Chondrocyte apoptosis has important implications for OA onset and progression. This work was designed to explore the mechanisms of chondrocyte apoptosis in OA and identify key chondrocyte apoptosis-related genes (CARGs).\u0000Methods: GSE32317 and GSE55235 datasets were acquired from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. OA-associated module genes were determined via weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) in GSE32317. CARGs were acquired from public databases. ClusterProfiler was employed for GO and KEGG analyses. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network establishment was realized via STRING database and Cytoscape, and the hub genes were screened by MCC, MNC, and DMNC algorithms of cytoHubba. The diagnostic values of the hub CARGs in OA in GSE55235 was verified via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. C28/I2 cells were stimulated with IL-1β to establish the in vitro OA model.\u0000Results: WGCNA identified 9,141 OA-related genes and 248 CARGs, resulting in 75 CARGs in OA. GO and KEGG analyses demonstrated that the 75 CARGs were primarily enriched in response to lipopolysaccharide, transcription regulator complex, DNA-binding transcription factor binding, along with NF-kappa B and TNF signaling pathways. NFKB1 and ICAM1 were identified as the hub CARGs in OA through the three algorithms, which showed favorable prognostic values for OA. Notably, both bioinformatics analysis and in vitro assays revealed upregulated NFKB1 and ICAM1 expression in OA.\u0000Conclusions: NFKB1 and ICAM1 were the hub CARGs in OA, which might serve as the diagnostic signatures and therapeutic","PeriodicalId":55205,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Immunology","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140569998","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}

Electroacupuncture (EA) has been shown to exert a neuroprotective effect in IS. However, the specific anti-IS mechanisms of EA remain to be further elucidated. Thus, we aimed to investigate the anti-IS role of EA and its mechanism.\u0000Methods: By constructing a rat IS (middle cerebral artery occlusion, MCAO) model and performing EA treatment, the neurological deficit score, brain water content, and cerebral infarction were evaluated. ELISA was used to measure the levels of oxidative stress (OS)-related molecules (MDA, SOD, GSH, and CAT). Ferroptosis-related proteins (GPX4, SLC7A11, TfR1, L-ferritin, and hepcidin), neurological damage-related proteins (GFAP, Iba-1, and Nestin), α7nAChR, and mTOR pathway-related proteins (mTOR, p-mTOR, and SREBP1) in rat brain penumbra were assessed using western blotting.\u0000Results: Following EA treatment, the neurological deficit score, brain water content, cerebral infarction, and GFAP, Iba-1, and Nestin expression were reduced in the brain penumbra of MCAO rats. Additionally, EA treatment decreased MDA level and increased SOD, GSH, and CAT levels in the brain penumbra of MCAO rats. Moreover, MCAO rats showed elevated GPX4 and SLC7A11 expression and reduced TfR1, L-ferritin, and hepcidin in the brain penumbra following EA treatment. After EA treatment, α7nAChR, mTOR, p-mTOR, and SREBP1 expression were upregulated in the brain penumbra of MCAO rats.\u0000Conclusions: EA treatment inhibited OS and ferroptosis to exert a neuroprotective effect in IS, which might be realized via the activation of mTOR/SREBP1 signaling.","PeriodicalId":55205,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Immunology","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140035956","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}

Moreover, NK cells constitue the second most frequent immune cell in the liver. These properties have drawn significant attention towards leveraging NK cells in treating liver cancer, especially hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which accounts for 75% of all liver cancer and is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Notable anti-cancer functions of NK cells against HCC include activating antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC), facilitating Gasdermin E-mediated pyroptosis of HCC cells, and initiating an antitumor response via the cGAS-STING signaling pathway. In this review, we describe how these mechanisms work in the context of HCC. We will then discuss the existing preclinical and clinical studies that leverage NK cell activity to create single and combined immunotherapies.","PeriodicalId":55205,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Immunology","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139754891","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}
