Abstract
The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME) of osteosarcoma (OS) poses a significant obstacle to the efficacy of existing immunotherapies. Despite the attempt of novel immune strategies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and tumor vaccines, their effectiveness remains suboptimal due to the inherent difficulty in mitigating ITME simultaneously from both the tumor and immune system. The promotion of anti-tumor immunity through the induction of immunogenic cell death and activation of the cGAS-STING pathway has emerged as potential strategies to counter the ITME and stimulate systemic antitumor immune responses. Here, a bimetallic polyphenol-based nanoplatform (Mn/Fe-Gallate nanoparticles coated with tumor cell membranes is presented, MFG@TCM) which combines with mild photothermal therapy (PTT) for reversing ITME via simultaneously inducing pyroptosis in OS cells and activating the cGAS-STING pathway in dendritic cells (DCs). The immunostimulatory pathways, through the syngeneic effect, exerted a substantial positive impact on promoting the secretion of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and proinflammatory cytokines, which favors remodeling the immune microenvironment. Consequently, effector T cells led to a notable antitumor immune response, effectively inhibiting the growth of both primary and distant tumors. This study proposes a new method for treating OS using mild PTT and immune mudulation, showing promise in overcoming current treatment limitations.

Abstract
Pyroptosis, a lytic form of cell death mediated by the gasdermin family, is characterized by cell swelling and membrane rupture. Inducing pyroptosis in cancer cells can enhance antitumor immune responses and is a promising strategy for cancer therapy. However, excessive pyroptosis may trigger the development of inflammatory diseases due to immoderate and continuous inflammatory reactions. Nanomaterials and nanobiotechnology, renowned for their unique advantages and diverse structures, have garnered increasing attention owing to their potential to induce pyroptosis in diseases such as cancer. A nano-delivery system for drug-induced pyroptosis in cancer cells can overcome the limitations of small molecules. Furthermore, nanomedicines can directly induce and manipulate pyroptosis. This review summarizes and discusses the latest advancements in nanoparticle-based treatments with pyroptosis among inflammatory diseases and cancer, focusing on their functions and mechanisms and providing valuable insights into selecting nanodrugs for pyroptosis. However, the clinical application of these strategies still faces challenges owing to a limited understanding of nanobiological interactions. Finally, future perspectives on the emerging field of pyroptotic nanomaterials are presented.

Abstract
Understanding the interactions of nanoparticle carriers with innate immune cells is crucial for informing the design and efficacy of future nano-immunotherapies. An intriguing aspect of their interaction with the immune system has recently emerged, i.e., their ability to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, a key component of the innate immune response. While the effect of the surface properties of nanoparticles has been extensively investigated in the context of nanoparticle-immune cell interactions, the influence of core composition remains largely unexplored, particularly regarding its impact on inflammasome activation. To shed light on these interactions, we developed a library of supramolecular polymer nanoparticles (SNPs) with different core compositions, varying their hydrophobic quotient by virtue of the side chain length and the repeating units in the polymer construct. The impact of modulating SNP core hydrophobic properties was investigated in macrophages by evaluating their cellular internalization, cytokine release, lysosomal rupture-calcium signaling, calcium flux-mitochondrial ROS production and their ability to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, providing mechanistic insights into inflammasome activation. We established a direct correlation between increasing the side chain length of the polymer construct, thereby increasing the core hydrophobicity of SNPs and enhanced NLRP3 complex formation, as indicated by ASC speck imaging analysis and the elevated 1L-1β expression. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that the inflammasome signaling cascades and kinetics varied based on the SNP's hydrophobic side chain length and repeating units. Specifically, the nanoparticle with the longest alkyl side chain effectuated NLRP3 activation preferentially through the mitochondrial damage pathway. In vivo evaluation of SNPs in C57BL/6 mice confirmed elevated proinflammatory cytokines, notably with the SNP having the longest C12-alkyl side chain. This confirms that the higher core hydrophobicity composition of the SNP results in inflammasome activation in vivo. In summary, this study established SNP core composition as a novel nanoparticle-associated molecular pattern (NAMP) responsible for NLRP3 inflammasome activation, shedding light on intricate cellular pathways for informed nanoparticle design in immunotherapy and vaccine applications.

Abstract
The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor (NLR) family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is pivotal in orchestrating the immune response induced by nanoparticle adjuvants. Understanding the intricate mechanisms underlying the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome by these adjuvants is crucial for deciphering their immunomodulatory properties. This review explores the involvement of the NLRP3 inflammasome in mediating immune responses triggered by nanoparticle adjuvants. It delves into the signaling pathways and cellular mechanisms involved in NLRP3 activation, highlighting its significance in modulating the efficacy and safety of nanoparticle-based adjuvants. A comprehensive grasp of the interplay between NLRP3 inflammasome and nanoparticle adjuvants holds promise for optimizing vaccine design and advancing immunotherapeutic strategies.

Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int 2024; 23:300-309.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) has been linked to the severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) prognosis, although the underlying mechanism remains unclear. It has been reported that pyroptosis worsens SAP. The present study aimed to verify whether mesenteric adipose tissue (MAT, a component of VAT) can cause secondary intestinal injury through the pyroptotic pathway. METHODS Thirty-six male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into six different groups. Twelve rats were randomly divided into the SAP and control groups. We monitored the changes of MAT and B lymphocytes infiltration in MAT of SAP rats. Twelve SAP rats were injected with MAT B lymphocytes or phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The remaining twelve SAP rats were first injected with MAT B lymphocytes, and then with MCC950 (NLRP3 inhibitor) or PBS. We collected blood and tissue samples from pancreas, gut and MAT for analysis. RESULTS Compared to the control rats, the SAP group showed inflammation in MAT, including higher expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), lower expression of IL-10, and histological changes. Flow cytometry analysis revealed B lymphocytes infiltration in MAT but not T lymphocytes and macrophages. The SAP rats also exhibited intestinal injury, characterized by lower expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and occludin, higher levels of lipopolysaccharide and diamine oxidase, and pathological changes. The expression of NLRP3 and n-GSDMD, which are responsible for pyroptosis, was increased in the intestine of SAP rats. The injection of MAT B lymphocytes into SAP rats exacerbated the inflammation in MAT. The upregulation of pyroptosis reduced tight junction in the intestine, which contributed to the SAP progression, including higher inflammatory indicators and worse histological changes. The administration of MCC950 to SAP + MAT B rats downregulated pyroptosis, which subsequently improved the intestinal barrier and ameliorated inflammatory response of SAP. CONCLUSIONS In SAP, MAT B lymphocytes aggravated local inflammation, and promoted the injury to the intestine through the enteric pyroptotic pathway.

Peptide-Driven Proton Sponge Nano-Assembly for Imaging and Triggering Lysosome-Regulated Immunogenic Cancer Cell Death. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2307679.

