Abstract
Pyroptosis, a programmed cell death marked by lytic and inflammatory characteristics, plays a crucial role in non‑infectious inflammation‑related diseases but can lead to detrimental outcomes when dysregulated. Stem cells have emerged as key players in modulating pyroptosis through paracrine signaling, offering a novel avenue for tissue repair and regeneration. The present review delved into previous studies elucidating the intricate interplay between stem cells and pyroptosis, emphasizing the potential of stem cell‑based therapies in regulating pyroptotic pathways. The exploration of this dynamic interaction holds promise for developing strategies to harness stem cells for effective tissue repair and regeneration in the context of inflammation‑related diseases.

Abstract
Neutrophils, the most abundant immune cells in human blood, play a fundamental role in host defense against invading pathogens and tissue injury. Neutrophils carry potentially lethal weaponry to the affected site. Inadvertent and perpetual neutrophil activation could lead to nonresolving inflammation and tissue damage, a unifying mechanism of many common diseases. The prevailing view emphasizes the dichotomy of their function, host defense versus tissue damage. However, tissue injury may also persist during neutropenia, which is associated with disease severity and poor outcome. Numerous studies highlight neutrophil phenotypic heterogeneity and functional versatility, indicating that neutrophils play more complex roles than previously thought. Emerging evidence indicates that neutrophils actively orchestrate resolution of inflammation and tissue repair and facilitate return to homeostasis. Thus, neutrophils mobilize multiple mechanisms to limit the inflammatory reaction, assure debris removal, matrix remodeling, cytokine scavenging, macrophage reprogramming, and angiogenesis. In this review, we will summarize the homeostatic and tissue-reparative functions and mechanisms of neutrophils across organs. We will also discuss how the healing power of neutrophils might be harnessed to develop novel resolution and repair-promoting therapies while maintaining their defense functions.

Abstract
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an autoimmune disease affecting large vessels in patients over 50 years old. It is an exemplary model of a classic inflammatory disorder with IL-6 playing the leading role. The main comorbidities that may appear acutely or chronically are vascular occlusion leading to blindness and thoracic aorta aneurysm formation, respectively. The tissue inflammatory bulk is expressed as acute or chronic delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, the latter being apparent by giant cell formation. The activated monocytes/macrophages are associated with pronounced Th1 and Th17 responses. B-cells and neutrophils also participate in the inflammatory lesion. However, the exact order of appearance and mechanistic interactions between cells are hindered by the lack of cellular and molecular information from early disease stages and accurate experimental models. Recently, senescent cells and neutrophil extracellular traps have been described in tissue lesions. These structures can remain in tissues for a prolonged period, potentially favoring inflammatory responses and tissue remodeling. In this review, current advances in GCA pathogenesis are discussed in different inflammatory phases. Through the description of these-often overlapping-phases, cells, molecules, and small lipid mediators with pathogenetic potential are described.

Abstract
Objective: Electrical Stimulation Therapy (EST) shows promise for the purpose of accelerating wound healing, but the right electrical stimulation parameters and its mode of action remain unclear. We aim to evaluate the effect of a new EST clinical device on epidermal repair using an in vitro human skin wound model. Approach: We scaled up a well-established 3D De-Epidermized Dermis-Human Skin Equivalent (DED-HSE) wound model to fit a clinically used device that delivers preprogrammed microcurrent EST. The impact of EST on re-epithelialization of 4-mm circular epidermal wounds was assessed after 4 and 7 days of treatment, using metabolic activity assay, immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining, and RNA in situ hybridization. Results: EST was successfully applied to the wounded in vitro skin model. Large DED-HSEs retained good cell viability for up to 7 days of EST treatment. Excisional wounds subjected to EST for 4 days consistently exhibited faster closure (mean 65.8%, n = 9) compared to untreated wounds (mean 49.7%, n = 9) (p < 0.05). Wounds exposed to EST exhibited significantly longer epithelial tongues (re-epithelialization mean 50.3%, n = 9) than untreated wounds (mean 26.2%, n = 9) (p < 0.001), suggesting faster keratinocyte migration and proliferation. Increased MMP1 transcription (p < 0.05) in ES-treated periwound suggests a mechanism for enhanced keratinocyte migration. IHC staining showed advanced epidermal proliferation (p63) and differentiation (K10) in EST-exposed wounds (n = 15), as well as stronger attachment of the newly formed epidermis into the dermis compared to untreated controls (n = 15) (p < 0.001). Innovation: We present a novel approach to assess an EST clinical device designed to stimulate wound healing. Using a scaled-up 3D human skin wound model, we could demonstrate the positive effect of EST on epithelial cell responses and shed light on possible mechanism. Conclusion: Our study provides experimental evidence that microcurrent therapy accelerates wound closure and improves the quantity and quality of re-epithelialization.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: We sought to identify potential drivers behind resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) induced reperfusion coagulopathy using novel proteomic methods. Background: Coagulopathy associated with REBOA is poorly defined. The REBOA Zone 1 provokes hepatic and intestinal ischemia that may alter coagulation factor production and lead to molecular pathway alterations that compromises hemostasis. We hypothesized that REBOA Zone 1 would lead to reperfusion coagulopathy driven by mediators of fibrinolysis, loss of coagulation factors, and potential endothelial dysfunction. Methods: Yorkshire swine were subjected to a polytrauma injury (blast traumatic brain injury, tissue injury, and hemorrhagic shock). Pigs were randomized to observation only (controls, n = 6) or to 30 min of REBOA Zone 1 (n = 6) or REBOA Zone 3 (n = 4) as part of their resuscitation. Thromboelastography was used to detect coagulopathy. ELISA assays and mass spectrometry proteomics were used to measure plasma protein levels related to coagulation and systemic inflammation. Results: After the polytrauma phase, balloon deflation of REBOA Zone 1 was associated with significant hyperfibrinolysis (TEG results: REBOA Zone 1 35.50% versus control 9.5% vs. Zone 3 2.4%, P < 0.05). In the proteomics and ELISA results, REBOA Zone 1 was associated with significant decreases in coagulation factor XI and coagulation factor II, and significant elevations of active tissue plasminogen activator, plasmin-antiplasmin complex complexes, and syndecan-1 (P < 0.05). Conclusion: REBOA Zone 1 alters circulating mediators of clot formation, clot lysis, and increases plasma levels of known markers of endotheliopathy, leading to a reperfusion-induced coagulopathy compared with REBOA Zone 3 and no REBOA.

