the leading cause of death after severe trauma. Traumatic hemorrhagic shock (THS) is a complex phenomenon associating an absolute hypovolemia secondary to a sudden and significant extravascular blood loss, tissue injury, and, eventually, hypoxemia. These phenomena are responsible of secondary injuries such as coagulopathy, endotheliopathy, microcirculation failure, inflammation, and immune activation. Collectively, these dysfunctions lead to secondary organ failures and multi-organ failure (MOF). The development of MOF after severe trauma is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, where immunological dysfunction plays a central role. Damage-associated molecular patterns induce an early and exaggerated activation of innate immunity and a suppression of adaptive immunity. Severe complications are associated with a prolonged and dysregulated immune–inflammatory state. The current challenge in the management of THS patients is preventing organ injury, which currently has no etiological treatment available. Modulating the immune response is a potential therapeutic strategy for preventing the complications of THS. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells found in a large number of adult tissues and used in clinical practice as therapeutic agents for immunomodulation and tissue repair. There is growing evidence that their efficiency is mainly attributed to the secretion of a wide range of bioactive molecules and extracellular vesicles (EVs). Indeed, different experimental studies revealed that MSC-derived EVs (MSC-EVs) could modulate local and systemic deleterious immune response. Therefore, these new cell-free therapeutic products, easily stored and available immediately, represent a tremendous opportunity in the emergency context of shock. In this review, the pathophysiological environment of THS and, in particular, the crosstalk between the immune system and organ function are described. The potential therapeutic benefits of MSCs or their EVs in treating THS are discussed based on the current knowledge. Understanding the key mechanisms of immune deregulation leading to organ damage is a crucial element in order to optimize the preparation of EVs and potentiate their therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Elimination of the posttraumatic inflammatory response and recovery of homeostasis are crucial for the positive prognosis of trauma patients. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are known to play a regulatory role in the posttraumatic immune response in mice, but their induction source and involved potential mechanism are poorly understood. Here, we report that polymorphonuclear MDSCs (PMN-MDSCs) are activated after trauma and are closely associated with the progression of the posttraumatic inflammatory response. In humans, lectin-type oxidized LDL receptor 1 (LOX1) was used to specifically characterize LOX1+ PMN-MDSCs. Trauma patients showed high intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, as well as activation of LOX1+ PMN-MDSCs. These MDSCs contribute to the anti-inflammatory immune response by regulating the Treg/Th17 and Th2/Th1 balances after trauma, increasing the levels of anti-inflammatory factors, and decreasing the levels of proinflammatory factors. The number of LOX1+ PMN-MDSCs was positively correlated with the positive clinical prognosis of trauma patients with infection. Activation of LOX1+ PMN-MDSCs is mediated by NF-κB signal, and TGF-β1 may be as an important inducer for LOX1+ PMN-MDSCs in the posttraumatic cytokine environment. In a pseudofracture trauma mouse model, we also observed the activation of PMN-MDSCs, accompanying high levels of intracellular ROS production, NF-κB phosphorylation, and changes in the inflammatory environment, in particularly by regulating the Treg/Th17 and Th2/Th1 balance. And more significantly, posttraumatic inflammation was alleviated in mice after transferring trauma-derived PMN-MDSCs, but aggravated after injecting with Gr1 agonistic antibody. These findings provide evidence for the specific role of PMN-MDSCs in the regulation of posttraumatic inflammation.

