Abstract
Intramuscular fat (IMF) refers to the lipid stored in skeletal muscle tissue. The number and size of intramuscular adipocytes are the primary factors that regulate IMF content. Intramuscular adipocytes can be derived from either in situ or ectopic migration. In this study, it was discovered that the regulation of IMF levels is achieved through the chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (CCL5)/chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 (CCR5) pathway by modulating adipocyte migration. In coculture experiments, C2C12 myotubes were more effective in promoting the migration of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes than C2C12 myoblasts, along with increasing CCL5. Correspondingly, overexpressing the CCR5, one of the receptors of CCL5, in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes facilitated their migration. Conversely, the application of the CCL5/CCR5 inhibitor, MARAVIROC (MVC), reduced this migration. In vivo, transplanted experiments of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT) from transgenic mice expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) provided evidence that injecting recombinant CCL5 (rCCL5) into skeletal muscle promotes the migration of subcutaneous adipocytes to the skeletal muscle. The level of CCL5 in skeletal muscle increased with obesity. Blocking the CCL5/CCR5 axis by MVC inhibited IMF deposition, whereas elevated skeletal muscle CCL5 promoted IMF deposition in obese mice. These results establish a link between the IMF and the CCL5/CCR5 pathway, which could have a potential application for modulating IMF through adipocyte migration.NEW & NOTEWORTHY C2C12 myotubes attract 3T3-L1 preadipocyte migration regulated by the chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (CCL5)/ chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 (CCR5) axis. High levels of skeletal muscle-specific CCL5 promote the migration of subcutaneous adipocytes to skeletal muscle and induce the intramuscular fat (IMF) content.

Abstract
With limited treatment options, cachexia remains a major challenge for patients with cancer. Characterizing the interplay between tumor cells and the immune microenvironment may help identify potential therapeutic targets for cancer cachexia. Herein, we investigate the critical role of macrophages in potentiating pancreatic cancer induced muscle wasting via promoting TWEAK (TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis) secretion from the tumor. Specifically, depletion of macrophages reverses muscle degradation induced by tumor cells. Macrophages induce non-autonomous secretion of TWEAK through CCL5/TRAF6/NF-κB pathway. TWEAK promotes muscle atrophy by activating MuRF1 initiated muscle remodeling. Notably, tumor cells recruit and reprogram macrophages via the CCL2/CCR2 axis and disrupting the interplay between macrophages and tumor cells attenuates muscle wasting. Collectively, this study identifies a feedforward loop between pancreatic cancer cells and macrophages, underlying the non-autonomous activation of TWEAK secretion from tumor cells thereby providing promising therapeutic targets for pancreatic cancer cachexia.

Abstract
T cell infiltration into white adipose tissue (WAT) drives obesity-induced adipose inflammation, but the mechanisms of obesity-induced T cell infiltration into WAT remain unclear. Our single-cell RNA sequencing reveals a significant impact of adipose stem cells (ASCs) on T cells. Transplanting ASCs from obese mice into WAT enhances T cell accumulation. C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) is upregulated in ASCs as early as 4 weeks of high-fat diet feeding, coinciding with the onset of T cell infiltration into WAT during obesity. ASCs and bone marrow transplantation experiments demonstrate that CCL5 from ASCs plays a crucial role in T cell accumulation during obesity. The production of CCL5 in ASCs is induced by tumor necrosis factor alpha via the nuclear factor κB pathway. Overall, our findings underscore the pivotal role of ASCs in regulating T cell accumulation in WAT during the early phases of obesity, emphasizing their importance in modulating adaptive immunity in obesity-induced adipose inflammation.

Abstract
The crosstalk between reactive astrocytes and infiltrated immune cells plays a critical role in maintaining blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity. However, how astrocytes interact with immune cells and the effect of their interaction on BBB integrity after hemorrhagic stroke are still unclear. By performing RNA sequencing in astrocytes that were activated by interleukin-1α (IL-1α), tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), and complement component 1q (C1q) treatment, we found CCL5 was among the top upregulated genes. Immunostaining and western blot results demonstrated that CCL5 was increased in mice brain after hemorrhagic stroke. Flow cytometry showed that knockout of astrocytic CCL5 reduced the infiltration of CD8+ but not CD4+ T and myeloid cells into the brain (p < 0.05). In addition, knockout CCL5 in astrocytes increased tight junction-related proteins ZO-1 and Occludin expression; reduced Evans blue leakage, perforin and granzyme B expression; improved neurobehavioral outcomes in hemorrhagic stroke mice (p < 0.05), while transplantation of CD8+ T cells reversed these protective effects. Moreover, co-culture of CD8+ T cells with bEnd.3 cells induced the apoptosis of bEnd.3 cells, which was rescued by inhibiting perforin. In conclusion, our study suggests that CCL5 mediated crosstalk between astrocytes and CD8+ T cells represents an important therapeutic target for protecting BBB in stroke.

Abstract
F-box only protein 38 (FBXO38) is a member of the F-box family that mediates the ubiquitination and proteasome degradation of programmed death 1 (PD-1), and thus has important effects on T cell-related immunity. While its powerful role in adaptive immunity has attracted much attention, its regulatory roles in innate immune pathways remain unknown. The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway is an important innate immune pathway that regulates type I interferons. STING protein is the core component of this pathway. In this study, we identified that FBXO38 deficiency enhanced tumor proliferation and reduced tumor CD8+ T cells infiltration. Loss of FBXO38 resulted in reduced STING protein levels in vitro and in vivo, further leading to preventing cGAS-STING pathway activation, and decreased downstream product IFNA1 and CCL5. The mechanism of reduced STING protein was associated with lysosome-mediated degradation rather than proteasomal function. Our results demonstrate a critical role for FBXO38 in the cGAS-STING pathway.

Abstract
Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibition has been shown multiple beneficial effects against brain injuries of Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, the underlying mechanism of its neuroprotective effects after ICH has not been explained fully. Ferroptosis, a new form of iron-dependent programmed cell death, has been shown to be implicated in the secondary injuries after ICH. In this study, We examined whether sEH inhibition can alleviate brain injuries of ICH through inhibiting ferroptosis. Expression of several markers for ferroptosis was observed in the peri-hematomal brain tissues in mice after ICH. lip-1, a ferroptosis inhibitor, alleviated iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation and the secondary damages post-ICH in mice model. Intraperitoneal injection of 1-Trifluoromethoxyphenyl-3- (1-propionylpiperidin-4-yl)urea (TPPU), a highly selective sEH inhibitor, could inhibit ferroptosis and alleviate brain damages in ICH mice. Furthermore, RNA-sequencing was applied to explore the potential regulatory mechanism underlying the effects of TPPU in ferroptosis after ICH. C-C chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) may be the key factor by which TPPU regulated ferroptosis after ICH since CCL5 antagonist could mimic the effects of TPPU and CCL5 reversed the inhibitive effect of TPPU on ferroptosis and the neuroprotective effects of TPPU on secondary damage after ICH. Taken together, these data indicate that ferroptosis is a key pathological feature of ICH and Soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor can exert neuroprotective effect by preventing ferroptosis after ICH.

Abstract
Acute spinal cord injury (SCI) always results in sustainable recruitment of inflammatory cells driven by sequentially generated chemokines, thereby eliciting excessive neuroinflammation. However, the underlying mechanism of temporally produced chemokines remains elusive. Reactive astrocytes are known to be the main sources of chemokines at the lesion site, which can be immediately activated by thrombin following SCI. In the present study, SCI was shown to induce a sequential production of chemokines CCL2 and CCL5 from astrocytes, which were associated with a persistent infiltration of macrophages/microglia. The rapidly induced CCL2 and later induced CCL5 from astrocytes were regulated by thrombin at the damaged tissues. Investigation of the regulatory mechanism revealed that thrombin facilitated astrocytic CCL2 production through activation of ERK/JNK/NFκB pathway, whereas promoted CCL5 production through PLCβ3/NFκB and ERK/JNK/NFκB signal pathway. Inhibition of thrombin activity significantly decreased production of astrocytic CCL2 and CCL5, and reduced the accumulation of macrophages/microglia at the lesion site. Accordingly, the locomotor function of rats was remarkably improved. The present study has provided a new regulatory mechanism on thrombin-mediated sequential production of astrocytic chemokines, which might be beneficial for clinical therapy of CNS neuroinflammation.

