[PMID: 35432368 PMCID: PMC9010780 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.688619] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 03/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
As a vital pivot for the human circulatory system, the brain-gut axis is now being considered as an important channel for many of the small immune molecules’ transductions, including interleukins, interferons, neurotransmitters, peptides, and the chemokines penetrating the mesentery and blood brain barrier (BBB) during the development of an ischemic stroke (IS). Hypoxia-ischemia contributes to pituitary and neurofunctional disorders by interfering with the molecular signal release and communication then providing feedback to the gut. Suffering from such a disease on a long-term basis may cause the peripheral system’s homeostasis to become imbalanced, and it can also lead to multiple intestinal complications such as gut microbiota dysbiosis (GMD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and even the tumorigenesis of colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Correspondingly, these complications will deteriorate the cerebral infarctions and, in patients suffering with IS, it can even ruin the brain’s immune system. This review summarized recent studies on abnormal immunological signal exchange mediated polarization subtype changes, in both macrophages and microglial cells as well as T-lymphocytes. How gut complications modulate the immune signal transduction from the brain are also elucidated and analyzed. The conclusions drawn in this review could provide guidance and novel strategies to benefit remedies for both IS and relative gut lesions from immune-prophylaxis and immunotherapy aspects.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment is essential for the formation and development of tumors. Cytokines in the microenvironment may affect the growth, metastasis and prognosis of tumors, and play different roles in different stages of tumors, of which transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) are critical. The two have synergistic and antagonistic effect on tumor regulation. The inhibition of TGF-β can promote the formation rate of tumor, while TGF-β can promote the malignancy of tumor. TNF-α was initially determined to be a natural immune serum mediator that can induce tumor hemorrhagic necrosis, it has a wide range of biological activities and can be used clinically as a target to immune diseases as well as tumors. However, there are few reports on the interaction between the two in the tumor microenvironment. This paper combs the biological effect of the two in different aspects of different tumors. We summarized the changes and clinical medication rules of the two in different tissue cells, hoping to provide a new idea for the clinical application of the two cytokines.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling plays essential roles in the regulation of early tooth development. It is well acknowledged that extracellular BMP ligands bind to the type I and type II transmembrane serine/threonine kinase receptor complexes to trigger the BMP signaling pathway. Then, the receptor-activated Smad1/5/8 in cytoplasm binds to Smad4, the central mediator of the canonical BMP signaling pathway, to form transfer complexes for entering the nucleus and regulating target gene expression. However, a recent study revealed the functional operation of a novel BMP-mediated signaling pathway named the atypical BMP canonical signaling pathway in mouse developing tooth, which is Smad1/5/8 dependent but Smad4 independent. In this study, we investigated whether this atypical BMP canonical signaling is conserved in human odontogenesis. We showed that pSMAD1/5/8 is required for the expression of Msh homeobox 1 (MSX1), a well-defined BMP signaling target gene, in human dental mesenchyme, but the typical BMP canonical signaling is in fact not operating in the early human developing tooth, as evidenced by the absence of pSMAD1/5/8-SMAD4 complexes in the dental mesenchyme and translocation of pSMAD1/5/8, and the expression of MSX1 induced by BMP4 is mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4 (SMAD4)-independent in human dental mesenchymal cells. Moreover, integrative analysis of RNA-Seq data sets comparing the transcriptome profiles of human dental mesenchymal cells with and without SMAD4 knockdown by siRNA displays unchanged expression profiles of pSMAD1/5/8 downstream target genes, further affirming the functional operation of the atypical canonical BMP signaling pathway in a SMAD1/5/8-dependent but SMAD4-independent manner in the dental mesenchyme during early odontogenesis in humans.

