Abstract
Age-related dysfunction of salivary glands (SGs) leading to xerostomia or dry mouth is typically associated with increased dental caries and difficulties in mastication, deglutition or speech. Inflammaging-induced hyposalivation plays a significant role in aged SGs; however, the mechanisms by which ageing shapes the inflammatory microenvironment of SGs remain unclear. Here, we show that reduced salivary secretion flow rate in aged human and mice SGs is associated with impaired autophagy and increased M1 polarization of macrophages. Our study reveals the crucial roles of SIRT6 in regulating macrophage autophagy and polarization through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, as demonstrated by generating two conditional knock out mice. Furthermore, triptolide (TP) effectively rejuvenates macrophage autophagy and polarization via targeting this pathway. We also design a local delivery of TP-loaded apoptotic extracellular vesicles (ApoEVs) to improve age-related SGs dysfunction therapeutically. Collectively, our findings uncover a previously unknown link between SIRT6-regulated autophagy and macrophage polarization in age-mediated hyposalivation, while our locally therapeutic strategy exhibits potential preventive effects for age-related hyposalivation.

Iristectorigenin C suppresses LPS-induced macrophages activation by regulating mPGES-1 expression and p38/JNK pathway. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 317:116706. [PMID: 37301305 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.116706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been used clinically to treat inflammatory diseases clinically. However, the adverse effects of NSAIDs cannot be ignored. Therefore, it is critical for us to find alternative anti-inflammatory drugs that can reduce adverse reactions to herbal medicine, such as Iris tectorum Maxim., which has therapeutic effects and can treat inflammatory diseases and liver-related diseases. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to isolate active compounds from I. tectorum and investigate their anti-inflammatory effects and action mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fourteen compounds were isolated from I. tectorum using silica gel column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20, ODS and high performance liquid chromatography, and their structures were identified by examining physicochemical properties, ultraviolet spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Classical inflammatory cell models were established using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells and rat primary peritoneal macrophages to examine the effect of these compounds. To examine the action mechanisms, the nitric oxide (NO) levels were measured by Griess reagent and the levels of inflammatory cytokines in the supernatant were measured by ELISA; The expressions of major proteins in prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis and the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways were examined by Western blotting, and the mRNA expression levels were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction; and the nuclear translocation of p65 was examined by high content imaging. Molecular docking was used to predict the binding of active compound to target protein. RESULTS Our findings revealed that Iristectorigenin C (IT24) significantly inhibited the levels of NO and PGE2 without affecting cyclooxygenase (COX)-1/COX-2 expression in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells and rat peritoneal macrophages. Furthermore, IT24 was shown to decrease the expression of microsomal prostaglandin synthetase-1 (mPGES-1) in LPS-induced rat peritoneal macrophages. IT24 did not suppress the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of proteins in the NF-κB pathway, but it inhibited the phosphorylation of p38/JNK in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Additionally, molecular docking analysis indicated that IT24 may directly bind to the mPGES-1 protein. CONCLUSION IT24 might inhibit mPGES-1 and the p38/JNK pathway to exert its anti-inflammatory effects and could be also developed as an inhibitor of mPGES-1 to prevent and treat mPGES-1-related diseases, such as inflammatory diseases, and holds promise for further research and drug development.

Abstract
Introduction Ageing research is establishing macrophages as key immune system regulators that undergo functional decline. Due to heterogeneity between species and tissue populations, a plethora of data exist and the power of scientific conclusions can vary substantially. This meta-analysis by information content (MAIC) and systematic literature review (SLR) aims to determine overall changes in macrophage gene and protein expression, as well as function, with age. Methods PubMed was utilized to collate peer-reviewed literature relating to macrophage ageing. Primary studies comparing macrophages in at least two age groups were included. Data pertaining to gene or protein expression alongside method used were extracted for MAIC analysis. For SLR analysis, data included all macrophage-specific changes with age, as well as species, ontogeny and age of groups assessed. Results A total of 240 studies were included; 122 of which qualified for MAIC. The majority of papers focussed on changes in macrophage count/infiltration as a function of age, followed by gene and protein expression. The MAIC found iNOS and TNF to be the most commonly investigated entities, with 328 genes and 175 proteins showing consistent dysregulation with age across the literature. Overall findings indicate that cytokine secretion and phagocytosis are reduced and reactive oxygen species production is increased in the ageing macrophage. Discussion Collectively, our analysis identifies critical regulators in macrophage ageing that are consistently dysregulated, highlighting a plethora of targets for further investigation. Consistent functional changes with age found here can be used to confirm an ageing macrophage phenotype in specific studies and experimental models.

