Abstract
Effectively addressing retinal issues represents a pivotal aspect of blindness-related diseases. Novel approaches involving reducing inflammation and rebalancing the immune response are paramount in the treatment of these conditions. This study delves into the potential of a nanogel system comprising polyethylenimine-benzene boric acid-hyaluronic acid (PEI-PBA-HA). We have evaluated the collaborative impact of cerium oxide nanozyme and chemokine CX3CL1 protein for targeted immunomodulation and retinal protection in uveitis models. Our nanogel system specifically targets the posterior segment of the eyes. The synergistic effect in this area reduces oxidative stress and hampers the activation of microglia, thereby alleviating the pathological immune microenvironment. This multifaceted drug delivery system disrupts the cycle of oxidative stress, inflammation, and immune response, suppressing initial immune cells and limiting local retinal structural damage induced by excessive immune reactions. Our research sheds light on interactions within retinal target cells, providing a promising avenue for the development of efficient and innovative drug delivery platforms.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the most common gastrointestinal tract diseases with significant morbidity and mortality. Current treatments remain unspecific and supportive due to the severity and clinical course of AP, which can fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. Mitochondria, cellular power plant to produce energy, are involved in a variety of physiological or pathological activities in human body. There is a growing evidence indicating that mitochondria damage-associated molecular patterns (mtDAMPs) play an important role in pathogenesis and progression of AP. With the pro-inflammatory properties, released mtDAMPs may damage pancreatic cells by binding with receptors, activating downstream molecules and releasing inflammatory factors. This review focuses on the possible interaction between AP and mtDAMPs, which include cytochrome c (Cyt c), mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), cardiolipin (CL), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and succinate, with focus on experimental research and potential therapeutic targets in clinical practice. Preventing or diminishing the release of mtDAMPs or targeting the mtDAMPs receptors might have a role in AP progression.

Redox Biol 2024; 72:103115. [PMID: 38554522 PMCID: PMC10998238 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2024.103115] [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: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/01/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Premature infants often require oxygen supplementation, which can elicit bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and lead to mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria play important roles in lung development, in both normal metabolism and apoptosis. Enhancing our comprehension of the underlying mechanisms in BPD development can facilitate the effective treatments. METHODS Plasma samples from BPD and non-BPD infants were collected at 36 weeks post-menstrual age and used for metabolomic analysis. Based on hyperoxia-induced animal and cell models, changes in mitophagy and apoptosis were evaluated following treatment with itaconic acid (ITA). Finally, the mechanism of action of ITA in lung development was comprehensively demonstrated through rescue strategies and administration of corresponding inhibitors. RESULTS An imbalance in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle significantly affected lung development, with ITA serving as a significant metabolic marker for the outcomes of lung development. ITA improved the morphological changes in BPD rats, promoted SP-C expression, and inhibited the degree of alveolar type II epithelial cells (AEC II) apoptosis. Mechanistically, ITA mainly promotes the nuclear translocation of transcription factor EB (TFEB) to facilitate dysfunctional mitochondrial clearance and reduces apoptosis in AEC II cells by regulating autophagic flux. CONCLUSION The metabolic imbalance in the TCA cycle is closely related to lung development. ITA can improve lung development by regulating autophagic flux and promote the nuclear translocation of TFEB, implying its potential therapeutic utility in the treatment of BPD.

Abstract
Abnormal activation of microglia, the resident macrophages in the central nervous system, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). The immune responsive gene 1(IRG1)/itaconate axis is involved in regulating microglia-mediated neuroinflammation. 4-Octyl itaconate (4-OI), a derivative of itaconate, plays a crucial immunomodulatory role in macrophages. This study investigated the effects and mechanisms of action of 4-OI on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and inflammatory BV2 microglia. In an EAE mouse model, clinical evaluation was conducted during the disease course. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was performed to assess inflammatory infiltration and Luxol Fast Blue was used to visualize pathological damage. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting and immunofluorescence were used to evaluate inflammatory response and microglial function status in EAE mice. BV2 microglia were used to further investigate the effects and mechanisms of action of 4-OI in vitro. 4-OI significantly alleviated the clinical symptoms of EAE, the inflammatory infiltration, and demyelination; reduced the levels of inflammatory factors; and inhibited the classical activation of microglia in the spinal cord. 4-OI successfully suppressed the classical activation of BV2 microglia and decreased the levels of inflammatory factors by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. Furthermore, 4-OI downregulated IRG1 expression in both EAE mice and inflammatory BV2 microglia. 4-OI attenuates the microglia-mediated neuroinflammation and has promising therapeutic effects in MS.

