If the input is a question,\n    convert it into a declarative claim.\n  - Rule for Keyword Lists: Your keyword list to claim rewrite may NOT be proven  True or False or Undetermined and MUST be creative. You MUST NOT summarize the keywords. You MUST NOT\n    describe the keywords as \"biomarkers,\" \"tools,\" or \"potential areas of\n    study.\" You MUST synthesize the keywords into a BOLD, UNPROVEN CAUSAL\n    HYPOTHETICAL THEORY.\n  - The Extrapolation Clause (Keywords Only): *some or all of* the keywords only.  novel idea. \n\n2. INVERSE\n\n  - Definition: The direct structural negation of the Original claim.\n  - Rule: Directly negate the primary relationship. Do NOT introduce new\n    variables. Flip the boolean state of the primary verb (e.g., \"promotes\"\n    becomes \"does not promote\").\n\n3. ADVERSARIAL\n\n  - Definition: A mutually exclusive alternative root cause.\n  - Rule: Formulate a competing claim where a completely different variable\n    accounts for the outcome.\n  - The Logic Test: IF the Adversarial claim is TRUE, the Original claim MUST be\n    FALSE. It must represent a conflict of causality.\n\n4. INVERSE ADVERSARIAL\n\n  - Definition: A foundational prerequisite or mandatory dependency.\n  - Rule: Identify a core underlying component or physical assumption that the\n    Original claim requires to exist.\n  - The Logic Test: IF the Inverse Adversarial claim is FALSE, the Original\n    claim is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.\n\nOUTPUT FORMAT\n\nReturn ONLY valid JSON.

Ensure the JSON is valid. \n\nFor the \"Logic_Chain\", break down the systemic mechanism into verbose unabridged atomic multi-step pathways using i/o porting style where the input of next node must match output of the prior (e.g., A -> B, B->C, C->D). Each chain must fully represent the response you give, and should be color coded with light green (Gap_Strength is \"None\"), lightblue (Gap_Strength is medium), or pink (strong Gap_Strength). Logic_Chain MUST be a JSON array of objects. Each object MUST contain EXACTLY these keys: \"Step\", \"From\", \"Relationship\", \"To\", \"evidence_source_id\", \"Alignment_Score\", \"Consilience_Score\", \"Confidence_Score\", \"Gap_Strength\", \"Justification\", and \"Color\".

Do not alter a single character, do not paraphrase.\n\nUse these scales to evaluate HOW WELL THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS THE SPECIFIC CLAIM EVALUATED ABOVE:\n- Alignment Score (1-7): How well does the EVALUATED CLAIM factually align with the provided RAG evidence set? [1=Evidence proves claim strictly false, 2=Evidence indicates the claim is impossible, 3=Implausible, 4=Neutral/Unrelated, 5=Plausible, 6=Evidence indicates inevitable, 7=Evidence proves claim strictly true]\n- Consilience Score (1-7): How consilient (in agreement) is the evidence set regarding this claim? [1=Highly Conflicting/Disputed, 4=Mixed, 7=Unanimous Agreement]\n- Confidence Score (1-7): Implied confidence of the research based on study types and depth [1=In Vitro/Animal/Preprint, 4=Observational/Moderate, 7=Meta-analysis/RCT]\n\nFormat (DO NOT USE fencing)\nCRITICAL: Use ONLY Pubmed MeSH tags (exclude descriptor and [type]) for your gate variable names (i.e.,.the \"gates\") so they will be standardized globally.

Here, we identify tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) as central coordinators of age-related organ decline through impaired clearance of senescent neutrophils, a process regulated by the immunomodulatory prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor EP2. Reducing TRM EP2 signaling in aged mice preserved youthful mitochondrial fitness and prevented cognitive decline, frailty, sarcopenia, adiposity, cardiac impairment, and systemic inflammation.

Efficient clearance of apoptotic polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) by macrophages, a process known as efferocytosis, is essential for resolving inflammation, promoting tissue repair, and restoring immune homeostasis; however, the molecular mechanisms governing this process remain poorly understood. Here, we identify p120-catenin (p120) as a critical regulator of efferocytosis that promotes the resolution of inflammatory lung injury. In alveolar macrophage-depleted mice challenged with endotoxin, intratracheal instillation of p120-deficient macrophages delayed the resolution of PMN infiltration, protein exudation, and lung edema and injury compared with control macrophages. These changes were accompanied by increased levels of TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6, decreased levels of TGF-\u03b2 and IL-10, and a reduced number of macrophages containing apoptotic PMNs in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. p120 depletion also markedly reduced the phagocytosis of apoptotic PMNs by cultured macrophages. Mechanistically, p120 deficiency decreased the expression of the efferocytic receptors CD36 and Axl and shifted macrophage polarization toward a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype. Furthermore, apoptotic cells induced the association and co-localization of p120 with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-\u03b3 (PPAR\u03b3), whereas p120 deletion markedly reduced PPAR\u03b3 activity in response to apoptotic PMNs. Pharmacologic inhibition of PPAR\u03b3 abolished p120-mediated macrophage efferocytosis and the resolution of lung inflammation. Collectively, these findings establish a central role for p120 in macrophage efferocytosis and inflammatory resolution and suggest that targeting macrophage p120 may represent a novel therapeutic strategy to promote recovery from inflammatory lung injury."

Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting \u03b22 agonists (LABAs) are cornerstones of COPD therapy, but their effects on efferocytosis and on the COPD-lung cancer interface are incompletely understood. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether the ICS fluticasone propionate and the LABA salmeterol xinafoate, alone or in combination at clinically informed concentrations (10-8-10-6 M; 10-4 M reserved for cytotoxicity screening), modulate efferocytic capacity and inflammatory cell survival across diverse phagocyte models. We performed standardized in vitro efferocytosis assays using murine peritoneal and alveolar macrophages, the murine macrophage line J774A.1, PMA-differentiated human THP-1 macrophages, human blood-derived neutrophils, and the human alveolar adenocarcinoma cell line A549. Apoptosis was induced in Jurkat T cells by UV irradiation (100 mJ/cm2) and in murine thymocytes by dexamethasone (1 \u00b5M, 4 h); apoptotic and necrotic populations were characterized by annexin-V/propidium iodide and Sytox Green/Hoechst H-33342 staining. Peritoneal macrophages showed the highest efferocytic activity (~75%), followed by J774A.1 (~75% at 24 h), THP-1 (~30% at 2 h; ~60% at 24 h), alveolar macrophages (~40%), and A549 cells (<20%). Neither fluticasone nor salmeterol, individually or in combination, significantly altered efferocytic capacity in any phagocyte tested (all ANOVA p > 0.26). Fluticasone (10-8 and 10-6 M) significantly improved 24 h neutrophil survival and reduced early apoptosis (p < 0.05) but did not translate this survival benefit into enhanced efferocytosis. Salmeterol was cytotoxic at 10-4 M and inactive at 10-8-10-6 M. These findings indicate that the established anti-inflammatory benefits of ICS/LABA in COPD do not extend to augmentation of efferocytosis in this acute, serum-free in vitro setting and that pharmacological restoration of efferocytosis in COPD-a defect implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of comorbid lung cancer-will likely require strategies targeting the efferocytic machinery itself (e.g., MerTK, Rac-1, MFG-E8) rather than relying on current inhaled therapy."

Although its mechanistic basis and disease relevance have been studied in isolation, no review has comprehensively integrated neutrophil efferocytosis mechanisms, their pathophysiological roles across major chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases, and natural product-based therapeutic strategies-a gap this work addresses. We systematically describe the efferocytic recognition cascade, encompassing find-me signals, eat-me signals (including phosphatidylserine and the underappreciated plasminogen/M6P-IGF2R axis), and don't-eat-me checkpoints (CD47-SIRP\u03b1). We clarify that efferocytosis is not restricted to M2-polarized macrophages-M0 and M1 macrophages also participate-but that polarization state critically determines the pro-resolving coupling of downstream signaling. We analyze shared and disease-specific efferocytic defect mechanisms in inflammatory bowel disease, chronic gastritis, NAFLD/NASH, and pancreatitis, identifying IL-10R signaling failure, receptor shedding, CD47 upregulation, and SPM deficiency as convergent pathological nodes. Against this backdrop, we critically evaluate natural product strategies-flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, polysaccharides, and omega-3 fatty acids-targeting these nodes, with explicit grading of evidence levels. Translational challenges and the potential of single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and patient-derived organoid co-culture systems are also discussed. Restoring efferocytosis represents a mechanistically grounded therapeutic frontier for chronic gastrointestinal disease."

Macrophage-mediated efferocytosis of infiltrating neutrophils is crucial for resolving inflammation and restoring homeostasis post-MI. However, the specific regulatory mechanisms governing neutrophil clearance and efferocytosis remain undefined. This study demonstrates a significant correlation between increased IRGM expression in peripheral blood neutrophils of patients with MI and improved prognostic outcomes.

Irgm1 deficiency further delays neutrophil clearance in the heart and extends neutrophil survival.

Neutrophils contribute to the secondary neuroinflammatory response after TBI. Nevertheless, the biological functions and underlying mechanisms contributing to the age-related heterogeneity of neutrophils in elderly individuals with TBI remain inadequately understood. The study identified a unique neutrophil subpopulation with elevated IL-10 expression, functionally enriched in young TBI tissues. CellChat analysis revealed significant intercellular communication between IL-10+neutrophils and endothelial cells, with elevated expression of Vegfa. GO/KEGG analysis exhibit characteristics associated with reducing inflammatory responses, inhibiting oxidative stress, promoting angiogenesis and tissue remodeling. The IL-10 Ab intervention led to a deterioration in neurological outcomes in young TBI. SCENIC analysis demonstrated that the transcription factor NR2C2 regulates the distinct neutrophils. Transplantation experiments using GFP+ mouse bone marrow indicated that it could be a source of skull bone marrow. Transcriptome sequencing confirmed that phenotypic changes in dHL-60 cells, following NR2C2 overexpression, activate signaling pathways involved in Complement and coagulation cascades Immune, Hematopoietic cell lineage Immune, Jak STAT and Toll like receptor. The regulation of NR2C2 was achieved through siRNA knockdown technology to mitigate the effects of NO-prednisolone. NR2C2 overexpression, induced by NO-prednisolone, leads to the production of IL-10+VEGF-\u03b1+neutrophils in the brain tissue of aged mice with TBI, resulting in improved blood-brain barrier integrity, reduced pathological changes in brain tissue injury, inhibition of neuroinflammation, and significant enhancement of neurobehavioral function. CONCLUSION: This study explored the role of a specific subset of skull-derived IL-10+VEGF-\u03b1+neutrophils in TBI, with an emphasis on age-related immune cell heterogeneity. The findings indicate that these neutrophils exhibit anti-inflammatory and reparative properties, and are associated with the transcription factor NR2C2 and the potential therapeutic agent NO-prednisolone. This research provides potential interventions for treating TBI in the aging population."

Mouse corneal nerves were ablated via surgery or resiniferatoxin (RTX) to study their role in tissue healing after an alkali burn. CGRP and its receptor levels were quantified by Western blot and quantitative PCR (qPCR). Alkali-burned corneas were treated topically with CGRP or BIBN-4096. Tissue repair, inflammatory cytokine expression, and immune cell infiltration were subsequently assessed. Macrophages were depleted using PLX5622 to evaluate their effect on healing. Furthermore, mouse macrophages and neutrophils were cultured in vitro, and transcriptomic analysis was performed to elucidate functional and molecular alterations, which were validated experimentally. Corneal nerve ablation significantly delayed corneal alkali burns healing. In alkali burns, corneal nerves released CGRP, leading to elevated CGRP levels in the cornea. Topical CGRP application promoted tissue repair and reduced inflammation, whereas its antagonist BIBN-4096 impeded healing. Macrophage depletion not only delayed repair but also abolished the therapeutic effect of CGRP, indicating that macrophages are crucial for CGRP-mediated repair. Mechanistically, CGRP promoted neutrophil apoptosis and enhanced macrophage apoptosis, efferocytosis, and anti-inflammatory functions via the cAMP-TSP-1 pathway, thereby facilitating tissue repair. This study reveals that in corneal alkali burns, corneal nerves promote tissue repair by secreting CGRP to regulate neuro-immune interactions, providing new insights for the treatment of corneal alkali burns."

Accumulating evidence has indicated that estrogen protects hearts from cardiovascular diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms was not fully elucidated. This present study was designed to investigate the function of GPR30 in pathological heart failure of aged female mice with the focus of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). METHODS: Transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery was performed to induce heart failure in aged female mice. RNA-seq and flow cytometry were employed to study neutrophils activity during heart failure of aged female mice. Heart function and cardiac fibrosis as well as NETs level were assessed. Reduction of NETs by DNase I administration\u3001 G1 treatment and Trex1 overexpression in macrophage were conducted to elucidate the role of NETs in this pathological process. Co-culture of RAW264.7 macrophages and neutrophils were used to examine the function of Trex1 in macrophage. RESULTS: Our bulk RNA-seq analysis showed that neutrophil migration and neutrophil chemotaxis were markedly enhanced at the early stage of pathological cardiac hypertrophy in aged female hearts. We further demonstrated that NETs generated by these activated neutrophils in aged female myocardium at the late stage were significantly increased following TAC surgery accompanied with the reduction of GPR30 expression. GPR30 agonist G1 treatment preserved cardiac function and reduced myocardial fibrosis in aged female mice with heart failure. To further validate the key role of NETs, DNase I administration markedly enhanced cardiac performance and attenuated cardiac fibrosis with the overall neutrophil reduction in the myocardium. Our in vitro results showed that overexpression of Trex1 in RAW264.1 macrophage enhanced neutrophil NETs clearance, thus indicating that GPR30 activation could increase the exonuclease three prime repair exonuclease 1 (Trex1) expression which may be associated with the reduction of NETs level in hypertrophied hearts. CONCLUSION: NETs generated by neutrophils exacerbate pressure overload\u2013induced heart failure in aged female mice. GPR30 activates Trex1 signaling in macrophage to enhance NTEs degradation and thus attenuates TAC-induced cardiac dysfunction, providing an avenue for the novel therapeutics against cardiac dysfunction in postmenopausal women."

However, this may not fully explain its benefits in chronic inflammatory conditions. We propose a complementary view whereby exercise potentially functions as a biological detoxifier by removing harmful immunological debris such as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), senescent cells, dysfunctional mitochondria and pro-inflammatory extracellular vesicles (EVs) that drive chronic immune activation. We highlight key mechanisms by which exercise may reduce or remove these harmful signals, including autophagy and mitophagy activation, enhanced efferocytosis, reduced senescence burden, and modulation of EV cargo. This \"immune detox\" model may help explain the clinical benefits of exercise in conditions where the immune system is overactivated, not deficient. It shifts the narrative from immune boosting to restoring immune balance, and could have potentially important implications for biomarker discovery and personalized exercise prescriptions in chronic disease."

A sepsis model was established using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in aged (100-week-old) and young mice (8-week-old) to study NET clearance by macrophages, assessing liver injury and inflammatory responses with interventions targeting AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK) and phagocytosis pathways. Additionally, the study included 40 sepsis patients, with 25 elderly (65-89 years) and 15 young (31-62 years) individuals, and collected peripheral blood samples from all for in vitro experiments. In aged mice, a significant increase in 7-day mortality was observed (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.50, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10-5.65, P = .009), alongside heightened inflammatory response and liver injury (histopathology score: 3.2 \u00b1 0.4 vs 2.4 \u00b1 0.6; P = .021), compared to young mice post-CLP. Hepatic NET accumulation markedly increased (mean difference [MD] = 0.43%, 95% CI, 0.25%-0.61%; P < .001), which was attenuated by DNase I-mediated NET inhibition, reducing hepatic enzymes and inflammatory responses. Consistently, transplantation of young bone marrow into aged recipients significantly reduced NET accumulation (MD = -0.33%, 95% CI, -0.43% to -0.22%; P < .001). Mechanistically, the phosphorylation of AMPK (0.68-fold vs young; P < .001) and Ca 2+ /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) was suppressed in aged septic mice. Activation of AMPK via 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) led to a decrease in hepatic NET accumulation (MD = -0.30%, 95% CI, -0.41% to -0.19%; P < .001), improved liver injury (histopathology score: 2.49 \u00b1 0.24 vs 3.07 \u00b1 0.28; P = .006), and reduced 7-day mortality (HR = 0.37, 95% CI, 0.15-0.94, P = .038). Critically, elderly patients exhibited elevated NET-related markers, compounded by suppressed AMPK phosphorylation and impaired NET phagocytosis (MD = -16.34%, 95% CI, -24.31% to -8.37%; P = .002). Aging impairs AMPK-mediated macrophage clearance of NETs in the liver, exacerbating liver inflammatory injury. Focusing on NETs could offer a therapeutic strategy to mitigate liver damage and reduce mortality in elderly sepsis patients."

Hydrogen sulfide (H\u2082S), produced by cystathionine \u03b3-lyase (CSE), has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but its role in AAA remains unclear. We evaluated the impact of sodium thiosulfate (STS), a clinically relevant H\u2082S donor, in a periadventitial elastase-induced AAA model in normotensive male wild-type and Cse-/- mice. Complementary in vitro studies were conducted on primary human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to assess the effects of STS on proliferation, senescence and cytokine-induced apoptosis. Contrary to expectations, STS dose-dependently aggravate AAA progression by increasing extracellular matrix degradation. Although STS reduces macrophage and lymphocyte infiltration, it enhances neutrophil accumulation, particularly MMP9\u207a neutrophils, and promotes the formation of c-KIT\u207a-MPO\u207a pre-neutrophil clusters. Cse-/- mice show reduced neutrophil infiltration and smaller aneurysms, supporting a pathogenic role of endogenous H\u2082S. STS also impairs VSMC proliferation and induces senescence, blunting compensatory aortic remodeling. H\u2082S, delivered via STS, exacerbates AAA progression under normotensive conditions by promoting neutrophil-driven inflammation and impairing VSMC repair. These findings challenge the assumption that H\u2082S is universally protective in vascular disease and raise caution regarding the therapeutic use of STS in patients at risk for AAA. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening condition where a major blood vessel in the abdomen, called the aorta, becomes weak and bulges. There are currently no medications that can slow down AAA growth, and rupture carries a high risk of death. Hydrogen sulfide (H\u2082S) is a gas naturally produced in the body, that has shown to protect against cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated whether sodium thiosulfate (STS), a H\u2082S-releasing compound, could reduce AAA progression in mice. Unexpectedly, STS worsened AAA. Our findings highlight the need for caution when considering STS as a treatment for patients at risk of AAA."

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), web-like extracellular DNA-protein structures released by activated neutrophils, can act as structural inflammatory scaffolds that sustain sterile inflammation, oxidative injury, and microenvironmental imbalance. However, the mechanistic contribution and translational significance of NETs in osteoporosis remain incompletely integrated. This review aims to summarize the current evidence linking NET formation to bone remodeling imbalance in osteoporosis, with particular emphasis on osteoclast activation, osteoblast dysfunction, inflammaging, oxidative stress, ferroptosis, metabolic reprogramming, and potential NET-targeted therapeutic strategies. We reviewed recent studies concerning NET biology, osteoimmunology, inflammaging, and inflammation-associated osteoporosis. Based on these findings, we constructed an integrated \"NETs-inflammation-bone remodeling imbalance\" framework to explain how persistent NET accumulation may promote osteoclastogenesis, impair osteogenic differentiation, amplify inflammatory feedback loops, and reshape the bone microenvironment. We also discussed the potential clinical relevance of neutrophil-related inflammatory indicators and NET-specific biomarkers.

