CX3CR1 deficiency promotes resolution of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury by regulating homeostatic function of liver infiltrating macrophages. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2024; 1870:167130.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury(HIRI) remains to be an unsolved risk factor that contributes to organ failure after liver surgery. Our clinical retrospective study showed that lower donor liver CX3-C chemokine receptor-1(CX3CR1) mRNA expression level were correlated with upregulated pro-resolved macrophage receptor MERTK, as well as promoted restoration efficiency of allograft injury in liver transplant. To further characterize roles of CX3CR1 in regulating resolution of HIRI, we employed murine liver partial warm ischemia-reperfusion model by Wt & Cx3cr1-/- mice and the reperfusion time was prolonged from 6 h to 4-7 days. Kupffer cells(KCs) were depleted by clodronate liposome(CL) in advance to focus on infiltrating macrophages, and repopulation kinetics were determined by FACS, IF and RNA-Seq. CX3CR1 antagonist AZD8797 was injected i.p. to interrogate potential pharmacological therapeutic strategies. In vitro primary bone marrow macrophages(BMMs) culture by LXR agonist DMHCA, as well as molecular and functional studies, were undertaken to dissect roles of CX3CR1 in modulating macrophages cytobiological development and resolutive functions. We observed that deficiency or pharmacological inhibition of CX3CR1 facilitated HIRI resolution via promoted macrophages migration in CCR1/CCR5 manner, as well as enhanced MerTK-mediated efferocytosis. Our study demonstrated the critical roles of CX3CR1 in progression of HIRI and identified it as a potential therapeutic target in clinical liver transplantation.

Abstract
Liver disease-related mortality is a major cause of death worldwide. Hepatic innate and adaptive immune cells play diverse roles in liver homeostasis and disease. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous population of immature myeloid cells. MDSCs can be broadly divided into monocytic MDSCs and polymorphonuclear or granulocytic MDSCs, and they functionally interact with both liver parenchymal and nonparenchymal cells, such as hepatocytes and regulatory T cells, to impact liver disease progression. The infiltration and activation of MDSCs in liver disease can be regulated by inflammatory chemokines and cytokines, tumor-associated fibroblasts, epigenetic regulation factors, and gut microbiota during liver injury and cancer. Given the pivotal roles of MDSCs in advanced liver diseases, they can be targeted to treat primary and metastatic liver cancer, liver generation, alcoholic and nonalcoholic liver disease, and autoimmune hepatitis. Currently, several treatments such as the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent berberine are under preclinical and clinical investigation to evaluate their therapeutic efficacy on liver disease and their effect on MDSC infiltration and function. Phenotypic alteration of MDSCs in different liver diseases that are in a model-dependent manner and lack special markers for distinct MDSCs are challenges for targeting MDSCs to treat liver disease. Multi-omics study is an option to uncover the features of disease-specific MDSCs and potential gene or protein targets for liver disease treatment. In summary, MDSCs play important roles in the pathogenesis and progression of liver disease by regulating both intrahepatic innate and adaptive immune responses.

Nutr Cancer 2023; 76:137-148.

Abstract
Sulforaphane (SFN) is a compound derived from cruciferous plants. It has received considerable attention in recent years due to its effectiveness in cancer prevention and anti-inflammatory properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antitumor potential of sulforaphane on colitis-associated carcinogenesis (CAC) through the establishment of a mouse model with AOM/DSS. First, AOM/DSS and DSS-induced model were established and administered SFN for 10 wk, and then the severity of colitis-associated colon cancer was examined macroscopically and histologically. Subsequently, immune cells and cytokines in the tumor microenvironment (TME) were quantified. Finally, the influence of sulforaphane was also investigated using different colon cell lines. We found that sulforaphane treatment decreased tumor volume, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) expansion, the expression of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β, and the level of IL-10 in serum. Also, it enhanced the antitumor activities of CD8+ T cells and significantly reduced tumorigenesis as induced by AOM/DSS. SFN also attenuated intestinal inflammation in DSS-induced chronic colitis by reshaping the inflammatory microenvironment. This work demonstrates that sulforaphane suppresses carcinogenesis-associated intestinal inflammation and prevents AOM/DSS-induced intestinal tumorigenesis and progression.

