Mitochondrial DNA mutations attenuate Bleomycin-induced dermal fibrosis by inhibiting differentiation into myofibroblasts. Matrix Biol 2024; 132:72-86. [PMID: 39009171 DOI: 10.1016/j.matbio.2024.07.002] [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: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
Post-mitotic, non-proliferative dermal fibroblasts have crucial functions in maintenance and restoration of tissue homeostasis. They are involved in essential processes such as wound healing, pigmentation and hair growth, but also tumor development and aging-associated diseases. These processes are energetically highly demanding and error prone when mitochondrial damage occurs. However, mitochondrial function in fibroblasts and the influence of mitochondrial dysfunction on fibroblast-specific demands are still unclear. To address these questions, we created a mouse model in which accelerated cell-specific mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage accumulates. We crossed mice carrying a dominant-negative mutant of the mitochondrial replicative helicase Twinkle (RosaSTOP system) with mice that express fibroblast-specific Cre Recombinase (Collagen1A2 CreERT) which can be activated by Tamoxifen (TwinkleFIBRO). Thus, we are able to induce mtDNA deletions and duplications in specific cells, a process which resembles the physiological aging process in humans, where this damage accumulates in all tissues. Upon proliferation in vitro, Tamoxifen induced Twinkle fibroblasts deplete most of their mitochondrial DNA which, although not disturbing the stoichiometry of the respiratory chain complexes, leads to reduced ROS production and mitochondrial membrane potential as well as an anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic profile of the cells. In Sodium Azide treated wildtype fibroblasts, without a functioning respiratory chain, we observe the opposite, a rather pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic signature. Upon accumulation of mitochondrial DNA mutations in vivo the TwinkleFIBRO mice are protected from fibrosis development induced by intradermal Bleomycin injections. This is due to dampened differentiation of the dermal fibroblasts into α-smooth-muscle-actin positive myofibroblasts in TwinkleFIBRO mice. We thus provide evidence for striking differences of the impact that mtDNA mutations have in contrast to blunted mitochondrial function in dermal fibroblasts and skin homeostasis. These data contribute to improved understanding of mitochondrial function and dysfunction in skin and provide mechanistic insight into potential targets to treat skin fibrosis in the future.

Abstract
After rotator cuff injuries, uncontrolled inflammation hinders tendon-bone junction regeneration and induces scar formation in situ. Therefore, precisely controlling inflammation could be a solution to accelerate tendon-bone junction regeneration. In this study, we synthesized a peptide-metal ion complex hydrogel with thermosensitive capability that can be used as a hydrogel chemical regulator. By the coordination complex between Mg2+ and BMP-12, the free and coordinated Mg2+ can be programmability released from the hydrogel. The fast release of free Mg2+ can prevent inflammation at the early stage of injuries, according to the results of RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence staining. Then, the coordinated Mg2+ was slowly released from the hydrogel and provided an anti-inflammatory environment for tendon-bone junction regeneration in the long term. Finally, the hydrogel demonstrated enhanced therapeutic effects in a rat rotator cuff tear model. Overall, the Mg2+/BMP-12 peptide-metal ion complex-based hydrogel effectively addresses the regenerative requirements of the tendon-bone junction across various stages by graded modulating inflammation.

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

Abstract
Epithelial and immune cells have long been appreciated for their contribution to the early immune response after injury; however, much less is known about the role of mesenchymal cells. Using single nuclei RNA-sequencing, we defined changes in gene expression associated with inflammation at 1-day post-wounding (dpw) in mouse skin. Compared to keratinocytes and myeloid cells, we detected enriched expression of pro-inflammatory genes in fibroblasts associated with deeper layers of the skin. In particular, SCA1+ fibroblasts were enriched for numerous chemokines, including CCL2, CCL7, and IL33 compared to SCA1- fibroblasts. Genetic deletion of Ccl2 in fibroblasts resulted in fewer wound bed macrophages and monocytes during injury-induced inflammation with reduced revascularization and re-epithelialization during the proliferation phase of healing. These findings highlight the important contribution of deep skin fibroblast-derived factors to injury-induced inflammation and the impact of immune cell dysregulation on subsequent tissue repair.

Abstract
The interactions between vascular cells, especially endothelial cells, and macrophages play a pivotal role in maintaining the subtle balance of vascular biology, which is crucial for angiogenesis in both healthy and diseased states. These cells are central to ensuring a harmonious balance between tissue repair and preventing excessive angiogenic activity, which could lead to pathological conditions. Recent advances in sophisticated genetic engineering vivo models and novel sequencing approaches, such as single-cell RNA-sequencing, in immunobiology have significantly enhanced our understanding of the gene expression and behavior of macrophages. These insights offer new perspectives on the role macrophages play not only in development but also across various health conditions. In this review, we explore the complex interactions between multiple types of macrophages and endothelium, focusing on their impact on new blood vessel formation. By understanding these intricate interactions, we aim to provide insights into new methods for managing angiogenesis in various diseases, thereby offering hope for the development of novel therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds (DWs) are open sores that can occur anywhere on a diabetic patient's body. They are often complicated by infections, hypoxia, oxidative stress, hyperglycemia, and reduced growth factors and nucleic acids. The healing process involves four phases: homeostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, regulated by various cellular and molecular events. Numerous genes and signaling pathways such as VEGF, TGF-β, NF-κB, PPAR-γ, MMPs, IGF, FGF, PDGF, EGF, NOX, TLR, JAK-STAT, PI3K-Akt, MAPK, ERK, JNK, p38, Wnt/β-catenin, Hedgehog, Notch, Hippo, FAK, Integrin, and Src pathways are involved in these events. These pathways and genes are often dysregulated in DWs leading to impaired healing. The present review sheds light on the pathogenesis, healing process, signaling pathways, and genes involved in DW. Further, various therapeutic strategies that target these pathways and genes via nanotechnology are also discussed. Additionally, clinical trials on DW related to gene therapy are also covered in the present review.

Abstract
The skin, being the largest organ of the human body, is susceptible to damage resulting in wounds that are vulnerable to pathogenic attacks and fail to provide effective protection for internal tissues. Therefore, it is crucial to expedite wound healing. In recent years, microneedles have garnered significant attention as an innovative drug delivery system owing to their noninvasive and painless administration, simplified application process, precise control over drug release, and versatile loading capabilities. Consequently, they hold immense potential for the treatment of skin wound. This review presents a comprehensive design strategy for the microneedle system in promoting skin wound healing. First, the process of skin wound healing and the characteristics of specific wounds are elucidated. The design strategies for microneedles are subsequently presented and classified based on their structural and therapeutic methodologies. Finally, a succinct recapitulation of the previously discussed points and a prospective analysis are provided.

Abstract
Significance: The incidence of diabetes continues to rise throughout the world in an alarming rate. Diabetic patients often develop diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), many of which do not heal. Non-healing DFUs are a major cause of hospitalization, amputation, and increased morbidity. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of impaired healing in DFU is crucial for its management. Recent Advances: This review focuses on the recent advancements on macrophages and neutrophils in diabetic wounds and DFUs. In particular, we discuss diabetes-induced dysregulations and dysfunctions of macrophages and neutrophils . Critical Issues: It is well established that diabetic wounds are characterized by stalled inflammation that results in impaired healing. Recent findings in the field suggest that dysregulation of macrophages and neutrophils plays a critical role in impaired healing in DFUs. The delineation of mechanisms that restore macrophage and neutrophil function in diabetic wound healing is the focus of intense investigation. Future Directions: The breadth of recently generated knowledge on the activity of macrophages and neutrophils in diabetic wound healing is impressive. Experimental models have delineated pathways that hold promise for the treatment of diabetic wounds and DFUs. These pathways may be useful targets for further clinical investigation.