Abstract
Hemophilia A (HA) is a monogenic disease characterized by plasma clotting factor 8 (F8) deficiency due to F8 mutation. We have been attempting to cure HA permanently using a CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing strategy. Here, we induced targeted integration of BDDF8 (B-domain-deleted F8) gene into the albumin locus of HA mice by hydrodynamic tail vein injection of editing plasmid vectors. One week after treatment, a high F8 activity ranging from 70% to 280% of normal serum levels was observed in all treated HA mice but dropped to background levels 3-5 weeks later. We found that the humoral immune reaction targeting F8 is the predominant cause of the decreased F8 activity. We hypothesized that hydrodynamic injection-induced liver damage triggered the release of large quantities of inflammatory cytokines. However, co-injection of plasmids expressing a dozen immunomodulatory factors failed to curtail the immune reaction and stabilize F8 activity. The spCas9 plasmid carrying a miR-142-3p target sequence alleviated the cellular immune response but was unable to deliver therapeutic efficacy. Strikingly, immunosuppressant cyclo-phosphamide virtually abolished the immune response, leading to a year-long stable F8 level. Our findings should have important implications in developing therapies in mouse models using the hydrodynamic gene delivery approach, highlighting the ne-cessity of modulating the innate immune response triggered by liver damage.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen causing life-threatening infections in cystic fibrosis patients and immunocompromised individuals, and it is a leading cause of nosocomial infections associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Treatment of P. aeruginosa infections is challenging due to the antibiotic resistance to most of the conventional antibiotics. Development of alternative therapeutic options is urgently demanded for the patients who have antibiotic-resistant infections. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a clinical history of thousands of years for prevention and treatment of infectious diseases in China, taking advantages of improving clinical outcomes, producing less side effects, inhibiting pathogen, and modulating host immunity. Recent research has revealed a variety of natural products derived from TCM showing significant antimicrobial effects on antibiotic-resistant strains of P. aeruginosa alone or combined with antibiotics in vitro or in animal models, suggesting that TCM is a promising complementary and alternative therapeutic approach for treatment of chronic P. aeruginosa infections. This review summarizes the recent findings attempting to dissect the mechanisms of TCM combating P. aeruginosa infections and highlights the molecular targets of TCM on P. aeruginosa and host.

Abstract
COVID-19 pandemic has proven to be a dramatic challenge, introducing huge clinical differences that demand extensive investigations. Severe and critical patients may present coagulopathies and microthrombi, which results in varied complications, or acute respiratory distress syndrome that leads to fatality. Although the lung to be the major site of clinical manifestations, COVID-19 has shown extrapulmonary manifestations, especially on the heart and kidney, directly linked to worse disease outcomes. According to the fast-moving of clinical description and scientific publications, the injuries in multiple organs and systemic inflammation appear to be caused by a deregulated immune response, and the NLRP3 inflammasome could be a relevant influencer in this imbalance. However, until now, the precise drivers of the pathophysiology of these injuries remain unknown. In this review, we discuss how inflammasome seems to be directly involved in the clinical profile of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and shed light on the mechanisms that lead to fatality.

Clinical relevance for circulating cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) in patients with adult-onset Still's disease. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0255493. [PMID: 34351954 PMCID: PMC8341607 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0255493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Accepted: 07/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is a systemic autoinflammatory disease in which danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs)-mediated inflammasome activation seems to be involved in the disease pathogenesis. Cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) belongs to a family of cold-shock proteins that respond to cellular stress and has been identified as a DAMP that triggers the inflammatory response. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical significance of serum CIRP levels in AOSD. Methods Serum samples were obtained from 44 patients with active AOSD or 50 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 20 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and 15 healthy control patients (HCs). Serum levels of CIRP and IL-18 were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results were compared among AOSD patients, RA patients, SLE patients and HCs. Results were also analyzed according to the clinical features of AOSD. Results Serum CIRP levels were significantly higher in AOSD patients compared with RA patients (median: 9.6 ng/mL, IQR [5.7–14.4] versus 3.2 ng/mL, IQR [1.9–3.8]; p < 0.001) and with HCs (2.8 ng/mL, [IQR; 1.4–4.9], p < 0.001). There was a significant positive correlation between serum CIRP levels and AOSD disease activity score (Pouchot’s score r = 0.45, p = 0.003) as well as between AOSD-specific biomarkers ferritin and IL-18. However, there was no significant difference in the serum CIRP levels among AOSD patients with three different disease phenotypes. Conclusions These results suggest that CIRP may play a significant role in the pathophysiology of AOSD and could be a potential biomarker for monitoring the disease activity of AOSD.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving intervention for patients suffering from respiratory or cardiac failure. The ECMO-associated morbidity and mortality depends to a large extent on the underlying disease and is often related to systemic inflammation, consecutive immune paralysis and sepsis. Here we tested the hypothesis that human α1-antitrypsin (SERPINA1) due to its anti-protease and anti-inflammatory functions may attenuate ECMO-induced inflammation. We specifically aimed to test whether intravenous treatment with α1-antitrypsin reduces the release of cytokines in response to 2 h of experimental ECMO. Adult rats were intravenously infused with α1-antitrypsin immediately before starting veno-arterial ECMO. We measured selected pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and found, that systemic levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 increase during experimental ECMO. As tachycardia and hypertension developed in response to α1-antitrypsin, a single additional bolus of fentanyl and midazolam was given. Treatment with α1-antitrypsin and higher sedative doses reduced all cytokine levels investigated. We suggest that α1-antitrypsin might have the potential to protect against both ECMO-induced systemic inflammation and immune paralysis. More studies are needed to corroborate our findings, to clarify the mechanisms by which α1-antitrypsin inhibits cytokine release in vivo and to explore the potential application of α1-antitrypsin in clinical ECMO.

