Effects of sevoflurane on lung alveolar epithelial wound healing and survival in a sterile in vitro model of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Exp Cell Res 2024; 438:114030. [PMID: 38583855 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2024.114030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious lung condition that often leads to hospitalization in intensive care units and a high mortality rate. Sevoflurane is a volatile anesthetic with growing interest for sedation in ventilated patients with ARDS. It has been shown to have potential lung-protective effects, such as reduced inflammation and lung edema, or improved arterial oxygenation. In this study, we investigated the effects of sevoflurane on lung injury in cultured human carcinoma-derived lung alveolar epithelial (A549) cells. We found that sevoflurane was associated with improved wound healing after exposure to inflammatory cytokines, with preserved cell proliferation but no effect on cell migration properties. Sevoflurane exposure was also associated with enhanced cell viability and active autophagy in A549 cells exposed to cytokines. These findings suggest that sevoflurane may have beneficial effects on lung epithelial injury by promoting alveolar epithelial wound healing and by influencing the survival and proliferation of A549 epithelial cells in vitro. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and to investigate the key cellular mechanisms explaining sevoflurane's potential effects on lung epithelial injury.

[PMID: 38440722 PMCID: PMC10909908 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1344805] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Acute lung injury (ALI)/severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious clinical syndrome characterized by a high mortality rate. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying ALI/ARDS remain incompletely understood. Considering the crucial role of immune infiltration and macrophage polarization in the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS, this study aims to identify key genes associated with both ALI/ARDS and M1 macrophage polarization, employing a combination of bioinformatics and experimental approaches. The findings could potentially reveal novel biomarkers for the diagnosis and management of ALI/ARDS. Methods Gene expression profiles relevant to ALI were retrieved from the GEO database to identify co-upregulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs). GO and KEGG analyses facilitated functional annotation and pathway elucidation. PPI networks were constructed to identify hub genes, and differences in immune cell infiltration were subsequently examined. The expression of hub genes in M1 versus M2 macrophages was evaluated using macrophage polarization datasets. The diagnostic utility of CD274 (PD-L1) for ARDS was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis in a validation dataset. Experimental confirmation was conducted using two LPS-induced M1 macrophage models and an ALI mouse model. The role of CD274 (PD-L1) in M1 macrophage polarization and associated proinflammatory cytokine production was further investigated by siRNA-mediated silencing. Results A total of 99 co-upregulated DEGs were identified in two ALI-linked datasets. Enrichment analysis revealed that these DEGs were mainly involved in immune-inflammatory pathways. The following top 10 hub genes were identified from the PPI network: IL-6, IL-1β, CXCL10, CD274, CCL2, TLR2, CXCL1, CCL3, IFIT1, and IFIT3. Immune infiltration analysis revealed a significantly increased abundance of M1 and M2 macrophages in lung tissue from the ALI group compared to the control group. Subsequent analysis confirmed that CD274 (PD-L1), a key immunological checkpoint molecule, was highly expressed within M1 macrophages. ROC analysis validated CD274 (PD-L1) as a promising biomarker for the diagnosis of ARDS. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments supported the bioinformatics analysis and confirmed that the JAK-STAT3 pathway promotes CD274 (PD-L1) expression on M1 macrophages. Importantly, knockdown of CD274 (PD-L1) expression potentiated M1 macrophage polarization and enhanced proinflammatory cytokines production. Conclusion This study demonstrates a significant correlation between CD274 (PD-L1) and M1 macrophages in ALI/ARDS. CD274 (PD-L1) functions as a negative regulator of M1 polarization and the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in macrophages. These findings suggest potential new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of ALI/ARDS.

