Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage leads to a series of pathological changes, including vascular spasm, cellular apoptosis, blood-brain barrier damage, cerebral edema, and white matter injury. Microglia, which are the key immune cells in the central nervous system, maintain homeostasis in the neural environment, support neurons, mediate apoptosis, participate in immune regulation, and have neuroprotective effects. Increasing evidence has shown that microglia play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of subarachnoid hemorrhage and affect the process of injury and the prognosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Moreover, microglia play certain neuroprotective roles in the recovery phase of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Several approaches aimed at modulating microglia function are believed to attenuate subarachnoid hemorrhage injury. This provides new targets and ideas for the treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, an in-depth and comprehensive summary of the role of microglia after subarachnoid hemorrhage is still lacking. This review describes the activation of microglia after subarachnoid hemorrhage and their roles in the pathological processes of vasospasm, neuroinflammation, neuronal apoptosis, blood-brain barrier disruption, cerebral edema, and cerebral white matter lesions. It also discusses the neuroprotective roles of microglia during recovery from subarachnoid hemorrhage and therapeutic advances aimed at modulating microglial function after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Currently, microglia in subarachnoid hemorrhage are targeted with TLR inhibitors, nuclear factor-κB and STAT3 pathway inhibitors, glycine/tyrosine kinases, NLRP3 signaling pathway inhibitors, Gasdermin D inhibitors, vincristine receptor α receptor agonists, ferroptosis inhibitors, genetic modification techniques, stem cell therapies, and traditional Chinese medicine. However, most of these are still being evaluated at the laboratory stage. More clinical studies and data on subarachnoid hemorrhage are required to improve the treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Abstract
Macrophages make up a heterogeneous population of immune cells that exhibit diverse phenotypes and functions in health and disease. Although macrophage epigenomic and transcriptomic profiles have been reported, the proteomes of distinct macrophage populations under various pathological conditions remain largely elusive. Here, we employed a label-free proteomic approach to characterize the diversity of the hepatic macrophage pool in an experimental model of CCl4-induced liver fibrosis. We found a decrease in the proportion of liver resident embryo-derived KCs (EmKCs), and a drastic increase in the proportion of monocyte-derived KCs (MoKCs) and CLEC2-Macs. Proteomic profiling revealed that MoKCs largely resembled EmKCs, whereas CLEC2-Macs exhibited greater proteomic alternations compared with EmKCs, suggesting two distinct destinations for monocyte differentiation during liver fibrosis. Furthermore, CLEC2-Macs were characterized by increased expression of proteins associated with inflammatory response, antigen processing and presentation processes, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis. Collectively, our study provides insights into the considerable heterogeneity within the hepatic macrophage pool during liver fibrosis.

Human yolk sac-derived innate lymphoid-biased multipotent progenitors emerge prior to hematopoietic stem cell formation. Dev Cell 2024; 59:2626-2642.e6.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-independent lymphopoiesis has been elucidated in murine embryos. However, our understanding regarding human embryonic counterparts remains limited. Here, we demonstrated the presence of human yolk sac-derived lymphoid-biased progenitors (YSLPs) expressing CD34, IL7R, LTB, and IRF8 at Carnegie stage 10, much earlier than the first HSC emergence. The number and lymphopoietic potential of these progenitors were both significantly higher in the yolk sac than the embryo proper at this early stage. Importantly, single-cell/bulk culture and CITE-seq have elucidated the tendency of YSLP to differentiate into innate lymphoid cells and dendritic cells. Notably, lymphoid progenitors in fetal liver before and after HSC seeding displayed distinct transcriptional features, with the former closely resembling those of YSLPs. Overall, our data identified the origin, potential, and migratory dynamics of innate lymphoid-biased multipotent progenitors in human yolk sac before HSC emergence, providing insights for understanding the stepwise establishment of innate immune system in humans.

Abstract
The skin serves as a complex barrier organ populated by tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs), which play critical roles in defense, homeostasis, and tissue repair. This review examines the functions of dermis resident TRMs in different inflammatory settings, their embryonic origins, and their long-term self-renewal capabilities. We highlight the M2-like phenotype of dermal TRMs and their specialized functions in perivascular and perineuronal niches. Their interactions with type 2 immune cells, autocrine cytokines such as IL-10, and their phagocytic clearance of apoptotic cells have been explored as mechanisms for M2-like dermal TRM self-maintenance and function. In conclusion, we address the need to bridge murine models with human studies, with the possibility of targeting TRMs to promote skin immunity or restrain cutaneous pathology.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review summarizes the recently published scientific evidence regarding the role of efferocytosis in bone dynamics and skeletal health. RECENT FINDINGS Several types of efferocytes have been identified within the skeleton, with macrophages being the most extensively studied. Efferocytosis is not merely a 'clean-up' process vital for maintaining skeletal homeostasis; it also plays a crucial role in promoting resolution pathways and orchestrating bone dynamics, such as osteoblast-osteoclast coupling during bone remodeling. Impaired efferocytosis has been associated with aging-related bone loss and various skeletal pathologies, including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and metastatic bone diseases. Accordingly, emerging evidence suggests that targeting efferocytic mechanisms has the potential to alleviate these conditions. While efferocytosis remains underexplored in the skeleton, recent discoveries have shed light on its pivotal role in bone dynamics, with important implications for skeletal health and pathology. However, there are several knowledge gaps and persisting technical limitations that must be addressed to fully unveil the contributions of efferocytosis in bone.

Abstract
The global obesity epidemic, with its associated comorbidities and increased risk of early mortality, underscores the urgent need for enhancing our understanding of the origins of this complex disease. It is increasingly clear that metabolism is programmed early in life and that metabolic programming can have life-long health consequences. As a critical metabolic organ sensitive to early-life stimuli, proper development of adipose tissue (AT) is crucial for life-long energy homeostasis. Early-life nutrients, especially fatty acids (FAs), significantly influence the programming of AT and shape its function and metabolism. Of growing interest are the dynamic responses during pre- and postnatal development to proinflammatory omega-6 (n6) and anti-inflammatory omega-3 (n3) FA exposures in AT. In the US maternal diet, the ratio of "pro-inflammatory" n6- to "anti-inflammatory" n3-FAs has grown dramatically due to the greater prevalence of n6-FAs. Notably, AT macrophages (ATMs) form a significant population within adipose stromal cells, playing not only an instrumental role in AT formation and maintenance but also acting as key mediators of cell-to-cell lipid and cytokine signaling. Despite rapid advances in ATM and immunometabolism fields, research has focused on responses to obesogenic diets and during adulthood. Consequently, there is a significant gap in identifying the mechanisms contributing metabolic health, especially regarding lipid exposures during the establishment of ATM physiology. Our review highlights the current understanding of ATM diversity, their critical role in AT, their potential role in early-life metabolic programming, and the broader implications for metabolism and health.

