Abstract
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a leading cause of disability and death worldwide, with immune regulation playing a crucial role in its pathogenesis. Various immune cells are involved, and as one of the key immune cells residing in the heart, macrophages play an indispensable role in the inflammatory and reparative processes during cardiac ischemia. Exosomes, extracellular vesicles containing lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and other bioactive molecules, have emerged as important mediators in the regulatory functions of macrophages and hold promise as a novel therapeutic target for IHD. This review summarizes the regulatory mechanisms of different subsets of macrophages and their secreted exosomes during cardiac ischemia over the past five years. It also discusses the current status of clinical research utilizing macrophages and their exosomes, as well as strategies to enhance their therapeutic efficacy through biotechnology. The aim is to provide valuable insights for the treatment of IHD.

Osteopontin interacts with dendritic cells and macrophages in pulp inflammation: Comprehensive transcriptomic analysis and laboratory investigations. Int Endod J 2024; 57:464-476. [PMID: 38279773 DOI: 10.1111/iej.14028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 01/07/2024] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
AIM To investigate novel diagnostic markers for pulpitis and validate by clinical samples from normal and inflamed pulp. To explore the relationship between diagnostic markers and immune cells or their phenotypes during pulp inflammation. METHODOLOGY Two microarray datasets, GSE77459 and GSE92681, and identified differential expression genes were integrated. To understand immune features, gene functions, Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Disease Ontology (DO) and ImmuneSigDB Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) were analysed. For predictive purposes, machine learning techniques were applied to detect diagnostic markers. Immune infiltration in inflamed pulp was studied using CIBERSORT. The relationship between diagnostic markers and immune cells was investigated and validated their gene expression in clinical samples from the normal or inflamed pulp by qRT-PCR. Finally, the correlation between one marker, secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1), encoding osteopontin (OPN), and dendritic cells (DCs)/macrophages was identified via HE staining and multiplex immunohistochemistry. An in vitro inflammatory dental pulp microenvironment model of THP-1 macrophages cocultured with dental pulp cells derived conditioned media (DPCs-CM) to investigate OPN production and macrophage phenotypes was established. RESULTS Analysis revealed unique immunologic features in inflamed pulp. Three diagnostic markers for pulpitis: endothelin-1 (EDN1), SPP1, and purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP), and validated them using qRT-PCR were predicted. Multiplex immunohistochemistry demonstrated OPN co-localized with activated DCs and M2 macrophages during pulp inflammation. In vitro experiments showed that THP-1 macrophages produced the highest levels of OPN when stimulated with DPCs-CM derived from the 20 μg/mL LPS pre-conditioned group, suggesting an M2b-like phenotype by increasing surface marker CD86 and expression of IL6, TNFα, IL10, and CCL1 but not CCL17 and MerTK. Levels of CCL1 and IL10 elevated significantly in the macrophages' supernatant from the 20 μg/mL LPS pre-conditioned CM group. OPN was proven co-localizing with CD86 in the inflamed pulp by immunofluorescence. CONCLUSIONS The current findings suggest that OPN can serve as a promising biomarker for pulpitis, correlated with DCs and macrophages. OPN+ macrophages in the inflamed pulp are associated with M2b-like phenotypes. These insights offer the potential for improved diagnosis and targeted therapy.

Abstract
Although most cases of myocarditis are self-limiting with a gradual improvement in cardiac function, the involvement of myocarditis in sudden cardiac death among children and young adults remains substantial, with rates of 3-17 % and 8.6-12 %, respectively. Moreover, the risk of developing chronic dilated cardiomyopathy ranges from 21 % to 30 % in all cases confirmed by biopsy. Current therapeutic strategies for myocarditis and its complications range from standard supportive care for heart failure and arrhythmias to etiologically oriented, case-based therapeutic options. For example, immunosuppression is indicated only in certain forms of acute myocarditis with clinical or endomyocardial biopsy evidence of immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced myocarditis and autoimmune diseases, including giant cell myocarditis, eosinophilic myocarditis, vasculitis, or cardiac sarcoidosis. However, our views on myocarditis treatment have changed considerably over the past two decades, thanks to the emergence of regenerative cells/tissues as well as drug and gene delivery systems. Cell-based therapies are now growing in popularity in any field of medicine. Studies evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of different stem cells in the treatment of acute myocarditis and its chronic complications have shown that although the experimental characteristics varied from study to study, in general, these strategies reduced inflammation and myocardial fibrosis while preventing myocarditis-induced systolic dysfunction and adverse remodeling in animal models.