Abstract
Triggering lysosome-regulated immunogenic cell death (ICD, e.g., pyroptosis and necroptosis) with nanomedicines is an emerging approach for turning an "immune-cold" tumor "hot"-a key challenge faced by cancer immunotherapies. Proton sponge such as high-molecular-weight branched polyethylenimine (PEI) is excellent at rupturing lysosomes, but its therapeutic application is hindered by uncontrollable toxicity due to fixed charge density and poor understanding of resulted cell death mechanism. Here, a series of proton sponge nano-assemblies (PSNAs) with self-assembly controllable surface charge density and cell cytotoxicity are created. Such PSNAs are constructed via low-molecular-weight branched PEI covalently bound to self-assembling peptides carrying tetraphenylethene pyridinium (PyTPE, an aggregation-induced emission-based luminogen). Assembly of PEI assisted by the self-assembling peptide-PyTPE leads to enhanced surface positive charges and cell cytotoxicity of PSNA. The self-assembly tendency of PSNAs is further optimized by tuning hydrophilic and hydrophobic components within the peptide, thus resulting in the PSNA with the highest fluorescence, positive surface charge density, cell uptake, and cancer cell cytotoxicity. Systematic cell death mechanistic studies reveal that the lysosome rupturing-regulated pyroptosis and necroptosis are at least two causes of cell death. Tumor cells undergoing PSNA-triggered ICD activate immune cells, suggesting the great potential of PSNAs to trigger anticancer immunity.

Abstract
In recent years, carbon nanotubes have emerged as a widely used nanomaterial, but their human exposure has become a significant concern. In our former study, we reported that pulmonary exposure of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) promoted tumor metastasis of breast cancer; macrophages were key effectors of MWCNTs and contributed to the metastasis-promoting procedure in breast cancer, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be explored. As a follow-up study, we herein demonstrated that MWCNT exposure in breast cancer cells and macrophage coculture systems promoted metastasis of breast cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo; macrophages were skewed into M2 polarization by MWCNT exposure. LncRNA NBR2 was screened out to be significantly decreased in MWCNTs-stimulated macrophages through RNA-seq; depletion of NBR2 led to the acquisition of M2 phenotypes in macrophages by activating multiple M2-related pathways. Specifically, NBR2 was found to positively regulate the downstream gene TBX1 through H3k27ac activation. TBX1 silence rescued NBR2-induced impairment of M2 polarization in IL-4 & IL-13-stimulated macrophages. Moreover, NBR2 overexpression mitigated the enhancing effects of MWCNT-exposed macrophages on breast cancer metastasis. This study uncovered the molecular mechanisms underlying breast cancer metastasis induced by MWCNT exposure.

Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) show great potential for their application as cancer therapeutic nanodrugs, but the efficiency and mechanism of their accumulation in the cell, the modulation of cell activity, and the strong dependence of the results on the type of capping molecule still hinder the transfer of SWCNTs to the clinic. In the present study, we determined the mechanism and sequence of accumulation, distribution and type discrimination of SWCNTs in glioma cells by applying K-means clustering and principal component analysis (PCA) of Raman spectra of cells exposed to SWCNTs capped with either DNA or oligonucleotides (ON). Based on the specific biochemical information uncovered by PCA and further applied to K-means, we show that the accumulation of SWCNT-DNA occurs in two phases. The first phase involves the transport of SWCNT-DNA through vesicles and its redistribution in the cytoplasm, which is reflected in two SWCNT-related clusters. The second phase begins after 18 hours of interaction between cells and SWCNT-DNA. PCA shows the appearance of two SWCNT-associated PC loadings, reflected by the addition of a new cluster of SWCNTs with a narrowed and shifted G-peak in the spectra. It is caused by the loss of DNA capping and clumping of SWCNTs and triggered by the acidic conditions in autolysosomes resulting from the fusion of transport vesicles with lysosomes. SWCNTs penetrate all cellular compartments after 42-66 hours and lead to cell death. The clumped SWCNTs are released to the outside. In contrast, SWCNT-ON is hardly accumulated in glioma cells and after 72 hours of exposure to SWCNT-ON, the accumulation of SWCNTs corresponds to the first stage without reaching the second. PCA made it possible to separate the characteristics of cellular components against the high-intensity Raman signal from nanotubes and, thus, to propose the mechanism of accumulation and metabolism of nanomaterials in living cells without the use of additional research approaches. Our results elucidate the time dependence of the accumulation of SWCNTs on the capping molecule. We expect that our results can make an important contribution to the use of these nanomaterials in the clinic.

Abstract
Traditional tumour-dynamic therapy still inevitably faces the critical challenge of limited reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating efficiency due to tumour hypoxia, extreme pH condition for Fenton reaction, and unsustainable mono-catalytic reaction. To fight against these issues, we skilfully develop a tumour-microenvironment-driven yolk-shell nanoreactor to realize the high-efficiency persistent dynamic therapy via cascade-responsive dual cycling amplification of •SO4 -/•OH radicals. The nanoreactor with an ultrahigh payload of free radical initiator is designed by encapsulating the Na2S2O8 nanocrystals into hollow tetra-sulphide-introduced mesoporous silica (HTSMS) and afterward enclosed by epigallocatechin gallate (EG)-Fe(II) cross-linking. Within the tumour microenvironment, the intracellular glutathione (GSH) can trigger the tetra-sulphide cleavage of nanoreactors to explosively release Na+/S2O8 2 - /Fe2+ and EG. Then a sequence of cascade reactions will be activated to efficiently generate •SO4 - (Fe2+-catalyzed S2O8 2 - oxidation), proton (•SO4 --catalyzed H2O decomposition), and •OH (proton-intensified Fenton oxidation). Synchronously, the oxidation-generated Fe3+ will be in turn recovered into Fe2+ by excessive EG to circularly amplify •SO4 -/•OH radicals. The nanoreactors can also disrupt the intracellular osmolarity homeostasis by Na+ overload and weaken the ROS-scavenging systems by GSH exhaustion to further amplify oxidative stress. Our yolk-shell nanoreactors can efficiently eradicate tumours via multiple oxidative stress amplification, which will provide a perspective to explore dynamic therapy.

Abstract
Pyroptosis mediated by gasdermin protein has shown great potential in cancer immunotherapies. However, the low expression of gasdermin proteins and the systemic toxicity of nonspecific pyroptosis limit its clinical application. Here, we designed a synthetic biology strategy to construct a tumor-specific pyroptosis-inducing nanoplatform M-CNP/Mn@pPHS, in which a pyroptosis-inducing plasmid (pPHS) was loaded onto a manganese (Mn)-doped calcium carbonate nanoparticle and wrapped in a tumor-derived cell membrane. M-CNP/Mn@pPHS showed an efficient tumor targeting ability. After its internalization by tumor cells, the degradation of M-CNP/Mn@pPHS in the acidic endosomal environment allowed the efficient endosomal escape of plasmid pPHS. To trigger tumor-specific pyroptosis, pPHS was designed according to the logic "AND gate circuit" strategy, with Hif-1α and Sox4 as two input signals and gasdermin D induced pyroptosis as output signal. Only in cells with high expression of Hif-1α and Sox4 simultaneously will the output signal gasdermin D be expressed. Since Hif-1α and Sox4 are both specifically expressed in tumor cells, M-CNP/Mn@pPHS induces the tumor-specific expression of gasdermin D and thus pyroptosis, triggering an efficient immune response with little systemic toxicity. The Mn2+ released from the nanoplatform further enhanced the antitumor immune response by stimulating the cGAS-STING pathway. Thus, M-CNP/Mn@pPHS efficiently inhibited tumor growth with 79.8% tumor regression in vivo. We demonstrate that this logic "AND gate circuit"-based gasdermin nanoplatform is a promising strategy for inducing tumor-specific pyroptosis with little systemic toxicity.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) are nanoparticles (NPs) with potential applications in the biomedical field. When in contact with biological fluids, most NPs are covered by a protein corona. As well, upon cell entry, most NP are sequestered in the lysosome. However, the interplay between the lysosome, the protein corona and the biological effects of NPs is still poorly understood. In this context, we investigated the role of the lysosome in the toxicological responses evoked by four cationic CDs exhibiting protonatable or non-protonatable amine groups at their surface, and the associated changes in the CD protein corona. The four CDs accumulated in the lysosome and led to lysosomal swelling, loss lysosome integrity, cathepsin B activation, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and cell death by pyroptosis in a human macrophage model, but with a stronger effect for CDs with titratable amino groups. The protein corona formed around CDs in contact with serum partially dissociated under lysosomal conditions with subsequent protein rearrangement, as assessed by quantitative proteomic analysis. The residual protein corona still contained binding proteins, catalytic proteins, and proteins involved in the proteasome, glycolysis, or PI3k-Akt KEGG pathways, but with again a more pronounced effect for CDs with titratable amino groups. These results demonstrate an interplay between lysosome, protein corona and biological effects of cationic NPs in link with the titratability of NP surface charges.

