Abstract
Migrasomes are newly discovered extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are formed in migrating cells and mediate intercellular communication. However, their size, biological generation, cargo packaging, transport, and effects on recipient cells by migrasomes are different from those of other EVs. In addition to mediating organ morphogenesis during zebrafish gastrulation, discarding damaged mitochondria, and lateral transport of mRNA and proteins, growing evidence has demonstrated that migrasomes mediate a variety of pathological processes. In this review, we summarize the discovery, mechanisms of formation, isolation, identification, and mediation of cellular communication in migrasomes. We discuss migrasome-mediated disease processes, such as osteoclast differentiation, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, tumor cell metastasis by PD-L1 transport, immune cell chemotaxis to the site of infection by chemokines, angiogenesis promotion via angiogenic factors by immune cells, and leukemic cells chemotaxis to the site of mesenchymal stromal cells. Moreover, as new EVs, we propose the potential of migrasomes for disease diagnosis and treatment. Video Abstract.

Risser GE, Machour M, Hernaez-Estrada B, Li D, Levenberg S, Spiller KL. Effects of Interleukin-4 (IL-4)-releasing microparticles and adoptive transfer of macrophages on immunomodulation and angiogenesis. Biomaterials 2023; 296:122095. [PMID: 36989737 PMCID: PMC10085857 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2023.122095] [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: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023]
Abstract
Macrophages are major regulators of angiogenesis in response to injury, but the mechanisms behind their diverse and phenotypically specific functions are still poorly understood. In particular, the effects of interleukin-4 (IL-4) on macrophage behavior have been well studied in vitro, but it remains unclear whether the release of IL-4 from biomaterials can be used to control macrophage phenotype and subsequent effects on angiogenesis in vivo. We used the murine hindlimb ischemia model to investigate the effects of IL-4-releasing poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microparticles co-delivered with IL-4-polarized macrophages on host macrophage phenotype and angiogenesis in vivo. We established a minimum dose of IL-4 required to modulate macrophage phenotype in vivo and evaluated effects on macrophage subpopulation diversity using multidimensional flow cytometry and pseudotime analysis. The delivery of IL-4-releasing microparticles did not affect the density or size of blood vessels as measured by immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis, but it did increase perfused tissue volume as measured by 3D microcomputed tomography (microCT). In contrast, the co-delivery of IL-4-releasing microparticles and exogenously IL-4-polarized macrophages increased the size of blood vessels as measured by IHC, but without effects on perfused tissue volume via microCT. These effects occurred in spite of low recovery of adoptively transferred macrophages at 4 days after administration. Spatial analysis of macrophage-blood vessel interactions via IHC showed that macrophages closely interacted with blood vessels, which was slightly influenced by treatment, and that blood vessel size was positively correlated with number of macrophages in close proximity. Altogether, these findings indicate that delivery of IL-4-releasing microparticles and exogenously IL-4-polarized macrophages can be beneficial for angiogenesis, but further mechanistic investigations are required.

Abstract
Poly(amide-imide) (PAI), serving as a synthetic polymer, has been widely used in industry for excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance and high thermal stability. However, lack of suitable cell niche and biological activity limited the further application of PAI in biomedical engineering. Herein, silicon modified L-phenylalanine derived poly(amide-imide) (PAIS) was synthesized by introducing silica to L-phenylalanine derived PAI to improve physicochemical and biological performances. The influence of silicon amount on physicochemical, immune, and angiogenic performances of PAIS were systemically studied. The results show that PAIS exerts excellent hydrophilic, mechanical, biological activity. PAIS shows no effects on the number of macrophages, but can regulate macrophage polarization and angiogenesis in a dose-dependent manner. This study advanced our understanding of silicon modification in PAI can modulate cell responses via initiating silicon concentration regulation. The acquired knowledge will provide a new strategy to design and optimize biomedical PAI in the future.

Abstract
Although both are myeloid cells located surrounding cerebral vasculature, vessel-associated microglia (VAM) and perivascular macrophages (PVMs) can be distinguished by their distinct morphologies, signatures and microscopic location. As key component of neuro-glia-vascular unit (NGVU), they play prominent roles in neurovasculature development and pathological process of various central nervous system (CNS) diseases, including phagocytosis, angiogenesis, vessel damage/protection and blood flow regulation, therefore serving as potential targets for therapeutics of a broad array of CNS diseases. Herein, we will provide a comprehensive overview of heterogeneity of VAM/PVMs, highlight limitations of current understanding in this field, and discuss possible directions of future investigations.

Abstract
Implantable tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) usually trigger the host reaction which is inextricably linked with the immune system, including blood-material interaction, protein absorption, inflammation, foreign body reaction, and so on. With remarkable progress, the immune response is no longer considered to be entirely harmful to TEVGs, but its therapeutic and impaired effects on angiogenesis and tissue regeneration are parallel. Although the implicated immune mechanisms remain elusive, it is certainly worthwhile to gain detailed knowledge about the function of the individual immune components during angiogenesis and vascular remodeling. This review provides a general overview of immune cells with an emphasis on macrophages in light of the current literature. To the extent possible, we summarize state-of-the-art approaches to immune cell regulation of the vasculature and suggest that future studies are needed to better define the timing of the activity of each cell subpopulation and to further reveal key regulatory switches.

