Abstract
Ferroptosis is a lipid peroxidation-driven and iron-dependent form of programmed cell death, which is involved in a variety of physical processes and multiple diseases. Numerous reports have demonstrated that ferroptosis is closely related to the pathophysiological processes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) infection and is characterized by the accumulation of excess lipid peroxides on the cell membrane. In this study, the various functions of ferroptosis, and the therapeutic strategies and diagnostic biomarkers of tuberculosis, were summarized. Notably, this review provides insights into the molecular mechanisms and functions of M. tuberculosis-induced ferroptosis, suggesting potential future therapeutic and diagnostic markers for tuberculosis.

BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA. MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2024; 1871:119752. [PMID: 38776987 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2024.119752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Preserving a functional mitochondrial network is crucial for cellular well-being, considering the pivotal role of mitochondria in ensuring cellular survival, especially under stressful conditions. Mitophagy, the selective removal of damaged mitochondria through autophagy, plays a pivotal role in preserving cellular homeostasis by preventing the production of harmful reactive oxygen species from dysfunctional mitochondria. While the involvement of mitophagy in neurodegenerative diseases has been thoroughly investigated, it is becoming increasingly evident that mitophagy plays a significant role in cancer biology. Perturbations in mitophagy pathways lead to suboptimal mitochondrial quality control, catalyzing various aspects of carcinogenesis, including establishing metabolic plasticity, stemness, metabolic reconfiguration of cancer-associated fibroblasts, and immunomodulation. While mitophagy performs a delicate balancing act at the intersection of cell survival and cell death, mounting evidence indicates that, particularly in the context of stress responses induced by cancer therapy, it predominantly promotes cell survival. Here, we showcase an overview of the current understanding of the role of mitophagy in cancer biology and its potential as a target for cancer therapy. Gaining a more comprehensive insight into the interaction between cancer therapy and mitophagy has the potential to reveal novel targets and pathways, paving the way for enhanced treatment strategies for therapy-resistant tumors in the near future.

Inflammation 2024:10.1007/s10753-024-02070-x. [PMID: 38886294 DOI: 10.1007/s10753-024-02070-x] [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: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Abstract-Obesity-related asthma is primarily characterized by nonallergic inflammation, with pathogenesis involving oxidative stress, metabolic imbalance, and immunoinflammatory mechanisms. M1 macrophages, which predominantly secrete pro-inflammatory factors, mediate insulin resistance and systemic metabolic inflammation in obese individuals. Concurrently, adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) serves as a critical regulator of intracellular energy metabolism and is closely associated with macrophage activation. However, their specific roles and associated mechanisms in obesity-related asthma remain to be explored. In this study, we investigated the macrophage polarization status and potential interventional mechanisms through obesity-related asthmatic models and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -treated RAW264.7 cell with a comprehensive series of evaluations, including HE, PAS and Masson staining of lung histopathology, immunohistochemical staining, immunofluorescence technology, qRT-PCR, Western Blot, and ELISA inflammatory factor analysis. The results revealed M1 macrophage polarization in obesity-related asthmatic lung tissue alongside downregulation of AMPK expression. Under LPS stimulation, exogenous AMPK activation attenuated M1 macrophage polarization via the Janus kinase 2/ signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathway. Additionally, in obesity-related asthmatic mice, AMPK activation was found to alleviate airway inflammation by regulating M1 macrophage polarization, the mechanism closely associated with the JAK2/STAT3 pathway. These findings not only advance our understanding of macrophage polarization in obesity-related asthma, but also provide new therapeutic targets for its treatment.

Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2024; 281:3005-3015. [PMID: 38233691 DOI: 10.1007/s00405-024-08450-1] [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: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES TAM receptors (TYRO3, AXL, and MER) play important roles in inflammatory responses, but their effects in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) remain elucidated. We aim to evaluate the values of TAM receptors in disease severity and postoperative recurrence of CRSwNP. METHODS We initially enrolled 160 patients with CRSwNP who were treated with functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and postoperative recurrence was evaluated during the follow-up period. Circulating TAM receptor levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and tissue expressions were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemical (IHC). The relationships between TAM receptor levels and postoperative recurrence were examined. RESULTS A total of 150 patients completed the follow-up schedule, 49 patients experienced postoperative recurrence and the remaining 101 patients were non-recurrent. In recurrent CRSwNP patients, serum levels of TAM receptors were increased compared to those in non-recurrent patients and were positively correlated with disease severity scores (P < 0.05). Circulating TYRO3 and MER were identified as potential predictors of postoperative recurrence based on receiver operating characteristics (ROC) and Kaplan-Meier plots (P < 0.05). Furthermore, tissue TAM receptor levels, as determined by both RT-PCR and IHC, were enhanced in the recurrent group than in the non-recurrent group (P < 0.05) and were predictive of postoperative recurrence (P < 0.05). Interestingly, circulating TYRO3 and MER concentrations, as well as tissue TYRO3 expression, were found to be significantly increased in patients who experienced postoperative recurrence (P < 0.05). IHC images from the same patients revealed that TAM expressions were enhanced in the recurrent tissues compared to their baseline tissue levels. CONCLUSIONS Our laboratory results demonstrated that TAM receptors were increased in recurrent CRSwNP patients and associated with postoperative recurrence. Moreover, the new laboratory findings suggested that measuring circulating levels of TAM receptors might serve as a promising new approach to assess disease progression and predict the risk of postoperative recurrence.

Abstract
Chronic wounds, resulting from persistent inflammation, can trigger a cascade of detrimental effects including exacerbating inflammatory cytokines, compromised blood circulation at the wound site, elevation of white blood cell count, increased reactive oxygen species, and the potential risk of bacterial infection. The interleukin-17 (IL-17) signaling pathway, which plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses, has been identified as a promising target for treating inflammatory skin diseases. This review aims to delve deeper into the potential pathological role and molecular mechanisms of the IL-17 family and its pathways in wound repair. The intricate interactions between IL-17 and other cytokines will be discussed in detail, along with the activation of various signaling pathways, to provide a comprehensive understanding of IL-17's involvement in chronic wound inflammation and repair.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Numerous studies have demonstrated that various traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) exhibit potent anti-inflammatory effects against inflammatory diseases mediated through macrophage polarization and metabolic reprogramming. AIM OF THE STUDY The objective of this review was to assess and consolidate the current understanding regarding the pathogenic mechanisms governing macrophage polarization in the context of regulating inflammatory diseases. We also summarize the mechanism action of various TCMs on the regulation of macrophage polarization, which may contribute to facilitate the development of natural anti-inflammatory drugs based on reshaping macrophage polarization. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a comprehensive review of recently published articles, utilizing keywords such as "macrophage polarization" and "traditional Chinese medicines" in combination with "inflammation," as well as "macrophage polarization" and "inflammation" in conjunction with "natural products," and similar combinations, to search within PubMed and Google Scholar databases. RESULTS A total of 113 kinds of TCMs (including 62 components of TCMs, 27 TCMs as well as various types of extracts of TCMs and 24 Chinese prescriptions) was reported to exert anti-inflammatory effects through the regulation of key pathways of macrophage polarization and metabolic reprogramming. CONCLUSIONS In this review, we have analyzed studies concerning the involvement of macrophage polarization and metabolic reprogramming in inflammation therapy. TCMs has great advantages in regulating macrophage polarization in treating inflammatory diseases due to its multi-pathway and multi-target pharmacological action. This review may contribute to facilitate the development of natural anti-inflammatory drugs based on reshaping macrophage polarization.