Abstract
CC and CXC chemokines are distinct chemokine subfamilies. CC chemokines usually do not bind CXC-chemokine receptors and vice versa. CCR5 and CXCR4 receptors are activated by CCL5 and CXCL12 chemokines, respectively, and are also used as HIV-1 coreceptors. CCL5 contains one conserved binding site for a sulfated tyrosine residue, whereas CXCL12 is unique in having two additional sites for sulfated/nonsulfated tyrosine residues. In this study, N-terminal (Nt) CXCR4 peptides were found to bind CCL5 with somewhat higher affinities in comparison to those of short Nt-CCR5(8-20) peptides with the same number of sulfated tyrosine residues. Similarly, a long Nt-CCR5(1-27)(s Y3,s Y10,s Y14) peptide cross reacts with CXCL12 and with lower KD in comparison to its binding to CCL5. Intermolecular nuclear overhauser effect (NOE) measurements were used to decipher the mechanism of the chemokine/Nt-receptor peptide binding. The Nt-CXCR4 peptides interact with the conserved CCL5 tyrosine sulfate-binding site by an allovalency mechanism like that observed for CCL5 binding of Nt-CCR5 peptides. Nt-CCR5 peptides bind CXCL12 in multiple modes analogous to their binding to HIV-1 gp120 and interact with all three tyrosine/sulfated tyrosine-binding pockets of CXCL12. We suggest that the chemokine-receptors Nt-segments bind promiscuously to cognate and non-cognate chemokines and in a mechanism that is dependent on the number of binding pockets for tyrosine residues found on the chemokine. In conclusion, common features shared among the chemokine-receptors' Nt-segments such as multiple tyrosine residues that are potentially sulfated, and a large number of negatively charged residues are the reason of the cross binding observed in this study.

Abstract
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common pathological subtype of lung cancer and has a poor prognosis. Immune Checkpoint Blockage (ICB) have been shown to improve the survival of LUAD in the last decade. CD8 + T cell infiltration is significantly related to LUAD prognosis and plays a critical role in ICB response efficiency. Chemokines expressed and secreted by tumor and microenvironment cells regulate the recruitment of CD8 + T cells. A cytoplasm-dominant circRNA, termed circMAPK1, was found to be down-regulated in LUAD and dramatically suppressed the growth of LUAD upon circMAPK1 overexpression in immunocompetent mice. Meanwhile, it was found that circMAPK1 significantly promoted the CD8 + T cell intratumoral infiltration in vitro and in vivo. CircMAPK1 was identified as binding IGF2BP1 in the cytoplasm and inducing IGF2BP1 to occupy the 3'UTR of CCL5 mRNA, resulting in retained stability of CCL5 mRNA. In general, circMAPK1 is a microenvironment-associated circRNA that recruits CD8 + T cells in LUAD. CircMAPK1 is an effective microenvironment regulator and a potential nucleic acid drug that can be combined with ICB to improve immunotherapy response efficiency.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal and aggressive gynecological cancer with a high recurrence rate and is often diagnosed late. In ovarian cancer, multiple metabolic enzymes of lipid metabolism are abnormally expressed, resulting in metabolism disorder. As a characteristic pathway in polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) metabolism, arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism is disturbed in ovarian cancer. Therefore, we established a 10-gene signature model to evaluate the prognostic risk of PUFA-related genes. This 10-gene signature has strong robustness and can play a stable predictive role in datasets of various platforms (TCGA, ICGC, and GSE17260). The high association between the risk subgroups and clinical characteristics indicated a good performance of the model. Our data further indicated that the high expression of LTA4H was positively correlated with poor prognosis in ovarian cancer. Deficiency of LTA4H enhanced sensitivity to Cisplatin and modified the characteristics of immune cell infiltration in ovarian cancer. Additionally, our results indicate that CCL5 was involved in the aberrant metabolism of the AA/LTA4H axis, which contributes to the reduction of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells and immune escape in ovarian cancer. These findings provide new insights into the prognosis and potential target of LTA4H/CCL5 in treating ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Background The morbidity and mortality of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are still high, causing a heavy medical burden. CCL5, as a chemokine, can be involved in altering the composition of the tumor microenvironment (TME) as well as the immunosuppressive degree, and has become a very promising target for the treatment of TNBC. Dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) in tumor tissues is closely related to tumor progression, and its utilization can be used to achieve therapeutic purposes. Engineered exosomes can avoid the shortcomings of miRNAs and also enhance their targeting and anti-tumor effects through engineering. Therefore, we aimed to create a cRGD-modified exosome for targeted delivery of miR-588 and to investigate its effect in remodeling immunosuppressive TME by anchoring CCL5 in TNBC. Methods In this study, we loaded miR-588 into exosomes using electroporation and modified it with cRGD using post insertion to obtain cRGD-Exos/miR-588. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking assay technique (NTA), Western Blots, qPCR, and flow cytometry were applied for its characterization. CCK-8, qPCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), in vivo fluorescence imaging system, immunohistochemistry and H&E staining were used to explore the efficacy as well as the mechanism at the cellular level as well as in subcutaneous graft-tumor nude mouse model. Results The cRGD-Exos/miR-588 was successfully constructed and had strong TNBC tumor targeting in vitro and in vivo. Meanwhile, it has significant efficacy on TME components affected by CCL5 and the degree of immunosuppression, which can effectively control TNBC with good safety. Conclusion In this experiment, cRGD-Exos/miR-588 was prepared to remodel immunosuppressive TME by anchoring CCL5, which is affected by the vicious cycle of immune escape. Overall, cRGD-Exos/miR-588 explored the feasibility of targeting TME for the TNBC treatment, and provided a competitive delivery system for the engineered exosomes to deliver miRNAs for antitumor therapy drug.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The variability in responses to neoadjuvant treatment with anti-HER2 antibodies prompts to personalized clinical management and the development of innovative treatment strategies. Tumor-infiltrating Natural Killer (TI-NK) cells can predict the efficacy of HER2-targeted antibodies independently from clinicopathological factors in primary HER2-positive breast cancer patients. Understanding the mechanism/s underlying this association would contribute to optimizing patient stratification and provide the rationale for combinatorial approaches with immunotherapy. METHODS We sought to uncover processes enriched in NK cell-infiltrated tumors as compared to NK cell-desert tumors by microarray analysis. Findings were validated in clinical trial-derived transcriptomic data. In vitro and in vivo preclinical models were used for mechanistic studies. Findings were analysed in clinical samples (tumor and serum) from breast cancer patients. RESULTS NK cell-infiltrated tumors were enriched in CCL5/IFNG-CXCL9/10 transcripts. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, IFNG levels underlie the association between TI-NK cells and pathological complete response to neoadjuvant treatment with trastuzumab. Mechanistically, the production of IFN-ɣ by CD16+ NK cells triggered the secretion of CXCL9/10 from cancer cells. This effect was associated to tumor growth control and the conversion of CD16 into CD16-CD103+ NK cells in humanized in vivo models. In human breast tumors, the CD16 and CD103 markers identified lineage-related NK cell subpopulations capable of producing CCL5 and IFN-ɣ, which correlated with tissue-resident CD8+ T cells. Finally, an early increase in serum CCL5/CXCL9 levels identified patients with NK cell-rich tumors showing good responses to anti-HER2 antibody-based neoadjuvant treatment. CONCLUSIONS This study identifies specialized NK cell subsets as the source of IFN-ɣ influencing the clinical efficacy of anti-HER2 antibodies. It also reveals the potential of serum CCL5/CXCL9 as biomarkers for identifying patients with NK cell-rich tumors and favorable responses to anti-HER2 antibody-based neoadjuvant treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to analyze whether the expression of inflammatory and antiviral genes in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-infected infants' peripheral blood is associated with bronchiolitis progression. METHODS We conducted a prospective study on 117 infants between 2015 and 2023. The expression levels of nine genes were quantified by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Infants were classified according to their clinical evolution during hospital admission: (i) non-progression (n = 74), when the RSV bronchiolitis severity remained stable or improved; (ii) unfavorable progression (n = 43), when the RSV bronchiolitis severity increased. The association analysis was performed by logistic regression, adjusted by age, gender, prematurity, and RSV bronchiolitis severity in the emergency room. RESULTS Infants were 57.3% male, and the median age of the study population was 61 days. Thirty-five infants (30.7%) were admitted to the intensive care unit after hospital admission. Univariate logistic models showed that tumor necrosis factor (TNFα) and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand (CCL5) gene expression at baseline were inversely associated with unfavorable progression, which was confirmed by multivariate analyses: TNFα (adjusted odds ratio = 0.8 [95% confidence interval = 0.64-0.99], P-value = 0.038) and CCL5 (adjusted odds ratio = 0.76 [95% confidence interval = 0.62-0.93], P-value = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS An inadequate immune response to RSV, characterized by reduced gene expression levels of CCL5 and TNFα in peripheral blood, was associated with an unfavorable progression of RSV bronchiolitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant tumor of bone tissue, which has an insidious onset and is difficult to detect early, and few early diagnostic markers with high specificity and sensitivity. Therefore, this study aims to identify potential biomarkers that can help diagnose OS in its early stages and improve the prognosis of patients. METHODS The data sets of GSE12789, GSE28424, GSE33382 and GSE36001 were combined and normalized to identify Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs). The data were analyzed by Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) and Disease Ontology (DO). The hub gene was selected based on the common DEG that was obtained by applying two regression methods: the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) and Support vVector Machine (SVM). Then the diagnostic value of the hub gene was evaluated in the GSE42572 data set. Finally, the correlation between immunocyte infiltration and key genes was analyzed by CIBERSORT. RESULTS The regression analysis results of LASSO and SVM are the following three DEGs: FK501 binding protein 51 (FKBP5), C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5), complement component 1 Q subcomponent B chain (C1QB). We evaluated the diagnostic performance of three biomarkers (FKBP5, CCL5 and C1QB) for osteosarcoma using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. In the training group, the area under the curve (AUC) of FKBP5, CCL5 and C1QB was 0.907, 0.874 and 0.676, respectively. In the validation group, the AUC of FKBP5, CCL5 and C1QB was 0.618, 0.932 and 0.895, respectively. It is noteworthy that these genes were more expressed in tumor tissues than in normal tissues by various immune cell types, such as plasma cells, CD8+ T cells, T regulatory cells (Tregs), activated NK cells, activated dendritic cells and activated mast cells. These immune cell types are also associated with the expression levels of the three diagnostic genes that we identified. CONCLUSION We found that CCL5 can be considered an early diagnostic gene of osteosarcoma, and CCL5 interacts with immune cells to influence tumor occurrence and development. These findings have important implications for the early detection of osteosarcoma and the identification of novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Intramuscular fat (IMF), also known as ectopic fat deposits in skeletal muscle. Researches of IMF mainly focus on increasing the number and size of intramuscular adipocytes in situ. However, recent studies have shown that chemokines secreted by skeletal muscle recruit adipocytes to increase intramuscular fat content. Chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5), a member of chemokine family, is involved in the regulation of cell migration, inflammatory responses, and energy metabolism. In this study, we determined Vitamin K3 (VK3) enhanced Ccl5 transcription and expression, thus resulting in increased preadipocyte migration. VK3-injected vastus lateralis (VL) was observed an increased CCL5 concentration and IMF deposition, whereas blockade of the CCL5/CCR5 axis decreased IMF deposition.VK3 treatment also increased the body weight and VL ratio in mice. In summary, VK3, which targets CCL5, is expected to be a novel pharmacological regulator for promoting IMF content.