Fan W, Xu Z, Zhang J, Guan M, Zheng Y, Wang Y, Wu H, Su W, Li P. Naringenin regulates cigarette smoke extract-induced extracellular vesicles from alveolar macrophage to attenuate the mouse lung epithelial ferroptosis through activating EV miR-23a-3p/ACSL4 axis. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 124:155256. [PMID: 38181527 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.155256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Alveolar macrophages are one of the momentous regulators in pulmonary inflammatory responses, which can secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) packing miRNAs. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell death, is associated with cigarette smoke-induced lung injury, and EVs have been reported to regulate ferroptosis by transporting intracellular iron. However, the regulatory mechanism of alveolar macrophage-derived EVs has not been clearly illuminated in smoking-related pulmonary ferroptosis. Despite the known anti-ferroptosis effects of naringenin in lung injury, whether naringenin controls EVs-mediated ferroptosis has not yet been explored. PURPOSE We explore the effects of EVs from cigarette smoke-stimulated alveolar macrophages in lung epithelial ferroptosis, and elucidate the EV miRNA-mediated pharmacological mechanism of naringenin. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Differential and ultracentrifugation were conducted to extract EVs from different alveolar macrophages treatment groups in vitro. Both intratracheal instilled mice and treated epithelial cells were used to investigate the roles of EVs from alveolar macrophages involved in ferroptosis. Small RNA sequencing analysis was performed to distinguish altered miRNAs in EVs. The ferroptotic effects of EV miRNAs were examined by applying dual-Luciferase reporter assay and miRNA inhibitor transfection experiment. RESULTS Here, we firstly reported that EVs from cigarette smoke extract-induced alveolar macrophages (CSE-EVs) provoked pulmonary epithelial ferroptosis. The ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 treatment reversed these changes in vitro. Moreover, EVs from naringenin and CSE co-treated alveolar macrophages (CSE+Naringenin-EVs) markedly attenuated the lung epithelial ferroptosis compared with CSE-EVs. Notably, we identified miR-23a-3p as the most dramatically changed miRNA among Normal-EVs, CSE-EVs, and CSE+Naringenin-EVs. Further experimental investigation showed that ACSL4, a pro-ferroptotic gene leading to lipid peroxidation, was negatively regulated by miR-23a-3p. The inhibition of miR-23a-3p diminished the efficacy of CSE+Naringenin-EVs. CONCLUSION Our findings firstly provided evidence that naringenin elevated the EV miR-23a-3p level from CSE-induced alveolar macrophages, thereby inhibiting the mouse lung epithelial ferroptosis via targeting ACSL4, and further complemented the mechanism of cigarette-induced lung injury and the protection of naringenin in a paracrine manner. The administration of miR-23a-3p-enriched EVs has the potential to ameliorate pulmonary ferroptosis.

Abstract
Macrophages are the mature form of monocytes that have high plasticity and can shift from one phenotype to another by the process of macrophage polarization. Macrophage has several vital pharmacological tasks like eliminating microorganism invasion, clearing dead cells, causing inflammation, repairing damaged tissues, etc. The function of macrophages is based on their phenotype. M1 macrophages are mostly responsible for the body's immune responses and M2 macrophages have healing properties. Inappropriate activation of any one of the phenotypes often leads to ROS-induced tissue damage and affects wound healing and angiogenesis. Therefore, maintaining tissue macrophage homeostasis is necessary. Studies are being done to find techniques for macrophage polarization. But, the process of macrophage polarization is very complex as it involves multiple signalling pathways involving innate immunity. Thus, identifying the right pathways for macrophage polarization is essential to apply the polarizing technique for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases where macrophage physiology influences the disease pathology. In this review, we highlighted the various techniques so far used to change macrophage plasticity. We believe that soon macrophage targeting therapeutics will hit the market for the management of inflammatory disease. Hence this review will help macrophage researchers choose suitable methods and materials/agents to polarize macrophages artificially in various disease models.