Abstract
Nur77 belongs to the NR4A subfamily of orphan nuclear hormone receptors. It has been shown to play important roles in metabolism, cancer progression, cellular differentiation, and the regulation of immune process. However, there has yet to be research reporting on the role of Nur77 in allergic inflammations such as anaphylaxis. This study aimed to identify molecules that could mediate allergic inflammations. To this end, we performed RNA sequencing analysis employing bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs). Antigen (DNP-HSA) stimulation increased the expression levels of transcription factors such as Nr4a3 (NOR1), Nr4a1 (Nur77), and Nr4a2 (Nurr1). We focused our study on Nur77. Antigen stimulation increased the expression of Nur77 in a time- and dose-dependent manner in rat basophilic leukemia cells (RBL2H3). The downregulation of Nur77 prevented both antigen-induced increase in β-hexosaminidase activity as well as hallmarks of allergic reactions such as HDAC3, COX2, and MCP1 in RBL2H3 cells. Nur77 was necessary for both passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) and passive systemic anaphylaxis (PSA). TargetScan analysis predicted that miR-21a would be a negative regulator of Nur77. miR-21a mimic negatively regulated PCA and PSA by inhibiting the hallmarks of allergic reactions. ChIP assays showed that c-JUN could bind to the promoter sequences of Nur77. Antigen stimulation increased the expression of c-JUN in RBL2H3 cells. Altogether, our findings demonstrate the regulatory role played by Nur77-miR-21a loop in allergic inflammations such as anaphylaxis, making this the first report to present the role played by Nur77 in an allergic inflammation. Our results suggest that Nur77 and miR-21 might serve as targets for developing anti-allergy drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND SMYD3 refers to a histone lysine methyltransferase from the SMYD family, which acts as a gene transcriptional regulator chiefly through catalysis of the histone subunit 3 at lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3). Great progress has been made that epigenetic modification plays a pivotal role in regulating macrophage polarization. However, the effects of the histone lysine methyltransferase SMYD3 on macrophage polarization and phenotypic switching are unclear. RESULTS We found that LPS/IFN-γ-stimulated macrophages gradually transformed from M1 to M2 in the late stage, and SMYD3 played a key role in this process. As demonstrated by RNA-seq assessment, SMYD3 prominently activated a metabolic pathway known as TCA cycle inside macrophages during M1-M2 conversion. Besides, by modifying H3K4me3 histone, the target genes regulated by SMYD3 were identified via the ChIP-seq assessment, including citrate synthase (CS), succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit C (SDHC) and pyruvate carboxylase (PC). SMYD3 activated the transcriptional activities of the metabolic enzymes CS, SDHC and PC through H3K4me3 by causing the aggregation of citrate, an intramacrophage metabolite, and the depletion of succinate. And additionally, it facilitated the generation of ROS, as well as the expressions of genes associated with mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes. This increased ROS production ultimately induced mitophagy, triggering the M1 to M2 phenotype switch in the macrophages. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides a detailed intrinsic mechanism in the macrophage phenotypic transition process, in short, SMYD3 promotes the M1-M2 conversion of macrophages by activating the TCA cycle through the simultaneous regulation of the transcriptional activities of the metabolic enzymes CS, SDHC and PC.

Abstract
DEK protein is highly expressed in asthma. However, the mechanism of DEK on mitophagy in asthma has not been fully understood. This study aims to investigate the role and mechanism of DEK in asthmatic airway inflammation and in regulating PINK1-Parkin-mediated mitophagy, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and apoptosis. PINK1-Parkin mitophagy, NLRP3 inflammasome, and apoptosis were examined after gene silencing or treatment with specific inhibitors (MitoTEMPO, MCC950, and Ac-DEVD-CHO) in house dust mite (HDM) or recombinant DEK (rmDEK)-induced WT and DEK-/- asthmatic mice and BEAS-2B cells. The regulatory role of DEK on ATAD3A was detected using ChIP-sequence and co-immunoprecipitation. rmDEK promoted eosinophil recruitment, and co-localization of TOM20 and LC3B, MFN1 and mitochondria, LC3B and VDAC, and ROS generation, reduced protein level of MnSOD in HDM induced-asthmatic mice. Moreover, rmDEK also increased DRP1 expression, PINK1-Parkin-mediated mitophagy, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and apoptosis. These effects were partially reversed in DEK-/- mice. In BEAS-2B cells, siDEK diminished the Parkin, LC3B, and DRP1 translocation to mitochondria, mtROS, TOM20, and mtDNA. ChIP-sequence analysis showed that DEK was enriched on the ATAD3A promoter and could positively regulate ATAD3A expression. Additionally, ATAD3A was highly expressed in HDM-induced asthma models and interacted with DRP1, and siATAD3A could down-regulate DRP1 and mtDNA-mediated mitochondrial oxidative damage. Conclusively, DEK deficiency alleviates airway inflammation in asthma by down-regulating PINK1-Parkin mitophagy, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and apoptosis. The mechanism may be through the DEK/ATAD3A/DRP1 signaling axis. Our findings may provide new potential therapeutic targets for asthma treatment.