Abstract
The chemokine CCL5 plays a potential role in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Previous studies have shown that CCL5 directly acts on tumor cells to change tumor metastatic rates. In addition, CCL5 recruits immune cells and immunosuppressive cells into the tumor microenvironment (TME) and reshapes the TME to adapt to tumor growth or increase antitumor immune efficacy, depending on the type of secretory cells releasing CCL5, the cellular function of CCL5 recruitment, and the underlying mechanisms. However, at present, research on the role played by CCL5 in the occurrence and development of CRC is still limited, and whether CCL5 promotes the occurrence and development of CRC and its role remain controversial. This paper discusses the cells recruited by CCL5 in patients with CRC and the specific mechanism of this recruitment, as well as recent clinical studies of CCL5 in patients with CRC.Key MessagesCCL5 plays dual roles in colorectal cancer progression.CCL5 remodels the tumor microenvironment to adapt to colorectal cancer tumor growth by recruiting immunosuppressive cells or by direct action.CCL5 inhibits colorectal cancer tumor growth by recruiting immune cells or by direct action.

Abstract
Background and Aims Overexpression of IGF2BP3 is associated with the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its role in regulating tumor immune microenvironment (TME) is not well characterized. Here, we investigated the effects of IGF2BP3 on macrophages and CD8+ T cells within the TME of HCC. Methods The relationship between IGF2BP3 and immune cell infiltration was analyzed using online bioinformatics tools. Knockout of IGF2BP3 in mouse hepatoma cell line Hepa1-6 was established using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. In vitro cell coculture and subcutaneously implanted hepatoma mice model were used to explore the effects of IGF2BP3 on immune cells. Expression of CCL5 or transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) was detected with quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The binding of IGF2BP3 and its target RNA was verified by trimolecular fluorescence complementation system and RNA immunoprecipitation followed by quantitative or semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results IGF2BP3 expression was elevated in HCC and was positively correlated with macrophage infiltration. Patients with higher IGF2BP3 expression and lower macrophage infiltration had a better survival rate. We found that IGF2BP3 could bind to the mRNA of CCL5 or TGF-β1, increasing their expression, and inducing macrophage infiltration and M2 polarization while inhibiting the activation of CD8+ T cells. Furthermore, inhibition of IGF2BP3 combined with anti-CD47 antibody treatment significantly suppressed the growth of hepatoma in Hepa1-6 xenograft tumor mice. Conclusions IGF2BP3 promoted the infiltration and M2-polarization of macrophages and suppressed CD8+ T activation by enhancing CCL5 and TGF-β1 expression, which facilitated the progression of Hepa1-6 xenograft tumor.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that Protocadherins (PCDHs) enhance tumor proliferation, invasion, and metastasis; yet their role in pancreatic cancer (PC) progression and the tumor immune microenvironment remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the role of PCDH1 in different cancer types, with a particular focus on its impact on immune suppression in PC. Utilizing data from TCGA, GTEx, and Gent2 databases, we assessed the expression of PCDH1 across various cancer types. The prognostic value of PCDH1 was demonstrated through Cox regression, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and ROC curve, while its relationship with gene mutations, tumor mutational burden (TMB), immune cell infiltration, and other clinical factors was investigated using Spearman correlation. Furthermore, the effect of PCDH1 on PC malignancy was experimentally validated by a series of in vitro and in vivo assays. Our results show a significant upregulation of PCDH1 in various tumor types, which is associated with poor prognosis, suggesting its potential application as an independent prognostic biomarker. Notably, in PC, PCDH1 exhibited significant associations with gene mutations, TMB, and immune cell infiltration. Clinical validations revealed a correlation between high PCDH1 expression and poor prognosis, coupled with a low level of CD8+ T cell infiltration. Furthermore, both in vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed the role of PCDH1 in promoting PC cell proliferation and migration while inhibiting CD8+ T cell recruitment through its modulation of CCL5-CCR5 axis. In conclusion, PCDH1 regulates the proliferation and migration of PC cells as well as CD8+ T cell infiltration in PC. PCDH1 may serve as a prognostic biomarker in multiple tumor types.

Abstract
Significant relationships with endometrial cancer were demonstrated, both for CCL2, CCL5, and CXCL8 chemokines and for the chemokine receptor CXCR2. The reported case-control study of genetic associations was designed to establish the role of selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the CCL2, CCL5, CXCL8, and CXCR2 genes in the onset and progression of endometrial cancer. This study was conducted on 282 women, including 132 (46.8%) patients with endometrial cancer and 150 (53.2%) non-cancerous controls. The genotypes for CCL2 rs4586, CCL5 rs2107538 and rs2280789, CXCL8 rs2227532 and -738 T>A, and CXCR2 rs1126580 were determined, using PCR-RFLP assays. The AA homozygotes in CCL5 rs2107538 were associated with more than a quadruple risk of endometrial cancer (p ≤ 0.050). The GA heterozygotes in the CXCR2 SNP were associated with approximately threefold higher cancer risk (p ≤ 0.001). That association also remained significant after certain adjustments, carried out for age, diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, or endometrial thickness above 5 mm (p ≤ 0.050). The A-A haplotypes for the CCL5 polymorphisms and T-A-A haplotypes for the CCL2 and CCL5 SNPs were associated with about a twofold risk of endometrial cancer (p ≤ 0.050). In conclusion, CCL2 rs4586, CCL5 rs2107538 and rs2280789, and CXCR2 rs1126580 demonstrated significant associations with an increased risk of endometrial cancer.

