Abstract
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) has been widely used in the periodontal treatment of intrabony and furcation defects for nearly four decades. The treatment outcomes have shown effectiveness in reducing pocket depth, improving attachment gain and bone filling in periodontal tissue. Although applying GTR could reconstruct the periodontal tissue, the surgical indications are relatively narrow, and some complications and race ethic problems bring new challenges. Therefore, it is challenging to achieve a consensus concerning the clinical benefits of GTR. With the appearance of stem cell-based regenerative medicine, mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have been considered a promising cell resource for periodontal regeneration. In this review, we highlight preclinical and clinical periodontal regeneration using MSCs derived from distinct origins, including non-odontogenic and odontogenic tissues and induced pluripotent stem cells, and discuss the transplantation procedures, therapeutic mechanisms, and concerns to evaluate the effectiveness of MSCs.

Promotion of osteochondral repair through immune microenvironment regulation and activation of endogenous chondrogenesis via the release of apoptotic vesicles from donor MSCs. Bioact Mater 2024; 41:455-470.

Abstract
Utilizing transplanted human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSCs) for cartilage defects yielded advanced tissue regeneration, but the underlying mechanism remain elucidated. Early after HUMSCs delivery to the defects, we observed substantial apoptosis. The released apoptotic vesicles (apoVs) of HUMSCs promoted cartilage regeneration by alleviating the chondro-immune microenvironment. ApoVs triggered M2 polarization in macrophages while simultaneously facilitating the chondrogenic differentiation of endogenous MSCs. Mechanistically, in macrophages, miR-100-5p delivered by apoVs activated the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway to promote M2 polarization. In MSCs, let-7i-5p delivered by apoVs promoted chondrogenic differentiation by targeting the eEF2K/p38 MAPK axis. Consequently, a cell-free cartilage regeneration strategy using apoVs combined with a decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix (DCM) scaffold effectively promoted the regeneration of osteochondral defects. Overall, new mechanisms of cartilage regeneration by transplanted MSCs were unconcealed in this study. Moreover, we provided a novel experimental basis for cell-free tissue engineering-based cartilage regeneration utilizing apoVs.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has made significant strides in cancer treatment, particularly through immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), which has shown notable clinical benefits across various tumor types. Despite the transformative impact of ICB treatment in cancer therapy, only a minority of patients exhibit a positive response to it. In patients with solid tumors, those who respond well to ICB treatment typically demonstrate an active immune profile referred to as the "hot" (immune-inflamed) phenotype. On the other hand, non-responsive patients may exhibit a distinct "cold" (immune-desert) phenotype, differing from the features of "hot" tumors. Additionally, there is a more nuanced "excluded" immune phenotype, positioned between the "cold" and "hot" categories, known as the immune "excluded" type. Effective differentiation between "cold" and "hot" tumors, and understanding tumor intrinsic factors, immune characteristics, TME, and external factors are critical for predicting tumor response and treatment results. It is widely accepted that ICB therapy exerts a more profound effect on "hot" tumors, with limited efficacy against "cold" or "altered" tumors, necessitating combinations with other therapeutic modalities to enhance immune cell infiltration into tumor tissue and convert "cold" or "altered" tumors into "hot" ones. Therefore, aligning with the traits of "cold" and "hot" tumors, this review systematically delineates the respective immune characteristics, influencing factors, and extensively discusses varied treatment approaches and drug targets based on "cold" and "hot" tumors to assess clinical efficacy.

A sphingolipid rheostat controls apoptosis versus apical cell extrusion as alternative tumour-suppressive mechanisms. Cell Death Dis 2024; 15:746.

Abstract
Evasion of cell death is a hallmark of cancer, and consequently the induction of cell death is a common strategy in cancer treatment. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating different types of cell death are poorly understood. We have formerly shown that in the epidermis of hypomorphic zebrafish hai1a mutant embryos, pre-neoplastic transformations of keratinocytes caused by unrestrained activity of the type II transmembrane serine protease Matriptase-1 heal spontaneously. This healing is driven by Matriptase-dependent increased sphingosine kinase (SphK) activity and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)-mediated keratinocyte loss via apical cell extrusion. In contrast, amorphic hai1afr26 mutants with even higher Matriptase-1 and SphK activity die within a few days. Here we show that this lethality is not due to epidermal carcinogenesis, but to aberrant tp53-independent apoptosis of keratinocytes caused by increased levels of pro-apoptotic C16 ceramides, sphingolipid counterparts to S1P within the sphingolipid rheostat, which severely compromises the epidermal barrier. Mathematical modelling of sphingolipid rheostat homeostasis, combined with in vivo manipulations of components of the rheostat or the ceramide de novo synthesis pathway, indicate that this unexpected overproduction of ceramides is caused by a negative feedback loop sensing ceramide levels and controlling ceramide replenishment via de novo synthesis. Therefore, despite their initial decrease due to increased conversion to S1P, ceramides eventually reach cell death-inducing levels, making transformed pre-neoplastic keratinocytes die even before they are extruded, thereby abrogating the normally barrier-preserving mode of apical live cell extrusion. Our results offer an in vivo perspective of the dynamics of sphingolipid homeostasis and its relevance for epithelial cell survival versus cell death, linking apical cell extrusion and apoptosis. Implications for human carcinomas and their treatments are discussed.

Abstract
Despite our increasing understanding of macrophage heterogeneity, drivers of macrophage phenotypic and functional polarization in the microenvironment are not fully elucidated. Here, our single-cell RNA sequencing data identify a subpopulation of macrophages expressing high levels of the phagocytic receptor MER proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase (MerTK+ macrophages), which is closely associated with melanoma progression and immunotherapy resistance. Adoptive transfer of the MerTK+ macrophages into recipient mice notably accelerated tumor growth regardless of macrophage depletion. Mechanistic studies further revealed that ALK And LTK Ligand 1 (ALKAL1), a target gene of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), facilitated MerTK phosphorylation, resulting in heightened phagocytic activity of MerTK+ macrophages and their subsequent polarization toward an immunosuppressive phenotype. Specifically targeted delivery of AhR antagonist to tumor-associated macrophages with mannosylated micelles could suppress MerTK expression and improved the therapeutic efficacy of anti-programmed cell death ligand 1 therapy. Our findings shed light on the regulatory mechanism of MerTK+ macrophages and provide strategies for improving the efficacy of melanoma immunotherapy.