Abstract
Dysregulation of iron metabolism has been associated with impaired chronic wound healing. However, changes in iron metabolism have yet to be reported in pressure injuries, a type of chronic wound. In this study, we aimed to investigate changes in iron metabolism and associated regulatory mechanisms in pressure injuries. We collected tissue biopsies and data from 20 consenting stage IV-pressure injuries patients and 5 non-pressure injuries patients hospitalised at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between March 2021 and June 2021. In addition, we measured the iron content by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and Prussian blue staining in deep tissue pressure injury mouse models. An Enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay measured the expression of ferritin, ferroportin-1 and transferrin. Immunofluorescence staining, high-throughput transcriptome sequencing, Western blot and RT-qPCR further analysed the fundamental mechanisms regulating iron metabolism. In this study, we observed numerous inflammatory cells infiltrating the marginal tissues of stage IV pressure injury patients and in deep tissue pressure injury models. The expression levels of pro-inflammatory factors, such as inducible nitric oxide synthase and interleukin-6, were significantly increased (p < 0.05). The iron level was proportional to the degree of progression, with the most significant change appearing on the third day in deep tissue pressure injury models (p < 0.05). Enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay results suggested abnormal gene expression was related to iron metabolism, including a substantial increase in ferritin and a significant decrease in the expression of ferroportin-1 (p < 0.05). In addition, immunofluorescence staining and Western blot showed that the expression of macrophage membrane receptor CD163 was abnormally elevated (p < 0.05). Both high-throughput transcriptome sequencing and qRT-PCR results suggested aberrant expression of the CD163/Homx-1-mediated signalling pathway. Dysfunctional iron metabolism was suggested to be related to the aberrant CD163/Homx-1 signalling pathway in deep tissue pressure injury models.

Abstract
It is unclear how the immune system initiates effective tissue repair responses without also simultaneously activating adaptive immune responses to self-antigens released by damaged or necrotic cells. We studied the role of repetitive adrenergic mediated stress on cardiac injury wild-type and programmed death-1-deficient (PD-1-/-) mice treated with 3 intraperitoneal low doses of isoproterenol followed by an intraperitoneal injection of high-dose ISO 7 days later (ISOprimed/ISOinjury). Repetitive adrenergic stress in ISOprimed/ISOinjury PD-1-/- mice resulted in a persistent dysregulated myocardial inflammatory response characterized by the expansion of autoreactive effector CD8+ T cells, increased cardiac hypertrophy, mild left ventricular dysfunction, and increased lethality when compared with ISOprimed/ISOinjury wild-type mice.

Abstract
Local immune activation at mucosal surfaces, mediated by mucosal lymphoid tissues, is vital for effective immune responses against pathogens. While pathogens like severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can spread to multiple organs, patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) primarily experience inflammation and damage in their lungs. To investigate this apparent organ-specific immune response, we develop an analytical framework that recognizes the significance of mucosal lymphoid tissues. This framework combines histology, immunofluorescence, spatial transcript profiling, and mathematical modeling to identify cellular and gene expression differences between the lymphoid tissues of the lung and the gut and predict the determinants of those differences. Our findings indicate that mucosal lymphoid tissues are pivotal in organ-specific immune response to SARS-CoV-2, mediating local inflammation and tissue damage and contributing to immune dysfunction. The framework developed here has potential utility in the study of long COVID and may streamline biomarker discovery and treatment design for diseases with differential pathologies at the organ level.

Abstract
Whereas the innate immune response to an initial episode of cardiac injury has been studied extensively, the response of the immune system to recurrent cardiac tissue injury is not well understood. Specifically, it is not known whether the immune system adapts to the initial episode of cardiac injury and whether any adaptations that occur lead to immune cell hypo-responsiveness or, alternatively, immune cell hyper-responsiveness. Here, we studied the role of adrenergic-mediated stress using a simple model of reversible stress-induced cardiomyopathy, and show that isoproterenol-induced tissue injury and inflammation are sufficient to protect the heart from the myopathic effects of a subsequent exposure to isoproterenol. Remarkably, pharmacological depletion of macrophages partially attenuated the isoproterenol-induced cytoprotective response, suggesting that immune-mediated tissue repair mechanisms confer tolerance to subsequent tissue damage.

Abstract
Equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) poses a global threat to equines. The anticancer agent berbamine (BBM), a bioactive alkaloid, has been shown to inhibit viral infection. However, whether BBM can inhibit EHV-1 infection remains unclear. This study investigated the effect of BBM treatment on EHV-1 infection. Quantitative PCR (qPCR), immunoblotting, the Reed-Muench method, and pathological examination were employed to study the ability of BBM to inhibit EHV-1 infection, viral DNA replication, viral protein production, virion secretion, and cytopathogenesis in vitro and in vivo. The in vitro studies revealed that 10 μM BBM effectively suppressed EHV-1 viral entry into cells, viral DNA replication, and virion secretion, while the in vivo studies verified the ability of BBM to suppress EHV-1-induced damage of brain and lung tissues and animal mortality. These findings strongly suggest that BBM could be a serious contender in the therapeutic control of EHV-1 infection of equines.

Abstract
Pathogen infection and tissue injury are universal insults that disrupt homeostasis. Innate immunity senses microbial infections and induces cytokines/chemokines to activate resistance mechanisms. Here, we show that, in contrast to most pathogen-induced cytokines, interleukin-24 (IL-24) is predominately induced by barrier epithelial progenitors after tissue injury and is independent of microbiome or adaptive immunity. Moreover, Il24 ablation in mice impedes not only epidermal proliferation and re-epithelialization but also capillary and fibroblast regeneration within the dermal wound bed. Conversely, ectopic IL-24 induction in the homeostatic epidermis triggers global epithelial-mesenchymal tissue repair responses. Mechanistically, Il24 expression depends upon both epithelial IL24-receptor/STAT3 signaling and hypoxia-stabilized HIF1α, which converge following injury to trigger autocrine and paracrine signaling involving IL-24-mediated receptor signaling and metabolic regulation. Thus, parallel to innate immune sensing of pathogens to resolve infections, epithelial stem cells sense injury signals to orchestrate IL-24-mediated tissue repair.

