Cell Death Dis 2024; 15:462. [PMID: 38942784 PMCID: PMC11213914 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-024-06849-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024]
Abstract
S100a8/a9, largely released by polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs), belongs to the S100 family of calcium-binding proteins and plays a role in a variety of inflammatory diseases. Although S100a8/a9 has been reported to trigger endothelial cell apoptosis, the mechanisms of S100a8/a9-induced endothelial dysfunction during sepsis require in-depth research. We demonstrate that high expression levels of S100a8/a9 suppress Ndufa3 expression in mitochondrial complex I via downregulation of Nrf1 expression. Mitochondrial complex I deficiency contributes to NAD+-dependent Sirt1 suppression, which induces mitochondrial disorders, including excessive fission and blocked mitophagy, and mtDNA released from damaged mitochondria ultimately activates ZBP1-mediated PANoptosis in endothelial cells. Moreover, based on comprehensive scRNA-seq and bulk RNA-seq analyses, S100A8/A9hi neutrophils are closely associated with the circulating endothelial cell count (a useful marker of endothelial damage), and S100A8 is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in sepsis patients.

Mao Y, Hou X, Fu S, Luan J. Transcriptomic and machine learning analyses identify hub genes of metabolism and host immune response that are associated with the progression of breast capsular contracture. Genes Dis 2024; 11:101087. [PMID: 38292203 PMCID: PMC10825289 DOI: 10.1016/j.gendis.2023.101087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Capsular contracture is a prevalent and severe complication that affects the postoperative outcomes of patients who receive silicone breast implants. At present, prosthesis replacement is the major treatment for capsular contracture after both breast augmentation procedures and breast reconstruction following breast cancer surgery. However, the mechanism(s) underlying breast capsular contracture remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the biological features of breast capsular contracture and reveal the potential underlying mechanism using RNA sequencing. Sample tissues from 12 female patients (15 breast capsules) were divided into low capsular contracture (LCC) and high capsular contracture (HCC) groups based on the Baker grades. Subsequently, 41 lipid metabolism-related genes were identified through enrichment analysis, and three of these genes were identified as candidate genes by SVM-RFE and LASSO algorithms. We then compared the proportions of the 22 types of immune cells between the LCC and HCC groups using a CIBERSORT analysis and explored the correlation between the candidate hub features and immune cells. Notably, PRKAR2B was positively correlated with the differentially clustered immune cells, which were M1 macrophages and follicular helper T cells (area under the ROC = 0.786). In addition, the expression of PRKAR2B at the mRNA or protein level was lower in the HCC group than in the LCC group. Potential molecular mechanisms were identified based on the expression levels in the high and low PRKAR2B groups. Our findings indicate that PRKAR2B is a novel diagnostic biomarker for breast capsular contracture and might also influence the grade and progression of capsular contracture.