Abstract
Lipids have emerged as potent regulators of immune cell function. In the skin, adipocyte lipolysis increases the local pool of free fatty acids and is essential for coordinating early macrophage inflammation following injury. Here, we investigate G-protein-coupled receptor 84 (GPR84), a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) receptor, for its potential to propagate pro-inflammatory signaling after skin injury. GPR84 signaling was identified as a key component of regulating myeloid cell numbers and subsequent tissue repair through in vivo administration of a pharmacological antagonist and the MCFA decanoic acid. We found that impaired injury-induced dermal adipocyte lipolysis is a hallmark of diabetes, and lipidomic analysis demonstrated that MCFAs are significantly reduced in diabetic murine wounds. Furthermore, local administration of decanoic acid rescued myeloid cell numbers and tissue repair during diabetic wound healing. Thus, GPR84 is a readily targetable lipid signaling pathway for manipulating injury-induced tissue inflammation with beneficial effects on acute diabetic healing.

Abstract
Diabetes often results in chronic ulcers that fail to heal. Effective treatment for diabetic wounds has not been achieved, although stem-cell-treatment has shown promise. Hair-follicle-associated-pluripotent (HAP)-stem-cells from bulge area of mouse hair follicle have been shown to differentiate into keratinocytes, vascular endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and some other types of cells. In the present study, we developed HAP-cell-sheets to determine their effects on wound healing in type-2 diabetes mellitus (db/db) C57BL/6 mouse model. Flow cytometry analysis showed cytokeratin 15 expression in 64% of cells and macrophage expression in 3.6% of cells in HAP-cell-sheets. A scratch cell migration assay in vitro showed the ability of fibroblasts to migrate and proliferate was enhanced when co-cultured with HAP-cell-sheets. To investigate in vivo effects of the HAP-cell-sheets, they were implanted into 10 mm circular full-thickness resection wounds made on the back of db/db mice. Wound closure was facilitated in the implanted group until day 16. The thickness of epithelium and granulation tissue volume at day 7 were significantly increased by the implantation. CD68 positive area and TGF-β1 positive area were significantly increased; meanwhile, iNOS positive area was reduced at day 7 in the HAP-cell-sheets implanted group. After 21 days, CD68 positive areas in the implanted group were reduced to under the control group level, and TGF-β1 positive area had no difference between the two groups. These observations strongly suggest that the HAP-cell-sheets implantation is efficient to facilitate early macrophage activity and to suppress inflammation level. Using immuno-double-staining against CD34 and α-SMA, we found more vigorous angiogenesis in the implanted wound tissue. The present results suggest autologous HAP-cell-sheets can be used to heal refractory diabetic ulcers and have clinical promise.

Orchestration of Macrophage Polarization Dynamics by Fibroblast-Secreted Exosomes during Skin Wound Healing. J Invest Dermatol 2024:S0022-202X(24)00445-7. [PMID: 38838771 DOI: 10.1016/j.jid.2024.05.007] [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: 02/12/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
Macrophages undertake pivotal yet dichotomous functions during skin wound healing, mediating both early proinflammatory immune activation and late anti-inflammatory tissue remodeling processes. The timely phenotypic transition of macrophages from inflammatory M1 to proresolving M2 activation states is essential for efficient healing. However, the endogenous mechanisms calibrating macrophage polarization in accordance with the evolving tissue milieu remain undefined. In this study, we reveal an indispensable immunomodulatory role for fibroblast-secreted exosomes in directing macrophage activation dynamics. Fibroblast-derived exosomes permitted spatiotemporal coordination of macrophage phenotypes independent of direct intercellular contact. Exosomes enhanced macrophage sensitivity to both M1 and M2 polarizing stimuli, yet they also accelerated timely switching from M1 to M2 phenotypes. Exosome inhibition dysregulated macrophage responses, resulting in aberrant inflammation and impaired healing, whereas provision of exogenous fibroblast-derived exosomes corrected defects. Topical application of fibroblast-derived exosomes onto chronic diabetic wounds normalized dysregulated macrophage activation to resolve inflammation and restore productive healing. Our findings elucidate fibroblast-secreted exosomes as remote programmers of macrophage polarization that calibrate immunological transitions essential for tissue repair. Harnessing exosomes represents a previously unreported approach to steer productive macrophage activation states with immense therapeutic potential for promoting healing in chronic inflammatory disorders.

Abstract
Effective tissue repair relies on the orchestration of different macrophage phenotypes, both the M2 phenotype (promotes tissue repair) and M1 phenotype (pro-inflammatory) deserve attention. In this study, we propose a sequential immune activation strategy to mediate bone regeneration, by loading lipopolysaccharide (LPS) onto the surface of a strontium (Sr) ions -contained composite scaffold, which was fabricated by combining Sr-doped micro/nano-hydroxyapatite (HA) and dual degradable matrices of polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA). Our strategy involves the sequential release of LPS to promote macrophage homing and induce the expression of the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype, followed by the release of Sr ions to suppress inflammation. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that, the appropriate pro-inflammatory effects at the initial stage of implantation, along with the anti-inflammatory effects at the later stage, as well as the structural stability of the scaffolds conferred by the composition, can synergistically promote the regeneration and repair of bone defects.

Abstract
Extensive bone fractures, which can seriously impact both health and quality of life, cannot easily heal naturally, especially if the patient has an underlying medical condition or is aging. The most promising approach to addressing such fractures is bone regeneration through bone tissue engineering. Bone regeneration is a complex process that consists of three distinct phases: inflammation, repair, and remodeling. Macrophages play a bridging role between the various cells involved in each stage of bone regeneration, interacting with different microenvironments and advancing the bone healing process. Although the origin and function of macrophages have been extensively studied, the mechanisms underlying their interaction with the bone healing microenvironment remain unexplored, including the association of microenvironmental changes with macrophage reprogramming and the role of macrophages in cells in the microenvironment. This review summarizes the bone regeneration process and recent advances in research on interactions between macrophages and the bone healing microenvironment and discusses novel biological strategies to promote bone regeneration by modulating macrophages for the treatment of bone injury and loss.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds has a gradually increasing incidence and morbidity. Excessive inflammation due to immune imbalance leads to delayed wound healing. Here, we reveal the interconnection between activation of the NLRP3 inflammatory pathway in endotheliocyte and polarization of macrophages via the cGAS-STING pathway in the oxidative microenvironment. To enhance the immune-regulation based on repairing mitochondrial oxidative damage, a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 coated with cerium dioxide that carries Rhoassociated protein kinase inhibition Y-27632 (CeO2-Y@ZIF-8) is developed. It is encapsulated in a photocross-linkable hydrogel (GelMA) with cationic quaternary ammonium salt groups modified to endow the antibacterial properties (CeO2-Y@ZIF-8@Gel). CeO2 with superoxide dismutase and catalase activities can remove excess reactive oxygen species to limit mitochondrial damage and Y-27632 can repair damaged mitochondrial DNA, thus improving the proliferation of endotheliocyte. After endotheliocyte uptakes CeO2-Y@ZIF-8 NPs to degrade peroxides into water and oxygen in cells and mitochondria, NLRP3 inflammatory pathway is inhibited and the leakage of oxidatively damaged mitochondrial DNA (Ox-mtDNA, a damage-associated molecular pattern) through mPTP decreases. Futhermore, as the cGAS-STING pathway activated by Ox-mtDNA down-regulated, the M2 phenotype polarization and anti-inflammatory factors increase. Collectively, CeO2-Y@ZIF-8@Gel, through remodulating the crosstalk between macrophage reprogramming and angiogenesis to alleviate inflammation in the microenvironment and accelerates wound healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is a global health problem whose common complication is diabetic cardiomyopathy, characterized by chronic inflammation of the heart muscle. Macrophages are the main white blood cells found in the resting heart. Therefore, we investigated the underling mechanism of macrophage on myocardial fibrosis in diabetes. METHODS Here, echocardiography was utilized to evaluate cardiac function, and the degree of myocardial fibrosis was assessed using Masson's trichrome staining, followed by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze the phenotype, function, developmental trajectory, and interactions between immune cells, endothelial cells (ECs), and fibroblasts (FBs) in the hearts of db/db mice at different stages of diabetes. Macrophages and cardiac fibroblasts were also co-cultured in order to study the signaling between macrophages and fibroblasts. RESULTS We found that with the development of diabetes mellitus, myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis occurred that was accompanied by cardiac dysfunction. A significant proportion of immune cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts were identified by RNA sequencing. The most significant changes observed were in macrophages, which undergo M1 polarization and are critical for oxidative stress and extracellular matrix (ECM) formation. We further found that M1 macrophages secreted interleukin-1β (IL-1β), which interacted with the receptor on the surface of fibroblasts, to cause myocardial fibrosis. In addition, crosstalk between M1 macrophages and endothelial cells also plays a key role in fibrosis and immune response regulation through IL-1β and corresponding receptors. CONCLUSIONS M1 macrophages mediate diabetic myocardial fibrosis through interleukin-1β interaction with fibroblasts.