Abstract
Type 2 immunity mediates protective responses to helminths and pathological responses to allergens, but it also has broad roles in the maintenance of tissue integrity, including wound repair. Type 2 cytokines are known to promote fibrosis, an overzealous repair response, but their contribution to healthy wound repair is less well understood. This review discusses the evidence that the canonical type 2 cytokines, IL-4 and IL-13, are integral to the tissue repair process through two main pathways. First, essential for the progression of effective tissue repair, IL-4 and IL-13 suppress the initial inflammatory response to injury. Second, these cytokines regulate how the extracellular matrix is modified, broken down, and rebuilt for effective repair. IL-4 and/or IL-13 amplifies multiple aspects of the tissue repair response, but many of these pathways are highly redundant and can be induced by other signals. Therefore, the exact contribution of IL-4Rα signaling remains difficult to unravel.

Abstract
We hypothesized that a system that possesses the capacity for ongoing maintenance of its tissues will necessarily also have the capacity to self-heal following a perturbation. We used an agent-based model of tissue maintenance to investigate this idea, and in particular to determine the extent to which the current state of the tissue must influence cell behavior in order for tissue maintenance and self-healing to be stable. We show that a mean level of tissue density is robustly maintained when catabolic agents digest tissue at a rate proportional to local tissue density, but that the spatial heterogeneity of the tissue at homeostasis increases with the rate at which tissue is digested. The rate of self-healing is also increased by increasing either the amount of tissue removed or deposited at each time step by catabolic or anabolic agents, respectively, and by increasing the density of both agent types on the tissue. We also found that tissue maintenance and self-healing are stable with an alternate rule in which cells move preferentially to tissue regions of low density. The most basic form of self-healing can thus be achieved with cells that follow very simple rules of behavior, provided these rules are based in some way on the current state of the local tissue. Straightforward mechanisms can accelerate the rate of self-healing, as might be beneficial to the organism.

Abstract
Despite the many advantages of isoproterenol (Iso)-induced models of cardiomyopathy, the extant literature suggests that the reproducibility of the Iso-induced stress cardiomyopathy phenotype varies considerably depending on the dose of Iso used, the mode of administration of Iso (subcutaneous vs. intraperitoneal), and the species of the animal that is being studied. Recently, we have shown that a single injection of Iso into female C57BL/6J mice provokes transient myocardial injury that is characterized by a brisk release of troponin I within 1 h, as well as a self-limited myocardial inflammatory response that is associated with increased myocardial tissue edema, inferoapical regional left ventricular (LV) wall motion abnormalities, and a transient decrease in global LV function, which were completely recovered by day 7 after the Iso injection (i.e., stress-induced reversible cardiomyopathy). Here we expand upon this initial report in this model by demonstrating important sexually dimorphic differences in the response to Iso-induced tissue injury, the ensuing myocardial inflammatory response, and changes in LV structure and function. We also provide information with respect to enhancing the reproducibility in this model by optimizing animal welfare during the procedure. The acute Iso-induced myocardial injury model provides a low-cost, relatively high-throughput small-animal model that mimics human disease (e.g., Takotsubo cardiomyopathy). Given that the model can be performed in different genetic backgrounds, as well as different experimental conditions, the acute Iso injury model should provide the cardiovascular community with a valuable nonsurgical animal model for understanding the myocardial response to tissue injury.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The present study highlights the importance of sexual dimorphism with respect to isoproterenol injury, as well as the importance of animal handling and welfare to obtain reproducible results from investigator to investigator. Based on serial observations of animal recovery (locomotor activity and grooming behavior), troponin I release, and inflammation, we identified that the method used to restrain the mice for the intraperitoneal injection was the single greatest source of variability in this model.

Abstract
In the last few decades, the practical use of stem cells (SCs) in the clinic has attracted significant attention in the regenerative medicine due to the ability of these cells to proliferate and differentiate into other cell types. However, recent findings have demonstrated that the therapeutic capacity of SCs may also be mediated by their ability to secrete biologically active factors, including extracellular vesicles (EVs). Such submicron circular membrane-enveloped vesicles may be released from the cell surface and harbour bioactive cargo in the form of proteins, lipids, mRNA, miRNA, and other regulatory factors. Notably, growing evidence has indicated that EVs may transfer their bioactive content into recipient cells and greatly modulate their functional fate. Thus, they have been recently envisioned as a new class of paracrine factors in cell-to-cell communication. Importantly, EVs may modulate the activity of immune system, playing an important role in the regulation of inflammation, exhibiting broad spectrum of the immunomodulatory activity that promotes the transition from pro-inflammatory to pro-regenerative environment in the site of tissue injury. Consequently, growing interest is placed on attempts to utilize EVs in clinical applications of inflammatory-related dysfunctions as potential next-generation therapeutic factors, alternative to cell-based approaches. In this review we will discuss the current knowledge on the biological properties of SC-derived EVs, with special focus on their role in the regulation of inflammatory response. We will also address recent findings on the immunomodulatory and pro-regenerative activity of EVs in several disease models, including in vitro and in vivo preclinical, as well as clinical studies. Finally, we will highlight the current perspectives and future challenges of emerging EV-based therapeutic strategies of inflammation-related diseases treatment.

Abstract
The process of tissue damage, repair, and regeneration in the skeletal muscle system involves complex inflammatory processes. Factors released in the inflammatory microenvironment can affect the phenotypic changes of macrophages, thereby changing the inflammatory process, making macrophages an important target for tissue repair treatment. Mesenchymal stem cells exert anti-inflammatory effects by regulating immune cells. In particular, exosomes secreted by mesenchymal stem cells have become a new cell-free treatment strategy due to their low tumorigenicity and immunogenicity. This article focuses on the mechanism of the effect of exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells on the phenotype of macrophages after skeletal muscle system injury and explores the possible mechanism of macrophages as potential therapeutic targets after tissue injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is accompanied by both gray and white matter differences in brain areas that regulate autonomic, cognitive, and mood functions, which are deficient in the condition. Such tissue changes have been examined through diffusion tensor and diffusion kurtosis imaging-based procedures. However, poor in-plane spatial resolution of these techniques precludes precise determination of the extent of tissue injury. Tissue texture maps derived from the ratio of T1-weighted and T2-weighted images can provide more adequate in-plane assessment of brain tissue differences. OBJECTIVES To examine brain tissue integrity in recently diagnosed, treatment-naïve OSA subjects, relative to age- and sex-comparable control subjects using T1-weighted and T2-weighted images. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. METHODS We examined the extent of tissue changes in 106 OSA over 115 control subjects using high-resolution T1- and T2-weighted images collected from a 3.0-Tesla scanner (analysis of covariance; covariates: age, sex, body-mass-index, Pittsburgh sleep quality index, Epworth sleepiness scale, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Beck Depression Inventory II; false discovery rate corrected; p < 0.01). RESULTS OSA subjects showed significantly lowered tissue integrity in several brain regions, including the frontal, cingulate and insular cortices, cingulum bundle, thalamus, corpus callosum, caudate and putamen, pons, temporal, occipital, and parietal sites, cerebellar peduncles, and medial medullary sites, compared with controls. CONCLUSION OSA subjects show widespread lowered tissue integrity in autonomic, mood, and cognitive control sites over healthy controls. The pathological processes contributing to the alterations may include repetitive hypoxic and hypercarbic processes and excitotoxic injury, leading to altered brain tissue integrity in OSA.