Abstract
Kidney stone disease (KSD) is a major public health concern associated with high morbidity and recurrence, places a significant burden on the health care system worldwide. Calcium oxalate (CaOx) alone or a mixture of CaOx and calcium phosphate stones accounting for more than 80 % of cases. However, beyond surgical removal, the prevention and reduction of recurrence of CaOx kidney stones have always been a challenge. Given that macrophages are traditional innate immune cells that play critical roles in the clearance of pathogens and the maintenance of tissue homeostasis, which have gained more and more interests in nephrolithiasis. Several studies recently clearly demonstrated that M2-macrophage could reduce the renal calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal acumination, and provide premise insights and therapeutic options for KSD by modulating the macrophage phenotypes. However, the mechanism of macrophage-polarization regulation and that effects on kidney stone prevention and treatments are far from clear. Here, we comprehensively reviewed the literatures related to cytokines, epigenetic modifications and metabolic reprograming of macrophage in CaOx kidney stone disease, aimed to provide better understandings on macrophage polarization regulation as well as its potential clinical applications in CaOx kidney stone disease treatments and prevention.

Abstract
Hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis and associated cardiovascular diseases. The liver plays a key role in the regulation of plasma cholesterol levels and hosts a large population of tissue-resident macrophages known as Kupffer cells (KCs). KCs are located in the hepatic sinusoids where they ensure key functions including blood immune surveillance. However, how KCs homeostasis is affected by the build-up of cholesterol-rich lipoproteins that occurs in the circulation during hypercholesterolemia remains unknown. Here, we show that embryo-derived KCs (EmKCs) accumulate large amounts of lipoprotein-derived cholesterol, in part through the scavenger receptor CD36, and massively expand early after the induction of hypercholesterolemia. After this rapid adaptive response, EmKCs exhibit mitochondrial oxidative stress and their numbers gradually diminish while monocyte-derived KCs (MoKCs) with reduced cholesterol-loading capacities seed the KC pool. Decreased proportion of EmKCs in the KC pool enhances liver cholesterol content and exacerbates hypercholesterolemia, leading to accelerated atherosclerotic plaque development. Together, our data reveal that KC homeostasis is perturbed during hypercholesterolemia, which in turn alters the control of plasma cholesterol levels and increases atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Macrophages are innate immune cells that are present in essentially all tissues, where they have vital roles in tissue development, homeostasis and pathogenesis. The importance of macrophages in tissue function is reflected by their association with various human diseases, and studying macrophage functions in both homeostasis and pathological tissue settings is a promising avenue for new targeted therapies that will improve human health. The ability to generate macrophages from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells has revolutionized macrophage biology, with the generation of iPS cell-derived macrophages (iMacs) providing unlimited access to genotype-specific cells that can be used to model various human diseases involving macrophage dysregulation. Such disease modelling is achieved by generating iPS cells from patient-derived cells carrying disease-related mutations or by introducing mutations into iPS cells from healthy donors using CRISPR-Cas9 technology. These iMacs that carry disease-related mutations can be used to study the aetiology of the particular disease in vitro. To achieve more physiological relevance, iMacs can be co-cultured in 2D systems with iPS cell-derived cells or in 3D systems with iPS cell-derived organoids. Here, we discuss the studies that have attempted to model various human diseases using iMacs, highlighting how these have advanced our knowledge about the role of macrophages in health and disease.

Dietary Aflatoxin G 1 exposure causes an imbalance between pulmonary tissue-resident alveolar macrophages and monocyte-derived macrophages in both mother and offspring mice. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 285:117082. [PMID: 39317075 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.117082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2024] [Revised: 09/03/2024] [Accepted: 09/18/2024] [Indexed: 09/26/2024]
Abstract
Aflatoxin G1 (AFG1) is a mycotoxin commonly found in agricultural products, including dried fruits, meat, and milk products. Oral AFG1 administration induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-dependent chronic pulmonary inflammation, promoting AFG1-induced damage in alveolar epithelial cell, which is associated with lung adenocarcinoma. Pulmonary macrophages may be divided into tissue-resident alveolar macrophages (TRAMs) and monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMs), which involve in chronic lung inflammation. However, whether these macrophages contribute to AFG1-induced chronic pulmonary inflammation remains unknown. In this study, we found oral AFG1 administration disrupted the balance between TRAMs and MoMs, increasing MoMs infiltration and decreasing the number of TRAMs. AFG1 upregulated TNF-α expression in MoMs, but downregulated sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin F (Siglec-F) expression in TRAMs. Inhibition of TNF-α-dependent inflammation rescued the imbalance between TRAMs and MoMs in AFG1-treated lung tissues. Additionally, AFG1 stimulated MoMs differentiation to the proinflammatory M1 phenotype in vitro. Using a specific in vitro TRAM model, AFG1 downregulated Siglec-F and the M2 phenotypic markers arginase 1 and YM1, and upregulated the M1 phenotypic markers IL-6, iNOS and TNF-α, altering the TRAMs phenotype to the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype in vitro. Additionally, mouse maternal dietary exposure to AFG1 caused an imbalance in pulmonary macrophages, decreasing TRAMs and increasing MoMs population in offspring, which was associated with proliferative lesions in the alveolar septa. Thus, dietary AFG1 exposure triggered an imbalance in pulmonary macrophages in both mother and offspring mice, and induced pro-inflammatory phenotypic alterations, which contributed to AFG1-induced chronic lung inflammation. These results provide clues to how AFG1-induced immunotoxicity and genotoxicity in humans might be prevented.

Mucosal Immunol 2024:S1933-0219(24)00091-6. [PMID: 39255854 DOI: 10.1016/j.mucimm.2024.08.011] [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: 06/25/2024] [Revised: 08/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/30/2024] [Indexed: 09/12/2024]
Abstract
Dietary micronutrients, particularly vitamin B12 (VB12), profoundly influence the physiological maintenance and function of intestinal cells. However, it is still unclear whether VB12 modulates the transcriptional and metabolic programming of ileal macrophages (iMacs), thereby contributing to intestinal homeostasis. Using multiomic approaches, we demonstrated that VB12 primarily supports the cell cycle activity and mitochondrial metabolism of iMacs, resulting in increased cell frequency compared to VB12 deficiency. VB12 also retained the ability to promote maintenance and metabolic regulation of iMacs during intestinal infection with Salmonella Typhimurium (STm). On the contrary, depletion of iMacs by inhibiting CSF1R signaling significantly increased host susceptibility to STm and prevented VB12-mediated pathogen reduction. These results thus suggest that regulation of VB12-dependent iMacs critically controls STm expansion, which may be of new relevance to advance our understanding of this vitamin and to strategically formulate sustainable therapeutic nutritional regimens that improve human gut health.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its more advanced form, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), have become global health challenges with significant morbidity and mortality rates. NAFLD encompasses several liver diseases, ranging from simple steatosis to more severe inflammatory and fibrotic forms. Ultimately, this can lead to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The intricate role of hepatic macrophages, particularly Kupffer cells (KCs) and monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMFs), in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and NASH, has received increasing attention. Hepatic macrophages can interact with hepatocytes, hepatic stellate cells, and endothelial cells, playing a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis. Paradoxically, they also participate in the pathogenesis of some liver diseases. This review highlights the fundamental role of hepatic macrophages in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and NASH, emphasizing their plasticity and contribution to inflammation and fibrosis, and hopes to provide ideas for subsequent experimental research and clinical treatment.