Abstract
After ischaemic cerebral vascular injury, efferocytosis-a process known as the efficient clearance of apoptotic cells (ACs) by various phagocytes in both physiological and pathological states-is crucial for maintaining central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis and regaining prognosis. The mechanisms of efferocytosis in ischaemic stroke and its influence on preventing inflammation progression from secondary injury were still not fully understood, despite the fact that the fundamental process of efferocytosis has been described in a series of phases, including AC recognition, phagocyte engulfment, and subsequent degradation. The genetic reprogramming of macrophages and brain-resident microglia after an ischaemic stroke has been equated by some researchers to that of the peripheral blood and brain. Based on previous studies, some molecules, such as signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARG), CD300A, and sigma non-opioid intracellular receptor 1 (SIGMAR1), were discovered to be largely associated with aspects of apoptotic cell elimination and accompanying neuroinflammation, such as inflammatory cytokine release, phenotype transformation, and suppressing of antigen presentation. Exacerbated stroke outcomes are brought on by defective efferocytosis and improper modulation of pertinent signalling pathways in blood-borne macrophages and brain microglia, which also results in subsequent tissue inflammatory damage. This review focuses on recent researches which contain a number of recently discovered mechanisms, such as studies on the relationship between benign efferocytosis and the regulation of inflammation in ischaemic stroke, the roles of some risk factors in disease progression, and current immune approaches that aim to promote efferocytosis to treat some autoimmune diseases. Understanding these pathways provides insight into novel pathophysiological processes and fresh characteristics, which can be used to build cerebral ischaemia targeting techniques.

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
Phosphatidylserine (PtdS) is classified as a glycerophospholipid and a primary anionic phospholipid and is particularly abundant in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane in neural tissues. It is synthesized from phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine by exchanging the base head group with serine, and this reaction is catalyzed by PtdS synthase-1 and PtdS synthase-2 located in the endoplasmic reticulum. PtdS exposure on the outside surface of the cell is essential for eliminating apoptotic cells and initiating the blood clotting cascade. It is also a precursor of phosphatidylethanolamine, produced by PtdS decarboxylase in bacteria, yeast, and mammalian cells. Furthermore, PtdS acts as a cofactor for several necessary enzymes that participate in signaling pathways. Beyond these functions, several studies indicate that PtdS plays a role in various cerebral functions, including activating membrane signaling pathways, neuroinflammation, neurotransmission, and synaptic refinement associated with the central nervous system (CNS). This review discusses the occurrence of PtdS in nature and biosynthesis via enzymes and genes in plants, yeast, prokaryotes, mammalian cells, and the brain, and enzymatic synthesis through phospholipase D (PLD). Furthermore, we discuss metabolism, its role in the CNS, the fortification of foods, and supplementation for improving some memory functions, the results of which remain unclear. PtdS can be a potentially beneficial addition to foods for kids, seniors, athletes, and others, especially with the rising consumer trend favoring functional foods over conventional pills and capsules. Clinical studies have shown that PtdS is safe and well tolerated by patients.

Abstract
Goldspire™ is a personalized immunotherapy platform that combines whole tumor-derived cells with antisense oligonucleotide (IMV-001) against Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Receptor (IGF-1R) in biodiffusion chambers (BDCs; 0.1 μm pore). BDCs are exposed to 5-6 Gy and implanted at abdominal sites for ∼48 h to deliver an antigenic payload and immunostimulatory factors to train the immune system. Lead product IGV-001 was evaluated in newly diagnosed glioblastoma (ndGBM) patients in Phase 1a and 1b trials (NCT02507583). A Phase 2b study (NCT04485949) recently completed enrollment. Preventative treatment with tumor-specific products manufactured with Goldspire limited tumor progression and extended overall survival in mice challenged with bladder, pancreatic, ovarian, colorectal, or renal carcinomas. The benefit of this immunotherapy was enhanced with anti-PD-1; combination treatment was superior to either monotherapy in orthotopic GBM and melanoma models. Lastly, Goldspire elicited immune T cell activation and memory phenotypes against patient-derived endometrial tumor-derived products in co-cultures with matching immune cells.

Abstract
Macrophage polarization divides macrophages into two main cell subpopulations, classically and alternatively activated macrophages (M1 and M2, respectively). M1 polarization promotes osteoclastogenesis, while M2 polarization promotes osteogenesis. The physiological homeostasis of bone metabolism involves a high dynamic balance between osteoclastic-mediated bone resorption and formation. Reportedly, M1/M2 imbalance causes the onset and persistence of inflammation-related bone diseases. Therefore, understanding the research advances in functions and roles of macrophages in such diseases will provide substantial guidance for improved treatment of bone diseases. In this review, we underscore and summarize the research advances in macrophage polarization, and bone-related diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis, over the last 5 years. Our findings showed that targeting macrophages and balancing macrophage polarization can effectively reduce inflammation and decrease bone destruction while promoting bone formation and vascular repair. These results indicate that regulating macrophage and macrophage polarization to restore homeostasis is a prospective approach for curing bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Fatally injured neurons may necrose and rupture immediately, or they may initiate a programmed cell death pathway and then wait for microglial phagocytosis. Biochemical and histopathologic assays of neuronal death assess the numbers of neurons awaiting phagocytosis at a particular time point after injury. This number varies with the fraction of neurons that have necrosed vs initiated programmed cell death, the time elapsed since injury, the rate of phagocytosis, and the assay's ability to detect neurons at different stages of programmed cell death. Many of these variables can be altered by putatively neurotoxic and neuroprotective interventions independent of the effects on neuronal death. This complicates analyses of neurotoxicity and neuroprotection and has likely contributed to difficulties with clinical translation of neuroprotective strategies after brain injury. Time-resolved assays of neuronal health, such as ongoing expression of transgenic fluorescent proteins, are a useful means of avoiding these problems.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is the rheumatic disease with the highest individual mortality rate with a detrimental impact on quality of life. Cell-based therapies may offer new perspectives for this disease as recent phase I trials support the safety of IV infusion of allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells in SSc and case reports highlight the potential use of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T cells targeting CD19 in active SSc patients who have not responded to conventional immunosuppressive therapies. AREAS COVERED This narrative review highlights the most recent evidence supporting the use of cellular therapies in SSc as well as their potential mechanisms of action and discusses future perspectives for cell-based therapies in SSc. Medline/PubMed was used to identify the articles of interest, using the keywords 'Cellular therapies,' 'Mesenchymal stromal cells,' 'Chimeric Antigen Receptor' AND 'systemic sclerosis.' Milestones articles reported by the authors were also used. EXPERT OPINION Cellular therapies may represent an opportunity for long-term remission/cure in patients with different autoimmune diseases, including SSc who have not responded to conventional therapies. Multiple ongoing phase I/II trials will provide greater insights into the efficacy and toxicity of cellular therapies.