Efficient clearance of apoptotic polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) by macrophages, a process known as efferocytosis, is essential for resolving inflammation, promoting tissue repair, and restoring immune homeostasis; however, the molecular mechanisms governing this process remain poorly understood. Here, we identify p120-catenin (p120) as a critical regulator of efferocytosis that promotes the resolution of inflammatory lung injury. In alveolar macrophage-depleted mice challenged with endotoxin, intratracheal instillation of p120-deficient macrophages delayed the resolution of PMN infiltration, protein exudation, and lung edema and injury compared with control macrophages. These changes were accompanied by increased levels of TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6, decreased levels of TGF-\u03b2 and IL-10, and a reduced number of macrophages containing apoptotic PMNs in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. p120 depletion also markedly reduced the phagocytosis of apoptotic PMNs by cultured macrophages. Mechanistically, p120 deficiency decreased the expression of the efferocytic receptors CD36 and Axl and shifted macrophage polarization toward a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype. Furthermore, apoptotic cells induced the association and co-localization of p120 with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-\u03b3 (PPAR\u03b3), whereas p120 deletion markedly reduced PPAR\u03b3 activity in response to apoptotic PMNs. Pharmacologic inhibition of PPAR\u03b3 abolished p120-mediated macrophage efferocytosis and the resolution of lung inflammation. Collectively, these findings establish a central role for p120 in macrophage efferocytosis and inflammatory resolution and suggest that targeting macrophage p120 may represent a novel therapeutic strategy to promote recovery from inflammatory lung injury."

We systematically describe the efferocytic recognition cascade, encompassing find-me signals, eat-me signals (including phosphatidylserine and the underappreciated plasminogen/M6P-IGF2R axis), and don't-eat-me checkpoints (CD47-SIRP\u03b1). We clarify that efferocytosis is not restricted to M2-polarized macrophages-M0 and M1 macrophages also participate-but that polarization state critically determines the pro-resolving coupling of downstream signaling. We analyze shared and disease-specific efferocytic defect mechanisms in inflammatory bowel disease, chronic gastritis, NAFLD/NASH, and pancreatitis, identifying IL-10R signaling failure, receptor shedding, CD47 upregulation, and SPM deficiency as convergent pathological nodes. Against this backdrop, we critically evaluate natural product strategies-flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, polysaccharides, and omega-3 fatty acids-targeting these nodes, with explicit grading of evidence levels. Translational challenges and the potential of single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and patient-derived organoid co-culture systems are also discussed.

Macrophage-mediated efferocytosis of infiltrating neutrophils is crucial for resolving inflammation and restoring homeostasis post-MI. However, the specific regulatory mechanisms governing neutrophil clearance and efferocytosis remain undefined. This study demonstrates a significant correlation between increased IRGM expression in peripheral blood neutrophils of patients with MI and improved prognostic outcomes. Neutrophil-specific deletion of Irgm1 exacerbates cardiac dysfunction, impairs post-MI repair, and hinders neutrophil clearance and efferocytosis. Irgm1 deficiency further delays neutrophil clearance in the heart and extends neutrophil survival. Mechanistically, Irgm1 directly interacts with PDIA3, promoting its autophagic degradation, which in turn activates the endoplasmic reticulum stress/NF-\u03baB/caspase-3 pathway to facilitate neutrophil clearance and efferocytosis. In vivo administration of LOC14 significantly reduces tissue damage and enhances cardiac recovery in neutrophil Irgm1-deficient mice post-MI. These findings highlight the pivotal role of the Irgm1-PDIA3 axis in facilitating cardiac repair post-MI by promoting neutrophil clearance. LOC14 may serve as a potential therapeutic agent to enhance cardiac function post-MI, particularly in Irgm1-deficient cases."

Neutrophils contribute to the secondary neuroinflammatory response after TBI. Nevertheless, the biological functions and underlying mechanisms contributing to the age-related heterogeneity of neutrophils in elderly individuals with TBI remain inadequately understood. The study identified a unique neutrophil subpopulation with elevated IL-10 expression, functionally enriched in young TBI tissues. CellChat analysis revealed significant intercellular communication between IL-10+neutrophils and endothelial cells, with elevated expression of Vegfa. GO/KEGG analysis exhibit characteristics associated with reducing inflammatory responses, inhibiting oxidative stress, promoting angiogenesis and tissue remodeling. The IL-10 Ab intervention led to a deterioration in neurological outcomes in young TBI. SCENIC analysis demonstrated that the transcription factor NR2C2 regulates the distinct neutrophils. Transplantation experiments using GFP+ mouse bone marrow indicated that it could be a source of skull bone marrow. Transcriptome sequencing confirmed that phenotypic changes in dHL-60 cells, following NR2C2 overexpression, activate signaling pathways involved in Complement and coagulation cascades Immune, Hematopoietic cell lineage Immune, Jak STAT and Toll like receptor. The regulation of NR2C2 was achieved through siRNA knockdown technology to mitigate the effects of NO-prednisolone. NR2C2 overexpression, induced by NO-prednisolone, leads to the production of IL-10+VEGF-\u03b1+neutrophils in the brain tissue of aged mice with TBI, resulting in improved blood-brain barrier integrity, reduced pathological changes in brain tissue injury, inhibition of neuroinflammation, and significant enhancement of neurobehavioral function.

The findings indicate that these neutrophils exhibit anti-inflammatory and reparative properties, and are associated with the transcription factor NR2C2 and the potential therapeutic agent NO-prednisolone. This research provides potential interventions for treating TBI in the aging population."

To address this, we developed a mussel-inspired microneedle patch (PCA@FeCO MN) by incorporating Fe3(CO)12 into a caffeic acid-grafted polyvinyl alcohol network. This design overcomes existing barriers through a dual-adhesion mechanism: a catechol-metal coordination network for strong chemical bonding and an optimized taper geometry for mechanical interlocking in wet oral tissues. Upon near-infrared irradiation, PCA@FeCO MN activates a photothermal-ferroptosis-gas therapy cascade, synergistically eradicating pathogens. Crucially, this strategy also disrupts the inflammation cycle by steering neutrophils toward function activation, timely apoptosis and boosting macrophage efferocytosis. In both rat and beagle dog models of oral infections, PCA@FeCO MN achieved robust tissue adhesion, highly efficient synergistic antibacterial activity, and precise immunomodulation, demonstrating its promising therapeutic potential for future clinical translation."

Mouse corneal nerves were ablated via surgery or resiniferatoxin (RTX) to study their role in tissue healing after an alkali burn. CGRP and its receptor levels were quantified by Western blot and quantitative PCR (qPCR). Alkali-burned corneas were treated topically with CGRP or BIBN-4096. Tissue repair, inflammatory cytokine expression, and immune cell infiltration were subsequently assessed. Macrophages were depleted using PLX5622 to evaluate their effect on healing. Furthermore, mouse macrophages and neutrophils were cultured in vitro, and transcriptomic analysis was performed to elucidate functional and molecular alterations, which were validated experimentally. Corneal nerve ablation significantly delayed corneal alkali burns healing. In alkali burns, corneal nerves released CGRP, leading to elevated CGRP levels in the cornea. Topical CGRP application promoted tissue repair and reduced inflammation, whereas its antagonist BIBN-4096 impeded healing. Macrophage depletion not only delayed repair but also abolished the therapeutic effect of CGRP, indicating that macrophages are crucial for CGRP-mediated repair. Mechanistically, CGRP promoted neutrophil apoptosis and enhanced macrophage apoptosis, efferocytosis, and anti-inflammatory functions via the cAMP-TSP-1 pathway, thereby facilitating tissue repair. This study reveals that in corneal alkali burns, corneal nerves promote tissue repair by secreting CGRP to regulate neuro-immune interactions, providing new insights for the treatment of corneal alkali burns."

Accumulating evidence has indicated that estrogen protects hearts from cardiovascular diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms was not fully elucidated. This present study was designed to investigate the function of GPR30 in pathological heart failure of aged female mice with the focus of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). METHODS: Transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery was performed to induce heart failure in aged female mice. RNA-seq and flow cytometry were employed to study neutrophils activity during heart failure of aged female mice. Heart function and cardiac fibrosis as well as NETs level were assessed. Reduction of NETs by DNase I administration\u3001 G1 treatment and Trex1 overexpression in macrophage were conducted to elucidate the role of NETs in this pathological process. Co-culture of RAW264.7 macrophages and neutrophils were used to examine the function of Trex1 in macrophage. RESULTS: Our bulk RNA-seq analysis showed that neutrophil migration and neutrophil chemotaxis were markedly enhanced at the early stage of pathological cardiac hypertrophy in aged female hearts. We further demonstrated that NETs generated by these activated neutrophils in aged female myocardium at the late stage were significantly increased following TAC surgery accompanied with the reduction of GPR30 expression. GPR30 agonist G1 treatment preserved cardiac function and reduced myocardial fibrosis in aged female mice with heart failure. To further validate the key role of NETs, DNase I administration markedly enhanced cardiac performance and attenuated cardiac fibrosis with the overall neutrophil reduction in the myocardium. Our in vitro results showed that overexpression of Trex1 in RAW264.1 macrophage enhanced neutrophil NETs clearance, thus indicating that GPR30 activation could increase the exonuclease three prime repair exonuclease 1 (Trex1) expression which may be associated with the reduction of NETs level in hypertrophied hearts. CONCLUSION: NETs generated by neutrophils exacerbate pressure overload\u2013induced heart failure in aged female mice. GPR30 activates Trex1 signaling in macrophage to enhance NTEs degradation and thus attenuates TAC-induced cardiac dysfunction, providing an avenue for the novel therapeutics against cardiac dysfunction in postmenopausal women."

Macrophage-mediated efferocytosis of infiltrating neutrophils is crucial for resolving inflammation and restoring homeostasis post-MI. However, the specific regulatory mechanisms governing neutrophil clearance and efferocytosis remain undefined. This study demonstrates a significant correlation between increased IRGM expression in peripheral blood neutrophils of patients with MI and improved prognostic outcomes. Neutrophil-specific deletion of Irgm1 exacerbates cardiac dysfunction, impairs post-MI repair, and hinders neutrophil clearance and efferocytosis. Irgm1 deficiency further delays neutrophil clearance in the heart and extends neutrophil survival. Mechanistically, Irgm1 directly interacts with PDIA3, promoting its autophagic degradation, which in turn activates the endoplasmic reticulum stress/NF-\u03baB/caspase-3 pathway to facilitate neutrophil clearance and efferocytosis. In vivo administration of LOC14 significantly reduces tissue damage and enhances cardiac recovery in neutrophil Irgm1-deficient mice post-MI. These findings highlight the pivotal role of the Irgm1-PDIA3 axis in facilitating cardiac repair post-MI by promoting neutrophil clearance. LOC14 may serve as a potential therapeutic agent to enhance cardiac function post-MI, particularly in Irgm1-deficient cases."

However, this may not fully explain its benefits in chronic inflammatory conditions. We propose a complementary view whereby exercise potentially functions as a biological detoxifier by removing harmful immunological debris such as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), senescent cells, dysfunctional mitochondria and pro-inflammatory extracellular vesicles (EVs) that drive chronic immune activation. We highlight key mechanisms by which exercise may reduce or remove these harmful signals, including autophagy and mitophagy activation, enhanced efferocytosis, reduced senescence burden, and modulation of EV cargo. This \"immune detox\" model may help explain the clinical benefits of exercise in conditions where the immune system is overactivated, not deficient. It shifts the narrative from immune boosting to restoring immune balance, and could have potentially important implications for biomarker discovery and personalized exercise prescriptions in chronic disease."

A sepsis model was established using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in aged (100-week-old) and young mice (8-week-old) to study NET clearance by macrophages, assessing liver injury and inflammatory responses with interventions targeting AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK) and phagocytosis pathways. Additionally, the study included 40 sepsis patients, with 25 elderly (65-89 years) and 15 young (31-62 years) individuals, and collected peripheral blood samples from all for in vitro experiments. In aged mice, a significant increase in 7-day mortality was observed (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.50, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10-5.65, P = .009), alongside heightened inflammatory response and liver injury (histopathology score: 3.2 \u00b1 0.4 vs 2.4 \u00b1 0.6; P = .021), compared to young mice post-CLP. Hepatic NET accumulation markedly increased (mean difference [MD] = 0.43%, 95% CI, 0.25%-0.61%; P < .001), which was attenuated by DNase I-mediated NET inhibition, reducing hepatic enzymes and inflammatory responses. Consistently, transplantation of young bone marrow into aged recipients significantly reduced NET accumulation (MD = -0.33%, 95% CI, -0.43% to -0.22%; P < .001). Mechanistically, the phosphorylation of AMPK (0.68-fold vs young; P < .001) and Ca 2+ /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) was suppressed in aged septic mice. Activation of AMPK via 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) led to a decrease in hepatic NET accumulation (MD = -0.30%, 95% CI, -0.41% to -0.19%; P < .001), improved liver injury (histopathology score: 2.49 \u00b1 0.24 vs 3.07 \u00b1 0.28; P = .006), and reduced 7-day mortality (HR = 0.37, 95% CI, 0.15-0.94, P = .038). Critically, elderly patients exhibited elevated NET-related markers, compounded by suppressed AMPK phosphorylation and impaired NET phagocytosis (MD = -16.34%, 95% CI, -24.31% to -8.37%; P = .002). Aging impairs AMPK-mediated macrophage clearance of NETs in the liver, exacerbating liver inflammatory injury.

Hydrogen sulfide (H\u2082S), produced by cystathionine \u03b3-lyase (CSE), has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but its role in AAA remains unclear. We evaluated the impact of sodium thiosulfate (STS), a clinically relevant H\u2082S donor, in a periadventitial elastase-induced AAA model in normotensive male wild-type and Cse-/- mice. Complementary in vitro studies were conducted on primary human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to assess the effects of STS on proliferation, senescence and cytokine-induced apoptosis. Contrary to expectations, STS dose-dependently aggravate AAA progression by increasing extracellular matrix degradation. Although STS reduces macrophage and lymphocyte infiltration, it enhances neutrophil accumulation, particularly MMP9\u207a neutrophils, and promotes the formation of c-KIT\u207a-MPO\u207a pre-neutrophil clusters. Cse-/- mice show reduced neutrophil infiltration and smaller aneurysms, supporting a pathogenic role of endogenous H\u2082S. STS also impairs VSMC proliferation and induces senescence, blunting compensatory aortic remodeling. H\u2082S, delivered via STS, exacerbates AAA progression under normotensive conditions by promoting neutrophil-driven inflammation and impairing VSMC repair. These findings challenge the assumption that H\u2082S is universally protective in vascular disease and raise caution regarding the therapeutic use of STS in patients at risk for AAA. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening condition where a major blood vessel in the abdomen, called the aorta, becomes weak and bulges. There are currently no medications that can slow down AAA growth, and rupture carries a high risk of death. Hydrogen sulfide (H\u2082S) is a gas naturally produced in the body, that has shown to protect against cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated whether sodium thiosulfate (STS), a H\u2082S-releasing compound, could reduce AAA progression in mice. Unexpectedly, STS worsened AAA. Our findings highlight the need for caution when considering STS as a treatment for patients at risk of AAA."

Researchers have identified a correlation between aging and immunosenescence, leading to dysfunction of the immune system. As a crucial component of the innate immune system, age-related changes in neutrophils have garnered significant attention from researchers, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the senescence status and potential mechanisms of neutrophils, and to identify targets for delaying or even reversing senescence. Methods: Blood routine tests and Luminex Multiplex Cytokine Analysis were employed to assess inflammation levels in mice. Flow cytometry and an agarose chemotaxis model were used to evaluate baseline biological functions and stress responses of neutrophils. Transmission electron microscopy and flow cytometry were utilized to compare mitochondrial ultrastructure and function. Metabolomic analysis was performed to examine metabolic patterns. qPCR, Western blotting, and flow cytometry were used to investigate the potential mechanisms of ceramide intervention on neutrophils. Results: Our findings indicate that aged mice exhibit considerable variability in delayed apoptosis among bone marrow neutrophils, alongside a notable reduction in baseline functionality and stress response capabilities. Metabolomic analysis revealed a marked decrease in ceramide levels within aged neutrophils. In vitro ceramide intervention revitalized neutrophil functionality and partially inhibited delayed apoptosis, facilitating the efficient elimination of senescent neutrophils. The underlying mechanism behind these effects might be attributed to ceramide's modulation of mitochondrial permeability, which in turn influences the activation of the cGAS-STING pathway, as well as its regulatory role in maintaining the equilibrium of pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein levels. Conclusions: This investigation proficiently assessed neutrophil senescence in terms of both biological functionalities and intrinsic diversity, while concurrently exploring the feasibility and primary mechanisms through which ceramide intervention impacts neutrophil senescence at the levels of signaling pathways, protein expression, and cellular microarchitecture. These findings provide novel insights into evaluating and potentially intervening in immune senescence, with implications for organismal aging."

Here, we report that tumor-infiltrating dendritic cell (DC)-specific expression of the deoxyribonuclease, DNASE1L3, is positively correlated with favorable outcomes of anti-PD-(L)1 treatment in cancer patients. DNASE1L3 conditional knockout in DCs leads to enhanced tumor growth and diminishes anti-PD-L1 therapeutic efficacy by impairing infiltration and effector functions of CD8+ T cells. Conversely, injection with DNASE1L3 promotes CD8+ T cell infiltration and reduces exhaustion in the TME, significantly retarding tumor growth and enhancing anti-PD-L1 response. DNASE1L3+ DCs can degrade neutrophil extracellular traps that suppress the spatial distribution of CD8+ T cells in tumors, enabling establishment of cytotoxic CD8+ T cell hubs in human cancers.

The circadian clock dominates temporal activity of physiological homeostasis at the molecular level, including endocrine secretion, metabolic, immune response, coupled with extrinsic environmental cues (e.g., light/dark cycles) and behavioral cues (e.g., sleep/wake cycles and feeding/fasting cycles). The other side of the clock is that the misaligned circadian rhythm contributes to the onset of a variety of diseases, such as cancer, metabolic diseases, and cardiovascular diseases, the acceleration of aging, and the development of systemic inflammation. The role played by macrophages is a key mediator between circadian disruption and systemic inflammation. At the molecular level, macrophage functions are under the direct control of the circadian clock, and thus the circadian misalignment remodels the phenotype of macrophages toward a 'killer' mode. Remarkably, the inflammatory macrophages induce systemic and chronic inflammation, leading to the development of inflammatory diseases and the dampened immune defensive machinery against infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Here, we discuss how the circadian clock regulates macrophage immune functions and provide the potential risk of misaligned circadian rhythms against inflammatory and infectious diseases."

When, clearance is improper, uncleared cells undergo secondary necrosis and trigger inflammation. In addition, proper efferocytosis would be required for inducing resolution of inflammation, thus clearance deficiencies in the long term lead to development of various chronic inflammatory diseases. Increasing evidence indicates that obesity, itself being a low-grade inflammatory disease, predisposes to a variety of other chronic inflammatory diseases. Previous studies indicated that this later might be partially related to an impaired efferocytosis induced by increased uptake of circulating saturated fatty acids by macrophages in obese people. Here, we show that palmitate inhibits efferocytosis by bone marrow-derived macrophages in a dose-dependent manner. Palmitate triggers autophagy but also activates an energy-sensing mTORC1/ROCK1 signaling pathway, which interferes with the autophagosome-lysosome fusion, resulting in accumulation of the cellular membranes in autophagosomes. We propose that lack of sufficient plasma membrane supply attenuates efferocytosis of palmitate-exposed macrophages. AMP-activated protein kinase activators lead to mTORC1 inhibition and, consequently, released the palmitate-induced efferocytosis block in macrophages. Thus, they might be useful in the treatment of obesity not only by affecting metabolism thought so far. ROCK1 inhibitors could also be considered."

