In recent years M2-like macrophages have been found to play an important role in the pathological process of RA by mediating pro-inflammatory effects, but their roles in the bone destruction of autoimmune arthritis have not been reported. In this study we identified that an abundant cell population of CD45+CD11b+Gr-1-F4/80+CD206+ cells, which were normally classified as M2-like macrophages, was present in synovium of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice, and these cells had the potential to differentiate into osteoclasts. These M2-like macrophages sorted from CIA synovium highly expressed RANK and could be activated by RANKL and M-CSF to acquire osteoclast markers and bone resorption function both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, in vitro differentiated M2 macrophages from both CIA mouse bone marrow and RA patient peripheral blood mononuclear cells were also able to differentiate into osteoclasts, confirming the general osteoclastogenesis capability of M2 subtype macrophages. All these results suggest that synovial F4/80+CD206+ M2-like macrophages in RA may be novel osteoclast precursors and contribute significantly to bone erosive changes seen in RA. Our studies provided new directions and targets for the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.","PeriodicalId":55162,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Inflammation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47107093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No significant differences were observed between IBD patients and control subjects as regards superficial vascular plexus density, deep vascular plexus density, and choriocapillaris vascular density, retinal and choroidal thickness in the macular area ( p > .05). Although not statistically significant, vascular density generally increased. On the other hand, retinal and choroidal thickness were decreased.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of PYT in vitro on HCT116 and HT-29 cell lines and to analyse the intricate mechanism of NF-κB-β-catenin signalling pathways. Both cell lines were treated with PYT, and analysed for cell viability, apoptosis, progression of cell cycle, and DNA fragmentation. Gene and protein expression analysis was performed to assess the molecular mechanism. PYT suppressed the proliferation of colorectal cancer cell lines in a dose- and time-dependent manner with an estimated IC50 value of 2.96 and 3.35 mm, respectively. PYT caused cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in both CRC cell lines and induced mitochondrial intrinsic apoptosis via activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3 cascade. PYT suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory markers especially COX-2 and iNOS, and IL-lβ, IL-6, and IL-10. Analysing the mechanism behind the effects of PYT showed that it suppressed the levels of NF-κB and β-catenin and inhibited the levels of cyclin Dl and c-Myc (its downstream targets) and COX-2. The results collectively indicate the potent anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative effects of PYT in CRC cell lines that were mediated by downregulating the β-catenin and NF-κB signalling pathways. Results advocate that natural supplementation of PYT can be an effective preventive approach in controlling cancer of colorectal region.","PeriodicalId":55162,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Inflammation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42272411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is related to the occurrence and development of RIF, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we investigated whether IL-33 mediates the EMT of RTECs by activating the NF-κB/Twist1 signalling pathway. Methods: In vivo, the RIF animal model induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) was established. The effects of exogenous IL-33 and anti-IL-33 antibodies were evaluated. In vitro, the EMT of RTECs was induced by IL-33. The inhibition of the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) by the pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) and the knockdown of the suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) by small interference RNA were used to observe whether IL-33 mediates the EMT of RTECs through the NF-κB/Twist1 signaling pathway. Results: In vivo, exogenous IL-33 significantly aggravated UUO-induced pathological damage and collagen deposition, down-regulated E-cadherin expression, and up-regulated α-smooth muscle actin and Vimentin expressions. Moreover, exogenous IL-33 increased the levels of phospho-IκB-α (p-IκB-α) and phospho-NF-κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65), NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation, and Twist1 nuclear expression. However, these effects were reversed by the anti-IL-33 antibody. In vitro , the increases in the levels of p-IκB-α, p-NF-κB p65, NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation, and Twist1 nuclear expression induced by IL-33 were inhibited by the knockdown of PDTC or ST2. IL-33-mediated EMT of RTECs was also significantly reversed. However, NF-κB inhibitor PDTC had no significant effect on ST2 expression. Conclusions: The IL-33/ST2 axis may up-regulate the expression of Twist1 through the NF-κB signalling pathway, thereby inducing the EMT of RTECs and leading to RIF.","PeriodicalId":55162,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Inflammation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44109633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) can promote the proliferation of stem cell. We hypothesized that MYDGF may play a role in reducing lung injury in vitro and in vivo through bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Methods: An in vitro model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)(MLE-12) was established, which was divided into five groups: A: MLE-12; B: MLE-12+LPS; C: MLE-12+LPS + BMSCs; D: MLE-12+LPS + MYDGF; and E: MLE-12+LPS + BMSCs + MYDGF. A Cell Counting Kit-8 was used to detect the OD value. And an ALI model was constructed by inducing mice with a lipopolysaccharide. Forty male Balb/c mice were randomly divided into five groups: A control group; B: model group; C: LPS + BMSCs; D: LPS + MYDGF; E: LPS +BMSCs +MYDGF. Specimens were collected after 24 h. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE)-staining was performed on the tissue sections. The protein concentration in the alveolar lavage fluid was measure by bicinchoninic acid (BCA). The NF-κB, p-Akt, Bax, and Bcl-2 protein expression was detected through Western blotting, and Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the expression of serum interleukin-6, interleukin-10, and TNF-α. Results: Compared with the model group, BMSCs and MYDGF can alleviate the ALI induced by lipopolysaccharide in vitro and vivo ( p < .05). Conclusion: We found that the combined treatment effect of MYDGF and BMSCs was better than using MYDGF or BMSCs alone. We speculate that a pretreatment with MYDGF after ALI in mice may improve the survival and growth of transplanted MSCs, thereby improving the curative effect of cell transplantation.","PeriodicalId":55162,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Inflammation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44405022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Well-trained professionals took anthropometric measurements. The biochemical analysis was performed with the automatic biochemical analyzer Cobas Integra 400 Plus from Roche.