Abstract
The imbalance that occurs in bone remodeling induced by irradiation (IR) is the disruption of the balance between bone formation and bone resorption. In this study, primary osteocytes (OCYs) of femoral and tibial origin were cultured and irradiated. It was observed that irradiated OCY showed extensive DNA damage, which led to the initiation of a typical phenotype of cellular senescence, including the secretion of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), especially the C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5). In order to explore the regulation of osteoclastogenic potential by IR-induced senescent OCYs exocytosis factor CCL5, the conditioned medium (CM) of OCYs was co-cultured with RAW264.7 precursor cells. It was observed that in the irradiated OCY co-cultured group, the migration potential increased compared with the vehicle culture group, accompanied by an enhancement of typical mature OCs; the expression of the specific function of enzyme tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) increased; and the bone-destructive function was enhanced. However, a neutralizing antibody to CCL5 could reverse the extra-activation of osteoclastogenesis. Accordingly, the overexpression of p-STAT3 in irradiated OCY was accompanied by CCL5. It was concluded that CCL5 is a potential key molecule and the interventions targeting CCL5 could be a potential strategy for inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and restoring bone remodeling.

Abstract
Background Parkinson's disease (PD), which is associated to autoimmune disorders, is characterized by the pathological deposition of alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) and loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons. Th17 cells are thought to be responsible for the direct loss of DA neurons. C-C chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) specifically induces Th17 cell infiltration into the SN. However, the specific effect of CCL5 on Th17 cells in PD and the relationship between CCL5 and lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) expression in Th17 cells are unknown. Methods We evaluated the effects of CCL5 on LFA-1 expression in Th17 cells in mice treated with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and examined Th17 cell differentiation upon CCL5 stimulation in vitro. Furthermore, we assessed the effects of CCL5 on tyrosine kinase zeta-chain-associated protein kinase 70 (ZAP70) and lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (LCK) activity in CCL5-stimulated Th17 cells in vivo and in vitro. Results CCL5 increased the proportion of peripheral Th17 cells in MPTP-treated mice, LFA-1 expression on Th17 cells, and Th17 cell levels in the SN of MPTP-treated mice. CCL5 promoted Th17 cell differentiation and LFA-1 expression in naive T cells in vitro. Moreover, CCL5 increased Th17 cell differentiation and LFA-1 expression by stimulating LCK and ZAP70 activation in naive CD4+ T cells. Inhibiting LCK and ZAP70 activation reduced the proportion of peripheral Th17 cells and LFA-1 surface expression in MPTP-treated mice, and Th17 cell levels in the SN also significantly decreased. Conclusion CCL5, which increased Th17 cell differentiation and LFA-1 protein expression by activating LCK and ZAP70, could increase the Th17 cell number in the SN, induce DA neuron death and aggravate PD.

Abstract
Cryptococcus species are ingenious human pathogens that are widespread globally. They continue to cause over 200,000 deaths per year. Presently due to the rise in resistance and therapy failure, it is necessary to shift the focus to an alternate therapeutic strategy against this pathogen. One promising approach is to emphasize the host defense system in order to develop more precise and customized treatment strategies. In this regard, research has revealed that interferon-γ-inducible CXCL10 chemokine, amongst other chemokines spanning both CXC and CC categories, has a direct killing effect in vitro against Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii, with a significantly greater microbicidal effect against the former. Moreover, when CXCL10 is used in combination with CCL5, there is a significant reduction in the survival of C. gattii at normal-serum level concentration, indicating a previously unreported synergistic effect of these two chemokines. Confocal and STED microscopic studies have demonstrated that CXCL10 has both cell wall/membrane and intracellular targets against this fungus. These findings present new possibilities for developing chemokine-derived small molecule antifungals and may represent a step forward in creating precision medicine tailored to each patient.

Abstract
The morbidity and mortality associated with Alzheimer disease (AD), one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, are increasing each year. Although both amyloid β and tau proteins are known to be involved in AD pathology, their detailed functions in the pathogenesis of the disease are not fully understood. There is increasing evidence that neuroinflammation contributes to the development and progression of AD, with astrocytes, microglia, and the cytokines and chemokines they secrete acting coordinately in these processes. Signaling involving chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (CCL5) and its main receptor C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) plays an important role in normal physiologic processes as well as pathologic conditions such as neurodegeneration. In recent years, many studies have shown that the CCL5/CCR5 axis plays a major effect in the pathogenesis of AD, but there are also a few studies that contradict this. In short, the role of CCL5/CCR5 axis in the pathogenesis of AD is still intricate. This review summarizes the structure, distribution, physiologic functions of the CCL5/CCR5 axis, and the progress in understanding its involvement in the pathogenesis of AD.

Abstract
Although most pathways in the mature central nervous system cannot regenerate when injured, research beginning in the late 20th century has led to discoveries that may help reverse this situation. Here, we highlight research in recent years from our laboratory identifying oncomodulin (Ocm), stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1, and chemokine CCL5 as growth factors expressed by cells of the innate immune system that promote axon regeneration in the injured optic nerve and elsewhere in the central and peripheral nervous systems. We also review the role of ArmC10, a newly discovered Ocm receptor, in mediating many of these effects, and the synergy between inflammation-derived growth factors and complementary strategies to promote regeneration, including deleting genes encoding cell-intrinsic suppressors of axon growth, manipulating transcription factors that suppress or promote the expression of growth-related genes, and manipulating cell-extrinsic suppressors of axon growth. In some cases, combinatorial strategies have led to unprecedented levels of nerve regeneration. The identification of some similar mechanisms in human neurons offers hope that key discoveries made in animal models may eventually lead to treatments to improve outcomes after neurological damage in patients.

Abstract
Genetic polymorphisms in genes that encode natural ligands of CCR5 (the main human HIV coreceptor), such as CCL5/RANTES, can alter the levels of secretion of these peptides. This article sought to review the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CCL5/RANTES and HIV-1 disease susceptibility. A meta-analysis was conducted through 17 articles found from January 1999 to December 2022 in the PUBMED, Science Direct, Medline, and SciELO databases. A total of three SNPs were identified and investigated under their dominant genotypic model and through a fixed-effects model. In terms of the SNP rs2107538 (G > A), in Africa and Asia, it has a protective role (OR = 0.56; 95% CI = 0.41-0.76; p = 0.0002, and OR = 0.88; 95% CI = 0.76-1.02; p = 0.08, respectively). In terms of the SNP rs2280788 (C > G), in Europe and America, it shows a higher risk role (OR = 1.92; 95% CI = 1.06-3.47; p = 0.03, and OR = 0.94; 95% CI = 0.94-1.11; p = 0.04, respectively), but in the population of Asia, with its mutant allele, it has a protective role (OR = 0.76; 95% CI = 0.63-0.93; p = 0.007). In terms of the SNP rs2280789 (T > C), no significant associations were found. Both SNPs rs2107538 and rs2280788 have a positive transcriptional effect on the RANTES/CCL5 gene, while SNP rs2280789 causes a decrease in gene expression levels. This study suggests that there is an association between the increased expression of CCL5/RANTES and a lower risk of AIDS. Therefore, further studies are needed to arrive at a definitive conclusion, and these results may help establish scientific bases for effective HIV/AIDS control strategies.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation influences cellular recognition and regulates protein interactions, but how glycosylation functions alongside other common posttranslational modifications (PTMs), like tyrosine sulfation (sTyr), is unclear. We produced a library of 53 chemoenzymatically synthesized glycosulfopeptides representing N-terminal domains of human and murine P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1), varying in sTyr and O-glycosylation (structure and site). Using these, we identified key roles of PSGL-1 O-glycosylation and sTyr in controlling interactions with specific chemokines. Results demonstrate that sTyr positively affects CCL19 and CCL21 binding to PSGL-1 N terminus, whereas O-glycan branching and sialylation reduced binding. For murine PSGL-1, interference between PTMs is greater, attributed to proximity between the two PTMs. Using fluorescence polarization, we found sTyr is a positive determinant for some chemokines. We showed that synthetic sulfopeptides are potent in decreasing chemotaxis of human dendritic cells toward CCL19 and CCL21. Our results provide new research avenues into the interplay of PTMs regulating leukocyte/chemokine interactions.