Abstract
Microglia represent the immune system of the brain. Their role is central in two phenomena, neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, which are at the roots of different pathologies related to the central nervous system (CNS). In order to maintain the homeostasis of the brain and re-establish the equilibrium after a threatening imbalance, microglia communicate with each other and other cells within the CNS by receiving specific signals through membrane-bound receptors and then releasing neurotrophic factors into either the extracellular milieu or directly into the cytoplasm of nearby cells, such as astrocytes and neurons. These last two mechanisms rely on the activity of protein structures that enable the formation of channels in the membrane, namely, connexins and pannexins, that group and form gap junctions, hemichannels, and pannexons. These channels allow the release of gliotransmitters, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and glutamate, together with calcium ion (Ca2+), that seem to play a pivotal role in inter-cellular communication. The aim of the present review is focused on the physiology of channel protein complexes and their contribution to neuroinflammatory and oxidative stress-related phenomena, which play a central role in neurodegenerative disorders. We will then discuss how pharmacological modulation of these channels can impact neuroinflammatory phenomena and hypothesize that currently available nutraceuticals, such as carnosine and N-acetylcysteine, can modulate the activity of connexins and pannexins in microglial cells and reduce oxidative stress in neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Lupus nephritis is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. We lack effective therapeutics and biomarkers mostly because of our limited understanding of its complex pathogenesis. We aim to present an overview of the recent advances in the field to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in lupus nephritis pathogenesis. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies have identified distinct roles for each resident kidney cell in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis. Podocytes share many elements of innate and adaptive immune cells and they can present antigens and participate in the formation of crescents in coordination with parietal epithelial cells. Mesangial cells produce pro-inflammatory cytokines and secrete extracellular matrix contributing to glomerular fibrosis. Tubular epithelial cells modulate the milieu of the interstitium to promote T cell infiltration and formation of tertiary lymphoid organs. Modulation of specific genes in kidney resident cells can ward off the effectors of the autoimmune response including autoantibodies, cytokines and immune cells. SUMMARY The development of lupus nephritis is multifactorial involving genetic susceptibility, environmental triggers and systemic inflammation. However, the role of resident kidney cells in the development of lupus nephritis is becoming more defined and distinct. More recent studies point to the restoration of kidney resident cell function using cell targeted approaches to prevent and treat lupus nephritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary and secondary resistance is a major hurdle in cancer immunotherapy. Therefore, a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms involved in immunotherapy resistance is of pivotal importance to improve therapy outcome. METHOD Here, two mouse models with resistance against therapeutic vaccine-induced tumor regression were studied. Exploration of the tumor microenvironment by high dimensional flow cytometry in combination with therapeutic in vivo settings allowed for the identification of immunological factors driving immunotherapy resistance. RESULTS Comparison of the tumor immune infiltrate during early and late regression revealed a change from tumor-rejecting toward tumor-promoting macrophages. In concert, a rapid exhaustion of tumor-infiltrating T cells was observed. Perturbation studies identified a small but discernible CD163hi macrophage population, with high expression of several tumor-promoting macrophage markers and a functional anti-inflammatory transcriptome profile, but not other macrophages, to be responsible. In-depth analyses revealed that they localize at the tumor invasive margins and are more resistant to Csf1r inhibition when compared with other macrophages. In vivo studies validated the activity of heme oxygenase-1 as an underlying mechanism of immunotherapy resistance. The transcriptomic profile of CD163hi macrophages is highly similar to a human monocyte/macrophage population, indicating that they represent a target to improve immunotherapy efficacy. CONCLUSIONS In this study, a small population of CD163hi tissue-resident macrophages is identified to be responsible for primary and secondary resistance against T-cell-based immunotherapies. While these CD163hi M2 macrophages are resistant to Csf1r-targeted therapies, in-depth characterization and identification of the underlying mechanisms driving immunotherapy resistance allows the specific targeting of this subset of macrophages, thereby creating new opportunities for therapeutic intervention with the aim to overcome immunotherapy resistance.

Abstract
Microglia, a resident immune cell of the central nervous system (CNS), play a pivotal role in facilitating neurovascular development through mechanisms that are not fully understood. Previous reports indicate a role for microglia in regulating astrocyte density. This current work resolves the mechanism through which microglia facilitate astrocyte spatial patterning and superficial vascular bed formation in the neuroretina during development. Ablation of microglia increased astrocyte density and altered spatial patterning. Mechanistically, we show that microglia regulate the formation of the spatially organized astrocyte template required for subsequent vascular growth, through the complement C3/C3aR axis during neuroretinal development. Lack of C3 or C3aR hindered the developmental phagocytic removal of astrocyte bodies and resulted in increased astrocyte density. In addition, increased astrocyte density was associated with elevated proangiogenic extracellular matrix gene expression in C3- and C3aR-deficient retinas, resulting in increased vascular density. These data demonstrate that microglia regulate developmental astrocyte and vascular network spatial patterning in the neuroretina via the complement axis.

Abstract
Alkali burn-induced corneal inflammation and subsequent corneal neovascularization (CNV) are major causes of corneal opacity and vision loss. M1 macrophages play a central role in inflammation and CNV. Therefore, modulation of M1 macrophage polarization is a promising strategy for corneal alkali burns. Here, we illustrate the effect and underlying mechanisms of upadacitinib on corneal inflammation and CNV induced by alkali burns in mice. The corneas of BALB/c mice were administered with 1 M NaOH for 30 s and randomly assigned to the vehicle group and the upadacitinib-treated group. Corneal opacity and corneal epithelial defects were assessed clinically. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), immunohistochemistry, and western blot analysis were performed to detect M1 macrophage polarization and CD31+ corneal blood vessels. The results showed that upadacitinib notably decreased corneal opacity, and promoted corneal wound healing. On day 7 and 14 after alkali burns, upadacitinib significantly suppressed CNV. Corneal alkali injury caused M1 macrophage recruitment in the cornea. In contrast to the vehicle, upadacitinib suppressed M1 macrophage infiltration and decreased the mRNA expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) in alkali-injured corneas. Moreover, upadacitinib dose-dependently inhibited M1 macrophage polarization by suppressing interferon (IFN)-γ-/lipopolysaccharide-stimulated STAT1 activation in vitro. Our findings reveal that upadacitinib can efficiently alleviate alkali-induced corneal inflammation and neovascularization by inhibiting M1 macrophage infiltration. These data demonstrate that upadacitinib is an effective drug for the treatment of corneal alkali burns.

Abstract
Effective countermeasures for tendon injury remains unsatisfactory. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs)-based therapy via regulation of Mφ-mediated angiogenesis has emerged as a promising strategy for tissue regeneration. Still, approaches to tailor the functions of EVs to treat tendon injuries have been limited. We reported a novel strategy by applying MSC-EVs boosted with bioactive glasses (BG). BG-elicited EVs (EVB) showed up-regulation of medicinal miRNAs, including miR-199b-3p and miR-125a-5p, which play a pivotal role in M2 Mφ-mediated angiogenesis. EVB accelerated angiogenesis via the reprogrammed anti-inflammatory M2 Mφs compared with naïve MSC-EVs (EVN). In rodent Achilles tendon rupture model, EVB local administration activated anti-inflammatory responses via M2 polarization and led to a spatial correlation between M2 Mφs and newly formed blood vessels. Our results showed that EVB outperformed EVN in promoting tenogenesis and in reducing detrimental morphological changes without causing heterotopic ossification. Biomechanical test revealed that EVB significantly improved ultimate load, stiffness, and tensile modulus of the repaired tendon, along with a positive correlation between M2/M1 ratio and biomechanical properties. On the basis of the boosted nature to reprogram regenerative microenvironment, EVB holds considerable potential to be developed as a next-generation therapeutic modality for enhancing functional regeneration to achieve satisfying tendon regeneration.

Abstract
Neural regeneration is extremely difficult to achieve. In traumatic brain injuries, the loss of brain parenchyma volume hinders neural regeneration. In this study, neuronal tissue engineering was performed by using electrically charged hydrogels composed of cationic and anionic monomers in a 1:1 ratio (C1A1 hydrogel), which served as an effective scaffold for the attachment of neural stem cells (NSCs). In the 3D environment of porous C1A1 hydrogels engineered by the cryogelation technique, NSCs differentiated into neuroglial cells. The C1A1 porous hydrogel was implanted into brain defects in a mouse traumatic damage model. The VEGF-immersed C1A1 porous hydrogel promoted host-derived vascular network formation together with the infiltration of macrophages/microglia and astrocytes into the gel. Furthermore, the stepwise transplantation of GFP-labeled NSCs supported differentiation towards glial and neuronal cells. Therefore, this two-step method for neural regeneration may become a new approach for therapeutic brain tissue reconstruction after brain damage in the future.