Abstract
Lysosomes have a central role in the disposal of extracellular and intracellular cargo and also function as metabolic sensors and signalling platforms in the immunometabolic reprogramming of macrophages and other immune cells in atherosclerosis. Lysosomes can rapidly sense the presence of nutrients within immune cells, thereby switching from catabolism of extracellular material to the recycling of intracellular cargo. Such a fine-tuned degradative response supports the generation of metabolic building blocks through effectors such as mTORC1 or TFEB. By coupling nutrients to downstream signalling and metabolism, lysosomes serve as a crucial hub for cellular function in innate and adaptive immune cells. Lysosomal dysfunction is now recognized to be a hallmark of atherogenesis. Perturbations in nutrient-sensing and signalling have profound effects on the capacity of immune cells to handle cholesterol, perform phagocytosis and efferocytosis, and limit the activation of the inflammasome and other inflammatory pathways. Strategies to improve lysosomal function hold promise as novel modulators of the immunoinflammatory response associated with atherosclerosis. In this Review, we describe the crosstalk between lysosomal biology and immune cell function and polarization, with a particular focus on cellular immunometabolic reprogramming in the context of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Efficient macrophage efferocytosis maintains homeostasis and resolves inflammation. Here, we provide a protocol to assess the engulfment and acidification of apoptotic cells (ACs) by macrophages. We describe steps for preparing bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and peritoneal macrophages (PMs), fluorescent labeling of ACs using both a pH-sensitive dye, pHrodo-Red succinimidyl ester, and a pH-insensitive dye, Hoechst, and subsequent incubation with macrophages for efferocytosis. We then detail procedures for flow cytometry-based quantification of engulfment and acidification. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Shi and Wu et al.1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) stands out as the most fatal subtype of stroke, currently devoid of effective therapy. Recent research underscores the significance of Axl and its ligand growth arrest-specific 6 (Gas6) in normal brain function and a spectrum of neurological disorders, including ICH. This study is designed to delve into the role of Gas6/Axl signaling in facilitating hematoma clearance and neuroinflammation resolution following ICH. METHODS Adult male C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to sham and ICH groups. ICH was induced by intrastriatal injection of autologous arterial blood. Recombinant mouse Gas6 (rmGas6) was administered intracerebroventricularly 30 min after ICH. Virus-induced knockdown of Axl or R428 (a selective inhibitor of Axl) treatment was administrated before ICH induction to investigate the protective mechanisms. Molecular changes were assessed using western blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunohistochemistry. Coronal brain slices, brain water content and neurobehavioral tests were employed to evaluate histological and neurofunctional outcomes, respectively. Primary glia cultures and erythrophagocytosis assays were applied for mechanistic studies. RESULTS The expression of Axl increased at 12 h after ICH, peaking on day 3. Gas6 expression did not remarkably changed until day 3 post-ICH. Early administration of rmGas6 following ICH significantly reduced hematoma volume, mitigated brain edema, and restored neurological function. Both Axl-knockdown and Axl inhibitor treatment abolished the neuroprotection of exogenous Gas6 in ICH. In vitro studies demonstrated that microglia exhibited higher capacity for phagocytosing eryptotic erythrocytes compared to normal erythrocytes, a process reversed by blocking the externalized phosphatidylserine on eryptotic erythrocytes. The erythrophagocytosis by microglia was Axl-mediated and Gas6-dependent. Augmentation of Gas6/Axl signaling attenuated neuroinflammation and drove microglia towards pro-resolving phenotype. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated the beneficial effects of recombinant Gas6 on hematoma resolution, alleviation of neuroinflammation, and neurofunctional recovery in an animal model of ICH. These effects were primarily mediated by the phagocytotic role of Axl expressed on microglia.

Abstract
Macrophage-based cell therapeutics is an emerging modality to treat cancer and repair tissue damage. A reproducible manufacturing and engineering process is central to fulfilling their therapeutic potential. Here, we establish a robust macrophage-manufacturing platform (Mo-Mac) and demonstrate that macrophage functionality can be enhanced by N1-methylpseudouridine (m1Ψ)-modified mRNA. Using single-cell transcriptomic analysis as an unbiased approach, we found that >90% cells in the final product were macrophages while the rest primarily comprised T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, promyelocytes, promonocytes, and hematopoietic stem cells. This analysis also guided the development of flow-cytometry strategies to assess cell compositions in the manufactured product to meet requirements by the National Medical Products Administration. To modulate macrophage functionality, as an illustrative example we examined whether the engulfment capability of macrophages could be enhanced by mRNA technology. We found that efferocytosis was increased in vitro when macrophages were electroporated with m1Ψ-modified mRNA encoding CD300LF (CD300LF-mRNA-macrophage). Consistently, in a mouse model of acute liver failure, CD300LF-mRNA-macrophages facilitated organ recovery from acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity. These results demonstrate a GMP-compliant macrophage-manufacturing process and indicate that macrophages can be engineered by versatile mRNA technology to achieve therapeutic goals.

Abstract
Cytotoxic chemotherapies have devastating side effects, particularly within the gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal toxicity includes the death and damage of the epithelium and an imbalance in the intestinal microbiota, otherwise known as dysbiosis. Whether dysbiosis is a direct contributor to tissue toxicity is a key area of focus. Here, from both mammalian and bacterial perspectives, we uncover an intestinal epithelial cell death-Enterobacteriaceae signaling axis that fuels dysbiosis. Specifically, our data demonstrate that chemotherapy-induced epithelial cell apoptosis and the purine-containing metabolites released from dying cells drive the inter-kingdom transcriptional re-wiring of the Enterobacteriaceae, including fundamental shifts in bacterial respiration and promotion of purine utilization-dependent expansion, which in turn delays the recovery of the intestinal tract. Inhibition of epithelial cell death or restriction of the Enterobacteriaceae to homeostatic levels reverses dysbiosis and improves intestinal recovery. These findings suggest that supportive therapies that maintain homeostatic levels of Enterobacteriaceae may be useful in resolving intestinal disease.

Abstract
Proteomic analyses of the phagosome has significantly improved our understanding of the proteins which contribute to critical phagosome functions such as apoptotic cell clearance and microbial killing. However, previous methods of isolating phagosomes for proteomic analysis have relied on cell fractionation with some intrinsic limitations. Here, we present an alternative and modular proximity-labeling based strategy for mass spectrometry proteomic analysis of the phagosome lumen, termed PhagoID. We optimize proximity labeling in the phagosome and apply PhagoID to immortalized murine macrophages as well as primary human macrophages. Analysis of proteins detected by PhagoID in murine macrophages demonstrate that PhagoID corroborates previous proteomic studies, but also nominates novel proteins with unexpected residence at the phagosome for further study. A direct comparison between the proteins detected by PhagoID between mouse and human macrophages further reveals that human macrophage phagosomes have an increased abundance of proteins involved in the oxidative burst and antigen presentation. Our study develops and benchmarks a new approach to measure the protein composition of the phagosome and validates a subset of these findings, ultimately using PhagoID to grant further insight into the core constituent proteins and species differences at the phagosome lumen.

