Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with Ang II (1.0 μmo/L) to induce cellular senescence models, followed by transfection with ROCK-siRNA. The cells were divided into four groups: control group, model group, negative transfection control group (Ang II combined with NC-siRNA), and ROCK-siRNA transfection group (Ang II combined with ROCK-siRNA). Cellular senescence was assessed by SA-β-Gal staining. EMP levels in cell supernatants and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were assessed using flow cytometry. The expression levels of silenced information regulator 1(SIRT1) and p53 protein in each group were analyzed by Western blotting. Results Following ROCK-siRNA transfection, the number of senescent cells induced by Ang II was significantly reduced, accompanied by decreased CD31⁺ EMP levels and suppressed intracellular ROS levels. Meanwhile, the expression levels of SIRT1 were up-regulated, while the expression levels of p53 were down-regulated.

After GapmeR transfection of macrophages with Hcy intervention, EFRL knockdown negative control group (Hcy combined with LNA-NC) and EFRL knockdown group (Hcy combined with LNA-EFRL) were set up. High-throughput sequencing was applied for different expression of LncRNA MSTRG. 88917.16 (EFRL), UCSC was used to analyze its conservation, CPC and CPAT were used to analyze its ability to encode proteins, and GO and KEGG were used to analyze related biological functions. The localization of LncRNA EFRL in macrophages was analyzed by nucleoplasmic separation and RNA-FISH. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect the expression levels of LncRNA EFRL and its target gene SPAST in Hcy-treated macrophages. The apoptosis rate of Jurkat cells induced by UV was detected by flow cytometry. In vitro efferocytosis assay combined with immunofluorescence technique was used to analyze macrophage efferocytosis. ELISA was used to detect the levels of interleukin 1β(IL-1β) and IL-18. Results The new LncRNA MSTRG.88917.16 was identified and named EFRL(Efferocytosis Relatived LncRNA). UCSC, CPC and CPAT analyses showed that LncEFRL is highly conserved and does not have the ability to encode proteins. GO and KEGG analyses suggested that LncEFRL may be involved in macrophage efferocytosis.

Methods LX-2 cells were divided into control group, transforming growth factor β(TGF-β) group, and TGF-β combined with GPS (25, 50, 100, 150 μmol/mL) groups. Cell proliferation was detected by EDU assay, cell invasion was assessed by Transwell&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt; assay, and the protein expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and type I collagen (COL1A1) were measured by Western blot. M1-type macrophage-conditioned medium (M1-CM) was used to treat LX-2 cells in the TGF-β group and TGF-β combined with GPS group. The concentrations of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and arginase 1 (Arg1) in the cell supernatant, as well as cell proliferation, invasion ability, and the expressions of α-SMA and COL1A1 were detected. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify the target intersections of GPS, hepatic fibrosis, and macrophage-related genes. Drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) experiments and Western blot were used to verify the regulatory effect of GPS on MIF. Furthermore, LX-2 cells were divided into control group, TGF-β group, TGF-β combined with M2-CM group, TGF-β and oe-NC combined with M2-CM group, and TGF-β and oe-MIF combined with M2-CM group to analyze the concentrations of iNOS and Arg1 in the cell supernatant, as well as changes in cell proliferation, invasion, and the expressions of α-SMA and COL1A1. LX-2 cells were also divided into control group, TGF-β group, TGF-β combined with oe-NC group, TGF-β combined with oe-MIF group, and TGF-β and oe-MIF combined with GPS group to determine the protein expressions of MIF and SPP1 by Western blot. A rat model of hepatic fibrosis was constructed to explore the potential therapeutic effects of GPS on hepatic fibrosis in vivo. Results Compared with the control group, the proliferation and invasion abilities of LX-2 cells in the TGF-β group were increased, and the protein expressions of α-SMA and COL1A1 were enhanced. GPS intervention inhibited the proliferation and invasion of LX-2 cells under TGF-β conditions and reduced the expressions of α-SMA and COL1A1. Compared with the control group, the concentration of iNOS in the cell supernatant of the TGF-β group was upregulated, while the concentration of Arg1 was decreased. M1-CM treatment further increased the concentration of iNOS, decreased the concentration of Arg1, and promoted cell proliferation and invasion, as well as upregulated the expressions of α-SMA and COL1A1 on the basis of TGF-β intervention. However, GPS could reverse the effects of M1-CM intervention.

The pathogenesis and treatment of SLE are currently under extensive investigation. In normal metabolic processes, autophagy engages in both innate and adaptive immunity, regulates the immune response, and is crucial for maintaining normal immune function and the body's internal homeostasis. Research has indicated that SLE patients exhibit immune dysfunction and altered autophagy levels. Modulating autophagy expression can influence immune system functionality and alleviate SLE symptoms. Additionally, autophagy aids in the innate immune response and adaptive immunity by clearing metabolites and regulating the life cycle of immune cells.

Bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was isolated from 27 COPD patients with secondary fungal pneumonia. CD8⁺ T cells were purified. The levels of four IL-36 isoforms in plasma and BALF were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). CD8⁺ T cells were stimulated with recombinant human IL-36γ. The levels of interferon γ(IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α), perforin and granzyme B in the cultured supernatants were measured by ELISA. Recombinant human IL-36γ-stimulated CD8⁺ T cells were co-cultured with NCI-H1882 cells in either direct cell-to-cell contact or Transwell^TM manner. The levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, and lactate dehydrogenase in the cultured supernatants were assessed. The percentage of target cell death was calculated.