Abstract
Inflammation is an essential immune response critical for responding to infection, injury and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Upon injury, regenerative inflammation promotes tissue repair by a timed and coordinated infiltration of diverse cell types and the secretion of growth factors, cytokines and lipids mediators. Remarkably, throughout evolution as well as mammalian development, this type of physiological inflammation is highly associated with immunosuppression. For instance, regenerative inflammation is the consequence of an in situ macrophage polarization resulting in a transition from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory/pro-regenerative response. Immune cells are the first responders upon injury, infiltrating the damaged tissue and initiating a pro-inflammatory response depleting cell debris and necrotic cells. After phagocytosis, macrophages undergo multiple coordinated metabolic and transcriptional changes allowing the transition and dictating the initiation of the regenerative phase. Differences between a highly efficient, complete ad integrum tissue repair, such as, acute skeletal muscle injury, and insufficient regenerative inflammation, as the one developing in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), highlight the importance of a coordinated response orchestrated by immune cells. During regenerative inflammation, these cells interact with others and alter the niche, affecting the character of inflammation itself and, therefore, the progression of tissue repair. Comparing acute muscle injury and chronic inflammation in DMD, we review how the same cells and molecules in different numbers, concentration and timing contribute to very different outcomes. Thus, it is important to understand and identify the distinct functions and secreted molecules of macrophages, and potentially other immune cells, during tissue repair, and the contributors to the macrophage switch leveraging this knowledge in treating diseases.

Abstract
Despite significant progress in modern medicine and pharmacology, damage to the nervous system with various etiologies still poses a challenge to doctors and scientists. Injuries lead to neuroimmunological changes in the central nervous system (CNS), which may result in both secondary damage and the development of tactile and thermal hypersensitivity. In our review, based on the analysis of many experimental and clinical studies, we indicate that the mechanisms occurring both at the level of the brain after direct damage and at the level of the spinal cord after peripheral nerve damage have a common immunological basis. This suggests that there are opportunities for similar pharmacological therapeutic interventions in the damage of various etiologies. Experimental data indicate that after CNS/PNS damage, the levels of 16 among the 28 CC-family chemokines, i.e., CCL1, CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CCL6, CCL7, CCL8, CCL9, CCL11, CCL12, CCL17, CCL19, CCL20, CCL21, and CCL22, increase in the brain and/or spinal cord and have strong proinflammatory and/or pronociceptive effects. According to the available literature data, further investigation is still needed for understanding the role of the remaining chemokines, especially six of them which were found in humans but not in mice/rats, i.e., CCL13, CCL14, CCL15, CCL16, CCL18, and CCL23. Over the past several years, the results of studies in which available pharmacological tools were used indicated that blocking individual receptors, e.g., CCR1 (J113863 and BX513), CCR2 (RS504393, CCX872, INCB3344, and AZ889), CCR3 (SB328437), CCR4 (C021 and AZD-2098), and CCR5 (maraviroc, AZD-5672, and TAK-220), has beneficial effects after damage to both the CNS and PNS. Recently, experimental data have proved that blockades exerted by double antagonists CCR1/3 (UCB 35625) and CCR2/5 (cenicriviroc) have very good anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects. In addition, both single (J113863, RS504393, SB328437, C021, and maraviroc) and dual (cenicriviroc) chemokine receptor antagonists enhanced the analgesic effect of opioid drugs. This review will display the evidence that a multidirectional strategy based on the modulation of neuronal-glial-immune interactions can significantly improve the health of patients after CNS and PNS damage by changing the activity of chemokines belonging to the CC family. Moreover, in the case of pain, the combined administration of such antagonists with opioid drugs could reduce therapeutic doses and minimize the risk of complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tibial Cortex Transverse Transport (TTT) represents an innovative surgical method for treating lower extremity diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), yet its underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Establishing an animal model that closely mirrors clinical scenarios is both critical and novel for elucidating the mechanisms of TTT. METHODS We established a diabetic rat model with induced hindlimb ischemia to mimic the clinical manifestation of DFUs. TTT was applied using an external fixator for regulated bone movement. Treatment efficacy was evaluated through wound healing assessments, histological analyses, and immunohistochemical techniques to elucidate biological processes. RESULTS The TTT group demonstrated expedited wound healing, improved skin tissue regeneration, and diminished inflammation relative to controls. Marked neovascularization and upregulation of angiogenic factors were observed, with the HIF-1α/SDF-1/CXCR4 pathway and an increase in EPCs being pivotal in these processes. A transition toward anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages indicated TTT's immunomodulatory capacity. CONCLUSION Our innovative rat model effectively demonstrates the therapeutic potential of TTT in treating DFUs. We identified TTT's roles in promoting angiogenesis and modulating the immune system. This paves the way for further in-depth research and potential clinical applications to improve DFU management strategies.

Abstract
Microvesicles (MVs) serve as biomarkers and transmitters for cell communication and also act as essential contributors to diseases. Platelets release microvesicles when activated voluntarily, making them a significant source. Platelet-derived microvesicles possess a range of characteristics similar to their parent cells and were shown to exert regulatory impacts on vascular and immunological cells. MVs can alter the activity of recipient cells by transferring their internal components. Furthermore, it has been identified that microvesicles derived from platelets possess the ability to exert immunomodulatory effects on different kinds of cells. Recent research has shown that microvesicles have a bidirectional influence of harming and preventing the receptor cells. Nevertheless, the specific characteristics of the active molecules responsible for this phenomenon are still unknown. The primary focus of this review was to explore the mechanism of vascular tissue regeneration and the specific molecules that play a role in mediating various biological effects throughout this process. These molecules exert their effects by influencing autophagy, apoptosis, and inflammatory pathways.