Abstract
Ginseng, a perennial plant belonging to genus Panax, has been widely used in traditional herbal medicine in East Asia and North America. Ginsenosides are the most important pharmacological component of ginseng. Variabilities in attached positions, inner and outer residues and types of sugar moieties may be associated with the specific pharmacological activities of each ginsenoside. Ginsenoside Rg5 (Rg5) is a minor ginsenoside synthesized during ginseng steaming treatment that exhibits superior pharmaceutical activity compared with major ginsenosides. With high safety and various biological functions, Rg5 may act as a potential therapeutic candidate for diverse diseases. To date, there have been no systematic studies on the activity of Rg5. Therefore, in this review, all available literature was reviewed and discussed to facilitate further research on Rg5.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) triggers both central and peripheral inflammatory responses. Existing pharmacological drugs are unable to effectively and quickly target the brain inflamed regions, setting up a major roadblock towards effective brain trauma treatments. Nanoparticles (NPs) have been used in multiple diseases as drug delivery tools with remarkable success due to their rapid diffusion and specificity in the target organ. Here, leukocyte-based biomimetic NPs are fabricated as a theranostic tool to directly access inflamed regions in a TBI mouse model. This NP systemic delivery is visualized using advanced in vivo imaging techniques, including intravital microscopy and in vivo imaging system. The results demonstrate selective targeting of NPs to the injured brain and increased NPs accumulation among the peripheral organs 24 h after TBI. Interestingly, increased microglial proliferation, decreased macrophage infiltration, and reduced brain lesion following the NPs treatments compared to sham vehicle-treated mice are also found. In summary, the results suggest that NPs represent a promising future theranostic tool for TBI treatment.

Land WG. Role of DAMPs in respiratory virus-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome-with a preliminary reference to SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. Genes Immun 2021; 22:141-160.

