Abstract
Allergic inflammation is the foundation of multiple allergic disorders, such as allergic rhinitis and asthma. Mast cells are effector cells that initiate inflammatory response. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), a furfural compound, is the heat-processed product of various fruit, foods, drinks, as well as some Chinese herbal medicines. 5-HMF was previously reported to inhibit mast cell activation. Our study aimed to explore the functions of 5-HMF in both phorbol 12-mystate 13-acetate (PMA) plus calcium ionophore (A23187)-induced allergic inflammation in human mast cell line HMC-1 and ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma mouse models. HMC-1 cells were pretreated with 5-HMF and then stimulated by PMA+A23187. The cytotoxicity of 5-HMF on HMC-1 cells was evaluated by MTT assay. Histamine content in cell supernatants was measured by the o-phthaldialdehyde spectrofluorometric procedure. Intracellular calcium was determined using the fluorescent dye Fura-2AM. The production and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines were detected by ELISA and RT-qPCR. Caspase-1 colorimetric assay was employed to examine the enzymatic activity of caspase-1. Asthma mouse models were induced by OVA sensitization. The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and blood samples were collected for the detection of total and differential cell count as well as aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), OVA-immunoglobulin E (OVA-IgE), OVA-immunoglobulin G1 (OVA-IgG1), and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. The left lung of mouse was dissected for histopathological examination by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. The protein expression of pro-caspase-1 and the phosphorylation of NF-κB and MAPK pathway-associated molecules were assessed by Western blotting. Our findings revealed that 5-HMF efficiently suppressed the PMA+A23187-induced enhancement in histamine production and intracellular calcium in HMC-1 cells. Pro-inflammatory cytokine production and expression in HMC-1 cells were elevated after PMA plus A23187 stimulation, which, however, were inhibited by pretreatment of 5-HMF. Additionally, 5-HMF suppressed the activity of caspase-1 and the phosphorylation of NF-κB and MAPK-associated molecules including p65 NF-κB, p38 MAPK, ERK, and JNK in HMC-1 cells. In vivo experiments demonstrated that 5-HMF treatment reduced the lung/body weight index and total and differential (macrophages, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and eosinophils) cell counts in BALF of asthmatic mice, but exerted no influence on serum AST and ALT levels. Besides, 5-HMF reduced serum OVA-IgE and OVA-IgG1 levels, mitigated lung inflammation, and inhibited the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways in asthma mouse models. 5-HMF mitigates allergic inflammation in asthma by inactivating caspase-1 and NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways.

Abstract
Sepsis is a severe syndrome characterized by organ dysfunction, resulting from a systemic imbalance in response to infection. PAK1 plays a critical role in various diseases. The present study aimed to explore and delineate the mechanism of PAK1 in inflammation induced by sepsis. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to assess PAK1, snail, and CXCL2 expression in the whole blood of septic patients and the pathways enriched with PAK1. To simulate the sepsis model, THP-1 cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide. Gene expression was evaluated using qRT-PCR, while cell viability was assessed using CCK-8 assay. Cell apoptosis was tested with flow cytometry. Expression of inflammatory factors in cells following different treatments was analyzed using the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Dual-luciferase and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays were conducted to verify the binding relationship between PAK1 and the snail. Mouse models of cecal ligation and puncture were established, and hematoxylin and eosin staining and ELISA were employed to detect the infiltration levels of inflammatory cells and the expression of related protective factors in lung, liver, and kidney tissues. The results demonstrated upregulation of PAK1, snail, and CXCL2 in the whole blood of septic patients, with PAK1 being enriched in the chemokine-related pathway. Knockdown of PAK1 significantly promoted the apoptosis of LPS-stimulated THP-1 cells and inhibited the expression of inflammatory factors. PAK1 upregulated the expression of the snail, which in turn promoted the expression of CXCL2. Thus, PAK1 mediated the sepsis-induced inflammatory response through the snail/CXCL2 pathway. In conclusion, PAK1 played a role in promoting inflammation induced by sepsis through the snail/CXCL2 axis, thereby providing a potential therapeutic target for the management of sepsis.

Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 128:111555.

Abstract
S100A4 is implicated in metabolic reprogramming across various cell types and is known to propel the progression of numerous diseases including allergies. Nonetheless, the influence of S100A4 on mast cell metabolic reprogramming during allergic disorders remains unexplored. Utilizing a mast cell line (C57), cells were treated with recombinant mouse S100A4 protein, with or without a PPAR-γ agonist (ROSI) or a RAGE inhibitor (FPS-ZM1). Subsequent assessments were conducted for mast cell activation and lipid metabolism. S100A4 induced mast cell activation and the release of inflammatory mediators, concurrently altering molecules involved in lipid metabolism and glycolysis over time. Furthermore, S100A4 stimulation resulted in cellular oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Alterations in the levels of pivotal molecules within the RAGE/Src/JAK2/STAT3/PPAR-γ and NF-κB signaling pathways were noted during this stimulation, which were partially counteracted by ROSI or FPS-ZMI. Additionally, a trend of metabolic alterations was identified in patients with allergic asthma who exhibited elevated serum S100A4 levels. Correlation analysis unveiled a positive association between serum S100A4 and serum IgE, implying an indirect association with asthma. Collectively, our findings suggest that S100A4 regulates the lipid-metabolic reprogramming of mast cells, potentially via the RAGE and PPAR-γ-involved signaling pathway, offering a novel perspective in the disease management in patients with allergic disorders.