Abstract
Efferocytosis, the clearance of apoptotic cells by macrophages, plays a crucial role in inflammatory responses and effectively prevents secondary necrosis. However, the mechanisms underlying efferocytosis in acute pancreatitis (AP) remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrated the presence of efferocytosis in injured human and mouse pancreatic tissues. We also observed significant upregulation of CD47, an efferocytosis-related the "do not eat me" molecule in injured acinar cells. Subsequently, we used CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, anti-adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene modification, and anti-CD47 antibody to investigate the potential therapeutic role of AP. CD47 expression was negatively regulated by upstream miR133a, which is controlled by the transcription factor TRIM28. To further investigate the regulation of efferocytosis and reduction of pancreatic necrosis in AP, we used miR-133a-agomir and pancreas-specific AAV-shTRIM28 to modulate CD47 expression. Our findings confirmed that CD47-mediated efferocytosis is critical for preventing pancreatic necrosis and suggest that targeting the TRIM28-miR133a-CD47 axis is clinically relevant for the treatment of AP.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are a severe complication of diabetes, characterized by persistent, non-healing ulcers due to disrupted wound-healing mechanisms in a hyperglycemic environment. Key factors in the pathogenesis of these chronic wounds include unresolved inflammation and antioxidant defense imbalances. The cystine/glutamate antiporter SLC7A11 (xCT) is crucial for cystine import, glutathione production, and antioxidant protection, positioning it as a vital regulator of diabetic wound healing. Recent studies underscore the role of SLC7A11 in modulating immune responses and oxidative stress in diabetic wounds. Moreover, SLC7A11 influences critical processes such as insulin secretion and the mTOR signaling pathway, both of which are implicated in delayed wound healing. This review explores the mechanisms regulating SLC7A11 and its impact on immune response, antioxidant defenses, insulin secretion, and mTOR pathways in diabetic wounds. Additionally, we highlight the current advancements in targeting SLC7A11 for treating related diseases and conceptualize its potential applications and value in diabetic wound treatment strategies, along with the challenges encountered in this context.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke (IS) is a severe cerebrovascular disease with high disability and mortality rates, where the inflammatory response is crucial to its progression and prognosis. Efferocytosis, the prompt removal of dead cells, can reduce excessive inflammation after IS injury. While electroacupuncture (EA) has been shown to decrease inflammation post-ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), its link to efferocytosis is unclear. Our research identified ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (Abca1) as a key regulator of the engulfment process of efferocytosis after IS by analyzing public datasets and validating findings in a mouse model, revealing its close ties to IS progression. We demonstrated that EA can reduce neuronal cell death and excessive inflammation caused by I/R. Furthermore, EA treatment increased Abca1 expression, prevented microglia activation, promoted M2 microglia polarization, and enhanced their ability to phagocytose injured neurons in I/R mice. This suggests that EA's modulation of efferocytosis could be a potential mechanism for reducing cerebral I/R injury, making regulators of efferocytosis steps a promising therapeutic target for EA benefits.

Abstract
Billions of cells are eliminated daily from our bodies1-4. Although macrophages and dendritic cells are dedicated to migrating and engulfing dying cells and debris, many epithelial and mesenchymal tissue cells can digest nearby apoptotic corpses1-4. How these non-motile, non-professional phagocytes sense and eliminate dying cells while maintaining their normal tissue functions is unclear. Here we explore the mechanisms that underlie their multifunctionality by exploiting the cyclical bouts of tissue regeneration and degeneration during hair cycling. We show that hair follicle stem cells transiently unleash phagocytosis at the correct time and place through local molecular triggers that depend on both lipids released by neighbouring apoptotic corpses and retinoids released by healthy counterparts. We trace the heart of this dual ligand requirement to RARγ-RXRα, whose activation enables tight regulation of apoptotic cell clearance genes and provides an effective, tunable mechanism to offset phagocytic duties against the primary stem cell function of preserving tissue integrity during homeostasis. Finally, we provide functional evidence that hair follicle stem cell-mediated phagocytosis is not simply redundant with professional phagocytes but rather has clear benefits to tissue fitness. Our findings have broad implications for other non-motile tissue stem or progenitor cells that encounter cell death in an immune-privileged niche.

Abstract
Synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), are characterized by neuronal loss accompanied by α-synuclein (α-syn) accumulation in the brain. While research conventionally focused on brain pathology, there is growing interest in peripheral alterations. Erythrocytes, which are rich in α-syn, have emerged as a compelling site for synucleinopathies-related alterations. Erythrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), containing pathological α-syn species, can traverse the blood-brain barrier (BBB) under certain conditions and the gastrointestinal tract, where α-syn and gut microbiota interact extensively. This review explores the accumulating evidence of erythrocyte involvement in synucleinopathies, as well as their potential in disease pathogenesis and diagnosis. Given their unique properties, erythrocytes and erythrocyte-derived EVs may also serve as an ideal therapeutic platform for treating synucleinopathies and beyond.

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
Central nervous system (CNS) injuries induce cell death and consequently the release of myelin and other cellular debris. Microglia as well as hematogenous macrophages actively collaborate to phagocyte them and undergo their degradation. However, myelin accumulation persists in the lesion site long after the injury with detrimental effects on axonal regeneration. This might be due to the presence of inhibitors of phagocytosis in the injury site. As we recently published that some proinflammatory stimuli, like interferon-γ (IFNγ) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), inhibit myelin phagocytosis in macrophages, we have now studied the signaling pathways involved. A phagocytosis assay in Raw264.7 macrophages and N13 microglia cell lines with labeled myelin was developed with the pHrodo reagent that emits fluorescence in acidic cellular compartments (e.g.lysosomes). Pharmacological inhibition of Janus kinases (Jak) with Brepocitinib restored myelin phagocytosis and rescued the expression of genes related to phagocytosis, like triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), induced by IFNγ or LPS. In addition, while pharmacological inhibition of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) rescued myelin phagocytosis and the expression of phagocytosis related genes in the presence of LPS, it did not have any effect on IFNγ-treated cells. Our results show that Jak pathways participate in the inhibition of myelin phagocytosis by IFNγ and LPS. They also indicate that the resolution of inflammation is important for the clearance of cellular debris by macrophages and subsequent regenerative processes.

MSR1-dependent efferocytosis improved ischemia-reperfusion injury following aged-donor liver transplantation in mice by regulating the pro-resolving polarisation of macrophages.

Abstract
Compared with young liver donors, aged liver donors are more susceptible to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) following transplantation, which may be related to excessive inflammatory response and macrophage dysfunction, but the specific mechanism is unclear. Macrophage scavenger receptor 1 (MSR1) is a member of the scavenger receptor family, and plays an important regulatory role in inflammation response and macrophage function regulation. But its role in IRI following aged-donor liver transplantation is still unclear. This study demonstrates that MSR1 expression is decreased in macrophages from aged donor livers, inhibiting their efferocytosis and pro-resolving polarisation. Decreased MSR1 is responsible for the more severe IRI suffered by aged donor livers. Overexpression of MSR1 using F4/80-labelled AAV9 improved intrahepatic macrophage efferocytosis and promoted pro-resolving polarisation, ultimately ameliorating IRI following aged-donor liver transplantation. In vitro co-culture experiments further showed that overexpression of MSR1 promoted an increase in calcium concentration, which further activated the PI3K-AKT-GSK3β pathway, and induced the upregulation of β-catenin. Overall, MSR1-dependent efferocytosis promoted the pro-resolving polarisation of macrophages through the PI3K-AKT-GSK3β pathway-induced up-regulating of β-catenin leading to improved IRI following aged-donor liver transplantation.