Abstract
When surveying the current literature on COVID-19, the "cytokine storm" is considered to be pathogenetically involved in its severe outcomes such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and eventually multiple organ failure. In this review, the similar role of DAMPs is addressed, that is, of those molecules, which operate upstream of the inflammatory pathway by activating those cells, which ultimately release the cytokines. Given the still limited reports on their role in COVID-19, the emerging topic is extended to respiratory viral infections with focus on influenza. At first, a brief introduction is given on the function of various classes of activating DAMPs and counterbalancing suppressing DAMPs (SAMPs) in initiating controlled inflammation-promoting and inflammation-resolving defense responses upon infectious and sterile insults. It is stressed that the excessive emission of DAMPs upon severe injury uncovers their fateful property in triggering dysregulated life-threatening hyperinflammatory responses. Such a scenario may happen when the viral load is too high, for example, in the respiratory tract, "forcing" many virus-infected host cells to decide to commit "suicidal" regulated cell death (e.g., necroptosis, pyroptosis) associated with release of large amounts of DAMPs: an important topic of this review. Ironically, although the aim of this "suicidal" cell death is to save and restore organismal homeostasis, the intrinsic release of excessive amounts of DAMPs leads to those dysregulated hyperinflammatory responses-as typically involved in the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome and systemic inflammatory response syndrome in respiratory viral infections. Consequently, as briefly outlined in this review, these molecules can be considered valuable diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers to monitor and evaluate the course of the viral disorder, in particular, to grasp the eventual transition precociously from a controlled defense response as observed in mild/moderate cases to a dysregulated life-threatening hyperinflammatory response as seen, for example, in severe/fatal COVID-19. Moreover, the pathogenetic involvement of these molecules qualifies them as relevant future therapeutic targets to prevent severe/ fatal outcomes. Finally, a theory is presented proposing that the superimposition of coronavirus-induced DAMPs with non-virus-induced DAMPs from other origins such as air pollution or high age may contribute to severe and fatal courses of coronavirus pneumonia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plasma has been shown to mitigate the endotheliopathy of trauma. Protection of the endothelium may be due in part to fibrinogen and other plasma-derived proteins found in cryoprecipitate; however, the exact mechanisms remain unknown. Clinical trials are underway investigating early cryoprecipitate administration in trauma. In this study, we hypothesize that cryoprecipitate will inhibit endothelial cell (EC) permeability in vitro and will replicate the ability of plasma to attenuate pulmonary vascular permeability and inflammation induced by hemorrhagic shock and trauma (HS/T) in mice. METHODS In vitro, barrier permeability of ECs subjected to thrombin challenge was measured by transendothelial electrical resistance. In vivo, using an established mouse model of HS/T, we compared pulmonary vascular permeability among mice resuscitated with (1) lactated Ringer's solution (LR), (2) fresh frozen plasma (FFP), or (3) cryoprecipitate. Lung tissue from the mice in all groups was analyzed for markers of vascular integrity, inflammation, and inflammatory gene expression via NanoString messenger RNA quantification. RESULTS Cryoprecipitate attenuates EC permeability and EC junctional compromise induced by thrombin in vitro in a dose-dependent fashion. In vivo, resuscitation of HS/T mice with either FFP or cryoprecipitate attenuates pulmonary vascular permeability (sham, 297 ± 155; LR, 848 ± 331; FFP, 379 ± 275; cryoprecipitate, 405 ± 207; p < 0.01, sham vs. LR; p < 0.01, LR vs. FFP; and p < 0.05, LR vs. cryoprecipitate). Lungs from cryoprecipitate- and FFP-treated mice demonstrate decreased lung injury, decreased infiltration of neutrophils and activation of macrophages, and preserved pericyte-endothelial interaction compared with LR-treated mice. Gene analysis of lung tissue from cryoprecipitate- and FFP-treated mice demonstrates decreased inflammatory gene expression, in particular, IL-1β and NLRP3, compared with LR-treated mice. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that cryoprecipitate attenuates the endotheliopathy of trauma in HS/T similar to FFP. Further investigation is warranted on active components and their mechanisms of action.

Abstract
Background Traumatic events are thought to be a cause of acral melanoma. However, little is known about the role of mechanical trauma or physical stress in the development of acral melanoma. Objective In our study, we evaluated the frequency of trauma, physical stress, and occupation in patients with acral melanoma and aimed to identify any pathological correlates of these factors. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 313 acral melanoma patients from Chonnam National University Hospital. We mapped melanoma-developed anatomical sites of acral areas and assessed patients' history of trauma, physical stress, and occupation. Results Among the 313 acral melanoma patients, many reported a traumatic event (84 of 313; 26.8%) or physical stress (91 of 313; 29.1%) before the melanoma developed. The most common anatomical sites in these patients were on the borders of the foot (136 of 313; 43.5%). Trauma was more commonly associated with the fingernails and toenails than other sites. The frequency of each type of physical stress depended on the site of the lesion. Farmer and fisherman were the most common occupations (130 of 313; 41.5%) of the acral melanoma patients. Conclusion Our results demonstrate that traumatic events, physical stress, and certain occupations are common in acral melanomas. Further studies are needed to establish whether these are risk factors for acral melanomas.