Abstract
Macrophages/microglia are immune system defense and homeostatic cells that develop from bone marrow progenitor cells. According to the different phenotypes and immune responses of macrophages (Th1 and Th2), the two primary categories of polarized macrophages/microglia are those conventionally activated (M1) and alternatively activated (M2). Macrophage/microglial polarization is a key regulating factor in the development of inflammatory disorders, cancers, metabolic disturbances, and neural degeneration. Macrophage/microglial polarization is involved in inflammation, oxidative stress, pathological angiogenesis, and tissue healing processes in ocular diseases, particularly in diabetic retinopathy (DR). The functional phenotypes of macrophages/microglia affect disease progression and prognosis, and thus regulate the polarization or functional phenotype of microglia at different DR stages, which may offer new concepts for individualized therapy of DR. This review summarizes the involvement of macrophage/microglia polarization in physiological situations and in the pathological process of DR, and discusses the promising role of polarization in personalized treatment of DR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing body of research has shown that the phenotypic change in macrophages from M0 to M1 is essential for the start of the inflammatory process in septic acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Potential treatment targets might be identified with more knowledge of the molecular regulation of M1 macrophages in septic ARDS. METHODS A multi-microarray interrelated analysis of high-throughput experiments from ARDS patients and macrophage polarization was conducted to identify the hub genes associated with macrophage M1 polarization and septic ARDS. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Poly (I:C) were utilized to stimulate bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) for M1-polarized macrophage model construction. Knock down of the hub genes on BMDMs via shRNAs was used to screen the genes regulating macrophage M1 polarization in vitro. The cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) mouse model was constructed in knockout (KO) mice and wild-type (WT) mice to explore whether the screened genes regulate macrophage M1 polarization in septic ARDS in vivo. ChIP-seq and further experiments on BMDMs were performed to investigate the molecular mechanism. RESULTS The bioinformatics analysis of gene expression profiles from a clinical cohort of 26 ARDS patients and macrophage polarization found that the 5 hub genes (IFIH1, IRF1, STAT1, IFIT3, GBP1) may have a synergistic effect on macrophage M1 polarization in septic ARDS. Further in vivo investigations indicated that IFIH1, STAT1 and IRF1 contribute to macrophage M1 polarization. The histological evaluation and immunohistochemistry of the lungs from the IRF1-/- and WT mice indicated that knockout of IRF1 markedly alleviated CLP-induced lung injury and M1-polarized infiltration. Moreover, the molecular mechanism investigations indicated that knockdown of IFIH1 markedly promoted IRF1 translocation into the nucleus. Knockout of IRF1 significantly decreases the expression of STAT1. ChIP-seq and PCR further confirmed that IRF1, as a transcription factor of STAT1, binds to the promoter region of STAT1. CONCLUSION IRF1 was identified as the key molecule that regulates macrophage M1polarization and septic ARDS development in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, as the adaptor in response to infection mimics irritants, IFIH1 promotes IRF1 (transcription factor) translocation into the nucleus to initiate STAT1 transcription.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between healing response after non-surgical periodontal treatment and baseline gingival tissue levels of M2 macrophage activation-related proteins CD163, interleukin (IL)-10, interferon (IFN)-γ, and tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK), and the CD163/TWEAK ratio. METHODS Eighty-eight gingival tissue samples from 44 Stage III/IV, Grade C periodontitis patients (18 smokers) and 41 tissue samples from 41 periodontally healthy participants (18 smokers) were evaluated. Clinical parameters were recorded in periodontally healthy individuals at baseline and in periodontitis patients at pre-treatment and 2, 6, and 12 weeks following therapy. IL-10, IFN-γ, CD163, and TWEAK levels were analyzed with Luminex technique. RESULTS Tissue levels (median, 1st -3rd quartile) of IL-10 (pg/ng protein), CD163 (pg/μg protein) and TWEAK (pg/μg protein) were as follows: IL-10 periodontitis: 2.08, 0.86-5.32 and periodontally healthy: 5.22, 3.20-10.25; CD163 periodontitis: 8.85, 4.92-14.06 and periodontally healthy: 18.36, 12.51-34.02; TWEAK periodontitis: 0.08, 0.05-0.11 and periodontally healthy: 0.16, 0.12-0.21. IL-10, CD163, and TWEAK levels were higher (P < 0.001) in periodontally healthy tissues than in periodontitis tissues. Pocket closure at 12 weeks was associated with elevated baseline gingival CD163 levels (P = 0.047) and CD163/TWEAK ratio (P = 0.001). Elevated baseline gingival CD163/TWEAK ratio was associated with pocket reduction at 6 (P = 0.022) and 12 weeks (P = 0.002). CONCLUSION Associations of pocket closure with pre-treatment gingival tissue CD163 levels and CD163/TWEAK ratio indicate that baseline M2 macrophage activation profile may play a role in periodontal wound healing.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) alveolar environment induced a pro-repair anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization. However, patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ARDS frequently exhibit a huge lung inflammation and present pulmonary scars and fibrosis more frequently than patients with non-COVID-19 ARDS, suggesting that the COVID-19 ARDS alveolar environment may drive a more inflammatory or pro-fibrotic macrophage polarization. This study aimed to determine the effect of the COVID-19 ARDS alveolar environment on macrophage polarization. The main finding was that broncho-alveolar lavage fluids (BALF) from patients with early COVID-19 ARDS drove an alternative anti-inflammatory polarization in normal monocyte-derived macrophages; characterized by increased expressions of CD163 and CD16 mRNA (3.4 [2.7-7.2] and 4.7 [2.6-5.8] fold saline control, respectively - p = 0.02), and a secretory pattern close to that of macrophages stimulated with IL-10, with the specificity of an increased production of IL-6. This particular alternative pattern was specific to early ARDS (compared with late ARDS) and of COVID-19 ARDS (compared with moderate COVID-19). The early COVID-19 ARDS alveolar environment drives an alternative anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization with the specificity of inducing macrophage production of IL-6.