Abstract
Significance: The incidence of diabetes continues to rise throughout the world in an alarming rate. Diabetic patients often develop diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), many of which do not heal. Non-healing DFUs are a major cause of hospitalization, amputation, and increased morbidity. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of impaired healing in DFU is crucial for its management. Recent Advances: This review focuses on the recent advancements on macrophages and neutrophils in diabetic wounds and DFUs. In particular, we discuss diabetes-induced dysregulations and dysfunctions of macrophages and neutrophils. Critical Issues: It is well established that diabetic wounds are characterized by stalled inflammation that results in impaired healing. Recent findings in the field suggest that dysregulation of macrophages and neutrophils plays a critical role in impaired healing in DFUs. The delineation of mechanisms that restore macrophage and neutrophil function in diabetic wound healing is the focus of intense investigation. Future Directions: The breadth of recently generated knowledge on the activity of macrophages and neutrophils in diabetic wound healing is impressive. Experimental models have delineated pathways that hold promise for the treatment of diabetic wounds and DFUs. These pathways may be useful targets for further clinical investigation.

Abstract
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) encompasses metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver (MASL) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), with MASH posing a risk of progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The global prevalence of MASLD is estimated at approximately a quarter of the population, with significant healthcare costs and implications for liver transplantation. The pathogenesis of MASLD involves intrahepatic liver cells, extrahepatic components, and immunological aspects, particularly the involvement of macrophages. Hepatic macrophages are a crucial cellular component of the liver and play important roles in liver function, contributing significantly to tissue homeostasis and swift responses during pathophysiological conditions. Recent advancements in technology have revealed the remarkable heterogeneity and plasticity of hepatic macrophage populations and their activation states in MASLD, challenging traditional classification methods like the M1/M2 paradigm and highlighting the coexistence of harmful and beneficial macrophage phenotypes that are dynamically regulated during MASLD progression. This complexity underscores the importance of considering macrophage heterogeneity in therapeutic targeting strategies, including their distinct ontogeny and functional phenotypes. This review provides an overview of macrophage involvement in MASLD progression, combining traditional paradigms with recent insights from single-cell analysis and spatial dynamics. It also addresses unresolved questions and challenges in this area.

Abstract
While the main role of phagocytic scavenger cells consists of the neutralization and elimination of pathogens, they also keep the body fluids clean by taking up and breaking down waste material. Since a build-up of waste is thought to contribute to the aging process, these cells become particularly pertinent in the research field of aging. Nevertheless, a direct link between their scavenging functions and the aging process has yet to be established. Integrative approaches involving various model organisms hold promise to elucidate this potential, but are lagging behind since the diversity and evolutionary relationship of these cells across animal species remain unclear. In this perspective, we review the current knowledge associating phagocytic scavenger cells with aging in vertebrate and invertebrate animals, as well as put forward important questions for further exploration. Additionally, we highlight future challenges and propose a constructive approach for tackling them.

Abstract
Converging evidence indicates that extra-embryonic yolk sac is the source of both macrophages and endothelial cells in adult mouse tissues. Prevailing views are that these embryonically derived cells are maintained after birth by proliferative self-renewal in their differentiated states. Here we identify clonogenic endothelial-macrophage (EndoMac) progenitor cells in the adventitia of embryonic and postnatal mouse aorta, that are independent of Flt3-mediated bone marrow hematopoiesis and derive from an early embryonic CX3CR1+ and CSF1R+ source. These bipotent progenitors are proliferative and vasculogenic, contributing to adventitial neovascularization and formation of perfused blood vessels after transfer into ischemic tissue. We establish a regulatory role for angiotensin II, which enhances their clonogenic and differentiation properties and rapidly stimulates their proliferative expansion in vivo. Our findings demonstrate that embryonically derived EndoMac progenitors participate in local vasculogenic responses in the aortic wall by contributing to the expansion of endothelial cells and macrophages postnatally.

Abstract
Interaction of mast cells (MCs) with fibroblasts is essential for MC maturation within tissue microenvironments, although the underlying mechanism is incompletely understood. Through a phenotypic screening of >30 mouse lines deficient in lipid-related genes, we found that deletion of the lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor LPA1, like that of the phospholipase PLA2G3, the prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) synthase L-PGDS, or the PGD2 receptor DP1, impairs MC maturation and thereby anaphylaxis. Mechanistically, MC-secreted PLA2G3 acts on extracellular vesicles (EVs) to supply lysophospholipids, which are converted by fibroblast-derived autotaxin (ATX) to LPA. Fibroblast LPA1 then integrates multiple pathways required for MC maturation by facilitating integrin-mediated MC-fibroblast adhesion, IL-33-ST2 signaling, L-PGDS-driven PGD2 generation, and feedforward ATX-LPA1 amplification. Defective MC maturation resulting from PLA2G3 deficiency is restored by supplementation with LPA1 agonists or PLA2G3-modified EVs. Thus, the lipid-orchestrated paracrine circuit involving PLA2G3-driven lysophospholipid, eicosanoid, integrin, and cytokine signaling fine-tunes MC-fibroblast communication, ensuring MC maturation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Monocytes and macrophages play an indispensable role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis and modulating mucosal immune responses in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Although numerous studies have described macrophage properties in IBD, the underlying mechanisms whereby the monocyte-macrophage lineage modulates intestinal homeostasis during gut inflammation remain elusive. MAIN BODY In this review, we decipher the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing the generation of intestinal mucosal macrophages and fill the knowledge gap in understanding the origin, maturation, classification, and functions of mucosal macrophages in intestinal niches, particularly the phagocytosis and bactericidal effects involved in the elimination of cell debris and pathogens. We delineate macrophage-mediated immunoregulation in the context of producing pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, toxic mediators, and macrophage extracellular traps (METs), and participating in the modulation of epithelial cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and fibrosis in the intestine and its accessory tissues. Moreover, we emphasize that the maturation of intestinal macrophages is arrested at immature stage during IBD, and the deficiency of MCPIP1 involves in the process via ATF3-AP1S2 signature. In addition, we confirmed the origin potential of IL-1B+ macrophages and defined C1QB+ macrophages as mature macrophages. The interaction crosstalk between the intestine and the mesentery has been described in this review, and the expression of mesentery-derived SAA2 is upregulated during IBD, which contributes to immunoregulation of macrophage. Moreover, we also highlight IBD-related susceptibility genes (e.g., RUNX3, IL21R, GTF2I, and LILRB3) associated with the maturation and functions of macrophage, which provide promising therapeutic opportunities for treating human IBD. CONCLUSION In summary, this review provides a comprehensive, comprehensive, in-depth and novel description of the characteristics and functions of macrophages in IBD, and highlights the important role of macrophages in the molecular and cellular process during IBD.