Abstract
Pyroptosis, an inflammatory form of programmed cell death, takes an essential part in a wide variety of physiological activities, for instance, implantation, placentation and the body's defense against infection. However, once excessively activated, pyroptosis mediated by the activation of inflammasomes can be highly pathological. It can cause inflammatory and autoimmune diseases including a variety of obstetrical and gynecological diseases, such as endometriosis, gestational diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome, and multiple obstetric complications including preeclampsia. Although the role of pyroptosis in the pathogenesis of the above mentioned diseases has not been fully elucidated, we try to tap its therapeutic potential by targeting pyroptosis signaling and inflammasome formation. Pyroptosis and inflammasomes are confirmed to be involved in endometriosis and gynecological malignant tumors, therefore, medical approachs inducing pyroptosis of the ectopic endometrium and tumor cells can be feasible treatments for endometriosis and gynecological cancers. On the maternal-fetal interface, although a certain level of the innate immune response activation is required for a successful implantation and placentation, maternal and fetal injury may occur once the inflammasomes are over-activated. Besides, since gestational diabetes mellitus and insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome share common pathogenesis with metabolic diseases, this domain research sheds light on future study of some obstetrical and gynecological diseases.

Cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) potentiates uric acid-induced IL-1β production. Arthritis Res Ther 2021; 23:128.

Abstract
Background Gout is an autoinflammatory disease driven by interleukin-1 (IL-1) induction in response to uric acid crystals. IL-1β production is dependent on inflammasome activation, which requires a priming signal, followed by an activating signal. The cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) has been recently identified as a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP). In this study, we evaluated the roles of CIRP in monosodium urate (MSU)-mediated IL-1β secretion using human neutrophils. Methods Human neutrophils were stimulated by MSU in the presence or absence of CIRP priming to determine NLRP3 inflammasome activation and subsequent caspase-1 activation and IL-1β production. Cellular supernatants were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine the presence of IL-1β or caspase-1 (p20). The cellular supernatants and lysates were also analyzed by immunoblotting using anti-cleaved IL-1β or anti-cleaved caspase-1 antibodies. Results Neither CIRP nor MSU stimulation alone induced sufficient IL-1β secretion from neutrophils. However, MSU stimulation induced IL-1β secretion from CIRP-primed neutrophils in a dose-dependent manner. This MSU-induced IL-1β secretion from CIRP-primed neutrophils was accompanied by the induction of cleaved IL-1β (p17), which was inhibited by the pretreatment of MCC950, a specific inhibitor for NLRP3. Furthermore, cleaved caspase-1 was induced in the cellular lysates of CIRP/MSU-treated neutrophils. Additionally, CIRP stimulation induced the protein expression of pro-IL-1β in neutrophils. Conclusions Our data indicate that CIRP, an endogenous stress molecule, triggers uric acid-induced mature IL-1β induction as a priming stimulus for NLRP3 inflammasome in human neutrophils. We propose that CIRP acts as an important proinflammatory stimulant that primes and activates inflammasome and pro-IL-1β processing in response to uric acid in innate immune cells.

Abstract
Objective: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) can lead to acute lung injury (ALI). This study investigated the therapeutic effect of emodin and its molecular mechanisms in a rat model of SAP-ALI. Methods: Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the groups: Control (CON), SAP (SAP), emodin (EMO), and C23 (C23). The latter three groups of rats were induced for SAP-ALI by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the biliary-pancreatic duct and were treated with vehicle, emodin or C23, respectively. One day post induction, their pancreatic and lung injury was assessed by histology and arterial blood gas analysis. In vitro, rat alveolar macrophages (NR8383 cells) were treated with recombinant rat CIRP in the presence or absence of TAK242 (a TLR4 inhibitor), C23 or emodin. The CIRP-mediated activation of the NLRP3/IL-1β/CXCL1 signaling in rat lungs and NR8383 cells was determined. Similarly, the role of IL-1β in the CIRP-induced CXCL1 expression was investigated. Results: Emodin treatment significantly reduced inflammation and tissue damages in the pancreatic and lung tissues in rats with SAP-ALI, accompanied by decreasing serum amylase, CIRP and IL-1β levels and improving lung function. Furthermore, emodin significantly mitigated the SAP-up-regulated CIRP expression in the pancreatic islets and lung tissues, and attenuated the SAP-activated NF-κB signaling, NLRP3 inflammasome formation and CXCL1 expression in lung resident macrophages as well as neutrophil infiltration in the lungs of rats. In addition, treatment with CIRP significantly activated the NF-κB signaling and NLRP3 inflammasome formation and induced IL-1β and CXCL1 expression and pyroptosis in NR8383 cells, which were abrogated by TAK242 and significantly mitigated by C23 or emodin. Moreover, CIRP only induced very lower levels of CXCL1 expression in IL-1β-silencing NR8383 cells and treatment with IL-1β induced CXCL1 expression in NR8383 cells in a dose and time-dependent manner. Conclusion: Emodin may inhibit the CIRP-activated NLRP3/IL-1β/CXCL1signaling to decrease neutrophil infiltration and ameliorate the SAP-ALI in rats.