Abstract
Ferroptosis holds significant potential for application in cancer therapy. However, ferroptosis inducers are not cell-specific and can cause phospholipid peroxidation in both tumor and non-tumor cells. This limitation greatly restricts the use of ferroptosis therapy as a safe and effective anticancer strategy. Our previous study demonstrated that macrophages can engulf ferroptotic cells through Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2). Despite this advancement, the precise mechanism by which phospholipid peroxidation in macrophages affects their phagocytotic capability during treatment of tumors with ferroptotic agents is still unknown. Here, we utilized flow sorting combined with redox phospholipidomics to determine that phospholipid peroxidation in tumor microenvironment (TME) macrophages impaired the macrophages ability to eliminate ferroptotic tumor cells by phagocytosis, ultimately fostering tumor resistance to ferroptosis therapy. Mechanistically, the accumulation of phospholipid peroxidation in the macrophage endoplasmic reticulum (ER) repressed TLR2 trafficking to the plasma membrane and caused its retention in the ER by disrupting the interaction between TLR2 and its chaperone CNPY3. Subsequently, this ER-retained TLR2 recruited E3 ligase MARCH6 and initiated the proteasome-dependent degradation. Using redox phospholipidomics, we identified 1-steaoryl-2-15-HpETE-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine (SAPE-OOH) as the crucial mediator of these effects. Conclusively, our discovery elucidates a novel molecular mechanism underlying macrophage phospholipid peroxidation-induced tumor resistance to ferroptosis therapy and highlights the TLR2-MARCH6 axis as a potential therapeutic target for cancer therapy.

Abstract
The process of apoptotic cell clearance by phagocytes, known as efferocytosis, plays an essential role in maintaining homeostasis. Defects in efferocytosis can lead to inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis and autoimmune disorders. Therefore, the maintenance and promotion of efferocytosis are considered crucial for preventing these diseases. In this study, we observed that resveratrol, a representative functional food ingredient, and its glycoside, piceid, promoted efferocytosis in both human THP-1 macrophages differentiated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and peritoneal macrophages from thioglycolate-elicited mice. Resveratrol and piceid significantly increased mRNA expression and protein secretion of MFG-E8 in THP-1 macrophages. Furthermore, the activation of efferocytosis and the increment in MFG-E8 protein secretion caused by resveratrol or piceid treatment were canceled by MFG-E8 knockdown in THP-1 macrophages. In conclusion, we have demonstrated for the first time that resveratrol and piceid promote efferocytosis through the upregulation of MFG-E8 excretion in human THP-1 macrophages.

Abstract
Cancer is a serious public health problem worldwide. Traditional treatments, such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, do not always yield satisfactory results; therefore, an efficient treatment for tumours is urgently needed. As a convenient and minimally invasive modality, focused ultrasound (FUS) has been used not only as a diagnostic tool but also as a therapeutic tool in an increasing number of studies. FUS can help treat malignant tumours by inducing apoptosis. This review describes the three apoptotic pathways, apoptotic cell clearance, and how FUS affects these three apoptotic pathways. This review also discusses the role of thermal and cavitation effects on apoptosis, including caspase activity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and Ca2+ elease. Finally, this article reviews various aspects of FUS combination therapy, including sensitization by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, gene expression upregulation, and the introduction of therapeutic gases, to provide new ideas for clinical tumour therapy.

Abstract
Efficient efferocytosis is essential for maintaining homeostasis. Excessive apoptotic cell (AC) death and impaired macrophage efferocytosis lead to autoantigen release and autoantibody production, immune activation, and organ damage. It remains unclear whether these immunogenic autoantigens are the sole cause of increased autoimmunity or if efferocytosis of ACs directly influences macrophage function, impacting their ability to activate T cells and potentially amplifying autoimmune responses. Additionally, it has not been established if enhancing macrophage efferocytosis or modulating macrophage responses to AC engulfment can be protective in autoimmune-like disorders. Our previous work showed WDFY3 is crucial for efficient macrophage efferocytosis. This study reveals that myeloid knockout of Wdfy3 exacerbates autoimmunity in young mice with increased AC burden by systemic injections of ACs and in middle-aged mice developing spontaneous autoimmunity, whereas ectopic overexpression of WDFY3 suppresses autoimmunity in these models. Macrophages, as efferocytes, can activate T cells and the inflammasome upon engulfing ACs, which are suppressed by overexpressing WDFY3. This work uncovered the role of WDFY3 as a protector against autoimmunity by promoting macrophage efferocytosis thus limiting autoantigen production, as well as mitigating T cell activation and inflammasome activation.

Abstract
Defects in apoptotic cell clearance, or efferocytosis, can cause inflammatory diseases and prevent tissue repair due in part to inducing a pro-repair transcriptional program in phagocytic cells like macrophages. While the cellular machinery and metabolic pathways involved in efferocytosis have been characterized, the precise efferocytic response of macrophages is dependent on the identity and macromolecular cues of apoptotic cells, and the complex tissue microenvironment in which efferocytosis occurs. Here, we find that macrophages undergoing active efferocytosis in mid-stage mouse skin wounds in vivo display a pro-repair gene program, while efferocytosis of apoptotic skin fibroblasts in vitro also induces an inflammatory transcription response. These data provide a resource for understanding how the skin wound environment influences macrophage efferocytosis and will be useful for future investigations that define the role of efferocytosis during tissue repair.

Abstract
Efferocytosis refers to the process by which phagocytes remove apoptotic cells and related apoptotic products. It is essential for the growth and development of the body, the repair of damaged or inflamed tissues, and the balance of the immune system. Damaged efferocytosis will cause a variety of chronic inflammation and immune system diseases. Many studies show that efferocytosis is a process mediated by mitochondria. Mitochondrial metabolism, mitochondrial dynamics, and communication between mitochondria and other organelles can all affect phagocytes' clearance of apoptotic cells. Therefore, targeting mitochondria to modulate phagocyte efferocytosis is an anticipated strategy to prevent and treat chronic inflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases. In this review, we introduced the mechanism of efferocytosis and the pivoted role of mitochondria in efferocytosis. In addition, we focused on the therapeutic implication of drugs targeting mitochondria in diseases related to efferocytosis dysfunction.

Abstract
The resolution of inflammation, the other side of the inflammatory response, is defined as an active and highly coordinated process that promotes the restoration of immune microenvironment balance and tissue repair. Inflammation resolution involves several key processes, including dampening proinflammatory signaling, specialized proresolving lipid mediator (SPM) production, nonlipid proresolving mediator production, efferocytosis and regulatory T-cell (Treg) induction. In recent years, increasing attention has been given to the effects of inflammation resolution on hypertension. Furthermore, our previous studies reported the antihypertensive effects of SPMs. Therefore, in this review, we aim to summarize and discuss the detailed association between arterial hypertension and inflammation resolution. Additional, the association between gut microbe-mediated immune and hypertension is discussed. This findings suggested that accelerating the resolution of inflammation can have beneficial effects on hypertension and its related organ damage. Exploring novel drug targets by focusing on various pathways involved in accelerating inflammation resolution will contribute to the treatment and control of hypertensive diseases in the future.