Abstract
Cellular senescence refers to the permanent arrest of cell cycle caused by intrinsic and/or extrinsic stressors including oncogene activation, irradiation, DNA damage, oxidative stress, and certain cytokines (including senescence associated secretory phenotype). Cellular senescence is an important factor in aging. Accumulation of senescent cells has been implicated in the causation of various age-related organ disorders, tissue dysfunction, and chronic diseases. It is widely accepted that the biological effects triggered by low-dose radiation (LDR) are different from those caused by high-dose radiation. Experimental evidence suggests that LDR may promote growth and development, enhance longevity, induce embryo production, and delay the progression of chronic diseases. The underlying mechanisms of these effects include modulation of immune response, stimulation of hematopoietic system, antioxidative effect, reduced DNA damage and improved ability for DNA damage repair. In this review, we discuss the possible mechanisms by which LDR prevents senescence and aging from the perspectives of inhibiting cellular senescence and promoting the removal of senescent cells. We review a wide broad of evidence about the beneficial impact of LDR in senescence and aging models (including cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases, arthritis and osteoporosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) to highlight the potential value of LDR in preventing aging and age-related diseases. However, there is no consensus on the effect of LDR on human health, and several important aspects require further investigation.

Abstract
It has been well-established that age-associated low-grade chronic inflammation contributes to the development of a spectrum of chronic diseases, including diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and neurodegenerative diseases, which affect the quality of life of the elderly and influence their life span. This phenomenon is suggested to arise due to the weakening of the regulatory mechanisms of the immune response, and the persistence of exogenous and endogenous (reflecting oxidative cell injury) antigenic challenges, so it is referred to as oxi-inflamm-aging. Considering that the development of age-associated chronic inflammation is "silent", i.e., without clinical signs until the aforementioned complications become apparent, it is important to identify the biomarker(s) or pattern/cluster of biomarkers for this inflammation. It is also important to define new strategies to combat the "silent" damage induced by chronic inflammation. Given that at present there are no reliable biomarkers for chronic inflammation, this review points out the problems in defining biomarker(s) or patterns/clusters of biomarkers for chronic inflammation in order to stimulate further research and points to some possible routes of investigation.

Abstract
Poor healing ability and adhesion formation greatly hinder the recovery of injured tendon function. Previously, our local sustained gene delivery system by using cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2)-engineered miRNA plasmid/nanoparticles loaded hydrogel significantly inhibited adhesion formation and promoted tendon healing. The present study aims to study morphological changes of the macrophages in the healing tendons after above treatment with the hydrogel. Firstly, we assessed the therapeutic effect of localized delivery of the hydrogel on cyclooxygenases in the injured rat Achilles tendon model. We found ultimate strengths of the healing tendons were significantly increased at week 2 and 3. We then studied the distribution of macrophages before and after tendon injury, and found macrophages were rapidly recruited into injured sites of tendons. After being isolated and cultured, macrophages were transfected with 6-Carboxyfluorescein (FAM) labeled siRNA/nanoparticles and presented a high transfection efficiency (>70%). We further compared the change of iNOS/CD206 in macrophages between negative control siRNA/nanoparticle group and COX siRNA/nanoparticle group. The major finding is that the morphology of the macrophages changed from type I macrophages to type II macrophages after transfection of COX siRNA/nanoparticles in vitro. Subsequently, rat Achilles tendon cells were cultured with supernatant collected from macrophages transfected with negative control siRNA/nanoparticles and COX siRNA/nanoparticles, and the proliferation of tendon cells was significantly increased in COX siRNA/nanoparticle supernatant group. Because type II macrophages are responsible for tissue repair, the changes in macrophage polarization from M1 to M2 may be one of the important events in promoting the tendon healing.