Abstract
Trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) is caused by post-traumatic tissue injury and manifests as hypercoagulability that leads to thromboembolism or hypocoagulability that leads to uncontrollable massive hemorrhage. Previous studies on TIC have mainly focused on hemorrhagic coagulopathy caused by the hypocoagulable phenotype of TIC, while recent studies have found that trauma-induced hypercoagulopathy can occur in as many as 22.2-85.1% of trauma patients, in whom it can increase the risk of thrombotic events and mortality by 2- to 4-fold. Therefore, the Chinese People's Liberation Army Professional Committee of Critical Care Medicine and the Chinese Society of Thrombosis, Hemostasis and Critical Care, Chinese Medicine Education Association jointly formulated this Chinese Expert Consensus comprising 15 recommendations for the definition, pathophysiological mechanism, assessment, prevention, and treatment of trauma-induced hypercoagulopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondrial function is implicated as a target of environmental toxicants and found in disease or injury models, contributing to acute and chronic inflammation. One mechanism by which mitochondrial damage can propagate inflammation is via activation of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor (NLR) family, pyrin domain-containing receptor (NLRP)3 inflammasome, a protein complex that processes mature interleukin (IL)-1β. IL-1β plays an important role in the innate immune response and dysregulation is associated with autoinflammatory disorders. OBJECTIVE The objective was to evaluate whether mitochondrial toxicants recruit inflammasome activation and IL-1β processing. METHOD Murine macrophages (RAW 264.7) exposed to tri-organotins (triethyltin bromide (TETBr), trimethyltin hydroxide (TMTOH), triphenyltin hydroxide (TPTOH), bis(tributyltin)oxide) [Bis(TBT)Ox] were examined for pro-inflammatory cytokine induction. TMTOH and TETBr were examined in RAW 264.7 and bone marrow-derived macrophages for mitochondrial bioenergetics, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and inflammasome activation via visualization of aggregate formation, caspase-1 flow cytometry, IL-1β enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blots, and microRNA (miRNA) and mRNA arrays. RESULTS TETBr and TMTOH induced inflammasome aggregate formation and IL-1β release in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-primed macrophages. Mitochondrial bioenergetics and mitochondrial ROS were suppressed. Il1a and Il1b induction with LPS or LPS+ATP challenge was diminished. Differential miRNA and mRNA profiles were observed. Lower miR-151-3p targeted cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-mediated and AMP-activated protein kinase signaling pathways; higher miR-6909-5p, miR-7044-5p, and miR-7686-5p targeted Wnt beta-catenin signaling, retinoic acid receptor activation, apoptosis, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, IL-22, IL-12, and IL-10 signaling. Functional enrichment analysis identified apoptosis and cell survival canonical pathways. CONCLUSION Select mitotoxic tri-organotins disrupted murine macrophage transcriptional response to LPS, yet triggered inflammasome activation. The differential response pattern suggested unique functional changes in the inflammatory response that may translate to suppressed host defense or prolong inflammation. We posit a framework to examine immune cell effects of environmental mitotoxic compounds for adverse health outcomes. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP8314.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Trauma is a major cause of death and disability throughout the world. It is a leading cause of death with or without sepsis in about 50% of patients. Limited therapeutic options are available besides definitive care with a mortality benefit. Pre-clinical studies have demonstrated the mortality benefit of estrogen in trauma hemorrhagic shock(THS). Based on encouraging results from pre-clinical studies, we hypothesised that early administration of estrogen in male THS patients may reduce the inflammatory storm, prevent sepsis associated problems, and subsequently reduce mortality. The authors studied the safety of early administration of estrogen as a therapeutic adjunct in the emergency department (ED) and its effects on the inflammatory storm, prevention of sepsis, and mortality during the intensive care unit (ICU) stay. 40, THS patients were recruited. THS patients were divided into experimental and placebo control groups based on the estrogen administration in the ED. Serum levels of cytokines and immune cells were measured at different time points on days 0, 3, 7, and 14 in both groups of THS patients. The experimental group received intravenous estrogen (25 mg) at a single time point in the ED beside standard of care as per advanced trauma life support (ATLS) guidelines. Patients did not develop any major or minor adverse events and showed favorable clinical outcomes in the experimental group. The levels of T regulatory cells, monocytes, and systemic cytokines significantly reduced and showed a balanced inflammatory response in THS patients who received estrogen.In conclusion, this preliminary study showed that intravenous estrogen therapy is safe and reduced the inflammatory insult due to trauma hemorrhagic shock. It may protect THS patients from sepsis-associated complications. Future clinical trials are required to study the efficacy and mechanistic pathway.