Abstract
Although methods are used to treat wounds clinically, there are still many challenges in the treatment of chronic wounds due to excessive inflammatory response, difficulties in epithelialization, vascularization, and other factors. With the increasing research on adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in recent years, accumulating evidence has shown that ADSCs scan promotes the healing of chronic wounds by regulating macrophage function and cellular immunity and promoting angiogenesis and epithelialization. The present study reviewed the difficulties in the treatment of chronic wounds, as well as the advantages and the mechanism of ADSCs in promoting the healing of chronic wounds, to provide a reference for the stem cell therapy of chronic wounds.

Abstract
Objective This review addresses the latest advances in research on the role of macrophages in fracture healing, exploring their relationship with failures in bone consolidation and the perspectives for the development of advanced and innovative therapies to promote bone regeneration. Background The bone can fully restore its form and function after a fracture. However, the regenerative process of fracture healing is complex and is influenced by several factors, including macrophage activity. These cells have been found in the fracture site at all stages of bone regeneration, and their general depletion or the knockdown of receptors that mediate their differentiation, polarization, and/or function result in impaired fracture healing. Methods The literature search was carried out in the PubMed database, using combinations of the keywords "macrophage", "fracture healing, "bone regeneration", and "bone repair". Articles published within the last years (2017-2022) reporting evidence from in vivo long bone fracture healing experiments were included. Conclusions Studies published in the last five years on the role of macrophages in fracture healing strengthened the idea that what appears to be essential when it comes to a successful consolidation is the right balance between the M1/M2 populations, which have different but complementary roles in the process. These findings opened promising new avenues for the development of several macrophage-targeted therapies, including the administration of molecules and/or biomaterials intended to regulate macrophage differentiation and polarization, the local transplantation of macrophage precursors, and the use of exosomes to deliver signaling molecules that influence macrophage activities. However, more research is still warranted to better understand the diversity of macrophage phenotypes and their specific roles in each step of fracture healing and to decipher the key molecular mechanisms involved in the in vivo crosstalk between macrophages and other microenvironmental cell types, such as endothelial and skeletal stem/progenitor cells.

Abstract
Bone tissue regeneration plays an increasingly important role in contemporary clinical treatment. The reconstruction of bone defects remains a huge challenge for clinicians. Bone regeneration is regulated by the immune system, in which inflammation is an important regulating factor in bone formation and remodeling. As the main cells involved in inflammation, macrophages play a key role in osteogenesis by polarizing into different phenotypes during different stages of bone regeneration. Considering this, this review mainly summarizes the function of macrophage in bone regeneration based on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and vascular cells. In conclusion, anti-inflammatory macrophages (M2) have a greater potentiality to promote bone regeneration than M0 and classically activated proinflammatory macrophages (M1). In the fracture and bone defect models, tissue engineering materials can induce the transition from M1 to M2, alter the bone microenvironment, and promote bone regeneration through interactions with bone-related cells and blood vessels. The review provides a further understanding of macrophage polarization behavior in the evolving field of bone immunology.

Abstract
Building an immune system is a monumental task critical to the survival of the fetus and newborn. A functional fetal immune system must complement the maternal immune system in handling in utero infection; abstain from damaging non-self-reactions that would compromise the materno-fetal interface; mobilize in response to infection and equip mucosal tissues for pathogen exposure at birth. There is growing appreciation that immune cells also have noncanonical roles in development and specifically may contribute to tissue morphogenesis. In this review we detail how hematopoietic and lymphoid organs jointly establish cellular constituents of the immune system; how these constituents are organized in 2 mucosal sites-gut and lung-where early life immune function has long-term consequences for health; and how exemplar diseases of prematurity and inborn errors of immunity reveal dominant pathways in prenatal immunity.

Abstract
Microglia are the immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS). Once microglial progenitors are generated in the yolk sac, these cells enter the CNS and colonize its structures by migrating and proliferating during development. Although the microglial population in the CNS is still low in this stage compared to adults, these cells can associate with many surrounding cells, such as neural lineage cells and vascular-structure-composing cells, by extending their filopodia and with their broad migration capacity. Previous studies revealed multifaceted microglial actions on neural lineage cells, such as regulating the differentiation of neural progenitors and modulating neuronal positioning. Notably, microglia not only act on neural lineage cells but also interact with blood vessels, for example, by supporting vascular formation and integrity. On the other hand, blood vessels contribute to microglial colonization into the CNS and their migration at local tissues. Importantly, pericytes, the cells that encompass vascular endothelial cells, have been suggested to play a profound role in microglial function. This review summarizes recent advances in the understanding of the interaction of microglia and blood vessels, especially focusing on the significance of this interaction in CNS development, and discusses how microglial and blood vessel dysfunction leads to developmental disorders.

Abstract
The understanding of macrophages and their pathophysiological role has dramatically changed within the last decades. Macrophages represent a very interesting cell type with regard to biomaterial-based tissue engineering and regeneration. In this context, macrophages play a crucial role in the biocompatibility and degradation of implanted biomaterials. Furthermore, a better understanding of the functionality of macrophages opens perspectives for potential guidance and modulation to turn inflammation into regeneration. Such knowledge may help to improve not only the biocompatibility of scaffold materials but also the integration, maturation, and preservation of scaffold-cell constructs or induce regeneration. Nowadays, macrophages are classified into two subpopulations, the classically activated macrophages (M1 macrophages) with pro-inflammatory properties and the alternatively activated macrophages (M2 macrophages) with anti-inflammatory properties. The present narrative review gives an overview of the different functions of macrophages and summarizes the recent state of knowledge regarding different types of macrophages and their functions, with special emphasis on tissue engineering and tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Purpose Wet form of age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) is a progressive vascular disease that mainly affects older adults and causes severe and irreversible vision loss. A key complication of wet AMD is choroidal neovascularization (CNV), which may be driven in part by NLRP3 inflammasomes that are associated with macrophages migration to CNV lesions. Since activated NLRP3 is correlated with CNV, visualizing NLRP3 inflammasomes and their associated macrophages is of great interest to monitor wet AMD progression and develop effective therapies against it. However, to the best of our knowledge, current ophthalmic imaging systems do not permit such targeted imaging. Therefore, in this study, we developed InflammaProbe-1, an optical imaging probe for targeted visualization of NLRP3 inflammasomes in CNV lesions. Methods InflammaProbe-1 was synthesized by conjugating a clinically relevant fluorophore, Oregon Green® 488, to the selective NLRP3 inhibitor, CY-09. The ability of InflammaProbe-1 to target NLRP3 was assessed with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay by comparing its ability to inhibit NLRP3-mediated secretion of IL-1β to that of CY-09 in LPS-primed and nigericin-stimulated BMDMs. In vitro confocal imaging of NLRP3 was performed on InflammaProbe-1-stained BMDMs that had been induced to express NLRP3 with LPS. In vivo imaging of NLRP3 was conducted on mouse laser induced choroidal neovascularization (LCNV), a model of AMD, 6 h after an intraperitoneal injection of InflammaProbe-1 at 10 mg/kg on day 4 post-LCNV. Results InflammaProbe-1 was just as effective as CY-09 at inhibiting IL-1β secretion (p < 0.01 at 10 μM for both the InflammaProbe-1 and CY-09 groups relative to the control). InflammaProbe-1-stained BMDMs that had been induced to express NLRP3 showed significantly brighter fluorescence than untreated cells (p < 0.0001 for LPS treatment group and p < 0.001 for LPS and nigericin treatment group). Furthermore, in vivo molecular imaging of NLRP3 was achieved in mouse LCNV. Conclusion We propose that InflammaProbe-1 may be a useful molecular imaging probe to monitor the onset, progression, and therapeutic response of AMD and other NLRP3-mediated diseases.