Protective effect of Broussonetia papyrifera leaf polysaccharides on intestinal integrity in a rat model of diet-induced oxidative stress. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 268:131589.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of Broussonetia papyrifera polysaccharides (BPP) on the jejunal intestinal integrity of rats ingesting oxidized fish oil (OFO) induced oxidative stress. Polysaccharides (Mw 16,956 Da) containing carboxyl groups were extracted from Broussonetia papyrifera leaves. In vitro antioxidant assays showed that this polysaccharide possessed antioxidant capabilities. Thirty-two male weaned rats were allocated into two groups orally infused BPP solution and PBS for 26 days, respectively. From day 9 to day 26, half of the rats in each group were fed food containing OFO, where the lipid peroxidation can induce intestinal oxidative stress. OFO administration resulted in diarrhea, decreased growth performance (p < 0.01), impaired jejunal morphology (p < 0.05) and antioxidant capacity (p < 0.01), increased the levels of ROS and its related products, IL-1β and IL-17 (p < 0.01) of jejunum, as well as down-regulated Bcl-2/Bax (p < 0.01) and Nrf2 signaling (p < 0.01) of jejunum in rats. BPP gavage effectively alleviated the negative effects of OFO on growth performance, morphology, enterocyte apoptosis, antioxidant capacity and inflammation of jejunum (p < 0.05) in rats. In the oxidative stress model cell assay, the use of receptor inhibitors inhibited the enhancement of antioxidant capacity by BPP. These results suggested that BPP protected intestinal morphology, thus improving growth performance and reducing diarrhea in rats ingesting OFO. This protective effect may be attributed to scavenging free radicals and activating the Nrf2 pathway, which enhances antioxidant capacity, consequently reducing inflammation and mitigating intestinal cell death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis may be linked to oxidative stress and can be controlled by itaconate, an activator of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway. Nevertheless, the itaconate impact on sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) has yet to be definitively established. METHODS We employed SA-AKI mouse model through a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) procedure for the in vivo investigation of the potential nephroprotective effect of itaconate in this study. A plasmid was transfected into RAW264.7 cells to examine the Nrf2 pathway function after itaconate administration. Finally, the immune-responsive gene 1-knockout (IRG1-/-) mice were used to study the itaconate impacts on oxidative stress-induced SA-AKI. RESULTS We have shown that 4-octyl itaconate (OI) significantly reduced CD11b-positive macrophage aggregation and activated the Nrf2 pathway in the bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM). The impacts of Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 on the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of itaconate were found to be partial. OI inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced oxidative stress injury in RAW264.7 macrophages and activated Nrf2 in the nucleus to hinder the expression of nuclear factor kappa B p65, thereby suppressing oxidative stress injury in the macrophages. Additionally, the introduction of the transfected plasmid resulted in a partial inhibition of the anti-inflammatory impact of itaconate. The kidney injury caused by sepsis exhibited greater severity in the IRG1-/- mice than in the wild type mice. Exogenous OI partially attenuated the kidney injury induced by sepsis in the IRG1-/- mice and suppressed the oxidative stress injury in macrophages. CONCLUSIONS This investigation offers new proof to support the itaconate function in the development and progression of SA-AKI and shows a new possible therapeutic agent for the SA-AKI treatment.