Abstract
Tendon injuries, a common musculoskeletal issue, usually result in adhesions to the surrounding tissue, that will impact functional recovery. Macrophages, particularly through their M1 and M2 polarizations, play a pivotal role in the inflammatory and healing phases of tendon repair. In this review, we explore the role of macrophage polarization in tendon healing, focusing on insights from animal models. The review delves into the complex interplay of macrophages in tendon pathology, detailing how various macrophage phenotypes contribute to both healing and adhesion formation. It also explores the potential of modulating macrophage activity to enhance tendon repair and minimize adhesions. With advancements in understanding macrophage behavior and the development of innovative biomaterials, this review highlights promising therapeutic strategies for tendon injuries.

Abstract
Obesity is associated with low-grade chronic inflammation and impaired glucose metabolism, both of which are detrimental to wound healing. C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) plays an important role in cell recruitment during healing, and our recent studies revealed the significance of CCR2-CCL2 signaling in promoting the proliferation of pro-inflammatory monocytes/macrophages in wounds. Therefore, we sought to determine whether diet-induced obesity increases monocyte/macrophage proliferation and their accumulation in skin wounds. We first confirmed that wound closure was delayed in obese CCR2RFP/+ mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD) compared to mice fed with a normal diet (ND). Using in vivo imaging and flow cytometry analysis, we found that HFD mice had significantly increased accumulation of CCR2+ monocytes/macrophages, particularly pro-inflammatory CCR2+Ly6C+ cells in wounds compared to their ND counterparts. Importantly, HFD mice exhibited an increased proliferation of wound CCR2+Ly6C+ compared to ND mice. Together, our data suggest that obesity leads to an increased proliferation and accumulation of pro-inflammatory CCR2+Ly6C+ monocytes/macrophages in skin wounds, which may contribute to delayed healing.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds pose a significant challenge to public health, primarily due to insufficient blood vessel supply, bacterial infection, excessive oxidative stress, and impaired antioxidant defenses. The aforementioned condition not only places a significant physical burden on patients' prognosis, but also amplifies the economic strain on the medical system in treating diabetic wounds. Currently, the effectiveness of available treatments for diabetic wounds is limited. However, there is hope in the potential of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) to address these issues. MNPs exhibit excellent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial and pro-angiogenic properties, making them a promising solution for diabetic wounds. In addition, MNPs stimulate the expression of proteins that promote wound healing and serve as drug delivery systems for small-molecule drugs. By combining MNPs with other biomaterials such as hydrogels and chitosan, novel dressings can be developed and revolutionize the treatment of diabetic wounds. The present article provides a comprehensive overview of the research progress on the utilization of MNPs for treating diabetic wounds. Building upon this foundation, we summarize the underlying mechanisms involved in diabetic wound healing and discuss the potential application of MNPs as biomaterials for drug delivery. Furthermore, we provide an extensive analysis and discussion on the clinical implementation of dressings, while also highlighting future prospects for utilizing MNPs in diabetic wound management. In conclusion, MNPs represent a promising strategy for the treatment of diabetic wound healing. Future directions include combining other biological nanomaterials to synthesize new biological dressings or utilizing the other physicochemical properties of MNPs to promote wound healing. Synthetic biomaterials that contain MNPs not only play a role in all stages of diabetic wound healing, but also provide a stable physiological environment for the wound-healing process.

Abstract
Previous studies have revealed that activated charcoal sorption of Chinese herbal extracts is more effective than activated charcoal. The present study was designed to investigate whether phenols and flavonoids have an effect on nutrient metabolism, antioxidant activity, immunity, and intestinal morphology in broilers. Seven diets [basal diet (CON); CON supplemented with 450 mg/kg of activated charcoal (AC); CON supplemented with 250, 500, 750, 1,000, or 7,500 mg/kg of phenolic acids and flavonoids (PF) to AC (PFAC)]. PFAC was the complex of AC sorption of PF in the ratio of 9:1. These dietary treatments for broilers lasted for 42 days. Results showed that at d 21, all doses of PFAC altered serum levels of total protein, albumin, and creatinine compared to AC (p < 0.05). Both PFAC and AC altered HDL-, LDL-, and VLDL-cholesterol levels compared to CON (p < 0.05). PFAC at 500 mg/kg (450 mg/kg AC+ 50 mg/kg phenolic acids and flavonoids) increased serum IgA and IgM (p < 0.05), but AC at 450 mg/kg did not, compared to CON. At d 42, breast and thigh muscles of PFAC-treated broilers had higher free radical scavenging activities compared to CON (p < 0.05), but AC had no such effect. PFAC at 500 mg/kg increased villus height in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum compared to CON (p < 0.05), but AC had no such response. PFAC at 500 mg/kg effectively improved protein and lipid metabolism, antioxidant status, and intestinal morphology, but AC had no such effect at a similar dose. Excessive PFAC (7,500 mg/kg) showed no significant side effects on broiler growth, liver damage, or hematology. These results suggest that phenols and flavonoids, in cooperation with activated charcoal, provide the majority of the functions of the herbal extract from multiple Chinese medicinal herbs.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease with a complex etiology. Monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) infiltration are associated with RA severity. We have reported the deletion of G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) reprograms macrophages toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype by recovering G-protein-coupled receptor signaling. However, as more GRK2-interacting proteins were discovered, the GRK2 interactome mechanisms in RA have been understudied. Thus, in the collagen-induced arthritis mouse model, we performed genetic GRK2 deletion using GRK2f/fLyz2-Cre+/- mice. Synovial inflammation and M1 polarization were improved in GRK2f/fLyz2-Cre+/- mice. Supporting experiments with RNA-seq and dual-luciferase reporter assays identified peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) as a new GRK2-interacting protein. We further confirmed that fms-related tyrosine kinase 1 (Flt-1), which promoted macrophage migration to induce angiogenesis, was inhibited by GRK2-PPARγ signaling. Mechanistically, excess GRK2 membrane recruitment in CIA MDMs reduced the activation of PPARγ ligand-binding domain and enhanced Flt-1 transcription. Furthermore, the treatment of mice with GRK2 activity inhibitor resulted in significantly diminished CIA pathology, Flt-1+ macrophages induced-synovial inflammation, and angiogenesis. Altogether, we anticipate to facilitate the elucidation of previously unappreciated details of GRK2-specific intracellular signaling. Targeting GRK2 activity is a viable strategy to inhibit MDMs infiltration, affording a distinct way to control joint inflammation and angiogenesis of RA.

J Invest Dermatol 2024; 144:152-164.e7. [PMID: 37516311 DOI: 10.1016/j.jid.2023.06.203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/31/2023]
Abstract
Cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage are an integral component of the body's innate ability to restore tissue function after injury. In parallel to mounting an inflammatory response, clearance of monocytes/macrophages from the wound site is critical to re-establish tissue functionality and integrity during the course of healing. The role of regulated cell death in macrophage clearance from damaged tissue and its implications for the outcome of the healing response is little understood. In this study, we explored the role of macrophage-specific FADD-mediated cell death on Ripk3-/- background in a mechanical skin injury model in mice. We found that combined inhibition of RIPK3-mediated necroptosis and FADD-caspase-8-mediated apoptosis in macrophages profoundly delayed wound healing. Importantly, RIPK3 deficiency alone did not considerably alter the wound healing process and macrophage population dynamics, arguing that inhibition of FADD-caspase-8-dependent death of macrophages is primarily responsible for delayed wound closure. Notably, TNF blockade reversed the accumulation of Ly6Chigh macrophages induced by combined deficiency of FADD and RIPK3, indicating a critical dual role of TNF-mediated prosurvival and cell death signaling, particularly in this highly proinflammatory macrophage subset. Our findings reveal a previously uncharacterized cross-talk of inflammatory and cell death signaling in macrophages in regulating repair processes in the skin.