Abstract
Radiation-induced acute intestinal injury is a common and serious occurrence following abdominal and pelvic irradiation. The Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)-dependant inflammasome and inflammation activation is crucial in this process. In a pre-experimental design of radiation-induced intestinal injury, we found that rosiglitazone inhibited caspase-1 which is a key marker of inflammasome activation. The purpose of the present study was to clarify the inhibitory effect of rosiglitazone on the NLRP3 inflammasome both in vivo and in vitro. Radiation-induced intestinal injury after rosiglitazone treatment, and the expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), caspase-1 and NLRP3 in a radiation-induced intestinal injury model in a rat and macrophages were observed. We found that rosiglitazone ameliorated radiation-induced intestinal injury in rats by suppressing the expression of caspase-1, NLRP3, IL-1β and TNF-α. Treatment with rosiglitazone in vitro reduced the expression of NLRP3, and the NLRP3 activator monosodium urate (MSU) reversed the inhibition of IL-1β and TNF-α by rosiglitazone in macrophages. MSU reversed the protective effect of rosiglitazone on radiation-induced intestinal injury in rats by reversing the rosiglitazone-induced inhibition of IL-1β and TNF-α. Taken together, these findings indicate that the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonist, rosiglitazone, ameliorates radiation-induced intestine inflammation in rats via inhibiting the induction of the NLRP3-dependent inflammasome in macrophages.

Abstract
In this review, we examine senescent cells and the overlap between the direct biological impact of senescence and the indirect impact senescence has via its effects on other cell types, particularly the macrophage. The canonical roles of macrophages in cell clearance and in other physiological functions are discussed with reference to their functions in diseases of the kidney and other organs. We also explore the translational potential of different approaches based around the macrophage in future interventions to target senescent cells, with the goal of preventing or reversing pathologies driven or contributed to in part by senescent cell load in vivo.

Abstract
Aging is associated with chronic, low-grade inflammation that adversely affects physiological function. The liver regulates systemic inflammation; it is a source of cytokine production and also scavenges bacteria from the portal circulation to prevent infection of other organs. The cells with primary roles in these functions, hepatic macrophages, become more numerous in the liver with "normal" aging (i.e., in the absence of disease). Here, we demonstrate evidence and potential mechanisms for this phenomenon, which include augmented tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression in the liver. Also, we discuss how an age-related impairment in autophagy within macrophages leads to a pro-oxidative state and ensuing production of proinflammatory cytokines, particularly interleukin 6 (IL-6). Given that the liver is a rich source of macrophages, we posit that it represents a major source of the elevated systemic IL-6 observed with aging, which is associated with physiological dysfunction. Testing a causal role for liver macrophage production of IL-6 during aging remains a challenge, yet interventions that have targeted macrophages and/or IL-6 have demonstrated promise in treating age-related diseases. These studies have demonstrated an age-related, deleterious reprogramming of macrophage function, which worsens pathology. Therefore, hepatic macrophage accrual is indeed a cause for concern, and therapies that attenuate the aged phenotype of macrophages will likely prove useful in promoting healthy aging.

Abstract
Aging increases liver susceptibility to diseases and it causes inflammation in liver tissue which can lead to fibrosis. Studies suggest that aging is caused by the accumulation of free radicals. Lack of physical activity can lower hormone levels and increase free radicals that can accelerate the aging process. Hence, physical activity is very important to maintain functions of organs. This research was aimed to study the effects of low and moderate treadmill exercise on d‐Galactose‐exposed aging rat model by evaluating the degree of hepatic fibrosis, number of M1 and M2, and M1/M2 ratio. Twenty‐four 3‐month‐old male Wistar aging model rats were randomly divided into four groups, that is, three treatment groups with daily 300 mg kgBW−1d‐Galactose injection administrated intraperitoneally for 4 weeks and 1 control group with normal saline injection. Two of the d‐Galactose treated groups were given low and moderate treadmill exercise for 4 weeks. It was concluded that low intensity treadmill exercise significantly lowered the degree of d‐Galactose‐exposed hepatic fibrosis, and moderate treadmill exercise was able to restore the injured liver tissue back to the non‐aging state. Administration of d‐Galactose causes inflammation marked by the elevated number of M1 and M2 macrophages. Moderate treadmill exercise drove M1/M2 ratio back to the control condition.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is an essentially irreversible arrest of cell proliferation coupled to a complex senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The senescence arrest prevents the development of cancer, and the SASP can promote tissue repair. Recent data suggest that the prolonged presence of senescent cells, and especially the SASP, could be deleterious, and their beneficial effects early in life can become maladaptive such that they drive aging phenotypes and pathologies late in life. It is therefore important to develop strategies to eliminate senescent cells. There are currently under development or approved several immune cell-based therapies for cancer, which could be redesigned to target senescent cells. This review focuses on this possible use of immune cells and discusses how current cell-based therapies could be used for senescent cell removal.