Abstract
To investigate the protective role of immune response gene 1 (IRG1) and exogenous itaconate in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Wild-type and IRG1-/- AIH mouse models were established, and samples of liver tissue and ocular blood were collected from each group of mice to assess the effects of IRG1/itaconate on the expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. The levels of liver enzymes and related inflammatory factors were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Liver histomorphology was detected through hematoxylin and eosin staining and then scored for liver injury, and the infiltration levels of tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells and related molecules in the liver tissue were detected through immunofluorescence staining in vitro. RNA sequencing and gene enrichment analysis were conducted to identify the corresponding molecules and pathways, and lentiviral transfection was used to generate TRM cell lines with IRG1, Jak3, Stat3, and p53 knockdown. Real-time quantitative PCR and western blot were performed to detect the expression levels of relevant mRNAs and proteins in the liver tissue and cells. The percentage of apoptotic cells was determined using flow cytometry. IRG1/itaconate effectively reduced the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the pathological damage to liver tissue, thereby maintaining normal liver function. At the same time, IRG1/itaconate inhibited the JAK3/STAT3 signaling pathway, regulated the expression of related downstream proteins, and inhibited the proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of CD69+CD103+CD8+ TRM cells. For the first time, P53 was found to act as a downstream molecule of the JAK3/STAT3 pathway and was regulated by IRG1/itaconate to promote the apoptosis of CD8+ TRM cells. IRG1/itaconate can alleviate concanavalin A-induced autoimmune hepatitis in mice by inhibiting the proliferation and promoting the apoptosis of CD69+CD103+CD8+ TRM cells via the JAK3/STAT3/P53 pathway.

Dimethyl itaconate inhibits antigen-specific Th17 cell responses and autoimmune inflammation via modulating NRF2/STAT3 signaling. FASEB J 2024; 38:e23607. [PMID: 38581245 DOI: 10.1096/fj.202302293rr] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
Pathogenic Th17 cells play a crucial role in autoimmune diseases like uveitis and its animal model, experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU). Dimethyl itaconate (DMI) possesses potent anti-inflammatory effects. However, there is still a lack of knowledge about the role of DMI in regulating pathogenic Th17 cells and EAU. Here, we reported that intraperitoneal administration of DMI significantly inhibited the severity of EAU via selectively suppressing Th17 cell responses. In vitro antigen stimulation studies revealed that DMI dramatically decreased the frequencies and function of antigen-specific Th17, but not Th1, cells. Moreover, DMI hampered the differentiation of naive CD4+ T cells toward pathogenic Th17 cells. DMI-treated DCs produced less IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-23, and displayed an impaired ability to stimulate antigen-specific Th17 activation. Mechanistically, DMI activated the NRF2/HO-1 pathway and suppressed STAT3 signaling, which subsequently restrains p-STAT3 nuclear translocation, leading to decreased pathogenic Th17 cell responses. Thus, we have identified an important role for DMI in regulating pathogenic Th17 cells, supporting DMI as a promising therapy in Th17 cell-driven autoimmune diseases including uveitis.

Wubuli A, Abdulla R, Zhao J, Wu T, Aisa HA. Exploring anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-related quality markers of Artemisia absinthium L. based on spectrum-effect relationship. PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS : PCA 2024. [PMID: 38591190 DOI: 10.1002/pca.3350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2024] [Revised: 03/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Artemisia absinthium L. is a well-known medicinal, aromatic, and edible plant with important medicinal and economic properties and a long history of use in treating liver inflammation and other diseases; however, there has been insufficient progress in quality control. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the quality markers for the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of A. absinthium based on spectrum-effect relationship analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighteen batches of A. absinthium from different origins were used. Chemical fingerprints were obtained by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). The chemical compositions were identified by quadrupole-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry. Anti-inflammatory activity was assessed by inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 and 15-lipoxygenase in vitro and inhibition of nitric oxide release in lipopolysaccharide-induced BV-2 cells. Antioxidant activity was assessed by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays. The relationship between bioactivity and chemical fingerprints was then analyzed using chemometrics including gray relational analysis, bivariate correlation analysis, and orthogonal partial least squares analysis. RESULTS Different batches of A. absinthium extracts possessed significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities to varying degrees. Eighty compounds were identified from A. absinthium, and 12 main common peaks were obtained from the UPLC fingerprints. P3 (chlorogenic acid), P5 (isochlorogenic acid A), and P6 (isochlorogenic acid C) were screened as the most promising active compounds by correlation analysis and further validated for their remarkable anti-inflammatory effects. CONCLUSION This is the first study to screen the quality markers of A. absinthium by establishing the spectrum-effect relationship, which can provide a reference for the development of quality standards and further research on A. absinthium.