Abstract
The lymphatic system maintains tissue fluid homeostasis and it is involved in the transport of nutrients and immunosurveillance. It also plays a pivotal role in both pathological and regenerative processes. Lymphatic development in the embryo occurs by polarization and proliferation of lymphatic endothelial cells from the lymph sacs, that is, lymphangiogenesis. Alternatively, lymphvasculogenesis further contributes to the formation of lymphatic vessels. In adult tissues, lymphatic formation rarely occurs under physiological conditions, being restricted to pathological processes. In lymphvasculogenesis, progenitor cells seem to be a source of lymphatic vessels. Indeed, mesenchymal stem cells, adipose stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, and colony-forming endothelial cells are able to promote lymphatic regeneration by different mechanisms, such as direct differentiation and paracrine effects. In this review, we summarize what is known on the diverse stem/progenitor cell niches available for the lymphatic system, emphasizing the potential that these cells hold for lymphatic tissue engineering through 3D bioprinting and their translation to clinical application.

Abstract
Fibrosis can occur in all major organs with relentless progress, ultimately leading to organ failure and potentially death. Unfortunately, current clinical treatments cannot prevent or reverse tissue fibrosis. Thus, new and effective antifibrotic therapeutics are urgently needed. In recent years, a growing body of research shows that macrophages are involved in fibrosis. Macrophages are highly heterogeneous, polarizing into different phenotypes. Some studies have found that regulating macrophage polarization can inhibit the development of inflammation and cancer. However, the exact mechanism of macrophage polarization in different tissue fibrosis has not been fully elucidated. This review will discuss the major signaling pathways relevant to macrophage-driven fibrosis and profibrotic macrophage polarization, the role of macrophage polarization in fibrosis of lung, kidney, liver, skin, and heart, potential therapeutics targets, and investigational drugs currently in development, and hopefully, provide a useful review for the future treatment of fibrosis.

Abstract
In recent years, the study of lymphangiogenesis and fibrotic diseases has made considerable achievements, and accumulating evidence indicates that lymphangiogenesis plays a key role in the process of fibrosis in various organs. Although the effects of lymphangiogenesis on fibrosis disease have not been conclusively determined due to different disease models and pathological stages of organ fibrosis, its importance in the development of fibrosis is unquestionable. Therefore, we expounded on the characteristics of lymphangiogenesis in fibrotic diseases from the effects of lymphangiogenesis on fibrosis, the source of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs), the mechanism of fibrosis-related lymphangiogenesis, and the therapeutic effect of intervening lymphangiogenesis on fibrosis. We found that expansion of LECs or lymphatic networks occurs through original endothelial cell budding or macrophage differentiation into LECs, and the vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC)/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR3) pathway is central in fibrosis-related lymphangiogenesis. Lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor 1 (LYVE1), as a receptor of LECs, is also involved in the regulation of lymphangiogenesis. Intervention with lymphangiogenesis improves fibrosis to some extent. In the complex organ fibrosis microenvironment, a variety of functional cells, inflammatory factors and chemokines synergistically or antagonistically form the complex network involved in fibrosis-related lymphangiogenesis and regulate the progression of fibrosis disease. Further clarifying the formation of a new fibrosis-related lymphangiogenesis network may potentially provide new strategies for the treatment of fibrosis disease.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) causes excessive damage to the myocardium, including the epicardium. However, whether pluripotent stem cell-derived epicardial cells (EPs) can be a therapeutic approach for infarcted hearts remains unclear. Here, the authors report that intramyocardial injection of human embryonic stem cell-derived EPs (hEPs) at the acute phase of MI ameliorates functional worsening and scar formation in mouse hearts, concomitantly with enhanced cardiomyocyte survival, angiogenesis, and lymphangiogenesis. Mechanistically, hEPs suppress MI-induced infiltration and cytokine-release of inflammatory cells and promote reparative macrophage polarization. These effects are blocked by a type I interferon (IFN-I) receptor agonist RO8191. Moreover, intelectin 1 (ITLN1), abundantly secreted by hEPs, interacts with IFN-β and mimics the effects of hEP-conditioned medium in suppression of IFN-β-stimulated responses in macrophages and promotion of reparative macrophage polarization, whereas ITLN1 downregulation in hEPs cancels beneficial effects of hEPs in anti-inflammation, IFN-I response inhibition, and cardiac repair. Further, similar beneficial effects of hEPs are observed in a clinically relevant porcine model of reperfused MI, with no increases in the risk of hepatic, renal, and cardiac toxicity. Collectively, this study reveals hEPs as an inflammatory modulator in promoting infarct healing via a paracrine mechanism and provides a new therapeutic approach for infarcted hearts.