Abstract
Macrophage-mediated inflammatory reaction to implant wear particles drives bone loss around total joint replacements (TJR). Although most TJR recipients are elderly, studies linking wear particle-activated macrophages and peri-implant osteolysis have not taken into account the multiple effects that aging has on the innate immune system and, in particular, on macrophages. To address this, we compared the wear particle responses of bone marrow macrophages obtained from young (2-month) and aged (18-month) mice. Macrophages were polarized to M0, M1, or M2 phenotypes in vitro, challenged with titanium particles, and their inflammatory response was characterized at multiple time points by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In addition, age-dependent changes in activation of transcription factor nuclear factor-κB were analyzed by a lentiviral vector-based luciferase reporter system. The particle stimulation experiment was further repeated using human primary macrophages isolated from blood donors of different ages. We found that the pro-inflammatory responses were generally higher in macrophages obtained from young mice, but differences between the age groups remained small and of uncertain biological significance. Noteworthily, M2 polarization effectively suppressed the particle-induced inflammation in both young and aged macrophages. These results suggest that aging of the innate immune system per se plays no significant role in the response of macrophages to titanium particles, whereas induction of M2 polarization appears a promising strategy to limit macrophage-mediated inflammation regardless of age. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
Age-induced chronic inflammation is prevented by aerobic and resistance exercise training. However, the effects of the mechanism of exercise on chronic inflammation in each tissue remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of resistance and aerobic training on gene expression profiles for macrophage infiltration and polarization (M1/M2 ratio) with chronic inflammation in various tissues of aged model mice. Male 38-week-old SAMP1 (senescence-accelerated prone mouse 1) mice were randomly divided into three groups—sedentary (Aged-Sed-SAMP1), aerobic training (Aged-AT-SAMP1; voluntary running), and resistance training—for 12 weeks (Aged-RT-SAMP1; climbing ladder). Resistance and aerobic exercise training prevented an increase in circulating TNF-α levels (a marker of systemic inflammation) in aged SAMP1 mice, along with decreases in tissue inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α and IL-1β) mRNA expression in the heart, liver, small intestine, brain, aorta, adipose, and skeletal muscle, but it did not change the levels in the lung, spleen, and large intestine. Moreover, resistance and aerobic exercise training attenuated increases in F4/80 mRNA expression (macrophage infiltration), the ratio of CD11c/CD163 mRNA expression (M1/M2 macrophage polarization), and MCP-1 mRNA expression (chemokine: a regulator of chronic inflammation) in the chronic inflamed tissues of aged SAMP1 mice. These results suggested that resistance and aerobic exercise training-induced changes in gene expression for macrophage infiltration and polarization in various tissues might be involved in the prevention of age-related tissue chronic inflammation, and lead to a reduction of the increase in circulating TNF-α levels, as a marker of systemic inflammation, in aged SAMP1 mice.