Angiogenesis, arteriogenesis, and pruning are revascularization processes essential to our natural vascular development and adaptation, as well as central players in the onset and development of pathologies such as tumoral growth and stroke recovery. Computational modeling allows for repeatable experimentation and exploration of these complex biological processes. In this review, we provide an introduction to the biological understanding of the vascular adaptation processes of sprouting angiogenesis, intussusceptive angiogenesis, anastomosis, pruning, and arteriogenesis, discussing some of the more significant contributions made to the computational modeling of these processes. Each computational model represents a theoretical framework for how biology functions, and with rises in computing power and study of the problem these frameworks become more accurate and complete. We highlight physiological, pathological, and technological applications that can be benefit from the advances performed by these models, and we also identify which elements of the biology are underexplored in the current state-of-the-art computational models. This article is categorized under: Cancer > Computational Models Cardiovascular Diseases > Computational Models.

The imbalance of circulating monocyte subgroups with a higher proportion of the CD14+CD16+CD163+ phenotype in patients with preeclampsia. Immunol Lett 2023; 253:1-7. [PMID: 36460232 DOI: 10.1016/j.imlet.2022.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2022] [Revised: 11/20/2022] [Accepted: 11/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preeclampsia is a major cause of increased maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, which is closely related to the abnormal maternal immune response. The skew of decidual macrophage polarization toward M1 phenotype has been proved to promote the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. However, it's not easy to monitor the change of decidual macrophage subtypes. The current study aims to examine the distribution of different circulating monocyte subtypes and analyze whether certain monocyte subtypes act as potential clinical indicators for preeclampsia. METHODS A total of 50 pregnant women [mild preeclampsia (n = 20); severe preeclampsia (n = 15); healthy pregnancy (n = 15)] and 15 healthy donors were included in the study. Medical information such as BMI, blood pressure, ALT, creatinine, thrombocyte, etc., were recorded. The frequency of different monocyte subtypes in venous blood were measured by flow cytometry. Serum level of IL-6 was detected using Roche-Hitachi cobas 8000. Serum concentration of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-4, IL-10 and TNF-α) were measured by ELISA. RESULTS A circulating monocyte subset with both M1 and M2 markers (CD14+CD16+CD163+) was found to occupy an obvious higher proportion in the preeclampsia group than in the normal pregnancy group. The ratio of CD206+/CD206- M2-like monocytes was also increased in the preeclampsia group, and meanwhile, it had statistic difference between the mild- and the severe-preeclampsia group. Furthermore, the serum levels of IL-1β and TNF-α were positively correlated with the frequency of CD14+CD16+CD163+ intermediate monocytes in the preeclampsia group. CONCLUSIONS The increased proportion of CD14+C16+CD163+ circulating monocytes and the high ratio of CD206+/CD206- M2-like monocytes may act as potential clinical indicators for preeclampsia, with the superiority of convenience and dynamic monitoring.

J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2023; 111:16-25. [PMID: 35833260 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.b.35128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2022] [Revised: 06/03/2022] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
Among various biomaterials, we focused on nanofiber-based polyglycolic acid (PGA) fabric and examined the dynamics of cells that migrate within the non-woven fabric after implantation. The efficacy of nano-PGA as a tissue reinforcement in the process of subcutaneous tissue repair was immunohistochemically investigated. Two types of clinically available PGA non-woven sheet (nano-PGA: fiber diameter = 2.0 μm, conventional PGA: fiber diameter = 14.2 μm) were used and subcutaneously implanted in rats. Samples were collected 3 days, and 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after the implantation to perform histological and immunohistochemical (CD68, CD163, α-SMA, Type I collagen, CD34, MCP-1, IL-6, TNF-α, TGF-β, VEGF, IgG) examinations to assess the expression of molecules related to inflammation or tissue repair. Immunohistochemical analysis in nano-PGA revealed that the intensity and positive cells (CD68, MCP-1, IL-6, TNF-α) significantly increased which indicated an early inflammatory response. This was followed by phagocytosis of nano-PGA with foreign body giant cells and CD68+ macrophages. Finally, the number of proliferating cells (CD163, α-SMA, TGF-β) and angiogenesis (CD34, VEGF) for tissue repair promoted the formation of collagen fibers (type I collagen). Unlike nano-PGA, implantation of conventional PGA sheet resulted in a prolonged inflammatory response and was characterized by the presence of discontinuous collagen fibers with many foreign body giant cells, which did not lead to tissue repair. Nano-PGA sheets demonstrated a better tissue compatibility compared with conventional PGA by inducing early polarization to M2 phenotype macrophages, which triggered subsequent angiogenesis and tissue repair in the subcutaneous tissue.

Abstract
Microglia are associated with a wide range of both neuroprotective and neuroinflammatory functions in the central nervous system (CNS) during development and throughout lifespan. Chronically activated and dysfunctional microglia are found in many diseases and disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and CNS-related injuries, and can accelerate or worsen the condition. Transplantation studies designed to replace and supplement dysfunctional microglia with healthy microglia offer a promising strategy for addressing microglia-mediated neuroinflammation and pathologies. This review will cover microglial involvement in neurological diseases and disorders and CNS-related injuries, current microglial transplantation strategies, and different approaches and considerations for generating exogenic microglia.

