Abstract
Remote organ injury, which is a common secondary complication of sterile tissue damage, is a major cause of poor prognosis and is difficult to manage. Here, we report the critical role of tissue-resident macrophages in lung injury after trauma or stroke through the inflammatory response. We found that depleting tissue-resident macrophages rather than disrupting the recruitment of monocyte-derived macrophages attenuated lung injury after trauma or stroke. Our findings revealed that the release of circulating alarmins from sites of distant sterile tissue damage triggered an inflammatory response in lung-resident macrophages by binding to receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) on the membrane, which activated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Mechanistically, ligand-activated RAGE triggered EGFR activation through an interaction, leading to Rab5-mediated RAGE internalization and EGFR phosphorylation, which subsequently recruited and activated P38; this, in turn, promoted RAGE translation and trafficking to the plasma membrane to increase the cellular response to RAGE ligands, consequently exacerbating inflammation. Our study also showed that the loss of RAGE or EGFR expression by adoptive transfer of macrophages, blocking the function of RAGE with a neutralizing antibody, or pharmacological inhibition of EGFR activation in macrophages could protect against trauma- or stroke-induced remote lung injury. Therefore, our study revealed that targeting the RAGE-EGFR signaling pathway in tissue-resident macrophages is a potential therapeutic approach for treating secondary complications of sterile damage.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2023; 10:e2204881.

Abstract
Increasing O2 demand and excessive ROS production are the main features of arthritic microenvironment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) joints and further play pivotal roles in inflammation exacerbation. In this work, a system of in situ regulation of arthritic microenvironment based on nanomotor strategy is proposed for active RA therapy. The synthesized MnO2 -motors enable catalytic regulation of RA microenvironment by consuming the overproduced H2 O2 and generating O2 synergistically. The generated O2 under H2 O2 -rich conditions functions as inflammation detector, propellant for enhanced diffusion, as well as ameliorator for the hypoxic synovial microenvironment. Owing to O2 generation and inflammation scavenging, the MnO2 -motors block the re-polarization of pro-inflammatory macrophages, which results in significantly decreased secretion of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, intra-articular administration of MnO2 -motors to collagen-induced arthritis rats (CIA rats) effectively alleviates hypoxia, synovial inflammation, bone erosion, and cartilage degradation in joints. Therefore, the proposed arthritic regulation strategy shows great potential to seamlessly integrate basic research of RA with clinical translation.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) refers to a group of common clinical syndromes characterized by acute renal dysfunction, which may lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD), and this process is called the AKI-CKD transition. The transcriptional coactivator YAP can promote the AKI-CKD transition by regulating the expression of profibrotic factors, and 14-3-3 protein zeta (14-3-3ζ), an important regulatory protein of YAP, may prevent the AKI-CKD transition. We established an AKI-CKD model in mice by unilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion injury and overexpressed 14-3-3ζ in mice using a fluid dynamics-based gene transfection technique. We also overexpressed and knocked down 14-3-3ζ in vitro. In AKI-CKD model mice, 14-3-3ζ expression was significantly increased at the AKI stage. During the development of chronic disease, the expression of 14-3-3ζ tended to decrease, whereas active YAP was consistently overexpressed. In vitro, we found that 14-3-3ζ can combine with YAP, promote the phosphorylation of YAP, inhibit YAP nuclear translocation, and reduce the expression of fibrosis-related proteins. In an in vivo intervention experiment, we found that the overexpression of 14-3-3ζ slowed the process of renal fibrosis in a mouse model of AKI-CKD. These findings suggest that 14-3-3ζ can affect the expression of fibrosis-related proteins by regulating YAP, inhibit the maladaptive repair of renal tubular epithelial cells, and prevent the AKI-CKD transition.

Abstract
Jinwu Gutong capsule (JGC) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). Synovitis is a typical pathological change in OA and promotes disease progression. Elucidating the therapeutic mechanism of JGC is crucial for the precise treatment of OA synovitis. In this study, we demonstrate that JGC effectively inhibits hyperproliferation, attenuates inflammation, and promotes apoptosis of synovial cells. Through scRNA-seq data analysis of OA synovitis, we dissected two distinct cell fates that influence disease progression (one fate led to recovery while the other fate resulted in deterioration), which illustrates the principles of fate determination. By intersecting JGC targets with synovitis hub genes and then mimicking picomolar affinity interactions between bioactive compounds and binding pockets, we found that the quercetin-AKR1C3 pair exhibited the best affinity, indicating that this pair constitutes the most promising molecular mechanism. In vitro experiments confirmed that the expression of AKR1C3 in synovial cells was reduced after JGC addition. Further overexpression of AKR1C3 significantly attenuated the therapeutic efficacy of JGC. Thus, we revealed that JGC effectively treats OA synovitis by inhibiting AKR1C3 expression.

Identification of Molecules Responsible for Therapeutic Effects of Extracellular Vesicles Produced from iPSC-Derived MSCs on Sjo¨gren's Syndrome. Aging Dis 2021; 12:1409-1422.

Abstract
Recent research indicated that extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are a promising alternative to MSCs for immunomodulatory therapy. However, the contents of MSC-EVs would change as their parent MSCs change, hence the therapeutic efficacy of MSC-derived EVs (MSC-EVs) would largely depend on donors, tissue sources and culture conditions of MSCs. To overcome limitations of tissue-derived MSCs, we previously used MSCs derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iMSCs) to produce EVs and demonstrated their therapeutic potential in a mouse model of secondary Sjo¨gren's Syndrome. Here, we further found that EVs from early-passage iMSCs had better immunomodulatory potency than EVs from late-passage iMSCs in TLR4-stimulated splenocytes and in a mouse model of primary Sjögren's syndrome. Comparative molecular profiling using proteomics and microRNA sequencing revealed distinctive molecular profiles of iMSC-EVs with or without immunomodulation capacity. Amongst them, manipulation of TGF-β1, miR-21 and miR-125b levels in iMSC-EVs significantly affected their immunosuppressive effects. These findings would help improve our understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying iMSC-EV-mediated immunomodulation and further provide strategies to improve regulatory function of EVs for the treatment of immune-mediated diseases.