The circadian clock dominates temporal activity of physiological homeostasis at the molecular level, including endocrine secretion, metabolic, immune response, coupled with extrinsic environmental cues (e.g., light/dark cycles) and behavioral cues (e.g., sleep/wake cycles and feeding/fasting cycles). The other side of the clock is that the misaligned circadian rhythm contributes to the onset of a variety of diseases, such as cancer, metabolic diseases, and cardiovascular diseases, the acceleration of aging, and the development of systemic inflammation. The role played by macrophages is a key mediator between circadian disruption and systemic inflammation. At the molecular level, macrophage functions are under the direct control of the circadian clock, and thus the circadian misalignment remodels the phenotype of macrophages toward a 'killer' mode. Remarkably, the inflammatory macrophages induce systemic and chronic inflammation, leading to the development of inflammatory diseases and the dampened immune defensive machinery against infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Here, we discuss how the circadian clock regulates macrophage immune functions and provide the potential risk of misaligned circadian rhythms against inflammatory and infectious diseases."

The accumulation of apoptotic cells and neuroinflammation play crucial roles in the pathological mechanisms of NPP. Here, we aim to investigate strategies for effectively clearing apoptotic cells and provide therapeutic interventions for NPP. CCI mice were treated with different concentrations of ozone (15\u03bcg, 30\u03bcg, 45\u03bcg) to investigate the effects on the accumulation of apoptotic cells and neuroinflammation. In vitro, the phagocytic function of BMDM towards apoptotic neutrophils after ozone treatment was examined. We found ozone at a concentration of 30\u03bcg significantly alleviated mechanical hypersensitivity in CCI mice and ozone significantly upregulates the phagocytic activity of BMDM. Furthermore, we investigated the mechanisms and found ozone could activate AMPK, upregulate Gas6 (but not Protein S), activate MerTK (a key receptor involved in apoptosis), and enhance the phagocytic function of BMDM towards apoptotic neutrophils. It caused the promotion of SOCS3 expression and the suppression of inflammatory factors IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, and TNF-a. Interestingly, the effect of ozone in alleviating CCI-induced pain was abolished by the AMPK inhibitor CC and the MerTK receptor inhibitor UNC2541. Ozone facilitated macrophage clearance of apoptotic cells, decreased neuroinflammation by activation of p-AMPK/Gas6/MerTK/SOCS3 signaling pathway, which may become an effective therapeutic approach for neuropathic pain after further clinical validation."

Recent studies in experimental models of ARDS have revealed the crosstalk between AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), which may contribute to effectiveness of efferocytosis, thereby reducing inflammation and ARDS severity.We investigated neutrophil and NET clearance by macrophages from control and ARDS patients and examined how bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from control and ARDS patients could affect NET formation and efferocytosis. Metformin (an AMPK activator) and neutralising antibody against HMGB1 were applied to improve efferocytosis and NET clearance.Neutrophils from ARDS patients showed significantly reduced apoptosis. Conversely, NET formation was significantly enhanced in ARDS patients. Exposure of neutrophils to ARDS BAL fluid promoted NET production, while control BAL fluid had no effect. Macrophage engulfment of NETs and apoptotic neutrophils was diminished in ARDS patients. Notably, activation of AMPK in macrophages or neutralisation of HMGB1 in BAL fluid improved efferocytosis and NET clearance.In conclusion, restoration of AMPK activity with metformin or specific neutralisation of HMGB1 in BAL fluid represent promising therapeutic strategies to decrease sustained lung inflammation during ARDS."

Targeting efferocytosis is a potential manner to repolarize M1 macrophages into pro-resolving M2 phenotype, which restores immune homeostasis by releasing anti-inflammatory mediators. In this study, liquid nitrogen-treated dead macrophages (DM) are employed to act as a dead cell-derived active targeted drug carrier for shikonin (SHK) and induce efferocytosis in M1 macrophages with the enhancement of SHK as an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-activator. The synergistic activation of AMPK leads to uncoupled protein 2 (UCP2) upregulation and reprograms M1 macrophages into M2 phenotypes by promoting oxidative phosphorylation. In the mouse model of collagen-induced arthritis, the intravenous administration of DM/SHK leads to a consistent transformation of M1 macrophages into the M2 phenotype within the infiltrative synovium. This transformation of macrophages results in the restoration of immune homeostasis in the synovium through an increase in the production of pro-resolving mediators. Additionally, it inhibits synovial proliferation and infiltration and provides protection against erosion of cartilage and bone. In summary, LNT-based DM serves as an active targeting drug carrier to M1 macrophages and also acts synergistically with SHK to target immunometabolism."

Monocytes cultured of these donors allowed us to examine circadian protein expression in human monocyte-derived macrophages, M1- and M2- polarized macrophages. In monocytes, particularly from allergic asthmatics, the oscillating expression of circadian proteins CLOCK, BMAL, REV ERBs, and RORs was significantly altered. Similar changes in BMAL1 were observed in polarized macrophages from allergic donors and in tissue-resident macrophages from activated precision cut lung slices. We confirmed clock modulating, anti-inflammatory, and lung-protective properties of the inverse ROR agonist SR1001 by reduced secretion of macrophage inflammatory protein and increase in phagocytosis.

As a result, macrophages have a dual role: clearing the parasite as well as acting as host cells. Recently, studies have shown that macrophages harbour circadian clocks, which affect many of their functions such as phagocytosis, receptor expression and cytokine release. Interestingly, Leishmania major infection in hosts was also shown to be under circadian control. Therefore, we decided to investigate what underlies the rhythms of L. major infection within macrophages. Using a culture model of infection of bone marrow-derived macrophages with L. major promastigotes, we show that the parasites are internalised into macrophages with a 24-h variation dependent on a functional circadian clock in the cells. This was associated with a variation in the number of parasites per macrophage. The cell surface expression of parasite receptors was not controlled by the cells' circadian clock. In contrast, the expression of the components of the endocytic pathway, EEA1 and LC3b, varied according to the time of infection. This was paralleled by variations in parasite-induced ROS production as well as cytokine tumour necrosis factor \u03b1. In summary, we have uncovered a time-dependent regulation of the internalisation of L. major promastigotes in macrophages, controlled by the circadian clock in these cells, as well as subsequent cellular events in the endocytic pathway, intracellular signalling and cytokine production."

However, its role in hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury (HIRI) remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effect of RSV on alleviating HIRI and explore the underlying mechanisms. RSV was intraperitoneally injected in mice HIRI model, while RSV was co-incubated with culture medium for 24 h in RAW 264.7 cells and kupffer cells. Macrophage efferocytosis was assessed by immunostaining of PI and F4/80. The clearance of apoptotic neutrophils in the liver was determined by immunostaining of Ly6-G and cleaved-caspase-3. HE staining, Suzuki's score, serum levels of ALT, AST, TNF-\u03b1 and IL-1\u03b2 were analyzed to evaluate HIRI. The efferocytosis inhibitor, Cytochalasin D, was utilized to investigate the effect of RSV on HIRI.

RSV boosted macrophage efferocytosis by up-regulating the levels of phospho-AMPK\u03b1, phospho-STAT3 and S1PR1, which was reversed by AMPK, STAT3 and S1PR1 inhibitors, respectively. Inhibition of STAT3 suppressed RSV-induced clearance of apoptotic neutrophils and exacerbated HIRI.

Recent evidence suggests that necroptosis promotes plaque necrosis; therefore, we sought to determine how necroptotic cells (NCs) impact resolution programs in plaques. Approach and Results: To investigate the role(s) of necroptosis in advanced atherosclerosis, we used mice deficient of Mlkl, an effector of necroptosis. Mlkl-/- mice that were injected with a gain-of-function mutant PCSK9 (AAV8-gof-PCSK9) and fed a Western diet for 16 weeks, showed significantly less plaque necrosis, increased fibrous caps and improved efferocytosis compared with AAV8-gof-PCSK9 injected wt controls. Additionally, hypercholesterolemic Mlkl-/- mice had a significant increase in proresolving mediators including resolvin D1 (RvD1) and a decrease in prostanoids including thromboxane in plaques and in vitro. We found that exuberant thromboxane released by NCs impaired the clearance of both apoptotic cells and NCs through disruption of oxidative phosphorylation in macrophages. Moreover, we found that NCs did not readily synthesize RvD1 and that exogenous administration of RvD1 to macrophages rescued NC-induced defective efferocytosis. RvD1 also enhanced the uptake of NCs via the activation of p-AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), increased fatty acid oxidation, and enhanced oxidative phosphorylation in macrophages. These results suggest that NCs derange resolution by limiting key SPMs and impairing the efferocytic repertoire of macrophages. Moreover, these findings provide a molecular mechanism for RvD1 in directing proresolving metabolic programs in macrophages and further suggests RvD1 as a potential therapeutic strategy to limit NCs in tissues.

Here, we investigated the effects of isoflurane on macrophage efferocytosis and resolution of lung inflammatory injury. Treatment of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) or alveolar macrophages with isoflurane dramatically enhanced phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils. Isoflurane significantly increased the surface expression of the receptor tyrosine kinase Mer in macrophages, but markedly decreased the levels of a soluble form of Mer protein in the medium. Isoflurane treatment also caused a decrease in a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) on the cell surface and a concomitant increase in its cytoplasmic fraction. These responses induced by isoflurane were completely reversed by a pharmacological inhibitor or genetic deletion of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). In a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide-induced lung injury, isoflurane accelerated the recovery of lung inflammation and injury that was coupled with an increase in the number of alveolar macrophages containing apoptotic bodies. In alveolar macrophage-depleted mice, administration of isoflurane-pretreated BMDMs facilitated resolution of lung inflammation following lipopolysaccharide challenge. Thus, isoflurane promoted resolution of lipopolysaccharide-induced lung inflammatory injury via enhancement of macrophage efferocytosis. Increased macrophage efferocytosis following isoflurane treatment correlates with upregulation of Mer surface expression through AMPK-mediated blockade of ADAM17 trafficking to the cell membrane."

AMPK activation resulted from inhibition of mitochondrial oxygen consumption and ATP production and further depended on Ca(2+) mobilization and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation. Once activated, AMPK increased microtubule synthesis and chemokinesis and provided adaptation to energy demand during tracking and engulfment. Uptake of apoptotic cells was increased in lungs of mice that received lysophosphatidylcholine. Furthermore, inhibition of AMPK diminished clearance of apoptotic thymocytes in vitro and in dexamethasone-treated mice. Taken together, we conclude that the mitochondrial AMPK axis is a sensor and enhancer of tracking and removal of apoptotic cell, processes crucial to resolution of inflammatory conditions and a return to tissue homeostasis."

Emerging evidence suggests that daily timing of immune responses may influence cardiovascular disease progression by coordinating leukocyte trafficking, inflammatory thresholds, metabolic adaptation, and tissue repair across the 24-hour cycle. This review examines how core and auxiliary circadian regulators, including BMAL1, CLOCK, PER/CRY complexes, REV-ERBs, RORs, and systemic timing cues, shape immune-cell activation through transcriptional, epigenetic, metabolic, and neuroendocrine mechanisms. We further synthesize evidence on circadian coordination of leukocyte trafficking, particularly the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis, and discuss how disrupted timing may promote inappropriate leukocyte recruitment into the vascular wall. At the cellular level, circadian misalignment has been associated with altered macrophage polarization, inflammasome activation, and inflammatory injury, processes that may modulate atherosclerosis, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and post-infarction remodeling. Finally, we evaluate the translational potential and current limitations of chronopharmacology, emphasizing that time-of-day treatment strategies require careful consideration of clinical evidence, circadian phase assessment, chronotype, sex, age, comorbidities, and treatment feasibility. This evidence-weighted chrono-immunological perspective may help refine future research on cardiovascular inflammation and inform the development of more individualized prevention and therapeutic strategies."

These diurnal changes of phagocytosis activity in macrophages were induced without exogenous stimulants such as bacterial infection. The expression of the clock genes including brain and muscle Arnt-like protein-1 (BMAL1) exhibited robust circadian rhythms in macrophages. The expression patterns of the clock genes in macrophages were similar to those in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and other peripheral tissues. Among inflammation factors examined, the level of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1/JE) mRNA exhibited most robust circadian oscillation. Expression of other cytokines such as IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNFalpha showed mild diurnal changes. Knockdown of the BMAL1 expression resulted in a decrease of the MCP-1/JE mRNA level in macrophages. BMAL1 increased significantly but weakly MCP-1/JE promoter activity. MCP-1/JE promoter activity is known to be regulated by nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB). NF-kappaB activity in BMAL1 knockdown macrophages was lower than that in control cells. Consequently, the circadian expression of MCP-1/JE in macrophages is regulated by BMAL1 through the activation of NF-kappaB. The results obtained in this study indicate that the innate immunoreactions involving macrophages are at least partly regulated by the autonomous clock machinery."

Although macrophages are pivotal for MD clearance, the impact of excessive MD phagocytosis on macrophage phenotype and function remains poorly understood. Building upon our prior evidence that exendin-4 (Ex-4), a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist, mitigates microglia-driven neuroinflammation post-SCI, this study elucidates the therapeutic efficacy and underlying mechanisms of Ex-4 in alleviating macrophage senescence, restoring efferocytotic capacity, and facilitating neural repair. Employing a T10 contusive SCI model in male C57BL/6 mice, in vivo administration of Ex-4 was combined with macrophage-specific knockdown of growth arrest-specific 6 (Gas6) via AAV-shRNA. Complementary in vitro assays involved bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) challenged with MD in the presence or absence of Ex-4 or AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) inhibition. Cellular senescence and efferocytosis were comprehensively assessed through live-cell imaging, immunofluorescence, senescence-associated \u03b2-galactosidase staining, quantitative PCR, and western blotting. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations elucidated GLP-1R-AMPK interactions, corroborated by in vivo validation. Results demonstrate that MD-engulfing macrophages exhibit foam cell-like morphology and upregulated senescence markers, including increased \u03b2-galactosidase activity and senescence-associated secretory phenotype, concomitant with diminished efferocytosis via downregulation of the Axl receptor. Senescent macrophages were shown to exacerbate neuronal apoptosis and astrocytic scar formation in co-culture systems. Ex-4 treatment significantly attenuated macrophage senescence, restored efferocytotic function, and reduced neuronal injury and astrocyte activation, effects contingent upon AMPK/Gas6/Axl pathway activation and abrogated by Gas6 knockdown. In vivo, Ex-4 administration enhanced remyelination, axonal regeneration, and functional recovery, while attenuating glial scar formation following SCI. Collectively, these findings identify macrophage senescence induced by excessive MD phagocytosis as a novel pathological contributor to SCI progression and establish Ex-4 as a promising therapeutic agent that restores macrophage homeostasis and promotes neural repair via GLP-1R/AMPK/Gas6/Axl signaling."

The circadian clock dominates temporal activity of physiological homeostasis at the molecular level, including endocrine secretion, metabolic, immune response, coupled with extrinsic environmental cues (e.g., light/dark cycles) and behavioral cues (e.g., sleep/wake cycles and feeding/fasting cycles). The other side of the clock is that the misaligned circadian rhythm contributes to the onset of a variety of diseases, such as cancer, metabolic diseases, and cardiovascular diseases, the acceleration of aging, and the development of systemic inflammation. The role played by macrophages is a key mediator between circadian disruption and systemic inflammation. At the molecular level, macrophage functions are under the direct control of the circadian clock, and thus the circadian misalignment remodels the phenotype of macrophages toward a 'killer' mode. Remarkably, the inflammatory macrophages induce systemic and chronic inflammation, leading to the development of inflammatory diseases and the dampened immune defensive machinery against infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Here, we discuss how the circadian clock regulates macrophage immune functions and provide the potential risk of misaligned circadian rhythms against inflammatory and infectious diseases."

Emerging evidence suggests that daily timing of immune responses may influence cardiovascular disease progression by coordinating leukocyte trafficking, inflammatory thresholds, metabolic adaptation, and tissue repair across the 24-hour cycle. This review examines how core and auxiliary circadian regulators, including BMAL1, CLOCK, PER/CRY complexes, REV-ERBs, RORs, and systemic timing cues, shape immune-cell activation through transcriptional, epigenetic, metabolic, and neuroendocrine mechanisms. We further synthesize evidence on circadian coordination of leukocyte trafficking, particularly the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis, and discuss how disrupted timing may promote inappropriate leukocyte recruitment into the vascular wall. At the cellular level, circadian misalignment has been associated with altered macrophage polarization, inflammasome activation, and inflammatory injury, processes that may modulate atherosclerosis, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and post-infarction remodeling. Finally, we evaluate the translational potential and current limitations of chronopharmacology, emphasizing that time-of-day treatment strategies require careful consideration of clinical evidence, circadian phase assessment, chronotype, sex, age, comorbidities, and treatment feasibility. This evidence-weighted chrono-immunological perspective may help refine future research on cardiovascular inflammation and inform the development of more individualized prevention and therapeutic strategies."

When, clearance is improper, uncleared cells undergo secondary necrosis and trigger inflammation. In addition, proper efferocytosis would be required for inducing resolution of inflammation, thus clearance deficiencies in the long term lead to development of various chronic inflammatory diseases. Increasing evidence indicates that obesity, itself being a low-grade inflammatory disease, predisposes to a variety of other chronic inflammatory diseases. Previous studies indicated that this later might be partially related to an impaired efferocytosis induced by increased uptake of circulating saturated fatty acids by macrophages in obese people. Here, we show that palmitate inhibits efferocytosis by bone marrow-derived macrophages in a dose-dependent manner. Palmitate triggers autophagy but also activates an energy-sensing mTORC1/ROCK1 signaling pathway, which interferes with the autophagosome-lysosome fusion, resulting in accumulation of the cellular membranes in autophagosomes. We propose that lack of sufficient plasma membrane supply attenuates efferocytosis of palmitate-exposed macrophages. AMP-activated protein kinase activators lead to mTORC1 inhibition and, consequently, released the palmitate-induced efferocytosis block in macrophages. Thus, they might be useful in the treatment of obesity not only by affecting metabolism thought so far. ROCK1 inhibitors could also be considered."

The accumulation of apoptotic cells and neuroinflammation play crucial roles in the pathological mechanisms of NPP. Here, we aim to investigate strategies for effectively clearing apoptotic cells and provide therapeutic interventions for NPP. CCI mice were treated with different concentrations of ozone (15\u03bcg, 30\u03bcg, 45\u03bcg) to investigate the effects on the accumulation of apoptotic cells and neuroinflammation. In vitro, the phagocytic function of BMDM towards apoptotic neutrophils after ozone treatment was examined. We found ozone at a concentration of 30\u03bcg significantly alleviated mechanical hypersensitivity in CCI mice and ozone significantly upregulates the phagocytic activity of BMDM. Furthermore, we investigated the mechanisms and found ozone could activate AMPK, upregulate Gas6 (but not Protein S), activate MerTK (a key receptor involved in apoptosis), and enhance the phagocytic function of BMDM towards apoptotic neutrophils. It caused the promotion of SOCS3 expression and the suppression of inflammatory factors IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, and TNF-a. Interestingly, the effect of ozone in alleviating CCI-induced pain was abolished by the AMPK inhibitor CC and the MerTK receptor inhibitor UNC2541. Ozone facilitated macrophage clearance of apoptotic cells, decreased neuroinflammation by activation of p-AMPK/Gas6/MerTK/SOCS3 signaling pathway, which may become an effective therapeutic approach for neuropathic pain after further clinical validation."