Mia MM, Singh MK. Emerging roles of the Hippo signaling pathway in modulating immune response and inflammation-driven tissue repair and remodeling. FEBS J 2022; 289:4061-4081. [PMID: 35363945 DOI: 10.1111/febs.16449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2021] [Revised: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Inflammation is an evolutionarily conserved process and part of the body's defense mechanism. Inflammation leads to the activation of immune and non-immune cells that protect the host tissue/organs from injury or intruding pathogens. The Hippo pathway is an evolutionarily conserved kinase cascade with an established role in regulating cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. It is involved in diverse biological processes, including organ size control and tissue homeostasis. Recent clinical and pre-clinical studies have shown that the Hippo signaling pathway is also associated with injury- and pathogen-induced tissue inflammation and associated immunopathology. In this review, we have summarized the recent findings related to the involvement of the Hippo signaling pathway in modulating the immune response in different acute and chronic inflammatory diseases and its impact on tissue repair and remodeling.

Differential Lung Protective Capacity of Exosomes Derived from Human Adipose Tissue, Bone Marrow, and Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Sepsis-Induced Acute Lung Injury. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:7837837. [PMID: 35265265 PMCID: PMC8898768 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7837837] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Accepted: 01/29/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Exosomes derived from human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have the capacity to regulate various biological events associated with sepsis-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), including cellular immunometabolism, the production of proinflammatory cytokines, allowing them to exert therapeutic effects. However, little is known about which type of hMSC-derived exosomes (hMSC-exo) is more effective and suitable for the treatment of sepsis-induced ARDS. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of hMSC-derived exosomes from human adipose tissue (hADMSC-exo), human bone marrow (hBMMSC-exo), and human umbilical cord (hUCMSC-exo) in the treatment of sepsis-induced ARDS. We cocultured lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells with the three kinds of hMSCs and found that all hMSCs reduced the glycolysis level and the content of lactic acid in macrophages. Accordingly, the expression of proinflammatory cytokines also decreased. Notably, the protective effects of hMSCs from adipose tissue were more obvious than those of bone marrow and umbilical cord hMSCs. However, this protective effect was eliminated when an exosome inhibitor, GW4869, was added. Subsequently, we extracted and cocultured hMSC-derived exosomes with LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells and found that all three kinds of exosomes exerted a similar protective effect as their parental cells, with exosomes from adipose hMSCs showing the strongest protective effect. Finally, an experimental sepsis model in mice was established, and we found that all three types of hMSCs have obvious lung-protective effects, in reducing lung injury scores, lactic acid, and proinflammatory cytokine levels in the lung tissues and decreasing the total protein content and inflammatory cell count in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and also can attenuate the systemic inflammatory response and improve the survival rate of mice. Intravenous injection of three types of hMSC-exo, in particular those derived from adipose hADMSCs, also showed lung-protective effects in mice. These findings revealed that exosomes derived from different sources of hMSCs can effectively downregulate sepsis-induced glycolysis and inflammation in macrophages, ameliorate the lung pathological damage, and improve the survival rate of mice with sepsis. It is worth noting that the protective effect of hADMSC-exo is better than that of hBMMSC-exo and hUCMSC-exo.