Abstract
Inflammatory arthritis (IA) is a common disease that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Proinflammatory events during IA pathogenesis are well studied; however, loss of protective immunity remains underexplored. Earlier, we reported that 14-3-3zeta (ζ) has a role in T-cell polarization and interleukin (IL)-17A signal transduction. Here, we demonstrate that 14-3-3ζ knockout (KO) rats develop early-onset severe arthritis in two independent models of IA, pristane-induced arthritis and collagen-induced arthritis. Arthritic 14-3-3ζ KO animals showed an increase in bone loss and immune cell infiltration in synovial joints. Induction of arthritis coincided with the loss of anti-14-3-3ζ antibodies; however, rescue experiments to supplement the 14-3-3ζ antibody by passive immunization did not suppress arthritis. Instead, 14-3-3ζ immunization during the presymptomatic phase resulted in significant suppression of arthritis in both wild-type and 14-3-3ζ KO animals. Mechanistically, 14-3-3ζ KO rats exhibited elevated inflammatory gene signatures at the messenger RNA and protein levels, particularly for IL-1β. Furthermore, the immunization with recombinant 14-3-3ζ protein suppressed IL-1β levels, significantly increased anti-14-3-3ζ antibody levels and collagen production, and preserved bone quality. The 14-3-3ζ protein increased collagen expression in primary rat mesenchymal cells. Together, our findings indicate that 14-3-3ζ causes immune suppression and extracellular remodeling, which lead to a previously unrecognized IA-suppressive function.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease affecting joints and causing progressive damage and disability. Macrophages are of critical importance in the initiation and perpetuation of synovitis in RA, they can function as antigen presenting cells leading to T-cell dependent B-cell activation, assume a variety of inflammatory cell states with the production of destructive cytokines, but also contribute to tissue homeostasis/repair. The recent development of high-throughput technologies, including bulk and single cells RNA-sequencing, has broadened our understanding of synovial cell diversity, and opened novel perspectives to the discovery of new potential therapeutic targets in RA. In this review, we will focus on the relationship between the synovial macrophage infiltration and clinical disease severity and response to treatment. We will then provide a state-of-the-art picture of the biological roles of synovial macrophages and distinct macrophage subsets described in RA. Finally, we will review the effects of approved conventional and biologic drugs on the synovial macrophage component and highlight the therapeutic potential of future strategies to re-program macrophage phenotypes in RA.

Abstract
Dysfunction of the immune system underlies a plethora of human diseases, requiring the development of immunomodulatory therapeutic intervention. To date, most strategies employed have been focusing on the modification of T lymphocytes, and although remarkable improvement has been obtained, results often fall short of the intended outcome. Recent cutting-edge technologies have highlighted macrophages as potential targets for disease control. Macrophages play central roles in development, homeostasis and host defence, and their dysfunction and dysregulation have been implicated in the onset and pathogenesis of multiple disorders including cancer, neurodegeneration, autoimmunity and metabolic diseases. Recent advancements have led to a greater understanding of macrophage origin, diversity and function, in both health and disease. Over the last few years, a variety of strategies targeting macrophages have been developed and these open new therapeutic opportunities. Here, we review the progress in macrophage reprogramming in various disorders and discuss the potential implications and challenges for macrophage-targeted approaches in human disease.

Abstract
The risk for breast cancer is significantly reduced in persons who engage in greater amounts of physical activity, and greater physical activity before or after diagnosis associates with reduced disease-specific mortality. Previous mechanistic studies indicate that components of innate immunity can mediate an inhibitory effect of physical activity on several types of tumor. However, in breast cancer specifically, the myeloid compartment of innate immunity is thought to exhibit high propensity for an immunosuppressive role that obstructs anti-tumor immunity. Thus, we tested the notion that greater physical activity alters mononuclear phagocytes in mammary tissue when inhibiting nascent tumor in a murine model of breast cancer. To model greater physical activity, we placed an angled running wheel in each mouse's home cage for two weeks before tumor engraftment with EO771 mammary cancer cells that express luciferase for bioluminescent detection. Fully immunocompetent mice and mice with compromised adaptive immunity showed significantly less mammary tumor signal when given access to running wheels, although the effect size was smaller in this latter group. To investigate the role of the myeloid compartment, mononuclear phagocytes were ablated by systemic injection of clodronate liposomes at 24 h before tumor engraftment and again at the time of tumor engraftment, and this treatment reversed the inhibition in wheel running mice. However, clodronate also inhibited mammary tumor signal in sedentary mice, in conjunction with an expected decrease in gene and protein expression of the myeloid antigen, F4/80 (Adgre1), in mammary tissue. Whole transcriptome digital cytometry with CIBERSORTx was used to analyze myeloid cell populations in mammary tissue following voluntary wheel running and clodronate treatment, and this approach found significant changes in macrophage and monocyte populations. In exploratory analyses, whole transcriptome composite scores for monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cell (M-MDSC), macrophage lactate timer, and inflammation resolution gene expression programs were significantly altered. Altogether, the results support the hypothesis that physical activity inhibits nascent mammary tumor growth by enhancing the anti-tumor potential of mononuclear phagocytes in mammary tissue.