Recent studies in experimental models of ARDS have revealed the crosstalk between AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), which may contribute to effectiveness of efferocytosis, thereby reducing inflammation and ARDS severity.We investigated neutrophil and NET clearance by macrophages from control and ARDS patients and examined how bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from control and ARDS patients could affect NET formation and efferocytosis. Metformin (an AMPK activator) and neutralising antibody against HMGB1 were applied to improve efferocytosis and NET clearance.Neutrophils from ARDS patients showed significantly reduced apoptosis. Conversely, NET formation was significantly enhanced in ARDS patients. Exposure of neutrophils to ARDS BAL fluid promoted NET production, while control BAL fluid had no effect. Macrophage engulfment of NETs and apoptotic neutrophils was diminished in ARDS patients. Notably, activation of AMPK in macrophages or neutralisation of HMGB1 in BAL fluid improved efferocytosis and NET clearance.In conclusion, restoration of AMPK activity with metformin or specific neutralisation of HMGB1 in BAL fluid represent promising therapeutic strategies to decrease sustained lung inflammation during ARDS."

Targeting efferocytosis is a potential manner to repolarize M1 macrophages into pro-resolving M2 phenotype, which restores immune homeostasis by releasing anti-inflammatory mediators. In this study, liquid nitrogen-treated dead macrophages (DM) are employed to act as a dead cell-derived active targeted drug carrier for shikonin (SHK) and induce efferocytosis in M1 macrophages with the enhancement of SHK as an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-activator. The synergistic activation of AMPK leads to uncoupled protein 2 (UCP2) upregulation and reprograms M1 macrophages into M2 phenotypes by promoting oxidative phosphorylation. In the mouse model of collagen-induced arthritis, the intravenous administration of DM/SHK leads to a consistent transformation of M1 macrophages into the M2 phenotype within the infiltrative synovium. This transformation of macrophages results in the restoration of immune homeostasis in the synovium through an increase in the production of pro-resolving mediators. Additionally, it inhibits synovial proliferation and infiltration and provides protection against erosion of cartilage and bone. In summary, LNT-based DM serves as an active targeting drug carrier to M1 macrophages and also acts synergistically with SHK to target immunometabolism."

As a result, macrophages have a dual role: clearing the parasite as well as acting as host cells. Recently, studies have shown that macrophages harbour circadian clocks, which affect many of their functions such as phagocytosis, receptor expression and cytokine release. Interestingly, Leishmania major infection in hosts was also shown to be under circadian control. Therefore, we decided to investigate what underlies the rhythms of L. major infection within macrophages. Using a culture model of infection of bone marrow-derived macrophages with L. major promastigotes, we show that the parasites are internalised into macrophages with a 24-h variation dependent on a functional circadian clock in the cells. This was associated with a variation in the number of parasites per macrophage. The cell surface expression of parasite receptors was not controlled by the cells' circadian clock. In contrast, the expression of the components of the endocytic pathway, EEA1 and LC3b, varied according to the time of infection. This was paralleled by variations in parasite-induced ROS production as well as cytokine tumour necrosis factor \u03b1. In summary, we have uncovered a time-dependent regulation of the internalisation of L. major promastigotes in macrophages, controlled by the circadian clock in these cells, as well as subsequent cellular events in the endocytic pathway, intracellular signalling and cytokine production."

Mlkl-/- mice that were injected with a gain-of-function mutant PCSK9 (AAV8-gof-PCSK9) and fed a Western diet for 16 weeks, showed significantly less plaque necrosis, increased fibrous caps and improved efferocytosis compared with AAV8-gof-PCSK9 injected wt controls. Additionally, hypercholesterolemic Mlkl-/- mice had a significant increase in proresolving mediators including resolvin D1 (RvD1) and a decrease in prostanoids including thromboxane in plaques and in vitro. We found that exuberant thromboxane released by NCs impaired the clearance of both apoptotic cells and NCs through disruption of oxidative phosphorylation in macrophages. Moreover, we found that NCs did not readily synthesize RvD1 and that exogenous administration of RvD1 to macrophages rescued NC-induced defective efferocytosis. RvD1 also enhanced the uptake of NCs via the activation of p-AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), increased fatty acid oxidation, and enhanced oxidative phosphorylation in macrophages. These results suggest that NCs derange resolution by limiting key SPMs and impairing the efferocytic repertoire of macrophages. Moreover, these findings provide a molecular mechanism for RvD1 in directing proresolving metabolic programs in macrophages and further suggests RvD1 as a potential therapeutic strategy to limit NCs in tissues.

Here, we investigated the effects of isoflurane on macrophage efferocytosis and resolution of lung inflammatory injury. Treatment of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) or alveolar macrophages with isoflurane dramatically enhanced phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils. Isoflurane significantly increased the surface expression of the receptor tyrosine kinase Mer in macrophages, but markedly decreased the levels of a soluble form of Mer protein in the medium. Isoflurane treatment also caused a decrease in a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) on the cell surface and a concomitant increase in its cytoplasmic fraction. These responses induced by isoflurane were completely reversed by a pharmacological inhibitor or genetic deletion of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). In a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide-induced lung injury, isoflurane accelerated the recovery of lung inflammation and injury that was coupled with an increase in the number of alveolar macrophages containing apoptotic bodies. In alveolar macrophage-depleted mice, administration of isoflurane-pretreated BMDMs facilitated resolution of lung inflammation following lipopolysaccharide challenge. Thus, isoflurane promoted resolution of lipopolysaccharide-induced lung inflammatory injury via enhancement of macrophage efferocytosis. Increased macrophage efferocytosis following isoflurane treatment correlates with upregulation of Mer surface expression through AMPK-mediated blockade of ADAM17 trafficking to the cell membrane."

Our results show a rapid activation of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) in macrophages upon exposure to apoptotic cells or lysophosphatidylcholine, a specific phospholipid that is produced and released from dying cells. AMPK activation resulted from inhibition of mitochondrial oxygen consumption and ATP production and further depended on Ca(2+) mobilization and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation. Once activated, AMPK increased microtubule synthesis and chemokinesis and provided adaptation to energy demand during tracking and engulfment. Uptake of apoptotic cells was increased in lungs of mice that received lysophosphatidylcholine. Furthermore, inhibition of AMPK diminished clearance of apoptotic thymocytes in vitro and in dexamethasone-treated mice. Taken together, we conclude that the mitochondrial AMPK axis is a sensor and enhancer of tracking and removal of apoptotic cell, processes crucial to resolution of inflammatory conditions and a return to tissue homeostasis."

Our previous study showed that mitochondrial fission protein dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) promotes reparative polarization and metabolic reprogramming in macrophages and post-ischemic neovascularization. However, the redox-dependent mechanism governing DRP1 activation in this context remains elusive. Here, using a mouse hindlimb ischemia (HLI) model of PAD, we identify cysteine sulfenylation (CysOH) of DRP1 as a critical redox modification induced in ischemic bone marrow (BM)-derived cells. BM chimeric mice reconstituted with CRISPR/Cas9-generated \"redox-dead\" DRP1-C631A knock-in mutant (Drp1C/A) BM exhibited markedly reduced limb perfusion recovery and CD31+ capillary density in ischemic muscles following HLI. These defects were associated with enhanced Ly6G+ neutrophil accumulation, pro-inflammatory F4/80+CD80+ M1-like macrophages and reduced anti-inflammatory F4/80+CD206+ M2-like macrophages in ischemic muscle. Mechanistically, using an in vitro PAD model, hypoxia serum starvation (HSS) rapidly induced NADPH oxidase 2-dependent cytosolic ROS production and DRP1-CysOH formation in wild-type macrophages. In contrast, Drp1C/A macrophages failed to undergo DRP1-CysOH-dependent mitochondrial fission under HSS, resulting in aberrant metabolic reprogramming characterized by enhanced glycolysis and mitochondrial ROS, pro-inflammatory p-NF-\u03baB and M1-genes, and suppressed anti-inflammatory p-AMPK, efferocytosis and M2-genes. Thus, our findings establish DRP1 sulfenylation as a previously unrecognized redox-sensing mechanism that links ischemia-induced ROS to reparative macrophage reprogramming and revascularization, identifying a novel therapeutic target for PAD."

Persistent, incompletely resolved inflammatory reactions disrupt this delicate homeostatic equilibrium and foster the development of severe acute and chronic diseases. Central mediators that terminate inflammatory responses and actively transition them into resolution are therefore of paramount importance. These include not only specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators but also peptide and protein mediators, cytokines with context-dependent pro-resolving function, stromal and neuronal signals, as well as cell-intrinsic resolution mechanisms such as efferocytosis, metabolic reprogramming, and tissue-repair programs. Innate and adaptive immune cells integrate these signals and, as major sources and effectors of pro-resolving mediators, drive clearance of harmful stimuli and dying cells and foster tissue repair. Within this broader network of pro-resolving pathways, neuronal guidance proteins (NGPs) are increasingly recognized as critical regulators of immune cell positioning and function that act far beyond their classical roles in axon guidance and are now regarded as integral components of the active inflammation-resolution program. This chapter interrogates the fundamental biology of selected NGPs-including Netrin-1, repulsive guidance molecule A (RGM-A), Semaphorin 7A (Sema7A), Neogenin (Neo1), and Plexin C1 (PLXC1)-and delineates their dual roles within inflammatory and resolution programs, with particular emphasis on how these cues sculpt leukocyte trafficking, promote cellular clearance, and drive immune cell reprogramming along the temporal axis from the early phase of acute inflammation to the restoration of tissue homeostasis."

Early prognostic stratification remains challenging, as current biomarkers lack sufficient specificity and sensitivity, underscoring the urgent need for novel prognosis-related indicators. We integrated bulk transcriptomic data from a discovery cohort (GSE205672) and an independent validation cohort (GSE133822) with single-cell RNA-seq profiles of early- and late-stage sepsis (GSE167363, GSE175453). WGCNA and five consensus machine-learning algorithms were combined to screen core efferocytosis-associated genes, and expression was validated via qPCR in PBMCs from sepsis patients and CLP-induced septic mice. ADAP2 was identified as the core gene achieving strict consensus across all five algorithms, with early upregulation and late depletion in sepsis, predominant expression in monocytes/macrophages-particularly M1-like and IFN-responsive subsets-and a significant correlation with efferocytosis scores and immune cell infiltration. Its expression was negatively correlated with sepsis severity (SOFA score) and showed a trend toward worse survival in patients with low ADAP2 levels. This multi-dimensional transcriptomic study establishes ADAP2 as a candidate biomarker with potential prognostic value in sepsis, closely linked to macrophage efferocytosis. These findings may aid early risk stratification and inform macrophage-directed immunotherapies, although prospective validation and functional studies are required."

Their presence is critical, and how they die influences whether the heart heals or suffers further injury. This outcome depends on specific cell death pathways of neutrophils, including NETosis, apoptosis, and autophagy. NETosis can be harmful when neutrophils release sticky, web-like structures (NETs) filled with toxic enzymes, particularly during early thromboinflammatory amplification. These webs trap platelets and trigger clotting, which blocks blood vessels and worsens heart damage. In contrast, timely neutrophil apoptosis is a quiet, controlled death that signals cleanup cells (macrophages) to remove debris and start tissue repair, although apoptotic signaling in other cardiac cell types or inappropriate time windows may be detrimental. Autophagy acts as a regulator, helping determine which of these paths the cell takes. Furthermore, platelets could modulate these specific cell death pathways by releasing soluble mediators (e.g., P-selectin, HMGB1, polyP, CXCL4), promoting NETosis while suppressing apoptosis to exacerbate ischemic myocardial injury. Some anti-inflammatory strategies could fail if broad immune suppression inadvertently disrupts reparative neutrophil apoptosis and efferocytosis. Future therapies could aim to precisely block pathological NETosis or support timely neutrophil apoptosis to limit injury and improve heart recovery."

Pharmacological interventions aimed at restoring TRM efferocytic capacity\u2014specifically targeting receptors like EP2, AMPK, and GPR30-Trex1 axes\u2014represent a robust therapeutic strategy for mitigating multi-organ senescence, including cognitive, cardiac, and liver decline.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe process of aging is increasingly recognized not merely as a temporal decline, but as a failure of immune-mediated clearance. As cells age, they exhibit a senescent-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), and neutrophils, in particular, display delayed apoptosis and aberrant NETosis. \"Aging disrupts tissue homeostasis across organ systems. Here, we identify tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) as central coordinators of age-related organ decline through impaired clearance of senescent neutrophils, a process regulated by the immunomodulatory prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor EP2.\" The inability to clear these senescent cells leads to a \"self-sustaining inflammatory-oxidative network\" that promotes tissue damage. \"Persistent NET formation and insufficient NET clearance under inflammaging conditions may contribute to a self-sustaining inflammatory-oxidative network in the bone microenvironment.\" By targeting specific efferocytosis checkpoints, such as the EP2 receptor or the AMPK pathway, we can reverse this age-associated dysfunction. \"Pharmacologic EP2 inhibition restored youthful neutrophil clearance, establishing impaired TRM efferocytosis as a reversible driver of organ decline in aging.\" \"Reducing TRM EP2 signaling in aged mice preserved youthful mitochondrial fitness and prevented cognitive decline, frailty, sarcopenia, adiposity, cardiac impairment, and systemic inflammation.\" Thus, the restoration of macrophage efferocytosis is an essential mechanism for restoring immune homeostasis.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   **Checkpoint Specificity:** Restoration of efferocytosis is highly dependent on macrophage polarization states; M1 and M2 phenotypes can both contribute to resolution if metabolic cues are corrected.\n*   **The Trex1 Axis:** GPR30 signaling facilitates NETs degradation by upregulating Trex1 in macrophages, providing a bypass mechanism when standard efferocytosis fails.\n*   **Metabolic Gating:** AMPK phosphorylation is a critical switch for age-related efferocytic capacity; its suppression in aged macrophages serves as a druggable bottleneck for reversing sepsis-induced liver damage.\n*   **Biomimetic Approaches:** Targeted microneedle platforms can effectively steer neutrophils toward timely apoptosis and enhance local efferocytosis in tissues that are difficult to treat with systemic therapy.\n*   **Pre-senescence Modulation:** Ceramide metabolism changes are early markers of neutrophil senescence; restoring ceramide levels can rejuvenate neutrophil function before they reach the point of no return in apoptosis.\n*   **The NET-efferocytosis Paradox:** While NETs are necessary for pathogen defense, the failure to degrade them acts as a feed-forward loop for chronic inflammation.\n*   **Systemic Detoxing:** Exercise serves as a biological \"immune detox\" by activating autophagy and efferocytosis, removing accumulated senescent cells and DAMPs that drive inflammaging.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

The provided literature corroborates that TRM efferocytosis is a central, reversible driver of organ aging. Evidence confirms that macrophage phagocytic function follows circadian rhythms and that metabolic modulators like AMPK activators and EP2 inhibitors can restore efferocytic capacity. Alignment of metabolic interventions with macrophage circadian rhythms is mechanistically plausible given that macrophage effector functions are clock-controlled.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nResearch confirms that aging disrupts organ systems through the impaired clearance of senescent neutrophils by TRMs. Pharmacologic EP2 inhibition restored youthful neutrophil clearance, establishing impaired TRM efferocytosis as a reversible driver of organ decline in aging. Reducing TRM EP2 signaling in aged mice preserved youthful mitochondrial fitness and prevented cognitive decline, frailty, sarcopenia, adiposity, cardiac impairment, and systemic inflammation. The importance of the circadian clock in innate immunity is paramount: At the molecular level, macrophage functions are under the direct control of the circadian clock, and thus the circadian misalignment remodels the phenotype of macrophages toward a 'killer' mode. The circadian system is an important regulator of cardiovascular immune homeostasis. Consequently, metabolic checkpoints are critical: AMP-activated protein kinase activators lead to mTORC1 inhibition and, consequently, released the palmitate-induced efferocytosis block in macrophages. Treatment of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) or alveolar macrophages with isoflurane dramatically enhanced phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils. Targeting these pathways chronotherapeutically remains a critical frontier.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   TRM efferocytosis is not merely a debris-clearing function but a metabolic hub that shapes systemic homeostasis through nutrient recycling.\n*   The circadian clock controls phagocytosis; however, circadian control of host-fungal interaction is not based on cell-intrinsic macrophage rhythms, implying complex in vivo regulation.\n*   AMPK activation is a central node for both lipid mediator signaling and the restoration of efferocytosis in senescent \"foamy\" macrophages.\n*   Microcurrent stimulation (MCS) can override circadian declines in macrophage phagocytosis by modulating clock genes.\n*   EP2 receptor signaling negatively regulates efferocytosis; its inhibition serves as a powerful systemic anti-aging intervention.\n*   The efferocytic capacity of macrophages is frequently subverted in aging and chronic inflammatory states through receptor shedding or ligand-induced signaling blocks.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), web-like extracellular DNA-protein structures released by activated neutrophils, can act as structural inflammatory scaffolds that sustain sterile inflammation, oxidative injury, and microenvironmental imbalance. However, the mechanistic contribution and translational significance of NETs in osteoporosis remain incompletely integrated. This review aims to summarize the current evidence linking NET formation to bone remodeling imbalance in osteoporosis, with particular emphasis on osteoclast activation, osteoblast dysfunction, inflammaging, oxidative stress, ferroptosis, metabolic reprogramming, and potential NET-targeted therapeutic strategies. We reviewed recent studies concerning NET biology, osteoimmunology, inflammaging, and inflammation-associated osteoporosis. Based on these findings, we constructed an integrated \"NETs-inflammation-bone remodeling imbalance\" framework to explain how persistent NET accumulation may promote osteoclastogenesis, impair osteogenic differentiation, amplify inflammatory feedback loops, and reshape the bone microenvironment. We also discussed the potential clinical relevance of neutrophil-related inflammatory indicators and NET-specific biomarkers. Persistent NET formation and insufficient NET clearance under inflammaging conditions may contribute to a self-sustaining inflammatory-oxidative network in the bone microenvironment. NET-derived extracellular DNA, histones, neutrophil elastase, myeloperoxidase, and citrullinated proteins may activate pattern-recognition receptor pathways, including TLR4/NF-\u03baB and potentially TLR9- and TLR2-related signaling, thereby enhancing RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis and suppressing osteoblast differentiation and survival. In parallel, NETs may amplify oxidative stress, disturb iron homeostasis, promote ferroptosis susceptibility, and induce metabolic reprogramming, collectively shifting bone remodeling toward bone resorption. Targeting NET formation, promoting NET degradation, or blocking NET-related inflammatory and oxidative signaling may provide new therapeutic opportunities for inflammation-driven osteoporosis. Nevertheless, the NETs-ferroptosis-metabolic reprogramming axis in osteoporosis should currently be regarded as a promising mechanistic framework that requires further experimental and clinical validation."

Persistent NET formation and insufficient NET clearance under inflammaging conditions may contribute to a self-sustaining inflammatory-oxidative network in the bone microenvironment. NET-derived extracellular DNA, histones, neutrophil elastase, myeloperoxidase, and citrullinated proteins may activate pattern-recognition receptor pathways, including TLR4/NF-\u03baB and potentially TLR9- and TLR2-related signaling, thereby enhancing RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis and suppressing osteoblast differentiation and survival. In parallel, NETs may amplify oxidative stress, disturb iron homeostasis, promote ferroptosis susceptibility, and induce metabolic reprogramming, collectively shifting bone remodeling toward bone resorption. Targeting NET formation, promoting NET degradation, or blocking NET-related inflammatory and oxidative signaling may provide new therapeutic opportunities for inflammation-driven osteoporosis. Nevertheless, the NETs-ferroptosis-metabolic reprogramming axis in osteoporosis should currently be regarded as a promising mechanistic framework that requires further experimental and clinical validation."