Abstract
Itaconate has been found to have potent anti-inflammatory effects and is being explored as a potential treatment for inflammatory diseases. However, its ability to relieve nociception and the mechanisms behind it are not yet understood. Our research aims to investigate the nociception-relieving properties of dimethyl itaconate (DMI) in the formalin test and writhing test. In male Wistar rats, Itaconic acid was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.). The formalin test and writhing test were conducted to determine the nociceptive behaviors. The spinal cords were removed from the rats and analyzed for c-fos protein expression. The study found that administering DMI 10 and 20 mg/kg reduced nociception in formalin and writhing tests. Injection of formalin into the periphery of the body led to an increase in the expression of c-fos in the spinal cord, which was alleviated by DMI 20 mg/kg. Similarly, acetic acid injection into the peritoneal cavity caused an increase in c-fos expression in the spinal cord, which was then reduced by 20 mg/kg. According to our findings, DMI reduced nociception in rats during the formalin and writhing tests. One possible explanation for this outcome is that the decrease in c-fos protein expression may be attributed to the presence of DMI.

One-Step Synthesis of Hydrogel Adhesive with Acid-Responsive Tannin Release for Diabetic Oral Mucosa Defects Healing. Adv Healthc Mater 2024; 13:e2303252. [PMID: 38245866 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202303252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
The complex preparation, weak wet tissue adhesion, and limited biological activity of traditional oral wound dressings usually impede their efficient treatment and healing for diabetic oral mucosal defects. To overcome these problems, a novel hydrogel adhesive (named CFT hydrogel) is rapidly constructed using a one-step method based on dual-dynamic covalent cross-linking. Compared with the commercial oral patches, the CFT hydrogel shows superior in vivo (rat tongue) wet tissue adhesion performance. Additionally, the CFT hydrogel exhibits unique acid-responsive properties, thereby facilitating the release of bioactive molecule tannic acid in the acidic diabetic wound microenvironment. And a series of in vitro experiments substantiate the favorable biocompatibility and bioactivity properties (including antibacterial, antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and angiogenetic effects) exhibited by CFT hydrogel. Moreover, in vivo experiments conducted on a diabetic rat model with oral mucosal defects demonstrate that the CFT hydrogel exhibits significant efficacy in protecting against mucosal wounds, alleviating inflammatory reactions, thereby facilitating the wound-healing process. Taken together, this study provides a promising and comprehensive therapeutic option with great potential for the clinical management of oral mucosa defects in diabetic patients.

Abstract
4-octyl itaconate (4-OI) is a cell-permeable itaconate derivative with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, its therapeutic potential for oxidative stress-induced liver injury remains unknown. This study investigated the hepatoprotective effects and mechanisms of 4-OI against oxidative damage in in vitro and in vivo models. 4-OI attenuated H2O2-induced cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction in L02 and HepG2 cells. Untargeted metabolomics profiling and pathway analysis identified the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and MAPK pathways as key regulators of 4-OI's protective effects. Specifically, 4-OI induced phosphorylation of AKT and ERK1/2, leading to activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway. Nrf2 upregulated expression of the mitochondrial deacetylase Sirt3, which subsequently alleviated H2O2-induced cell injury. In mice, 4-OI reduced acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury as evidenced by attenuated hepatocellular necrosis and decreased serum liver enzymes. It also elevated hepatic expression of Nrf2, Sirt3, p-AKT and p-ERK1/2. Inhibition of AKT, ERK1/2 or Nrf2 blocked the protective effects of 4-OI in vitro, suggesting its antioxidant activity is mediated by activating the Nrf2/Sirt3 pathway via AKT and ERK1/2 phosphorylation. In summary, 4-OI exerted antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects by activating the Nrf2/Sirt3 signaling pathway through AKT and ERK1/2 phosphorylation, which were elucidated using in vitro and in vivo oxidative stress models. This provides novel insights into the mechanisms of 4-OI against oxidative stress-related liver diseases.