Abstract
Neuropathic pain is a chronic condition that significantly reduces the quality of life of many patients as a result of ineffective pain relief therapy. For that reason, looking for new analgesics remains an important issue. Mirogabalin is a new gabapentinoid that is a specific ligand for the α2σ-1 and α2σ-2 subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels. In the present study, we compared the analgesic effect of pregabalin and mirogabalin in a neuropathic pain chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve in a mouse model. The main purpose of our study was to determine the effectiveness of mirogabalin administered both once and repeatedly and to explain how the drug influences highly activated cells at the spinal cord level in neuropathy. We also sought to understand whether mirogabalin modulates the selected intracellular pathways (p38MAPK, ERK, JNK) and chemokines (CCL2, CCL5) important for nociceptive transmission, which is crucial information from a clinical perspective. First, our study provides evidence that a single mirogabalin administration diminishes tactile hypersensitivity more effectively than pregabalin. Second, research shows that several indirect mechanisms may be responsible for the beneficial analgesic effect of mirogabalin. This study reports that repeated intraperitoneally (i.p.) mirogabalin administration strongly prevents spinal microglia/macrophage activation evoked by nerve injury, slightly suppresses astroglia and neutrophil infiltration, and reduces the p38MAPK levels associated with neuropathic pain, as measured on Day 7. Moreover, mirogabalin strongly diminished the levels of the pronociceptive chemokines CCL2 and CCL5. Our results indicate that mirogabalin may represent a new strategy for the effective pharmacotherapy of neuropathic pain.

Abstract
In neurodegenerative diseases, microglia switch to an activated state, which results in excessive secretion of pro-inflammatory factors. Our work aims to investigate how this paracrine signaling affects neuronal function. Here, we show that activated microglia mediate non-cell-autonomous inhibition of neuronal autophagy, a degradative pathway critical for the removal of toxic, aggregate-prone proteins accumulating in neurodegenerative diseases. We found that the microglial-derived CCL-3/-4/-5 bind and activate neuronal CCR5, which in turn promotes mTORC1 activation and disrupts autophagy and aggregate-prone protein clearance. CCR5 and its cognate chemokines are upregulated in the brains of pre-manifesting mouse models for Huntington's disease (HD) and tauopathy, suggesting a pathological role of this microglia-neuronal axis in the early phases of these diseases. CCR5 upregulation is self-sustaining, as CCL5-CCR5 autophagy inhibition impairs CCR5 degradation itself. Finally, pharmacological or genetic inhibition of CCR5 rescues mTORC1 hyperactivation and autophagy dysfunction, which ameliorates HD and tau pathologies in mouse models.

Abstract
Ovarian serous carcinoma (OC) is a common cause of mortality among gynecological malignancies. Although tumor‑infiltrating CD8 T cells are associated with a favorable prognosis of OC, the underlying mechanisms are not clearly understood. The present study identified the key genes and potential molecular mechanisms associated with CD8 T‑cell infiltration in OC. The score of CD8 T cells in The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset (376 samples from patients with OC) was estimated using the quanTIseq and MCP‑counter algorithms. Thereafter, a protein‑protein interaction network of differentially expressed genes was constructed and the hub genes were identified using cytoHubba in Cytoscape. The results revealed that signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) was strongly correlated with CD8 T‑cell infiltration in OC. Furthermore, the prognostic value of STAT4 in OC was verified by Kaplan‑Meier curve, and univariate and multivariate analyses. The biological functions of STAT4 were determined by Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses, which revealed that STAT4 is closely related to cytokines in OC. Moreover, Spearman correlation analysis suggested that STAT4 was most positively correlated with CC chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5). CCL5 was revealed to be critical for orchestrating T‑cell infiltration in tumors. Moreover, immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR showed that STAT4, CCL5 and CD8A (a marker for CD8 T cells) were closely related in OC. Moreover, in vitro analysis revealed that STAT4 knockdown led to a decrease in CCL5 expression and CD8 T‑cell migration. Taken together, the present study suggested that STAT4 may regulate CD8 T‑cell infiltration in OC tissues by inducing CCL5 secretion. Furthermore, STAT4 may be considered a promising prognostic biomarker for OC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 1 (T1) inflammation (marked by IFN-γ expression) is now consistently identified in subsets of asthma cohorts, but how it contributes to disease remains unclear. OBJECTIVE We sought to understand the role of CCL5 in asthmatic T1 inflammation and how it interacts with both T1 and type 2 (T2) inflammation. METHODS CCL5, CXCL9, and CXCL10 messenger RNA expression from sputum bulk RNA sequencing, as well as clinical and inflammatory data were obtained from the Severe Asthma Research Program III (SARP III). CCL5 and IFNG expression from bronchoalveolar lavage cell bulk RNA sequencing was obtained from the Immune Mechanisms in Severe Asthma (IMSA) cohort and expression related to previously identified immune cell profiles. The role of CCL5 in tissue-resident memory T-cell (TRM) reactivation was evaluated in a T1high murine severe asthma model. RESULTS Sputum CCL5 expression strongly correlated with T1 chemokines (P < .001 for CXCL9 and CXCL10), consistent with a role in T1 inflammation. CCL5high participants had greater fractional exhaled nitric oxide (P = .009), blood eosinophils (P < .001), and sputum eosinophils (P = .001) in addition to sputum neutrophils (P = .001). Increased CCL5 bronchoalveolar lavage expression was unique to a previously described T1high/T2variable/lymphocytic patient group in the IMSA cohort, with IFNG trending with worsening lung obstruction only in this group (P = .083). In a murine model, high expression of the CCL5 receptor CCR5 was observed in TRMs and was consistent with a T1 signature. A role for CCL5 in TRM activation was supported by the ability of the CCR5 inhibitor maraviroc to blunt reactivation. CONCLUSION CCL5 appears to contribute to TRM-related T1 neutrophilic inflammation in asthma while paradoxically also correlating with T2 inflammation and with sputum eosinophilia.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are a global health issue with an increasing incidence. Although the pathogenesis of IBDs has been investigated intensively, the etiology of IBDs remains enigmatic. Here, we report that interleukin-3 (Il-3)-deficient mice are more susceptible and exhibit increased intestinal inflammation during the early stage of experimental colitis. IL-3 is locally expressed in the colon by cells harboring a mesenchymal stem cell phenotype and protects by promoting the early recruitment of splenic neutrophils with high microbicidal capability into the colon. Mechanistically, IL-3-dependent neutrophil recruitment involves CCL5+ PD-1high LAG-3high T cells, STAT5, and CCL20 and is sustained by extramedullary splenic hematopoiesis. During acute colitis, Il-3-/- show, however, increased resistance to the disease as well as reduced intestinal inflammation. Altogether, this study deepens our understanding of IBD pathogenesis, identifies IL-3 as an orchestrator of intestinal inflammation, and reveals the spleen as an emergency reservoir for neutrophils during colonic inflammation.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype with limited effective therapies because of the absence of definitive targets. Here, we demonstrate that the expression of ZNF451, a poorly characterized vertebrate zinc-finger protein, is upregulated in TNBC and associated with a poor prognosis. Elevated ZNF451 expression facilitates TNBC progression by interacting with and enhancing the activity of the transcriptional activator snail family transcriptional repressor 2 (SLUG). Mechanistically, the ZNF451-SLUG complex preferentially recruits the acetyltransferase p300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF) to the CCL5 promoter, selectively facilitating CCL5 transcription by enhancing the acetylation of SLUG and local chromatin, leading to recruitment and activation of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Disturbing the ZNF451-SLUG interaction using a peptide suppresses TNBC progression by reducing CCL5 expression and counteracting the migration and activation of TAMs. Collectively, our work provides mechanistic insights into the oncogene-like functions of ZNF451 and suggests that ZNF451 is a potential target for development of effective therapies against TNBC.