Abstract
The role of immune checkpoints in the setting of tissue injury remains unknown. Using an experimental model of isoproterenol (ISO)-induced stress cardiomyopathy, we show that ISO-induced myocardial injury provokes tissue-autonomous up-regulation of the programmed death-1 (PD-1):programmed death ligand (PD-L) axis in cardiac resident innate immune cells and T cells. PD-1 signaling was responsible for modulating the acute inflammatory response, as well as normalization of impaired left ventricular structure and function after ISO injection. Necrotic cardiac extracts were sufficient to increase the expression of PD-1 in macrophages and T cells in vitro. Viewed together these studies suggest that the PD-1:PD-L signaling axis regulates immune responses to cardiac tissue injury and is important for restoring myocardial homeostasis.

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is one of the most abundantly expressed proteins in neutrophils. It serves as a critical component of the antimicrobial defense system, facilitating microbial killing via generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Interestingly, emerging evidence indicates that in addition to the well-recognized canonical antimicrobial function of MPO, it can directly or indirectly impact immune cells and tissue responses in homeostatic and disease states. Here, we highlight the emerging non-canonical functions of MPO, including its impact on neutrophil longevity, activation and trafficking in inflammation, its interactions with other immune cells, and how these interactions shape disease outcomes. We further discuss MPO interactions with barrier forming endothelial and epithelial cells, specialized cells of the central nervous system (CNS) and its involvement in cancer progression. Such diverse function and the MPO association with numerous inflammatory disorders make it an attractive target for therapies aimed at resolving inflammation and limiting inflammation-associated tissue damage. However, while considering MPO inhibition as a potential therapy, one must account for the diverse impact of MPO activity on various cellular compartments both in health and disease.

Abstract
D-dimer is an established biomarker of thromboembolism and severity in COVID-19. We and others have recently reported the dysregulation of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), FXIII, fibrinolytic pathway, inflammatory markers, and tissue injury markers, particularly in severe COVID-19. However, association of these markers with thromboembolism in COVID-19 remains elusive. The correlation analyses between these markers in patients with moderate (non-ICU) and severe COVID-19 (ICU) were performed to delineate the potential pathomechanisms and impact of thromboembolism. We observe a negative correlation of plasma TFPI (r2 = 0.148, P = 0.035), FXIII (r2 = 0.242, P = 0.006), and plasminogen (r2 = 0.27, P = 0.003) with D-dimer, a biomarker of thromboembolism, levels in these patients. Further analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between fibrinolytic markers tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) (r2 = 0.584, P < 0.0001). Interestingly, a significant positive correlation of PAI-1, but not tPA, was observed with platelets and endothelial cells dysfunction markers P-selectin (r2 = 0.184, P = 0.01) and soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40 L) (r2 = 0.163, P = 0.02). Moreover, calprotectin (S100A8/A9) and cystatin C (CST3), previously linked with thromboembolism, exhibited positive correlations with each other (r2 = 0.339, P = 0.0007) and with the level of D-dimer independently in COVID-19. Finally, the tissue injury marker myoglobin demonstrated a strong positive correlation with D-dimer (r2 = 0.408, P = 0.0001). Taken together, inverse correlations of TFPI and FXIII with D-dimer suggest the TF pathway activation and aberrant fibrin polymerization in COVID-19 patients. The elevated level of PAI-1 is potentially contributed by activated platelets and endothelial cells. S100A8/A9 may also play roles in impaired fibrinolysis and thromboembolism, in part, through regulating the CST3. These findings strengthen the understanding of thromboembolism and tissue injury and may help in better management of thromboembolic complications in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
Therapy with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is promising in many diseases. Evaluation of their efficacy depends on adequate follow-up of MSCs after transplantation. Several studies have shown that MSCs can be labeled and subsequently visualized with magnetic nanoparticles (NPs). We investigated the homing of MSCs labeled with magnetic cobalt ferrite NPs in experimentally induced acute kidney injury in mice. To explore the homing of MSCs after systemic infusion into mice, we developed a pre-infusion strategy for optimal tracing and identification of MSCs with polyacrylic acid-coated cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) NPs by light and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in various organs of mice with cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury and control mice. By correlative microscopy, we detected MSCs labeled with NPs in the lungs, spleen, kidney, and intestine of cisplatin-treated mice and in the lungs and spleen of control mice. Our results confirm that labeling MSCs with metal NPs did not affect the ultrastructure of MSCs and their ability to settle in various organs. This study demonstrates the usefulness of cobalt ferrite NPs in ex vivo visualization of MSCs and offers correlative microscopy as a useful method in routine histopathology laboratories for tracing MSCs in paraffin-embedded tissue.

Abstract
Regulation of innate inflammation is critical for maintaining tissue homeostasis and barrier function, especially in those interfacing the external environments such as the skin and cornea. Expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines by injured tissues has been shown to exacerbate the inflammatory cascade, causing tissue damage. Interleukin 36, a subfamily of the IL-1 superfamily, consists of three pro-inflammatory agonists-IL36α, IL36β, and IL36γ and an IL36 receptor antagonist (IL36Ra). The current investigation, for the first time, reports that IL36γ is the primary agonist expressed by the corneal epithelium, which is significantly upregulated following corneal injury. The function of IL36γ on non-immune cells, in addition to innate inflammatory cells, in regulating tissue homeostasis has not been well investigated. Using a loss-of-function approach via neutralizing antibody treatment, our data demonstrate that blocking endogenously expressed IL36γ in epithelial cells promotes rapid re-epithelialization in in vitro wound closure assay. Finally, by utilizing a naturally occurring antagonist IL36Ra in a well-established murine model of ocular injury, our study demonstrates that inhibition of IL36γ accelerates epithelial regeneration and suppresses tissue inflammation. Given rapid wound healing is critical for re-establishing normal tissue structure and function, our investigation on the function of IL36γ provides evidence for the development of novel IL36γ-targeting strategies to promote tissue repair.