Abstract
Macrophages as innate immune cells with great plasticity are of great interest for cell therapy. There are two main macrophage populations - pro- and anti-inflammatory cells also known as M1 and M2. High potential in cancer research contributed to the in-depth study of the molecular processes leading to the polarization of macrophages into the M1 phenotype, and much less attention has been paid to anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages, which can be successfully used in cell therapy of inflammatory diseases. This review describes ontogenesis of macrophages, main functions of pro- and and-inflammatory cells and four M2 subpopulations characterized by different functionalities. Data on agents (cytokines, microRNAs, drugs, plant extracts) that may induce M2 polarization through the changes in microenvironment, metabolism, and efferocytosis are summarized. Finally, recent attempts at stable macrophage polarization using genetic modifications are described. This review may be helpful for researchers concerned with the problem of M2 macrophage polarization and potential use of these anti-inflammatory cells for the purposes of regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Lymphangiogenesis is the mechanism by which the lymphatic system develops and expands new vessels facilitating fluid drainage and immune cell trafficking. Models to study lymphangiogenesis are necessary for a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms and to identify or test new therapeutic agents that target lymphangiogenesis. Across the lymphatic literature, multiple models have been developed to study lymphangiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, lymphangiogenesis can be modeled with varying complexity, from monolayers to hydrogels to explants, with common metrics for characterizing proliferation, migration, and sprouting of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) and vessels. In comparison, in vivo models of lymphangiogenesis often use genetically modified zebrafish and mice, with in situ mouse models in the ear, cornea, hind leg, and tail. In vivo metrics, such as activation of LECs, number of new lymphatic vessels, and sprouting, mirror those most used in vitro, with the addition of lymphatic vessel hyperplasia and drainage. The impacts of lymphangiogenesis vary by context of tissue and pathology. Therapeutic targeting of lymphangiogenesis can have paradoxical effects depending on the pathology including lymphedema, cancer, organ transplant, and inflammation. In this review, we describe and compare lymphangiogenic outcomes and metrics between in vitro and in vivo studies, specifically reviewing only those publications in which both testing formats are used. We find that in vitro studies correlate well with in vivo in wound healing and development, but not in the reproductive tract or the complex tumor microenvironment. Considerations for improving in vitro models are to increase complexity with perfusable microfluidic devices, co-cultures with tissue-specific support cells, the inclusion of fluid flow, and pairing in vitro models of differing complexities. We believe that these changes would strengthen the correlation between in vitro and in vivo outcomes, giving more insight into lymphangiogenesis in healthy and pathological states.

Abstract
Cardiac fibrosis plays an indispensable role in cardiac tissue homeostasis and repair after myocardial infarction (MI). The cardiac fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation and extracellular matrix collagen deposition are the hallmarks of cardiac fibrosis, which are modulated by multiple signaling pathways and various types of cells in time-dependent manners. Our understanding of the development of cardiac fibrosis after MI has evolved in basic and clinical researches, and the regulation of fibrotic remodeling may facilitate novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, and finally improve outcomes. Here, we aim to elaborate pathophysiology, examination and intervention of cardiac fibrosis after MI.

Abstract
Budesonide (Bud), one of the most widely used lung medicines, is currently used as a repurposing medicine for immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) treatment. The progression of IgAN is related to inflammation involving macrophages and podocytes. The present study aimed to explore the effects of Bud on classically activated (M1)/alternatively activated (M2) macrophage polarization and podocyte injury under lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory stress in vitro. Anti-inflammatory bioinformation of Bud was identified based on the Gene Expression Omnibus database. RAW264.7 cells were treated with normal medium, LPS, curcumin (Cur, positive control), or Bud 5, 10, or 20 µM. The expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), TNF-α, mannose receptor (CD206) and arginase (Arg)-1 were quantified by western blotting. The collected supernatants from macrophages were termed (Nor)MS, (LPS)MS, (Cur)MS and (Bud)MS. The TNF-α, IL-1β and nitric oxide (NO) levels in the supernatants were evaluated by ELISA and Griess assay. The podocytes were cultured in different supernatants and their survival rates were assessed by bromodeoxyuridine assay. TNF signaling is an important pathway by which Bud exerts anti-inflammatory activities. Compared with the LPS group, 5, 10 and 20 µM Bud significantly increased Arg-1 and decreased iNOS expression (Six: P<0.05) and 20 µM Bud significantly increased Arg-1 and CD206 and decreased iNOS and TNF-α expression (Four: P<0.05). Cur significantly decreased iNOS and TNF-α expression (Two: P<0.05). Compared with LPS, 5, 10 and 20 µM Bud and Cur significantly decreased TNF-α, IL-1β and NO levels (All: P<0.05). The podocyte survival rates of (Bud)MS and (Cur)MS were significantly higher than those of (LPS)MS (Four: P<0.05). The protective effect of Bud on podocyte injury is related to its modulation of M1/M2 polarization.