Abstract
Coagulopathy induced by major trauma is common, affecting approximately one-third of patients after trauma. It develops independently of iatrogenic, hypothermic, and dilutive causes (such as iatrogenic cause in case of fluid administration), which instead have a pejorative aspect on coagulopathy. Notwithstanding the continuous research conducted over the past decade on Trauma-Induced Coagulopathy (TIC), it remains a life-threatening condition with a significant impact on trauma mortality. We reviewed the current evidence regarding TIC diagnosis and pathophysiological mechanisms and summarized the different iterations of optimal TIC management strategies among which product resuscitation, potential drug administrations, and hemostatis-focused approaches. We have identified areas of ongoing investigation and controversy in TIC management.

Abstract
Severe cholestatic liver injury diseases, such as obstructive jaundice and the subsequent acute obstructive cholangitis, are induced by biliary tract occlusion. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitors have been demonstrated to be protective for various organs. The potential of HSP90 inhibitors in the treatment of cholestatic liver injury, however, remains unclear. In the present study, rat models of bile duct ligation (BDL) were established, the HSP90 inhibitor 17-dimethylamino-ethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-DMAG) was administered, and its ability to ameliorate the cholestasis-induced liver injuries was evaluated. In the BDL rat models and clinical samples, increased HSP90 expression was observed to be associated with cholestatic liver injury. Furthermore, 17-DMAG alleviated cholestasis-induced liver injury in the rat models, as revealed by the assessment of pathological changes and liver function. In addition, 17-DMAG protected hepatocytes against cholestatic injury in vitro. Further assays indicated that 17-DMAG administration prevented cholestasis-induced liver injury in the rats by decreasing the expression of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18. Moreover, 17-DMAG also decreased the cholestasis-induced upregulation of IL-1β and IL-18 in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells in vitro. In conclusion, the HSP90 inhibitor 17-DMAG is able to prevent liver injury in rats with biliary obstruction, and this phenomenon is associated with the reduction of IL-1β and IL-18 expression.