Tumor associated macrophages as key contributors and targets in current and future therapies for melanoma. Expert Rev Clin Immunol 2024; 20:895-911. [PMID: 38533720 DOI: 10.1080/1744666x.2024.2326626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the success of immunotherapies for melanoma in recent years, there remains a significant proportion of patients who do not yet derive benefit from available treatments. Immunotherapies currently licensed for clinical use target the adaptive immune system, focussing on Tcell interactions and functions. However, the most prevalent immune cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME) of melanoma are macrophages, a diverse immune cell subset displaying high plasticity, to which no current therapies are yet directly targeted. Macrophages have been shown not only to activate the adaptive immune response, and enhance cancer cell killing, but, when influenced by factors within the TME of melanoma, these cells also promote melanoma tumorigenesis and metastasis. AREAS COVERED We present a review of the most up-to-date literatureavailable on PubMed, focussing on studies from within the last 10 years. We also include data from ongoing and recent clinical trials targeting macrophages in melanoma listed on clinicaltrials.gov. EXPERT OPINION Understanding the multifaceted role of macrophages in melanoma, including their interactions with immune and cancer cells, the influence of current therapies on macrophage phenotype and functions and how macrophages could be targeted with novel treatment approaches, are all critical for improving outcomes for patients with melanoma.

Abstract
Macrophages are widely distributed throughout various tissues of the body, and mounting evidence suggests their involvement in regulating the tissue microenvironment, thereby influencing disease onset and progression through direct or indirect actions. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), disturbances in renal functional homeostasis lead to inflammatory cell infiltration, tubular expansion, glomerular atrophy, and subsequent renal fibrosis. Macrophages play a pivotal role in this pathological process. Therefore, understanding their role is imperative for investigating CKD progression, mitigating its advancement, and offering novel research perspectives for fibrosis treatment from an immunological standpoint. This review primarily delves into the intrinsic characteristics of macrophages, their origins, diverse subtypes, and their associations with renal fibrosis. Particular emphasis is placed on the transition between M1 and M2 phenotypes. In late-stage CKD, there is a shift from the M1 to the M2 phenotype, accompanied by an increased prevalence of M2 macrophages. This transition is governed by the activation of the TGF-β1/SMAD3 and JAK/STAT pathways, which facilitate macrophage-to-myofibroblast transition (MMT). The tyrosine kinase Src is involved in both signaling cascades. By thoroughly elucidating macrophage functions and comprehending the modes and molecular mechanisms of macrophage-fibroblast interaction in the kidney, novel, tailored therapeutic strategies for preventing or attenuating the progression of CKD can be developed.

Abstract
The bone marrow is a specialized niche responsible for the maintenance of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells during homeostasis and inflammation. Recent studies, however, have extended this essential role to the extramedullary and extravascular lung microenvironment. Here, we provide further evidence for a reservoir of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells within the lung from Embryonic Day 18.5 until adulthood. These lung progenitors display distinct microenvironment-specific developmental kinetics compared with their bone marrow counterparts, exemplified by a rapid shift from a common myeloid to a megakaryocyte-erythrocyte progenitor-dominated niche with increasing age. In adult mice, influenza A viral infection results in a transient reduction in multipotent progenitors within the lungs, with a parallel increase in downstream granulocyte-monocyte progenitors and dendritic cell populations associated with acute viral infections. Our findings suggest that lung hematopoietic progenitors play a role in reestablishing immunological homeostasis in the respiratory mucosa, which may have significant clinical implications for maintaining pulmonary health after inflammatory perturbation.

Abstract
The first blood and immune cells in vertebrates emerge in the extraembryonic yolk sac. Throughout the last century, it has become evident that this extraembryonic tissue gives rise to transient primitive and definitive hematopoiesis but not hematopoietic stem cells. More recently, studies have elucidated that yolk sac-derived blood and immune cells are present far longer than originally expected. These cells take over essential roles for the survival and proper organogenesis of the developing fetus up until birth. In this review, we discuss the most recent findings and views on extraembryonic hematopoiesis in mice and humans.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction are closely intertwined with the pathophysiology of neurological disorders. Recent studies have elucidated profound alterations in mitochondrial dynamics across a spectrum of neurological disorders. Dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) emerges as a pivotal regulator of mitochondrial fission, with its dysregulation disrupting mitochondrial homeostasis and fueling neuroinflammation, thereby exacerbating disease severity. In addition to its role in mitochondrial dynamics, DRP1 plays a crucial role in modulating inflammation-related pathways. This review synthesizes important functions of DRP1 in the central nervous system (CNS) and the impact of epigenetic modification on the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. The intricate interplay between neuroinflammation and DRP1 in microglia and astrocytes, central contributors to neuroinflammation, is expounded upon. Furthermore, the use of DRP1 inhibitors to influence the activation of microglia and astrocytes, as well as their involvement in processes such as mitophagy, mitochondrial oxidative stress, and calcium ion transport in CNS-mediated neuroinflammation, is scrutinized. The modulation of microglia to astrocyte crosstalk by DRP1 and its role in inflammatory neurodegeneration is also highlighted. Overall, targeting DRP1 presents a promising avenue for ameliorating neuroinflammation and enhancing the therapeutic management of neurological disorders.

Abstract
Macrophages are fascinating immune cells involved in a variety of processes in both health and disease. Although they were first discovered and characterized by their functions as professional phagocytes and antigen-presenting cells, it is now clear that macrophages have multiple roles within embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, regulation of inflammation, and host response to pathogens and tissue insults. Interestingly, macrophages, or macrophage-like cells, exist in a variety of organisms, from echinoderms to humans, and are present also in species that lack an adaptive immune system or hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). In mammals, macrophages can be generated from bone marrow precursors through a monocyte intermediate, but it is now known that they are also generated during earlier hematopoietic waves in the embryo. Seeding a variety of tissues at different times, macrophages contribute to embryonic organogenesis and tissue homeostasis. Interestingly, in species where embryonic macrophages are generated before HSC specification, they seem to be an important component of the HSC generative microenvironment. There are many excellent reviews reporting the current knowledge on the ontogeny and functions of macrophages in adult tissues. Here, we aim to summarize the current knowledge on the development and functions of embryonic macrophages across the most used animal models, with a special focus on developmental hematopoiesis.

Abstract
This study investigated the three-dimensional (3D) cellular interactions and tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) during fetal mouse skin regeneration on embryonic days 13 (E13) and 15 (E15). We aimed to understand spatial relationships among cell types involved in skin regeneration and assess the potential role of TNTs. Full-thickness skin incisions were performed in E13 and E15 embryos. Wound sites were collected, embedded in epoxy resin, processed for 3D reconstruction (1 μm thickness sections), and subjected to whole-mount immunostaining. We conducted in vitro co-culture experiments with fetal macrophages and fibroblasts to observe TNT formation. To assess the effect of TNTs on skin regeneration, an inhibiting agent (cytochalasin B) was administered to amniotic fluid. Results revealed that E13 epidermal keratinocytes interacted with dermal fibroblasts and macrophages, facilitating skin regrowth. TNT structures were observed at the E13-cell wound sites, among macrophages, and between macrophages and fibroblasts, confirmed through in vitro co-culture experiments. In vitro and utero cytochalasin B administration hindered those formation and inefficient skin texture regeneration at E13 wound sites. This emphasizes the necessity of 3D cellular interactions between epidermal and dermal cells during skin regeneration in mouse embryos at E13. The prevalence of TNT structures indicated their involvement in achieving complete skin texture restoration.

Human iPSC-liver organoid transplantation reduces fibrosis through immunomodulation. Sci Transl Med 2024; 16:eadg0338.