Liang X, Wang Z, Dai Z, Liu J, Zhang H, Wen J, Zhang N, Zhang J, Luo P, Liu Z, Liu Z, Cheng Q. Oxidative stress is involved in immunosuppression and macrophage regulation in glioblastoma. Clin Immunol 2024; 258:109802. [PMID: 37866784 DOI: 10.1016/j.clim.2023.109802] [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: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023]
Abstract
Oxidative stress dually affected cancer progression, while its effect on glioblastomas remained unclear. Herein, we clustered the multicenter glioblastoma cohorts based on the oxidative-stress-responsive genes (OSS) expression. We found that cluster 2 with high OSS levels suffered a worse prognosis. Functional analyses and immune-related analyses results exhibited that M2-like pro-tumoral macrophages and neutrophils were enriched in cluster 2, while Natural killer cells' infiltration was decreased. The increased M2-like pro-tumoral macrophages in cluster 2 was confirmed by immunofluorescence. An integrated single-cell analysis validated the malignant features of cluster 2 neoplastic cells and discovered their crosstalk with M2-like pro-tumoral macrophages. Moreover, we observed that SOD3 knockdown might decrease the M2-like pro-tumoral transformation of macrophage in vitro and in vivo. Comprehensively, we revealed oxidative stress' prognostic and immunosuppressive potential in glioblastoma and discovered SOD3's potential role in regulating macrophage M2-like pro-tumoral transformation.

Abstract
Nootkatone (NKT) exhibits potential pharmacological activities including anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation. Nevertheless, little is known about the roles of NKT in asthmatic airway inflammation. In the study, mice were sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin (OVA) to establish experimental allergic asthma model. After treatment with NKT, lung tissues, peripheral blood, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected to assess inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, and pathological alternations. The effects of NKT on regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation was assessed in IL-13-treated BEAS-2B cell model. We found that NKT treatment decreased the production of Th2 inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13) in BALF and IgE levels in serum, and alleviated inflammatory cell penetration, goblet cell proliferation, collagen accumulation, and mucus hypersecretion in lung tissues. NKT treatment mitigated oxidative stress and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in asthmatic mice. IL-13 treatment induced oxidative stress and NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis in BEAS-2B bronchial epithelial cells, whereas these effects were blocked by NKT. NKT protected against airway remodeling, as indicated by decreased epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Taken together, these results demonstrate that NKT mitigates asthmatic airway inflammation by inhibiting ROS-triggered NLRP3 activation and may be a potential agent for treating asthma.

Abstract
Sepsis presents as a severe infectious disease frequently documented in clinical settings. Characterized by its systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis has the potential to trigger multi-organ dysfunction and can escalate to becoming life-threatening. A common fallout from sepsis is acute lung injury (ALI), which often progresses to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Macrophages, due to their significant role in the immune system, are receiving increased attention in clinical studies. Macrophage polarization is a process that hinges on an intricate regulatory network influenced by a myriad of signaling molecules, transcription factors, epigenetic modifications, and metabolic reprogramming. In this review, our primary focus is on the classically activated macrophages (M1-like) and alternatively activated macrophages (M2-like) as the two paramount phenotypes instrumental in sepsis' host immune response. An imbalance between M1-like and M2-like macrophages can precipitate the onset and exacerbate the progression of sepsis. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between macrophage polarization and sepsis-induced acute lung injury (SALI) and elaborates on the intervention strategy that centers around the crucial process of macrophage polarization.

Abstract
Chronic inflammatory respiratory diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis, present ongoing challenges in terms of effective treatment and management. These diseases are characterized by persistent inflammation in the airways, leading to structural changes and compromised lung function. There are several treatments available for them, such as bronchodilators, immunomodulators, and oxygen therapy. However, there are still some shortcomings in the effectiveness and side effects of drugs. To achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes while minimizing systemic side effects, targeted therapies and precise drug delivery systems are crucial to the management of these diseases. This comprehensive review focuses on the role of drug delivery systems in chronic inflammatory respiratory diseases, particularly nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems, inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs), novel biologicals, gene therapy, and personalized medicine. By examining the latest advancements and strategies in these areas, we aim to provide a thorough understanding of the current landscape and future prospects for improving treatment outcomes in these challenging conditions.