Abstract
Tendon healing is a complex process involving inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, eventually achieving a state of hypocellularity and hypovascularity. Currently, few treatments can satisfactorily restore the structure and function of native tendon. Bioactive glass (BG) has been shown to possess immunomodulatory and angiogenic properties. In this study, we investigated whether an injectable hydrogel fabricated of BG and sodium alginate (SA) could be applied to enhance tenogenesis following suture repair of injured tendon. We demonstrated that BG/SA hydrogel significantly accelerated tenogenesis without inducing heterotopic ossification based on histological analysis. The therapeutic effect could attribute to increased angiogenesis and M1 to M2 phenotypic switch of macrophages within 7 days post-surgery. Morphological characterization demonstrated that BG/SA hydrogel partially reverted the pathological changes of Achilles tendon, including increased length and cross-sectional area (CSA). Finally, biomechanical test showed that BG/SA hydrogel significantly improved ultimate load, failure stress, and tensile modulus of the repaired tendon. In conclusion, administration of an injectable BG/SA hydrogel can be a novel and promising therapeutic approach to augment Achilles tendon healing in conjunction with surgical intervention.

Abstract
Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is defined as two or more pregnancy loss, affecting the happiness index of fertility couples. The mechanisms involved in the occurrence of RSA are not clear to date. The primary problem for the maternal immune system is how to establish and maintain the immune tolerance to the semi-allogeneic fetuses. During the pregnancy, decidual macrophages mainly play an important role in the immunologic dialogue. The purpose of this study is to explore decidual macrophages, and to understand whether there is a connection between these cells and RSA by analyzing their phenotypes and functions. Pubmed, Web of Science and Embase were searched. The eligibility criterion for this review was evaluating the literature about the pregnancy and macrophages. Any disagreement between the authors was resolved upon discussion and if required by the judgment of the corresponding author. We summarized the latest views on the phenotype, function and dysfunction of decidual macrophages to illuminate its relationship with RSA.

Abstract
Pro-angiogenic factors are key regulators of angiogenesis. Here we report that highly migratory cells patrol the area of capillary formation in chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane. These cells deposit migrasomes on their migration tracks, creating migrasome-enriched areas. Single-cell sequencing identified these cells as monocytes. Depletion of monocytes impairs capillary formation. Quantitative mass spectrometry analysis reveals that monocyte migrasomes are enriched with pro-angiogenic factors. Purified migrasomes promote capillary formation and monocyte recruitment in vivo, and endothelial cell tube formation and monocyte chemotaxis in vitro. Knockdown or knockout of TSPAN4 reduces migrasome formation and impairs capillary formation and monocyte recruitment. Mechanistically, monocytes promote angiogenesis via VEGFA and CXCL12 in migrasomes. In summary, monocytes deposit migrasomes enriched in pro-angiogenic factors to promote angiogenesis.

Abstract
Brain endothelial cells (BEC) of the vascular blood-brain barrier (BBB) interact with many different cell types in the brain, including microglia, the brain's resident immune cells. Physical associations of microglia with the BBB and the importance of these interactions in health and disease are an emerging area of study and likely involved in neuroimmune communication. In this mini-review, we consider how microglia and the BBB are intrinsically linked in the developing brain, discuss possible mechanisms that attract microglia to the vasculature in healthy physiological conditions, and examine the known microglial-vascular associated changes in systemic infection and various disease states. Our findings shed light on the complexities of microglial-vascular interactions and highlight the contributions of microglia to the functions of the neurovascular unit.

Abstract
Tumour growth and metastasis are specific to advanced stages of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Tumour angiogenesis is an essential part of these processes. It is responsible for providing tumours with nutrients, metabolites, and cytokines and facilitates tumour and immune cell relocation. Destabilised vasculature, a distinctive feature of tumours, is also responsible for compromising drug delivery into the bulk. Angiogenesis is a complex process that largely depends on how the tumour microenvironment (TME) is composed and how a specific organ is formed. There are contrary reports on whether Tie-2-expressing monocytes/macrophages (TEMs) reported as the proangiogenic population of monocytes have any impact on tumour development. The aim of this paper is to summarise knowledge about ovarian-cancer-specific angiogenesis and the unique role of Tie-2-expressing monocytes/macrophages in this process. The significance of this cell subpopulation for the pathophysiology of EOC remains to be investigated.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide, with the two major hallmarks being the deposition of extracellular β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and of intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). Additionally, early pathological events such as cerebrovascular alterations, a compromised blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, neuroinflammation and synaptic dysfunction, culminate in neuron loss and cognitive deficits. AD symptoms reflect a loss of neuronal circuit integrity in the brain; however, neurons do not operate in isolation. An exclusively neurocentric approach is insufficient to understand this disease, and the contribution of other brain cells including astrocytes, microglia, and vascular cells must be integrated in the context. The delicate balance of interactions between these cells, required for healthy brain function, is disrupted during disease. To design successful therapies, it is critical to understand the complex brain cellular connections in AD and the temporal sequence of their disturbance. In this review, we discuss the interactions between different brain cells, from physiological conditions to their pathological reactions in AD, and how this basic knowledge can be crucial for developing new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Microglia are the main resident immune cells of the nervous system and as such they are involved in multiple roles ranging from tissue homeostasis to response to insults and circuit refinement. While most knowledge about microglia comes from brain studies, some mechanisms have been confirmed for microglia cells in the retina, the light-sensing compartment of the eye responsible for initial processing of visual information. However, several key pieces of this puzzle are still unaccounted for, as the characterization of retinal microglia has long been hindered by the reduced population size within the retina as well as the previous lack of technologies enabling single-cell analyses. Accumulating evidence indicates that the same cell type may harbor a high degree of transcriptional, morphological and functional differences depending on its location within the central nervous system. Thus, studying the roles and signatures adopted specifically by microglia in the retina has become increasingly important. Here, we review the current understanding of retinal microglia cells in physiology and in disease, with particular emphasis on newly discovered mechanisms and future research directions.