Abstract
Donor organ shortages for transplantation remain a serious global concern, and alternative treatment is in high demand. Fetal cells and tissues have considerable therapeutic potential as, for example, organoid technology that uses human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to generate unlimited human fetal-like cells and tissues. We previously reported the in vivo vascularization of early fetal liver-like hiPSC-derived liver buds (LBs) and subsquent improved survival of recipient mice with subacute liver failure. Here, we show hiPSC-liver organoids (LOs) that recapitulate midgestational fetal liver promote de novo liver generation when grafted onto the surface of host livers in chemical fibrosis models, thereby recovering liver function. We found that fetal liver, a hematopoietic tissue, highly expressed macrophage-recruiting factors and antifibrotic M2 macrophage polarization factors compared with the adult liver, resulting in fibrosis reduction because of CD163+ M2-macrophage polarization. Next, we created midgestational fetal liver-like hiPSC-LOs by fusion of hiPSC-LBs to induce static cell-cell interactions and found that these contained complex structures such as hepatocytes, vasculature, and bile ducts after transplantation. This fusion allowed the generation of a large human tissue suitable for transplantation into immunodeficient rodent models of liver fibrosis. hiPSC-LOs showed superior liver function compared with hiPSC-LBs and improved survival and liver function upon transplantation. In addition, hiPSC-LO transplantation ameliorated chemically induced liver fibrosis, a symptom of liver cirrhosis that leads to organ dysfunction, through immunomodulatory effects, particularly on CD163+ phagocytic M2-macrophage polarization. Together, our results suggest hiPSC-LO transplantation as a promising therapeutic option for liver fibrosis.

Cell Rep 2024; 43:114471. [PMID: 38996069 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.114471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Low-oxygen conditions (hypoxia) have been associated primarily with cell-cycle arrest in dividing cells. Macrophages are typically quiescent in G0 but can proliferate in response to tissue signals. Here we show that hypoxia (1% oxygen tension) results in reversible entry into the cell cycle in macrophages. Cell cycle progression is largely limited to G0-G1/S phase transition with little progression to G2/M. This cell cycle transitioning is triggered by an HIF2α-directed transcriptional program. The response is accompanied by increased expression of cell-cycle-associated proteins, including CDK1, which is known to phosphorylate SAMHD1 at T592 and thereby regulate antiviral activity. Prolyl hydroxylase (PHD) inhibitors are able to recapitulate HIF2α-dependent cell cycle entry in macrophages. Finally, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in lung cancers exhibit transcriptomic profiles representing responses to low oxygen and cell cycle progression at the single-cell level. These findings have implications for inflammation and tumor progression/metastasis where low-oxygen environments are common.

Abstract
Cells of the innate and adaptive immune systems are the progeny of haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). During steady-state myelopoiesis, HSPC undergo differentiation and proliferation but are called to respond directly and acutely to various signals that lead to emergency myelopoiesis, including bone marrow ablation, infections, and sterile inflammation. There is extensive evidence that many solid tumours have the potential to secrete classical myelopoiesis-promoting growth factors and other products able to mimic emergency haematopoiesis, and to aberrantly re-direct myeloid cell development into immunosuppressive cells with tumour promoting properties. Here, we summarize the current literature regarding the effects of solid cancers on HSPCs function and discuss how these effects might shape antitumour responses via a mechanism initiated at a site distal from the tumour microenvironment.

Abstract
Introduction: Exposure to environmental pollutants such as diesel exhaust particles (DEP) increases the risk of respiratory disease exacerbation. However, the possible effects of these particles on the general population remain poorly understood. The present study aimed to assess the immunomodulatory and inflammatory effects of the inhalation of DEP in a model of healthy mice undergoing short-, mid- and long-term exposure. Materials and Methods: BALB/c ByJ mice were randomly divided into five experimental groups. The control group received three intranasal instillations of saline over 8 days while the other four groups received intranasal instillations of 150 µg of DEP 3 days per week for 8, 17, 26, and 53 days. Lung function assessment and flow cytometry were performed. Results: In lung tissue, intranasal exposure to DEP decreased total monocytes (p < 0.015 in all groups). At 26 days, a reduction in inflammatory monocytes and an increase in resident monocytes were observed, p = 0.001 and 0.0001, respectively. Eosinophils and neutrophils decreased at 26 days (p = 0.017 and p = 0.041, respectively). The intranasal challenges of DEP increased the total population of dendritic cells (DC) at 26 and 53 days (p = 0.017 and p = 0.022, respectively) and decreased the total and alveolar populations of macrophages (p < 0.003 for all groups compared to control), while interstitial macrophage populations increased over the time period (p = 0.0001 for all groups compared to control). Conclusions: Continuous DEP exposure triggers immune mechanisms that predispose healthy individuals to a pro-inflammatory and hyper-reactive microenvironment. This mouse model provides evidence of the capacity of DEP to increase DC, interstitial macrophages, and resident monocytes.

Abstract
Tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) are an integral part of the innate immune system, but their biology is not well understood in the context of cancer. Distinctive resident macrophage populations are identified in different organs in mice using fate mapping studies. They develop from the yolk sac and self-maintain themselves lifelong in specific tissular niches. Similarly, breast-resident macrophages are part of the mammary gland microenvironment. They reside in the breast adipose tissue stroma and close to the ductal epithelium and help in morphogenesis. In breast cancer, TRMs may promote disease progression and metastasis; however, precise mechanisms have not been elucidated. TRMs interact intimately with recruited macrophages, cytotoxic T cells, and other immune cells along with cancer cells, deciding further immunosuppressive or cytotoxic pathways. Moreover, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), which is generally associated with poor outcomes, can harbor specific TRM phenotypes. The influence of TRMs on adipose tissue stroma of the mammary gland also contributes to tumor progression. The complex crosstalk between TRMs with T cells, stroma, and breast cancer cells can establish a cascade of downstream events, understanding which can offer new insight for drug discovery and upcoming treatment choices. This review aims to acknowledge the previous research done in this regard while exploring existing research gaps and the future therapeutic potential of TRMs as a combination or single agent in breast cancer.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) remains prevalent in patients who survived myocardial infarction (MI). Despite the accessibility of the primary percutaneous coronary intervention and medications that alleviate ventricular remodeling with functional improvement, there is an urgent need for clinicians and basic scientists to further reveal the mechanisms behind post-MI HF as well as investigate earlier and more efficient treatment after MI. Growing numbers of studies have highlighted the crucial role of macrophages in cardiac repair and remodeling following MI, and timely intervention targeting the immune response via macrophages may represent a promising therapeutic avenue. Recently, technology such as single-cell sequencing has provided us with an updated and in-depth understanding of the role of macrophages in MI. Meanwhile, the development of biomaterials has made it possible for macrophage-targeted therapy. Thus, an overall and thorough understanding of the role of macrophages in post-MI HF and the current development status of macrophage-based therapy will assist in the further study and development of macrophage-targeted treatment for post-infarction cardiac remodeling. This review synthesizes the spatiotemporal dynamics, function, mechanism and signaling of macrophages in the process of HF after MI, as well as discusses the emerging bio-materials and possible therapeutic agents targeting macrophages for post-MI HF.

