Abstract
The monocyte recruitment and foam cell formation have been intensively investigated in atherosclerosis. Nevertheless, as the study progressed, it was obvious that crucial molecules participated in the monocyte recruitment and the membrane proteins in macrophages exhibited substantial glycosylation modifications. These modifications can exert a significant influence on protein functions and may even impact the overall progression of diseases. This article provides a review of the effects of glycosylation modifications on monocyte recruitment and foam cell formation. By elaborating on these effects, we aim to understand the underlying mechanisms of atherogenesis further and to provide new insights into the future treatment of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Monocytes play essential roles in the inflammatory and anti-inflammatory processes that take place during an immune response, acting both within the vascular network and interstitially. Monocytes are activated, mobilized, and recruited in response to an inflammatory stimulus or different forms of tissue injury. The recruitment of circulating monocytes to the inflamed tissue is essential to resolving the injury.Monocyte recruitment is a multistep process that begins with a decrease in rolling velocity, is followed by adhesion to the endothelium and crawling over the luminal vessel surface, and culminates in monocyte transmigration into the surrounding tissue. Intravital microscopy is a powerful visualization tool for the study of leukocyte behavior and function, intercellular interactions, cell trafficking, and recruitment in pathological and physiological conditions. This modality is therefore widely used for the detailed analysis of the immune response to multiple insults and the molecular mechanisms underlying monocyte interactions within the vascular system in vivo. This chapter describes a protocol for the use of intravital microscopy to analyze monocyte recruitment from the blood vessel to the inflammatory site.

Abstract
Since non-covalent bound character and widespread application in numerous products, people are exposed to di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) at low levels through various ways. Epidemiological studies suggested an association between DBP exposure and atherosclerosis (AS). Still, molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the effects of DBP on monocyte recruitment, a key and initial step of AS. EA.hy926 cells were treated with DBP (10-9-10-5 M) or DMSO as control. Chemotaxis assay was applied to investigate THP-1 recruitment. Expression of mRNA /miRNAs and proteins were measured by qRT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Levels of monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) in supernatant were detected by ELISA assay. Receptor internalization assay was performed to confirm C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) subcellular localization in THP-1 cells and the binding between CCR2 and MCP-1. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to analyze the combination between miR-137-3p and specificity protein 1 (SP1), as well as SP1 and MCP-1. Results showed that number of recruited THP-1 cells after EA.hy926 cells treated by DBP was significantly higher than that in the control group due to promoted MCP-1 expression. In addition, expression of MCP-1 was regulated through miR-137-3p-SP1 cascade. Besides, overexpression of miR-137-3p reversed the increased number of recruited THP-1 cells. Our results implied that DBP might promote THP-1 recruitment by targeting miR-137-3p-SP1-MCP-1 in EA.hy926 cells.

Abstract
Macrophages are phagocytic sentinel cells of the immune system that are central to both innate and adaptive immune responses and serve as the first line of defense against pathogenic insults to tissues. In the tumor microenvironment, tumor-derived factors induce monocyte polarization towards a pro-tumor phenotype. The pro-tumor macrophages regulate key steps in tumorigenicity including tumor growth, angiogenesis, immune suppression, and metastasis. Macrophage infiltration in solid tumors correlates with poor prognosis and resistance to chemotherapy in most cancers. Here in this review, we will shed light on tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in regulating tumorigenicity and TAMs as a prognostic biomarker. Also, we will review the recent advances in targeting TAMs to increase the prognosis of cancer patients.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis remains a disease of uncertain pathogenesis and no established specific therapy. Previously, we found a predominant increase and active proliferation of macrophages in the inflamed tissues of a rat duct-ligation pancreatitis model. To analyze the origin and possible role of these macrophages, we investigated their in situ cellular kinetics in a rat model of duct-ligation pancreatitis using a recently established method of multicolor immunostaining for macrophage markers and for proliferating cells with ethynyl deoxyuridine. To detect monocyte-derived macrophages, green fluorescent protein-transgenic (GFP+) leukocytes were transferred to monocyte-depleted recipients. In the inflamed pancreas, infiltrating macrophages were mainly two phenotypes, CD68+CD163− round cells and CD68+CD163+ large polygonal cells, both of which showed active proliferation. In the interlobular area, the proportions of CD68+CD163low and CD68+CD163high cells increased over time. Most expressed the M2-macrophage markers CD206 and arginase 1. In contrast, in the interacinar area, CD68+ cells did not upregulate CD163 and CD206, but ~30 % of them expressed the M1 marker nitric oxide synthase 2 on day 4. GFP+-recruited cells were primarily CD68+CD163− monocytes on day 1 and showed phenotypic changes similar to those of the monocyte non-depleted groups. In conclusion, infiltrating macrophages mostly formed two distinct subpopulations in different areas: monocyte-derived macrophages with the M2 phenotype in the interlobular area or non-M2 phenotype in the interacinar area. Involvement of resident macrophages might be minor in this model. These results are the first demonstration of an upregulated M2 phenotype in rat inflammatory monocytes, which may promote tissue repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infectious agents have been linked to atherosclerosis and its acute manifestations; however, little is known about their influence in the context of established risk factors. OBJECTIVE To elucidate the role of the cytomegalovirus (CMV)-encoded chemokine receptor US28 in myocardial infarction (MI) afflicting patients with or without type II diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) on a molecular level. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a group of patients (n=112) with a high prevalence of NIDDM and coronary artery disease, CMV serology was performed, and mRNA expression of US28 and immediate early 1 gene as markers of CMV reactivation were analyzed in peripheral mononuclear blood cells by a nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Moreover, transendothelial chemotaxis assays using mononuclear cells transfected with or without US28 were performed in vitro. RESULTS While the incidence of smoking was higher in nondiabetic patients with MI than in those without MI, significant differences in other risk factors, such as cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, fibrinogen, blood pressure, and Chlamydia pneumoniae immunoglobulin G or CMV immunoglobulin G titres, were not observed. In contrast, the levels of C-reactive protein reflecting inflammation or infection were raised in NIDDM patients with or without MI. Notably, mRNA expression of intermediate early 1 gene and US28 indicative of CMV reactivation was detected in a small subset (four of 21) of NIDDM patients with MI but not in those without MI (P<0.03). Transfection of US28 in mononuclear cells conferred transendothelial chemotaxis to monocyte chemokines, inferring a mechanism for deleterious effects of CMV under permissive conditions. CONCLUSIONS Results show that MI was associated with mononuclear expression of CMV genes such as functional chemokine receptor US28 in a subset of patients with NIDDM, inferring that this association may predispose to MI. Ongoing infection or inflammation in NIDDM patients as shown by increased C-reactive protein may account for susceptibility to CMV reactivation and MI.