Abstract
Biomaterials are omnipresent in today's healthcare services and are employed in various applications, including implants, sensors, healthcare accessories, and drug delivery systems. Unfavorable host immunological responses frequently jeopardize the efficacy of biomaterials. As a result, surface modification has received much attention in controlling inflammatory responses since it helps camouflage the biomaterial from the host immune system, influencing the foreign body response (FBR) from protein adsorption to fibrous capsule formation. Surfaces with controlled nanotopography and chemistry, among other surface modification methodologies, have effectively altered the immune response to biomaterials. However, the field is still in its early stages, with only a few studies showing a synergistic effect of surface chemistry and nanotopography on inflammatory and wound healing pathways. Therefore, this review will concentrate on the individual and synergistic effects of surface chemistry and nanotopography on FBR modulation and the molecular processes known to modulate these responses. This review will also provide insights into crucial research gaps and advancements in various tactics for modulating FBR, opening new paths for future research. This will further aid in improving our understanding of the immune response to biomaterials, developing advanced surface modification techniques, designing immunomodulatory biomaterials, and translating discoveries into clinical applications.

Abstract
Biological barriers protect delicate internal tissues from exposures to and interactions with hazardous materials. Primary anatomical barriers prevent external agents from reaching systemic circulation and include the pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and dermal barriers. Secondary barriers include the blood-brain, blood-testis, and placental barriers. The tissues protected by secondary barriers are particularly sensitive to agents in systemic circulation. Neurons of the brain cannot regenerate and therefore must have limited interaction with cytotoxic agents. In the testis, the delicate process of spermatogenesis requires a specific milieu distinct from the blood. The placenta protects the developing fetus from compounds in the maternal circulation that would impair limb or organ development. Many biological barriers are semi-permeable, allowing only materials or chemicals, with a specific set of properties, that easily pass through or between cells. Nanoparticles (particles less than 100 nm) have recently drawn specific concern due to the possibility of biological barrier translocation and contact with distal tissues. Current evidence suggests that nanoparticles translocate across both primary and secondary barriers. It is known that the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles can affect biological interactions, and it has been shown that nanoparticles can breach primary and some secondary barriers. However, the mechanism by which nanoparticles cross biological barriers has yet to be determined. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to summarize how different nanoparticle physicochemical properties interact with biological barriers and barrier products to govern translocation.

Abstract
Programmed cell death has crucial roles in the physiological maturation of an organism, the maintenance of metabolism, and disease progression. Pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death which has recently received much attention, is closely related to inflammation and occurs via canonical, non-canonical, caspase-3-dependent, and unclassified pathways. The pore-forming gasdermin proteins mediate pyroptosis by promoting cell lysis, contributing to the outflow of large amounts of inflammatory cytokines and cellular contents. Although the inflammatory response is critical for the body's defense against pathogens, uncontrolled inflammation can cause tissue damage and is a vital factor in the occurrence and progression of various diseases. In this review, we briefly summarize the major signaling pathways of pyroptosis and discuss current research on the pathological function of pyroptosis in autoinflammatory diseases and sterile inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
AIMS Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a well-known agent to induce septic conditions. Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy has an overwhelming death rate. Carvacrol (CVL), a monoterpene phenol, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The research aimed to investigate the effect of CVL on LPS-induced dysfunction in the heart. In this study, we evaluated the effect of CVL in LPS-stimulated H9c2 cardiomyoblast cells and Balb/c mice. MAIN METHODS LPS was used to induce septic conditions in H9c2 cardiomyoblast cells in vitro and in Balb/C mice. A survival study was conducted to assess the survival rate of mice after LPS and/or CVL treatment. KEY FINDINGS In vitro studies indicated that CVL inhibits reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and abates pyroptosis mediated by NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in H9c2 cells. In mice, CVL intervention improved the survival rate in septic conditions. The CVL administration markedly improved the echocardiographic parameters and alleviated the LPS-induced reduction in the ejection fraction (%) and fraction shortening (%). The CVL intervention restored the myocardial antioxidants and histopathological alterations and decreased the pro-inflammatory cytokine contents in the heart. Further findings disclosed that CVL reduced the protein levels of NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC), caspase 1, interleukin (IL)-18, IL-1β, and the pyroptosis-indicative protein, gasdermin-D (GSDMD) in the heart. The autophagy-indicative proteins, beclin 1, and p62, in the heart were also restored in the CVL-treated group. SIGNIFICANCE Altogether, our findings demonstrated that CVL has a beneficial effect and can be a potential molecule against sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction.

Abstract
There are many benefits to drug delivery from drug-carrier nanostructure systems. It might be developed to carefully control drug release rates or to deliver a precise amount of a therapeutic substance to particular body areas. Self-assembling is the process by which molecules and nanoparticles spontaneously organize into organized clusters. For instance, proteins and peptides can interact with one another to create highly organized supramolecular structures with various properties, such as helical ribbons and fibrous scaffolds. Another advantage of self-assembly is that it may be effective with a variety of materials, including metals, oxides, inorganic salts, polymers, semiconductors, and even organic semiconductors. Fullerene, graphene, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), three of the most fundamental classes of three-dimensionally self-assembling nanostructured carbon-based materials, are essential for the development of modern nanotechnologies. Self-assembled nanomaterials are used in a variety of fields, including nanotechnology, imaging, and biosensors. This review study begins with a summary of various major 3D nanomaterials, including graphene oxide, CNTs, and nanodiamond, as well as 3D self-assembled polyfunctionalized nanostructures and adaptable nanocarriers for drug delivery.