Abstract
The wide anatomical distribution of macrophages and their vast array of functions match various polarization states and their involvement in homeostasis and disease. The confluence of different cellular signaling networks, including direct involvement in inflammation, at the doorstep of the transcription factor Nuclear Factor- erythroid (NF-E2) p45-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activation raises the importance of deciphering the molecular circuitry at the background of multiple-discrete and antagonistic yet flexible and contextual pathways. While we primarily focus on wound healing and repair mechanisms that are affected in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), we strive to explore the striking similarities and differences in molecular events including inflammation, angiogenesis, and fibrosis during tissue injury and wound persistence that accumulates pro-inflammatory senescent macrophages, as a means to identify possible targets or cellular mediators to lessen DFU disease burden. In addition, the role of iron in the modulation of Nrf2 response in macrophages is crucial and reviewed here. Targeted approaches, unlike conventional treatments, in DFU management will require the review and re-assessment of mediators with relevance to other pathological conditions.

Abstract
Chronic pain development is a frequent outcome of severe stressor exposure, with or without tissue injury. Enduring stress-induced hyperalgesia (ESIH) is believed to play a central role, but the precise mechanisms mediating the development of chronic post-traumatic pain, and the time-dependency of these mechanisms, remain poorly understood. Clinical and preclinical data suggest that the inhibition of FK506-binding protein 51 (FKBP51), a key stress system regulator, might prevent ESIH. We evaluated whether peritraumatic inhibition of FKBP51 in an animal model of traumatic stress exposure, the single prolonged stress (SPS) model, reversed ESIH evaluated via daily mechanical von Frey testing. FKBP51 inhibition was achieved using SAFit2, a potent and specific small molecule inhibitor of FKBP51, administered to male and female Sprague-Dawley rats via intraperitoneal injection. To assess timing effects, FKBP51 was administered at different times relative to stress (SPS) exposure. SAFit2 administration immediately after SPS produced a complete reversal in ESIH lasting >7 days. In contrast, SAFit2 administration 72 hours following SPS produced only temporary hyperalgesia reversal, and administration 120h following SPS had no effect. Similarly, animals undergoing SPS together with tissue injury (plantar incision) receiving SAFit2 immediately post-surgery developed acute hyperalgesia but recovered by 4 days and did not develop ESIH. These data suggest that: 1) FKBP51 plays an important, time-dependent role in ESIH pathogenesis, 2) time windows of opportunity may exist to prevent ESIH via FKBP51 inhibition after traumatic stress, with or without tissue injury, and 3) the use of inhibitors of specific pathways may provide new insights into chronic post-traumatic pain development. PERSPECTIVE: The current work adds to a growing body of literature indicating that FKBP51 inhibition is a highly promising potential treatment strategy for reducing hyperalgesia. In the case of post-traumatic chronic pain, we show that such a treatment strategy would be particularly impactful if administered early after traumatic stress exposure.

Abstract
Peritoneal resident macrophages (PRMs) have been a prominent topic in the research field of immunology due to their critical roles in immune surveillance in the peritoneal cavity. PRMs initially develop from embryonic progenitor cells and are replenished by bone marrow origin monocytes during inflammation and aging. Furthermore, PRMs have been shown to crosstalk with other cells in the peritoneal cavity to control the immune response during infection, injury, and tumorigenesis. With the advance in genetic studies, GATA-binding factor 6 (GATA6) has been identified as a lineage determining transcription factor of PRMs controlling the phenotypic and functional features of PRMs. Here, we review recent advances in the developmental origin, the phenotypic identity, and functions of PRMs, emphasizing the role of GATA6 in the pathobiology of PRMs in host defense, tissue repairing, and peritoneal tumorigenesis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fab antivenom (FabAV) halts progression of tissue injury and improves recovery in copperhead snakebite. It is unknown if F(ab')2AV does as well. The objective of this study was to compare control of tissue injury in copperhead snakebite patients treated with F(ab')2AV versus FabAV. METHODS We performed a post hoc analysis of copperhead envenomated patients in a clinical trial comparing F(ab')2AV to FabAV. The outcomes for this analysis are the number of repeat doses required to obtain initial control, the number of patients requiring unscheduled doses during maintenance, and the time from antivenom administration to initial control. RESULTS Twenty-one (13 F(ab')2AV, 8 FabAV) were copperhead patients. Median age was 46 years with a male predominance. Baseline severity was similar. One (8%) F(ab')2AV and 2(25%) FabAV patients required repeat initial dosing, difference = 17%, (95%CI -18, 57%). One (8%) F(ab')2AV and 1(13%) FabAV patients required additional doses after maintenance, difference = 5%, (95%CI -27, 45%). Median time to initial control was 2.7 range (2.0, 9.3) hours and 3.5 range (2.0, 7.4) for F(ab')2AV and FabAV respectively, difference -0.8 h (95% CI -2.6, 0.9). CONCLUSIONS This exploratory analysis suggests that the available measures of the control of venom-induced tissue injury are similar between antivenom subgroups.

Abstract
Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation is a key feature in sepsis. The aim of the present study was to examine the role of the actin cytoskeleton in regulating the expulsion of NETs. Actin-related protein 2/3 (Arp 2/3) complex is an important regulator of F-actin polymerization. Co-incubation with CK666, a specific Arp 2/3 inhibitor, decreased PMA-induced NET formation in vitro. CK666 not only abolished F-actin polymerization but also caused intracellular retention of NETs. Inhibition of Arp 2/3 reduced NET formation on circulating neutrophils and in the bronchoalveolar space in mice undergoing cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Notably, treatment with CK666 attenuated CLP-induced neutrophil recruitment, edema formation and tissue damage in the lungs. Moreover, Arp 2/3 inhibition decreased levels of CXCL-1 and interleukin-6 in the lung and plasma of septic animals. Taken together, this study shows that expulsion of NETs is regulated by the actin cytoskeleton and that inhibition of Arp 2/3-dependent F-actin polymerization not only decrease NET formation but also protect against pathological inflammation and tissue damage in septic lung injury. Thus, we suggest that targeting NET release is a novel and useful way to ameliorate lung damage in abdominal sepsis.

