Abstract
Periodontitis is a progressive inflammatory skeletal disease characterized by periodontal tissue destruction, alveolar bone resorption, and tooth loss. Chronic inflammatory response and excessive osteoclastogenesis play essential roles in periodontitis progression. Unfortunately, the pathogenesis that contributes to periodontitis remains unclear. As a specific inhibitor of the mTOR (mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin) signaling pathway and the most common autophagy activator, rapamycin plays a vital role in regulating various cellular processes. The present study investigated the effects of rapamycin on osteoclast (OC) formation in vitro and its effects on the rat periodontitis model. The results showed that rapamycin inhibited OC formation in a dose-dependent manner by up-regulating the Nrf2/GCLC signaling pathway, thus suppressing the intracellular redox status, as measured by 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate and MitoSOX. In addition, rather than simply increasing the autophagosome formation, rapamycin increased the autophagy flux during OC formation. Importantly, the anti-oxidative effect of rapamycin was regulated by an increase in autophagy flux, which could be attenuated by blocking autophagy with bafilomycin A1. In line with the in vitro results, rapamycin treatment attenuated alveolar bone resorption in rats with lipopolysaccharide-induced periodontitis in a dose-dependent manner, as assessed by micro-computed tomography, hematoxylin-eosin staining, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining. Besides, high-dose rapamycin treatment could reduce the serum levels of proinflammatory factors and oxidative stress in periodontitis rats. In conclusion, this study expanded our understanding of rapamycin's role in OC formation and protection from inflammatory bone diseases.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide and a significant global burden. Many lines of evidence suggest complex remodeling responses to cardiovascular disease, such as myocardial ischemia, hypertension and valve disease, which lead to poor clinical outcomes, including heart failure, arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death (SCD). The mechanisms underlying cardiac remodeling are closely related to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation. Myeloid differentiation protein 1 (MD1) is a secreted glycoprotein known as lymphocyte antigen 86. The complex of MD1 and radioprotective 105 (RP105) is an important regulator of inflammation and is involved in the modulation of vascular remodeling and atherosclerotic plaque development. A recent study suggested that the expression of MD1 in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients is decreased compared with that in donor hearts. Therefore, MD1 may play an important role in the pathological processes of cardiovascular disease and have potential clinical value. Here, this review aims to discuss the current knowledge regarding the role of MD1 in the regulation of cardiac pathophysiology.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a serious complication in clinical settings. This study aimed to elucidate the immune molecular mechanisms underlying ALI by bioinformatics analysis. Human ALI and six ALI mouse model datasets were collected. Immune cell infiltration between the ALI samples and non-ALI controls was estimated using the ssGSEA algorithm. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis and Wilcoxon test were performed to obtain the significantly different immune cell infiltration types. Immune feature genes were screened by differential analysis and the weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) algorithm. Functional enrichment was then performed and candidate hub biomarkers were identified. Finally, the receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was used to predict their diagnostic performances. Three significantly different immune cell types (B cells, CD4 T cells, and CD8 T cells) were identified between the ALI samples and controls. A total of 13 immune feature genes were obtained by WGCNA and differential analysis and found to be significantly associated with immune functions and lung diseases. Four hub genes, including CD180, CD4, CD74, and MCL1 were identified using cytoHubba and were shown to have good specificity and sensitivity for the diagnosis of ALI. Correlation analysis suggested that CD4 was positively associated with T cells, whereas MCL1 was negatively correlated with B and T cells. We found that CD180, CD4, CD74, and MCL1 can serve as specific immune biomarkers for ALI. MCL1-B cell, MCL1-T cell, and CD4-T cell axes may be involved in the progression of ALI.