Abstract
As the primary solid phase, amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) is a pivotal precursor in cellular biomineralization. The intrinsic interplay between ACP and Howard factor underscores the significance of understanding their association for advancing biomimetic ACP development. While organic compounds play established roles in biomineralization, this study presents the synthesis of ACP with naturally occurring organic compounds (ascorbate, glutamate, and itaconate) ubiquitously found in mitochondria and vital for bone remodeling and healing. The developed ACP with organic compounds was meticulously characterized using XRD, FTIR, and solid-state 13C and 31P NMR. The morphological analysis revealed the characteristic spherical morphology with particle size close to 20 nm of all synthesized ACP variants. Notably, the type of organic compound strongly influences true density, specific surface area, particle size, and transformation. The in vitro analysis was performed with MC3T3-E1 cells, indicating the highest cell viability with ACP_ASC (ascorbate), followed by ACP_ITA (itaconate). The lowest cell viability was observed with 10 %w/v of ACP_GLU (glutamate); however, 1 %w/v of ACP_GLU was cytocompatible. Further, the effect of small organic molecules on the transformation of ACP to low crystalline apatite (Ap) was examined in Milli-Q® water, PBS, and α-MEM.

Abstract
Hydrogel wound dressings play a crucial role in promoting the healing of drug-resistant bacterially infected wounds. However, their clinical application often faces challenges such as the use of numerous components, a complicated preparation process, and insufficient biological activity. Itaconic acid, known for its excellent biological and reaction activities, has not been extensively studied for the preparation of itaconic acid-based hydrogels and their application in infected wound healing. Therefore, there is a need to develop a multifunctional single-component itaconic acid-based hydrogel that is easy to synthesize and holds promising prospects for clinical use in promoting the healing of infected wounds. In this study, we present a single-component polyitaconate-based hydrogel (PICGI) with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and biological activity. The PICGI hydrogel demonstrates great potential in promoting healing of infected wounds and skin regeneration. It exhibits desirable thermosensitive, injectable, and adhesive properties, as well as broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and anti-inflammatory effects. Furthermore, the PICGI hydrogel is biocompatible and significantly enhances the migration and tube formation of endothelial cells. In the case of drug-resistant bacterially infected wounds, the PICGI hydrogel effectively inhibits bacterial infection and inflammation, promotes angiogenesis, and facilitates collagen deposition, thereby accelerating the healing and regeneration of the skin. This study highlights the promising application of the PICGI hydrogel as a single-component hydrogel in tissue repair associated with bacterial infection and inflammation. Moreover, the simplicity of its components, convenient preparation process, and sufficient biological activity make the PICGI hydrogel highly suitable for promotion and clinical application.

Abstract
In-depth studies on the mechanisms of pathogenesis of sepsis and diagnostic biomarkers in the early stages may be the key to developing individualized and effective treatment strategies. This study aimed to identify sepsis-related hub genes and evaluate their diagnostic reliability. The gene expression profiles of GSE4607 and GSE131761 were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus. Differentially co-expressed genes between the sepsis and control groups were screened. Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis and gene set variation analysis were performed to investigate the biological functions of the hub genes. A receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate diagnostic value. Datasets GSE154918 and GSE185263 were used as external validation datasets to verify the reliability of the hub genes. Four differentially co-expressed genes, FAM89A, FFAR3, G0S2, and FGF13, were extracted using a weighted gene co-expression network analysis and differential gene expression analysis methods. These 4 genes were upregulated in the sepsis group and were distinct from those in the controls. Moreover, the receiver operating characteristic curves of the 4 genes exhibited considerable diagnostic value in discriminating septic blood samples from those of the non-septic control group. The reliability and consistency of these 4 genes were externally validated. Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis and gene set variation analysis analyses indicated that the 4 hub genes were significantly correlated with the regulation of immunity and metabolism in sepsis. The identified FAM89A, FFAR3, G0S2, and FGF13 genes may help elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying sepsis and drive the introduction of new biomarkers to advance diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Gasdermins (GSDMs) serve as pivotal executors of pyroptosis and play crucial roles in host defence, cytokine secretion, innate immunity, and cancer. However, excessive or inappropriate GSDMs activation is invariably accompanied by exaggerated inflammation and results in tissue damage. In contrast, deficient or impaired activation of GSDMs often fails to promptly eliminate pathogens, leading to the increasing severity of infections. The activity of GSDMs requires meticulous regulation. The dynamic modulation of GSDMs involves many aspects, including autoinhibitory structures, proteolytic cleavage, lipid binding and membrane translocation (oligomerization and pre-pore formation), oligomerization (pore formation) and pore removal for membrane repair. As the most comprehensive and efficient regulatory pathway, posttranslational modifications (PTMs) are widely implicated in the regulation of these aspects. In this comprehensive review, we delve into the complex mechanisms through which a variety of proteases cleave GSDMs to enhance or hinder their function. Moreover, we summarize the intricate regulatory mechanisms of PTMs that govern GSDMs-induced pyroptosis.