[PMID: 34903915 PMCID: PMC8654744 DOI: 10.14202/vetworld.2021.2602-2612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2021] [Accepted: 08/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Fibrin forms in the coagulation process, enhancing local hemostatic properties and promoting wound healing. The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of bubaline-derived fibrin glue in silk ligature-induced periodontitis rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bubaline blood-derived fibrin glue was prepared using cryoprecipitation and cryocentrifugation. Periodontitis was induced in rats by placing 5-0 silk ligatures around the mandibular first molars. The animals were divided into two groups: (1) Non-treatment and (2) bubaline fibrin glue-treated groups. Plaque, gingival inflammation, and mobility index were scored on days 1, 7, and 14 after intervention. Histological examinations were performed. The mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines and growth factors was evaluated using a real-time polymerase chain reaction. Ligature-induced periodontitis was confirmed by the increase in inflammatory cell infiltration as well as histological bone and attachment loss. RESULTS Compared to the non-treatment group, bubaline fibrin glue application reduced mononuclear cell infiltration into periodontal tissues corresponding to the reduction of collagen destruction. On days 7 and 14 after intervention, the inflammatory score and histological attachment loss were significantly lower in the bubaline fibrin glue-treated group than in the non-treatment group. A significant reduction in histological bone loss was observed in the treated group on day 7. Bubaline fibrin glue application led to a significant reduction of Tnfa and Il1b mRNA levels, while an increased expression of Pdgfa, Tgfb1, and Il10 was observed compared with the control. CONCLUSION Bubaline fibrin glue could be beneficial in periodontitis treatment aiming to reduce inflammation and delay the progression of periodontal disease.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia may cause irreversible neural network damage and result in functional deficits. Targeting neuronal repair after stroke potentiates the formation of new connections, which can be translated into a better functional outcome. Innate and adaptive immune responses in the brain and the periphery triggered by ischemic damage participate in regulating neural repair after a stroke. Immune cells in the blood circulation and gut lymphatic tissues that have been shaped by immune components including gut microbiota and metabolites can infiltrate the ischemic brain and, once there, influence neuronal regeneration either directly or by modulating the properties of brain-resident immune cells. Immune-related signalings and metabolites from the gut microbiota can also directly alter the phenotypes of resident immune cells to promote neuronal regeneration. In this review, we discuss several potential mechanisms through which peripheral and brain-resident immune components can cooperate to promote first the resolution of neuroinflammation and subsequently to improved neural regeneration and a better functional recovery. We propose that new insights into discovery of regulators targeting pro-regenerative process in this complex neuro-immune network may lead to novel strategies for neuronal regeneration.

Abstract
Objective Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a downregulated immune response. The mechanisms of the immune response, especially regarding immune-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), in periodontitis remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze the immune cell landscapes and immune-related transcriptome expression in periodontitis. Materials and Methods The periodontitis-related microarray data set GSE16134 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Then, the proportions of the infiltrated immune cell subpopulations were evaluated by Cell-type Identification By Estimating Relative Subsets Of RNA Transcripts (CIBERSORT). Differentially expressed immune-related genes (DEMGs) and lncRNAs were analyzed by the “limma” package in R software. Co-expression of DEMGs and lncRNAs in immune cell subpopulations was evaluated. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to identify alterations in immune function through potential pathways. Results Increased numbers of plasma cells were observed in periodontitis-affected tissues versus those of healthy tissues, while T cells were downregulated. A total of 51 DEMGs were identified, and 12 immune-related signaling pathways were enriched by GSEA, most of which were related to the stimulation and function of B cells and T cells. Only 3 differentially upregulated lncRNAs (FAM30A, GUSBP11, and LINC00525) were screened for the regulation of the immune response. Besides, the level of lncRNAs (FAM30A, GUSBP11, and LINC00525) expression were positively correlated with the fraction of plasma cells in periodontitis. Conclusion The discovery of differentially expressed immune-related transcriptomes in periodontitis lesions helps to explain the regulation of the immune mechanism in the development of periodontitis.

Nerve growth factor activates autophagy in Schwann cells to enhance myelin debris clearance and to expedite nerve regeneration. Theranostics 2020; 10:1649-1677.

Abstract
Rationale: Autophagy in Schwann cells (SCs) is crucial for myelin debris degradation and clearance following peripheral nerve injury (PNI). Nerve growth factor (NGF) plays an important role in reconstructing peripheral nerve fibers and promoting axonal regeneration. However, it remains unclear if NGF effect in enhancing nerve regeneration is mediated through autophagic clearance of myelin debris in SCs. Methods: In vivo, free NGF solution plus with/without pharmacological inhibitors were administered to a rat sciatic nerve crush injury model. In vitro, the primary Schwann cells (SCs) and its cell line were cultured in normal medium containing NGF, their capable of swallowing or clearing degenerated myelin was evaluated through supplement of homogenized myelin fractions. Results: Administration of exogenous NGF could activate autophagy in dedifferentiated SCs, accelerate myelin debris clearance and phagocytosis, as well as promote axon and myelin regeneration at early stage of PNI. These NGF effects were effectively blocked by autophagy inhibitors. In addition, inhibition of the p75 kD neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) signal or inactivation of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) also inhibited the NGF effect as well. Conclusions: NGF effect on promoting early nerve regeneration is closely associated with its accelerating autophagic clearance of myelin debris in SCs, which probably regulated by the p75NTR/AMPK/mTOR axis. Our studies thus provide strong support that NGF may serve as a powerful pharmacological therapy for peripheral nerve injuries.