Int Immunopharmacol 2021; 99:108072. [PMID: 34426111 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2021.108072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2021] [Revised: 08/11/2021] [Accepted: 08/11/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Macrophage polarization has a causal role in the pathogenesis and resolution of various clinical diseases. DNA-binding transcription factors (TFs) have been identified as essential factors during gene transcription. Better insight into the TFs that regulate macrophage polarization could provide novel therapeutic targets. METHODS IFN-γ (50 ng/mL) or IL4 (20 ng/mL) was utilized to stimulate bone marrow-derived macrophages from mice for 24 h for M1- and M2-polarized macrophage model construction, respectively. First, ATAC-seq (Assay for Targeting Accessible-Chromatin with high throughout sequencing) and motif analysis were conducted to identify potential transcription factors (TFs) involved in M1 and M2 macrophage polarization. Second, essential TFs were identified through RNA-seq, after which, their expression was compared between M0-polarized and M1/M2-polarized macrophages. Furthermore, a multiomic analysis of RNA-seq (siRNA knock down of the identified TFs), ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq was utilized to explore the TF-regulated molecular network. GO and KEGG analyses were used to expound the main functions of the TF-regulated molecular network. Finally, the top 5 TF-regulated genes were validated through flow cytometry, ELISA and qPCR. The cut-off values for high-throughput sequencing and qPCR were FDR < 0.05 and P < 0.05, respectively. RESULTS Compared with M0 macrophages, 10,771 and 4,848 peaks were identified by ATAC-seq during M1 and M2 macrophage polarization, respectively (FDR < 0.05). Fifty and 62 TF binding motifs were identified for the TFs that participate in M1 and M2 macrophage polarization, respectively. The most significantly highly expressed TFs in M1 and M2 macrophages were identified by RNA-seq as Irf1 and Egr1, with LogFC values of 3.2 and 2.8, respectively. Multiomic analyses further found that Irf1 regulated the transcription of 90 genes and that Egr1 regulated the transcription of 116 genes. The Irf1-regulated molecular network played a key role in the inflammatory response and viral defence of M1 macrophages, and 116 Egr1-regulated genes included anti-inflammatory and cell proliferation genes. Validation experiments indicated that IFN-γ-induced Gbp5, Nos2, CD86, Cxcl10 and Cxcl5 expression was significantly downregulated in siIrf1-BMDMs, and IL4-induced Itgax, Nipal1, Bhlhe40, CD206 and Ffar4 expression was significantly downregulated in siEgr1-BMDMs (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Through multiomic analyses of epigenetic sequencing and RNA-seq with partial validation, the current study found that Irf1- and Egr1-induced transcription plays key roles in M1 and M2 macrophage polarization, respectively.

Association between delay in intensive care unit admission and the host response in patients with community-acquired pneumonia. Ann Intensive Care 2021; 11:142.