Abstract
AIM This research examined silibinin's anti-inflammatory outcomes on the NOD-like receptor protein-3 (NLRP3) and NF-κB gene expression, which plays a notable role in inciting inflammatory pathways. BACKGROUND Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a common phenomenon in many clinical cases, including liver surgery and transplantation. Inflammatory mediators are vital contributors to the expansion of hepatic damage after I/R injury (I/RI), and therefore, targeting inflammation is a considerable candidate for the management of hepatic I/RI and its complications. METHODS Thirty-two male Wistar rats were divided equally into four groups: 1) Control (Vehicle) group, in which rats underwent laparotomy and received normal saline; 2) SILI group, in which rats underwent laparotomy, and 30 mg/kg silibinin was injected intraperitoneal (IP); 3) I/R group, in which rats underwent I/R and received normal saline; and 4) I/R + SILI group, who encountered I/R after laparotomy and received silibinin. After one hour of ischemia and three hours of reperfusion, blood and liver tissue samples were assembled for future biochemical, histological, and gene expression studies. RESULTS In vivo analysis attested that serum AST and ALT activities were significantly lessened by silibinin in the SILI + I/R group (p <0.001). Silibinin ameliorated inflammatory liver tissue injuries, including neutrophil and macrophage infiltration, hepatocyte degeneration, cytoplasmic vacuolation, vascular endothelial damages, and sinusoid dilation observed in the I/R group. During I/R, NLRP3 and NF-κB gene expression showed a significant increment compared to the control group (p <0.001), which could be alleviated by silibinin (p <0.01). CONCLUSION The results evidence that adjusting the expression of NLRP3 and NF-κB genes during I/R is probably one of the mechanisms of the anti-inflammatory effects of silibinin.

Abstract
Sterile inflammatory processes are essential for the maintenance of central nervous system homeostasis, but they also contribute to various neurological disorders, including neurotrauma, stroke, and demyelinating or neurodegenerative diseases. Immune mechanisms in the central nervous system and periphery are regulated by a diverse group of endogenous proteins, which can be broadly divided into the pro-inflammatory damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and anti-inflammatory resolution-associated molecular patterns (RAMPs), even though there is notable overlap between the DAMP- and RAMP-like activities for some of these molecules. Both groups of molecular patterns were initially described in peripheral immune processes and pathologies; however, it is now evident that at least some, if not all, of these immunomodulators also regulate neuroimmune processes and contribute to neuroinflammation in diverse central nervous system disorders. The review of recent literature demonstrates that studies on DAMPs and RAMPs of the central nervous system still lag behind the much broader research effort focused on their peripheral counterparts. Nevertheless, this review also reveals that over the last five years, significant advances have been made in our understanding of the neuroimmune functions of several well-established DAMPs, including high-mobility group box 1 protein and interleukin 33. Novel neuroimmune functions have been demonstrated for other DAMPs that previously were considered almost exclusively as peripheral immune regulators; they include mitochondrial transcription factor A and cytochrome C. RAMPs of the central nervous system are an emerging area of neuroimmunology with very high translational potential since some of these molecules have already been used in preclinical and clinical studies as candidate therapeutic agents for inflammatory conditions, such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. The therapeutic potential of DAMP antagonists and neutralizing antibodies in central nervous system neuroinflammatory diseases is also supported by several of the identified studies. It can be concluded that further studies of DAMPs and RAMPs of the central nervous system will continue to be an important and productive field of neuroimmunology.

Abstract
The newly highlighted research into programmed cell death (PCD), autophagy dependent cell death and pyroptotic cell death, has shown that these processes are both strongly correlated with the pathological progression of traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, their cross-talk in TBI remains unclear. Here, a moderate TBI model was established to explore the relationship between autophagy and pyroptosis. Rapamycin was used to activate the process of autophagy, which was impaired in the moderate TBI model, and this treatment reversed the expression of pyroptosis associated proteins, interleukin-13 (IL-13) and the pJAK-1 pathway, which were upregulated significantly after TBI. The level of IL-13 was downregulated, and the JAK-1 pathway was blocked to reveal the molecular mechanisms by which autophagy inhibits pyroptosis; these two treatments reduced the expression levels of pyroptosis associated proteins. In addition, these three interventions reduced the formation of neuronal NLRP3, the extent of brain edema, and the degree of cortical neuron degeneration. Furthermore, the deficit in motor function post-TBI was also markedly alleviated. Collectively, our results demonstrated that autophagy activation exerts a neuroprotective effect by inhibiting pyroptotic cell death in the moderate TBI model, and the inhibitory effect was dependent on the downregulation of IL-13 and repression of the JAK-1-STAT-1 signaling pathway.