Abstract
Ageing is associated with impaired repair mechanisms in cardiovascular diseases. Macrophages contribute to cardiac fibrosis after myocardial infarction (MI). The phosphatidyl‐inositol‐3‐kinase (PI3K) pathway has been shown to play a role in cardiac remodelling after MI. It remained unclear whether n‐butylidenephthalide, a major component of Angelica sinensis, can attenuate cardiac fibrosis by regulating the PI3K/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)‐mediated macrophage phenotypes in ageing rats after MI. Twenty‐four hours after ligation of the left anterior descending artery, young (2‐month‐old) and ageing (18‐month‐old) male Wistar rats were treated with either vehicle or n‐butylidenephthalide for 4 weeks. There were similar infarct sizes in both age groups. Compared with young rats, ageing rats exhibited significant increased cardiac fibrosis after MI, which can be attenuated after administering n‐butylidenephthalide. MI was associated with decreased activities of PI3K and STAT3 in ageing rats compared with young rats. In both age groups, n‐butylidenephthalide effectively provided a significant increase of STAT3 phosphorylation, STAT3 activity, STAT3 nuclear translocation, myocardial IL‐10 levels and the percentage of M2c macrophage and a decrease of myofibroblast infiltration. The effects of n‐butylidenephthalide on increased IL‐10 levels were reversed by LY294002 or S3I‐201. Furthermore, LY294002 abolished the STAT3 phosphorylation, whereas PI3K activity was not affected following the inhibition of STAT3. In conclusions, the host environment is responsible for ageing‐related myofibroblast dysregulation in response to MI which can be improved by administering n‐butylidenephthalide via macrophage differentiation towards M2 phenotype by targeting the PI3K/STAT3 axis.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix biomaterials have been shown to promote constructive remodeling in many preclinical and clinical applications. This response has been associated with the promotion of a timely switch from pro-inflammatory (M1) to anti-inflammatory (M2) macrophages. A previous study has shown that this beneficial response is lost when these biomaterials are derived from aged animals. This study examined the impact of small intestine submucosa (SIS) derived from 12, 26 and 52 week old pigs on the phenotype and function of bone marrow macrophages derived either from 2 or 18 month old mice. Results showed that 52 week old SIS promoted less iNOS in 2 month macrophages and Fizz1 expression in 2 and 18 month compared to 12 week SIS. Pro-inflammatory cytokine exposure to 52 week SIS-treated macrophages resulted in higher iNOS in 18 month macrophages and reduced MHC-II expression in 2 month macrophages, as well as reduced nitric oxide production in comparison to 12 week SIS. These results indicate that ECM derived from aged animals promotes an altered macrophage phenotype compared to young controls. This suggests that sourcing of ECM from young donors is important to preserve constructive remodeling outcomes of ECM biomaterials. Alteration of macrophage phenotype by aged ECM also raises the hypothesis that alterations in aged ECM may play a role in immune dysfunction in aged individuals.

Abstract
Peritoneal macrophages (PMs) are the major cell type of peritoneal cells that participate in multiple aspects of innate and acquired immunity in the peritoneal cavity. PMs have an ability to release a large amount of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and therefore play a critical role in regulating the differentiation of innate immune cells and inflammatory T cells. Accumulating studies demonstrate that the immunological reactions and inflammatory responses of PMs are strongly related to the pathogenic processes of various inflammatory diseases and abdominal cancers. Consequently, the regulation of PM activation has gradually emerged as a promising target for immunotherapy, and better understanding of the distinctly biological function of PMs in individual diseases is crucial for designing specific and effective therapeutic agents. This review covers the characterization and immunological function of PMs in hosts with inflammatory diseases and abdominal cancers.

Abstract
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an enzyme that plays a role in cellular energy homeostasis, modulates myocardial signaling in the heart. Myocardial dysfunction is a common complication of sepsis. Autophagy is involved in the aging related cardiac dysfunction. However, the role of AMPK in sepsis-induced cardiotoxicity has yet to be clarified, especially in aging. In this study, we explored the role of AMPK in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced myocardial dysfunction and elucidated the potential mechanisms of AMPK/mTOR pathway regulating autophagy in young and aged mice. We harvested cardiac tissues by intraperitoneal injection of LPS treatment. The results by echocardiography, pathology, contractile and intracellular Ca2+ property as well as western blot analysis revealed that LPS induced remarkable cardiac dysfunction and cardiotoxicity in mice hearts and cardiomyocytes, which were more seriously in the aged mice. Western blot analysis indicated that the underlying mechanisms included inhibition autophagy mediated by AMPK/mTOR activation. LPS overtly promoted the expression of AMPK upstream regulator PP2A and PP2Cα. Pharmacological activation of AMPK improved cardiac function and upregulated cardiac autophagy induced by LPS in the aged mice. Collectively, our findings suggest that upregulation of autophagy by administration of AMPK could attenuate LPS-induced cardiotoxicity, which enhances our knowledge to explore new drugs and strategies for combating cardiac dysfunction induced by sepsis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Mounting evidence supporting the critical contribution of macrophages, in particular osteal macrophages, to bone regeneration is reviewed. We specifically examine the potential role of macrophages in the basic multicellular units coordinating lifelong bone regeneration via remodelling and bone regeneration in response to injury. We review and discuss the distinctions between macrophage and osteoclast contributions to bone homeostasis, particularly the dichotomous role of the colony-stimulating factor 1-colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor axis. RECENT FINDINGS The impact of inflammation associated with aging and other hallmarks of aging, including senescence, on macrophage function is addressed in the context of osteoporosis and delayed fracture repair. Resident macrophages versus recruited macrophage contributions to fracture healing are also discussed. We identify some of the remaining knowledge gaps that will need to be closed in order to maximise benefits from therapeutically modulating or mimicking the function of macrophages to improve bone health and regeneration over a lifetime.