Abstract
Acute liver injury (ALI) in children, which commonly leads to acute liver failure (ALF) with the need for liver transplantation, is a devastating life-threatening condition. As the orchestrated regulation of immune hemostasis in the liver is essential for resolving excess inflammation and promoting liver repair in a timely manner, in this study we focused on the immune inflammation and regulation with the functional involvement of both innate and adaptive immune cells in acute liver injury progression. In the context of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, it was also important to incorporate insights from the immunological perspective for the hepatic involvement with SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as the acute severe hepatitis of unknown origin in children since it was first reported in March 2022. Furthermore, molecular crosstalk between immune cells concerning the roles of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in triggering immune responses through different signaling pathways plays an essential role in the process of liver injury. In addition, we also focused on DAMPs such as high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP), as well as on macrophage mitochondrial DNA-cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway in liver injury. Our review also highlighted novel therapeutic approaches targeting molecular and cellular crosstalk and cell-based therapy, providing a future outlook for the treatment of acute liver injury.

Murine breast cancers disorganize the liver transcriptome in a zonated manner. Commun Biol 2023; 6:97.

Abstract
The spatially organized gene expression program within the liver specifies hepatocyte functions according to their relative distances to the bloodstream (i.e., zonation), contributing to liver homeostasis. Despite the knowledge that solid cancers remotely disrupt liver homeostasis, it remains unexplored whether solid cancers affect liver zonation. Here, using spatial transcriptomics, we thoroughly investigate the abundance and zonation of hepatic genes in cancer-bearing mice. We find that breast cancers affect liver zonation in various distinct manners depending on biological pathways. Aspartate metabolism and triglyceride catabolic processes retain relatively intact zonation patterns, but the zonation of xenobiotic catabolic process genes exhibits a strong disruption. The acute phase response is induced in zonated manners. Furthermore, we demonstrate that breast cancers activate innate immune cells in particular neutrophils in distinct zonated manners, rather than in a uniform fashion within the liver. Collectively, breast cancers disorganize hepatic transcriptomes in zonated manners, thereby disrupting zonated functions of the liver.

Abstract
Background Liver regeneration is a fundamental process for sustained body homeostasis and liver function recovery after injury. Emerging evidence demonstrates that myeloid cells play a critical role in liver regeneration by secreting cytokines and growth factors. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), the target of clinical lipid-lowering fibrate drugs, regulates cell metabolism, proliferation, and survival. However, the role of myeloid PPARα in partial hepatectomy (PHx)-induced liver regeneration remains unknown. Methods Myeloid-specific PPARa-deficient (Ppara Mye-/-) mice and the littermate controls (Ppara fl/fl) were subjected to sham or 2/3 PHx to induce liver regeneration. Hepatocyte proliferation and mitosis were assessed by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) and Ki67 as well as hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Macrophage and neutrophil infiltration into livers were reflected by IHC staining for galectin-3 and myeloperoxidase (MPO) as well as flow cytometry analysis. Macrophage migration ability was evaluated by transwell assay. The mRNA levels for cell cycle or inflammation-related genes were measured by quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qPCR). The protein levels of cell proliferation related protein and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) were detected by Western blotting. Results Ppara Mye-/- mice showed enhanced hepatocyte proliferation and mitosis at 32 h after PHx compared with Ppara fl/fl mice, which was consistent with increased proliferating cell nuclear antigen (Pcna) mRNA and cyclinD1 (CYCD1) protein levels in Ppara Mye-/- mice at 32 h after PHx, indicating an accelerated liver regeneration in Ppara Mye-/- mice. IHC staining showed that macrophages and neutrophils were increased in Ppara Mye-/- liver at 32 h after PHx. Livers of Ppara Mye-/- mice also showed an enhanced infiltration of M1 macrophages at 32 h after PHx. In vitro, Ppara-deficient bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) exhibited markedly enhanced migratory capacity and upregulated M1 genes Il6 and Tnfa but downregulated M2 gene Arg1 expressions. Furthermore, the phosphorylation of STAT3, a key transcript factor mediating IL6-promoted hepatocyte survival and proliferation, was reinforced in the liver of Ppara Mye-/- mice after PHx. Conclusions This study provides evidence that myeloid PPARα deficiency accelerates PHx-induced liver regeneration via macrophage polarization and consequent IL-6/STAT3 activation, thus providing a potential target for manipulating liver regeneration.

