Qian L, Xie L, Zhu Y, Huang C, Meng Z. Potent induction of antitumor immunity by combining cryo-thermal ablation with immune checkpoint inhibitors in hepatocellular carcinoma. Liver Int 2024; 44:723-737. [PMID: 38111027 DOI: 10.1111/liv.15817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/02/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The low response rate of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) prompts the exploration of novel combination therapies for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we aimed to examine the efficiency and potential mechanism of cryo-thermal ablation (Cryo-A) combined with anti-programmed death protein 1 (αPD1) and/or cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (αCTLA4) inhibitors in a murine hepatoma model. METHOD Immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice inoculated with unilateral or bilateral H22 hepatic tumour cells were treated with Cryo-A and/or ICIs (αPD1 and/or αCTLA4). Flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, ELISpot assay, time-of-flight cytometry, tumour rechallenging, and T-cell depletion assay were used to assess the dynamic changes of immune cell subsets following therapy. RESULTS We found Cryo-A resulted in immunogenic cell death of tumour cells, activation of dendritic cells, and enhancement of antitumor immunity. Cryo-A alone was insufficient to extend survival, combining Cryo-A with αPD1 and αCTLA4 further modulated the tumour microenvironment, inducing a durable antitumor immune response by tumour-reactive CD8+ T cells and significantly prolonged survival. Time-of-flight cytometry (CyTOF) data revealed that combination therapies reshaped the tumour microenvironment by the increase of intratumoral CD8+ T cells expressed higher levels of cytotoxic markers and immune checkpoint molecules, and by downregulation of intratumoral granulocytes. The combination also resulted in the eradication of remote unablated tumours (abscopal effect). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggested that Cryo-A turned HCC from "cold" tumours to "hot" tumours and the combination of Cryo-A with αPD1 and αCTLA4 may be a promising approach to improve the prognosis of HCC.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health challenge, claiming the lives of up to 1.5 million individuals annually. TB is caused by the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which primarily infects innate immune cells in the lungs. These immune cells play a critical role in the host defense against Mtb infection, influencing the inflammatory environment in the lungs, and facilitating the development of adaptive immunity. However, Mtb exploits and manipulates innate immune cells, using them as favorable niche for replication. Unfortunately, our understanding of the early interactions between Mtb and innate effector cells remains limited. This review underscores the interactions between Mtb and various innate immune cells, such as macrophages, dendritic cells, granulocytes, NK cells, innate lymphocytes-iNKT and ILCs. In addition, the contribution of alveolar epithelial cell and endothelial cells that constitutes the mucosal barrier in TB immunity will be discussed. Gaining insights into the early cellular basis of immune reactions to Mtb infection is crucial for our understanding of Mtb resistance and disease tolerance mechanisms. We argue that a better understanding of the early host-pathogen interactions could inform on future vaccination approaches and devise intervention strategies.

Abstract
Cancer and microbial infections are significant worldwide health challenges. Numerous studies have demonstrated that bacteria may contribute to the emergence of cancer. In this review, we assemble bacterial species discovered in various cancers to describe their variety and specificity. The relationship between bacteria and macrophages in cancer is also highlighted, and we look for ample proof to establish a biological basis for bacterial-induced macrophage polarization. Finally, we quickly go over the potential roles of metabolites, cytokines, and microRNAs in the regulation of the tumor microenvironment by bacterially activated macrophages. The complexity of bacteria and macrophages in cancer will be revealed as we gain a better understanding of their pathogenic mechanisms, which will lead to new therapeutic approaches for both inflammatory illnesses and cancer.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of Tuberculosis (TB), remains a pathogen of great interest on a global scale. This airborne pathogen affects the lungs, where it interacts with macrophages. Acidic pH, oxidative and nitrosative stressors, and food restrictions make the macrophage's internal milieu unfriendly to foreign bodies. Mtb subverts the host immune system and causes infection due to its genetic arsenal and secreted effector proteins. In vivo and in vitro research have examined Mtb-host macrophage interaction. This interaction is a crucial stage in Mtb infection because lung macrophages are the first immune cells Mtb encounters in the host. This review summarizes Mtb effectors that interact with macrophages. It also examines how macrophages control and eliminate Mtb and how Mtb manipulates macrophage defense mechanisms for its own survival. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for TB prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