Abstract
In recent years, the use of carbon fibers (CFs) in various sectors of industry has been increasing. Despite the similarity of CF degradation products to other toxicologically relevant materials such as asbestos fibers and carbon nanotubes, a detailed toxicological evaluation of this class of material has yet to be performed. In this work, we exposed advanced air-liquid interface cell culture models of the human lung to CF. To simulate different stresses applied to CF throughout their life cycle, they were either mechanically (mCF) or thermo-mechanically pre-treated (tmCF). Different aspects of inhalation toxicity as well as their possible time-dependency were monitored. mCFs were found to induce a moderate inflammatory response, whereas tmCF elicited stronger inflammatory as well as apoptotic effects. Furthermore, thermal treatment changed the surface properties of the CF resulting in a presumed adhesion of the cells to the fiber fragments and subsequent cell loss. Triple-cultures encompassing epithelial, macrophage, and fibroblast cells stood out with an exceptionally high inflammatory response. Only a weak genotoxic effect was detected in the form of DNA strand breaks in mono- and co-cultures, with triple-cultures presenting a possible secondary genotoxicity. This work establishes CF fragments as a potentially harmful material and emphasizes the necessity of further toxicological assessment of existing and upcoming advanced CF-containing materials.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have been widely used in the fields of daily necessities, clinical diagnosis, drug delivery and agricultural production. The improper use of ZnO NPs could pose a risk to ecological environment and public health. Liver has been known as a critical toxic target of ZnO NPs. However, the question whether ZnO NPs lead to hepatocyte death through pyroptosis has not been answered yet, and the effect of oxidative stress on ZnO NPs-induced pyroptosis remains a mystery. We revealed that ZnO NPs disrupted zinc homeostasis and induced oxidative stress impairment in rat liver. Meanwhile, ZnO NPs triggered the assembly of NLRP3-ASC-Caspase-1 inflammatory complex and pyroptosis in both rat liver and HepG2 cells, further causing the activation of GSDMD, promoting the leakage of inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β and IL-18. Importantly, the inhibition of oxidative stress was found to provide protection against pyroptosis in hepatocyte exposed to ZnO NPs. We identified a novel mechanism of liver damage induced by ZnO NPs, demonstrating the activation of canonical Caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis pathway and clarifying the protection of antioxidation against pyroptosis damage. Our discovery provided a support for risk assessment of ZnO NPs and target exploration for clinical treatment related to pyroptosis.

Liu L, Shi Q, Wang K, Qian Y, Zhou L, Bellusci S, Chen C, Dong N. Fibroblast growth factor 10 protects against particulate matter-induced lung injury by inhibiting oxidative stress-mediated pyroptosis via the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 signaling pathway. Int Immunopharmacol 2022; 113:109398. [PMID: 36461597 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2022.109398] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Particulate matter (PM) is a major environmental contaminant that causes and worsens respiratory diseases. Fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10), a paracrine fibroblast growth factor that specifically stimulates repair and regeneration after injury, has been shown to protect against PM-induced lung injury. However, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. In this study, the protective effects of FGF10 were investigated using a PM-induced lung injury mouse model in vivo and BEAS-2B cells in vitro. According to the findings, FGF10 treatment alleviated PM-induced oxidative damage and pyroptosis in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, FGF10 activated antioxidative Nrf2 signaling. Inhibition of PI3K signaling with LY294002 or Nrf2 signaling with ML385 revealed that FGF10-mediated lung protection was mediated by the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 pathway. These results collectively indicate that FGF10 inhibits oxidative stress-mediated pyroptosis via the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 pathway, suggesting a possible therapy for PM-induced lung injury.

Abstract
The terrible morbidity and mortality of malignant tumors urgently require innovative therapeutics, especially for apoptosis-resistant tumors. Pyroptosis, a pro-inflammatory form of programmed cell death (PCD), is featured with pore formation in plasma membrane, cell swelling with giant bubbles, and leakage of cytoplasmic pro-inflammatory cytokines, which can remodel the tumor immune microenvironment by stimulating a "cold" tumor microenvironment to be an immunogenic "hot" tumor microenvironment, and consequently augment the therapeutic efficiency of malignant tumors. Benefiting from current advances in nanotechnology, nanomedicine is extensively applied to potentiate, enable, and augment pyroptosis for enhancing cancer-therapeutic efficacy and specificity. This review provides a concentrated summary and discussion of the most recent progress achieved in this emerging field, highlighting the nanomedicine-enabled/augmented specific pyroptosis strategy for favoring the construction of next-generation nanomedicines to efficiently induce PCD. It is highly expected that the further clinical translation of nanomedicine can be accelerated by inducing pyroptotic cell death based on bioactive nanomedicines.

Abstract
With the advancement of nanotechnology, the use of nanoparticles (NPs) and nanomaterials (NMs) in agriculture including perishable vegetable crops cultivation has been increased significantly. NPs/NMs positively affect plant growth and development, seed germination, plant stress management, and postharvest handling of fruits and vegetables. However, these NPs sometimes cause toxicity in plants by oxidative stress and excess reactive oxygen species production that affect cellular biomolecules resulting in imbalanced biological and metabolic processes in plants. Therefore, information about the mechanism underlying interactions of NPs with plants is important for the understanding of various physiological and biochemical responses of plants, evaluating phytotoxicity, and developing mitigation strategies for vegetable crops cultivation. To address this, recent morpho-physiological, biochemical and molecular insights of nanotoxicity in the vegetable crops have been discussed in this review. Further, factors affecting the nanotoxicity in vegetables and mitigation strategies for sustainable cultivation have been reviewed. Moreover, the bioaccumulation and biomagnification of NPs and associated phytotoxicity can cause serious effects on human health which has also been summarized. The review also highlights the use of advanced omics approaches and interdisciplinary tools for understanding the nanotoxicity and their possible use for mitigating phytotoxicity.

Abstract
In recent years, the wide application of nanoparticles (NPs) inevitably leads to environmental pollution and human exposure, and its safety has attracted more and more attention. Since macrophages are the cells most directly exposed to multi-pathway invading NPs in the body, it is necessary to assess of toxic effects of NPs in macrophages, clarify the potential mechanisms of NPs toxicity to improve our understanding about the interaction of NPs with macrophages in vivo, and avoid body damage. Currently, studies on the toxicity of NPs to macrophages are rare and mainly focused on in vitro, so this paper integrated the toxic effect of macrophages exposed to NPs and the macrophages cellular changes following the interaction with NPs, including NPs internalization, ROS production, cytokines alterations, DNA damage and cell death, and further explored the involved mechanisms. This review aims to provide some insights into the further toxicological studies of NPs.

Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials, including carbon dots (CDs), form a growing family of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) with widespread applications. As the rapid expansion of nanotechnologies raises safety concerns, interaction of NPs with the immune system is receiving a lot of attention. Recent studies have reported that engineered NPs may induce macrophage death by pyroptosis. Therefore, this study investigated whether cationic CDs induce pyroptosis in human macrophages and assessed the role of inflammasome and lysosome in this process. Cationic CDs were synthetized by microwave-assisted pyrolysis of citric acid and high molecular weight branched polyethyleneimine. The NPs evoked a dose-dependent viability loss in THP-1-derived macrophages. A cell leakage, an increase in IL-1β secretion and an activation of caspase-1 were also observed in response to the NPs. Inhibition of caspase-1 decreased CD-induced cell leakage and IL-1β secretion, while restoring cell viability. Besides, CDs triggered swelling and loss of integrity of lysosome, and inhibition of the lysosomal enzyme cathepsin B decreased CD-induced IL-1β secretion. Thus, our data provide evidence that cationic CDs induce inflammasome-dependent pyroptosis in macrophages via lysosomal dysfunction.