Abstract
Background A delay in admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) of patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) has been associated with an increased mortality. Decisions regarding interventions and eligibility for immune modulatory therapy are often made at the time of admission to the ICU. The primary aim of this study was to compare the host immune response measured upon ICU admission in CAP patients admitted immediately from the emergency department (direct ICU admission) with those who were transferred within 72 h after admission to the general ward (delayed ICU admission). Methods Sixteen host response biomarkers providing insight in pathophysiological mechanisms implicated in sepsis and blood leukocyte transcriptomes were analysed in patients with CAP upon ICU admission in two tertiary hospitals in the Netherlands. Results Of 530 ICU admissions with CAP, 387 (73.0%) were directly admitted and 143 (27.0%) had a delayed admission. Patients with a delayed ICU admission were more often immunocompromised (35.0 versus 21.2%, P = .002) and had more malignancies (23.1 versus 13.4%, P = .011). Shock was more present in patients who were admitted to the ICU directly (46.6 versus 33.6%, P = .010). Delayed ICU admission was not associated with an increased hospital mortality risk (hazard ratio 1.25, 95% CI 0.89–1.78, P = .20). The plasma levels of biomarkers (n = 297) reflecting systemic inflammation, endothelial cell activation and coagulation activation were largely similar between groups, with exception of C-reactive protein, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and angiopoietin-1, which were more aberrant in delayed admissions compared to direct ICU admissions. Blood leukocyte transcriptomes (n = 132) of patients with a delayed ICU admission showed blunted innate and adaptive immune response signalling when compared with direct ICU admissions, as well as decreased gene expression associated with tissue repair and extracellular matrix remodelling pathways. Conclusions Blood leukocytes of CAP patients with delayed ICU admission show evidence of a more immune suppressive phenotype upon ICU admission when compared with blood leukocytes from patients directly transferred to the ICU.

BACKGROUNDIndividuals recovering from COVID-19 frequently experience persistent respiratory ailments, which are key elements of postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC); however, little is known about the underlying biological factors that may direct lung recovery and the extent to which these are affected by COVID-19 severity.METHODSWe performed a prospective cohort study of individuals with persistent symptoms after acute COVID-19, collecting clinical data, pulmonary function tests, and plasma samples used for multiplex profiling of inflammatory, metabolic, angiogenic, and fibrotic factors.RESULTSSixty-one participants were enrolled across 2 academic medical centers at a median of 9 weeks (interquartile range, 6-10 weeks) after COVID-19 illness: n = 13 participants (21%) had mild COVID-19 and were not hospitalized, n = 30 participants (49%) were hospitalized but were considered noncritical, and n = 18 participants (30%) were hospitalized and in the intensive care unit (ICU). Fifty-three participants (85%) had lingering symptoms, most commonly dyspnea (69%) and cough (58%). Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) declined as COVID-19 severity increased (P < 0.05) but these values did not correlate with respiratory symptoms. Partial least-squares discriminant analysis of plasma biomarker profiles clustered participants by past COVID-19 severity. Lipocalin-2 (LCN2), MMP-7, and HGF identified by our analysis were significantly higher in the ICU group (P < 0.05), inversely correlated with FVC and DLCO (P < 0.05), and were confirmed in a separate validation cohort (n = 53).CONCLUSIONSubjective respiratory symptoms are common after acute COVID-19 illness but do not correlate with COVID-19 severity or pulmonary function.

Abstract
In hosts with damaged or impaired immune systems such as those undergoing hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) or intensive chemotherapy, breakthrough fungal infections can be fatal. Risk factors for breakthrough infections include severe neutropenia, use of corticosteroids, extended use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, and intensive care unit admission. An individual's cumulative state of immunosuppression directly contributes to the likelihood of experiencing increased infection risk. Incidence of invasive fungal infection (IFI) after HCT may be up to 5-8%. Early intervention may improve IFI outcomes, although many infections are resistant to standard therapies (voriconazole, caspofungin, micafungin, amphotericin B, posaconazole or itraconazole, as single agents or in combination). We review herein several contributing factors that may contribute to the net state of immunosuppression in recipients of HCT. We also review a new approach for IFI utilizing adjunctive therapy with sargramostim, a yeast-derived recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhu GM-CSF).