Abstract
随着铜绿假单胞菌(铜绿)的耐药性逐年增强,铜绿感染已经成为公共医疗卫生的重点关注问题。线粒体自噬及其介导的线粒体功能障碍在多种细菌感染中已被报道,但线粒体功能障碍在宿主调控铜绿感染中的作用尚不明确。因此,本研究建立铜绿刺激小鼠巨噬细胞感染模型和小鼠急性铜绿感染模型,探讨铜绿是否通过诱导线粒体自噬改变线粒体功能,进而影响宿主免疫炎症反应和细胞毒性,并通过监测生存率和肺组织病理学变化进一步确定线粒体自噬在小鼠铜绿体内感染模型中的作用。结果表明,铜绿引起小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞线粒体功能障碍,并通过线粒体自噬途径清除铜绿刺激引起的活性氧(ROS)累积,从而抑制铜绿引起的促炎性细胞因子分泌并增强细胞毒性。体内实验进一步确认线粒体自噬在铜绿体内感染中的作用。

Chronic treatment with IL-25 increases renal M2 macrophages and reduces renal injury in obese Dahl salt-sensitive rats during the prepubescent stage. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 2023; 325:F87-F98.

Abstract
Recently, we have reported that the early progression of proteinuria in the obese Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) leptin receptor mutant (SSLepRmutant) strain was associated with increased renal macrophage infiltration before puberty. Macrophages can be divided into two distinct phenotypes: M1 (proinflammatory) and M2 (anti-inflammatory). Moreover, previous studies have demonstrated that interleukin (IL)-25 converts resting macrophages and M1 into M2. Therefore, the present study examined whether treatment with IL-25 would reduce the early progression of renal injury in SSLepRmutant rats by increasing renal M2. We also investigated the impact of IL-25 on M2 subtypes: M2a (wound healing/anti-inflammatory), M2b (immune mediated/proinflammatory), M2c (regulatory/anti-inflammatory), and M2d (tumor associated/proangiogenic). Four-wk-old SS and SSLepRmutant rats were treated with either control (IgG) or IL-25 (1 µg/day ip every other day) for 4 wk. The kidneys from SSLepRmutant rats displayed progressive proteinuria and renal histopathology versus SS rats. IL-25 treatment had no effect on these parameters in SS rats. However, in the SSLepRmutant strain, proteinuria was markedly reduced after IL-25 treatment. Chronic treatment with IL-25 significantly decreased glomerular and tubular injury and renal fibrosis in the SSLepRmutant strain. Although the administration of IL-25 did not change total renal macrophage infiltration in both SS and SSLepRmutant rats, IL-25 increased M2a by >50% and reduced M1 by 60% in the kidneys of SSLepRmutant rats. Overall, these data indicate that IL-25 reduces the early progression of renal injury in SSLepRmutant rats by inducing M2a and suppressing M1 and suggest that IL-25 may be a therapeutic target for renal disease associated with obesity. NEW & NOTEWORTHY For the past few decades, immune cells and inflammatory cytokines have been demonstrated to play an important role in the development of renal disease. The present study provides strong evidence that interleukin-25 slows the early progression of renal injury in obese Dahl salt-sensitive rats before puberty by increasing systemic anti-inflammatory cytokines and renal M2a macrophages.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 114:154773. [PMID: 36990011 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.154773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic wounds represent a severe clinical challenge in which impaired M2 macrophage polarization and continuous macrophage glycolysis play crucial roles. Calycosin-7-glucoside (CG) is an isoflavone component in Astragali Radix (AR), which has become a research focus for treating diabetic wounds following reports indicating that it has anti-inflammatory effects. However, the mechanism through which CG can treat diabetic wounds is yet to be deciphered. PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of CG on diabetic wounds and its underlying mechanism. METHODS The potential mechanism underlying the treatment of diabetic wounds by CG was screened using bioinformatics. The therapeutic effects of CG were then investigated using a db/db diabetic wound model. Moreover, an LPS- and IFN-γ-induced RAW264.7 cell inflammation model was used to elucidate the mechanism underlying the therapeutic effects of CG against diabetic wounds. RESULTS Network pharmacology predicted that the AMPK pathway could be the main target through which CG treats diabetic wounds. In db/db diabetic mice, CG could accelerate wound healing and promote granulation tissue regeneration. Protein chip technology revealed that CG increased the production of M-CSF, G-CSF, GM-CSF, IL-10, IL-13, and IL-4 but not that of MCP-1, IL-1β, IL-1α, TNF-α, and TNF-RII. Moreover, CG elevated the proportion of Ly6CLo/- anti-inflammatory monocytes in peripheral blood and M2 macrophages in the wound. The ELISA and flow cytometry analyses revealed that CG enhanced the levels of IL-10, VEGF, CD206, and Arg-1 expression whereas it considerably reduced the levels of IL-1, IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α, CD86, and iNOS expression. Meanwhile, CG increased the macrophage mitochondrial membrane potential and decreased the mitochondrial ADP/ATP ratio and glycolysis rate of M1 macrophages through the ROS/AMPK/STAT6 pathway. CONCLUSIONS The network pharmacology and molecular dockin identified the AMPK pathway as a critical pathway for treating diabetic wounds using topical CG application. CG was found to promote anti-inflammatory monocyte recruitment and decrease the mitochondrial glycolysis rate to induce M2 macrophage polarization via the ROS/AMPK/STAT6 pathway. These results suggest that CG might be a promising therapeutic agent for diabetic wounds.