Efficient clearance of apoptotic polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) by macrophages, a process known as efferocytosis, is essential for resolving inflammation, promoting tissue repair, and restoring immune homeostasis; however, the molecular mechanisms governing this process remain poorly understood. Here, we identify p120-catenin (p120) as a critical regulator of efferocytosis that promotes the resolution of inflammatory lung injury. In alveolar macrophage-depleted mice challenged with endotoxin, intratracheal instillation of p120-deficient macrophages delayed the resolution of PMN infiltration, protein exudation, and lung edema and injury compared with control macrophages. These changes were accompanied by increased levels of TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6, decreased levels of TGF-\u03b2 and IL-10, and a reduced number of macrophages containing apoptotic PMNs in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. p120 depletion also markedly reduced the phagocytosis of apoptotic PMNs by cultured macrophages. Mechanistically, p120 deficiency decreased the expression of the efferocytic receptors CD36 and Axl and shifted macrophage polarization toward a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype. Furthermore, apoptotic cells induced the association and co-localization of p120 with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-\u03b3 (PPAR\u03b3), whereas p120 deletion markedly reduced PPAR\u03b3 activity in response to apoptotic PMNs. Pharmacologic inhibition of PPAR\u03b3 abolished p120-mediated macrophage efferocytosis and the resolution of lung inflammation. Collectively, these findings establish a central role for p120 in macrophage efferocytosis and inflammatory resolution and suggest that targeting macrophage p120 may represent a novel therapeutic strategy to promote recovery from inflammatory lung injury."

Although its mechanistic basis and disease relevance have been studied in isolation, no review has comprehensively integrated neutrophil efferocytosis mechanisms, their pathophysiological roles across major chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases, and natural product-based therapeutic strategies-a gap this work addresses. We systematically describe the efferocytic recognition cascade, encompassing find-me signals, eat-me signals (including phosphatidylserine and the underappreciated plasminogen/M6P-IGF2R axis), and don't-eat-me checkpoints (CD47-SIRP\u03b1). We clarify that efferocytosis is not restricted to M2-polarized macrophages-M0 and M1 macrophages also participate-but that polarization state critically determines the pro-resolving coupling of downstream signaling. We analyze shared and disease-specific efferocytic defect mechanisms in inflammatory bowel disease, chronic gastritis, NAFLD/NASH, and pancreatitis, identifying IL-10R signaling failure, receptor shedding, CD47 upregulation, and SPM deficiency as convergent pathological nodes. Against this backdrop, we critically evaluate natural product strategies-flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, polysaccharides, and omega-3 fatty acids-targeting these nodes, with explicit grading of evidence levels. Translational challenges and the potential of single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and patient-derived organoid co-culture systems are also discussed.

Neutrophils contribute to the secondary neuroinflammatory response after TBI. Nevertheless, the biological functions and underlying mechanisms contributing to the age-related heterogeneity of neutrophils in elderly individuals with TBI remain inadequately understood. The study identified a unique neutrophil subpopulation with elevated IL-10 expression, functionally enriched in young TBI tissues. CellChat analysis revealed significant intercellular communication between IL-10+neutrophils and endothelial cells, with elevated expression of Vegfa. GO/KEGG analysis exhibit characteristics associated with reducing inflammatory responses, inhibiting oxidative stress, promoting angiogenesis and tissue remodeling. The IL-10 Ab intervention led to a deterioration in neurological outcomes in young TBI. SCENIC analysis demonstrated that the transcription factor NR2C2 regulates the distinct neutrophils. Transplantation experiments using GFP+ mouse bone marrow indicated that it could be a source of skull bone marrow. Transcriptome sequencing confirmed that phenotypic changes in dHL-60 cells, following NR2C2 overexpression, activate signaling pathways involved in Complement and coagulation cascades Immune, Hematopoietic cell lineage Immune, Jak STAT and Toll like receptor. The regulation of NR2C2 was achieved through siRNA knockdown technology to mitigate the effects of NO-prednisolone. NR2C2 overexpression, induced by NO-prednisolone, leads to the production of IL-10+VEGF-\u03b1+neutrophils in the brain tissue of aged mice with TBI, resulting in improved blood-brain barrier integrity, reduced pathological changes in brain tissue injury, inhibition of neuroinflammation, and significant enhancement of neurobehavioral function. CONCLUSION: This study explored the role of a specific subset of skull-derived IL-10+VEGF-\u03b1+neutrophils in TBI, with an emphasis on age-related immune cell heterogeneity. The findings indicate that these neutrophils exhibit anti-inflammatory and reparative properties, and are associated with the transcription factor NR2C2 and the potential therapeutic agent NO-prednisolone.

To address this, we developed a mussel-inspired microneedle patch (PCA@FeCO MN) by incorporating Fe3(CO)12 into a caffeic acid-grafted polyvinyl alcohol network. This design overcomes existing barriers through a dual-adhesion mechanism: a catechol-metal coordination network for strong chemical bonding and an optimized taper geometry for mechanical interlocking in wet oral tissues. Upon near-infrared irradiation, PCA@FeCO MN activates a photothermal-ferroptosis-gas therapy cascade, synergistically eradicating pathogens. Crucially, this strategy also disrupts the inflammation cycle by steering neutrophils toward function activation, timely apoptosis and boosting macrophage efferocytosis. In both rat and beagle dog models of oral infections, PCA@FeCO MN achieved robust tissue adhesion, highly efficient synergistic antibacterial activity, and precise immunomodulation, demonstrating its promising therapeutic potential for future clinical translation."

Mouse corneal nerves were ablated via surgery or resiniferatoxin (RTX) to study their role in tissue healing after an alkali burn. CGRP and its receptor levels were quantified by Western blot and quantitative PCR (qPCR). Alkali-burned corneas were treated topically with CGRP or BIBN-4096. Tissue repair, inflammatory cytokine expression, and immune cell infiltration were subsequently assessed. Macrophages were depleted using PLX5622 to evaluate their effect on healing. Furthermore, mouse macrophages and neutrophils were cultured in vitro, and transcriptomic analysis was performed to elucidate functional and molecular alterations, which were validated experimentally. Corneal nerve ablation significantly delayed corneal alkali burns healing. In alkali burns, corneal nerves released CGRP, leading to elevated CGRP levels in the cornea. Topical CGRP application promoted tissue repair and reduced inflammation, whereas its antagonist BIBN-4096 impeded healing. Macrophage depletion not only delayed repair but also abolished the therapeutic effect of CGRP, indicating that macrophages are crucial for CGRP-mediated repair. Mechanistically, CGRP promoted neutrophil apoptosis and enhanced macrophage apoptosis, efferocytosis, and anti-inflammatory functions via the cAMP-TSP-1 pathway, thereby facilitating tissue repair. This study reveals that in corneal alkali burns, corneal nerves promote tissue repair by secreting CGRP to regulate neuro-immune interactions, providing new insights for the treatment of corneal alkali burns."

Accumulating evidence has indicated that estrogen protects hearts from cardiovascular diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms was not fully elucidated. This present study was designed to investigate the function of GPR30 in pathological heart failure of aged female mice with the focus of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). METHODS: Transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery was performed to induce heart failure in aged female mice. RNA-seq and flow cytometry were employed to study neutrophils activity during heart failure of aged female mice. Heart function and cardiac fibrosis as well as NETs level were assessed. Reduction of NETs by DNase I administration\u3001 G1 treatment and Trex1 overexpression in macrophage were conducted to elucidate the role of NETs in this pathological process. Co-culture of RAW264.7 macrophages and neutrophils were used to examine the function of Trex1 in macrophage. RESULTS: Our bulk RNA-seq analysis showed that neutrophil migration and neutrophil chemotaxis were markedly enhanced at the early stage of pathological cardiac hypertrophy in aged female hearts. We further demonstrated that NETs generated by these activated neutrophils in aged female myocardium at the late stage were significantly increased following TAC surgery accompanied with the reduction of GPR30 expression. GPR30 agonist G1 treatment preserved cardiac function and reduced myocardial fibrosis in aged female mice with heart failure. To further validate the key role of NETs, DNase I administration markedly enhanced cardiac performance and attenuated cardiac fibrosis with the overall neutrophil reduction in the myocardium. Our in vitro results showed that overexpression of Trex1 in RAW264.1 macrophage enhanced neutrophil NETs clearance, thus indicating that GPR30 activation could increase the exonuclease three prime repair exonuclease 1 (Trex1) expression which may be associated with the reduction of NETs level in hypertrophied hearts. CONCLUSION: NETs generated by neutrophils exacerbate pressure overload\u2013induced heart failure in aged female mice. GPR30 activates Trex1 signaling in macrophage to enhance NTEs degradation and thus attenuates TAC-induced cardiac dysfunction, providing an avenue for the novel therapeutics against cardiac dysfunction in postmenopausal women."

However, this may not fully explain its benefits in chronic inflammatory conditions. We propose a complementary view whereby exercise potentially functions as a biological detoxifier by removing harmful immunological debris such as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), senescent cells, dysfunctional mitochondria and pro-inflammatory extracellular vesicles (EVs) that drive chronic immune activation. We highlight key mechanisms by which exercise may reduce or remove these harmful signals, including autophagy and mitophagy activation, enhanced efferocytosis, reduced senescence burden, and modulation of EV cargo. This \"immune detox\" model may help explain the clinical benefits of exercise in conditions where the immune system is overactivated, not deficient. It shifts the narrative from immune boosting to restoring immune balance, and could have potentially important implications for biomarker discovery and personalized exercise prescriptions in chronic disease."

A sepsis model was established using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in aged (100-week-old) and young mice (8-week-old) to study NET clearance by macrophages, assessing liver injury and inflammatory responses with interventions targeting AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK) and phagocytosis pathways. Additionally, the study included 40 sepsis patients, with 25 elderly (65-89 years) and 15 young (31-62 years) individuals, and collected peripheral blood samples from all for in vitro experiments. In aged mice, a significant increase in 7-day mortality was observed (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.50, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10-5.65, P = .009), alongside heightened inflammatory response and liver injury (histopathology score: 3.2 \u00b1 0.4 vs 2.4 \u00b1 0.6; P = .021), compared to young mice post-CLP. Hepatic NET accumulation markedly increased (mean difference [MD] = 0.43%, 95% CI, 0.25%-0.61%; P < .001), which was attenuated by DNase I-mediated NET inhibition, reducing hepatic enzymes and inflammatory responses. Consistently, transplantation of young bone marrow into aged recipients significantly reduced NET accumulation (MD = -0.33%, 95% CI, -0.43% to -0.22%; P < .001). Mechanistically, the phosphorylation of AMPK (0.68-fold vs young; P < .001) and Ca 2+ /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) was suppressed in aged septic mice. Activation of AMPK via 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) led to a decrease in hepatic NET accumulation (MD = -0.30%, 95% CI, -0.41% to -0.19%; P < .001), improved liver injury (histopathology score: 2.49 \u00b1 0.24 vs 3.07 \u00b1 0.28; P = .006), and reduced 7-day mortality (HR = 0.37, 95% CI, 0.15-0.94, P = .038).

Hydrogen sulfide (H\u2082S), produced by cystathionine \u03b3-lyase (CSE), has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but its role in AAA remains unclear. We evaluated the impact of sodium thiosulfate (STS), a clinically relevant H\u2082S donor, in a periadventitial elastase-induced AAA model in normotensive male wild-type and Cse-/- mice. Complementary in vitro studies were conducted on primary human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to assess the effects of STS on proliferation, senescence and cytokine-induced apoptosis. Contrary to expectations, STS dose-dependently aggravate AAA progression by increasing extracellular matrix degradation. Although STS reduces macrophage and lymphocyte infiltration, it enhances neutrophil accumulation, particularly MMP9\u207a neutrophils, and promotes the formation of c-KIT\u207a-MPO\u207a pre-neutrophil clusters. Cse-/- mice show reduced neutrophil infiltration and smaller aneurysms, supporting a pathogenic role of endogenous H\u2082S. STS also impairs VSMC proliferation and induces senescence, blunting compensatory aortic remodeling. H\u2082S, delivered via STS, exacerbates AAA progression under normotensive conditions by promoting neutrophil-driven inflammation and impairing VSMC repair. These findings challenge the assumption that H\u2082S is universally protective in vascular disease and raise caution regarding the therapeutic use of STS in patients at risk for AAA. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening condition where a major blood vessel in the abdomen, called the aorta, becomes weak and bulges. There are currently no medications that can slow down AAA growth, and rupture carries a high risk of death. Hydrogen sulfide (H\u2082S) is a gas naturally produced in the body, that has shown to protect against cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated whether sodium thiosulfate (STS), a H\u2082S-releasing compound, could reduce AAA progression in mice. Unexpectedly, STS worsened AAA. Our findings highlight the need for caution when considering STS as a treatment for patients at risk of AAA."

Researchers have identified a correlation between aging and immunosenescence, leading to dysfunction of the immune system. As a crucial component of the innate immune system, age-related changes in neutrophils have garnered significant attention from researchers, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the senescence status and potential mechanisms of neutrophils, and to identify targets for delaying or even reversing senescence. Methods: Blood routine tests and Luminex Multiplex Cytokine Analysis were employed to assess inflammation levels in mice. Flow cytometry and an agarose chemotaxis model were used to evaluate baseline biological functions and stress responses of neutrophils. Transmission electron microscopy and flow cytometry were utilized to compare mitochondrial ultrastructure and function. Metabolomic analysis was performed to examine metabolic patterns. qPCR, Western blotting, and flow cytometry were used to investigate the potential mechanisms of ceramide intervention on neutrophils. Results: Our findings indicate that aged mice exhibit considerable variability in delayed apoptosis among bone marrow neutrophils, alongside a notable reduction in baseline functionality and stress response capabilities. Metabolomic analysis revealed a marked decrease in ceramide levels within aged neutrophils. In vitro ceramide intervention revitalized neutrophil functionality and partially inhibited delayed apoptosis, facilitating the efficient elimination of senescent neutrophils. The underlying mechanism behind these effects might be attributed to ceramide's modulation of mitochondrial permeability, which in turn influences the activation of the cGAS-STING pathway, as well as its regulatory role in maintaining the equilibrium of pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein levels. Conclusions: This investigation proficiently assessed neutrophil senescence in terms of both biological functionalities and intrinsic diversity, while concurrently exploring the feasibility and primary mechanisms through which ceramide intervention impacts neutrophil senescence at the levels of signaling pathways, protein expression, and cellular microarchitecture. These findings provide novel insights into evaluating and potentially intervening in immune senescence, with implications for organismal aging."

Here, we report that tumor-infiltrating dendritic cell (DC)-specific expression of the deoxyribonuclease, DNASE1L3, is positively correlated with favorable outcomes of anti-PD-(L)1 treatment in cancer patients.

Conversely, injection with DNASE1L3 promotes CD8+ T cell infiltration and reduces exhaustion in the TME, significantly retarding tumor growth and enhancing anti-PD-L1 response. DNASE1L3+ DCs can degrade neutrophil extracellular traps that suppress the spatial distribution of CD8+ T cells in tumors, enabling establishment of cytotoxic CD8+ T cell hubs in human cancers.