Abstract
Autologous fat grating is a widely-accepted method to correct soft tissue deficiency. Although fat transplantation shows excellent biocompatibility and simple applicability, the relatively low retention rate caused by fat necrosis is still a challenge. The vasculature is integral after fat grafting, serving multiple crucial functions. Rapid and effective angiogenesis within grafts is essential for supplying oxygen necessary for adipocytes' survival. It facilitates the influx of inflammatory cells to remove necrotic adipocytes and aids in the delivery of regenerative cells for adipose tissue regeneration in fat grafts. The vasculature also provides a niche for interaction between adipose progenitor cells and vascular progenitor cells, enhancing angiogenesis and adipogenesis in grafts. Various methods, such as enriching grafts with diverse pro-angiogenic cells or utilizing cell-free approaches, have been employed to enhance angiogenesis. Beige and dedifferentiated adipocytes in grafts could increase vessel density. This review aims to outline the function of vasculature in fat grafting and discuss different cell or cell-free approaches that can enhance angiogenesis following fat grafting.

Abstract
When recruited to mammalian tissues, monocytes differentiate into macrophages or dendritic cells (DCs). In the past few years, the existence of monocyte-derived DCs (moDCs) was questioned by the discovery of new DC populations with overlapping phenotypes. Here, we critically review the evidence for monocyte differentiation into DCs in tissues and highlight their specific functions. Recent studies have shown that monocyte-derived macrophages (moMacs) with distinct life cycles coexist in tissues, both at steady state and upon inflammation. Integrating studies in mice and humans, we highlight specific features of moMacs during inflammation and tissue repair. We also discuss the notion of monocyte differentiation occurring via a binary fate decision. Deciphering monocyte-derived cell properties is essential for understanding their role in nonresolving inflammation and how they might be targeted for therapies.

Abstract
Objective To identify risk factors for aortopulmonary collateral (APC) development and assess the impact of severe APCs in children undergoing staged single ventricle palliation. Methods Children undergoing a bidirectional Glenn operation between January 1, 2016, and March 31, 2021, at our center were included. All underwent angiography prior to Glenn and Fontan; APC flow was graded on a scale of 0 (no appreciable collateral flow) to 4 (severe burden). Demographic data, congenital diagnosis, clinical history, and outcomes were stratified by Glenn assessment; Fontan outcomes were stratified by pre-Fontan grade. Results Sixty patients met the inclusion criteria, all of whom had angiographic evidence of APCs. There were 7 transplants and 9 deaths in the cohort. There were no significant differences in demographics among the patients. Right ventricular morphology was more common in patients with severe pre-Glenn collaterals (24 of 44 vs 2 of 6 vs 7 of 8; P = .014). Longer stage 1 aortic cross-clamp duration was associated with greater severity pre-Glenn (44 minutes vs 34 minutes vs 66 minutes; P = .023). Patients with grade 3 pre-Glenn collaterals more commonly required transplantation than those with grade 1 collaterals (P < .001) and had lower overall transplant-free survival than those with grade 1 (P = .005) or grade 2 (P = .04) collaterals. Conclusions The ubiquity of APCs in this study demonstrates their prevalence in single ventricle disease. Right ventricular morphology and prolonged aortic cross-clamp duration are associated with higher burden. Greater severity was associated with decreased transplant-free survival. These data emphasize the negative long-term impact of these collaterals.

Abstract
AIMS Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and the most common cause of disability in Western countries. Multiple mechanisms contribute to the development and progression of ischemic stroke, and inflammation is one of the most important mechanisms. DISCUSSION Ischemia induces the release of adenosine triphosphate/reactive oxygen species, which activates immune cells to produce many proinflammatory cytokines that activate downstream inflammatory cascades to induce fatal immune responses. Research has confirmed that peripheral blood immune cells play a vital role in the immunological cascade after ischemic stroke. The role of monocytes has received much attention among numerous peripheral blood immune cells. Monocytes induce their effects by secreting cytokines or chemokines, including CCL2/CCR2, CCR4, CCR5, CD36, CX3CL1/CX3CR1, CXCL12(SDF-1), LFA-1/ICAM-1, Ly6C, MMP-2/9, NR4A1, P2X4R, P-selectin, CD40L, TLR2/4, and VCAM-1/VLA-4. Those factors play important roles in the process of monocyte recruitment, migration, and differentiation. CONCLUSION This review focuses on the function and mechanism of the cytokines secreted by monocytes in the process of ischemic stroke and provides novel targets for treating cerebral ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a devastating neurological disorder comprising primary mechanical injury and secondary inflammatory response-mediated injury for which an effective treatment is still unavailable. It is well known that secondary inflammatory responses are a significant cause of difficulties in neurological recovery. An immune imbalance between M1/M2 macrophages at the sites of injury is involved in developing and progressing the secondary inflammatory response. Recently, Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have shown significant therapeutic potential in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to their potential multidirectional differentiation and immunomodulatory properties. Accumulating evidence shows that MSCs can regulate the balance of M1/M2 macrophage polarization, suppress downstream inflammatory responses, facilitate tissue repair and regeneration, and improve the prognosis of SCI. This article briefly overviews the impact of macrophages and MSCs on SCI and repair. It discusses the mechanisms by which MSCs regulate macrophage plasticity, including paracrine action, release of exosomes and apoptotic bodies, and metabolic reprogramming. Additionally, the article summarizes the relevant signaling pathways of MSCs that regulate macrophage polarization.

Abstract
Ischaemia of the heart and limbs attributable to compromised blood supply is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. The mechanisms of functional angiogenesis remain poorly understood, however. Here we show that FNIP1 plays a critical role in controlling skeletal muscle functional angiogenesis, a process pivotal for muscle revascularization during ischemia. Muscle FNIP1 expression is down-regulated by exercise. Genetic overexpression of FNIP1 in myofiber causes limited angiogenesis in mice, whereas its myofiber-specific ablation markedly promotes the formation of functional blood vessels. Interestingly, the increased muscle angiogenesis is independent of AMPK but due to enhanced macrophage recruitment in FNIP1-depleted muscles. Mechanistically, myofiber FNIP1 deficiency induces PGC-1α to activate chemokine gene transcription, thereby driving macrophage recruitment and muscle angiogenesis program. Furthermore, in a mouse hindlimb ischemia model of peripheral artery disease, the loss of myofiber FNIP1 significantly improved the recovery of blood flow. Thus, these results reveal a pivotal role of FNIP1 as a negative regulator of functional angiogenesis in muscle, offering insight into potential therapeutic strategies for ischemic diseases.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle regeneration requires the highly coordinated cooperation of muscle satellite cells (MuSCs) with other cellular components. Upon injury, myeloid cells populate the wound site, concomitant with MuSC activation. However, detailed analysis of MuSC-myeloid cell interaction is hindered by the lack of suitable live animal imaging technology. Here, we developed a dual-laser multimodal nonlinear optical microscope platform to study the dynamics of MuSCs and their interaction with nonmyogenic cells during muscle regeneration. Using three-dimensional time-lapse imaging on live reporter mice and taking advantages of the autofluorescence of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), we studied the spatiotemporal interaction between nonmyogenic cells and muscle stem/progenitor cells during MuSC activation and proliferation. We discovered that their cell-cell contact was transient in nature. Moreover, MuSCs could activate with notably reduced infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages, and their proliferation, although dependent on macrophages, did not require constant contact with them. These findings provide a fresh perspective on myeloid cells' role during muscle regeneration.

