Here we show that dysregulated lipid metabolism and increased lipid peroxidation in nasal polyp epithelial cells contribute to the pathogenesis of CRSwNP. Integrated analysis of bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data reveals upregulation of SLC27A2/FATP2 in nasal polyp epithelium, which correlates with increased lipid peroxidation. SLC27A2-positive epithelial cells exhibit enriched expression of lipid peroxidation pathway genes and enhanced responsiveness to IL-4/IL-13 signaling from Th2 and ILC2 cells. Inhibition of IL-4/IL-13 signaling by dupilumab reduces expression of lipid peroxidation-associated genes, including SLC27A2. In eosinophilic CRSwNP, SLC27A2 expression correlates with disease severity. Pharmacological inhibition of FATP2 in air-liquid interface cultures of nasal epithelial cells decreases expression of IL13RA1 and lipid peroxidation-related genes.

Although our current understanding the mechanisms underlying ASD is growing, effective treatment options are still underdevelopment. Extracellular vesicles derived from the probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei (LpEV) have shown neuroprotective effects in both in vitro and in vivo models. Here we investigate whether LpEV can alleviate core symptoms in genetic ASD models that exhibit accumulated developmental deficits. Dopamine receptor D2 (Drd2)-knockout (KO) mice exhibit social behavior deficits and excessive grooming, core symptoms of ASD. LpEV treatment significantly improves these autistic-like behaviors in Drd2-KO mice, suggesting that LpEVs can mitigate the persistent dysregulation of signaling pathways in these mice. RNA sequencing followed by Gene Ontology enrichment analysis of LpEV-treated Drd2-KO mice identifies distinct groups of genes altered in the brain of Drd2-KO mice, which were reversed by LpEV treatment. Notably, a high proportion of these genes overlap significantly with known ASD genes in the SFARI database, strengthening the potential of LpEV to target relevant pathways in ASD. Further investigation identifies oxytocin and oxytocin receptor (Oxtr) as potential therapeutic targets. LpEV treatment significantly improves autistic-like behaviors in Oxtr-KO heterozygous mice, adenylyl cyclase-5 KO mice and Shank3-KO mice, suggesting its therapeutic potential to target ASD through broader mechanisms beyond a single gene pathway.

While the aggregation and activation of lung fibroblasts are central to the initiation of pulmonary fibrosis, the macrophage-myofibroblast transition (MMT) has recently been identified as a novel source of fibroblasts in this context. However, the mechanisms driving MMT remain inadequately understood. Given the emerging role of migrasomes (novel extracellular vesicles mediating intercellular communication), we investigated their involvement in pulmonary fibrosis. Here we utilized a lipopolysaccharide-induced SAPF mouse model and an in vitro co-culture system of fibroblasts and macrophages to observe the MMT process during SAPF. We found that lipopolysaccharide exposure suppresses PGC-1α expression in lung fibroblasts, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction and the accumulation of cytosolic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). This dysfunction promotes the secretion of mtDNA-containing migrasomes, which, in turn, initiate the MMT process and contribute to fibrosis progression. Notably, the activation of PGC-1α mitigates mitochondrial dysfunction, reduces mtDNA-migrasome release, inhibits MMT and alleviates SAPF. In conclusion, our study identifies the suppression of PGC-1α in lung fibroblasts and the subsequent release of mtDNA migrasomes as a novel mechanism driving MMT in SAPF. These findings suggest that targeting the crosstalk between fibroblasts and immune cells mediated by migrasomes could represent a promising therapeutic strategy for SAPF.</p>","PeriodicalId":50466,"journal":{"name":"Experimental and Molecular Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143755895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
