Abstract
Mast cells (MCs) accumulate in a broad range of tumors, including melanomas. While MCs are potent initiators of immunity in infection, and in allergic inflammation, the function of MCs in anti-melanoma immunity is unclear. MCs have the potential to release tumoricidal cytokines and proteases, to activate antigen-presenting cells and to promote anti-tumor adaptive immunity. However, within the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), MC activation may promote angiogenesis and contribute to tumor growth. In this review, the relationship between MCs and melanomas is discussed with a focus on the impact of the TME on MC activation.

Pi-Pa-Run-Fei-Tang alleviates lung injury by modulating IL-6/JAK2/STAT3/IL-17 and PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway and balancing Th17 and Treg in murine model of OVA-induced asthma. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 317:116719. [PMID: 37268260 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.116719] [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: 04/06/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/04/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Pi-Pa-Run-Fei-Tang (PPRFT) is an empirical TCM prescription for treating asthma. However, the underlying mechanisms of PPRFT in asthma treatment have yet to be elucidated. Recent advances have revealed that some natural components could ameliorate asthma injury by affecting host metabolism. Untargeted metabolomics can be used to better understand the biological mechanisms underlying asthma development and identify early biomarkers that can help advance treatment. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to verification the efficacy of PPRFT in the treatment of asthma and to preliminarily explore its mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS A mouse asthma model was built by OVA induction. Inflammatory cell in BALF was counted. The level of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α in BALF were measured. The levels of IgE in the serum and EPO, NO, SOD, GSH-Px, and MDA in the lung tissue were measured. Furthermore, pathological damage to the lung tissues was detected to evaluate the protective effects of PPRFT. The serum metabolomic profiles of PPRFT in asthmatic mice were determined by GC-MS. The regulatory effects on mechanism pathways of PPRFT in asthmatic mice were explored via immunohistochemical staining and western blotting analysis. RESULTS PPRFT displayed lung-protective effects through decreasing oxidative stress, airway inflammation, and lung tissue damage in OVA-induced mice, which was demonstrated by decreasing inflammatory cell levels, IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels in BALF, and IgE levels in serum, decreasing EPO, NO, and MDA levels in lung tissue, elevating SOD and GSH-Px levels in lung tissue and lung histopathological changes. In addition, PPRFT could regulate the imbalance in Th17/Treg cell ratios, suppress RORγt, and increase the expression of IL-10 and Foxp3 in the lung. Moreover, PPRFT treatment led to decreased expression of IL-6, p-JAK2/Jak2, p-STAT3/STAT3, IL-17, NF-κB, p-AKT/AKT, and p-PI3K/PI3K. Serum metabolomics analysis revealed that 35 metabolites were significantly different among different groups. Pathway enrichment analysis indicated that 31 pathways were involved. Moreover, correlation analysis and metabolic pathway analysis identified three key metabolic pathways: galactose metabolism; tricarboxylic acid cycle; and glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism. CONCLUSION This research indicated that PPRFT treatment not only attenuates the clinical symptoms of asthma but is also involved in regulating serum metabolism. The anti-asthmatic activity of PPRFT may be associated with the regulatory effects of IL-6/JAK2/STAT3/IL-17 and PI3K/AKT/NF-κB mechanistic pathways.

Abstract
The high incidence, low healing rate and huge economic burden of wounds (especially chronic wounds) worldwide remain a great challenge for clinical staff and patients. The various stages of wound healing are regulated by paracrine or autocrine cytokines and growth factors, and the study of their intrinsic mechanisms is a prerequisite for better wound treatment. Lactate, the end product of glycolysis, plays a role in all stages of wound healing, and recent studies have identified lactate as an epigenetic regulator that regulates gene expression through histone lysine lactylation and stimulates posttranslational modifications to regulate related gene expression, thereby causing a series of biological functional changes. This article reviews the progress of research on lactate and lactylation during wound healing or in related diseases, including its involvement in immune regulation, inflammation control, and proliferative remodeling, and finally describes the prospects for lactate therapy regarding wound healing.

