Ghosh R, Bishayi B. Endogenous blocking of TLR2 along with TNF-α and IL-1β ameliorates the severity of the S. aureus arthritis via modulating STAT3/SOCS3 expressions in tissue resident macrophages. Microb Pathog 2024; 187:106518. [PMID: 38160988 DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2023.106518] [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: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
In vivo studies identifying a role of TLR2 in septic arthritis models are lacking. TNF-α played as the most important proinflammatory cytokine, and connected directly to the pathogenesis of bacterial arthritis. IL-1β is another central mediator cytokine in arthritis. It is therefore reasonable to question the role of neutralization of endogenous TNF-α and IL-1β along with TLR2 and associated downstream signaling as crucial mediators in the S. aureus -induced inflammatory arthritis. In reaction to an injury or a pathogen encounter, innate immune cells serve as the initial line of defense. TLR2 mediated entry of S. aureus into macrophage cells initiates an array of inflammatory cascades. After macrophage cell gets activated at the site inflammation, they generate elevated number of cytokines which includes TNF-α, IL-1β. This cytokines signals through STAT1/STAT3 mediated pathways. Thus, aim of this study was to discover how This bone damage could be altered by altering the STAT/STAT3/SOCS3 ratio by blocking TLR2, a particular S. aureus binding site, in conjunction with the use of IL-1 and TNF- antibodies for neutralizing endogenous IL-1β and TNF-α. Additionally, the role of local macrophages in therapy of arthritis was investigated in synovial and Splenic tissue. To comprehend the inflammatory milieu within the system, ROS and other antioxidant enzymes, along with the expression of mTOR in macrophage cells, were also taken into consideration. The detrimental impact of bacterial burden on synovial joints was reduced by simultaneously inhibiting TLR2, TNF-α, and IL-1β. Lowered IFN-γ decreases its sensitivity to STAT1 and lowered IL-6 reduces STAT3 expressions. Whereas, elevated IL-10 enhances SOSC3 expression, which thereby able to limits STAT1/STAT3 inter-conversion. As a result, NF-κB activity was downregulated.

Abstract
Neutrophils are the shortest-lived blood cells, which requires a prodigious degree of proliferation and differentiation to sustain physiologically sufficient numbers and be poised to respond quickly to infectious emergencies. More than 107 neutrophils are produced every minute in an adult bone marrow-a process that is tightly regulated by a small group of cytokines and chemical mediators and dependent on nutrients and energy. Like granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, the primary growth factor for granulopoiesis, they stimulate signalling pathways, some affecting metabolism. Nutrient or energy deficiency stresses the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of neutrophils and their precursors. Thus, it is not surprising that monogenic disorders related to metabolism exist that result in neutropenia. Among these are pathogenic mutations in HAX1, G6PC3, SLC37A4, TAFAZZIN, SBDS, EFL1 and the mitochondrial disorders. These mutations perturb carbohydrate, lipid and/or protein metabolism. We hypothesize that metabolic disturbances may drive the pathogenesis of a subset of inherited neutropenias just as defects in DNA damage response do in Fanconi anaemia, telomere maintenance in dyskeratosis congenita and ribosome formation in Diamond-Blackfan anaemia. Greater understanding of metabolic pathways in granulopoiesis will identify points of vulnerability in production and may point to new strategies for the treatment of neutropenias.

Abstract
Shwachman-Diamond syndrome is a rare inherited bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by neutropenia, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and skeletal abnormalities. In 10-30% of cases, transformation to a myeloid neoplasm occurs. Approximately 90% of patients have biallelic pathogenic variants in the SBDS gene located on human chromosome 7q11. Over the past several years, pathogenic variants in three other genes have been identified to cause similar phenotypes; these are DNAJC21, EFL1, and SRP54. Clinical manifestations involve multiple organ systems and those classically associated with the Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (bone, blood, and pancreas). Neurocognitive, dermatologic, and retinal changes may also be found. There are specific gene-phenotype differences. To date, SBDS, DNAJC21, and SRP54 variants have been associated with myeloid neoplasia. Common to SBDS, EFL1, DNAJC21, and SRP54 is their involvement in ribosome biogenesis or early protein synthesis. These four genes constitute a common biochemical pathway conserved from yeast to humans that involve early stages of protein synthesis and demonstrate the importance of this synthetic pathway in myelopoiesis.