Abstract
Migraine, especially chronic migraine, is highly debilitating and still lacks effective treatment. The persistent headache arises from activation and sensitization of primary afferent neurons in the trigeminovascular pathway, but the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Animal studies indicate that signalling through chemokine C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2) and C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) mediates the development of chronic pain after tissue or nerve injury. Some migraine patients had elevated CCL2 levels in CSF or cranial periosteum. However, whether the CCL2-CCR2 signalling pathway contributes to chronic migraine is not clear. Here, we modelled chronic headache with repeated administration of nitroglycerin (NTG, a reliable migraine trigger in migraineurs) and found that both Ccl2 and Ccr2 mRNA were upregulated in dura and trigeminal ganglion (TG) tissues that are implicated in migraine pathophysiology. In Ccl2 and Ccr2 global knockout mice, repeated NTG administration did not evoke acute or persistent facial skin hypersensitivity as in wild-type mice. Intraperitoneal injection of CCL2 neutralizing antibodies inhibited chronic headache-related behaviours induced by repeated NTG administration and repetitive restraint stress, suggesting that the peripheral CCL2-CCR2 signalling mediates headache chronification. We found that CCL2 was mainly expressed in TG neurons and cells associated with dura blood vessels, whereas CCR2 was expressed in subsets of macrophages and T cells in TG and dura but not in TG neurons under both control and disease states. Deletion of Ccr2 gene in primary afferent neurons did not alter NTG-induced sensitization, but eliminating CCR2 expression in either T cells or myeloid cells abolished NTG-induced behaviours, indicating that both CCL2-CCR2 signalling in T cells and macrophages are required to establish chronic headache-related sensitization. At cellular level, repeated NTG administration increased the number of TG neurons that responded to calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) as well as the production of CGRP in wild-type but not Ccr2 global knockout mice. Lastly, co-administration of CCL2 and CGRP neutralizing antibodies was more effective in reversing NTG-induced behaviours than individual antibodies. Taken together, these results suggest that migraine triggers activate CCL2-CCR2 signalling in macrophages and T cells. This consequently enhances both CGRP and PACAP signalling in TG neurons, ultimately leading to persistent neuronal sensitization underlying chronic headache. Our work not only identifies the peripheral CCL2 and CCR2 as potential targets for chronic migraine therapy, but also provides proof-of-concept that inhibition of both peripheral CGRP and CCL2-CCR2 signalling is more effective than targeting either pathway alone.

Abstract
Actin-binding protein Profilin1 is an important regulator of actin cytoskeletal dynamics in cells and critical for embryonic development in higher eukaryotes. The objective of the present study was to examine the consequence of loss-of-function of Pfn1 in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) in vivo. We utilized a mouse model engineered for tamoxifen-inducible biallelic inactivation of the Pfn1 gene selectively in EC (Pfn1EC-KO). Widespread deletion of EC Pfn1 in adult mice leads to severe health complications presenting overt pathologies (endothelial cell death, infarct, and fibrosis) in major organ systems and evidence for inflammatory infiltrates, ultimately compromising the survival of animals within 3 weeks of gene ablation. Mice deficient in endothelial Pfn1 exhibit selective bias toward the proinflammatory myeloid-derived population of immune cells, a finding further supported by systemic elevation of proinflammatory cytokines. We further show that triggering Pfn1 depletion not only directly upregulates proinflammatory cytokine/chemokine gene expression in EC but also potentiates the paracrine effect of EC on proinflammatory gene expression in macrophages. Consistent with these findings, we provide further evidence for increased activation of Interferon Regulatory Factor 7 (IRF7) and STAT1 in EC when depleted of Pfn1. Collectively, these findings for the first time demonstrate a prominent immunological consequence of loss of endothelial Pfn1 and an indispensable role of endothelial Pfn1 in mammalian survival unlike tolerable phenotypes of Pfn1 loss in other differentiated cell types.

Abstract
The use of cardiovascular implants is commonplace in clinical practice. However, reproducing the key bioactive and adaptive properties of native cardiovascular tissues with an artificial replacement is highly challenging. Exciting new treatment strategies are under development to regenerate (parts of) cardiovascular tissues directly in situ using immunomodulatory biomaterials. Direct exposure to the bloodstream and hemodynamic loads is a particular challenge, given the risk of thrombosis and adverse remodeling that it brings. However, the blood is also a source of (immune) cells and proteins that dominantly contribute to functional tissue regeneration. This review explores the potential of the blood as a source for the complete or partial in situ regeneration of cardiovascular tissues, with a particular focus on the endothelium, being the natural blood-tissue barrier. We pinpoint the current scientific challenges to enable rational engineering and testing of blood-contacting implants to leverage the regenerative potential of the blood.

Abstract
Femoral atherosclerotic plaques are less inflammatory than carotid plaques histologically, but limited cell-level data exist regarding comparative immune landscapes and polarization at these sites. We investigated intraplaque leukocyte phenotypes and transcriptional polarization in 49 patients undergoing femoral (n = 23) or carotid (n = 26) endarterectomy using single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq; n = 13), flow cytometry (n = 24), and IHC (n = 12). Comparative scRNA-Seq of CD45+-selected leukocytes from femoral (n = 9; 35,265 cells) and carotid (n = 4; 30,655 cells) plaque revealed distinct transcriptional profiles. Inflammatory foam cell-like macrophages and monocytes comprised higher proportions of myeloid cells in carotid plaques, whereas noninflammatory foam cell-like macrophages and LYVE1-overexpressing macrophages comprised higher proportions of myeloid cells in femoral plaque (P < 0.001 for all). A significant comparative excess of CCR2+ macrophages in carotid versus plaque was observed by flow cytometry in a separate validation cohort. B cells were more prevalent and exhibited a comparatively antiinflammatory profile in femoral plaque, whereas cytotoxic CD8+ T cells were more prevalent in carotid plaque. In conclusion, human femoral plaques exhibit distinct macrophage phenotypic and transcriptional profiles as well as diminished CD8+ T cell populations compared with human carotid plaques.

A silk elastin-like protein (SELP) is an artificial compound with silk fibroin-like and elastin-like tandem repeats. The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of SELP on the polarization of human monocytoma cell line (THP-1)-derived macrophages. When the macrophages of inflammation-type (M1) were cultured with different concentrations of SELP solution, the secretion of a pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrotizing factor (TNF) -α was significantly suppressed at the higher concentrations. In addition, the secretion of an anti-inflammation cytokine, interleukin (IL)-10, was significantly enhanced from the macrophage of M0-, M1-, and M2-types. By the incubation with soluble SELP, the morphology of M2-type macrophages changed to be of an extended shape. Following incubation with the sponge of SELP, M0-type macrophages secreted IL-10 with time. It is concluded that the SELP itself in solution has an ability to induce the anti-inflammation of M2-type macrophages.