Abstract
As the most abundant immunoglobulin in blood and the most common human isotype used for therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, the engagement and activation of its Fc receptors by IgGs are crucial for antibody function. Assumed to be relatively constant within subtypes, recent studies reveal that antibody variable regions exert distal effects of modulating antibody-receptor interactions on antibody isotypes. These variable (V)-region distal effects are also expected for the IgG subtypes. With an in-depth understanding of the V-region effects, researchers can make a more informed antibody engineering approach and antibody purification strategy accounting for the functions of microbial immune evasion . In this study, we created a panel of IgG2/IgG3/IgG4 antibodies by changing the VH family (VH1-7) frameworks while retaining the complementary determining regions of pertumuzab and measured their interactions with FcγRIa, FcγRIIaH167, FcγRIIaR167, FcγRIIb/c, FcγRIIIaF176, FcγRIIIaV176, FcγRIIIbNA1 and FcγRIIIbNA2 receptors alongside B-cell superantigens Protein L and G using biolayer interferometry. The panel of 21 IgGs demonstrated that the VH frameworks influenced receptor binding sites on the constant region in a non-canonical manner. However, there was minimal influence on the binding of bacterial B-cell superantigens Proteins L and Protein G on the IgGs, showing their robustness against V-region effects. These results demonstrate the role of V-regions during the humanization of therapeutic antibodies that can influence FcR-dependent immune responses while retaining binding by bacterial B-cell superantigens for antibody purification. These in vitro measurements provide a clue to detailed antibody engineering and understanding of antibody superantigen functions that would be relevant with in vivo validation.

Abstract
Recent findings about the new roles of lactate have changed our understanding of this end product of glycolysis or fermentation that was once considered only a waste product. It is now well accepted that lactate acts as a signaling molecule and fuel source for cancer cells in a glucose-restricted environment. Moreover, lactate and lactate dehydrogenase are markers of poor prognosis of many cancers and regulate many functions of immune cells. The presence of lactate in the tumor microenvironment (TME) leads to polarization of the immunosuppressive phenotypes of dendritic cells and impairs the cytotoxic abilities of T cells and NK cells, and as such lactate is a major obstacle to immune-cell effector functions and the efficacy of cell-based immunotherapies. Emerging evidence suggests that lactate in the TME might be a novel therapeutic target to enhance the immunotherapeutic potential of cell-based therapies. This review describes our current understanding of the role of lactate in tumor biology, including its detrimental effects on cell-based immunotherapy in cancer. We also highlight how the role of lactate in the TME must be considered when producing cell therapies designed for adoptive transfer and describe how targeted modulation of lactate in the TME might boost immune-cell functions and positively impact cellular immunotherapy, with a focus on NK cell.

Abstract
The current understanding of lactate extends from its origins as a byproduct of glycolysis to its role in tumor metabolism, as identified by studies on the Warburg effect. The lactate shuttle hypothesis suggests that lactate plays an important role as a bridging signaling molecule that coordinates signaling among different cells, organs and tissues. Lactylation is a posttranslational modification initially reported by Professor Yingming Zhao’s research group in 2019. Subsequent studies confirmed that lactylation is a vital component of lactate function and is involved in tumor proliferation, neural excitation, inflammation and other biological processes. An indispensable substance for various physiological cellular functions, lactate plays a regulatory role in different aspects of energy metabolism and signal transduction. Therefore, a comprehensive review and summary of lactate is presented to clarify the role of lactate in disease and to provide a reference and direction for future research. This review offers a systematic overview of lactate homeostasis and its roles in physiological and pathological processes, as well as a comprehensive overview of the effects of lactylation in various diseases, particularly inflammation and cancer.

Abstract
During an inflammatory process, shift in the cellular metabolism associated with an increase in extracellular acidification are well-known features. This pH drop in the inflamed tissue is largely attributed to the presence of lactate by an increase in glycolysis. In recent years, evidence has accumulated describing the role of lactate in inflammatory processes; however, there are differences as to whether lactate can currently be considered a pro- or anti-inflammatory mediator. Herein, we review these recent advances on the pleiotropic effects of lactate on the inflammatory process. Taken together, the evidence suggests that lactate could exert differential effects depending on the metabolic status, cell type in which the effects of lactate are studied, and the pathological process analyzed. Additionally, various targets, including post-translational modifications, G-protein coupled receptor and transcription factor activation such as NF-κB and HIF-1, allow lactate to modulate signaling pathways that control the expression of cytokines, chemokines, adhesion molecules, and several enzymes associated with immune response and metabolism. Altogether, this would explain its varied effects on inflammatory processes beyond its well-known role as a waste product of metabolism.

Abstract
Lactate and the associated H+ ions are still introduced in many biochemistry and general biology textbooks and courses as a metabolic by-product within fast or oxygen-independent glycolysis. However, the role of lactate as a fuel source has been well-appreciated in the field of physiology, and the role of lactate as a metabolic feedback regulator and distinct signaling molecule is beginning to gain traction in the field of immunology. We now know that while lactate and the associated H+ ions are generally immunosuppressive negative regulators, there are cell, receptor, mediator, and microenvironment-specific effects that augment T helper (Th)17, macrophage (M)2, tumor-associated macrophage, and neutrophil functions. Moreover, we are beginning to uncover how lactate and H+ utilize different transporters and signaling cascades in various immune cell types. These immunomodulatory effects may have a substantial impact in cancer, sepsis, autoimmunity, wound healing, and other immunomodulatory conditions with elevated lactate levels. In this article, we summarize the known effects of lactate and H+ on immune cells to hypothesize potential explanations for the divergent inflammatory vs. anti-inflammatory effects.