Abstract
Allergic diseases affect nearly 30% of people worldwide. There is a wide range of allergen sources, such as animal dander, food, venom, dust mites, and pollen. The skin prick test is the predominant technique used to identify allergenic sensitivity in vivo; the main problem is that it can be imprecise as many of the allergen extracts are made of mixtures of allergic and nonallergic components, making it difficult to identify the disease-eliciting allergen. An alternative to solve this problem is employing cellular models in vitro that may allow allergen identification, allergy diagnosis, and testing of novel potential compounds that can be used in immunotherapeutics. For example, rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) cells are a well-suited model for studying allergies. Unfortunately, cells generated from RBL cells are not commercially available. Therefore, we developed an RBL model with a degranulation gene reporter capable of recognizing human IgE involved in allergenic sensitivity using commercial plasmids. Employing this model, we successfully evaluated the capacity of union between IgE from allergic patients to allergenic proteins from Oleaceae tree pollen. This RBL cell model can be used as a diagnostic method for sensitivity to any allergens from different sources in vitro.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and progressive inflammatory disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract (GT) caused by a wide range of genetic, microbial, and environmental factors. IBD is characterized by chronic inflammation and decreased gut microbial diversity, dysbiosis, with a lower number of beneficial bacteria and a concomitant increase in pathogenic species. It is well known that dysbiosis is closely related to the induction of inflammation and oxidative stress, the latter caused by an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and cellular antioxidant capacity, leading to cellular ROS accumulation. ROS are responsible for intestinal epithelium oxidative damage and the increased intestinal permeability found in IBD patients, and their reduction could represent a potential therapeutic strategy to limit IBD progression and alleviate its symptoms. Recent evidence has highlighted that dietary polyphenols, the natural antioxidants, can maintain redox equilibrium in the GT, preventing gut dysbiosis, intestinal epithelium damage, and radical inflammatory responses. Here, we suggest that the relatively new foodomics approaches, together with new technologies for promoting the antioxidative properties of dietary polyphenols, including novel delivery systems, chemical modifications, and combination strategies, may provide critical insights to determine the clinical value of polyphenols for IBD therapy and a comprehensive perspective for implementing natural antioxidants as potential IBD candidate treatment.

Abstract
The incidence of allergic disease has grown tremendously in the past three generations. While current treatments are effective for some, there is considerable unmet need. Mast cells are critical effectors of allergic inflammation. Their secreted mediators and the receptors for these mediators have long been the target of allergy therapy. Recent drugs have moved a step earlier in mast cell activation, blocking IgE, IL-4, and IL-13 interactions with their receptors. In this review, we summarize the latest therapies targeting mast cells as well as new drugs in clinical trials. In addition, we offer support for repurposing FDA-approved drugs to target mast cells in new ways. With a multitude of highly selective drugs available for cancer, autoimmunity, and metabolic disorders, drug repurposing offers optimism for the future of allergy therapy.

Abstract
(-)-α-Bisabolol (BIS) is a sesquiterpene alcohol derived mostly from Matricaria recutita L., which is a traditional herb and exhibits multiple biologic activities. BIS has been reported for treatment of skin disorders, but the effect of BIS on anti-atopic dermatitis (AD) remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effects of BIS on 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB)-induced AD in BALB/c mice and the underlying mechanism in Bone Marrow-Derived Mast Cells (BMMCs). Topical BIS treatment reduced AD-like symptoms and the release of interleukin (IL)-4 without immunoglobulin (Ig)-E production in DNCB-induced BALB/c mice. Histopathological examination revealed that BIS reduced epidermal thickness and inhibited mast cells in the AD-like lesions skin. Oral administration of BIS effectively and dose-dependently suppressed mast-cell-mediated passive cutaneous anaphylaxis. In IgE-mediated BMMCs, the levels of β-hexosaminidase (β-hex), histamine, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were reduced by blocking the activation of nuclear factor-қB (NF-қB) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) without P38 mitogen activated protein (P38) and extracellular regulated protein kinases (Erk1/2). Taken together, our experimental results indicated BIS suppresses AD by inhibiting the activation of JNK and NF-κB in mast cells. BIS may be a promising therapeutic agent for atopic dermatitis and other mast-cell-related diseases.