Abstract
Apelin, the endogenous ligand of the G protein-coupled receptor (APJ), plays an important role in the physiological response to homeostatic perturbations. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of apelin on the functions of peritoneal macrophages. A double staining immunofluorescence technique was used to determine the expression of APJ in peritoneal macrophages. Rat peritoneal macrophages were randomly divided into three groups: control, apelin and apelin+F13A. A significant decrease in phagocytic and chemotactic activity of peritoneal macrophages resulted when the macrophages were incubated with [Pry1]-Apelin-13 (10 ng/ml). Incubation of peritoneal macrophages with the APJ receptor antagonist, F13A (20 ng/ml) prevented the suppressive effect of apelin on phagocytosis and chemotaxis. Peritoneal macrophages incubated with [Pry1]-Apelin-13 exhibited a decrease in the production of TNF-α and IL-6 compared to the control macrophages. Incubation of peritoneal macrophages with [Pry1]-Apelin-13 plus F13A prevented the decrease in the production of proinflammatory cytokines produced by [Pry1]-Apelin-13. In conclusion, apelin may be a mediator that inhibits the functions of activated macrophages.

Abstract
The global population is aging: in 2010, 8% of the population was older than 65 y, and that is expected to double to 16% by 2050. With advanced age comes a heightened prevalence of chronic diseases. Moreover, elderly humans fair worse after acute diseases, namely infection, leading to higher rates of infection-mediated mortality. Advanced age alters many aspects of both the innate and adaptive immune systems, leading to impaired responses to primary infection and poor development of immunologic memory. An often overlooked, yet increasingly common, behavior in older individuals is alcohol consumption. In fact, it has been estimated that >40% of older adults consume alcohol, and evidence reveals that >10% of this group is drinking more than the recommended limit by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Alcohol consumption, at any level, alters host immune responses, including changes in the number, phenotype, and function of innate and adaptive immune cells. Thus, understanding the effect of alcohol ingestion on the immune system of older individuals, who are already less capable of combating infection, merits further study. However, there is currently almost nothing known about how drinking alters innate immunity in older subjects, despite innate immune cells being critical for host defense, resolution of inflammation, and maintenance of immune homeostasis. Here, we review the effects of aging and alcohol consumption on innate immune cells independently and highlight the few studies that have examined the effects of alcohol ingestion in aged individuals.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation is the common pathological basis for such age-associated diseases as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. A multitude of bodily changes occur with aging that contribute to the initiation and development of inflammation. In particular, the immune system of elderly individuals often exhibits diminished efficiency and fidelity, termed immunosenescence. But, although immune responses to new pathogens and vaccines are impaired, immunosenescence is also characterized by a basal systemic inflammatory state. This alteration in immune system function likely promotes chronic inflammation. Changes in the tissue microenvironment, such as the accumulation of cell debris, and systemic changes in metabolic and hormonal signals, also likely contribute to the development of chronic inflammation. Monocyte/macrophage lineage cells are crucial to these age-associated changes, which culminate in the development of chronic inflammatory diseases. In this review, we will summarize the diverse physiological and pathological roles of macrophages in the chronic inflammation underlying age-associated diseases.