Abstract
Neuropathic pain is a distressing medical condition with few effective treatments. The role of Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) in inflammation pain has been confirmed in many researches. However, the mechanism of VEGFA affects neuropathic pain remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that VEGFA plays an important role in spare nerve injury (SNI)-induced neuropathic pain, which is mediated by enhanced expression and colocalized of VEGFA, p-AKT and TRPV1 in SNI-induced neuropathic pain model. Soluble VEGFR1 (sFlt1) not only relieved mechanical hyperalgesia and the expression of inflammatory markers, but ameliorated the expression of VEGFA, VEGFR2, p-AKT, and TRPV1 in spinal cord. However, these effects of sFlt1 can be blocked by rpVEGFA and by 740 Y-P. Therefore, our study indication that targeting VEGFA with sFlt1 reduces neuropathic pain development via the AKT/TRPV1 pathway in SNI-induced nerve injury. This study elucidates a new therapeutic target for neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogels have been widely used in various biomedical applications, especially in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, for their excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. GelMA crosslinks to form a hydrogel when exposed to light irradiation in the presence of photoinitiators. The mechanical characteristics of GelMA hydrogels are highly tunable by changing the crosslinking conditions, including the GelMA polymer concentration, degree of methacrylation, light wavelength and intensity, and light exposure time et al. In this regard, GelMA hydrogels can be adjusted to closely resemble the native extracellular matrix (ECM) properties for the specific functions of target tissues. Therefore, this review focuses on the applications of GelMA hydrogels for bioengineering human vascular networks in vitro and in vivo. Since most tissues require vasculature to provide nutrients and oxygen to individual cells, timely vascularization is critical to the success of tissue- and cell-based therapies. Recent research has demonstrated the robust formation of human vascular networks by embedding human vascular endothelial cells and perivascular mesenchymal cells in GelMA hydrogels. Vascular cell-laden GelMA hydrogels can be microfabricated using different methodologies and integrated with microfluidic devices to generate a vasculature-on-a-chip system for disease modeling or drug screening. Bioengineered vascular networks can also serve as build-in vasculature to ensure the adequate oxygenation of thick tissue-engineered constructs. Meanwhile, several reports used GelMA hydrogels as implantable materials to deliver therapeutic cells aiming to rebuild the vasculature in ischemic wounds for repairing tissue injuries. Here, we intend to reveal present work trends and provide new insights into the development of clinically relevant applications based on vascularized GelMA hydrogels.

Abstract
The heterogeneity of tissue macrophages, in health and in disease, has become increasingly transparent over the last decade. But with the plethora of data comes a natural need for organization and the design of a conceptual framework for how we can better understand the origins and functions of different macrophages. We propose that the ontogeny of a macrophage-beyond its fundamental derivation as either embryonically or bone marrow-derived, but rather inclusive of the course of its differentiation, amidst steady-state cues, disease-associated signals, and time-constitutes a critical piece of information about its contribution to homeostasis or the progression of disease.

Abstract
Macrophages regulate cutaneous wound healing by immune surveillance, tissue repair and remodelling. The depletion of dermal macrophages during the early and middle stages of wound healing has a detrimental impact on wound closure, characterised by reduced vessel density, fibroblast and myofibroblast proliferation, delayed re-epithelization and abated post-healing fibrosis and scar formation. However, in some animal species, oral mucosa and foetal life, cutaneous wounds can heal normally and remain scarless without any involvement of macrophages. These paradoxical observations have created much controversy on macrophages' indispensable role in skin wound healing. Advanced knowledge gained by characterising macrophage subsets, their plasticity in switching phenotypes and molecular drivers provides new insights into their functional importance during cutaneous wound healing. In this review, we highlight the recent findings on skin macrophage subsets, their functional role in adult cutaneous wound healing and the potential benefits of targeting them for therapeutic use.

Abstract
Astrocytes are one of the most abundant cell types in the mammalian brain. They play essential roles in synapse formation, maturation, and elimination. However, how astrocytes migrate into the gray matter to accomplish these processes is poorly understood. Here, we show that, by combinational analyses of in vitro and in vivo time-lapse observations and lineage traces, astrocyte progenitors move rapidly and irregularly within the developing cortex, which we call erratic migration. Astrocyte progenitors also adopt blood vessel-guided migration. These highly motile progenitors are generated in the restricted prenatal stages and differentiate into protoplasmic astrocytes in the gray matter, whereas postnatally generated progenitors do not move extensively and differentiate into fibrous astrocytes in the white matter. We found Cxcr4/7, and integrin β1 regulate the blood vessel-guided migration, and their functional blocking disrupts their positioning. This study provides insight into astrocyte development and may contribute to understanding the pathogenesis caused by their defects.

Abstract
Microglia, brain-resident macrophages, play key roles during prenatal development in defining neural circuitry function, including ensuring proper synaptic wiring and maintaining homeostasis. Mammalian breathing rhythmogenesis arises from interacting brainstem neural networks that are assembled during embryonic development, but the specific role of microglia in this process remains unknown. Here, we investigated the anatomical and functional consequences of respiratory circuit formation in the absence of microglia. We first established the normal distribution of microglia within the wild-type (WT, Spi1+/+ (Pu.1 WT)) mouse (Mus musculus) brainstem at embryonic ages when the respiratory networks are known to emerge (embryonic day (E) 14.5 for the parafacial respiratory group (epF) and E16.5 for the preBötzinger complex (preBötC)). In transgenic mice depleted of microglia (Spi1−/− (Pu.1 KO) mutant), we performed anatomical staining, calcium imaging, and electrophysiological recordings of neuronal activities in vitro to assess the status of these circuits at their respective times of functional emergence. Spontaneous respiratory-related activity recorded from reduced in vitro preparations showed an abnormally slow rhythm frequency expressed by the epF at E14.5, the preBötC at E16.5, and in the phrenic motor nerves from E16.5 onwards. These deficits were associated with a reduced number of active epF neurons, defects in commissural projections that couple the bilateral preBötC half-centers, and an accompanying decrease in their functional coordination. These abnormalities probably contribute to eventual neonatal death, since plethysmography revealed that E18.5 Spi1−/− embryos are unable to sustain breathing activity ex utero. Our results thus point to a crucial contribution of microglia in the proper establishment of the central respiratory command during embryonic development.

Abstract
The formation of proper blood vessel patterns in the central nervous system (CNS) is crucial to deliver oxygen and nutrient to neurons efficiently. At the same time, neurons must be isolated from the outer blood circulation by a specialized structure, the blood-brain barrier (BBB), to maintain the microenvironment of brain parenchyma for the survival of neurons and proper synaptic transmission. To develop this highly organized structure, glial cells, a major component of the brain, have been reported to play essential roles. In this review, the crosstalk between the macroglia, including astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, and endothelial cells during the development of CNS will be discussed. First, the known roles of astrocytes in neuro-vascular unit and its development, and then, the requirements of astrocytes for BBB development and maintenance are shown. Then, various genetic and cellular studies revealing the roles of astrocytes in the growth of blood vessels by providing a scaffold, including laminins and fibronectin, as well as by secreting trophic factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) are introduced. Finally, the interactions between oligodendrocyte progenitors and blood vessels are overviewed. Although these studies revealed the necessity for proper communication between glia and endothelial cells for CNS development, our knowledge about the detailed cellular and molecular mechanisms for them is still limited. The questions to be clarified in the future are also discussed.