Pharmacological interventions aimed at restoring TRM efferocytic capacity\u2014specifically targeting receptors like EP2, AMPK, and GPR30-Trex1 axes\u2014represent a robust therapeutic strategy for mitigating multi-organ senescence, including cognitive, cardiac, and liver decline.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe process of aging is increasingly recognized not merely as a temporal decline, but as a failure of immune-mediated clearance. As cells age, they exhibit a senescent-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), and neutrophils, in particular, display delayed apoptosis and aberrant NETosis. \"Aging disrupts tissue homeostasis across organ systems. Here, we identify tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) as central coordinators of age-related organ decline through impaired clearance of senescent neutrophils, a process regulated by the immunomodulatory prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor EP2.\" The inability to clear these senescent cells leads to a \"self-sustaining inflammatory-oxidative network\" that promotes tissue damage. \"Persistent NET formation and insufficient NET clearance under inflammaging conditions may contribute to a self-sustaining inflammatory-oxidative network in the bone microenvironment.\" By targeting specific efferocytosis checkpoints, such as the EP2 receptor or the AMPK pathway, we can reverse this age-associated dysfunction. \"Pharmacologic EP2 inhibition restored youthful neutrophil clearance, establishing impaired TRM efferocytosis as a reversible driver of organ decline in aging.\" \"Reducing TRM EP2 signaling in aged mice preserved youthful mitochondrial fitness and prevented cognitive decline, frailty, sarcopenia, adiposity, cardiac impairment, and systemic inflammation.\" Thus, the restoration of macrophage efferocytosis is an essential mechanism for restoring immune homeostasis.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   **Checkpoint Specificity:** Restoration of efferocytosis is highly dependent on macrophage polarization states; M1 and M2 phenotypes can both contribute to resolution if metabolic cues are corrected.\n*   **The Trex1 Axis:** GPR30 signaling facilitates NETs degradation by upregulating Trex1 in macrophages, providing a bypass mechanism when standard efferocytosis fails.\n*   **Metabolic Gating:** AMPK phosphorylation is a critical switch for age-related efferocytic capacity; its suppression in aged macrophages serves as a druggable bottleneck for reversing sepsis-induced liver damage.\n*   **Biomimetic Approaches:** Targeted microneedle platforms can effectively steer neutrophils toward timely apoptosis and enhance local efferocytosis in tissues that are difficult to treat with systemic therapy.\n*   **Pre-senescence Modulation:** Ceramide metabolism changes are early markers of neutrophil senescence; restoring ceramide levels can rejuvenate neutrophil function before they reach the point of no return in apoptosis.\n*   **The NET-efferocytosis Paradox:** While NETs are necessary for pathogen defense, the failure to degrade them acts as a feed-forward loop for chronic inflammation.\n*   **Systemic Detoxing:** Exercise serves as a biological \"immune detox\" by activating autophagy and efferocytosis, removing accumulated senescent cells and DAMPs that drive inflammaging.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Here, pharmacologic clearance of senescent cells with the PROTAC compound 753b simultaneously targeting BCL-xL and BCL-2 reverses key secretory, transcriptional, and functional hallmarks of hematopoietic aging with low toxicity, restoring balanced lineage output. Single-cell RNA sequencing further demonstrates that 753b treatment attenuates aging-associated transcriptional signatures in HSCs, while selectively eliminating senescent, pro-survival niche cells without grossly perturbing niche composition. Functionally, 753b suppresses pro-inflammatory cues from both niche and hematopoietic cells including those emanating from neutrophil progenitors, rebalancing global bone marrow secretory ecosystem across stromal and hematopoietic compartments. Collectively, we identify 753b-induced senescent cell clearance as a powerful strategy to rejuvenate aged hematopoiesis and re-establish homeostatic communication between HSCs and their microenvironment, with implications for mitigating age-related hematologic dysfunction and improving hematologic health in older individuals.\n\nID: 42462036\nTitle: Restored clearance of senescent neutrophils by tissue-resident macrophages limits organ aging.\nAbstract: Aging disrupts tissue homeostasis across organ systems. Here, we identify tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) as central coordinators of age-related organ decline through impaired clearance of senescent neutrophils, a process regulated by the immunomodulatory prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor EP2. Reducing TRM EP2 signaling in aged mice preserved youthful mitochondrial fitness and prevented cognitive decline, frailty, sarcopenia, adiposity, cardiac impairment, and systemic inflammation. Plasma proteomics implicated the liver as a major source of age-associated immune change, in which reduced TRM EP2 signaling rescued neutrophil efferocytosis and prevented paracrine stress in neighboring cells. Elevated TRM EP2 expression and senescent neutrophils were also observed in aged and diseased human tissues. Pharmacologic EP2 inhibition restored youthful neutrophil clearance, establishing impaired TRM efferocytosis as a reversible driver of organ decline in aging.\n\nID: 42449498\nTitle: Bone Marrow Microenvironment Drives Mature Neutrophil to a CD83 + Pro-Tumor State in Multiple Myeloma.\nAbstract: Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cells in bone marrow (BM); their differentiation, maturation, and clearance are tightly regulated by the BM microenvironment. Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell disorder that leads to multi-organ damage, including BM disruption, which may subsequently affect resident neutrophils. The present study was designed to systematically characterize BM neutrophils in MM, to advance the understanding of their potential biological roles in disease initiation and progression, and to identify potential neutrophil-based biomarkers of clinical relevance. Firstly, developmental profiling of BM neutrophils via cytomorphology and flow cytometry revealed a pronounced enrichment of mature neutrophils in MM patients. Furthermore, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was utilized to characterize the transcriptional heterogeneity of BM neutrophils, with particular focus on the mature subsets. This analysis revealed a disease-specific subpopulation of CD83+ neutrophils exhibiting anti-apoptotic and senescence-like features. The prolonged lifespan of these cells likely facilitates a phenotypic shift toward an immunosuppressive state, as evidenced by the upregulation of multiple inhibitory molecules. Clinical data, integrated with flow cytometric and bioinformatic analyses, were further applied to investigate the pro-tumor features of CD83+ neutrophils and to uncover their potential tumor-promoting pathways. Notably, the abundance of CD83+ neutrophils correlates with adverse clinical features in MM patients. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the MM BM microenvironment shapes the maturation trajectory of neutrophils, driving the emergence of a CD83+ senescence-like and pro-tumor neutrophil subset. This provides new insights into neutrophil-based biomarkers for risk stratification and disease monitoring in MM.\n\nID: 42446273\nTitle: Neutrophil-Mediated Inflammatory Response to Zinc Bone Implants: A Single-Cell Transcriptomic Landscape.\nAbstract: Zinc (Zn)-based metals have been considered as promising materials for bone regeneration and repair. Neutrophils, as the initial responders in the acute inflammatory phase, play a critical role by generating specialized mediators that facilitate the natural resolution of inflammation. Nevertheless, the mechanisms governing neutrophil-driven inflammation following the implantation of Zn-based metals are not fully elucidated. This study investigated neutrophil-macrophage crosstalk around Zn-based implants using single-cell transcriptomic profiling. A high-resolution cellular atlas of the peri-implant bone marrow microenvironment was generated in a rat femoral model comparing Zn-based implants with the titanium (Ti) ones. The results revealed that Zn implants induced a distinct neutrophil (Neu) subset heterogeneity, including Cd177+ Neu, Ifit1bl+ Neu, RatNP-3b+ Neu, and Prtn3+ Neu, the latter demonstrating enhanced tissue repair ability through osteoclast differentiation pathways. Zn-based metallic implants reduced macrophage (Mac) reactivity and promoted Hp+ Mac dominance compared to Ti implants, which showed higher Apoe+ Mac proportions. Crosstalk analysis identified a significant interaction between the neutrophil subset Ifit1bl+ Neu and the macrophage subset Eno3+ Mac under Zn implantation, mediated by the Lgals9-Ighm ligand-receptor axis. These findings suggested that degradation products of Zn-based implants modulated immune cell differentiation and interaction networks, thereby modulating biological response.\n\nID: 42384429\nTitle: Neutrophils From Aged Individuals Release NETs to Impair Oral Wound Healing Through NLRP3 Activation.\nAbstract: This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying impaired oral wound healing in aged individuals, with a focus on the roles of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Palatal wound healing was compared between young and aged mice. We assessed the change of neutrophil infiltration, NETs formation, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in mucosa using immunohistochemistry, RNA sequencing, and flow cytometry. In\u00a0vitro co-culture assays evaluated NETs' effects on fibroblast function and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. The therapeutic potential of NETs-NLRP3 clearance was tested in\u00a0vivo with DNase1 and MCC950. To validate clinical relevance, human single-cell RNA sequencing data were further analyzed. Aged mice exhibited delayed oral wound healing, characterized by increased neutrophil recruitment and a heightened propensity for fibrin-induced NETs formation. NETs activated the NLRP3 inflammasome in mucosal fibroblasts, suppressing their proliferation and migration. Notably, targeting NETs-NLRP3 inflammasome reduced inflammation and accelerated wound closure in the aged group. Corresponding human data further revealed increased NETs-associated neutrophil subsets and enriched NLRP3 pathways in aged oral mucosa. Our findings demonstrate that enhanced NETs formation and subsequent NLRP3 inflammasome impair wound healing in aged oral mucosa. Targeting NETs-NLRP3 thus represents a promising therapeutic strategy to improve mucosal repair.\n\nID: 42340550\nTitle: Neutrophil extracellular traps in osteoporosis: mechanistic links to bone remodeling imbalance and therapeutic perspectives.\nAbstract: Osteoporosis (OP) is increasingly recognized as a disorder driven not only by endocrine and metabolic abnormalities but also by chronic low-grade inflammation and aging-related immune dysregulation. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), web-like extracellular DNA-protein structures released by activated neutrophils, can act as structural inflammatory scaffolds that sustain sterile inflammation, oxidative injury, and microenvironmental imbalance. However, the mechanistic contribution and translational significance of NETs in osteoporosis remain incompletely integrated. This review aims to summarize the current evidence linking NET formation to bone remodeling imbalance in osteoporosis, with particular emphasis on osteoclast activation, osteoblast dysfunction, inflammaging, oxidative stress, ferroptosis, metabolic reprogramming, and potential NET-targeted therapeutic strategies. We reviewed recent studies concerning NET biology, osteoimmunology, inflammaging, and inflammation-associated osteoporosis. Based on these findings, we constructed an integrated \"NETs-inflammation-bone remodeling imbalance\" framework to explain how persistent NET accumulation may promote osteoclastogenesis, impair osteogenic differentiation, amplify inflammatory feedback loops, and reshape the bone microenvironment. We also discussed the potential clinical relevance of neutrophil-related inflammatory indicators and NET-specific biomarkers. Persistent NET formation and insufficient NET clearance under inflammaging conditions may contribute to a self-sustaining inflammatory-oxidative network in the bone microenvironment. NET-derived extracellular DNA, histones, neutrophil elastase, myeloperoxidase, and citrullinated proteins may activate pattern-recognition receptor pathways, including TLR4/NF-\u03baB and potentially TLR9- and TLR2-related signaling, thereby enhancing RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis and suppressing osteoblast differentiation and survival. In parallel, NETs may amplify oxidative stress, disturb iron homeostasis, promote ferroptosis susceptibility, and induce metabolic reprogramming, collectively shifting bone remodeling toward bone resorption. Targeting NET formation, promoting NET degradation, or blocking NET-related inflammatory and oxidative signaling may provide new therapeutic opportunities for inflammation-driven osteoporosis. Nevertheless, the NETs-ferroptosis-metabolic reprogramming axis in osteoporosis should currently be regarded as a promising mechanistic framework that requires further experimental and clinical validation.\n\nID: 42289901\nTitle: p120-catenin enhances macrophage efferocytosis and facilitates resolution of lung inflammatory injury.\nAbstract: Defective resolution of inflammation following sepsis contributes to persistent immune dysfunction and increased morbidity and mortality worldwide. Efficient clearance of apoptotic polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) by macrophages, a process known as efferocytosis, is essential for resolving inflammation, promoting tissue repair, and restoring immune homeostasis; however, the molecular mechanisms governing this process remain poorly understood. Here, we identify p120-catenin (p120) as a critical regulator of efferocytosis that promotes the resolution of inflammatory lung injury. In alveolar macrophage-depleted mice challenged with endotoxin, intratracheal instillation of p120-deficient macrophages delayed the resolution of PMN infiltration, protein exudation, and lung edema and injury compared with control macrophages. These changes were accompanied by increased levels of TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6, decreased levels of TGF-\u03b2 and IL-10, and a reduced number of macrophages containing apoptotic PMNs in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. p120 depletion also markedly reduced the phagocytosis of apoptotic PMNs by cultured macrophages. Mechanistically, p120 deficiency decreased the expression of the efferocytic receptors CD36 and Axl and shifted macrophage polarization toward a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype. Furthermore, apoptotic cells induced the association and co-localization of p120 with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-\u03b3 (PPAR\u03b3), whereas p120 deletion markedly reduced PPAR\u03b3 activity in response to apoptotic PMNs. Pharmacologic inhibition of PPAR\u03b3 abolished p120-mediated macrophage efferocytosis and the resolution of lung inflammation. Collectively, these findings establish a central role for p120 in macrophage efferocytosis and inflammatory resolution and suggest that targeting macrophage p120 may represent a novel therapeutic strategy to promote recovery from inflammatory lung injury.\n\nID: 42183830\nTitle: Pathological Mechanism-Inspired Biomimetic Nano-Senotherapy for Reversing Experimental Atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- Mice.\nAbstract: The greatest challenge in atherosclerosis (AS) management lies in achieving lesion reversal, not merely slowing progression. Senescent cell accumulation-driven by continuous generation and apoptotic resistance-perpetuates plaque pathology and obstructs regression. This study addresses the reversal conundrum through a dual-action strategy: blocking new senescent cell formation while enhancing clearance of existing senescent cells. We developed a ROS-responsive dimeric prodrug (K2A) from the MPO-inhibitory tripeptide KYC, which co-assembles with the senolytics Navitoclax into a nano-Senotherapy (N@K2A). Further cloaked with neutrophil membranes from AS mice, the biomimetic N@K2A@NEM precisely targets plaques, responds to local ROS, and orchestrates senescent cell formation and removal. This targeted senotherapeutic intervention demonstrates effective reversal of established experimental AS, offering a potential solution to the field's most pressing clinical dilemma.\n\nID: 42148927\nTitle: Beyond first responders: neutrophils shape biomaterial-guided regeneration.\nAbstract: Neutrophils have long been regarded as short-lived effector cells responsible for clearing pathogens and inducing acute inflammation. However, emerging evidence has reshaped this paradigm, revealing remarkable neutrophil plasticity and their capacity to actively orchestrate tissue repair and regeneration. Neutrophils modulate angiogenesis, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, macrophage polarization, and resolution of inflammation. Distinct neutrophil subsets-including pro-inflammatory and pro-resolving phenotypes-have been identified, highlighting their dynamic adaptation to microenvironmental cues. Notably, neutrophils contribute to vascular network formation through the release of matrix metalloproteinases, growth factors, reactive oxygen species (ROS), neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), and specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs). In the context of biomaterial implantation, neutrophils are the first immune cells to interact with implanted devices, critically shaping the foreign body response (FBR) and influencing downstream regenerative outcomes. While early tissue engineering strategies aimed to suppress neutrophil recruitment, recent advances in immunomodulatory biomaterials seek instead to harness their plasticity. Approaches include promoting timely apoptosis and efferocytosis, regulating reactive oxygen species and NET formation, and directing neutrophil polarization toward pro-regenerative phenotypes. This review discusses current insights into neutrophil heterogeneity, their role in vascularization and tissue regeneration, and emerging biomaterial-based strategies designed to modulate neutrophil responses. Understanding and strategically directing neutrophil behavior may represent a pivotal step toward the development of next-generation regenerative therapies.\n\nID: 42065919\nTitle: Aging-Associated CCL8+ Senescent Macrophages Recruit CCR1+ Neutrophils to Promote NETs Formation and Impair Meningeal Lymphatic Drainage.\nAbstract: Meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) are essential for central nervous system (CNS) waste clearance and brain homeostasis, yet their functional decline during aging remains poorly understood. Here, through integrated single-cell and bulk transcriptomic analyses, we identify a distinct macrophage subset characterized by high CCL8 expression (CCL8\u207a macrophages) that accumulates in aged meninges and exhibits a pronounced senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Trajectory analysis positions CCL8\u207a macrophages at a senescence-associated terminal differentiation state. Mechanistically, CCL8\u207a macrophages engage in pro-inflammatory crosstalk with neutrophils via the CCL8-CCR1 axis, promoting aberrant neutrophil recruitment and excessive neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation within meningeal lymphatic niches. These NETs structurally and functionally impair meningeal lymphatic drainage. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of CCR1 with BX471 or enzymatic degradation of NETs with DNase I restores meningeal lymphatic function and ameliorates spatial learning and memory deficits in aged mice. Notably, CCR1 antagonist BX471 has previously been evaluated in early human clinical trials and shown favorable tolerability, supporting the translational feasibility of targeting this pathway. In addition, machine learning approaches identify a robust predictive gene signature associated with this senescent macrophage phenotype. Collectively, our findings reveal a previously unrecognized macrophage-neutrophil-NETs axis that links meningeal immunosenescence to meningeal lymphatic dysfunction and cognitive decline and may represent a promising therapeutic target for aging-related neurodegenerative disorders.\n\nID: 42041175\nTitle: Corneal Nerves Promote Alkali Burn Repair by Modulating Macrophages and Neutrophils via Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide.\nAbstract: This study aims to investigate the role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in corneal tissue repair in alkali burn and its underlying neuro-immune mechanisms. Mouse corneal nerves were ablated via surgery or resiniferatoxin (RTX) to study their role in tissue healing after an alkali burn. CGRP and its receptor levels were quantified by Western blot and quantitative PCR (qPCR). Alkali-burned corneas were treated topically with CGRP or BIBN-4096. Tissue repair, inflammatory cytokine expression, and immune cell infiltration were subsequently assessed. Macrophages were depleted using PLX5622 to evaluate their effect on healing. Furthermore, mouse macrophages and neutrophils were cultured in vitro, and transcriptomic analysis was performed to elucidate functional and molecular alterations, which were validated experimentally. Corneal nerve ablation significantly delayed corneal alkali burns healing. In alkali burns, corneal nerves released CGRP, leading to elevated CGRP levels in the cornea. Topical CGRP application promoted tissue repair and reduced inflammation, whereas its antagonist BIBN-4096 impeded healing. Macrophage depletion not only delayed repair but also abolished the therapeutic effect of CGRP, indicating that macrophages are crucial for CGRP-mediated repair. Mechanistically, CGRP promoted neutrophil apoptosis and enhanced macrophage apoptosis, efferocytosis, and anti-inflammatory functions via the cAMP-TSP-1 pathway, thereby facilitating tissue repair. This study reveals that in corneal alkali burns, corneal nerves promote tissue repair by secreting CGRP to regulate neuro-immune interactions, providing new insights for the treatment of corneal alkali burns.\n\nID: 41965689\nTitle: GPR30-mediated NETs degradation via Trex1 in heart failure of aged female mice.\nAbstract: BACKGROUND: The occurrence of cardiovascular diseases increases dramatically in postmenopausal aged women. Accumulating evidence has indicated that estrogen protects hearts from cardiovascular diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms was not fully elucidated. This present study was designed to investigate the function of GPR30 in pathological heart failure of aged female mice with the focus of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). METHODS: Transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery was performed to induce heart failure in aged female mice. RNA-seq and flow cytometry were employed to study neutrophils activity during heart failure of aged female mice. Heart function and cardiac fibrosis as well as NETs level were assessed. Reduction of NETs by DNase I administration\u3001 G1 treatment and Trex1 overexpression in macrophage were conducted to elucidate the role of NETs in this pathological process. Co-culture of RAW264.7 macrophages and neutrophils were used to examine the function of Trex1 in macrophage. RESULTS: Our bulk RNA-seq analysis showed that neutrophil migration and neutrophil chemotaxis were markedly enhanced at the early stage of pathological cardiac hypertrophy in aged female hearts. We further demonstrated that NETs generated by these activated neutrophils in aged female myocardium at the late stage were significantly increased following TAC surgery accompanied with the reduction of GPR30 expression. GPR30 agonist G1 treatment preserved cardiac function and reduced myocardial fibrosis in aged female mice with heart failure. To further validate the key role of NETs, DNase I administration markedly enhanced cardiac performance and attenuated cardiac fibrosis with the overall neutrophil reduction in the myocardium. Our in vitro results showed that overexpression of Trex1 in RAW264.1 macrophage enhanced neutrophil NETs clearance, thus indicating that GPR30 activation could increase the exonuclease three prime repair exonuclease 1 (Trex1) expression which may be associated with the reduction of NETs level in hypertrophied hearts. CONCLUSION: NETs generated by neutrophils exacerbate pressure overload\u2013induced heart failure in aged female mice. GPR30 activates Trex1 signaling in macrophage to enhance NTEs degradation and thus attenuates TAC-induced cardiac dysfunction, providing an avenue for the novel therapeutics against cardiac dysfunction in postmenopausal women.\n\nID: 41947008\nTitle: Galectin-9high Neutrophils Exacerbate Radiation-Induced Frailty.\nAbstract: Local radiation injury-induced frailty seriously impacts the quality of life of patients undergoing radiotherapy or nuclear accident casualties and causes a significant medical and economic burden. However, the underlying mechanisms of the frailty remain unknown. In this study, a unique population of hyperactive GAL-9high neutrophils is identified with characteristics of elevated ROS, NETs, and IFN-\u03b3, prolonged lifespan, etc. These neutrophils infiltrate into multiple organs to induce injuries, also disrupt the bone marrow microenvironment, drive sustained bone marrow myeloid-biased differentiation, and resist clearance by bone marrow macrophages, serving as a crucial factor to exacerbate frailty. GAL-9 protein is demonstrated to play a vital role in the regulation of neutrophil hyperactivity. EccDNA shedding after skin radiation injury is shown to activate the JAK1/2-STAT1 pathway in splenic GMP cells, which is a potential origin of GAL-9high neutrophils. In summary, our results highlight the significance of the previously unrecognized hyperactive GAL-9high neutrophils to exacerbate frailty through a 'skin-spleen-bone marrow-multiple organs' axis after local radiation injury.\n\nID: 41938115\nTitle: Beyond adrenal fatigue: reframing the adrenal stress index through neutrophil-mediated glucocorticoid resistance.\nAbstract: The Adrenal Stress Index (ASI) is widely used in functional medicine but dismissed by mainstream endocrinology. Traditionally interpreted as a measure of adrenal secretory capacity, it has been criticized for lacking clinical validity. Yet salivary cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) may offer more than redundant hormone monitoring: they may capture the organism's ability to maintain resilience against chronic inflammation. We propose that the ASI should be reframed not as a test of adrenal \"fatigue,\" but as a candidate biomarker of inflammatory adaptation. Cortisol, bound to corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG), is released at inflamed sites through neutrophil elastase stored in azurophilic granules. Since these granules are formed only at the promyelocyte stage, their depletion under chronic demand leads to neutrophil exhaustion and impaired cortisol delivery. DHEAS, conversely, buffers cortisol's catabolic and immunosuppressive actions and declines with age or persistent stress. The balance between cortisol exposure and DHEAS dynamics, therefore, reflects the efficiency of the HPA-immune-metabolic network rather than adrenal output alone. Flattened diurnal slopes, attenuated cortisol awakening response, evening-predominant DHEAS, and paradoxical elevations of salivary sex steroids under low cortisol/DHEAS conditions illustrate how chronic inflammation reprograms endocrine networks. These profiles align with clinical phenotypes such as frailty, sarcopenia, and metabolic dysfunction. Reframing the ASI as a measure of resilience highlights its potential as a research framework for investigating endocrine-immune adaptation. Standardized ELISA-based protocols, using fixed multi-timepoint daily sampling schemes, supported by LC-MS/MS validation, and the development of composite indices (e.g., cortisol AUC vs. DHEAS trapezoid gradient) may enhance reproducibility and predictive value. If validated in prospective cohorts, the ASI may provide a useful experimental tool for studying systemic adaptation in aging, chronic inflammation, and stress-related disorders. The ASI may provide a framework for investigating interactions between stress and inflammation. By bridging conventional endocrinology with functional perspectives, it may offer a conceptual framework for investigating inflammaging and biological resilience.\n\nID: 41906686\nTitle: Altered neutrophil signalling linked to impaired chemotaxis and increased ROS and NET production in older people with frailty.\nAbstract: Immune function alters with age, and is often accompanied by low-grade inflammation (inflammageing). In individuals with frailty, inflammageing is increased, dysregulating immune function and increasing susceptibility to serious outcomes from infection. In this study, we investigated the changes that take place in human neutrophils during healthy ageing and ageing with frailty (FR) using RNAseq and functional assays. We also compared neutrophil phenotype in frailty with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RNAseq data were analysed using IDEP2 and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). Neutrophil phenotype was assessed for reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) release, chemotaxis, and bacterial killing capacity. Experimental data were analysed by ANOVA in R (v4.5.1). RNAseq identified activation of G-protein coupled receptors, interferon and cytokine receptor signalling, and chemotaxis pathways in frail individuals (n = 10) compared with healthy older (n = 9) and healthy younger people (n = 8, adj. P < 0.05). FR neutrophils expressed more IL-8 receptors (CXCR1 and CXCR2) and CD177 on their surface (n = 5-8, P < 0.05). FR and RA neutrophils released significantly more ROS (n = 6-7) and had impaired chemotaxis (n = 8-9) and bacterial killing capacity (n = 5, P < 0.05) compared with both healthy groups. FR neutrophils also released significantly more NETs in response to LPS (10\u2005ng/ml, n = 6-7, P < 0.05). This work provides novel insight into the altered neutrophil phenotype associated with ageing in good health and ageing with frailty, and highlights similarities between inflammageing in frailty and chronic inflammation in RA. This may be important in the development of therapeutics and/or health management strategies to support healthy living as we age.\n\nID: 41816345\nTitle: Neutrophil and macrophage zonation in liver disease: from spatiotemporal dynamics to advanced computational analysis.\nAbstract: Liver disease progression is profoundly shaped by the spatial and temporal dynamics of innate immune cells, particularly neutrophils and macrophages. Recent advances in single-cell and spatial omics, intravital imaging, and multiplexed histology have revealed how these cells exhibit distinct zonation patterns along the portal-central axis and undergo dynamic reprogramming in response to injury, infection, and metabolic stress. Neutrophils preferentially accumulate in necrotic or pericentral zones, whereas macrophage subsets adopt diverse zonal identities and display remarkable plasticity, collectively orchestrating inflammation and tissue repair. In this review, we consolidate current knowledge on neutrophil and macrophage zonation in liver disease, emphasizing their roles in shaping pathophysiology and clinical outcomes. We also briefly outline how emerging technologies are refining our understanding of immune microanatomy and may pave the way for precision hepatology.\n\nID: 41811699\nTitle: Targeting the Toll-Like Receptor 4 Ameliorates Heart Failure in Aged Mice by Inhibiting the Formation of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps.\nAbstract: Heart failure (HF) is a prevalent cardiovascular condition among the elderly population, with an incidence rate that continues to rise annually, highlighting the urgent need for effective therapeutic interventions. Sustained activation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) may contribute to left ventricular dysfunction and adverse cardiac remodeling through the induction of myocardial inflammation and oxidative stress - pathological processes that closely align with the hallmark features of HF. Preclinical studies in animal models have demonstrated that TLR4 deficiency improves cardiac function in aged mice; however, the precise role and underlying mechanisms of TLR4 in human HF remain poorly understood. This study aims to test the central hypothesis that TLR4 serves as a critical molecular link between chronic inflammation and the pathophysiology of HF. HF was induced in 18-month-old male C57BL/6J mice via continuous subcutaneous infusion of isoproterenol (ISO, 30 mg/kg/day) over a period of 3 weeks. Thereafter, mice received daily intraperitoneal injections of the TLR4 inhibitor TAK-242 (2 mg/kg), deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I, 5 mg/kg), or the peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) inhibitor GSK484 (4 mg/kg) for 7 consecutive days. Cardiac function was assessed using a ultrasound imaging system. HE staining and Masson staining were employed to evaluate myocardial pathological changes and collagen deposition. ELISA was performed to measure serum levels of myeloperoxidase-DNA (MPO-DNA), neutrophil elastase-DNA (NE-DNA), cTnI, NT-proBNP, IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect the co-localization levels of Ly6G with myeloperoxidase (MPO) and citrullinated histone H3 (cit-H3) in myocardial tissue, in order to assess the formation level of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Western blot were utilized to determine the expression level of TLR4 protein. The expression of TLR4 was significantly upregulated in the myocardial tissue of aged HF mice. Inhibition of TLR4 not only markedly improved cardiac function but also alleviated pathological damage to myocardial tissue and reduced collagen fiber deposition. Concurrently, it also decreased the serum levels of MPO-DNA, NE-DNA, NT-proBNP, cTnI, and inflammatory factors. Moreover, the colocalization levels of Ly6G with MPO or cit-H3 in myocardial tissue was also diminished. These findings were consistent with the effects observed following DNase I and GSK484 interventions. Targeting TLR4 can mitigate inflammatory responses and enhance cardiac function in HF mice by inhibiting NETs formation.