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapies have demonstrated tissue repair and regeneration capacity in various preclinical models. These therapeutic effects have recently been largely attributed to the paracrine effects of the MSC secretome, including proteins and extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs are cell-secreted nano-sized vesicles with lipid bilayer membranes that facilitate cell–cell signaling. Treatments based on MSC-derived EVs are beginning to be explored as an alternative to MSC transplantation-based therapies. However, it remains to be determined which MSC source produces EVs with the greatest therapeutic potential. This review compares the tissue regeneration capacity of EVs isolated from the two most common clinical sources of adult MSCs, bone marrow and adipose tissue, with a particular focus on their angiogenic, osteogenic, and immunomodulatory potentials. Other important issues in the development of MSC-derived EV based therapies are also discussed.

Abstract
Accumulated evidence has demonstrated that the macrophage phenotypic switch from M0 to M1 is crucial in the initiation of the inflammatory process of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Better insight into the molecular control of M1 macrophages in ARDS may identify potential therapeutic targets. In the current study, 36 candidate genes associated with the severity of ARDS and simultaneously involved in M1-polarized macrophages were first screened through a weighted network algorithm on all gene expression profiles from the 26 ARDS patients and empirical Bayes analysis on the gene expression profiles of macrophages. STAT1, IFIH1, GBP1, IFIT3, and IRF1 were subsequently identified as hub genes according to connectivity degree analysis and multiple external validations. Among these candidate genes, IFIH1 had the strongest connection with ARDS through the RobustRankAggreg algorithm. It was selected as a crucial gene for further investigation. For in vitro validation, the RAW264.7 cell line and BMDMs were transfected with shIFIH1 lentivirus and plasmid expression vectors of IFIH1. Cellular experimental studies further confirmed that IFIH1 was a novel regulator for promoting M1 macrophage polarization. Moreover, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and in vitro validations indicated that IFIH1 regulated M1 polarization by activating IRF3. In addition, previous studies demonstrated that activation of IFIH1-IRF3 was stimulated by viral RNAs or RNA mimics. Surprisingly, the current study found that LPS could also induce IFIH1-IRF3 activation via a MyD88-dependent mechanism. We also found that only IFIH1 expression without LPS or RNA mimic stimulation could not affect IRF3 activation and M1 macrophage polarization. These findings were validated on two types of macrophages, RAW264.7 cells and BMDMs, which expanded the knowledge on the inflammatory roles of IFIH1 and IRF3, suggesting IFIH1 as a potential target for ARDS treatment.

Abstract
Background Evidences indicate that the balance between macrophage M1 and M2 polarization is essential for the regulation of pulmonary inflammation during mechanical ventilation (MV). Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a key component of the Hippo pathway and was suggested to regulate macrophage polarization. This study was designed to investigate whether YAP contributes to pulmonary inflammation during MV. Methods Wild-type and macrophage YAP knockout mice were mechanically ventilated for 12 hours to induce pulmonary injuries. At the end of MV, animals were sacrificed for pulmonary tissue collection and macrophage isolation. In addition, the induction of macrophage polarization was performed in isolated macrophages with or without YAP overexpression in vitro. Pulmonary injuries, YAP expression, macrophage polarization and cytokines were measured. Results Here, we show that MV induces lung injury together with pulmonary inflammation as well as upregulated YAP expressions in pulmonary macrophages. In addition, our results indicate that YAP deficiency in macrophages attenuates pulmonary injury, accompanied with decreased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL (interleukin)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). Moreover, both in vivo and in vitro studies indicate that YAP deficiency enhances M2 polarization while inhibits M1 polarization. In contrast, YAP overexpression inhibits the induction of M2 polarization but improves M1 polarization. Conclusion Our results report for the first time that the induction of YAP in macrophages contributes to pulmonary inflammation during MV through the regulation of M1/M2 polarization.