Abstract
Background: IL-1β is reported to be involved in cancer development and distant metastasis. However, the underlying mechanism of IL-1β upon malignant behaviors remains largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to study whether IL-1β could enhance the stemness traits of tumor cells. Methods: The concentrations of serum IL-1β in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and melanoma patients were detected using ELISA assay. The effect and mechanisms of IL-1β on tumor cell growth, migration, invasion and stemness characters were studied using HNSCC cell SCC7 and melanoma cell B16-F10. The underlying mechanisms were further explored. Results: Enhanced concentrations of IL-1β were positively correlated with advanced tumor stage in both HNSCC and melanoma patients. IL-1β treatment led to a significant increase in tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo. IL-1β stimulation promoted cell proliferation, colony formation and tumorigenicity. In addition, IL-1β-stimulated tumor cells gained enhanced capabilities on wounding healing and invasion capabilities. Moreover, IL-1β stimulation promoted the stem-like capabilities of both HNSCC cells and melanoma cells, including the enrichment of aldehyde dehydrogenase+ (ALDH+) cells, up-regulation of stem cell related markers Nanog, OCT4, and SOX2, sphere formation and chemoresistance. Mechanistically, IL-1β treatment promoted the phosphorylation of Smad1/5/8 and activated its downstream target inhibitor of differentiation 1 (ID1). Silencing ID1 abrogated sphere formation and upregulated expression of stemness genes which were induced by IL-1β stimulation. Conclusion: Our data demonstrates that IL-1β promotes the stemness of HNSCC and melanoma cells through activating Smad/ID1 signal pathway.

Abstract
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is recognized as a pleiotropic molecule, exerting a variety of biological effects on different cell types and pathophysiological conditions, and its role in tissue wound healing has been recently highlighted. However, the preferential cellular target of NGF is still elusive in the complex cellular and molecular cross talk that accompanies wound healing. Thus, to explore possible NGF cellular targets in skin wound healing, we investigated the in vitro NGF responsiveness of keratinocytes (cell line HEKa), fibroblasts (cell line BJ), and endothelial cells (cell line HUVEC), also in the presence of adverse microenvironmental conditions, e.g., hyperglycemia. The main results are summarized as follows: 1) NGF stimulates keratinocyte proliferation and HUVEC proliferation and angiogenesis in a dose-dependent manner although it has no effect on fibroblast proliferation; 2) NGF stimulates keratinocyte but not fibroblast migration in the wound healing assay; and 3) NGF completely reverts the proliferation impairment of keratinocytes and the angiogenesis impairment of HUVECs induced by high d-glucose concentration in the culture medium. These results contribute to better understanding possible targets for the therapeutic use of NGF in skin repair.

Abstract
The effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and natural latex protein (F1, Hevea brasiliensis) were evaluated on crush-type injuries (15kg) to the sciatic nerve in the expressions of nerve growth factor (NGF) and vascular endothelium growth factor (VEGF) and ultrastructural morphology to associate with previous morphometric data using the same protocol of injury and treatment. Thirty-six male rats were allocated into six experimental groups (n = 6): 1-Control; 2-Exposed nerve; 3-Injured nerve; 4-LLLT (15J/cm2, 780nm, 30mW, Continuous Wave) treated injured nerve; 5-F1 (0,1mg) treated injured nerve; and 6-LLLT&F1 treated injured nerve. Four or eight weeks after, sciatic nerve samples were processed for analysis. NGF expression were higher (p<0.05) four weeks after in all injured groups in comparison to Control (Med:0.8; Q1:0; Q3:55.5%area). Among them, the Injured (Med:70.7; Q1:64.4; Q3:77.5%area) showed the highest expression, and F1 (Med:17.3; Q1:14.1; Q3:21.7%area) had the lowest. At week 8, NGF expressions decreased in the injured groups. VEGF was expressed in all groups; its higher expression was observed in the injured groups 4 weeks after (Injured. Med:29.5; F1. Med:17.7 and LLLT&F1. Med:19.4%area). At week 8, a general reduction of VEGF expression was noted, remaining higher in F1 (Med:35.1; Q1.30.6; Q3.39.6%area) and LLLT&F1 (Med:18.5; Q1:16; Q3:25%area). Ultrastructural morphology revealed improvements in the treated groups; 4 weeks after, the F1 group presented greater quantity and diameter of the nerve fibers uniformly distributed. Eight weeks after, the F1 and LLLT&F1 showed similar characteristics to the non-injured groups. In summary, these results and our previous studies indicated that F1 and LLLT may favorably influence the healing of nerve crush injury. Four weeks after nerve injury F1 group showed the best results suggesting recovery acceleration; at 8th week F1 and LLLT&F1 groups presented better features and higher vascularization that could be associated with VEGF maintenance.