Abstract
Aims To identify and analyze genes closely related to the progression of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) by employing a combination of single-cell RNA sequencing and machine-learning algorithms. Main methods Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis was performed to find the cell population with the most significant differences between the Chow and NASH groups. This approach was used to validate the developmental trajectory of this cell population and investigate changes in cellular communication and important signaling pathways among these cells. Subsequently, high dimensional Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (hdWGCNA) was used to find the key modules in NASH. Machine learning analyses were performed to further identify core genes. Deep learning techniques were applied to elucidate the correlation between core genes and immune cells. The accuracy of this correlation was further confirmed using deep learning techniques, specifically Convolutional Neural Networks. Key findings By comparing scRNA-seq data between the Chow and NASH groups, we have observed a notable distinction existing in the Kupffer cell population. Signaling interactions between hepatic macrophages and other cells were significantly heightened in the NASH group. Through subsequent analysis of macrophage subtypes and key modules, we identified 150 genes tightly associated with NASH. Finally, we highlighted the 16 most significant core genes using multiple iterations of machine learning. Furthermore, we pointed out the close relationship between core genes and immune cells. Significances Using scRNA-seq analysis and machine learning, we can distinguish NASH-related genes from large genetic datasets, providing theoretical support in finding potential targets for the development of novel therapies.

Abstract
To protect against the constant threat of inhaled pathogens, the lung is equipped with cellular defenders. In coordination with resident and recruited immune cells, this defence is initiated by the airway and alveolar epithelium following their infection with respiratory viruses. Further support for viral clearance and infection resolution is provided by adjacent endothelial and stromal cells. However, even with these defence mechanisms, respiratory viral infections are a significant global health concern, causing substantial morbidity, socioeconomic losses, and mortality, underlining the need to develop effective vaccines and antiviral medications. In turn, the identification of new treatment options for respiratory infections is critically dependent on the availability of tractable in vitro experimental models that faithfully recapitulate key aspects of lung physiology. For such models to be informative, it is important these models incorporate human-derived, physiologically relevant versions of all cell types that normally form part of the lungs anti-viral response. This review proposes a guideline using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to create all the disease-relevant cell types. iPSCs can be differentiated into lung epithelium, innate immune cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts at a large scale, recapitulating in vivo functions and providing genetic tractability. We advocate for building comprehensive iPSC-derived in vitro models of both proximal and distal lung regions to better understand and model respiratory infections, including interactions with chronic lung diseases.

Abstract
In murine models of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), parasitization of resident Kupffer cells (resKCs) is responsible for early growth of Leishmania infantum in the liver, which leads to granuloma formation and eventual parasite control. We employed the chronic VL model, and revealed an open niche established by KCs death and their migration outside of the sinusoids, resulting in their gradual replacement by monocyte-derived KCs (moKCs). While early granulomas were composed of resKCs, late granulomas were found outside of the sinusoids and contained resKC-derived macrophages, and monocyte-derived macrophages (momacs). ResKCs and moKCs within the sinusoids were identified as homeostatic/regulatory cells, while resKC-derived macrophages and momacs within late granulomas were pro-inflammatory. Despite the infection being largely confined to the resKC-derived macrophages, in the absence of monocyte recruitment, parasite control was strongly compromised. Macrophage heterogeneity, involving migration and reprogramming of resKCs, along with recruitment of monocyte-derived cells, is a hallmark of granuloma maturation and hepatic immunity in VL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The eye is a highly specialized sensory organ which encompasses the retina as a part of the central nervous system, but also non-neural compartments such as the transparent vitreous body ensuring stability of the eye globe and a clear optical axis. Hyalocytes are the tissue-resident macrophages of the vitreous body and are considered to play pivotal roles in health and diseases of the vitreoretinal interface, such as proliferative vitreoretinopathy or diabetic retinopathy. However, in contrast to other ocular macrophages, their embryonic origin as well as the extent to which these myeloid cells might be replenished by circulating monocytes remains elusive. RESULTS In this study, we combine transgenic reporter mice, embryonic and adult fate mapping approaches as well as parabiosis experiments with multicolor immunofluorescence labeling and confocal laser-scanning microscopy to comprehensively characterize the murine hyalocyte population throughout development and in adulthood. We found that murine hyalocytes express numerous well-known myeloid cell markers, but concomitantly display a distinct immunophenotype that sets them apart from retinal microglia. Embryonic pulse labeling revealed a yolk sac-derived origin of murine hyalocytes, whose precursors seed the developing eye prenatally. Finally, postnatal labeling and parabiosis established the longevity of hyalocytes which rely on Colony Stimulating Factor 1 Receptor (CSF1R) signaling for their maintenance, independent of blood-derived monocytes. CONCLUSION Our study identifies hyalocytes as long-living progeny of the yolk sac hematopoiesis and highlights their role as integral members of the innate immune system of the eye. As a consequence of their longevity, immunosenescence processes may culminate in hyalocyte dysfunction, thereby contributing to the development of vitreoretinal diseases. Therefore, myeloid cell-targeted therapies that convey their effects through the modification of hyalocyte properties may represent an interesting approach to alleviate the burden imposed by diseases of the vitreoretinal interface.

Abstract
Coffee is the most popular beverage in the world and, aside from tea and water, the most often consumed caffeine-containing beverage. Because of its high caffeine concentration, it is typically classified as a stimulant. There are other bioactive ingredients in coffee besides caffeine. The coffee beverage is a blend of several bioactive substances, including diterpenes (cafestol and kahweol), alkaloids (caffeine and trigonelline), and polyphenols (particularly chlorogenic acids in green beans and caffeic acid in roasted coffee beans). Caffeine has also been linked to additional beneficial benefits such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which change cellular redox and inflammatory status in a dose-dependent manner. Pyrocatechol, a constituent of roasted coffee that is created when chlorogenic acid is thermally broken down, has anti-inflammatory properties as well. It is postulated that coffee consumption reduces neuroinflammation, which is intimately linked to the onset of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Huntington's disease (HD). This review provides an overview of the most recent studies regarding coffee's possible benefits in preventing brain inflammation and neurodegenerative disorders.

Gut microbiota promotes pain chronicity in Myosin1A deficient male mice. Brain Behav Immun 2024; 119:750-766.

Abstract
Chronic pain is a heavily debilitating condition and a huge socio-economic burden, with no efficient treatment. Over the past decade, the gut microbiota has emerged as an important regulator of nervous system's health and disease states. Yet, its contribution to the pathogenesis of chronic somatic pain remains poorly documented. Here, we report that male but not female mice lacking Myosin1a (KO) raised under single genotype housing conditions (KO-SGH) are predisposed to develop chronic pain in response to a peripheral tissue injury. We further underscore the potential of MYO1A loss-of-function to alter the composition of the gut microbiota and uncover a functional connection between the vulnerability to chronic pain and the dysbiotic gut microbiota of KO-SGH males. As such, parental antibiotic treatment modifies gut microbiota composition and completely rescues the injury-induced pain chronicity in male KO-SGH offspring. Furthermore, in KO-SGH males, this dysbiosis is accompanied by a transcriptomic activation signature in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) macrophage compartment, in response to tissue injury. We identify CD206+CD163- and CD206+CD163+ as the main subsets of DRG resident macrophages and show that both are long-lived and self-maintained and exhibit the capacity to monitor the vasculature. Consistently, in vivo depletion of DRG macrophages rescues KO-SGH males from injury-induced chronic pain underscoring a deleterious role for DRG macrophages in a Myo1a-loss-of function context. Together, our findings reveal gene-sex-microbiota interactions in determining the predisposition to injury-induced chronic pain and point-out DRG macrophages as potential effector cells.