Grossamide attenuates inflammation by balancing macrophage polarization through metabolic reprogramming of macrophages in mice. Int Immunopharmacol 2022; 112:109190. [PMID: 36116152 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2022.109190] [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: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Macrophages exhibited different phenotypes in response to environmental cues. To meet the needs of rapid response to stimuli, M1-activated macrophages preferred glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in mitochondria to quickly produce energy and obtain ample raw materials to support cell activation at the same time. Activated macrophages produced free radicals and cytokines to eradicate pathogens but also induced oxidative damage and enhanced inflammation. Grossamide (GSE), a lignanamide from Polygonum multiflorum Thunb., exhibited notable anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, the potential of GSE on macrophage polarization was explored. GSE significantly down-regulated the levels of M1 macrophage biomarkers (Cd32a, Cd80 and Cd86) while increased the levels of M2 indicators (Cd163, Mrc1 and Socs1), showing its potential to inhibit LPS-induced M1 polarization of macrophages. This ability has close a link to its effect on metabolic reprogramming of macrophage. GSE shunted nitric oxide (NO) production from arginine by up-regulation of arginase and down-regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase, thus attenuated the inhibition of NO on OXPHOS. LPS created three breakpoints in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) cycle of macrophage as evidenced by down-regulated isocitrate dehydrogenase, accumulation of succinate and the inhibited SDH activity, significantly decreased level of oxoglutarate dehydrogenase expression and its substrate α-ketoglutarate. Thus GSE reduced oxidative stress and amended fragmented TCA cycle. As a result, GSE maintained redox (NAD+/NADH) and energy (ATP/ADP) state, reduced extracellular acidification rate and enhanced the oxygen consumption rate. In addition, GSE decreased the release of inflammatory cytokines by inhibiting the activation of the LPS/TLR4/NF-κB pathway. These findings highlighted the central role of immunometabolism of macrophages in its functional plasticity, which invited future study of mode of action of anti-inflammatory drugs from viewpoint of metabolic reprogramming.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the causative agent of human tuberculosis (TB) which primarily infects the macrophages. Nearly a quarter of the world's population is infected latently by Mtb. Only around 5%-10% of those infected develop active TB disease, particularly during suppressed host immune conditions or comorbidity such as HIV, hinting toward the heterogeneity of Mtb infection. The aerosolized Mtb first reaches the lungs, and the resident alveolar macrophages (AMs) are among the first cells to encounter the Mtb infection. Evidence suggests that early clearance of Mtb infection is associated with robust innate immune responses in resident macrophages. In addition to lung-resident macrophage subsets, the recruited monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) have been suggested to have a protective role during Mtb infection. Mtb, by virtue of its unique cell surface lipids and secreted protein effectors, can evade killing by the innate immune cells and preferentially establish a niche within the AMs. Continuous efforts to delineate the determinants of host defense mechanisms have brought to the center stage the crucial role of macrophage phenotypical variations for functional adaptations in TB. The morphological and functional heterogeneity and plasticity of the macrophages aid in confining the dissemination of Mtb. However, during a suppressed or hyperactivated immune state, the Mtb virulence factors can affect macrophage homeostasis which may skew to favor pathogen growth, causing active TB. This mini-review is aimed at summarizing the interplay of Mtb pathomechanisms in the macrophages and the implications of macrophage heterogeneity and plasticity during Mtb infection.