Abstract
Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is a risk factor for COPD. Our previous study revealed more severe emphysema in COPD patients (mostly smokers) with prior tuberculosis. However, the mechanisms of interactions between cigarette smoke (CS) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) are unknown. In this study, we found that the frequencies of both M1 and M2 macrophages, and levels of MMP9 and MMP12 in bronchoalveolar lavage were increased in PTB patients with smoking. Between-group analysis showed that the frequency of M1 macrophages was higher in non-smoker PTB patients while more M2 macrophages were found in smokers without PTB, as compared to the non-smoker healthy controls. Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) infection in CS extract (CSE)-incubated MH-S cells further enhanced secretion of M1-related (iNOS, IFN-γ and TNF-α) and M2-related (TGF-β and IL-10) cytokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and cellular apoptosis, concomitantly with up-regulation of MMP9 and MMP12, but not TIMP1. Moreover, BCG infection in acutely CS-exposed mice promoted macrophage polarization toward both M1 and M2 phenotypes, along with increased lung inflammatory infiltration. MMP9 and MMP12, but not TIMP1, were further up-regulated in lung tissues and BAL fluid after BCG infection in this model. Taken together, Mtb Infection promoted CS-exposed macrophages to polarize toward both M1 and M2 phenotypes, along with enhanced production of MMP9 and MMP12. These findings provide insights into the mechanistic interplay between CS exposure and tuberculosis in the pathogenesis of COPD.

Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Attenuate LPS-Induced ARDS by Modulating Macrophage Polarization Through Inhibiting Glycolysis in Macrophages. Shock 2020; 54:828-843.

Abstract
Macrophages play a key role in the development of sepsis-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Recent evidence has proved that glycolysis plays an important role in regulating macrophage polarization through metabolic reprogramming. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can alleviate sepsis-induced lung injury and possess potent immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive properties via secreting exosomes. However, it is unknown whether BMSCs-derived exosomes exert their therapeutic effect against sepsis-induced lung injury by inhibiting glycolysis in macrophages. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of exosomes released from BMSCs on acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice and explored the possible underlying mechanisms in vitro and in vivo. We found that BMSCs inhibited M1 polarization and promoted M2 polarization in MH-S cells (a murine alveolar macrophage cell line) by releasing exosomes. Further experiments showed that exosomes secreted by BMSCs modulated LPS-treated MH-S cells polarization by inhibiting cellular glycolysis. Moreover, our results showed that BMSCs-derived exosomes down-regulated the expression of several essential proteins of glycolysis via inhibition of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1)α. Finally, a model of LPS-induced ARDS in mice was established, we found that BMSCs-derived exosomes ameliorated the LPS-induced inflammation and lung pathological damage. Meanwhile, we found that intratracheal delivery of BMSCs-derived exosomes effectively down-regulated LPS-induced glycolysis in mice lung tissue. These findings reveal new mechanisms of BMSCs-derived exosomes in regulating macrophage polarization which may provide novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of LPS-induced ARDS.

Abstract
Airway epithelial cells and macrophages participate in inflammatory responses to external noxious stimuli, which can cause epithelial injury. Upon injury, epithelial cells and macrophages act in concert to ensure rapid restoration of epithelial integrity. The nature of the interactions between these cell types during epithelial repair is incompletely understood. We used an in vitro human coculture model of primary bronchial epithelial cells cultured at the air-liquid interface (ALI-PBEC) and polarized primary monocyte-derived macrophages. Using this coculture, we studied the contribution of macrophages to epithelial innate immunity, wound healing capacity, and epithelial exposure to whole cigarette smoke (WCS). Coculture of ALI-PBEC with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated M(GM-CSF) macrophages increased the expression of DEFB4A, CXCL8, and IL6 at 24 h in the ALI-PBEC, whereas LPS-activated M(M-CSF) macrophages only increased epithelial IL6 expression. Furthermore, wound repair was accelerated by coculture with both activated M(GM-CSF) and M(M-CSF) macrophages, also following WCS exposure. Coculture of ALI-PBEC and M(GM-CSF) macrophages resulted in increased CAMP expression in M(GM-CSF) macrophages, which was absent in M(M-CSF) macrophages. CAMP encodes LL-37, an antimicrobial peptide with immune-modulating and repair-enhancing activities. In conclusion, dynamic crosstalk between ALI-PBEC and macrophages enhances epithelial innate immunity and wound repair, even upon concomitant cigarette smoke exposure.