Abstract
This review addresses interferon (IFN) signaling in immune cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME) and examines how this affects cancer progression. The data reveal that IFNs exert dual roles in cancers, dependent on the TME, exhibiting both anti-tumor activity and promoting cancer progression. We discuss the abnormal IFN signaling induced by cancerous cells that alters immune responses to permit their survival and proliferation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy (DN) and atherosclerosis (AS) are prevalent and severe complications associated with diabetes, exhibiting lesions in the basement membrane, an essential component found within the glomerulus, tubules, and arteries. These lesions contribute significantly to the progression of both diseases, however, the precise underlying mechanisms, as well as any potential shared pathogenic processes between them, remain elusive. METHODS Our study analyzed transcriptomic profiles from DN and AS patients, sourced from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. A combination of integrated bioinformatics approaches and machine learning models were deployed to identify crucial genes connected to basement membrane lesions in both conditions. The role of integrin subunit alpha M (ITGAM) was further explored using immune infiltration analysis and genetic correlation studies. Single-cell sequencing analysis was employed to delineate the expression of ITGAM across different cell types within DN and AS tissues. RESULTS Our analyses identified ITGAM as a key gene involved in basement membrane alterations and revealed its primary expression within macrophages in both DN and AS. ITGAM was significantly correlated with tissue immune infiltration within these diseases. Furthermore, the expression of genes encoding core components of the basement membrane was influenced by the expression level of ITGAM. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that macrophages may contribute to basement membrane lesions in DN and AS through the action of ITGAM. Moreover, therapeutic strategies that target ITGAM may offer potential avenues to mitigate basement membrane lesions in these two diabetes-related complications.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a global health issue that presents a complex pathogenesis and limited treatment options. To provide guidance for precise therapies, it is crucial to accurately identify the pathogenesis of DKD. Several studies have recognized that mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) dysfunction are key drivers of the pathogenesis of DKD. The mitochondria-associated ER membrane (MAM) is a dynamic membrane contact site (MSC) that connects the ER and mitochondria and is essential in maintaining the normal function of the two organelles. MAM is involved in various cellular processes, including lipid synthesis and transport, calcium homeostasis, mitochondrial fusion and fission, and ER stress. Meanwhile, recent studies confirm that MAM plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of DKD by regulating glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, inflammation, ER stress, mitochondrial fission and fusion, and autophagy. Herein, this review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the physiological function of MAMs and their impact on the progression of DKD. Subsequently, we discuss the trend of pharmaceutical studies that target MAM resident proteins for treating DKD. Furthermore, we also explore the future development prospects of MAM in DKD research, thereby providing a new perspective for basic studies and clinical treatment of DKD.

J Immunol Res 2023; 2023:7829286. [PMID: 37228444 PMCID: PMC10205410 DOI: 10.1155/2023/7829286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, affects approximately one-quarter of the global population and is considered one of the most lethal infectious diseases worldwide. The prevention of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) from progressing into active tuberculosis (ATB) is crucial for controlling and eradicating TB. Unfortunately, currently available biomarkers have limited effectiveness in identifying subpopulations that are at risk of developing ATB. Hence, it is imperative to develop advanced molecular tools for TB risk stratification. Methods The TB datasets were downloaded from the GEO database. Three machine learning models, namely LASSO, RF, and SVM-RFE, were used to identify the key characteristic genes related to inflammation during the progression of LTBI to ATB. The expression and diagnostic accuracy of these characteristic genes were subsequently verified. These genes were then used to develop diagnostic nomograms. In addition, single-cell expression clustering analysis, immune cell expression clustering analysis, GSVA analysis, immune cell correlation, and immune checkpoint correlation of characteristic genes were conducted. Furthermore, the upstream shared miRNA was predicted, and a miRNA-genes network was constructed. Candidate drugs were also analyzed and predicted. Results In comparison to LTBI, a total of 96 upregulated and 26 downregulated genes related to the inflammatory response were identified in ATB. These characteristic genes have demonstrated excellent diagnostic performance and significant correlation with many immune cells and immune sites. The results of the miRNA-genes network analysis suggested a potential role of hsa-miR-3163 in the molecular mechanism of LTBI progressing into ATB. Moreover, retinoic acid may offer a potential avenue for the prevention of LTBI progression to ATB and for the treatment of ATB. Conclusion Our research has identified key inflammatory response-related genes that are characteristic of LTBI progression to ATB and hsa-miR-3163 as a significant node in the molecular mechanism of this progression. Our analyses have demonstrated the excellent diagnostic performance of these characteristic genes and their significant correlation with many immune cells and immune checkpoints. The CD274 immune checkpoint presents a promising target for the prevention and treatment of ATB. Furthermore, our findings suggest that retinoic acid may have a role in preventing LTBI from progressing to ATB and in treating ATB. This study provides a new perspective for differential diagnosis of LTBI and ATB and may uncover potential inflammatory immune mechanisms, biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and effective drugs in the progression of LTBI into ATB.