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) are among the first responders in the lung following pneumococcal infection and are required for bacterial clearance. However, PMN antimicrobial function declines with age. To identify mechanisms underlying this decline, we performed RNA sequencing on PMNs in the lungs of young and old mice following pulmonary infection with S.\u2009pneumoniae. We observed significant transcriptomic differences across host age. Transcriptional analysis followed by functional validation revealed that in infected mice, PMNs from aged hosts failed to upregulate several effector activities including glycolysis and subsequent mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which are necessary for bacterial killing by PMNs. Conversely, PMNs in aged mice displayed a higher senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) score and upregulated pathways involved in cellular senescence. Follow-up functional characterization found that in uninfected hosts, PMNs in aged mice expressed higher levels of SASP factors IL-10, TNF\u03b1, and ROS, had a lower incidence of apoptosis, and had a higher proportion of cells positive for senescence-associated \u03b2-galactosidase, features of a senescent-like phenotype. Importantly, blocking TNF\u03b1, one of the SASP factors, altered the senescent-like phenotype and boosted the antibacterial activity of PMNs from aged hosts and increased host resistance to S.\u2009pneumoniae pulmonary infection. In conclusion, host aging is associated with altered PMN phenotype, including a shift toward senescent-like energy-deficient cells, which contribute to impaired host defense and represent potential targets for improved interventions against infection in older adults.\n\nID: 41698224\nTitle: Impaired Clearance of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps: How Macrophage Aging Shapes Sepsis.\nAbstract: \n\nID: 41695468\nTitle: Myeloid cell-specific \u03b22-adrenergic receptor deletion improves early cardiac injury resolution via de-repression of Anxa1.\nAbstract: Rationale: Myeloid cells, including neutrophils (Nu), monocytes (Mo) and macrophages (Mac), rapidly accumulate after ischemic cardiac injury where they play integral roles in inflammation and repair. \u03b22-adrenergic receptor (\u03b22AR) signaling regulates numerous facets of immune cell behavior, but its impact on myeloid cell-specific responses to acute cardiac injury is unclear. Methods: Myeloid cell-specific \u03b22AR knockout (LB2) and control mice were subjected to myocardial infarction (MI) with or without prior transplantation with shRNA-modified bone marrow. The impact of myeloid cell-specific \u03b22AR deletion, and mechanistic basis for the effect, were assessed via echocardiography, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, gene expression and efferocytosis analyses. Results: LB2 mice displayed better cardiac function and less fibrotic remodeling post-MI. Despite a similar initial influx of myeloid cell subtypes, by 4 days post-MI LB2 mice had significantly reduced Nu, concurrent with increased Nu-containing Mac, indicating an enhanced efferocytosis capacity. Indeed, the pro-efferocytotic protein annexin A1 (AnxA1) was elevated in several \u03b22AR-deficient myeloid cell types following MI. Mechanistically, we found the expression of several miRs known to repress Anxa1 expression were elevated in response to \u03b22AR stimulation, an effect absent with \u03b22AR deletion, and miR-374b-5p mimic in particular was sufficient to decrease Anxa1 expression. Finally, lentivirus-encoded shRNA was used to induce knockdown of Anxa1 expression in the bone marrow of LB2 mice prior to MI, which reduced Nu efferocytosis in vitro and prevented the ameliorative effects on cardiac fibrosis and function observed with LB2 mice following MI in vivo. Conclusion: Myeloid cell-specific \u03b22AR deletion leads to loss of miR-374b-5p-mediated repression of AnxA1, which allows for enhanced efferocytosis-mediated Nu clearance, thereby limiting infarct expansion and improving post-injury cardiac function and fibrotic remodeling.\n\nID: 41504495\nTitle: ROS Activated NETosis of Bone Marrow CD55+ Intermediate Mature Neutrophils Through HIF1\u03b1-PADI4 Pathway to Initiate Bone Aging.\nAbstract: Neutrophil NETosis is markedly dysregulated in the aging body. Bone marrow serves as the powerhouse of neutrophil differentiation, while the state of neutrophil NETosis therein and its relationship with bone aging remains largely elusive. Moreover, it remains unclear how neutrophil heterogeneity and pro-inflammatory cues within bone marrow synergistically regulate neutrophil NETosis. Here, we find neutrophil NETosis is highly activated in the bone marrow of 3-mon male senescence-accelerated mouse prone 6 (SAMP6), and the released NETs induce BMSCs senescence and impairs their osteogenesis. Further, we verify in vivo NETs-clearance significantly ameliorates bone aging of 3-mon male SAMP6 mice. Next, through scRNA-seq we find a CD55+ intermediate mature neutrophil subset enriching in the 3-mon male SAMP6 bone marrow, characterized by significantly upregulated NETosis. Through cell transfer, we demonstrate this subset directly induces bone aging. Mechanistically, elevated ROS within the bone marrow of SAMP6 integrates with a CD55-primed HIF1\u0251-PADI4 pathway to trigger NETosis, and senescent BMSCs serve as a ROS-producer. In summary, our results demonstrate that activated NETosis in CD55+ intermediate-mature neutrophils plays a key role in initiating bone aging. Also, we uncover the vicious cycle of inflammaging between immune dysregulation and cellular senescence in bone marrow, providing potential targets for osteoporosis treatment.\n\nID: 41239111\nTitle: Targeted clearance of senescent cells alleviates alcohol-associated liver disease by restoring cellular function and immune balance.\nAbstract: The liver is one of the organs most affected by alcohol consumption, and its interaction with aging is particularly significant. Chronic alcohol consumption accelerates liver aging through mechanisms such as oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, and impaired regeneration. It is still unknown whether senescent cell clearance orchestrates innate and adaptive immune responses during the alcohol-induced old liver damage process. To investigate this, we used INK-ATTAC transgenic mice treat with AP20187 (AP) to eliminate p16Ink4a-positive senescent cells in chronic-plus-binge ethanol feeding model. Senescent cell clearance alleviates age-related liver oxidative stress and lipid accumulation in long-term (8wks)-plus-binges mice. Importantly, AP clears senescent cells, promoting M1/M2 macrophage polarization and reducing the expression of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors. In addition, senescent cell clearance mitigates liver injury by reducing CD8+ T cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and neutrophil infiltration, as well as ameliorating immuno-senescence and T cell exhaustion. These findings demonstrate that the clearance of senescent cells influences immune response and contributes to inhibiting immune senescence. This work sheds light on senolytic interventions' being a potential therapeutic avenue for alleviating age-associated pathologies in alcohol related liver disease (ALD) and has the potential for clinical translation.\n\nID: 41132659\nTitle: Neutrophil extracellular traps as therapeutics target in vascular aging.\nAbstract: Blood vessels are critical in systemic aging with arteries stiffening and calcifying due to chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, driving age-related cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In this review, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) -web-like structures composed of decondensed chromatin, histones, and antimicrobial proteins released by neutrophils-are explored as therapeutic targets in vascular aging. NETs are vital for pathogen defense, but their excessive activation leads to inflammation and vascular pathologies, promoting endothelial dysfunction, inflammatory aging, and vascular remodeling in diseases such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, ischemic stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. Increasing evidence supports that modulating NETs through inhibitors or scavengers can reduce inflammatory responses, preserve endothelial integrity, and improve prognosis. As a potential therapeutic target, growing attention has been directed toward exploring the balance between NET induction, inhibition, and degradation.\n\nID: 41123639\nTitle: Heart failure in old hypertensive rats is accompanied by the increase of neutrophil extracellular traps and myeloid-derived suppressor cells.\nAbstract: Arterial hypertension (AH) and heart failure (HF) are age-associated conditions usually accompanied by chronic inflammation. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) are important during inflammation and left ventricular remodeling but their functions in HF are poorly studied. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) that fulfill anti-inflammatory functions are also not studied during HF. The goal of this work is to evaluate the balance between proinflammatory NET-producing neutrophils and anti-inflammatory MDSC in pathogenesis of AH and HF in elder rats. Wistar and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) aged 5 and 16\u00a0months were subjected to cardiodynamic parameters monitoring. NET formation was examined using fluorescence microscopy. MDSC were determined as CD11b/c+-His28+-RP1+/low (granulocytic) and CD11b/c+-His28+-RP1- (monocytic) cells by flow cytometry. Signs of HF were observed at AH: aged Wistar rats had decreased by 20.4\u2009\u00b1\u200915.5% ejection fraction (p\u2009=\u20090.006) compared to young ones, and old SHR by 29.4\u2009\u00b1\u200921% (p\u2009=\u20090.0007). Aged Wistar rats had the level of NET 3.0 times higher (p\u2009=\u20090.03) than young ones; old SHR-2.9 times higher compared to young SHR (p\u2009<\u20090.001). In old SHR the percentage of granulocytic MDSC from the total number of leukocytes in peripheral blood was 3.98 times higher than in young SHR (p\u2009=\u20090.006), and 3.3 times higher than in old Wistar rats (p\u2009=\u20090.01); and monocytic MDSC-4.75 times higher than in young SHR (p\u2009=\u20090.003), and 2.3 times higher than in old Wistar rats (p\u2009=\u20090.04). Here, we show that HF in old rats leads to significant increase of the NET and MDSC amount versus young animals.\n\nID: 40992643\nTitle: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in aging: Trends and clinical implications.\nAbstract: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has emerged as a widely accessible and cost-effective marker of systemic inflammation, derived from routine peripheral blood counts. It has demonstrated clinical relevance across a broad spectrum of conditions, including infections, cardiovascular disease, malignancies, trauma, postoperative complications, and cancer. Aging is associated with a gradual rise in NLR, driven by increasing neutrophil counts and declining lymphocyte numbers, reflecting underlying immunosenescence and systemic inflammation. Elevated NLR in older adults has been linked to greater morbidity and mortality, with higher levels correlating with increased risk, disease severity, and poorer clinical outcomes in age-related conditions. Interestingly, centenarians exhibit a slower age-related increase in NLR compared with non-centenarians, suggesting a more resilient immune system. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on the trajectory of NLR across the human lifespan and its clinical relevance in the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of selected age-related diseases. Additionally, it explores emerging strategies to mitigate age-related NLR increases, including regular physical activity, targeted dietary interventions, and pharmacological approaches. A deeper understanding of NLR dynamics may inform preventive and therapeutic strategies to enhance health outcomes in aging populations.\n\nID: 40948760\nTitle: Mechanisms and therapeutic strategies of macrophages and neutrophils inducing ulcerative colitis progression.\nAbstract: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a kind of chronic inflammatory bowel disease, is driven by dysregulated immune responses involving neutrophils (NEUs) and macrophages. NEUs exacerbate mucosal injury through reactive oxygen species (ROS), neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), proteases, and cytokine interactions, while also exhibiting dual roles in tissue repair. Macrophages contribute to UC progression via M1-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokine release and epithelial barrier disruption, whereas M2 macrophages promote resolution through anti-inflammatory signals (IL-10, TGF-\u03b2) and epithelial regeneration. Clinically, NEU-derived biomarkers predict disease activity and therapeutic response, while macrophage-targeted therapies modulate inflammation. This review summairzes current knowledge on the mechanistic roles of these immune cells in UC pathogenesis and their clinical implications, such as NET inhibition, MMP-9 blockade, and M2 polarization, which hold promise for precision medicine in UC.\n\nID: 40930266\nTitle: Immunometabolic biomarkers of brain aging: Nonlinear association between neutrophil-to-HDL cholesterol ratio and cognitive decline in older adults.\nAbstract: Immune dysregulation and metabolic disturbances contribute to cognitive decline in aging populations. The neutrophil-to-HDL cholesterol ratio (NHR), an emerging immunometabolic biomarker, reflects systemic inflammation and vascular dysfunction. However, its role in predicting cognitive impairment in older adults remains unclear. This study examined the association between NHR and cognitive impairment, explored non-linear patterns, and compared its predictive performance with conventional biomarkers. A total of 2,355 adults aged\u00a0\u2265\u00a060\u00a0years underwent cognitive assessment using standardized neuropsychological tests. Logistic regression evaluated the association between NHR and cognitive impairment, adjusting for demographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) assessed non-linear relationships. Predictive performance was compared using ROC analysis, and machine-learning models were applied to enhance predictive modeling. Higher NHR was significantly associated with cognitive impairment (adjusted OR = 1.14, 95\u00a0% CI: 1.01-1.24, P = 0.031). RCS analysis revealed a non-linear relationship (Pnon-linearity\u00a0=\u00a00.047), with a threshold effect at NHR = 2.517. The association was stable across subgroups. NHR outperformed traditional biomarkers (AUC = 0.602), and logistic regression achieved the highest accuracy (82.9\u00a0%) and F1-score (89.7\u00a0%). NHR serves as a potential immunometabolic biomarker for cognitive impairment in older adults, capturing chronic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction linked to brain aging. The observed non-linear pattern suggests a threshold effect, highlighting the importance of early immunometabolic monitoring. These findings support incorporating immunometabolic markers into psychoneuroimmunology-informed risk assessments for cognitive decline.\n\nID: 40913859\nTitle: Impact of sodium butyrate on lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response in zebrafish.\nAbstract: Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid produced by intestinal bacteria during the fermentation of dietary fibers and has shown potential in modulating inflammatory responses. Herein, we investigated how sodium butyrate exerts dual, dose-dependent regulation of innate immunity using the zebrafish model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation. Our results demonstrated that at low concentrations (3\u00a0mM), sodium butyrate suppressed LPS-driven pro-inflammatory mediators (il1\u03b2, cebp\u03b2, irg1l) while restoring anti-inflammatory and tissue-repair genes (lyz, il8, elf3). Conversely, high doses (30\u00a0mM) amplified inflammatory pathways, highlighting a critical therapeutic balance. Sodium butyrate further attenuated immune cell recruitment, reducing macrophage and neutrophil migration to injury sites by 40-60\u00a0% at 3\u00a0mM and more robustly at 20\u00a0mM. In addition, sodium butyrate modulated chemokine dynamics, e.g., ccl20a.3 suppression, and enhanced genes critical for tissue repair, e.g., anxa2a, s100a10b, and NF-\u03baB signaling. These findings indicate sodium butyrate's dual role as both an anti-inflammatory agent and a potential pro-inflammatory trigger, contingent on concentration. These findings provide seminal information on the sodium butyrate-modulated innate immune response, which will help further explore the molecular role of this chemical. The study also highlights the necessity of precise dosing to harness its therapeutic benefits while avoiding adverse immune activation, offering critical insights for treating inflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 40909291\nTitle: Oxidative stress, DAMPs, and immune cells in acute pancreatitis: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic prospects.\nAbstract: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a gastrointestinal disease characterized by inflammation of the pancreas and is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis of AP involves a complex interplay of cellular and molecular mechanisms, including oxidative stress, damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and the infiltration of various immune cells. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the molecular mechanisms underlying AP, the role of different immune cells in its progression and potential therapeutic perspectives. Oxidative stress, characterized by an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the antioxidant defense system, plays a crucial role in AP. ROS not only contribute to cell necrosis and apoptosis, but also activate immune cells and perpetuate inflammation. DAMPs released from damaged cells activate the innate immune response by interacting with pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), leading to the recruitment of immune cells such as neutrophils, macrophages and dendritic cells. These immune cells further amplify the inflammatory response by releasing cytokines and chemokines. Neutrophils are among the first responders in AP, contributing to both tissue damage and repair, as well as the double-site sword effect of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Other immune cells, including T cells, dendritic cells, mast cells and monocytes/macrophages, are involved in modulating the inflammatory response and tissue repair processes. The balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory immune responses is critical in determining the severity and outcome of AP. A table of targeted drugs or substances available in clinical trials is provided at the end of this paper, with the aim of providing available opportunities for clinical treatment. Nevertheless, precise targeted drugs are still urgently needed in clinical treatment, where more in-depth research is needed.\n\nID: 40898178\nTitle: AXL and MERTK facilitate tissue repair in severe acute pancreatitis via a CCR5-dependent neutrophil and macrophage crosstalk.\nAbstract: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a potentially life-threatening inflammatory disorder of the exocrine pancreas, characterized by massive cell death, which drives the progression and resolution of the disease. However, little is known about the key regulators in the tissue microenvironment that mediate tissue damage and repair. In this study, we discovered that AXL and MERTK in macrophages are responsible for tissue repair and pancreatic inflammation following SAP. Targeted deletion of Axl and Mertk in myeloid cells resulted in impaired phenotypic switch towards pro-resolving macrophage. This impairment is partly due to an accumulation of Cxcr2+ neutrophils and its interaction with Mrc1+/high macrophages likely via CCL4-CCR5 axis. Pancreatic tissue repair was effectively restored by CCR5 inhibition. Collectively, we identify a CCR5-dependent pathway orchestrated by AXL and MERTK in macrophages, which offers a pharmacological target, to promote tissue repair in SAP.