Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC) often indicates a poor prognosis. Osteolysis can be observed in metastatic sites, implying an aberrant activation of osteoclasts. However, how osteoclastogenesis is regulated in metastatic microenvironment caused by colorectal cancer is still unclear. METHODS In this study, mice bone metastatic model of CRC was established through injection of MC-38 or CT-26 cells. BrdU assays showed primary CD115 ( +) osteoclast precursors (OCPs) proliferated at the first 2 weeks. Transcriptomic profiling was performed to identify differentially expressing genes and pathways in OCPs indirectly co-cultured with CRC cells RESULTS: The expression of IL4Rα was found to be significantly upregulated in OCPs stimulated by tumor conditioned medium (CM). Further investigation indicated that IL-4 signaling regulated proliferation of OPCs through interacting with type I IL4 receptor, and neutrophils were the main source of IL-4 in bone marrow. The proliferation of OCPs can be inhibited in IL4 deficiency mice. In addition, ERK pathway was activated by IL4/IL4R signaling. Ravoxertinib, an ERK antagonists, could significantly prevent bone destruction through inhibiting the proliferation of OCPs. CONCLUSION Our study indicates the essential role of IL4/IL4R signaling for the proliferation of OCPs in early metastasis of CRC predominantly through activating ERK pathway, which remarkedly impacts the number of osteoclasts in later stage and leads to osteolytic lesions. Moreover, Ravoxertinib could be a new therapeutical target for bone metastasis of CRC.

Abstract
In tuberculosis, T cell-mediated immunity is extensively studied whilst B cells received limited attention in human and mice. Of interest, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) does increase IL-4 Receptor-alpha (IL4Rα) expression in murine B cells. To better understand the role of IL4Rα signalling in B cells, we compared wild type mice with B cell-specific IL4Rα deficient mice (mb1creIL-4Rα-/lox mice). Chronic Mtb aerosol infection in mb1creIL-4Rα-/lox mice reduced lung and spleen bacterial burdens, compared to littermate (IL-4Rα-/lox) control animals. Consequently, lung pathology, inflammation and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression were reduced in the lungs of mb1creIL-4Rα-/lox mice, which was also accompanied by increased lung IgA and decreased IgG1 levels. Furthermore, intratracheal adoptive transfer of wild-type B cells into B cell-specific IL4Rα deficient mice reversed the protective phenotype. Moreover, constitutively mCherry expressing Mtb showed decreased association with B cells from mb1creIL-4Rα-/lox mice ex vivo. In addition, supernatants from Mtb-exposed B cells of mb1creIL-4Rα-/lox mice also increased the ability of macrophages to produce nitric oxide, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF. Together, this demonstrates that IL-4-responsive B cells are detrimental during the chronic phase of tuberculosis in mice with perturbed antibody profiles, inflammatory cytokines and tnf and stat1 levels in the lungs.

Abstract
Phagocytosis is a fundamental mechanism of innate immunity and its impairment is associated with severe chronic diseases, for example, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Investigating phagocytosis requires flexible tools and assay conditions, such as different fluorescent particle types, detection colors and readouts. We comprehensively evaluated and optimized phagocytosis assays using particles labeled with fluorescent pH-sensitive pHrodo® dyes, facilitating the specific detection of phagocytosed particles. Beads, bacterial and yeast particles labeled with pHrodo red and green were tested for their uptake by THP-1 cells and primary human macrophages by flow cytometry and high-content imaging. Whereas the latter allowed kinetic phagocytosis measurement, the former demonstrated the feasibility of using cell sorting for periods of up to 6 h, enabling downstream applications such as pooled genetic screens.

Abstract
Actin plays a critical role during the early stages of pathogenic microbe internalization by immune cells. In this study, we identified a key mechanism of actin filament tethering and stabilization to the surface of phagosomes in human dendritic cells. We found that the actin-binding protein SWAP70 is specifically recruited to nascent phagosomes by binding to the lipid phosphatidylinositol (3,4)-bisphosphate. Multi-color super-resolution stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy revealed that the actin cage surrounding early phagosomes is formed by multiple concentric rings containing SWAP70. SWAP70 colocalized with and stimulated activation of RAC1, a known activator of actin polymerization, on phagosomes. Genetic ablation of SWAP70 impaired actin polymerization around phagosomes and resulted in a phagocytic defect. These data show a key role for SWAP70 as a scaffold for tethering the peripheral actin cage to phagosomes.