Abstract
Background Metastatic osteosarcoma is a common and fatal bone tumor. Several studies have found that tumor-infiltrating immune cells play pivotal roles in the progression of metastatic osteosarcoma. However, the heterogeneity of infiltrating immune cells across metastatic and primary osteosarcoma remains unclear. Methods Immune infiltration analysis was carried out via the “ESTIMATE” and “xCell” algorithms in primary and metastatic osteosarcoma. Then, we evaluated the prognostic value of infiltrating immune cells in 85 osteosarcomas through the Kaplan–Meier (K-M) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Infiltrations of macrophage M1 and M2 were evaluated in metastatic osteosarcoma, as well as their correlation with immune checkpoints. Macrophage-related prognostic genes were identified through Weighted Gene Coexpression Network Analysis (WGCNA), Lasso analysis, and Random Forest algorithm. Finally, a macrophage-related risk model had been constructed and validated. Results Macrophages, especially the macrophage M1, sparingly infiltrated in metastatic compared with the primary osteosarcoma and predicted the worse overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Macrophage M1 was positively correlated with immune checkpoints PDCD1, CD274 (PD-L1), PDCD1LG2, CTLA4, and TIGIT. In addition, four macrophage-related prognostic genes (IL10, VAV1, CD14, and CCL2) had been identified, and the macrophage-related risk model had been validated to be reliable for evaluating prognosis in osteosarcoma. Simultaneously, the risk score showed a strong correlation with several immune checkpoints. Conclusion Macrophages potentially contribute to the regulation of osteosarcoma metastasis. It can be used as a candidate marker for metastatic osteosarcoma' prognosis and immune checkpoints blockades (ICBs) therapy. We constructed a macrophage-related risk model through machine-learning, which might help us evaluate patients' prognosis and response to ICBs therapy.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) causes chronic granulomatous lung disease in humans. Recently, novel strategies such as host-directed therapeutics and adjunctive therapies that enhance the effect of existing antibiotics have emerged to better control Mtb infection. Recent advances in understanding the metabolic interplay between host immune cells and pathogens have provided new insights into how their interactions ultimately influence disease outcomes and antibiotic-treatment efficacy. In this review, we describe how metabolic cascades in immune environments and relevant metabolites produced from immune cells during Mtb infection play critical roles in the progression of diseases and induction of anti-Mtb protective immunity. In addition, we introduce how metabolic alterations in Mtb itself can lead to the development of persister cells that are resistant to host immunity and can eventually evade antibiotic attacks. Further understanding of the metabolic link between host cells and Mtb may contribute to not only the prevention of Mtb persister development but also the optimization of host anti-Mtb immunity together with enhanced efficacy of existing antibiotics. Overall, this review highlights novel approaches to improve and develop host-mediated therapeutic strategies against Mtb infection by restoring and switching pathogen-favoring metabolic conditions with host-favoring conditions.

Abstract
Purpose To identify candidate hub genes and miRNAs associated with active tuberculosis (ATB) and reveal the potential molecular mechanisms of disease progression. Patients and Methods The expression of mRNA and miRNA was evaluated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 4 ATB patients and 4 healthy donors (HD) using high throughput sequencing (HTS) and bioinformatics analysis. Moreover, differentially expressed miRNAs were validated with 35 ATB patients and 35 HDs using reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). Results A total of 2658 significantly differentially expressed genes (DEG) including 1415 up-regulated genes and 1243 down-regulated genes were identified in the ATB group compared with HDs, and the DEGs enriched in immune-related pathways, especially in TNF signaling pathway, cytokine–cytokine receptor interaction, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways and tuberculosis. Additionally, 10 hub genes were acquired according to protein–protein interaction (PPI) analysis of DEGs. Moreover, 26 differentially expressed miRNAs were found in ATB group compared with HDs. Furthermore, RT-qPCR results showed that hsa-miR-23a-5p (P=0.0106), hsa-miR-183-5p (P=0.0027), hsa-miR-193a-5p (P=0.0021) and hsa-miR-941(P=0.0001) were significantly increased in the ATB patients compared with HD group, and the hsa-miR-16-1-3p was significantly decreased (P=0.0032). Conclusion Our research provided a characteristic profile of mRNAs and miRNAs expressed in ATB subjects, and 10 hub genes related with ATB were found, which will contribute to explore the role of miRNAs and hub genes in the pathogenesis of ATB, and improve the ability of differential diagnosis and treatment for the disease.

Abstract
Macrophages play an integral role in host defenses against intracellular bacterial pathogens. A remarkable plasticity allows for adaptation to the needs of the host to orchestrate versatile innate immune responses to a variety of microbial threats. Several bacterial pathogens have adapted to macrophage plasticity and modulate the classical (M1) or alternative (M2) activation bias towards a polarization state that increases fitness for intracellular survival. Here, we summarize the current understanding of the host macrophage and intracellular bacterial interface; highlighting the roles of M1/M2 polarization in host defense and the mechanisms employed by several important intracellular pathogens to modulate macrophage polarization to favor persistence or proliferation. Understanding macrophage polarization in the context of disease caused by different bacterial pathogens is important for the identification of targets for therapeutic intervention.