Abstract
Macrophages are versatile immune cells with remarkable plasticity, enabling them to adapt to diverse tissue microenvironments and perform various functions. Traditionally categorized into classically activated (M1) and alternatively activated (M2) phenotypes, recent advances have revealed a spectrum of macrophage activation states that extend beyond this dichotomy. The complex interplay of signaling pathways, transcriptional regulators, and epigenetic modifications orchestrates macrophage polarization, allowing them to respond to various stimuli dynamically. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the signaling cascades governing macrophage plasticity, focusing on the roles of Toll-like receptors, signal transducer and activator of transcription proteins, nuclear receptors, and microRNAs. We also discuss the emerging concepts of macrophage metabolic reprogramming and trained immunity, contributing to their functional adaptability. Macrophage plasticity plays a pivotal role in tissue repair and regeneration, with macrophages coordinating inflammation, angiogenesis, and matrix remodeling to restore tissue homeostasis. By harnessing the potential of macrophage plasticity, novel therapeutic strategies targeting macrophage polarization could be developed for various diseases, including chronic wounds, fibrotic disorders, and inflammatory conditions. Ultimately, a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underpinning macrophage plasticity will pave the way for innovative regenerative medicine and tissue engineering approaches.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a novel form of cell demise characterized primarily by the reduction of trivalent iron to divalent iron, leading to the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and consequent induction of intense oxidative stress. In atherosclerosis (AS), highly accumulated lipids are modified by ROS to promote the formation of lipid peroxides, further amplifying cellular oxidative stress damage to influence all stages of atherosclerotic development. Macrophages are regarded as pivotal executors in the progression of AS and the handling of iron, thus targeting macrophage iron metabolism holds significant guiding implications for exploring potential therapeutic strategies against AS. In this comprehensive review, we elucidate the potential interplay among iron overload, inflammation, and lipid dysregulation, summarizing the potential mechanisms underlying the suppression of AS by alleviating iron overload. Furthermore, the application of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is increasingly widespread. Based on extant research and the pharmacological foundations of active compounds of TCM, we propose alternative therapeutic agents for AS in the context of iron overload, aiming to diversify the therapeutic avenues.

Dietary and water restriction leads to increased susceptibility to antimicrobial resistant pathogens. SCIENCE ADVANCES 2024; 10:eadi7438.

Abstract
Dehydration and malnutrition are common and often underdiagnosed in hospital settings. Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections result in more than 35,000 deaths a year in nosocomial patients. The effect of temporal dietary and water restriction (DWR) on susceptibility to multidrug-resistant pathogens is unknown. We report that DWR markedly increased susceptibility to systemic infection by ESKAPE pathogens. Using a murine bloodstream model of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection, we show that DWR leads to significantly increased mortality and morbidity. DWR causes increased bacterial burden, severe pathology, and increased numbers of phagocytes in the kidney. DWR appears to alter the functionality of these phagocytes and is therefore unable to control infection. Mechanistically, we show that DWR impairs the ability of macrophages to phagocytose multiple bacterial pathogens and efferocytose apoptotic neutrophils. Together, this work highlights the crucial impact that diet and hydration play in protecting against infection.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, having become a global public health problem, so the pathophysiological mechanisms and therapeutic strategies of CVDs need further study. Legumain is a powerful enzyme that is widely distributed in mammals and plays an important role in a variety of biological processes. Recent research suggests that legumain is associated with the occurrence and progression of CVDs. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of legumain in the pathogenesis of CVDs. The role of legumain in CVDs, such as carotid atherosclerosis, pulmonary hypertension, coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, aortic aneurysms and dissection, is discussed. The potential applications of legumain as a biomarker of these diseases are also explored. By understanding the role of legumain in the pathogenesis of CVDs, we aim to support new therapeutic strategies to prevent or treat these diseases.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disorder characterized by microvascular injury, extracellular matrix deposition, autoimmunity, inflammation, and fibrosis. The clinical complexity and high heterogeneity of the disease make the discovery of potential therapeutic targets difficult. However, the recent progress in the comprehension of its pathogenesis is encouraging. Growth Arrest-Specific 6 (Gas6) and Tyro3, Axl, and MerTK (TAM) receptors are involved in multiple biological processes, including modulation of the immune response, phagocytosis, apoptosis, fibrosis, inflammation, cancer development, and autoimmune disorders. In the present manuscript, we review the current evidence regarding SSc pathogenesis and the role of the Gas6/TAM system in several human diseases, suggesting its likely contribution in SSc and highlighting areas where further research is necessary to fully comprehend the role of TAM receptors in this condition. Indeed, understanding the involvement of TAM receptors in SSc, which is currently unknown, could provide valuable insights for novel potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Stroke stands as a predominant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, and there is a pressing need for effective therapies to improve outcomes and enhance the quality of life for stroke survivors. In this line, effective efferocytosis, the clearance of apoptotic cells, plays a crucial role in neuroprotection and immunoregulation. This process involves specialized phagocytes known as "professional phagocytes" and consists of four steps: "Find-Me," "Eat-Me," engulfment/digestion, and anti-inflammatory responses. Impaired efferocytosis can lead to secondary necrosis and inflammation, resulting in adverse outcomes following brain pathologies. Enhancing efferocytosis presents a potential avenue for improving post-stroke recovery. Several therapeutic targets have been identified, including osteopontin, cysteinyl leukotriene 2 receptor, the µ opioid receptor antagonist β-funaltrexamine, and PPARγ and RXR agonists. Ferroptosis, defined as iron-dependent cell death, is now emerging as a novel target to attenuate post-stroke tissue damage and neuronal loss. Additionally, several biomarkers, most importantly CD163, may serve as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for acute ischemic stroke, aiding in stroke diagnosis and prognosis. Non-pharmacological approaches involve physical rehabilitation, hypoxia, and hypothermia. Mitochondrial dysfunction is now recognized as a major contributor to the poor outcomes of brain stroke, and medications targeting mitochondria may exhibit beneficial effects. These strategies aim to polarize efferocytes toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype, limit the ingestion of distressed but viable neurons, and stimulate efferocytosis in the late phase of stroke to enhance post-stroke recovery. These findings highlight promising directions for future research and development of effective stroke recovery therapies.

Abstract
Mitochondria are maternally inherited, but the mechanisms underlying paternal mitochondrial elimination after fertilization are far less clear. Using Drosophila, we show that special egg-derived multivesicular body vesicles promote paternal mitochondrial elimination by activating an LC3-associated phagocytosis-like pathway, a cellular defense pathway commonly employed against invading microbes. Upon fertilization, these egg-derived vesicles form extended vesicular sheaths around the sperm flagellum, promoting degradation of the sperm mitochondrial derivative and plasma membrane. LC3-associated phagocytosis cascade of events, including recruitment of a Rubicon-based class III PI(3)K complex to the flagellum vesicular sheaths, its activation, and consequent recruitment of Atg8/LC3, are all required for paternal mitochondrial elimination. Finally, lysosomes fuse with strings of large vesicles derived from the flagellum vesicular sheaths and contain degrading fragments of the paternal mitochondrial derivative. Given reports showing that in some mammals, the paternal mitochondria are also decorated with Atg8/LC3 and surrounded by multivesicular bodies upon fertilization, our findings suggest that a similar pathway also mediates paternal mitochondrial elimination in other flagellated sperm-producing organisms.