Abstract
The present study investigates the effect of different dietary protein levels suboptimum level (25%) and optimum level (35%), different Zn forms bulk zinc oxide (BZnO) or nanoparticles zinc oxide (NZnO), and their interaction on performance, intestinal topography, hematology, serum biochemical, antioxidant-immune responses, and related gene expression of Nile tilapia. Six experimental diets were formulated to contain approximately 25% and 35% crude protein and supplemented with Zn forms with 0 (normal level in ingredients), 60 mg kg-1 BZnO and 60 mg kg-1 nanoparticles of NZnO. Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, fingerlings (7.53 ± 0. 06 g) were fed on one of tested diets in triplicates with 5% of total biomass three times a day for 84 days. Results showed that, fish fed diet containing 35% crude protein and supplemented with NZnO form recorded the highest final body weight (FBW), weight gain (WG), and specific growth rate (SGR). However, no significant (P > 0.05) differences were recorded in FBW, WG, SGR, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and protein efficiency ratio (PER) between fish fed diet containing 35% crude protein without Zn supplementation and fish fed diet containing 25% crude protein supplemented with NZnO form. Either fish fed diet containing 25% or 35% crude protein and supplemented with NZnO exhibited the highest values of villi height/width. The highest absorption surface area (ASA) was obtained in fish fed diet containing 25% or 35% crude protein and supplemented with BZnO. Hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), and red blood cell count (RBCs) highest values were obtained for fish fed diet containing protein level 35% supplemented with NZnO. Fish fed diet containing protein level 35% and supplemented with NZnO had the lowest value of alanine amino transferase (ALT) and aspartate amino transferase (AST). The highest globulin value was recorded for fish provided with diet containing 35% crude protein and supplemented with BZnO followed by those fed diet containing 35% crude protein and supplemented with NZnO. Fish fed diet containing protein level 25% with NZnO supplementation recorded the highest super oxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX), with decreasing malondialdehyde (MAD) values. The highest values of immunoglobulin g (IgG), immunoglobulin M (IgM), complement 4 (C4), and complement 3 (C3) were obtained for diet containing 35% crude protein and supplemented with NZnO form. Growth hormone gene (GH) was upregulated in fish fed 25% dietary protein without Zn supplementation, while it was downregulated in fish fed 25% dietary protein and supplemented with NZnO. Transcription of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I) gene recorded the highest value for fish fed 35% crude protein and supplemented with BZnO. This is although the diet of 35% crude protein + NZnO induced significant (IGF-I) gene expression compared with 25% crude protein with or without BZnO. Therefore, nano zinc is useful as a feed supplement for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a gasdermin-mediated programmed necrosis that occurs via membrane perforation and that can be exploited for biomedical applications in cancer therapy. However, inducing specific pyroptotic cancer cell death while sparing normal cells is challenging. Here, we report an acid-activatable nanophotosensitizer library that can be used to spatiotemporally target distinct stages of endosomal maturation, enabling tunable cellular pyroptosis. Specific activation of phospholipase C signalling transduction in early endosomes triggers gasdermin-E-mediated pyroptosis, which is dramatically reduced when acid-activatable nanophotosensitizers are transported into late endosomes/lysosomes. This nanotuner platform induces pyroptotic cell death with up to 40-fold tunability in various gasdermin-E-positive human cancers, resulting in enhanced anti-tumour efficacy and minimized systemic side effects. This study offers new insights into how to engineer nanomedicines with tunable pyroptosis activity through specific targeting of distinct endocytic signalling for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Biomedical applications of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) may be limited by their toxicological effects. Although surface-modified AuNPs can induce apoptosis, less is known about whether they can induce other types of cell death. Pyroptosis, an inflammatory type of programmed cell death, can be induced in immune cells, especially macrophages, by bacterial endotoxins. Therefore, in this study, dendronized AuNPs were combined with bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) as the main stimulators of pro-inflammatory responses to test the induction of pyroptosis in THP-1 myeloid cell line. These AuNPs induced caspase-1 activity (3-4 times more compared to control) and enhanced the release of interleukin (IL)-18 and IL-1β without inducing gasdermin D cleavage and related pore formation. The production of pro-inflammatory cytokines occurred mainly visible during LPS treatment, although their secretion was observed only after administration of dendronized AuNPs (release of IL-1β to supernatant up to 80 pg/mL). These findings suggest that dendronized AuNPs can induce pyroptosis-like inflammatory mechanisms and that these mechanisms are enhanced in the presence of bacterial LPS. The intensity of this effect was dependent on AuNP surface modification. These results shed new light on the cytotoxicity of metal NPs, including immune responses, indicating that surface modifications play crucial roles in their nanotoxicological effects.

Abstract
Pyroptosis defines a new type of GSDMs-mediated programmed cell death, distinguishes from the classical concepts of apoptosis and necrosis-mediated cell death and is prescribed by cell swelling and membrane denaturation, leading to the extensive secretion of cellular components and low-grade inflammatory response. However, NLRP3 inflammasome activation can trigger its downstream inflammatory cytokines, leading to the activation of pyroptosis-regulated cell death. Current studies reveal that activation of caspase-4/5/11-driven non-canonical inflammasome signaling pathways facilitates the pathogenesis and progression of acute pancreatitis (AP). In addition, a large number of studies have reported that NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent pyroptosis is a crucial player in driving the course of the pathogenesis of AP. Excessive uncontrolled GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis has been implicated in AP. Therefore, the pyroptosis-related molecule GSDMD may be an independent prognostic biomarker for AP. The present review paper summarizes the molecular mechanisms of pyroptotic signaling pathways and their pathophysiological impacts on the progress of AP. Moreover, we briefly present some experimental compounds targeting pyroptosis-regulated cell death for exploring novel therapeutic directions for the treatment and management of AP. Our review investigations strongly suggest that targeting pyroptosis could be an ideal therapeutic approach in AP.

Abstract
Immune cells stand as a critical component of the immune system to maintain the internal environment homeostasis. The dysfunction of immune cells can result in various life-threatening diseases, including refractory infection, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Therefore, strategies to standardize or even enhance the function of immune cells are critical. Recently, nanotechnology has been highly researched and extensively applied for enhancing the cytoplasmic delivery of bioactive molecules to immune cells, providing efficient approaches to correct in vivo and in vitro dysfunction of immune cells. This review focuses on the technologies and challenges involved in improving endo-lysosomal escape, cytoplasmic release and organelle targeted delivery of different bioactive molecules in immune cells. Furthermore, it will elaborate on the broader vision of applying nanotechnology for treating immune cell-related diseases and constructing immune therapies and cytopharmaceuticals as potential treatments for diseases.

Abstract
Ion-interference therapy, which utilizes ions to disturb intracellular biological processes, provides inspiration for tumor therapy. Artificially reversing osmotic pressure by transporting large amounts of physiological ions to tumor cells is a straightforward yet low-toxic strategy for ion-interference therapy. However, it is hard to achieve due to the serious limitations of single-ion delivery. Herein, we skillfully deliver NaCl nanocrystals to tumor sites and sequentially realize the explosive release of Na+/Cl- inside tumor cells by utilizing a virus-mimicking and glutathione (GSH)-responsive hollow mesoporous tetrasulfide-bridged organosilica (ssss-VHMS). Once the ssss-VHMS-wrapped NaCl nanocrystals (NaCl@ssss-VHMS) accumulate in the tumors, they would rapidly invade tumor cells via spike surface-assisted endocytosis, thus bypassing Na+/K+-ATPase transmembrane ion transporters. Afterward, the intracellular overproduced GSH of tumor cells would trigger the rapid degradation of ssss-VHMS via thiol-tetrasulfide exchange, which could not only remarkably deplete the GSH but also explosively release the Na+/Cl-, leading to the osmolarity surge accompanied by reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. The cell swelling, ROS storm, and GSH exhaustion of NaCl@ssss-VHMS effectively eradicated tumor cells by caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis, caspase-3-dependent apoptosis, and GPX4-dependent ferroptosis, respectively, thus synergistically inhibiting tumor growth. We believe that NaCl@ssss-VHMS would be a potential cancer therapeutic agent, and this discovery could provide a perspective for exploring synergistic ion-interference therapy.