Abstract
Lactate used to be considered as a waste product of glucose metabolism. However, accumulating evidence has revealed its crucial role in regulating various biological and pathological processes. Hypoxia, inflammation, viral infection, and tumor promote the production of lactate. Then lactate activates G protein-coupled receptor 81 (GPR81) or shuttles across membranes by monocarboxylate-transporters (MCTs) to execute its intricate effects. Many studies highlighted the function of lactate in regulating dendritic cells, monocytes, natural killer cells, mast cells, T cells, tumor cells, fibroblasts, macrophages polarization, and the differentiation of Th1, Th17, MDSCs, Tregs; all of which play a role in maintaining the immune homeostasis of the host when challenged with the noxious stimuli. In this review, we summarized the influence of lactate in diverse tissue-specific cells, and discuss their effects on viral infection, acute inflammation, chronic inflammation, sepsis, and tumor immunosuppression. The goal of this review is to expose that lactate has a double-edged effect on host immunity and accompanying inflammatory reactions, which could be a potentially effective target for treating the tumor and multiple infectious diseases.

Abstract
MAS related G-protein coupled receptor X2 (MRGPRX2) is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) expressed in human mast cells that has been implicated to play an important role in causing pseudo-allergic reactions as well as exacerbating inflammation during asthma and other allergic diseases. Lactic acid, a byproduct of glucose metabolism, is abundantly present in inflamed tissues and has been shown to regulate functions of several immune cells. Because the endogenous ligands for MRGPRX2 (substance P and LL-37) are elevated during pathologic conditions, such as cancer and asthma, and given that lactic acid levels are also enhanced in these patients, we explored the role of lactic acid in regulating mast cells response via MRGPRX2 and MrgprB2, the mouse orthologue of the human receptor. We found that lactic acid suppressed both the early (Ca2+ mobilization and degranulation) and late (chemokine/cytokine release) phases of mast cell activation; this data was confirmed in LAD2, human skin and mouse peritoneal mast cells. In LAD2 cells, the reduction in degranulation and chemokine/cytokine production mediated by lactic acid was dependent on pH. In agreement with our in vitro studies, lactic acid also reduced passive systemic anaphylaxis to compound 48/80 (a known MRGPRX2/MrgprB2 ligand) and skin inflammation in a mouse model of rosacea that is dependent on MrgprB2 expression on skin mast cells. Our data thus suggest that lactic acid may serve to inhibit mast cell-mediated inflammation during asthma and reduce immune response during cancer by affecting mast cell activation through MRGPRX2.

Abstract
For decades, lactate has been considered an innocuous bystander metabolite of cellular metabolism. However, emerging studies show that lactate acts as a complex immunomodulatory molecule that controls innate and adaptive immune cells’ effector functions. Thus, recent advances point to lactate as an essential and novel signaling molecule that shapes innate and adaptive immune responses in the intestine and systemic sites. Here, we review these recent advances in the context of the pleiotropic effects of lactate in regulating diverse functions of immune cells in the tissue microenvironment and under pathological conditions.

Abstract
Anaphylaxis is an acute and life-threatening systemic reaction. Food, drug, aero-allergen and insect sting are known to induce anaphylaxis. Mast cells and basophils are known to mediate Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-dependent anaphylaxis, while macrophages, neutrophils and basophils mediate non IgE-dependent anaphylaxis. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play various roles in biological processes by deacetylating histones and non-histones proteins. HDAC inhibitors can increase the acetylation of target proteins and affect various inflammatory diseases such as cancers and allergic diseases. HDAC3, a class I HDAC, is known to act as epigenetic and transcriptional regulators. It has been shown that HDAC3 can interact with the high-affinity Immunoglobulin E receptor (FcεRI), to mediate passive anaphylaxis and cellular interactions during passive anaphylaxis. Effects of HDAC3 on anaphylaxis, cellular interactions involving mast cells and macrophages during anaphylaxis, and any tumorigenic potential of cancer cells enhanced by mast cells will be discussed in this review. Roles of microRNAs that form negative feedback loops with hallmarks of anaphylaxis such as HDAC3 in anaphylaxis and cellular interactions will also be discussed. The roles of MCP1 regulated by HDAC3 in cellular interactions during anaphylaxis are discussed. Roles of exosomes in cellular interactions mediated by HDAC3 during anaphylaxis are also discussed. Thus, review might provide clues for development of drugs targeting passive anaphylaxis.