Abstract
Liver ischaemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI), a local sterile inflammatory response driven by innate immunity, is one of the primary causes of early organ dysfunction and failure after liver transplantation. Cellular damage resulting from LIRI is an important risk factor not only for graft dysfunction but also for acute and even chronic rejection and exacerbates the shortage of donor organs for life-saving liver transplantation. Hepatocytes, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and Kupffer cells, along with extrahepatic monocyte-derived macrophages, neutrophils and platelets, are all involved in LIRI. However, the mechanisms underlying the responses of these cells in the acute phase of LIRI and how these responses are orchestrated to control and resolve inflammation and achieve homeostatic tissue repair are not well understood. Technological advances allow the tracking of cells to better appreciate the role of hepatic macrophages and platelets (such as their origin and immunomodulatory and tissue-remodelling functions) and hepatic neutrophils (such as their selective recruitment, anti-inflammatory and tissue-repairing functions, and formation of extracellular traps and reverse migration) in LIRI. In this Review, we summarize the role of macrophages, platelets and neutrophils in LIRI, highlight unanswered questions, and discuss prospects for innovative therapeutic regimens against LIRI in transplant recipients.

Abstract
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) impede antitumor immunity; however, the precise mechanisms that regulate their suppressive function remain unresolved. Identifying these mechanisms could lead to therapeutic interventions to boost cancer immunotherapy efficacy. Here, we reveal that β2 adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) expression on MDSCs increases with tumor growth and that the β2-AR stress pathway drives the immune suppressive activity of MDSCs by altering their metabolism. We show that β2-AR signaling decreases glycolysis and increases oxidative phosphorylation and fatty acid oxidation (FAO). It also increases expression of the fatty acid transporter CPT1A, which is necessary for the FAO-mediated immunosuppressive function of MDSCs. Moreover, we show that β2-AR signaling increases autophagy and activates the arachidonic acid cycle, both required for increasing the release of the immunosuppressive mediator, PGE2. Our data reveal that β2-AR signaling triggered by stress is an important physiological regulator of key metabolic pathways in MDSCs, driving their immunosuppressive function. Mohammadpour et al. show that β2-AR signaling in MDSCs alters their metabolic state and increases their immunosuppressive function. Specific processes found to be increased include fatty acid oxidation, oxidative phosphorylation, and autophagy. In addition, these metabolic alterations facilitate an increase in PGE2 production via elevated COX2 expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Macrophages play a key role in liver regeneration. The fates of resident macrophages after 70% resection are poorly investigated. In this work, using the MARCO macrophage marker (abbreviated from macrophage receptor with collagenous structure), we studied the dynamics of mouse liver resident macrophages after 70% resection. METHODS In BALB/c male mice, a model of liver regeneration after 70% resection was reproduced. The dynamics of markers CD68, TIM4, and MARCO were studied immunohistochemically and by using a Western blot. RESULTS The number of MARCO- and CD68-positive macrophages in the regenerating liver increased 1 day and 3 days after resection, respectively. At the same time, the content of the MARCO protein increased in the sorted macrophages of the regenerating liver on the third day. CONCLUSIONS The data indicate that the number of MARCO-positive macrophages in the regenerating liver increases due to the activation of MARCO synthesis in the liver macrophages. The increased expression of MARCO by macrophages can be regarded as a sign of their activation. In the present study, stimulation with LPS led to an increase in the expression of the Marco gene in both Kupffer cells and macrophages of bone marrow origin.

Abstract
Liver cancer is one of the main malignant tumors that endanger human health, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common histological type of this heterogeneous cancer. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a dynamic system composed of tumor cells and tumor-related stroma. HCC can form tumor-related blood vessels through a variety of angiogenesis modes. Previous studies have shown that various components of TME mediate HCC angiogenesis in multiple ways, which brings big challenges to clinical anti-angiogenesis therapy. This article reviews the research progress of HCC angiogenesis model and the role of TME in the regulation of HCC angiogenesis, with an aim to provide a reference for basic and clinical research of liver cancer.