Abstract
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is an ultra-rare disease caused by impaired pulmonary surfactant clearance due to the dysfunction of alveolar macrophages or their signaling pathways. PAP is categorized into autoimmune, congenital, and secondary PAP, with autoimmune PAP being the most prevalent. This article aims to present a comprehensive review of PAP classification, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnostics, and treatment. The literature search was conducted using the PubMed database and a total of 67 articles were selected. The PAP diagnosis is usually based on clinical symptoms, radiological imaging, and bronchoalveolar lavage, with additional GM-CSF antibody tests. The gold standard for PAP treatment is whole-lung lavage. This review presents a summary of the most recent findings concerning pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, pointing out specific features that require further investigation.

Abstract
Introduction Environmental exposures and experimental manipulations can alter the ontogenetic composition of tissue-resident macrophages. However, the impact of these alterations on subsequent immune responses, particularly in allergic airway diseases, remains poorly understood. This study aims to elucidate the significance of modified macrophage ontogeny resulting from environmental exposures on allergic airway responses to house dust mite (HDM) allergen. Methods We utilized embryonic lineage labeling to delineate the ontogenetic profile of tissue-resident macrophages at baseline and following the resolution of repeated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lung injury. We investigated differences in house dust mite (HDM)-induced allergy to assess the influence of macrophage ontogeny on allergic airway responses. Additionally, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) and immunofluorescent staining to characterize the pulmonary macrophage composition, associated pathways, and tissue localization. Results Our findings demonstrate that the ontogeny of homeostatic alveolar and interstitial macrophages is altered after the resolution from repeated LPS-induced lung injury, leading to the replacement of embryonic-derived by bone marrow-derived macrophages. This shift in macrophage ontogeny is associated with reduced HDM-induced allergic airway responses. Through scRNAseq and immunofluorescent staining, we identified a distinct subset of resident-derived interstitial macrophages expressing genes associated with allergic airway diseases, localized adjacent to terminal bronchi, and diminished by prior LPS exposure. Discussion These results suggest a pivotal role for pulmonary macrophage ontogeny in modulating allergic airway responses. Moreover, our findings highlight the implications of prior environmental exposures in shaping future immune responses and influencing the development of allergies. By elucidating the mechanisms underlying these phenomena, this study provides valuable insights into potential therapeutic targets for allergic airway diseases and avenues for further research into immune modulation and allergic disease prevention.

Abstract
Due to the limitations of autologous chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells, alternative sources of cellular immunotherapy, including CAR macrophages, are emerging for solid tumors. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offer an unlimited source for immune cell generation. Here, we develop human iPSC-derived CAR macrophages targeting prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) (CAR-iMacs), which express membrane-bound interleukin (IL)-15 and truncated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) for immune cell activation and a suicide switch, respectively. These allogeneic CAR-iMacs exhibit strong antitumor activity against human pancreatic solid tumors in vitro and in vivo, leading to reduced tumor burden and improved survival in a pancreatic cancer mouse model. CAR-iMacs appear safe and do not exhibit signs of cytokine release syndrome or other in vivo toxicities. We optimized the cryopreservation of CAR-iMac progenitors that remain functional upon thawing, providing an off-the-shelf, allogeneic cell product that can be developed into CAR-iMacs. Overall, our preclinical data strongly support the potential clinical translation of this human iPSC-derived platform for solid tumors, including pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Microglia constitute the largest population of parenchymal macrophages in the brain and are considered a unique subset of central nervous system glial cells owing to their extra-embryonic origins in the yolk sac. During development, microglial progenitors readily proliferate and eventually colonize the entire brain. In this Review, we highlight the origins of microglial progenitors and their entry routes into the brain and discuss the various molecular and non-molecular determinants of their fate, which may inform their specific functions. Specifically, we explore recently identified mechanisms that regulate microglial colonization of the brain, including the availability of space, and describe how the expansion of highly proliferative microglial progenitors facilitates the occupation of the microglial niche. Finally, we shed light on the factors involved in establishing microglial identity in the brain.

Abstract
Maternal obesity and over/undernutrition can have a long-lasting impact on offspring health during critical periods in the first 1000 days of life. Children born to mothers with obesity have reduced immune responses to stimuli which increase susceptibility to infections. Recently, maternal western-style diets (WSDs), high in fat and simple sugars, have been associated with skewing neonatal immune cell development, and recent evidence suggests that dysregulation of innate immunity in early life has long-term consequences on metabolic diseases and behavioral disorders in later life. Several factors contribute to abnormal innate immune tolerance or trained immunity, including changes in gut microbiota, metabolites, and epigenetic modifications. Critical knowledge gaps remain regarding the mechanisms whereby these factors impact fetal and postnatal immune cell development, especially in precursor stem cells in bone marrow and fetal liver. Components of the maternal microbiota that are transferred from mothers consuming a WSD to their offspring are understudied and identifying cause and effect on neonatal innate and adaptive immune development needs to be refined. Tools including single-cell RNA-sequencing, epigenetic analysis, and spatial location of specific immune cells in liver and bone marrow are critical for understanding immune system programming. Considering the vital role immune function plays in offspring health, it will be important to understand how maternal diets can control developmental programming of innate and adaptive immunity.

Abstract
Phagocytic macrophages are crucial for innate immunity and tissue homeostasis. Most tissue-resident macrophages develop from embryonic precursors that populate every organ before birth to lifelong self-renew. However, the mechanisms for versatile macrophage differentiation remain unknown. Here, we use in vivo genetic and cell biological analysis of the Drosophila larval hematopoietic organ, the lymph gland that produces macrophages. We show that the developmentally regulated transient activation of caspase-activated DNase (CAD)-mediated DNA strand breaks in intermediate progenitors is essential for macrophage differentiation. Insulin receptor-mediated PI3K/Akt signaling regulates the apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (Ask1)/c-Jun kinase (JNK) axis to control sublethal levels of caspase activation, causing DNA strand breaks during macrophage development. Furthermore, caspase activity is also required for embryonic-origin macrophage development and efficient phagocytosis. Our study provides insights into developmental signaling and CAD-mediated DNA strand breaks associated with multifunctional and heterogeneous macrophage differentiation.