Abstract
Necrosis in solid tumors is commonly associated with poor prognostic but how these lesions expand remains unclear. Studies have found that neutrophils associate with and contribute to necrosis development in glioblastoma by inducing tumor cell ferroptosis through transferring myeloperoxidase-containing granules. However, the mechanism of neutrophilic granule transfer remains elusive. We performed an unbiased small molecule screen and found that statins inhibit neutrophil-induced tumor cell death by blocking the neutrophilic granule transfer. Further, we identified a novel process wherein neutrophils are engulfed by tumor cells before releasing myeloperoxidase-containing contents into tumor cells. This neutrophil engulfment is initiated by integrin-mediated adhesion, and further mediated by LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP), which can be blocked by inhibiting the Vps34-UVRAG-RUBCN-containing PI3K complex. Myeloperoxidase inhibition or Vps34 depletion resulted in reduced necrosis formation and prolonged mouse survival in an orthotopic glioblastoma mouse model. Thus, our study unveils a critical role for LAP-mediated neutrophil internalization in facilitating the transfer of neutrophilic granules, which in turn triggers tumor cell death and necrosis expansion. Targeting this process holds promise for improving glioblastoma prognosis.

EDIL3/Del-1 prevents aortic dissection through enhancing internalization and degradation of apoptotic vascular smooth muscle cells. Autophagy 2024:1-21.

Abstract
Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is a severe disease, characterized by numerous apoptotic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). EDIL3/Del-1 is a secreted protein involved in macrophage efferocytosis in acute inflammation. Here, we aimed to investigate whether EDIL3 promoted the internalization and degradation of apoptotic VSMCs during TAD. The levels of EDIL3 were decreased in the serum and aortic tissue from TAD mice. Global edil3 knockout (edil3-/-) mice and edil3-/- bone marrow chimeric mice exhibited a considerable exacerbation in β-aminopropionitrile monofumarate (BAPN)-induced TAD, accompanied with increased apoptotic VSMCs accumulating in the damaged aortic tissue. Two types of phagocytes, RAW264.7 cells and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were used for in vitro efferocytosis assay. edil3-deficient phagocytes exhibited inefficient internalization and degradation of apoptotic VSMCs. Instead, EDIL3 promoted the internalization phase through interacting with phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) on apoptotic VSMCs and binding to the macrophage ITGAV/αv-ITGB3/β3 integrin. In addition, EDIL3 accelerated the degradation phase through activating LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP). Mechanically, following the engulfment, EDIL3 enhanced the activity of SMPD1/acid sphingomyelinase in the phagosome through blocking ITGAV-ITGB3 integrin, which facilitates phagosomal reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by NAPDH oxidase CYBB/NOX2. Furthermore, exogenous EDIL3 supplementation alleviated BAPN-induced TAD and promoted apoptotic cell clearance. EDIL3 may be a novel factor for the prevention and treatment of TAD.Abbreviations: BAPN: β-aminopropionitrile monofumarate; BMDM: bone marrow-derived macrophage; C12FDG: 5-dodecanoylaminofluorescein-di-β-D-galactopyranoside; CTRL: control; CYBB/NOX2: cytochrome b-245, beta polypeptide; DCFH-DA: 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate; EDIL3/Del-1: EGF-like repeats and discoidin I-like domains 3; EdU: 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine; EVG: elastic van Gieson; H&E: hematoxylin and eosin; IL: interleukin; LAP: LC3-associated phagocytosis; MAP1LC3/LC3: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3; NAC: N-acetylcysteine; PtdSer: phosphatidylserine; rEDIL3: recombinant EDIL3; ROS: reactive oxygen species; SMPD1: sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1; TAD: thoracic aortic dissection; TEM: transmission electron microscopy; VSMC: vascular smooth muscle cell; WT: wild-type.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic inflammation of the synovial joints and the dysfunction of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the peripheral blood. Therefore, an optimal treatment strategy should aim to eliminate the inflammatory response in the joints and simultaneously restore the immune tolerance of Tregs in peripheral blood. Accordingly, we developed an efferocytosis-mimicking nanovesicle that contains three functional factors for immunomodulating of efferocytosis, including "find me" and "eat me" signals for professional (macrophage) or non-professional phagocytes (T lymphocyte), and "apoptotic metabolite" for metabolite digestion. We showed that efferocytosis-mimicking nanovesicles targeted the inflamed joints and spleen of mice with collagen-induced arthritis, further recruiting and selectively binding to macrophages and T lymphocytes to induce M2 macrophage polarization and Treg differentiation and T helper cell 17 (Th17) recession. Under systemic administration, the efferocytosis-mimicking nanovesicles effectively maintained the pro-inflammatory M1/anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage balance in joints and the Treg/Th17 imbalance in peripheral blood to prevent RA progression. This study demonstrates the potential of efferocytosis-mimicking nanovesicles for RA immunotherapy.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive breast cancer subtype and chemotherapy is the cornerstone treatment for TNBC. Regrettably, emerging findings suggest that chemotherapy facilitates pro-metastatic changes in the tumour microenvironment. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been highly implicated in cancer drug resistance and metastasis. However, the effects of the EVs released from dying cancer cells on TNBC prognosis and corresponding therapeutic strategies have been poorly investigated. This study demonstrated that paclitaxel chemotherapy elicited CXCL1-enriched EVs from apoptotic TNBC cells (EV-Apo). EV-Apo promoted the chemoresistance and invasion of co-cultured TNBC cells by polarizing M2 macrophages through activating PD-L1 signalling. However, baohuoside I (BHS) remarkably sensitized the co-cultured TNBC cells to paclitaxel chemotherapy via modulating EV-Apo signalling. Mechanistically, BHS remarkably decreased C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1) cargo within EV-Apo and therefore attenuated macrophage M2 polarization by suppressing PD-L1 activation. Additionally, BHS decreased EV-Apo release by diminishing the biogenesis of intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) within multivesicular bodies (MVBs) of TNBC cells. Furthermore, BHS bound to the LEU104 residue of flotillin 2 (FLOT2) and interrupted its interaction with RAS oncogene family member 31 (RAB31), leading to the blockage of RAB31-FLOT2 complex-driven ILV biogenesis. Importantly, BHS remarkably chemosensitised paclitaxel to inhibit TNBC metastasis in vivo by suppressing EV-ApoCXCL1-induced PD-L1 activation and M2 polarization of tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs). This pioneering study sheds light on EV-ApoCXCL1 as a novel therapeutic target to chemosensitise TNBC, and presents BHS as a promising chemotherapy adjuvant to improve TNBC chemosensitivity and prognosis by disturbing EV-ApoCXCL1 biogenesis.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory vascular disease that occurs in the intima of large and medium-sized arteries with the immune system's involvement. It is a common pathological basis for high morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular diseases. Abnormal proliferation of apoptotic cells and necrotic cells leads to AS plaque expansion, necrotic core formation, and rupture. In the early stage of AS, macrophages exert an efferocytosis effect to engulf and degrade apoptotic, dead, damaged, or senescent cells by efferocytosis, thus enabling the regulation of the organism. In the early stage of AS, macrophages rely on this effect to slow down the process of AS. However, in the advanced stage of AS, the efferocytosis of macrophages within the plaque is impaired, which leads to the inability of macrophages to promptly remove the apoptotic cells (ACs) from the organism promptly, causing exacerbation of AS. Moreover, upregulation of CD47 expression in AS plaques also protects ACs from phagocytosis by macrophages, resulting in a large amount of residual ACs in the plaque, further expanding the necrotic core. In this review, we discussed the molecular mechanisms involved in the process of efferocytosis and how efferocytosis is impaired and regulated during AS, hoping to provide new insights for treating AS.