Abstract
Metabolic changes that facilitate tumor growth are one of the hallmarks of cancer. These changes are not specific to tumors but also take place during the physiological growth of tissues. Indeed, the cellular and tissue mechanisms present in the tumor have their physiological counterpart in the repair of tissue lesions and wound healing. These molecular mechanisms have been acquired during metazoan evolution, first to eliminate the infection of the tissue injury, then to enter an effective regenerative phase. Cancer itself could be considered a phenomenon of antagonistic pleiotropy of the genes involved in effective tissue repair. Cancer and tissue repair are complex traits that share many intermediate phenotypes at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels, and all of these are integrated within a Systems Biology structure. Complex traits are influenced by a multitude of common genes, each with a weak effect. This polygenic component of complex traits is mainly unknown and so makes up part of the missing heritability. Here, we try to integrate these different perspectives from the point of view of the metabolic changes observed in cancer.

Abstract
Extraordinary capabilities underlie the potential use of immune cells, particularly macrophages, in bone tissue engineering. Indeed, the depletion of macrophages during bone repair often culminates in disease scenarios. Inspired by the native dynamics between immune and skeletal systems, this work proposes a straightforward in vitro method to bioengineer biomimetic bone niches using biological waste. For that, liquefied and semipermeable reservoirs generated by electrohydrodynamic atomization and layer-by-layer techniques are developed to coculture umbilical cord-derived human cells, namely monocyte-derived macrophages, mesenchymal-derived stromal cells (MSCs), and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Poly(ε-caprolactone) microparticles are also added to the liquefied core to act as cell carriers. The fabricated microcapsules grant the successful development of viable microtissues, ensuring the high diffusion of bioactive factors. Interestingly, macrophages within the bioengineered microcapsules increase the release of osteocalcin, osteoprotegerin, and vascular endothelial growth factor. The cytokines profile variation indicates macrophages' polarization into a prohealing phenotype. Altogether, the incorporation of macrophages within the fabricated microcapsules allows to recreate an appropriate bone microenvironment for developing new bone mineralized microtissues. The proposed bioencapsulation protocol is a powerful self-regulated system, which might find great applicability in bone tissue engineering based on bottom-up approaches or disease modeling.

Abstract
Timely restoration of blood supply following ischemia is critical to rescue damaged tissue. However, clinical efficacy is hampered by the inflammatory response after ischemia. Whether inflammation fine tunes the angiogenesis and the function of blood vessels via the heterogeneity of neutrophils remain poorly understood. Herein, the objective of this work is to incorporate the growth factors secreted by neutrophils into a porous gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel, which subsequently is used as a novel regenerative scaffold with defined architecture for ischemia. We demonstrate that anti-inflammatory neutrophils (N2-polarized neutrophils) play an important role in promoting the migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and formation of capillary-like networks in vitro. More importantly, vascular anastomosis can be achieved by modulating the neutrophils to N2 phenotype. In addition, N2-polarized composite hydrogel scaffolds can regulate inflammation, maintain the survival of exogenous cells, and promote angiogenesis in vivo. Notably, the composite hydrogel scaffolds promote neovascularization during exogenous introduction of endothelial cells by anastomosis. Taken together, this study highlights N2-polarized neutrophils composite hydrogels can achieve vascularization rapidly by regulating inflammation and promoting vascular anastomosis. This work lays the foundation for research into the treatment of ischemia and may inspire further research into novel treatment options.

Abstract
Oxytocin is a well-established regulator of social behaviour. Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system, regulate brain development and maintenance in health and disease. Oxytocin and microglia interact: microglia appear to regulate the oxytocin system and are, in turn, regulated by oxytocin, which appears to have anti-inflammatory effects. Both microglia and oxytocin are regulated in sex-specific ways. Oxytocin and microglia may work together to promote experience-dependent circuit refinement through multiple developmental-sensitive periods contributing to individual differences in social behaviour. This article is part of the theme issue 'Interplays between oxytocin and other neuromodulators in shaping complex social behaviours'.

Sourcing of human peripheral blood-derived myeloid angiogenic cells under xeno-free conditions for the treatment of critical limb ischemia. Stem Cell Res Ther 2022; 13:419. [PMID: 35964057 PMCID: PMC9375284 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-022-03095-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 07/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the most severe form of peripheral artery disease and exhibits a high risk of lower extremity amputations. As even the most promising experimental approaches based on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) demonstrated only moderate therapeutic effects, we hypothesized that other cell types with intrinsic roles in angiogenesis may exhibit a stronger therapeutic potential. We have previously established a protocol to source human peripheral blood-derived angiogenic cells (BDACs). These cells promoted revascularization and took perivascular location at sites of angiogenesis, thus resembling hematopoietic pericytes, which were only described in vivo so far. We thus hypothesized that BDACs might have a superior ability to promote revascularization and rescue the affected limb in CLI. METHODS As standard BDAC sourcing techniques involve the use of animal-derived serum, we sought to establish a xeno- and/or serum-free protocol. Next, BDACs or MSCs were injected intramuscularly following the ligation of the iliac artery in a murine model. Their ability to enhance revascularization, impair necrosis and modulate inflammatory processes in the affected limb was investigated. Lastly, the secretomes of both cell types were compared to find potential indications for the observed differences in angiogenic potential. RESULTS From the various commercial media tested, one xeno-free medium enabled the derivation of cells that resembled functional BDACs in comparable numbers. When applied to a murine model of CLI, both cell types enhanced limb reperfusion and reduced necrosis, with BDACs being twice as effective as MSCs. This was also reflected in histological evaluation, where BDAC-treated animals exhibited the least muscle tissue degeneration. The BDAC secretome was enriched in a larger number of proteins with pro-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory properties, suggesting that the combination of those factors may be responsible for the superior therapeutic effect. CONCLUSIONS Functional BDACs can be sourced under xeno-free conditions paving the way for their safe clinical application. Since BDACs are derived from an easily accessible and renewable tissue, can be sourced in clinically relevant numbers and time frame and exceeded traditional MSCs in their therapeutic potential, they may represent an advantageous cell type for the treatment of CLI and other ischemic diseases.

Abstract
Blood vessels form vast networks in all vertebrate organs to sustain tissue growth, repair and homeostatic metabolism, but they also contribute to a range of diseases with neovascularisation. It is, therefore, important to define the molecular mechanisms that underpin blood vessel growth. The receptor tyrosine kinase KIT is required for the normal expansion of hematopoietic progenitors that arise during embryogenesis from hemogenic endothelium in the yolk sac and dorsal aorta. Additionally, KIT has been reported to be expressed in endothelial cells during embryonic brain vascularisation and has been implicated in pathological angiogenesis. However, it is neither known whether KIT expression is widespread in normal organ endothelium nor whether it promotes blood vessel growth in developing organs. Here, we have used single-cell analyses to show that KIT is expressed in endothelial cell subsets of several organs, both in the adult and in the developing embryo. Knockout mouse analyses revealed that KIT is dispensable for vascularisation of growing organs in the midgestation embryo, including the lung, liver and brain. By contrast, vascular changes emerged during late-stage embryogenesis in these organs from KIT-deficient embryos, concurrent with severe erythrocyte deficiency and growth retardation. These findings suggest that KIT is not required for developmental tissue vascularisation in physiological conditions, but that KIT deficiency causes foetal anaemia at late gestation and thereby pathological vascular remodelling.

