Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), encompassing Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation, wherein defective efferocytosis contributes to the accumulation of ACs, secondary necrosis, and sustained mucosal damage. This review delineates the molecular mechanisms underlying efferocytosis and systematically examines its functional roles across five key intestinal phagocytic cell types: macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), neutrophils, intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), and Paneth cells (PCs). Particular emphasis is placed on the dysregulation of efferocytosis capacity in IBD pathogenesis and the consequences of impaired apoptotic cell clearance in both professional and non-professional phagocytes. Furthermore, we evaluate emerging therapeutic strategies designed to restore or enhance efferocytosis, including modulation of macrophage polarization, LC3-associated phagocytosis pathways, nanotechnology-enabled delivery systems, and stem cell-based interventions.

Inflammasomes, cytoplasmic protein complexes, are activated in response to PAMPs and DAMPs, leading to the release of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and IL-18. NLRP3 inflammasome is one of the best characterized inflammasomes and recently its activation has been associated with granuloma formation, structures that aggregate immune cells in response to infections, such as those caused by bacteria, fungi and parasites, and autoinflammatory diseases, such as sarcoidosis. Activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes in macrophages induces the release of cytokines that recruit immune cells, such as monocytes and lymphocytes, to the site of infection. Neutrophils, monocytes, T and B lymphocytes are important in the formation and maintenance of granulomas. Although NLRP3 plays a key role in the immune response, cell recruitment and granuloma formation, many aspects of its function in different cell types remain to be elucidated. In this review, we aim to outline the NLRP3 inflammasome not only as a protein complex that aids innate immune cells in combating intracellular pathogens but also as a platform with broader implications in orchestrating immune responses. This underexplored aspect of the NLRP3 inflammasome presents a novel perspective on its involvement in immunity. Thus, we review the current understanding of the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in immune cell infiltration and its significance in the organization and formation of granulomas in inflammatory diseases.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9795,"journal":{"name":"Cellular immunology","volume":"411 ","pages":"Article 104961"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143917556","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}

However, the effect of BECs from different age groups (young and old) on Th17 cells remains unclear.

Interestingly, MBD2 was highly expressed in BECs from older mice compared to BECs from young mice. MBD2 silencing induced inhibition of Th17 cell differentiation, while MBD2 overexpression reversed this change and promoted Th cell differentiation into Th17 cells. Soluble inducible T cell costimulator ligand (sICOSL) is mainly involved in the regulation of T cells after activation. In this study, we found that sICOSL levels were lower in BECs of old mice compared to BECs of young mice. Mechanistically, sICOSL levels increased with MBD2 silencing and decreased with MBD2 overexpression. As expected, the addition of anti-sICOSL antibodies significantly enhanced Th17 cell differentiation and suppressed Th2 cell differentiation, while exogenous sICOSL supplementation promoted Th2 cell differentiation and inhibited Th17 cell differentiation. However, neither anti-sICOSL nor exogenous sICOSL affected the expression of MBD2.

Identification of the appropriate Treg populations as donor sources for effective cell therapy is of great importance. We have recently identified specialized Tregs that localize within the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) microenvironments(Fujisaki et al., 2011; Hirata et al., 2018, 2019, 2015; Kakiuchi et al., 2021a, 2021b; Furuhashi et al., 2025<sup>9–16)</sup> of bone marrow (BM), termed HSC niches.

The transfer of BM niche Tregs inhibited the generation of Th17 cells and promoted the regeneration and recovery of the colon tissue. Targeted deletion of CD39 in Tregs abrogated therapeutic effects of transferred BM niche Tregs.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>We show robust therapeutic effects of the transfer of BM niche Tregs in the experimental model of colitis. Donor niche Tregs mediate anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative effects via Treg CD39. Our work suggests the transfer of BM niche Tregs is a promising approach to treat colitic disorders and boost tissue regeneration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9795,"journal":{"name":"Cellular immunology","volume":"411 ","pages":"Article 104952"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143881622","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}