Abstract
Interstitial macrophages (IMs) are essential for organ homeostasis, inflammation, and autonomous immune response in lung tissues, which are achieved through polarization to a pro-inflammatory M1 and an M2 state for tissue repair. Their remote parenchymal localization and low counts, however, are limiting factors for their isolation and molecular characterization of their specific role during tissue inflammation. We isolated viable murine IMs in sufficient quantities by coculturing them with stromal cells and analyzed mRNA expression patterns of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in naïve and M1 polarized IMs after application of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon γ. M-RNAs for the second member of the melastatin family of TRP channels, TRPM2, were upregulated in the M1 state and functional channels were identified by their characteristic currents induced by ADP-ribose, its specific activator. Most interestingly, cytokine production and secretion of interleukin-1α (IL-1α), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α in M1 polarized but TRPM2-deficient IMs was significantly enhanced compared to WT cells. Activation of TRPM2 channels by ADP-ribose (ADPR) released from mitochondria by ROS-produced H2O2 significantly increases plasma membrane depolarization, which inhibits production of reactive oxygen species by NADPH oxidases and reduces cytokine production and secretion in a negative feedback loop. Therefore, TRPM2 channels are essential for the regulation of cytokine production in M1-polarized murine IMs. Specific activation of these channels may promote an anti-inflammatory phenotype and prevent a harmful cytokine storm often observed in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the major leading cause of mortality worldwide, is a progressive and irreversible respiratory condition characterized by peripheral airway and lung parenchymal inflammation, accompanied by fibrosis, emphysema, and airflow limitation, and has multiple etiologies, including genetic variance, air pollution, and repetitive exposure to harmful substances. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of COPD have not been identified. Recent multiomics-based evidence suggests that the plasticity of alveolar macrophages contributes to the onset and progression of COPD through the coordinated modulation of numerous transcription factors. Therefore, this review focuses on understanding the mechanisms and functions of macrophage polarization that regulate lung homeostasis in COPD. These findings may provide a better insight into the distinct role of macrophages in COPD pathogenesis and perspective for developing novel therapeutic strategies targeting macrophage polarization.

Abstract
Researchers who aim to globally analyze the gastrointestinal immune system via flow cytometry have many protocol options to choose from, with specifics generally tied to gut wall layers of interest. To get a clearer idea of the approach we should use on full-thickness colon samples from mice, we first undertook a systematic comparison of three tissue dissociation techniques: two based on enzymatic cocktails and the other one based on manual crushing. Using flow cytometry panels of general markers of lymphoid and myeloid cells, we found that the presence of cell-surface markers and relative cell population frequencies were more stable with the mechanical method. Both enzymatic approaches were associated with a marked decrease of several cell-surface markers. Using mechanical dissociation, we then developed two minimally overlapping panels, consisting of a total of 26 antibodies, for serial profiling of lymphoid and myeloid lineages from the mouse colon in greater detail. Here, we highlight how we accurately delineate these populations by manual gating, as well as the reproducibility of our panels on mouse spleen and whole blood. As a proof-of-principle of the usefulness of our general approach, we also report segment- and life stage-specific patterns of immune cell profiles in the colon. Overall, our data indicate that mechanical dissociation is more suitable and efficient than enzymatic methods for recovering immune cells from all colon layers at once. Additionally, our panels will provide researchers with a relatively simple tool for detailed immune cell profiling in the murine gastrointestinal tract, regardless of life stage or experimental conditions.

Abstract
Cancer is a progressive disease that can develop and evolve over decades, with inflammation playing a central role at each of its stages, from tumor initiation to metastasis. In this context, macrophages represent well-established bridges reciprocally linking inflammation and cancer via an array of diverse functions that have spurred efforts to classify them into subtypes. Here, we discuss the intertwines between macrophages, inflammation, and cancer with an emphasis on temporal dynamics of macrophage diversity and functions in pre-malignancy and cancer. By instilling temporal dynamism into the more static classic view of tumor-associated macrophage biology, we propose a new framework to better contextualize their significance in the inflammatory processes that precede and result from the onset of cancer and shape its evolution.

Abstract
Macrophages are exceptionally diversified cell types and perform unique features and functions when exposed to different stimuli within the specific microenvironment of various kidney diseases. In instances of kidney tissue necrosis or infection, specific patterns associated with damage or pathogens prompt the development of pro-inflammatory macrophages (M1). These M1 macrophages contribute to exacerbating tissue damage, inflammation, and eventual fibrosis. Conversely, anti-inflammatory macrophages (M2) arise in the same circumstances, contributing to kidney repair and regeneration processes. Impaired tissue repair causes fibrosis, and hence macrophages play a protective and pathogenic role. In response to harmful stimuli within the body, inflammasomes, complex assemblies of multiple proteins, assume a pivotal function in innate immunity. The initiation of inflammasomes triggers the activation of caspase 1, which in turn facilitates the maturation of cytokines, inflammation, and cell death. Macrophages in the kidneys possess the complete elements of the NLRP3 inflammasome, including NLRP3, ASC, and pro-caspase-1. When the NLRP3 inflammasomes are activated, it triggers the activation of caspase-1, resulting in the release of mature proinflammatory cytokines (IL)-1β and IL-18 and cleavage of Gasdermin D (GSDMD). This activation process therefore then induces pyroptosis, leading to renal inflammation, cell death, and renal dysfunction. The NLRP3-ASC-caspase-1-IL-1β-IL-18 pathway has been identified as a factor in the development of the pathophysiology of numerous kidney diseases. In this review, we explore current progress in understanding macrophage behavior concerning inflammation, injury, and fibrosis in kidneys. Emphasizing the pivotal role of activated macrophages in both the advancement and recovery phases of renal diseases, the article delves into potential strategies to modify macrophage functionality and it also discusses emerging approaches to selectively target NLRP3 inflammasomes and their signaling components within the kidney, aiming to facilitate the healing process in kidney diseases.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is the most common primary malignant tumour of the central nervous system and remains uniformly and rapidly fatal. The tumour-associated macrophage (TAM) compartment comprises brain-resident microglia and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) recruited from the periphery. Immune-suppressive and tumour-supportive TAM cell states predominate in glioblastoma, and immunotherapies, which have achieved striking success in other solid tumours have consistently failed to improve survival in this 'immune-cold' niche context. Hypoxic and necrotic regions in the tumour core are found to enrich, especially in anti-inflammatory and immune-suppressive TAM cell states. Microglia predominate at the invasive tumour margin and express pro-inflammatory and interferon TAM cell signatures. Depletion of TAMs, or repolarisation towards a pro-inflammatory state, are appealing therapeutic strategies and will depend on effective understanding and classification of TAM cell ontogeny and state based on new single-cell and spatial multi-omic in situ profiling. Here, we explore the application of these datasets to expand and refine TAM characterisation, to inform improved modelling approaches, and ultimately underpin the effective manipulation of function.

Abstract
Liver cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality. Hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma are the most common types, and despite numerous advances, therapeutic options still remain poor for these cancer patients. Tumor development and progression strictly depend on a supportive tumor microenvironment (TME). Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the most abundant immune cells population within a tumorigenic liver; they sustain cancer cells' growth and invasiveness, and their presence is correlated with a poor prognosis. Furthermore, TAM cross-talk with cells and components of the TME promotes immunosuppression, a desmoplastic response, and angiogenesis. In this review, we summarize the latest advances in understanding TAM heterogeneity and function, with a particular focus on TAM modulation of the TME. We also discuss the potential of targeting macrophage subpopulations and how this is now being exploited in current clinical trials for the treatment of liver cancer.