Abstract
Background Hepatic ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury is commonly associated with surgical liver resection or transplantation, and represents a major cause of liver damage and graft failure. Currently, there are no effective therapies to prevent hepatic I/R injury other than ischemic preconditioning and some preventative strategies. Previously, we have revealed the anti-inflammatory activity of a sweat gland-derived peptide, dermcidin (DCD), in macrophage/monocyte cultures. Here, we sought to explore its therapeutic potential and protective mechanisms in a murine model of hepatic I/R. Methods Male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to hepatic ischemia by clamping the hepatic artery and portal vein for 60 min, which was then removed to initiate reperfusion. At the beginning of reperfusion, 0.2 ml saline control or solution of DCD (0.5 mg/kg BW) or DCD-C34S analog (0.25 or 0.5 mg/kg BW) containing a Cys (C)→Ser (S) substitution at residue 34 was injected via the internal jugular vein. For survival experiments, mice were subjected to additional resection to remove non-ischemic liver lobes, and animal survival was monitored for 10 days. For mechanistic studies, blood and tissue samples were collected at 24 h after the onset of reperfusion, and subjected to measurements of various markers of inflammation and tissue injury by real-time RT-PCR, immunoassays, and histological analysis. Results Recombinant DCD or DCD-C34S analog conferred a significant protection against lethal hepatic I/R when given intravenously at the beginning of reperfusion. This protection was associated with a significant reduction in hepatic injury, neutrophilic CXC chemokine (Mip-2) expression, neutrophil infiltration, and associated inflammation. Furthermore, the administration of DCD also resulted in a significant attenuation of remote lung inflammatory injury. Mechanistically, DCD interacted with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a key regulator of liver inflammation, and significantly inhibited hepatic I/R-induced phosphorylation of EGFR as well as a downstream signaling molecule, protein kinase B (AKT). The suppression of EGFR expression by transducing Egfr-specific shRNA plasmid into macrophages abrogated the DCD-mediated inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production induced by a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP), cold-inducible RNA-binding protein, CIRP. Conclusions The present study suggests that human DCD and its analog may be developed as novel therapeutics to attenuate hepatic I/R-induced inflammatory injury possibly by impairing EGFR signaling.

Abstract
At-risk alcohol use is a major contributor to the global health care burden and leads to preventable deaths and diseases including alcohol addiction, alcoholic liver disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, traumatic injuries, gastrointestinal diseases, cancers, and fetal alcohol syndrome. Excessive and frequent alcohol consumption has increasingly been linked to alcohol-associated tissue injury and pathophysiology, which have significant adverse effects on multiple organ systems. Extensive research in animal and in vitro models has elucidated the salient mechanisms involved in alcohol-induced tissue and organ injury. In some cases, these pathophysiological mechanisms are shared across organ systems. The major alcohol- and alcohol metabolite-mediated mechanisms include oxidative stress, inflammation and immunometabolic dysregulation, gut leak and dysbiosis, cell death, extracellular matrix remodeling, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and epigenomic modifications. These mechanisms are complex and interrelated, and determining the interplay among them will make it possible to identify how they synergistically or additively interact to cause alcohol-mediated multiorgan injury. In this article, we review the current understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms involved in alcohol-induced tissue injury.

Abstract
Despite advances in neonatal care Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC) continues to have a significant mortality and morbidity rate, and with increasing survival of those more immature infants the population at risk of NEC is increasing. Ischaemia, reperfusion, and inflammation underpin diseases affecting intestinal blood flow causing gut injury including Necrotising Enterocolitis. There is increasing interest in tissue biomarkers of gut injury in neonates, particularly those representing changes in intestinal wall barrier and permeability, to determine whether these could be useful biomarkers of gut injury. This article reviews current and newly proposed markers of gut injury, the available literature evidence, recent advances and considers how effective they are in clinical practice. We discuss each biomarker in terms of its effectiveness in predicting NEC onset and diagnosis or predicting NEC severity and then those that will aid in surveillance and identifying those infants are greatest risk of developing NEC.

Abstract
There is no ideal single gut tissue or inflammatory biomarker available to help to try and identify Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC) before its clinical onset. Neonatologists are all too familiar with the devastating consequences of NEC, and despite many advances in neonatal care the mortality and morbidity associated with NEC remains significant. In this article we review Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) as a method of measuring regional gut tissue oxygenation. We discuss its current and potential future applications, including considering its effectiveness as a possible new weapon in the early identification of NEC.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-secreted particles with broad potential to treat tissue injuries by delivering cargo to program target cells. However, improving the yield of functional EVs on a per cell basis remains challenging due to an incomplete understanding of how microenvironmental cues regulate EV secretion at the nanoscale. We show that mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) seeded on engineered hydrogels that mimic the elasticity of soft tissues with a lower integrin ligand density secrete ∼10-fold more EVs per cell than MSCs seeded on a rigid plastic substrate, without compromising their therapeutic activity or cargo to resolve acute lung injury in mice. Mechanistically, intracellular CD63+ multivesicular bodies (MVBs) transport faster within MSCs on softer hydrogels, leading to an increased frequency of MVB fusion with the plasma membrane to secrete more EVs. Actin-related protein 2/3 complex but not myosin-II limits MVB transport and EV secretion from MSCs on hydrogels. The results provide a rational basis for biomaterial design to improve EV secretion while maintaining their functionality.