Abstract
Chronic heart failure is the end stage of cardiac diseases. With a high prevalence and a high mortality rate worldwide, chronic heart failure is one of the heaviest health-related burdens. In addition to the standard neurohormonal blockade therapy, several medications have been developed for chronic heart failure treatment, but the population-wide improvement in chronic heart failure prognosis over time has been modest, and novel therapies are still needed. Mechanistic discovery and technical innovation are powerful driving forces for therapeutic development. On the one hand, the past decades have witnessed great progress in understanding the mechanism of chronic heart failure. It is now known that chronic heart failure is not only a matter involving cardiomyocytes. Instead, chronic heart failure involves numerous signaling pathways in noncardiomyocytes, including fibroblasts, immune cells, vascular cells, and lymphatic endothelial cells, and crosstalk among these cells. The complex regulatory network includes protein-protein, protein-RNA, and RNA-RNA interactions. These achievements in mechanistic studies provide novel insights for future therapeutic targets. On the other hand, with the development of modern biological techniques, targeting a protein pharmacologically is no longer the sole option for treating chronic heart failure. Gene therapy can directly manipulate the expression level of genes; gene editing techniques provide hope for curing hereditary cardiomyopathy; cell therapy aims to replace dysfunctional cardiomyocytes; and xenotransplantation may solve the problem of donor heart shortages. In this paper, we reviewed these two aspects in the field of failing heart signaling cascades and emerging therapeutic strategies based on modern biological techniques.

Abstract
Simple Summary Apoptosis is the goal of several therapeutic strategies for cancer. However, the apoptotic pathway is not always functional in many cancers and thus, alternative ways to destroy cancer cells are required. In this context, we investigated whether nanoparticles composed of a gold and silver alloy (AgAu NPs) can induce other programmed cell death pathways. These include necroptosis and pyroptosis, while their effects on the release of molecules that serve as danger signals, the damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) were also investigated. Our findings suggest that MDA-MB-231 cells, one of the cancer cell lines tested, experience mixed cell death (several cell death pathways are activated), while a second cell line, HCT116 cells, releases DAMPS. This is important, since necroptosis and pyroptosis have promising anticancer effects, while DAMPs trigger inflammation and current knowledge suggests a rather beneficial role in cancer. Abstract Apoptosis induction is a common therapeutic approach. However, many cancer cells are resistant to apoptotic death and alternative cell death pathways including pyroptosis and necroptosis need to be triggered. At the same time, danger signals that include HMGB1 and HSP70 can be secreted/released by damaged cancer cells that boost antitumor immunity. We studied the cytotoxic effects of AgAu NPs, Ag NPs and Au NPs with regard to the programmed cell death (apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis) and the secretion/release of HSP70 and HMGB1. Cancer cell lines were incubated with 30, 40 and 50 μg/mL of AgAu NPs, Ag NPs and Au NPs. Cytotoxicity was estimated using the MTS assay, and mRNA fold change of CASP1, CASP3, BCL-2, ZPB1, HMGB1, HSP70, CXCL8, CSF1, CCL20, NLRP3, IL-1β and IL-18 was used to investigate the associated programmed cell death. Extracellular levels of HMGB1 and IL-1β were investigated using the ELISA technique. The nanoparticles showed a dose dependent toxicity. Pyroptosis was triggered for LNCaP and MDA-MB-231 cells, and necroptosis for MDA-MB-231 cells. HCT116 cells experience apoptotic death and show increased levels of extracellular HMGB1. Our results suggest that in a manner dependent of the cellular microenvironment, AgAu NPs trigger mixed programmed cell death in P53 deficient MDA-MB-231 cells, while they also trigger IL-1β release in MDA-MB-231 and LNCaP cells and release of HMGB1 in HCT116 cells.

Abstract
The immune system is involved in the initiation and progression of cancer. Research on cancer and immunity has contributed to the development of several clinically successful immunotherapies. These immunotherapies often act on a single step of the cancer–immunity cycle. In recent years, the discovery of new nanomaterials has dramatically expanded the functions and potential applications of nanomaterials. In addition to acting as drug-delivery platforms, some nanomaterials can induce the immunogenic cell death (ICD) of cancer cells or regulate the profile and strength of the immune response as immunomodulators. Based on their versatility, nanomaterials may serve as an integrated platform for multiple drugs or therapeutic strategies, simultaneously targeting several steps of the cancer–immunity cycle to enhance the outcome of anticancer immune response. To illustrate the critical roles of nanomaterials in cancer immunotherapies based on cancer–immunity cycle, this review will comprehensively describe the crosstalk between the immune system and cancer, and the current applications of nanomaterials, including drug carriers, ICD inducers, and immunomodulators. Moreover, this review will provide a detailed discussion of the knowledge regarding developing combinational cancer immunotherapies based on the cancer–immunity cycle, hoping to maximize the efficacy of these treatments assisted by nanomaterials.

Abstract
Oxidation of engineered nanomaterials during application in various industrial sectors can alter their toxicity. Oxidized nanomaterials also have widespread industrial and biomedical applications. In this study, we evaluated the cardiopulmonary hazard posed by these nanomaterials using oxidized carbon black (CB) nanoparticles (CBox) as a model particle. Particle surface chemistry was characterized by X-ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Colloidal characterization and in vitro dosimetry modeling (particle kinetics, fate and transport modeling) were performed. Lung inflammation was assessed following oropharyngeal aspiration of CB or oxidized CBox particles (20 μg per mouse) in C57BL/6J mice. Toxicity and functional assays were also performed on murine macrophage (RAW 264.7) and endothelial cell lines (C166) with and without pharmacological inhibitors. Oxidant generation was assessed by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) and via flow cytometry. Endothelial toxicity was evaluated by quantifying pro-inflammatory mRNA expression, monolayer permeability, and wound closure. XPS and FTIR spectra indicated surface modifications, the appearance of new functionalities, and greater oxidative potential (both acellular and in vitro) of CBox particles. Treatment with CBox demonstrated greater in vivo inflammatory potentials (lavage neutrophil counts, secreted cytokine, and lung tissue mRNA expression) and air-blood barrier disruption (lavage proteins). Oxidant-dependent pro-inflammatory signaling in macrophages led to the production of CXCR3 ligands (CXCL9,10,11). Conditioned medium from CBox-treated macrophages induced significant elevation in endothelial cell pro-inflammatory mRNA expression, enhanced monolayer permeability and impairment of scratch healing in CXCR3 dependent manner. In summary, this study mechanistically demonstrated an increased biological potency of CBox particles and established the role of macrophage-released chemical mediators in endothelial damage.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been extensively investigated, and several studies have shown that multi-walled CNTs can trigger inflammation and fibrosis in animal models. However, while neutrophils are involved in inflammation, most in vitro studies have addressed macrophages. Here we explored the impact of three MWCNTs with varying morphology (i.e. long and rigid versus short and/or tangled) on primary human macrophages and macrophage-differentiated THP-1 cells versus primary human neutrophils and neutrophil-differentiated HL-60 cells. We found that long and rigid MWCNTs triggered caspase-dependent cell death in macrophages, accompanied by NLRP3 inflammasome activation and gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated release of pro-inflammatory IL-1β. The release of IL-1β was suppressed by disulfiram, an FDA-approved drug known to act as an inhibitor of membrane pore formation by GSDMD. Evidence of autophagic cell death was noted in macrophages exposed to higher concentrations of the long and rigid MWCNTs. Furthermore, lysosomal damage with cytosolic release of cathepsin B was observed in macrophages exposed to the latter MWCNTs. On the other hand, there was little evidence of uptake of MWCNTs in neutrophils and the cells failed to undergo MWCNT-triggered cell death. Our studies have demonstrated that long and rigid MWCNTs trigger pyroptosis in human macrophages.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Cell death occurs in various tissues and organs in the body. It is a physiological or pathological process that has different effects. It is of great significance in maintaining the morphological function of cells and clearing abnormal cells. Pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necrosis are all modes of cell death that have been studied extensively by many experts and scholars, including studies on their effects on the liver, kidney, the heart, other organs, and even the whole body. The heart, as the most important organ of the body, should be a particular focus. This review summarizes the mechanisms underlying the various cell death modes and the relationship between the various mechanisms and heart diseases. The current research status for heart therapy is discussed from the perspective of pathogenesis.