Abstract
There are a number of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are considered "orphan receptors" because the information on their known ligands is incomplete. Yet, these receptors are important targets to characterize, as the discovery of their ligands may lead to potential new therapies. GPR75 was recently deorphanized because at least two ligands appear to bind to it, the chemokine CCL5 and the eicosanoid 20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid. Recent reports suggest that GPR75 may play a role in regulating insulin secretion and obesity. However, little is known about the function of this receptor in the brain. To study the function of GPR75, we have generated a knockout (KO) mouse model of this receptor and we evaluated the role that this receptor plays in the adult hippocampus by an array of histological, proteomic, and behavioral endpoints. Using RNAscope® technology, we identified GPR75 puncta in several Rbfox3-/NeuN-positive cells in the hippocampus, suggesting that this receptor has a neuronal expression. Proteomic analysis of the hippocampus in 3-month-old GPR75 KO animals revealed that several markers of synapses, including synapsin I and II are downregulated compared with wild type (WT). To examine the functional consequence of this down-regulation, WT and GPR75 KO mice were tested on a hippocampal-dependent behavioral task. Both contextual memory and anxiety-like behaviors were significantly altered in GPR75 KO, suggesting that GPR75 plays a role in hippocampal activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ALKBH5 belongs to the ALKB family consists of a Fe (II) and a-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase. ALKBH5 directly catalyzes the oxidative demethylation of m6A-methylated adenosine. ALKBH5 involves in tumorigenesis and tumor progression, and is often dysregulated in a wide range of cancers, including colorectal cancer. Emerging evidence indicates that the expression of ALKBH5 is associated with the abundance of infiltrating immune cells in the microenvironment. However, how ALKBH5 affects immune cell infiltration in the microenvironment in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been reported. The aim of this study was to identify how the expression of ALKBH5 affects the biological behaviors of CRC cell lines and regulates the effects on infiltrating CD8+ T cells in CRC microenvironment with its specific mechanism. METHODS Firstly, the transcriptional expression profiles of CRC were downloaded from TCGA database and integrated via R software (4.1.2). Between CRC and normal colorectal tissues, ALKBH5 mRNA expressions were compared (Wilcoxon rank-sum). We further identified the expression levels of ALKBH5 in CRC tissues and cell lines through quantitative PCR, western blot, and immunohistochemistry. Then, how ALKBH5 affects the biological behaviors of CRC cells were confirmed by gain- and loss-of-function analysis. Furthermore, the relationship between ALKBH5 level and 22 tumor-infiltrating immune cells was examined through CIBERSORT in R software. Furthermore, we explored the correlation between ALKBH5 expression and tumor-infiltrated CD8+, CD4+ and regulatory T cells by utilizing the TIMER database. Finally, the association between chemokines and CD8+ T cells infiltration in CRC was analyzed using GEPIA online database. qRT-PCR, WB and IHC were used to further determine the effect of ALKBH5 on NF-κB-CCL5 signaling axis and CD8+ T cells infiltration. RESULTS Clinically, ALKBH5 expression was downregulated in CRC and low levels of ALKBH5 expression were correlated with poor overall survival (OS). Functionally, overexpression of ALKBH5 reduced the proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells, and vice versa. Overexpression of ALKBH5 suppresses NF-κB pathway, thus reduces CCL5 expression and promotes CD8+ T cells infiltration in CRC microenvironment. CONCLUSIONS ALKBH5 is poorly expressed in CRC, and overexpression of ALKBH5 attenuates CRC malignant progression by inhibiting CRC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and promoting CD8+ T cells infiltration in the tumor microenvironment through NF-κB-CCL5 axis.

Abstract
This study aims to identify biomarkers of ovarian cancer, specifically those tumors exhibiting homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), to contribute to the optimization of immunotherapy. We screened the differentially expressed genes coding for CXCL10 and CCL5 by analyzing the transcriptome data of patient with different HRD scores in the ovarian cancer cohort of the TCGA database and validated our results using pathological tissue sections. The cellular origin of CXCL10 and CCL5 were identified using the single-cell sequencing data extracted from the GEO database combined with the tumor mutational burden (TMB) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data obtained from the TCGA database. We found that CXCL10 and CCL5 expression levels were correlated with HRD score. Analysis of single-cell sequencing results and tumor mutation data suggested that both CXCL10 and CCL5 present in the tumor microenvironment were primarily derived from immune cells. In addition, we found that samples with high expression of CXCL10 and CCL5 also had higher stromal cell and immune cell scores, indicating low tumor homogeny. Further analysis showed that CXCL10 and CCL5 expression was associated with immune checkpoint-related genes, and the efficacy of using these proteins as biomarkers was significantly higher than that of PD-1 in predicting the effect of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. The expression of CXCL10 and CCL5 had statistically different effects on the survival of patients, based on multivariate Cox regression. In summary, the results demonstrate that in ovarian cancer, the expression of CXCL10 and CCL5 are correlated with HRD. When CXCL10 and CCL5 are secreted by immune cells, immune cell infiltration can be chemotactic and predict the effect of immunotherapy more efficiently than using PD-1 as a biomarker. Therefore, CXCL10 and CCL5 look to be promising novel biomarkers to guide immunotherapy in ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Type III secretion systems are found in many Gram-negative pathogens and symbionts of animals and plants. Salmonella enterica has two type III secretion systems associated with virulence, one involved in the invasion of host cells and another involved in maintaining an appropriate intracellular niche. SrfJ is an effector of the second type III secretion system. In this study, we explored the biochemical function of SrfJ and the consequences for mammalian host cells of the expression of this S. enterica effector. Our experiments suggest that SrfJ is a glucosylceramidase that alters the lipidome and the transcriptome of host cells, both when expressed alone in epithelial cells and when translocated into macrophages in the context of Salmonella infection. We were able to identify seventeen lipids with higher levels and six lipids with lower levels in the presence of SrfJ. Analysis of the forty-five genes, the expression of which is significantly altered by SrfJ with a fold-change threshold of two, suggests that this effector may be involved in protecting Salmonella from host immune defenses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by T cell infiltration at lesion sites. T cell migration is greatly facilitated by chemokines produced by epithelial cells. Studies have noted the potential role of glutamine uptake in OLP and other inflammatory diseases. Here, we investigated the effect of altered glutamine uptake of epithelial cells on T cell infiltration and its underlying mechanisms in OLP. METHODS Immunohistochemistry was used to identify the expressions of glutamine transporter alanine-serine-cysteine transporter 2 (ASCT2) and C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) in oral tissues of OLP and healthy controls. Human gingival epithelial cells (HGECs) were treated with glutamine deprivation and ASCT2 inhibiter GPNA respectively to detect the expressions of CCL5 and its related signaling molecules. Additionally, we had determined the impact of epithelial cell-derived CCL5 on T-cell migration using a co-culture system in vitro. RESULTS ASCT2 and CCL5 expressions in OLP were significantly higher than healthy controls and positively correlated with the density of inflammatory infiltrations. Glutamine supplement significantly increased CCL5 production in HGECs, which was effectively inhibited by GPNA. Besides, glutamine could inhibit reactive oxygen species (ROS) production to activate the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) causing higher expression level of CCL5 in HGECs. Simultaneously, T cell migration could be blocked by anti-CCL5 neutralizing antibody and STAT3 inhibitor stattic in the co-culture system. CONCLUSION The upregulated ASCT2-mediated glutamine uptake in epithelial cells promotes CCL5 production via ROS-STAT3 signaling, which boosts the T-cell infiltration in OLP lesion.

Abstract
The clinical response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) correlates with tumor-infiltrating cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs) prior to treatment. However, many of these inflamed tumors resist ICB through unknown mechanisms. We show that tumors with transcription elongation deficiencies (TEdef+), which we previously reported as being resistant to ICB in mouse models and the clinic, have high baseline CTLs. We show that high baseline CTLs in TEdef+ tumors result from aberrant activation of the nucleic acid sensing-TBK1-CCL5/CXCL9 signaling cascade, which results in an immunosuppressive microenvironment with elevated regulatory T cells and exhausted CTLs. ICB therapy of TEdef+ tumors fail to increase CTL infiltration and suppress tumor growth in both experimental and clinical settings, suggesting that TEdef+, along with surrogate markers of tumor immunogenicity such as tumor mutational burden and CTLs, should be considered in the decision process for patient immunotherapy indication.