Abstract
Tissue injury, which often occurs in daily life, remains challenging in clinical medicine. Developing a novel biomaterial with the capability to provide an ideal microenvironment and homeostasis around the wound is highly desirable for effective tissue regenerative medicine. The small intestinal submucosa (SIS) membrane possesses a precise spatial structure with excellent biocompatibility. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can achieve rapid cell proliferation and migration with little immune response by creating a satisfactory microenvironment. In this study, fusion peptide-mediated EVs are able to modify the surface of the SIS membrane via specific combination. In vitro studies prove that modified SIS membranes can promote cell migration and spreading. This phenomenon may be because of the activation of TEADs, which regulate cell behavior. By constructing a rat abdominal wall defect model, it is further demonstrated that the modified SIS membrane is more conducive to tissue regeneration. Collectively, these results suggest that SIS membranes modified by fusion peptide-mediated EVs achieve excellent biofunction and provide promising prospects for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Dynamic regulation of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinase 2 (GRK2) expression restores cellular function by protecting from overstimulation via GPCR and non-GPCR signaling. In the primary afferent neurons, GRK2 negatively regulates nociceptive tone. The present study tested the hypothesis that induction of GRK2 in the primary afferent neurons contributes to the resolution of acute pain after tissue injury. GRK2 expression in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) was analyzed at 1 and 7 days after the incision. Intraperitoneal administration of a GRK2 inhibitor was performed 7 days post-incision in male Sprague-Dawley rats who underwent plantar incisions to analyze the pain-related behavioral effect of the GRK2 inhibitor. Separately, GRK2 expression was analyzed after injecting insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) into the rat hind paw. In addition, an IGF1 receptor (IGF1R) inhibitor was administered in the plantar incision rats to determine its effect on the incision-induced hyperalgesia and GRK2 expression. Plantar incision induced an increase in GRK2 in the DRG at 7 days, but not at 1 day post-incision. Acute hyperalgesia after the plantar incision disappeared by 7 days post-incision. Intraperitoneal injection of the GRK2 inhibitor at this time reinstated mechanical hyperalgesia, although the GRK2 inhibitor did not produce hyperalgesia in naive rats. After the incision, IGF1 expression increased in the paw, but not in the DRG. Intraplantar injection of IGF1 increased GRK2 expression in the ipsilateral DRG. IGF1R inhibitor administration prevented both the induction of GRK2 and resolution of hyperalgesia after the plantar incision. These findings demonstrate that induction of GRK2 expression driven by tissue IGF1 has potent analgesic effects and produces resolution of hyperalgesia after tissue injury. Dysregulation of IGF1-GRK2 signaling could potentially lead to failure of the spontaneous resolution of acute pain and, hence, development of chronic pain after surgery.

Abstract
The future of regenerative medicine relies on our understanding of the mechanistic processes that underlie tissue regeneration, highlighting the need for suitable animal models. For many years, zebrafish has been exploited as an adequate model in the field due to their very high regenerative capabilities. In this organism, regeneration of several tissues, including the caudal fin, is dependent on a robust epimorphic regenerative process, typified by the formation of a blastema, consisting of highly proliferative cells that can regenerate and completely grow the lost limb within a few days. Recent studies have also emphasized the crucial role of distinct macrophage subpopulations in tissue regeneration, contributing to the early phases of inflammation and promoting tissue repair and regeneration in late stages once inflammation is resolved. However, while most studies were conducted under non-infectious conditions, this situation does not necessarily reflect all the complexities of the interactions associated with injury often involving entry of pathogenic microorganisms. There is emerging evidence that the presence of infectious pathogens can largely influence and modulate the host immune response and the regenerative processes, which is sometimes more representative of the true complexities underlying regenerative mechanics. Herein, we present the current knowledge regarding the paths involved in the repair of non-infected and infected wounds using the zebrafish model.

Abstract
Salmonellae are one of the most important foodborne pathogens, which threaten the health of humans and animals severely. Glycyrrhizin (GL) has been proven to exhibit anti-inflammatory and tissue-protective properties. Here, we investigated the effects of GL on tissue injury, inflammatory response, and intestinal dysbiosis in Salmonella Typhimurium-infected mice. Results showed that GL or gentamicin (GM) significantly (P < 0.05) alleviated ST-induced splenomegaly indicated by the decreased spleen index, injury of liver and jejunum indicated by the decreased hepatocytic apoptosis, and the increased jejunal villous height. GL significantly (P < 0.05) increased secretion of inflammatory cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-12p70, IL-6, and IL-10) in spleen and IL-12p40 mRNA expression in liver. Meanwhile, GL or GM pre-infection treatments significantly (P < 0.05) decreased ST-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine (IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-6) expression in both spleen and liver and increased (P < 0.05) anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 secretion in spleen. Furthermore, GL or GM pre-infection treatment also regulates the diversities and compositions of intestinal microbiota and decreased the negative connection among the intestinal microbes in ST-infected mice. The above findings indicate that GL alleviates ST-induced splenomegaly, hepatocytic apoptosis, injury of jejunum and liver, inflammatory response of liver and spleen, and intestinal dysbacteriosis in mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) primarily affects the lungs, but evidence of systemic disease with multi-organ involvement is emerging. Here, we developed a blood test to broadly quantify cell-, tissue-, and organ-specific injury due to COVID-19. METHODS Our test leverages genome-wide methylation profiling of circulating cell-free DNA in plasma. We assessed the utility of this test to identify subjects with severe disease in two independent, longitudinal cohorts of hospitalized patients. Cell-free DNA profiling was performed on 104 plasma samples from 33 COVID-19 patients and compared to samples from patients with other viral infections and healthy controls. FINDINGS We found evidence of injury to the lung and liver and involvement of red blood cell progenitors associated with severe COVID-19. The concentration of cell-free DNA correlated with the World Health Organization (WHO) ordinal scale for disease progression and was significantly increased in patients requiring intubation. CONCLUSIONS This study points to the utility of cell-free DNA as an analyte to monitor and study COVID-19.

Abstract
Loss of lymphocytes, particularly T cell apoptosis, is a central pathological event after severe tissue injury that is associated with increased susceptibility for life-threatening infections. The precise immunological mechanisms leading to T cell death after acute injury are largely unknown. Here, we identified a monocyte-T cell interaction driving bystander cell death of T cells in ischemic stroke and burn injury. Specifically, we found that stroke induced a FasL-expressing monocyte population, which led to extrinsic T cell apoptosis. This phenomenon was driven by AIM2 inflammasome-dependent interleukin-1β (IL-1β) secretion after sensing cell-free DNA. Pharmacological inhibition of this pathway improved T cell survival and reduced post-stroke bacterial infections. As such, this study describes inflammasome-dependent monocyte activation as a previously unstudied cause of T cell death after injury and challenges the current paradigms of post-injury lymphopenia.