Electroacupuncture preconditioning protects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by modulating dynamic inflammatory response. Heliyon 2023; 9:e19396. [PMID: 37809701 PMCID: PMC10558356 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e19396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Revised: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The protective effects of electroacupuncture (EA) preconditioning against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) have been reported. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Recent research has indicated that the dynamic inflammatory response following MIRI plays an essential role in the progression of myocardial injury. This study aimed to investigate the myocardial protective effects of EA preconditioning on MIRI in rats and to explore the relevant mechanism from the perspective of dynamic inflammatory response. Methods A MIRI model was employed, and the rats were subjected to EA on Neiguan for four days prior to modeling. The myocardial protective effect of EA preconditioning was evaluated by echocardiography, Evans blue and triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. Real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, hematoxylin & eosin staining, and immunohistochemistry were utilized to detect the content of mitochondrial DNA, NOD receptor family protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation, neutrophil recruitment and macrophage infiltration in blood samples and myocardium below the ligation. Results We found that EA preconditioning could accelerate the recovery of left ventricle function after MIRI and reduce the myocardial infarction area, thereby protecting the myocardium against MIRI. Furthermore, EA preconditioning was observed to ameliorate mitochondrial impairment, reduce the level of plasma mitochondrial DNA, modulate NLRP3 inflammasome activation, attenuate neutrophil infiltration, and promote the polarization of M1 macrophages towards M2 macrophages in the myocardium after MIRI. Conclusion EA preconditioning could reduce plasma mtDNA, suppress overactivation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, facilitate the transition from the acute pro-inflammatory phase to the anti-inflammatory reparative phase after MIRI, and ultimately confer cardioprotective benefits.

Abstract
Historically, the eye has been considered as an organ free of lymphatic vessels. In recent years, however, it became evident, that lymphatic vessels or lymphatic-like vessels contribute to several ocular pathologies at various peri- and intraocular locations. The aim of this review is to outline the pathogenetic role of ocular lymphatics, the respective molecular mechanisms and to discuss current and future therapeutic options based thereon. We will give an overview on the vascular anatomy of the healthy ocular surface and the molecular mechanisms contributing to corneal (lymph)angiogenic privilege. In addition, we present (i) current insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms occurring during pathological neovascularization of the cornea triggered e.g. by inflammation or trauma, (ii) the role of lymphatic vessels in different ocular surface pathologies such as dry eye disease, corneal graft rejection, ocular graft versus host disease, allergy, and pterygium, (iii) the involvement of lymphatic vessels in ocular tumors and metastasis, and (iv) the novel role of the lymphatic-like structure of Schlemm's canal in glaucoma. Identification of the underlying molecular mechanisms and of novel modulators of lymphangiogenesis will contribute to the development of new therapeutic targets for the treatment of ocular diseases associated with pathological lymphangiogenesis in the future. The preclinical data presented here outline novel therapeutic concepts for promoting transplant survival, inhibiting metastasis of ocular tumors, reducing inflammation of the ocular surface, and treating glaucoma. Initial data from clinical trials suggest first success of novel treatment strategies to promote transplant survival based on pretransplant corneal lymphangioregression.

Opposing Roles of Blood-Borne Monocytes and Tissue-Resident Macrophages in Limbal Stem Cell Damage after Ocular Injury. Cells 2023; 12:2089.

Abstract
Limbal stem cell (LSC) deficiency is a frequent and severe complication after chemical injury to the eye. Previous studies have assumed this is mediated directly by the caustic agent. Here we show that LSC damage occurs through immune cell mediators, even without direct injury to LSCs. In particular, pH elevation in the anterior chamber (AC) causes acute uveal stress, the release of inflammatory cytokines at the basal limbal tissue, and subsequent LSC damage and death. Peripheral C-C chemokine receptor type 2 positive/CX3C motif chemokine receptor 1 negative (CCR2+ CX3CR1-) monocytes are the key mediators of LSC damage through the upregulation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) at the limbus. In contrast to peripherally derived monocytes, CX3CR1+ CCR2- tissue-resident macrophages have a protective role, and their depletion prior to injury exacerbates LSC loss and increases LSC vulnerability to TNF-α-mediated apoptosis independently of CCR2+ cell infiltration into the tissue. Consistently, repopulation of the tissue by new resident macrophages not only restores the protective M2-like phenotype of macrophages but also suppresses LSC loss after exposure to inflammatory signals. These findings may have clinical implications in patients with LSC loss after chemical burns or due to other inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Macrophages polarized to the M2 subtype after spinal cord injury (SCI) are beneficial for promoting neurological recovery. The crosstalk between endothelial cells (ECs) and macrophages is crucial for the imbalance between proinflammatory and pro-resolving responses caused by macrophage heterogeneity; however, this crosstalk is strengthened post-SCI, leading to inflammatory cascades and second damage. As a powerful means to regulate gene expression, epigenetic regulation of the interaction between immune cells and ECs in SCI is still largely unknown. Our previous research demonstrated that the histone demethylase UTX deletion in ECs (UTX-/- ECs) promotes neurological recovery, while the precise mechanism is unrevealed. Here, we discovered that UTX-/- ECs polarize macrophages toward the M2 subtype post-SCI. Macrophage deficiency could block the neurological recovery caused by the knockdown of UTX. The exosomes from UTX-/- ECs mediate this crosstalk. In addition, we found UTX, H3K27, and miR-467b-3p/Sfmbt2 promoters forming a regulatory complex that upregulates the miR-467b-3p in UTX-/- ECs. And then, miR-467b-3p transfers to macrophages by exosomes and activates the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling by decreasing PTEN expression, finally polarizing macrophage to the M2 subtype. This study reveals a mechanism by epigenetic regulation of ECs-macrophages crosstalk and identifies potential targets, which may provide opportunities for treating SCI.

Abstract
Monocytes are circulating leukocytes of innate immunity derived from the bone marrow that interact with endothelial cells under physiological or pathophysiological conditions to orchestrate inflammation, angiogenesis, or tissue remodeling. Monocytes are attracted by chemokines and specific receptors to precise areas in vessels or tissues and transdifferentiate into macrophages with tissue damage or infection. Adherent monocytes and infiltrated monocyte-derived macrophages locally release a myriad of cytokines, vasoactive agents, matrix metalloproteinases, and growth factors to induce vascular and tissue remodeling or for propagation of inflammatory responses. Infiltrated macrophages cooperate with tissue-resident macrophages during all the phases of tissue injury, repair, and regeneration. Substances released by infiltrated and resident macrophages serve not only to coordinate vessel and tissue growth but cellular interactions as well by attracting more circulating monocytes (e.g. MCP-1) and stimulating nearby endothelial cells (e.g. TNF-α) to expose monocyte adhesion molecules. Prolonged tissue accumulation and activation of infiltrated monocytes may result in alterations in extracellular matrix turnover, tissue functions, and vascular leakage. In this review, we highlight the link between interactions of infiltrating monocytes and endothelial cells to regulate vascular and tissue remodeling with a special focus on how these interactions contribute to pathophysiological conditions such as cardiovascular and chronic liver diseases.