Abstract
Previously, we showed wild-type (WT) and mutant (mt) forms of p53 differentially regulate ROS generation by NADPH oxidase-4 (NOX4). We found that WT-p53 suppresses TGF-β-induced NOX4, ROS production, and cell migration, whereas tumor-associated mt-p53 proteins enhance NOX4 expression and cell migration by TGF-β/SMAD3-dependent mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the role of mutant p53-induced NOX4 on the cancer cell secretome and the effects NOX4 signaling have on the tumor microenvironment (TME). We found conditioned media collected from H1299 lung epithelial cells stably expressing either mutant p53-R248Q or R273H promotes the migration and invasion of naïve H1299 cells and chemotactic recruitment of THP-1 monocytes. These effects were diminished with conditioned media from cells co-transfected with dominant negative NOX4 (P437H). We utilized immunoblot-based cytokine array analysis to identify factors in mutant p53 H1299 cell conditioned media that promote cell migration and invasion. We found CCL5 was significantly reduced in conditioned media from H1299 cells co-expressing p53-R248Q and dominant negative NOX4. Moreover, neutralization of CCL5 reduced autocrine-mediated H1299 cell mobility. Furthermore, CCL5 and TGF-beta from M2-polarized macrophages have a significant role in crosstalk and H1299 cell migration and invasion. Collectively, our findings provide further insight into NOX4-based communication in the tumor microenvironment and its potential as a therapeutic target affecting metastatic disease progression.

Abstract
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a common malignancy with high morbidity and mortality. Although circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important roles in various cancers including ESCC, the role of the circRNA mannosidase alpha class 1A member 2 (circMAN1A2) in ESCC has been rarely studied. This study aimed to explore the role of circMAN1A2 in ESCC. CircMAN1A2 expression in ESCC tissues and cells was evaluated, and the relationship between circMAN1A2 expression and prognosis in patients with ESCC was analyzed. C-C chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) was found to be a downstream target of circMAN1A2 by analysing the Agilent Microarray. Next, we performed in vitro and in vivo xenotransplantation assays to explore the role of circMAN1A2 in ESCC. We observed that high circMAN1A2 expression is associated with poor prognosis in patients with ESCC. Suppression of circMAN1A2 expression inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasiveness of ESCC via regulating CCL5. Our results suggest that circMAN1A2 can promote the progression of ESCC by regulating CCL5. Thus, circMAN1A2 might be a novel diagnostic biomarker of ESCC, and targeting circMAN1A2 using inhibitors could be a potential therapeutic strategy to treat ESCC.

Abstract
Degenerative joint disease of the temporomandibular joints (DJD-TMJ) clinically manifests with symptoms such as orofacial pain, joint sounds and limited jaw movements. Our research group previously reported the functional necessity of a chemokine-chemokine receptor axis of CCL5-CCR5 in osteoclasts. Accumulated studies reported that this axis was involved in the pathogenesis of bone and joint destructive diseases, suggesting CCL5 as a potent biomarker. This study investigated whether or not the serum level of CCL5 can be a biomarker of DJD-TMJ and concomitantly analyzed changes in the serum and urine levels of bone markers to see whether or not changes in the rate of bone metabolism were predisposing. We enrolled 17 female subjects with diagnosed DJD-TMJ and sexually and age-matched 17 controls. The serum CCL5 level in DJD-TMJ subjects was significantly higher than that in the control subjects. Multivariate analyses indicated an association between an augmented CCL5 level and the rate of bone metabolism, especially in relatively young DJD-TMJ subjects without other systemic symptoms. A principal component analysis of serum markers and our pharmacological experiment using a postmenopausal model of ovariectomized rats suggested that an augmented serum CCL5 level specifically reflected DJD-TMJ and that covert changes in the rate of bone metabolism predisposed individuals to DJD-TMJ.

Abstract
Follicular atresia was initiated with the apoptosis of granulosa cells (GCs) mostly mediated by oxidative stress (OS). Our previous studies found that the number of CD8+ T cells and proportion of CD8+/CD4+ T cells increased in the follicles of diminished ovary reserve (DOR). However, the mechanism was still poorly explored. Herein, our results showed that the level of H2O2 in follicular fluid (FF) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in GCs were increased, while the expression of SOD1, SOD2 and GPX1 was down-regulated in GCs with DOR. In addition, we found that OS within a certain range promoted the expression of CCL5 in GCs, which facilitated the infiltration of CD8+ T cells to the follicles. In vitro co-culture experiment showed that CD8+ T cells inhibited GCs proliferation and promoted their apoptosis through intrinsic apoptosis pathway. Maraviroc, the CCR5 antagonist, alleviated CCL5-induced immune attack of CD8+ T cells. Our results indicated that ROS-CCL5 axis recruited CD8+ T cells into FF resulting in the apoptosis of GCs in DOR. This has further implications for the understanding of the pathology of DOR and searching for the therapeutic management of this disease.

Abstract
Accumulation and activation of immunocytes in adipose tissues are essential to obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance. Chemokines are pivotal for the recruitment of immunocytes in adipose tissue during obesity. Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (CCL5) plays a vital role in the recruitment of immunocytes to sites of inflammation. CCL5 expression level is increased in obese adipose tissue from humans and mice. However, the role of CCL5 in obesity-induced adipose inflammation remains unclear. Our study found that the CCL5 expression level was increased in the epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) of obese mice, particularly in CD8+ T cells. CCL5 knockout (KO) mice exhibited better glucose tolerance than wild-type (WT) mice under lean conditions. In contrast, CCL5 KO mice were more insulin resistant and had severe hepatic steatosis than WT mice under obese conditions. Increased T cells in adipose tissue heaven adipose inflammation in obese CCL5 KO mice. The compensatory increased T cell-associated chemokines may account for increased T cell content in the eWAT of obese CCL5 KO mice. These findings imply that CCL5 deficiency exacerbates adipose inflammation and impairs insulin sensitivity in the metabolic tissues of obese mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a common gastrointestinal malignant tumor, while the molecular mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Multiple circular RNAs have been reported to involve in the onset and progression of malignant tumors through various molecular mechanisms. However, the clinical significance and functional mechanism of most circRNAs involved in the progression of ESCC remains obscure. METHODS RNA-Seq was used to explore potential circRNAs in participated in 5 pairs of ESCC and their corresponding normal esophageal tissues. The up-regulated circCYP24A1 was selected. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was cunducted to verificated the expression and intracellular localization of circCYP24A1 by using the tissue microarray. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model was used to examine the potential prognostic value of circCYP24A1 on overall survival of ESCC patients. The biological function were confirmed by gain- and loss-of-function approaches in vivo. mRNA expression profile microarray was proformed to investigate the downstream signaling pathways involved in circCYP24A1. RNA pull-down assay and mass spectrometry were performed to identify the proteins associated with circCYP24A1. Rescue experiments were carried out to identified hypothetical regulatory role of circCYP24A1 on ESCC progression in vivo and in virto. RESULTS In this study, we identified circCYP24A1 in ESCC tissues by RNA sequencing, which is up-regulated in 114 cases of ESCC tissues and acts as a novel prognosis-related factor. Moreover, circCYP24A1 promoted the ability of proliferation, migration, invasion and clone formation in vitro, as well as tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, chemokine (C-Cmotif) ligand 5 (CCL5) is functional downstream mediator for circCYP24A1, which is screened by mRNA microarray. Moreover, circCYP24A1 physically interacts with M2 isoform of pyruvate kinase (PKM2). Rescue experiments showed that PKM2 knockdown partly reverses the promotional effects of circCYP24A1. It was revealed that circCYP24A1 increases secretion of CCL5 through the mechanism mainly by interacting with PKM2, an activator of NF-κB pathway, and thereby accelerate malignant progression of ESCC. CONCLUSIONS Up-regulated circCYP24A1 could activate NF-κB pathway by binding PKM2, which promotes the secretion of CCL5 and accelerate malignant progression of ESCC. Our fndings recommended a novel function for circCYP24A1 as a potential effective biomarker for judging prognosis and a therapeutic target in ESCC.