Paeoniflorin suppresses kidney inflammation by regulating macrophage polarization via KLF4-mediated mitophagy. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 116:154901.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Macrophages M1 polarization involved in the process of renal inflammatory injury, is a well-established hallmark of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Paeoniflorin (PF), a water-soluble monoterpene glycoside extracted from Paeonia lactiflora, revealed renal anti-inflammatory activities in our previous study. However, the potential molecular mechanism of PF on CKD remains unknown. PURPOSE The present study aims to investigate the regulation of PF on macrophage polarization in CKD. METHODS A CKD model was established by cationic bovine serum albumin and a murine macrophage cell line RAW264.7 induced with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were used to clarify the underlying mechanisms of PF in CKD. RESULTS Results showed that PF exhibited favorable protective effects on CKD model mice by promoting renal function, ameliorating renal pathological injury and podocyte damage. Furthermore, PF inhibited the infiltration of M1 macrophage marker CD68 and iNOS in kidney tissue, but increased the proportion of M2 macrophage marker CD206. In RAW264.7 cells stimulated with LPS, the levels of cytokines including IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, MCP-1 were lessened under PF treatment, while the levels of Arg1, Fizz1, IL-10 and Ym-1 were augmented. These results indicated that PF promoted macrophage polarization from M1 to M2 in vivo and in vitro. More importantly, PF repaired the damaged mitochondria through increasing mitochondrial membrane potential and reducing ROS accumulation. The mitophagy-related proteins PINK1, Parkin, Bnip3, P62 and LC3 were up-regulated by PF, accompanied by the incremental expressions of Krüppel-like transcription factor 4 (KLF4). Moreover, the promotion of mitophagy and inhibition of M1 macrophage polarization owing to PF were reversed by mitophagy inhibitor Mdivi-1 or silencing KLF4. CONCLUSION Overall, PF suppressed renal inflammation by promoting macrophage polarization from M1 to M2 and inducing mitophagy via regulating KLF4. It is expected to provide a new strategy for exploring the effects of PF in treating CKD.

Abstract
Mitophagy is a type of autophagy that can selectively eliminate damaged and depolarized mitochondria to maintain mitochondrial activity and cellular homeostasis. Several pathways have been found to participate in different steps of mitophagy. Mitophagy plays a significant role in the homeostasis and physiological function of vascular endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and macrophages, and is involved in the development of atherosclerosis (AS). At present, many medications and natural chemicals have been shown to alter mitophagy and slow the progression of AS. This review serves as an introduction to the field of mitophagy for researchers interested in targeting this pathway as part of a potential AS management strategy.

Abstract
The redox state is essential to the process of cell life, which determines cell fate. As an important signaling molecule of the redox state, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are crucial for the homeostasis of immune cells and participate in the pathological processes of different diseases. We discuss the underlying mechanisms and possible signaling pathways of ROS to fine-tune the proliferation, differentiation, polarization and function of immune cells, including T cells, B cells, neutrophils, macrophages, myeloid-derived inhibitory cells (MDSCs) and dendritic cells (DCs). We further emphasize how excessive ROS lead to programmed immune cell death such as apoptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, NETosis and necroptosis, providing valuable insights for future therapeutic strategies in human diseases.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has now become the leading chronic liver disease worldwide with lifestyle changes. This may lead to NAFLD becoming the leading cause of end-stage liver disease in the future. To date, there are still no effective therapeutic drugs for NAFLD. An in-depth exploration of the pathogenesis of NAFLD can help to provide a basis for new therapeutic agents or strategies. As the most important immune cells of the liver, macrophages play an important role in the occurrence and development of liver inflammation and are expected to become effective targets for NAFLD treatment. Programmed cell death (PCD) of macrophages plays a regulatory role in phenotypic transformation, and there is also a certain connection between different types of PCD. However, how PCD regulates macrophage polarization has still not been systematically elucidated. Based on the role of lipid metabolic reprogramming in macrophage polarization, PCD may alter the phenotype by regulating lipid metabolism. We reviewed the effects of macrophages on inflammation in NAFLD and changes in their lipid metabolism, as well as the relationship between different types of PCD and lipid metabolism in macrophages. Furthermore, interactions between different types of PCD and potential therapeutic agents targeting of macrophages PCD are also explored.