Itaconic acid induces angiogenesis and suppresses apoptosis via Nrf2/autophagy to prolong the survival of multi-territory perforator flaps. Heliyon 2023; 9:e17909. [PMID: 37456049 PMCID: PMC10345368 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e17909] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2023] [Revised: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Perforator flaps are widely used in hand microsurgery to reconstruct and repair soft tissue injuries. However, ischemia and subsequent ischemia-reperfusion injury may cause distal necrosis of the flap. Itaconic acid (IA) is a modulator of macrophage function, which exerts anti-inflammatory effects in macrophage activation. Methods The necrotic area of the flap was detected by measuring the flap temperature with an infrared thermometer. Flap cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining and Western blot analysis of the apoptosis-associated proteins Bcl-2 and Bax. HE staining was used to detect angiogenesis of the skin flaps. CD31 was detected to identify positive vascular expression, and the survival of choke vessels in different areas of the skin flap was assessed by arteriography. In addition, Western blot was performed to quantify the expressions of VEGF, Nrf2, LC3II, SQSTM1, and CTSD. Results Itaconic acid raises VEGF protein levels in skin flaps and the number of CD31-positive vessels. The skin flaps in the IA treatment group exhibited higher neovascularization and less necrosis than those in the control group. The results of TUNEL staining and Western blot revealed that Itaconic acid attenuated apoptosis in the ischemic area of flap. The combination of itaconic acid and Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 reversed this beneficial effect. The results revealed that itaconic acid attenuated apoptosis, enhanced angiogenesis, and enhanced autophagy. Conclusion In summary, our findings indicate that itaconic acid might be an effective treatment to reduce flap necrosis. Additionally, this study identified a novel mechanism for the effects of itaconic acid on flap survival.

Abstract
Although most tissue types are capable of some form of self-repair and regeneration, injuries that are larger than a critical threshold or those occurring in the setting of certain diseases can lead to impaired healing and ultimately loss of structure and function. The immune system plays an important role in tissue repair and must be considered in the design of therapies in regenerative medicine. In particular, macrophage cell therapy has emerged as a promising strategy that leverages the reparative roles of these cells. Macrophages are critical for successful tissue repair and accomplish diverse functions throughout all phases of the process by dramatically shifting in phenotypes in response to microenvironmental cues. Depending on their response to various stimuli, they may release growth factors, support angiogenesis, and facilitate extracellular matrix remodeling. However, this ability to rapidly shift phenotype is also problematic for macrophage cell therapy strategies, because adoptively transferred macrophages fail to maintain therapeutic phenotypes following their administration to sites of injury or inflammation. Biomaterials are a potential way to control macrophage phenotype in situ while also enhancing their retention at sites of injury. Cell delivery systems incorporated with appropriately designed immunomodulatory signals have potential to achieve tissue regeneration in intractable injuries where traditional therapies have failed. Here we explorecurrent challenges in macrophage cell therapy, especially retention and phenotype control, how biomaterials may overcome them, and opportunities for next generation strategies. Biomaterials will be an essential tool to advance macrophage cell therapy for widespread clinical applications.

Abstract
The skin is the body's largest organ. It serves as a barrier to pathogen entry and the first site of immune defense. In the event of a skin injury, a cascade of events including inflammation, new tissue formation and tissue remodeling contributes to wound repair. Skin-resident and recruited immune cells work together with non-immune cells to clear invading pathogens and debris, and guide the regeneration of damaged host tissues. Disruption to the wound repair process can lead to chronic inflammation and non-healing wounds. This, in turn, can promote skin tumorigenesis. Tumors appropriate the wound healing response as a way of enhancing their survival and growth. Here we review the role of resident and skin-infiltrating immune cells in wound repair and discuss their functions in regulating both inflammation and development of skin cancers.

Evaluation of the tissue repair process and immunomodulatory action of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in the treatment of abdominal stretch marks. Tissue Cell 2023; 83:102132.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to characterize and to compare the structural alterations of collagen and elastic fibers in the abdominal stretch marks of patients submitted to intralesional and per quadrant (region close to stretch marks) Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment, as well as, to establish the possible mechanisms of action of this treatment involving toll-like receptors (TLRs) signaling pathways and growth factors. Incisional biopsies were collected from abdominal stretch marks with a 2 mm diameter punch in female patients, at the beginning of treatment, after 6 and 12 weeks of treatment, and submitted to morphological analyzes of elastic and collagen fibers, and immunohistochemistry for TLRs signaling pathways and growth factors. Our results demonstrated PRP per quadrant treatment was most effective in reducing the area of the abdominal stretch marks, with consequent stimulation of the synthesis and remodeling of collagen and elastic fibers. Also, PRP per quadrant treatment promoted an increase in TLR2 and TLR4 immunoreactivities, with consequent increase in TNF-α, VEGF and IGF-1. Based on the current findings, PRP constitutes a promising therapeutic approach in patients with stretch marks, since it promoted modulation of inflammatory cytokines and growth factors, with consequent remodeling of extracellular matrix, culminating with tissue improvement.

Abstract
Inflammation is a crucial part of the healing process after an ischemic stroke and is required to restore tissue homeostasis. However, the inflammatory response to stroke also worsens neurodegeneration and creates a tissue environment that is unfavorable to regeneration for several months, thereby postponing recovery. In animal models, inflammation can also contribute to the development of delayed cognitive deficits. Myeloid cells that take on a foamy appearance are one of the most prominent immune cell types within chronic stroke infarcts. Emerging evidence indicates that they form as a result of mechanisms of myelin lipid clearance becoming overwhelmed, and that they are a key driver of the chronic inflammatory response to stroke. Therefore, targeting lipid accumulation in foam cells may be a promising strategy for improving recovery. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of current knowledge regarding inflammation and foam cell formation in the brain in the weeks and months following ischemic stroke and identify targets that may be amenable to therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Local overexposure to ionizing radiation leads to chronic inflammation, vascular damage and cachexia. Here we investigate the kinetics of inflammatory cells from day (D)1 to D180 after mouse hindlimb irradiation and analyze the role of monocyte (Mo) subsets in tissue revascularization. At D1, we find that Mo and T cells are mobilized from spleen and bone marrow to the blood. New vessel formation during early phase, as demonstrated by ~1.4- and 2-fold increased angiographic score and capillary density, respectively, correlates with an increase of circulating T cells, and Mohi and type 1-like macrophages in irradiated muscle. At D90 vascular rarefaction and cachexia are observed, associated with decreased numbers of circulating Molo and Type 2-like macrophages in irradiated tissue. Moreover, CCR2- and CX3CR1-deficency negatively influences neovascularization. However adoptive transfer of Mohi enhances vessel growth. Our data demonstrate the radiation-induced dynamic inflammatory waves and the major role of inflammatory cells in neovascularization.

Abstract
In osteoarthritis (OA), bone changes are radiological hallmarks and are considered important for disease progression. The C-C chemokine receptor-2 (CCR2) has been shown to play an important role in bone physiology. In this study, we investigated whether Ccr2 osteoblast-specific inactivation at different times during post-traumatic OA (PTOA) progression improves joint structures, bone parameters, and pain. We used a tamoxifen-inducible Ccr2 inactivation in Collagen1α-expressing cells to obtain osteoblasts lacking Ccr2 (CCR2-Col1αKO). We stimulated PTOA changes in CCR2-Col1αKO and CCR2+/+ mice using the destabilization of the meniscus model (DMM), inducing recombination before or after DMM (early- vs. late-inactivation). Joint damage was evaluated at two, four, eight, and twelve weeks post-DMM using multiple scores: articular-cartilage structure (ACS), Safranin-O, histomorphometry, osteophyte size/maturity, subchondral bone thickness and synovial hyperplasia. Spontaneous and evoked pain were assessed for up to 20 weeks. We found that early osteoblast-Ccr2 inactivation delayed articular cartilage damage and matrix degeneration compared to CCR2+/+, as well as DMM-induced bone thickness. Osteophyte formation and maturation were only minimally affected. Late Collagen1α-Ccr2 deletion led to less evident improvements. Osteoblast-Ccr2 deletion also improved static measures of pain, while evoked pain did not change. Our study demonstrates that Ccr2 expression in osteoblasts contributes to PTOA disease progression and pain by affecting both cartilage and bone tissues.