Abstract
Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay is a long-established assay used to detect cell death-associated DNA fragmentation (3'-OH DNA termini) by endonucleases. Because these enzymes are particularly active in the kidney, TUNEL is widely used to identify and quantify DNA fragmentation and cell death in cultured kidney cells and animal and human kidneys resulting from toxic or hypoxic injury. The early characterization of TUNEL as an apoptotic assay has led to numerous misinterpretations of the mechanisms of kidney cell injury. Nevertheless, TUNEL is becoming increasingly popular for kidney injury assessment because it can be used universally in cultured and tissue cells and for all mechanisms of cell death. Furthermore, it is sensitive, accurate, quantitative, easily linked to particular cells or tissue compartments, and can be combined with immunohistochemistry to allow reliable identification of cell types or likely mechanisms of cell death. Traditionally, TUNEL analysis has been limited to the presence or absence of a TUNEL signal. However, additional information on the mechanism of cell death can be obtained from the analysis of TUNEL patterns.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To overcome the unfavorable issues associated with conventional anti-adhesive HA/CMC film, we developed an anti-adhesive thermally cross-linked gelatin film. OBJECTIVE We tried to clarify the re-attachability of the film and the required properties concerning the film thickness, stiffness and anti-adhesion effect. METHODS To determine the optimal thickness, 5 kinds of the thickness of gelatin film and the conventional film were analyzed by the tensile test, shearing test, buckling test and tissue injury test. Finally, using the optimal film thickness, we tried to clarify the anti-adhesion effect of the reattached film. RESULTS The tensile and shearing test showed gelatin films ≥30 μm thick had greater tensile strength and a smaller number of film fractures, than the conventional film. The buckling and tissue injury test showed gelatin films ≥60 μm thick had higher buckling strength and worse injury scores than the conventional film. The anti-adhesive effect of re-attached gelatin film using optimal thickness (30-40 μm) found the anti-adhesion score was significantly better than that of the control. CONCLUSIONS Provided it has an optimal thickness, gelatin film can be reattached with enough physical strength not to tear, safety stiffness not to induce tissue injury, and a sufficient anti-adhesion effect.

Abstract
Background and objectives: Kidneys from donation after circulatory death (DCD) are more likely to be declined for transplantation compared with kidneys from donation after brain death (DBD). The aim of this study was to evaluate characteristics in the biopsies of human DCD and DBD kidneys that were declined for transplantation in order to rescue more DCD kidneys. Materials and Methods: Sixty kidney donors (DCD = 36, DBD = 24) were recruited into the study and assessed using donor demographics. Kidney biopsies taken post cold storage were also evaluated for histological damage, inflammation (myeloperoxidase, MPO), von Willebrand factor (vWF) expression, complement 4d (C4d) deposition and complement 3 (C3) activation using H&E and immunohistochemistry staining, and Western blotting. Results: More DBD donors (16/24) had a history of hypertension compared with DCDs (8/36, p = 0.001). The mean warm ischemic time in the DCD kidneys was 12.9 ± 3.9 min. The mean cold ischemic time was not significantly different between the two groups of kidney donors (DBD 33.3 ± 16.7 vs. DCD 28.6 ± 14.1 h, p > 0.05). The score of histological damage and MPO, as well as the reactivity of vWF, C4d and C3, varied between kidneys, but there was no significant difference between the two donor types (p > 0.05). However, vWF reactivity might be an early indicator for loss of tissue integrity, while C4d deposition and activated C3 might be better predictors for histological damage. Conclusions: Similar characteristics of DCD were shown in comparison with DBD kidneys. Importantly, the additional warm ischemic time in DCD appeared to have no further detectable adverse effects on tissue injury, inflammation and complement activation. vWF, C4d and C3 might be potential biomarkers facilitating the evaluation of donor kidneys.

Abstract
Inflammation is usually considered as harmful; however, it is also necessary for tissue recovery after injury. Macrophages exert immune and nonimmune functions throughout this process. During skeletal muscle regeneration, they mount an inflammatory response while exerting trophic roles on muscle and mesenchymal stem cells. Proinflammatory macrophages shift to being anti-inflammatory, triggering the resolution of inflammation. Studies have highlighted that during this shift, a crosstalk ensues, integrating cues for resolution, efferocytosis, cellular metabolism, and signaling pathways. During the restorative phase, macrophages dampen inflammation while promoting stem cell differentiation, angiogenesis, and matrix remodeling. Since blunting the inflammatory phase can be detrimental for muscle regeneration, we suggest that rather than fighting inflammation, it should be allowed to operate and resolve, thus allowing for tissue recovery.

Abstract
C-type lectin-like receptors (CLRs) represent a family of transmembrane pattern recognition receptors, expressed primarily by myeloid cells. They recognize not only pathogen moieties for host defense, but also modified self-antigens such as damage-associated molecular patterns released from dead cells. Upon ligation, CLR signaling leads to the production of inflammatory mediators to shape amplitude, duration and outcome of the immune response. Thus, following excessive injury, dysregulation of these receptors leads to the development of inflammatory diseases. Herein, we will focus on four CLRs of the "Dectin family," shown to decode the immunogenicity of cell death. CLEC9A on dendritic cells links F-actin exposed by dying cells to favor cross-presentation of dead-cell associated antigens to CD8+ T cells. Nevertheless, CLEC9A exerts also feedback mechanisms to temper neutrophil recruitment and prevent additional tissue damage. MINCLE expressed by macrophages binds nuclear SAP130 released by necrotic cells to potentiate pro-inflammatory responses. However, the consequent inflammation can exacerbate pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. Moreover, in a tumor microenvironment, MINCLE induces macrophage-induced immune suppression and cancer progression. Similarly, triggering of LOX-1 by oxidized LDL, amplifies pro-inflammatory response but promotes tumor immune escape and metastasis. Finally, CLEC12A that recognizes monosodium urate crystals formed during cell death, inhibits activating signals to prevent detrimental inflammation. Interestingly, CLEC12A also sustains type-I IFN response to finely tune immune responses in case of viral-induced collateral damage. Therefore, CLRs acting in concert as sensors of injury, could be used in a targeted way to treat numerous diseases such as allergies, obesity, tumors, and autoimmunity.

Abstract
Myticin C is the most studied antimicrobial peptide in the marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. Although it is constitutively expressed in mussel hemocytes and displays antibacterial, antiviral, and chemotactic functions, recent work has suggested that this molecule is mainly activated after tissue injury. Therefore, the main objective of this work was to characterize the hemocytes’ transcriptomic response after a myticin C treatment, in order to understand the molecular changes induced by this cytokine-like molecule. The transcriptome analysis revealed the modulation of genes related to cellular movement, such as myosin, transgelin, and calponin-like proteins, in agreement with results of functional assays, where an implication of myticin C in the in vitro activation of hemocytes and migration was evidenced. This was also observed in vivo after a tissue injury, when hemocytes, with high concentrations of myticin C, migrated to the damaged area to heal the wound. All these properties allowed us to think about the biotechnological application of these molecules as wound healers. Human keratinocytes and larvae zebrafish models were used to confirm this hypothesis. Accelerated regeneration after a wound or tail fin amputation was observed after treatment with the myticin C peptide, supporting the chemotactic and healing activity of myticin C.