Abstract
Designer nanomaterials capable of delivering immunomodulators to specific immune cells have been extensively studied. However, emerging evidence suggests that several of these nanomaterials can nonspecifically activate NLRP3 inflammasomes, an intracellular multiprotein complex controlling various immune cell functions, leading to undesirable effects. To understand what nanoparticle attributes activate inflammasomes, we designed a multiparametric polymer supramolecular nanoparticle system to modulate various surface and core nanoparticle-associated molecular patterns (NAMPs), one at a time. We also investigated several underlying signaling pathways, including lysosomal rupture-cathepsin B maturation and calcium flux-mitochondrial ROS production, to gain mechanistic insights into NAMPs-mediated inflammasome activation. Here, we report that out of the four NAMPs tested, core hydrophobicity strongly activates and positively correlates with the NLRP3 assembly compared to surface charge, core rigidity, and surface hydrophobicity. Moreover, we demonstrate different signaling inclinations and kinetics followed by differential core hydrophobicity patterns with the most hydrophobic ones exhibiting both lysosomal rupture and calcium influx early on. Altogether, this study will help design the next generation of polymeric nanomaterials for specific regulation of inflammasome activation, aiding efficient immunotherapy and vaccine delivery.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is mainly characterized by the activation of inflammatory cells and chronic inflammatory responses after cell injury. Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death (PCD) accompanied by the release of inflammatory factors. Many studies have shown that pyroptosis plays an important role in AS. Increasing evidence also indicates that long non-coding RNA H19 (lncRNA H19) involved in AS. However, whether the role of lncRNA H19 in AS is related to pyroptosis and the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. In this study, we found that oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) induced pyroptosis and decreased the expression of lncRNA H19 in Raw 264.7 cells. Besides, silencing endogenous lncRNA H19 increased inflammatory responses and pyroptosis while exogenous overexpression of lncRNA H19 reversed this effect. Notably, we identified that the inhibitor of caspase-1 (XV-765) completely abrogated the silencing endogenous lncRNA H19 mediated pyroptosis. In addition, we found that lncRNA H19 inhibited ox-LDL-induced activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), mitochondrial dysfunction, and reduced the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, VX-765 impaired the silencing endogenous lncRNA H19 mediated pyroptosis. Overall, these findings indicated that lncRNA H19 may play an important role in pyroptosis and may serve as a potential therapeutic target for AS.

Abstract
Silicosis remains one of the most severe pulmonary fibrotic diseases worldwide, caused by chronic exposure to silica dust. In this review, we have proposed that programmed cell death (PCD), including autophagy, apoptosis, and pyroptosis, is closely associated with silicosis progression. Furthermore, some autophagy, apoptosis, or pyroptosis-related signaling pathways or regulatory proteins have also been summarized to contribute greatly to the formation and development of silicosis. In addition, silicosis pathogenesis depends on the crosstalk among these three ways of PCD to a certain extent. In summary, more profound research on these mechanisms and effects may be expected to become promising targets for intervention or therapeutic methods of silicosis in the future.

Abstract
The exine capsules of pollen particles exhibit a variety of characteristic surface morphologies that promote their cell interactions; their use as antigen carriers for vaccination has been proposed. However, the allergy-causing substances in pollen particles may not all be removed, even by vigorous chemical treatments. To resolve this issue, this work develops systemic approaches for synthesizing pollen-mimetic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which comprise aluminum (Al) ions and an organic linker (2-aminoterephthalic acid), with tunable spike-like nanostructures on their surfaces. The as-synthesized MOFs act not only as a delivery vehicle that carries a model antigen (ovalbumin, OVA) but also as an adjuvant (Al). Scanning and transmission electron microscopies images reveal that the aspect ratio of the nanospikes that are grown on the MOFs can be controlled. A higher aspect ratio of the nanospikes on the MOFs is associated with greater cell attachment and faster and more efficient phagocytosis in cells, which results in greater expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Consequently, a more robust immune response against the antigen of interest is elicited. These findings have broad implications for the rational design of the future antigen/adjuvant-presenting particles for vaccination.

Abstract
With growing interest, a large number of researches have been conducted on carbon-based nanomaterials (CBNs). However, their uses are limited due to comprehensive potential environmental and human health effects. It is often confusing for researchers to make an informed choice regarding the versatile carbon-based nanocarrier system and its potential applications. This review has highlighted emerging applications and cutting-edge progress of CBNs in drug delivery. Some critical factors like enzymatic degradation, surface modification, biological interactions, and bio-corona have been discussed here. These factors will help to fabricate CBNs for effective drug delivery. This review also addresses recent advancements in carbon-based target specific and release controlled drug delivery to improve disease treatment. The scientific community has turned their research efforts into the development of novel production methods of CBNs to make their production more attractive to the industrial sector. Due to the nanosize and diversified physical properties, these CBNs have demonstrated distinct biological interaction. Thus long-term preclinical toxicity study is recommended before finally translating to clinical application.

Abstract
Applications of nanomaterials cause a general concern on their toxicity when they intentionally (such as in medicine) or unintentionally (environment exposure) enter into the human body. As a special subpopulation, pregnant women are more susceptible to nanoparticle (NP)-induced toxicity. More importantly, prenatal exposures may affect the entire life of the fetus. Through blood circulation, NPs may cross placental barriers and enter into fetus. A cascade of events, such as damage in placental barriers, generation of oxidative stress, inflammation, and altered gene expression, may induce delayed or abnormal fetal development. The physicochemical properties of NPs, exposure time, and other factors directly affect nanotoxicity in pregnant populations. Even though results from animal studies cannot directly extrapolate to humans, compelling evidence has already shown that, for pregnant women, caution must be taken when dealing with nanomedicines or NP pollutants.