Abstract
In the present study, the effect of nortriptyline (1 and 10 μM), budesonide (10 nM) and their combination on the migration of peripheral blood lymphocytes and monocytes from patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) towards chemokines CCL5 and CXCL10 was evaluated by flow cytometry. Nortriptyline (10 μM), both alone and in combination with budesonide, inhibited the migration of T helper cells, cytotoxic T lymphocytes, NK cells and B lymphocytes towards CCL5 and CXCL10, as well as enhanced monocyte migration towards these chemokines. The combination of nortriptyline (1 μM) and budesonide suppressed the chemotaxis of lymphocyte subpopulations towards CXCL10, but not towards CCL5, more effectively than budesonide alone. The combination of nortriptyline (10 μM) and budesonide inhibited the migration of lymphocyte subpopulations towards CCL5 and CXCL10 and activated monocyte chemotaxis towards both chemokines more effectively than budesonide alone. The results of this study demonstrate the ability of nortriptyline alone to modulate the migration of peripheral blood lymphocytes and monocytes from patients with COPD and to potentiate the effects of budesonide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes unprovoked, recurrent seizures. Accumulating evidence from clinical and experimental studies indicates that neuroinflammation exacerbates seizure activity. METHODS We investigated the transcriptional changes occurring in specific brain domains of a seizure mouse model, using 10× Genomics spatial transcriptomics. Differential gene expression and pathway analysis were applied to investigate potential signaling targets for seizure, including CCL5/CCR5 pathway. Maraviroc, an FDA-approved C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) antagonist, was used to verify the impact of CCL5/CCR5 signaling in seizure mice. RESULTS We found distinguished regional transcriptome features in the hippocampus of seizure mice. The hippocampus exhibited unique inflammatory gene signatures, including glia activation, apoptosis, and immune response in seizure mice. Especially, we observed notable expression of C-C chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) throughout the entire seizure hippocampus. Blockade of CCL5/CCR5 signaling via maraviroc prevented microglia activation and neuron degeneration in seizure mice. CONCLUSIONS This study supports the potential of CCL5/CCR5 signaling for targeting neuroinflammation after seizure.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major pathogen that can cause acute respiratory infectious diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract, especially in children, elderly individuals, and immunocompromised people. Generally, following viral infection, respiratory epithelial cells secrete cytokines and chemokines to recruit immune cells and initiate innate and/or adaptive immune responses. However, whether chemokines affect viral replication in nonimmune cells is rarely clear. In this study, we detected that chemokine CCL5 was highly expressed, while expression of its receptor, CCR1, was downregulated in respiratory epithelial cells after RSV infection. When we overexpressed CCR1 on respiratory epithelial cells in vivo or in vitro, viral load was significantly suppressed, which can be restored by the neutralizing antibody for CCR1. Interestingly, the antiviral effect of CCR1 was not related to type I interferon (IFN-I), apoptosis induction, or viral adhesion or entry inhibition. In contrast, it was related to the preferential recruitment and activation of the adaptor Gαi, which promoted inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor type 3 (ITPR3) expression, leading to inhibited STAT3 phosphorylation; explicitly, phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3) was verified to be among the important factors regulating the activity of HSP90, which has been previously reported to be a chaperone of RSV RNA polymerase. In summary, we are the first to reveal that CCR1 on the surface of nonimmune cells regulates RSV replication through a previously unknown mechanism that does not involve IFN-I induction. IMPORTANCE Our results revealed a novel mechanism by which RSV escapes innate immunity. That is, although it induces high CCL5 expression, RSV might attenuate the binding of CCL5 by downregulating the expression of CCR1 in respiratory epithelial cells to weaken the inhibitory effect of CCR1 on HSP90 activity and thereby facilitate RSV replication in nonimmune cells. This study provides a new target for the development of co-antiviral inhibitors against other components of the host and co-molecular chaperone/HSP90 and provides a scientific basis for the search for effective broad-spectrum antiviral drugs.

Abstract
The C-C chemokine motif ligand 5 (CCL5) and its receptors have recently been thought to be substantially involved in the development of obesity-associated adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. However, the respective contributions of tissue-derived and myeloid-derived CCL5 to the etiology of obesity-induced adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance, and the involvement of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), remain unclear. This study used CCL5-knockout mice combined with bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and mice with local injections of shCCL5/shCCR5 or CCL5/CCR5 lentivirus into bilateral epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT). CCL5 gene deletion significantly ameliorated HFD-induced inflammatory reactions in eWAT and protected against the development of obesity and insulin resistance. In addition, tissue (non-hematopoietic) deletion of CCL5 using the BMT method not only ameliorated adipose tissue inflammation by suppressing pro-inflammatory M-MDSC (CD11b+Ly6G-Ly6Chi) accumulation and skewing local M1 macrophage polarization, but also recruited reparative M-MDSCs (CD11b+Ly6G-Ly6Clow) and M2 macrophages to the eWAT of HFD-induced obese mice, as shown by flow cytometry. Furthermore, modulation of tissue-derived CCL5/CCR5 expression by local injection of shCCL5/shCCR5 or CCL5/CCR5 lentivirus substantially impacted the distribution of pro-inflammatory and reparative M-MDSCs as well as macrophage polarization in bilateral eWAT. These findings suggest that an obesity-induced increase in adipose tissue CCL5-mediated signaling is crucial in the recruitment of tissue M-MDSCs and their trans-differentiation to tissue pro-inflammatory macrophages, resulting in adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance.

Abstract
Breast cancer represents the most common malignancy among women in the world. Although immuno-, chemo- and radiation therapy are widely recognized as the therapeutic trifecta, new strategies in the fight against breast cancer are continually explored. The local microenvironment around the tumor plays a great role in cancer progression and invasion, representing a promising therapeutic target. CCL5 is a potent chemokine with a physiological role of immune cell attraction and has gained particular attention in R&D for breast cancer treatment. Its receptor, CCR5, is a well-known co-factor for HIV entry through the cell membrane. Interestingly, biology research is unusually unified in describing CCL5 as a pro-oncogenic factor, especially in breast cancer. In silico, in vitro and in vivo studies blocking the CCL5/CCR5 axis show cancer cells become less invasive and less malignant, and the extracellular matrices produced are less oncogenic. At present, CCR5 blocking is a mainstay of HIV treatment, but despite its promising role in cancer treatment, CCR5 blocking in breast cancer remains unperformed. This review presents the role of the CCL5/CCR5 axis and its effector mechanisms, and names the most prominent hurdles for the clinical adoption of anti-CCR5 drugs in cancer.

Optimized dose selective HDAC inhibitor tucidinostat overcomes anti-PD-L1 antibody resistance in experimental solid tumors. BMC Med 2022; 20:435.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have influenced the treatment paradigm for multiple solid tumors, increasing evidence suggests that primary and adaptive resistance may limit the long-term efficacy of ICIs. New therapeutic strategies with other drug combinations are hence warranted to enhance the antitumor efficacy of ICIs. As a novel tumor suppressor, histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor tucidinostat has been successfully confirmed to act against hematological malignancies. However, the underlying mechanisms of action for tucidinostat and whether it can manipulate the tumor microenvironment (TME) in solid tumors remain unclear. METHODS Three murine tumor models (4T1, LLC, and CT26) were developed to define the significant role of different doses of tucidinostat in TME. The immunotherapeutic effect of tucidinostat combined with anti-programmed cell death ligand 1 antibody (aPD-L1) was demonstrated. Furthermore, the effect of tucidinostat on phenotypic characteristics of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from lung cancer patients was investigated. RESULTS With an optimized dose, tucidinostat could alter TME and promote the migration and infiltration of CD8+ T cells into tumors, partially by increasing the activity of C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) via NF-κB signaling. Moreover, tucidinostat significantly promoted M1 polarization of macrophages and increased the in vivo antitumor efficacy of aPD-L1. Tucidinostat also enhanced the expression of the costimulatory molecules on human monocytes, suggesting a novel and improved antigen-presenting function. CONCLUSIONS A combination regimen of tucidinostat and aPD-L1 may work synergistically to reduce tumor burden in patients with cancer by enhancing the immune function and provided a promising treatment strategy to overcome ICI treatment resistance.