Abstract
Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFSs) include Fanconi anemia, Diamond-Blackfan anemia, Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, dyskeratosis congenita, severe congenital neutropenia, and other rare entities such as GATA2 deficiency and SAMD9/9L mutations. The IBMFS monogenic disorders were first recognized by their phenotype. Exome sequencing has validated their classification, with clusters of gene mutations affecting DNA damage response (Fanconi anemia), ribosome structure (Diamond-Blackfan anemia), ribosome assembly (Shwachman-Diamond syndrome), or telomere maintenance/stability (dyskeratosis congenita). The pathogenetic mechanisms of IBMFSs remain to be characterized fully, but an overarching hypothesis states that different stresses elicit TP53-dependent growth arrest and apoptosis of hematopoietic stem, progenitor, and precursor cells. Here, we review the IBMFSs and propose a role for pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TGF-β, IL-1β, and IFN-α, in mediating the cytopenias. We suggest a pathogenic role for cytokines in the transformation to myeloid neoplasia and hypothesize a role for anti-inflammatory therapies.

Abstract
Background Ferulic acid is a natural compound commonly found in fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, sweet corn, rice bran, and dong quai. It has various beneficial effects on the body, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, and neuroprotective properties. Aims We conducted a study to investigate the antitumor activity of ferulic acid against Ehrlich solid carcinoma (ESC), specifically by affecting hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and its subsequent effects on other factors like nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), cellular Myc (cMyc), cyclin D1, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). Materials and methods The study involved implanting rats with ESC cells and administering 50 mg/kg of ferulic acid orally daily for eight days. Sections of the muscles with ESC were stained with toluidine blue or immunostained with anti-HIF-1α antibodies. The tumor samples were used to evaluate the expression of HIF-1α, Nrf2, HO-1, cMyc, cyclin D1, mTOR, and STAT3. Results Ferulic acid increased mean survival time, reduced tumor volume and weight, and improved the appearance of the tumor tissue. Furthermore, ferulic acid significantly elevated the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1, while reducing the expression of HIF-1α, Nrf2, HO-1, cMyc, cyclin D1, mTOR, and STAT3. Conclusions Ferulic acid can reduce tumor size and weight while improving the structure of muscle cells, suggesting it may have antineoplastic activity against ESC. Further investigation revealed that ferulic acid downregulates HIF-1α, increasing the expression of antioxidant proteins Nrf2 and HO-1. Additionally, ferulic acid decreases the expression of proliferation markers cMyc and cyclin D1 and downregulates cellular regulators mTOR and STAT3.

Cytokine signaling pathway in cystic fibrosis: expression of SOCS and STATs genes in different clinical phenotypes of the disease. Mol Cell Biochem 2021; 476:2869-2876.

Abstract
This was an observational cross-sectional study which was done to assess the expression profile of STATs and SOCS genes in cystic fibrosis. The mRNA was isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of CF patients in exacerbation, colonization and post exacerbation phases of the disease. The relative gene expression level for SOCS 1, -3, -5 and STAT 1, -3,-4,-6 genes was quantified by Real-time PCR. The levels of IL-6 were also measured in the serum by ELISA. The expression of the Th1 pathway associated genes (SOCS1, SOCS5, STAT4 and STAT1) was downregulated while the expression of Th2/Th17 pathway genes (SOCS3, STAT3, STAT6) was upregulated in both exacerbation and colonization phases as compared to healthy controls. The serum levels of IL-6 were also elevated in both the disease groups. After antibiotic treatment, the expression of SOCS5 and STAT4 was increased while the expression of rest of the genes showed downregulation which shows a shift in immune response from Th2/Th17 to Th1. Our results suggest that infection alters the cytokine signaling pathway through modulation of STATs and SOCS genes which is not able to regulate the overstimulation of cytokine signaling further leading to chronic inflammation in CF.