Abstract
Interferon-gamma-inducible protein 30 (IFI30) is a critical enzyme that mainly exists in immune cells and functions in reducing protein disulfide bonds in endocytosis-mediated protein degradation. Regardless of this, it is also found to be expressed in vascular system. However, the functions of IFI30 in vascular development remains unknown. Vascular network formation is a tightly controlled process coordinating a series of cell behaviors, including endothelial cell (EC) sprouting, proliferation, and anastomosis. In this work, we analyzed the function of zebrafish Ifi30, orthologous to the human IFI30, in vascular development during embryogenesis. The ifi30 gene was found to be highly expressed in the caudal vein plexus (CVP) region of zebrafish embryos. Morpholino-mediated Ifi30 knockdown in zebrafish resulted in incomplete CVP formation with reduced loop numbers, area, and width. Further analyses implied that Ifi30 deficiency impaired cell behaviors of both ECs and macrophages, including cell proliferation and migration. Here, we demonstrate a novel role of IFI30, which was originally identified as a lysosomal thiol reductase involved in immune responses, in CVP development during embryogenesis. Our results suggest that Ifi30 is required for sprouting angiogenesis during CVP formation, which may offer an insight into the function of human IFI30 in angiogenesis under physiological or pathological conditions.

Abstract
Vps35 (vacuolar protein sorting 35), a key component of retromer, plays a crucial role in selective retrieval of transmembrane proteins from endosomes to trans-Golgi networks. Dysfunctional Vps35/retromer is a risk factor for the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Vps35 is highly expressed in developing pyramidal neurons, both in the mouse neocortex and hippocampus, Although embryonic neuronal Vps35’s function in promoting neuronal terminal differentiation and survival is evident, it remains unclear whether and how neuronal Vps35 communicates with other types of brain cells, such as blood vessels (BVs), which are essential for supplying nutrients to neurons. Dysfunctional BVs contribute to the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative disorders. Here, we provide evidence for embryonic neuronal Vps35 as critical for BV branching and maturation in the developing mouse brain. Selectively knocking out (KO) Vps35 in mouse embryonic, not postnatal, neurons results in reductions in BV branching and density, arteriole diameter, and BV-associated pericytes and microglia but an increase in BV-associated reactive astrocytes. Deletion of microglia by PLX3397 enhances these BV deficits in mutant mice. These results reveal the function of neuronal Vps35 in neurovascular coupling in the developing mouse brain and implicate BV-associated microglia as underlying this event.

Abstract
Purpose Retinal microglia promote angiogenesis and vasculopathy in oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR); however, its specific molecular mechanism in the formation of retinal angiogenesis remains unclear. The lectin galactoside-binding soluble 3 binding protein (LGALS3BP), a member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) domain protein family, is involved in tumor neovascularization, and we therefore hypothesized that LGALS3BP plays an active role in microglia-induced angiogenesis. Methods The expression of LGALS3BP in microglia was detected by immunofluorescence, RT-qPCR, and western blotting. Functional assays of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) such as migration, proliferation, and tube formation were measured by Transwell, EdU, and Matrigel assays. Angiogenesis-related factors and PI3K/AKT levels were detected by western blotting. The relationship between LGALS3BP and PI3K or HIF-1α was investigated by immunoprecipitation. Results Our results showed that the expression of LGALS3BP was significantly increased in microglia surrounding neovascularization of the OIR mice and was also upregulated in human microglial clone 3 (HMC3) cells after hypoxia. Moreover, HUVECs co-cultured with hypoxic HMC3 cells showed increased migration, proliferation, and tube formation, as well as levels of angiogenesis-related factor. However, the proangiogenic ability and angiogenesis-related factor expression of HMC3 cells was suppressed after silencing LGALS3BP. LGALS3BP induces the upregulation of angiogenesis-related factors through the PI3K/AKT pathway and then promotes angiogenesis in microglia. Conclusions Collectively, our findings suggest that LGALS3BP in microglia plays an important role in angiogenesis, suggesting a potential therapeutic target of LGALS3BP for angiogenesis.

Abstract
Brain barriers are crucial sites for cerebral energy supply, waste removal, immune cell migration, and solute exchange, all of which maintain an appropriate environment for neuronal activity. At the capillary level, where the largest area of brain-vascular interface occurs, pericytes adjust cerebral blood flow (CBF) by regulating capillary diameter and maintain the blood-brain barrier (BBB) by suppressing endothelial cell (EC) transcytosis and inducing tight junction expression between ECs. Pericytes also limit the infiltration of circulating leukocytes into the brain where resident microglia confine brain injury and provide the first line of defence against invading pathogens. Brain "waste" is cleared across the BBB into the blood, phagocytosed by microglia and astrocytes, or removed by the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through perivascular routes-a process driven by respiratory motion and the pulsation of the heart, arteriolar smooth muscle, and possibly pericytes. "Dirty" CSF exits the brain and is probably drained around olfactory nerve rootlets and via the dural meningeal lymphatic vessels and possibly the skull bone marrow. The brain is widely regarded as an immune-privileged organ because it is accessible to few antigen-primed leukocytes. Leukocytes enter the brain via the meninges, the BBB, and the blood-CSF barrier. Advances in genetic and imaging tools have revealed that neurological diseases significantly alter immune-brain barrier interactions in at least three ways: (1) the brain's immune-privileged status is compromised when pericytes are lost or lymphatic vessels are dysregulated; (2) immune cells release vasoactive molecules to regulate CBF, modulate arteriole stiffness, and can plug and eliminate capillaries which impairs CBF and possibly waste clearance; and (3) immune-vascular interactions can make the BBB leaky via multiple mechanisms, thus aggravating the influx of undesirable substances and cells. Here, we review developments in these three areas and briefly discuss potential therapeutic avenues for restoring brain barrier functions.

Abstract
In the zebrafish lateral line system, interneuromast cells (INCs) between neuromasts are kept quiescent by underlying Schwann cells (SWCs). Upon severe injuries that cause the complete loss of an entire neuromast, INCs can occasionally differentiate into neuromasts but how they escape from the inhibition by SWCs is still unclear. Using a genetic/chemical method to ablate a neuromast precisely, we found that a small portion of larvae can regenerate a new neuromast. However, the residual regeneration capacity was hindered by inhibiting macrophages. Using in toto imaging, we further discovered heterogeneities in macrophage behavior and distribution along the lateral line. We witnessed the crawling of macrophages between the injured lateral line and SWCs during regeneration and between the second primordium and the first mature lateral line during development. It implies that macrophages may physically alleviate the nerve inhibition to break the dormancy of INCs during regeneration and development in the zebrafish lateral line.