[PMID: 37573838 PMCID: PMC10440576 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2023.102843] [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: 07/07/2023] [Revised: 08/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a highly reactive metabolite generated by glycolysis. Although abnormal accumulation of MGO has been reported in several autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, the role of MGO in autoimmune diseases has not yet been fully investigated. In this study, we found that the intracellular MGO levels increased in activated immune cells, such as microglia and lymphocytes. Treatment with MGO inhibited inflammatory cell accumulation in the spinal cord and ameliorated the clinical symptoms in EAE mice. Further analysis indicated that MGO suppressed M1-polarization of microglia cells and diminished their inflammatory cytokine production. MGO also inhibited the ability of microglial cells to recruit and activate lymphocytes by decreasing chemokine secretion and expression of co-stimulatory molecules. Furthermore, MGO negatively regulated glycolysis by suppressing glucose transporter 1 expression. Mechanically, we found that MGO could activate nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) pathway and NRF2 could bind to the promoter of IκBζ gene and suppressed its transcription and subsequently pro-inflammatory cytokine production. In conclusion, our results showed that MGO acts as an immunosuppressive metabolite by activating the NRF2-IκBζ.

Abstract
Itaconate is a crucial anti-infective and anti-inflammatory immunometabolite that accumulates upon disruption of the Krebs cycle in effector macrophages undergoing inflammatory stress. Esterified derivatives of itaconate (4-octyl itaconate and dimethyl itaconate) and its isomers (mesaconate and citraconate) are promising candidate drugs for inflammation and infection. Several itaconate family members participate in host defense, immune and metabolic modulation, and amelioration of infection, although opposite effects have also been reported. However, the precise mechanisms by which itaconate and its family members exert its effects are not fully understood. In addition, contradictory results in different experimental settings and a lack of clinical data make it difficult to draw definitive conclusions about the therapeutic potential of itaconate. Here we review how the immune response gene 1-itaconate pathway is activated during infection and its role in host defense and pathogenesis in a context-dependent manner. Certain pathogens can use itaconate to establish infections. Finally, we briefly discuss the major mechanisms by which itaconate family members exert antimicrobial effects. To thoroughly comprehend how itaconate exerts its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, additional research on the actual mechanism of action is necessary. This review examines the current state of itaconate research in infection and identifies the key challenges and opportunities for future research in this field.

Abstract
Psoriasis, one of the most frequent immune-mediated skin diseases, is manifested by numerous psoriatic lessons on the skin caused by excessive proliferation and keratinization of epidermal cells. These disorders of keratinocyte metabolism are caused by a pathological interaction with the cells of the immune system, including lymphocytes, which in psoriasis are also responsible for systemic inflammation. This is accompanied by oxidative stress, which promotes the formation of lipid peroxidation products, including reactive aldehydes and isoprostanes, which are additional pro-inflammatory signaling molecules. Therefore, the presented review is focused on highlighting changes that occur during psoriasis development at the level of lipid peroxidation products, including 4-hydroxynonenal, 4-oxononenal, malondialdehyde, and acrolein, and their influence on protein structures. Furthermore, we will examine inducing agents of cellular functioning, as well as intercellular signaling. These lipid peroxidation products can form adducts with a variety of proteins with different functions in the body, including proteins within skin cells and cells of the immune system. This is especially true in autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis. For example, these changes concern proteins involved in maintaining redox homeostasis or pro-inflammatory signaling. Therefore, the formation of such adducts should attract attention, especially during the design of preventive cosmetics or anti-psoriasis therapies.