Trem2 Agonist Reprograms Foamy Macrophages to Promote Atherosclerotic Plaque Stability-Brief Report. Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol 2024; 44:1646-1657. [PMID: 38695172 PMCID: PMC11208052 DOI: 10.1161/atvbaha.124.320797] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Trem2 (triggering receptor on myeloid cells 2), a surface lipid receptor, is expressed on foamy macrophages within atherosclerotic lesions and regulates cell survival, proliferation, and anti-inflammatory responses. Studies examining the role of Trem2 in atherosclerosis have shown that deletion of Trem2 leads to impaired foamy macrophage lipid uptake, proliferation, survival, and cholesterol efflux. Thus, we tested the hypothesis that administration of a Trem2 agonist antibody (AL002a) to atherogenic mice would enhance macrophage survival and decrease necrotic core formation to improve plaque stability. METHODS To model a therapeutic intervention approach, atherosclerosis-prone mice (Ldlr [low-density lipoprotein receptor]-/-) were fed a high-fat diet for 8 weeks, then transitioned to treatment with AL002a or isotype control for an additional 8 weeks while continuing on a high-fat diet. RESULTS AL002a-treated mice had increased lesion size in both the aortic root and whole mount aorta, which correlated with an expansion of plaque macrophage area. This expansion was due to increased macrophage survival and proliferation in plaques. Importantly, plaques from AL002a-treated mice showed improved features of plaque stability, including smaller necrotic cores, increased fibrous caps, and greater collagen deposition. Single-cell RNA sequencing of whole aorta suspensions from isotype- and AL002a-treated atherosclerotic mice revealed that Trem2 agonism dramatically altered foamy macrophage transcriptome. This included upregulation of oxidative phosphorylation and increased expression of collagen genes. In vitro studies validated that Trem2 agonism with AL002a promoted foamy macrophage oxidized low-density lipoprotein uptake, survival, and cholesterol efflux. CONCLUSIONS Trem2 agonism expands atherosclerotic plaque macrophages by promoting cell survival and proliferation but improves features of plaque stability by rewiring foamy macrophage function to enhance cholesterol efflux and collagen deposition.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common tumor. Our group has previously reported that sorcin (SRI) plays an important role in the progression and prognosis of HCC. This study aims to explore the mechanism of SRI inhibiting the mitochondrial apoptosis. Bioinformatics analysis, co-IP and immunofluorescence were used to analyze the relationship between SRI and STAT3. MMP and Hoechst staining were performed to detect the effect of SRI on cell apoptosis. The expression of apoptosis-related proteins and NF-κB signaling pathway were examined by Western blot and immunohistochemistry when SRI overexpression or underexpression in vivo and in vitro were found. Moreover, inhibitors were used to further explore the molecular mechanism. Overexpression of SRI inhibited cell apoptosis, which was attenuated by SRI knockdown in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we identified that STAT3 is an SRI-interacting protein. Mechanistically, SRI interacts with STAT3 and then activates the NF-κB signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo. SRI interacting with STAT3 inhibits apoptosis by the NF-κB pathway and further contributes to the proliferation in HCC, which offers a novel clue and a new potential therapeutic target for HCC.

This review uniquely focuses on efferocytosis-the phagocyte-mediated clearance of apoptotic cells-and its pivotal role in these disorders. We delve into the intricate mechanisms of efferocytosis' four stages and their implications in disease pathogenesis, distinguishing our study from previous literature. Our findings highlight impaired efferocytosis in conditions like atherosclerosis and asthma, proposing its targeting as a novel therapeutic strategy. We discuss the therapeutic potential of efferocytosis in modulating immune responses and resolving inflammation, offering a new perspective in treating inflammatory disorders.

Multiomics integration-based immunological characterizations of adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma in relation to keratinization. Cell Death Dis 2024; 15:439. [PMID: 38906852 PMCID: PMC11192745 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-024-06840-1] [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: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
Although adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP) is a tumour with low histological malignancy, there are very few therapeutic options other than surgery. ACP has high histological complexity, and the unique features of the immunological microenvironment within ACP remain elusive. Further elucidation of the tumour microenvironment is particularly important to expand our knowledge of potential therapeutic targets. Here, we performed integrative analysis of 58,081 nuclei through single-nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics on ACP specimens to characterize the features and intercellular network within the microenvironment. The ACP environment is highly immunosuppressive with low levels of T-cell infiltration/cytotoxicity. Moreover, tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs), which originate from distinct sources, highly infiltrate the microenvironment. Using spatial transcriptomic data, we observed one kind of non-microglial derived TAM that highly expressed GPNMB close to the terminally differentiated epithelial cell characterized by RHCG, and this colocalization was verified by asmFISH. We also found the positive correlation of infiltration between these two cell types in datasets with larger cohort. According to intercellular communication analysis, we report a regulatory network that could facilitate the keratinization of RHCG+ epithelial cells, eventually causing tumour progression. Our findings provide a comprehensive analysis of the ACP immune microenvironment and reveal a potential therapeutic strategy base on interfering with these two types of cells.

[PMID: 38932991 PMCID: PMC11199868 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2024.1420067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Fabry disease, a multisystem X-linked disorder caused by mutations in the alpha-galactosidase gene. This leads to the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and globotriaosylsphingosine (Lyso-Gb3), culminating in various clinical signs and symptoms that significantly impact quality of life. Although treatments such as enzyme replacement, oral chaperone, and emerging therapies like gene therapy exist; delayed diagnosis often curtails their effectiveness. Our review highlights the importance of delineating the stages of inflammation in Fabry disease to enhance the timing and efficacy of diagnosis and interventions, particularly before the progression to fibrosis, where treatment options are less effective. Inflammation is emerging as an important aspect of the pathogenesis of Fabry disease. This is thought to be predominantly mediated by the innate immune response, with growing evidence pointing towards the potential involvement of adaptive immune mechanisms that remain poorly understood. Highlighted by the fact that Fabry disease shares immune profiles with systemic autoinflammatory diseases, blurring the distinctions between these disorders and highlighting the need for a nuanced understanding of immune dynamics. This insight is crucial for developing targeted therapies and improving the administration of current treatments like enzyme replacement. Moreover, our review discusses the complex interplay between these inflammatory processes and current treatments, such as the challenges posed by anti-drug antibodies. These antibodies can attenuate the effectiveness of therapies, necessitating more refined approaches to mitigate their impact. By advancing our understanding of the molecular changes, inflammatory mediators and causative factors that drive inflammation in Fabry disease, we aim to clarify their role in the disease's progression. This improved understanding will help us see how these processes fit into the current landscape of Fabry disease. Additionally, it will guide the development of more effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, ultimately improving patient care.