Abstract
AIMS Pyroptosis and inflammation are involved in the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the cigarette smoke-mediated mechanism of COPD remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of nucleotide-binding domain-like receptor protein-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis in the death of human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells after cigarette smoke extract (CSE) exposure. MAIN METHODS The protein level of NLRP3 in lung tissue was measured after cigarette smoke exposure in vivo. In vitro, HBE cells were treated with CSE. Subsequently, the activity of caspase-1, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, release of interleukin (IL)-1β and NLRP3 expression levels were measured. The involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was also explored. KEY FINDINGS After exposure to CSE, increased release of LDH, the transcriptional and translational upregulation of NLRP3, the caspase-1 activity levels, and enhanced IL-1β and IL-18 release were observed in 16HBE cells. In addition, NLRP3 was required to activate the caspase-1. Our results suggested that pre-stimulated of 16HBE with a caspase-1 inhibitor, or using NLRP3 siRNA to silence NLRP3 expression, also caused the decrease of IL-1β release and pyroptosis. SIGNIFICANCES CSE induced inflammation and contributed to pyroptosis through the ROS/NLRP3/caspase-1 pathway in 16HBE cells. The NLRP3 inflammasome participates in CSE-induced HBE cell damage and pyroptosis, which could provide new insights into COPD.

Abstract
Research efforts on nanomaterial-based therapies for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer have spiked and have made rapid progress over the past years. Nanomedicine has been shown to contribute significantly to overcome current therapeutic limitations, exhibiting advantages compared to conventional therapeutics, such as sustained drug release, delayed drug degradation and site-specific drug delivery. Multiple nanodrugs have reached the clinic, but translation is often hampered by either low targeting efficiency or undesired side effects. Nanomaterials, and especially inorganic nanoparticles, have gained criticism due to their potential toxic effects, including immunological alterations. However, many strategies have been attempted to improve the therapeutic efficacy of nanoparticles and exploit their unique properties for the treatment of inflammation and associated diseases. In this review, we elaborate on the immunomodulatory effects of nanomaterials, with a strong focus on the underlying mechanisms that lead to these specific immune responses. Nanomaterials to be discussed include inorganic nanoparticles such as gold, silica and silver, as well as organic nanomaterials such as polymer-, dendrimer-, liposomal- and protein-based nanoparticles. Furthermore, various approaches for tuning nanomaterials in order to enhance their efficacy and attenuate their immune stimulation or suppression, with respect to the therapeutic application, are described. Additionally, we illustrate how the acquired insights have been used to design immunotherapeutic strategies for a variety of diseases. The potential of nanomedicine-based therapeutic strategies in immunotherapy is further illustrated by an up to date overview of current clinical trials. Finally, recent efforts into enhancing immunogenic cell death through the use of nanoparticles are discussed.

Abstract
Pyroptosis, a unique form of programmed cell death (PCD) that is characterized by DNA fragmentation, chromatin condensation, cellular swelling with big bubbles, and leakage of cell content, has been proven to have a close relationship with human diseases, such as inflammatory diseases and malignant tumors. Since a new gasdermin-D (GSDMD) protein was identified in 2015, various strategies have been developed to induce pyroptosis for cancer therapy, including ions, small-molecule drugs and nanomaterials. Although there are a number of reviews about the close relationship between the pyroptosis mechanism and the occurrence of various cancers, a summary covering recent progress in the field of nanomedicines in pyroptosis-based cancer therapy has not yet been presented. Therefore, it is urgent to fill this gap and light up future directions for the use of this powerful tool to combat cancer. In this Minireview, recent progress in cancer treatment based on pyroptosis induced by nanoparticles will be described in detail, the design highlights and the therapeutic advantages are emphasized, and future perspectives in this emerging area are proposed.

Abstract
Airway exposure of lupus-prone NZBWF1 mice to crystalline silica (cSiO2), a known trigger of human autoimmune disease, elicits sterile inflammation and alveolar macrophage death in the lung that, in turn, induces early autoimmune onset and accelerates lupus progression to fatal glomerulonephritis. Dietary supplementation with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a marine ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), markedly ameliorates cSiO2-triggered pulmonary, systemic, and renal manifestations of lupus. Here, we tested the hypothesis that DHA influences both cSiO2-induced death and efferocytotic clearance of resultant cell corpses using three murine macrophage models: (i) primary alveolar macrophages (AM) isolated from NZBWF1 mice; (ii) self-renewing AM-like Max Planck Institute (MPI) cells isolated from fetuses of C57BL/6 mice, and (iii) RAW 264.7 murine macrophages, a virus-transformed cell line derived from BALB/c mice stably transfected with the inflammasome adaptor protein ASC (RAW-ASC). Incubation with cSiO2 at 25 and 50 μg/ml for 6 h was found to dose-dependently induce cell death (p < 0.05) in all three models as determined by both acridine orange/propidium iodide staining and release of lactate dehydrogenase into cell culture supernatant. Pre-incubation with DHA at a physiologically relevant concentration (25 μM) significantly reduced cSiO2-induced death (p < 0.05) in all three models. Cell death induction by cSiO2 alone and its suppression by DHA were primarily associated with caspase-3/7 activation, suggestive of apoptosis, in AM, MPI, and RAW-ASC cells. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that all three macrophage models were similarly capable of efferocytosing RAW-ASC target cell corpses. Furthermore, MPI effector cells could likewise engulf RAW-ASC target cell corpses elicited by treatment with staurosporine (apoptosis), LPS, and nigericin (pyroptosis), or cSiO2. Pre-incubation of RAW-ASC target cells with 25 μM DHA prior to death induced by these agents significantly enhanced their efferocytosis (p < 0.05) by MPI effector cells. In contrast, pre-incubating MPI effector cells with DHA did not affect engulfment of RAW-ASC target cells pre-incubated with vehicle. Taken together, these findings indicate that DHA at a physiologically relevant concentration was capable of attenuating macrophage death and could potentiate efferocytosis, with the net effect of reducing accumulation of cell corpses capable of eliciting autoimmunity.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a type of toxic metal, in most cases, coming from fuel burning and aquatic plants. The cells of organisms can be caused serious damage, including pyroptosis, exposure to low concentrations of Cd in long-term. Pyroptosis is a recently discovered Caspase-1-mediated cell death. In this study, lymphocytes were extracted from the pronephros and spleens in carps, respectively. After treating cells with low concentration of Cd, the mRNA and protein expression levels of pyroptosis-related genes, NLRP3, Caspase-1, and pro-inflammatory cytokines, increased obviously. And the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondria reactive oxygen species (mtROS) increased significantly, we also found the activities of CAT, GSH-px and T-SOD reduce significantly, and the content of MDA have a clear upward trend. We then added NLRP3 inhibitor, Glyburide, to the Cd-treated group, further confirming that NLRP3 is a key gene in pyroptosis pathways by detecting the mRNA and protein expression levels. Besides, the rupture of the cell membrane was also confirmed by Hoechst/PI double staining, red fluorescence increased obviously in the Cd treatment group. The experiment revealed that Cd exposure induces pyroptosis of lymphocytes in carp pronephros and spleens by activating NLRP3. Inhibition of NLRP3 activity can slow down the degree of lymphocytes pyroptosis. Thus, the above information provides a new avenue toward understanding the partial mechanism of Cd exposure-induced pyroptosis.