Abstract
Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease frequently associated with airway inflammation and remodeling. The development of asthma involves various inflammatory phenotypes that impact therapeutic effects, and macrophages are master innate immune cells in the airway that exert diverse functions including phagocytosis, antigen presentation, and pathogen clearance, playing an important role in the pathogeneses of asthma. Recent studies have indicated that autophagy of macrophages affects polarization of phenotype and regulation of inflammation, which implies that regulating autophagy of macrophages may be a potential strategy for the treatment of asthma. Thus, this review summarizes the signaling pathways and effects of macrophage autophagy in asthma, which will provide a tactic for the development of novel targets for the treatment of this disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) produce an excessive amount of cysteine proteases, and we aimed to study the effects of anticancer rhenium(I)-diselenoether (Re-diSe) on the production of cathepsins B and S by macrophages. We investigated the effect of Re-diSe on lipopolysaccharides (LPS) induced M1 macrophages, or by interleukin 6 (IL-6) induced M2 macrophages. METHODS Non-stimulated or prestimulated murine Raw 264 or human THP-1 macrophages were exposed to increasing concentrations of the drug (5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 μM) and viability was assayed by the MTT assay. The amount of cysteine proteases was evaluated by ELISA tests, the number of M1 and M2 macrophages by the expression of CD80 or CD206 biomarkers. The binding of Re-diSe with GSH as a model thiol-containing protein was studied by mass spectrometry. RESULTS A dose-dependent decrease in cathepsins B and S was observed in M1 macrophages. There was no effect in non-stimulated cells. The drug induced a dramatic dose-dependent increase in M1 expression in both cells, significantly decreased the M2 expression in Raw 264 and had no effect in non-stimulated macrophages. The binding of the Re atom with the thiols was clearly demonstrated. CONCLUSION The increase in the number of M1 and a decrease in M2 macrophages treated by Re-diSe could be related to the decrease in cysteine proteases upon binding of their thiol residues with the Re atom.

Abstract
Arsenic is an environmental factor associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Since macrophages play a crucial role in regulating EMT, we studied the effects of arsenic on macrophage polarization. We first determined the arsenic concentrations to be used by cell viability assays in conjunction with previous studies. In our results, arsenic treatment increased the alternatively activated (M2) macrophage markers, including arginase 1 (ARG-1) gene expression, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 16 (CCL16), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and the cluster of differentiation 206 (CD206) surface marker. Arsenic-treated macrophages promoted A549 lung epithelial cell invasion and migration in a cell co-culture model and a 3D gel cell co-culture model, confirming that arsenic treatment promoted EMT in lung epithelial cells. We confirmed that arsenic induced autophagy/mitophagy by microtubule-associated protein 1 light-chain 3-II (LC3 II) and phosphor-Parkin (p-Parkin) protein markers. The autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CQ) recovered the expression of the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene in arsenic-treated M1 macrophages, which represents a confirmation that arsenic indeed induced the repolarization of classically activated (M1) macrophage to M2 macrophages through the autophagy/mitophagy pathway. Next, we verified that arsenic increased M2 cell markers in mouse blood and lungs. This study suggests that mitophagy is involved in the arsenic-induced M1 macrophage switch to an M2-like phenotype.

Abstract
Interleukin-25 (IL-25), also known as IL-17E, is a recently identified cytokine of the IL-17 family. Numerous studies illustrated that the expression of IL-25 is regulated by multiple pathogens, including parasitic, viral, and bacterial infections. IL-25 has a dual function in infectious diseases. On the one hand, IL-25 activates type 2 immunity via the relevant cytokines, including IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, which are associated with the development of pathogenic infection-related allergic diseases. On the other hand, IL-25 involves in the recruitment of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) to enhanced T helper 2 (Th2) cell differentiation, which are important to the clearance of pathogens. However, the precise roles of IL-25 in infectious diseases remain largely unknown. Thus, the current review will shed light on the pivotal roles of IL-25 in infectious diseases.