Abstract
Strict spatiotemporal control of trafficking events between organelles is critical for maintaining homeostasis and directing cellular responses. This regulation is particularly important in immune cells for mounting specialized immune defenses. By controlling the formation, transport and fusion of intracellular organelles, Rab GTPases serve as master regulators of membrane trafficking. In this review, we discuss the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which Rab GTPases regulate immunity and inflammation.

Abstract
Recognition of microbial pathogens and dead cells and their phagocytic uptake by specialized immune cells are essential to maintain host homeostasis. Phagosomes undergo fusion and fission events with endosomal and lysosomal compartments, a process called ‘phagosome maturation’, which leads to the degradation of the phagosomal content. However, many phagocytic cells also act as antigen-presenting cells and must balance degradation and peptide preservation. Emerging evidence indicates that receptor engagement by phagosomal cargo, as well as inflammatory mediators and cellular activation affect many aspects of phagosome maturation. Unsurprisingly, pathogens have developed strategies to hijack this machinery, thereby interfering with host immunity. Here, we highlight progress in this field, summarize findings on the impact of immune signals, and discuss consequences for pathogen elimination. Self and non-self immune signals are able to delay or accelerate phagosome maturation, and their effects are dependent on the phagocytic cell type, duration of stimulation, and whether the stimulus is particle bound or present in the cellular environment. Acceleration of phagosome maturation enhances pathogen killing, while a delay in phagosome maturation preserves antigenic peptides for presentation to T cells and to initiate adaptive immune responses. Besides its functions in pathogen killing and antigen presentation, the phagosome also functions as a signaling platform and interacts with other cell organelles. Some pathogens are able to arrest phagosome maturation to enhance their intraphagosomal survival and replication or to promote phagosomal escape. The latex bead phagocytosis model system combined with mass spectrometry is a powerful technique to analyze changes in the phagosomal proteome.

Abstract
Cell membranes are a complex adaptive system: they are constantly re-organised in response to extra- and intracellular inputs and their local and global structure ultimately determines how, where and when these inputs are processed. This requires a tight coupling of signalling and membranes in localised and specialised compartments. While lipids are essential components of cell membranes, they mostly lack a direct link to the input signals. Here we review how proteins can deform locally membranes, modify and reorganise lipids to form membrane domains and regulate properties like membrane charges and diffusion. From this point-of-view, it appears that proteins play a central role in regulating membrane organisation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The ability of nicotine, the primary psychoactive substance in tobacco smoke, to regulate appetite and body weight is one of the factors cited by smokers that prevents them from quitting and is the primary reason for smoking initiation in teenage girls. The regulation of feeding and metabolism by nicotine is complex, and recent studies have begun to identify nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes and circuits or cell types involved in this regulation. DISCUSSION We will briefly describe the primary anatomical and functional features of the input, output, and central integration structures of the neuroendocrine systems that regulate energy homeostasis. Then, we will describe the nAChR subtypes expressed in these structures in mammals to identify the possible molecular targets for nicotine. Finally, we will review the effects of nicotine and its withdrawal on feeding and energy metabolism and attribute them to potential central and peripheral cellular targets.

Abstract
Understanding the molecular mechanisms that shape an effective cellular response is a fundamental question in biology. Biochemical measurements have revealed critical information about the order of protein-protein interactions along signaling cascades but lack the resolution to determine kinetics and localization of interactions on the plasma membrane. Furthermore, the local membrane environment influences membrane receptor distributions and dynamics, which in turn influences signal transduction. To measure dynamic protein interactions and elucidate the consequences of membrane architecture interplay, direct measurements at high spatiotemporal resolution are needed. In this review, we discuss the biochemical principles regulating membrane nanodomain formation and protein function, ranging from the lipid nanoenvironment to the cortical cytoskeleton. We also discuss recent advances in fluorescence microscopy that are making it possible to quantify protein organization and biochemical events at the nanoscale in the living cell membrane.