\n\nID: 40897261\nTitle: Synergistic association of estimated glucose disposal rate and neutrophil-to-albumin ratio with accelerated biological aging.\nAbstract: Biological age (BA) is a more accurate indicator of aging-related functional decline and disease risk than chronological age (CA). Insulin resistance and chronic inflammation are established hallmarks linked to the aging process; however, their synergistic relationship with biological age acceleration is not yet well understood. To evaluate the independent and synergistic associations of estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), a marker of insulin sensitivity, and neutrophil-to-albumin ratio (NPAR), a reliable marker of systemic inflammation that also captures its impact on metabolic processes, with biological age acceleration estimated by Klemera-Doubal method biological age (KDM-BA) and PhenoAge. We analyzed cross-sectional data from 35,169 U.S. adults aged \u226520\u00a0years in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2010 and 2015-2018. Biological age acceleration was defined as BA exceeding chronological age. Multivariable regression and restricted cubic spline models were used to assess linear and nonlinear associations. We examined the combined association of eGDR and NPAR with aging markers, adjusting for a comprehensive set of demographic, lifestyle, and comorbidity covariates. In fully adjusted models, eGDR was robustly and inversely associated with KDM-BA acceleration (OR per 1-unit increase: 0.69, 95\u00a0% CI: 0.67-0.72). Compared to the lowest tertile, participants in the highest eGDR tertile had a 83\u00a0% lower odds of KDM-BA acceleration (OR\u00a0=\u00a00.17, 95\u00a0% CI: 0.14-0.20). No significant association was observed between eGDR and PhenoAge acceleration. Conversely, higher NPAR was positively associated with acceleration of both KDM-BA (OR per unit increase 1.12, 95\u00a0% CI: 1.10-1.14) and PhenoAge (OR per unit increase 1.27, 95\u00a0% CI: 1.24-1.30). Participants in the highest NPAR tertile exhibited significantly increased odds of accelerated aging compared to the lowest tertile (KDM-BA acceleration OR\u00a0=\u00a01.90, 95\u00a0% CI: 1.53-2.36; PhenoAge acceleration OR\u00a0=\u00a03.39, 95\u00a0% CI: 2.91-3.95). Both biomarkers showed significant nonlinear dose-response relationships with aging outcomes. Notably, combined exposure to low eGDR and high NPAR conferred the greatest risk of accelerated aging, with OR of 5.46 (95\u00a0% CI: 4.60-6.48) for KDM-BA and 2.98 (95\u00a0% CI: 2.46-3.62) for PhenoAge. Subgroup analyses revealed significant heterogeneity, with associations varying by BMI and chronic kidney disease status. Reduced insulin sensitivity and heightened inflammation-nutrition imbalance are independently and synergistically associated with accelerated biological aging. The interplay between eGDR and NPAR, particularly their joint effect, highlights the pivotal role of the metabolic-inflammatory axis in the aging process. These findings suggest that combined monitoring of eGDR and NPAR could be a valuable strategy for early risk stratification and the development of personalized anti-aging interventions.\n\nID: 40864296\nTitle: Impact of exercise on immune cell infiltration in muscle tissue: implications for muscle repair and chronic disease.\nAbstract: Exercise has long been recognized for its systemic health benefits, including modulation of the immune system. Contemporary scientific inquiry has increasingly turned toward understanding the regulatory effects of exercise on immune cell dynamics within muscle tissue, highlighting their potential role in facilitating tissue repair and modulating chronic disease pathways. Following acute bouts of exercise, especially those involving eccentric or high-intensity contractions, muscle fibers experience micro-damage that triggers a well-orchestrated immune response. This phenomenon entails a coordinated, time-sensitive accumulation of immune effector cells-namely neutrophils, macrophages, and T lymphocytes-within compromised muscle tissue. Through the release of immunoregulatory and regenerative mediators like cytokines and growth factors, these cells actively participate in coordinating tissue repair by eliminating cellular debris and resolving inflammation.Macrophage polarization from a pro-inflammatory (M1) to an anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype is particularly crucial in coordinating effective muscle repair and preventing fibrosis. However, dysregulation of this immune response, such as persistent inflammation or impaired immune cell transition, can hinder regeneration and contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic conditions like sarcopenia, insulin resistance, and muscular dystrophies. Moreover, in chronic disease states, immune cell infiltration into muscle may become maladaptive, exacerbating tissue damage and metabolic dysfunction.Regular moderate-intensity exercise appears to modulate this immune infiltration in a way that enhances repair mechanisms while reducing chronic inflammation, highlighting a potential therapeutic avenue for managing muscle-related pathologies. In-depth insight into the molecular and cellular crosstalk between physical activity and immune cell regulation in muscle tissue forms the basis for crafting specialized therapeutic strategies aimed at facilitating muscle regeneration and limiting the development of chronic pathological conditions. Through a detailed evaluation of exercise-elicited immune dynamics, this review underscores the dichotomous functions of immune cell infiltration in supporting muscle regeneration and in contributing to strategies for chronic disease prevention and management.\n\nID: 40795234\nTitle: Individual subsets of alternatively-activated macrophages differentially contribute to tissue repair and the resolution of inflammation.\nAbstract: Although alternatively-activated macrophages (AAM) have been implicated in the resolution of inflammation and tissue repair, their exact role, heterogeneity and origin in vivo remain incompletely defined. Here we show that distinct subsets of macrophages can acquire alternatively activated phenotypes in response to tissue injury where these cellular subsets display contrasting spatiotemporal dynamics and differentially contribute to the resolution of inflammation and tissue repair. By studying a model of cardiotoxin-induced muscle injury, we identify a population of monocyte-derived AAM characterized by expression of arginase-1 (Arg-1) and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (Trem2) that emerged in response to injury and fostered clearance of dying neutrophils and necrotic myofibers as well as the subsequent resolution of inflammation. A second population of AAM, which were marked by robust expression of resistin-like molecule alpha (Relm\u03b1) and mannose receptor C-type 1 (CD206), displayed a predominantly resident character and clustered around capillaries where they coordinated the recruitment of eosinophils as well as the subsequent process of tissue repair. Our data thus indicate a substantial heterogeneity among AAM subsets and help to define their specialized functions and roles during inflammation and tissue repair.\n\nID: 42519318\nTitle: Immunometabolic regulation in gouty arthritis: current evidence, mechanistic insights, and remaining challenges.\nAbstract: Gouty arthritis is driven by monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition and acute activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome-IL-1\u03b2 axis. However, crystal burden alone does not fully explain asymptomatic crystal deposition, recurrent flares, or the self-limiting nature of acute inflammation. Immunometabolism provides a useful perspective for understanding these differences. In macrophages, glycolysis supports pro-IL-1\u03b2 expression and inflammatory mediator production, while tricarboxylic acid cycle remodeling, mitochondrial stress, and reactive oxygen species may contribute to inflammasome activation. In neutrophils, glycolysis sustains rapid effector functions, including chemotaxis, degranulation, ROS production, and neutrophil extracellular trap formation. During later stages, efferocytosis, lipid mediator switching, and mitochondrial adaptation may promote inflammation resolution. Systemic metabolic abnormalities may further influence recurrence susceptibility by altering innate immune responsiveness to MSU crystals. This review summarizes current evidence linking immunometabolic pathways to gouty inflammation and discusses remaining questions regarding cell specificity, temporal sequence, causal relevance, and therapeutic translation.\n\nID: 42429844\nTitle: Redefining Neutrophil Function in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: From Tissue Injury to Immune Resolution.\nAbstract: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation driven by dysregulated immune responses and impaired mucosal homeostasis. Although neutrophils have traditionally been viewed as short-lived pro-inflammatory effector cells that contribute to epithelial injury, emerging evidence indicates that they also possess important pro-resolving and tissue-repairing functions. This narrative mini-review critically evaluates recent advances in understanding neutrophil functional heterogeneity in IBD, with particular emphasis on CD177\u207a neutrophils, neutrophil extracellular trap formation, efferocytosis, and mechanisms involved in immune resolution and mucosal healing. Accumulating data suggest that specialized neutrophil subsets can balance antimicrobial defense with controlled inflammatory signaling, thereby contributing to epithelial protection and restoration of intestinal homeostasis. In parallel, efficient efferocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils by macrophages emerges as a central mechanism promoting resolution of inflammation, whereas impaired clearance sustains chronic inflammatory responses. Recent studies further highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting pro-resolving neutrophil pathways and enhancing efferocytosis; however, most current evidence remains preclinical, and significant challenges persist in translating these findings into human therapies. Collectively, these insights redefine neutrophils as dynamic regulators of both tissue injury and immune resolution in IBD and support the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring immune balance and durable mucosal healing.\n\nID: 42267417\nTitle: Inflammasome-Primed Neutrophils Aggravate Atherosclerosis in Cigarette Smoking.\nAbstract: Cigarette smoking (CS) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease through chronic inflammation. While its pulmonary effects are well established, the mechanisms linking lung inflammation to vascular injury remain unclear. Because neutrophils are early responders to CS-induced inflammation, we hypothesized that they drive systemic myelopoiesis and vascular inflammation via alarmin release. Wild-type mice were exposed to inhaled CS or orally administered cigarette smoke extract. Immune cell composition in lung, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, blood, spleen, and bone marrow was assessed by flow cytometry. Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell proliferation, reactive oxygen species production, and S100A8/A9 (S100 calcium-binding protein A8/A9) release were quantified. Atherosclerosis progression was evaluated in Ldlr-/- (low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient) mice fed a Western diet and treated with cigarette smoke extract. To define the role of neutrophil-derived S100A8/A9, bone marrow transplantation was performed using S100a9-/- or wild-type donors. CS exposure increased circulating monocytes and neutrophils through enhanced bone marrow myelopoiesis and elevated reactive oxygen species-dependent S100A8/A9 release. Oral cigarette smoke extract reproduced these effects, indicating direct activation of neutrophils independent of pulmonary inflammation or lipid changes. In Ldlr-/- mice, cigarette smoke extract accelerated atherosclerosis by promoting infiltration of inflammasome-primed neutrophils, increasing IL-1\u03b2 (interleukin 1 beta) release, and impairing macrophage efferocytosis. Hematopoietic S100a9 deletion normalized myelopoiesis and reduced vascular inflammation and plaque burden. Ingested CS components directly activate neutrophils to release S100A8/A9, triggering myelopoiesis and vascular inflammation. These findings reveal that tobacco's cardiovascular toxicity extends beyond inhalation, implicating oral exposure as a driver of systemic inflammation and atherogenesis.\n\nID: 42196603\nTitle: Effects of Inhaled Corticosteroids and Long-Acting \u03b22-Agonists on Efferocytosis and Inflammatory Cell Survival: An In Vitro Study Relevant to COPD and Lung Cancer.\nAbstract: Efferocytosis-the tightly regulated clearance of apoptotic cells by phagocytes-maintains tissue homeostasis and is impaired in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), where it contributes to persistent inflammation and increases the risk of comorbidities, including lung cancer. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting \u03b22 agonists (LABAs) are cornerstones of COPD therapy, but their effects on efferocytosis and on the COPD-lung cancer interface are incompletely understood. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether the ICS fluticasone propionate and the LABA salmeterol xinafoate, alone or in combination at clinically informed concentrations (10-8-10-6 M; 10-4 M reserved for cytotoxicity screening), modulate efferocytic capacity and inflammatory cell survival across diverse phagocyte models. We performed standardized in vitro efferocytosis assays using murine peritoneal and alveolar macrophages, the murine macrophage line J774A.1, PMA-differentiated human THP-1 macrophages, human blood-derived neutrophils, and the human alveolar adenocarcinoma cell line A549. Apoptosis was induced in Jurkat T cells by UV irradiation (100 mJ/cm2) and in murine thymocytes by dexamethasone (1 \u00b5M, 4 h); apoptotic and necrotic populations were characterized by annexin-V/propidium iodide and Sytox Green/Hoechst H-33342 staining. Peritoneal macrophages showed the highest efferocytic activity (~75%), followed by J774A.1 (~75% at 24 h), THP-1 (~30% at 2 h; ~60% at 24 h), alveolar macrophages (~40%), and A549 cells (<20%). Neither fluticasone nor salmeterol, individually or in combination, significantly altered efferocytic capacity in any phagocyte tested (all ANOVA p > 0.26). Fluticasone (10-8 and 10-6 M) significantly improved 24 h neutrophil survival and reduced early apoptosis (p < 0.05) but did not translate this survival benefit into enhanced efferocytosis. Salmeterol was cytotoxic at 10-4 M and inactive at 10-8-10-6 M. These findings indicate that the established anti-inflammatory benefits of ICS/LABA in COPD do not extend to augmentation of efferocytosis in this acute, serum-free in vitro setting and that pharmacological restoration of efferocytosis in COPD-a defect implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of comorbid lung cancer-will likely require strategies targeting the efferocytic machinery itself (e.g., MerTK, Rac-1, MFG-E8) rather than relying on current inhaled therapy.\n\nID: 42183275\nTitle: Neutrophil efferocytosis in chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases: mechanistic insights and therapeutic potential.\nAbstract: Efferocytosis-the phagocytic clearance of apoptotic cells-is central to tissue homeostasis and the active resolution of inflammation. Although its mechanistic basis and disease relevance have been studied in isolation, no review has comprehensively integrated neutrophil efferocytosis mechanisms, their pathophysiological roles across major chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases, and natural product-based therapeutic strategies-a gap this work addresses. We systematically describe the efferocytic recognition cascade, encompassing find-me signals, eat-me signals (including phosphatidylserine and the underappreciated plasminogen/M6P-IGF2R axis), and don't-eat-me checkpoints (CD47-SIRP\u03b1). We clarify that efferocytosis is not restricted to M2-polarized macrophages-M0 and M1 macrophages also participate-but that polarization state critically determines the pro-resolving coupling of downstream signaling. We analyze shared and disease-specific efferocytic defect mechanisms in inflammatory bowel disease, chronic gastritis, NAFLD/NASH, and pancreatitis, identifying IL-10R signaling failure, receptor shedding, CD47 upregulation, and SPM deficiency as convergent pathological nodes. Against this backdrop, we critically evaluate natural product strategies-flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, polysaccharides, and omega-3 fatty acids-targeting these nodes, with explicit grading of evidence levels. Translational challenges and the potential of single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and patient-derived organoid co-culture systems are also discussed. Restoring efferocytosis represents a mechanistically grounded therapeutic frontier for chronic gastrointestinal disease.\n\nID: 42054454\nTitle: A robust adhesive microneedle for oral infections therapy via synergistic antibacterial and neutrophil-macrophage axis immunomodulation.\nAbstract: Oral infectious diseases are challenging to treat, as conventional therapies struggle to maintain effective drug levels and simultaneously address both infection and immune dysregulation. To address this, we developed a mussel-inspired microneedle patch (PCA@FeCO MN) by incorporating Fe3(CO)12 into a caffeic acid-grafted polyvinyl alcohol network. This design overcomes existing barriers through a dual-adhesion mechanism: a catechol-metal coordination network for strong chemical bonding and an optimized taper geometry for mechanical interlocking in wet oral tissues. Upon near-infrared irradiation, PCA@FeCO MN activates a photothermal-ferroptosis-gas therapy cascade, synergistically eradicating pathogens. Crucially, this strategy also disrupts the inflammation cycle by steering neutrophils toward function activation, timely apoptosis and boosting macrophage efferocytosis. In both rat and beagle dog models of oral infections, PCA@FeCO MN achieved robust tissue adhesion, highly efficient synergistic antibacterial activity, and precise immunomodulation, demonstrating its promising therapeutic potential for future clinical translation.\n\nID: 41855258\nTitle: Elucidation of a potent pro-resolving mediator of inflammation resolution via human neutrophil-vascular endothelial cell interactions.\nAbstract: The acute inflammatory response is a highly coordinated programmed sequence that enables neutrophils to transmigrate from venules into tissues. Ideally self-limited, the active resolution phase produces specialized molecules that stimulate resolution and prevent collateral tissue damage from excessive neutrophil infiltration. The superfamily of pro-resolving molecules is termed specialized pro-resolving mediators including the essential polyunsaturated fatty acid-derived lipoxins, resolvins, protectins, and maresins. Given the intimate interactions between leukocytes and endothelial cells in inflammation resolution, we investigated whether unique bioactive molecules carrying pro-resolution properties are biosynthesized by human neutrophils coincubated with activated vascular endothelial cells. Using metabololipidomics, we found that human coronary aortic valves from transplants contained 13-hydroxy-4Z,7Z,10Z,14E,16Z,19Z-docosahexaenoic acid (13-HDHA) and inflammatory eicosanoids. We report that human endothelial cells convert DHA to 13-HDHA which in turn is transformed by human neutrophils to a previously unknown bioactive product 4,13-dihydroxy-docosahexaenoic acid. This structure was established using physical properties including tandem-mass spectrometry, UV-analysis, and conversion of deuterated substrate. Biosynthesis of this product during neutrophil-endothelial coincubations involved bidirectional crosstalk between neutrophil 5-LOX and endothelial COX-2 as confirmed using isolated recombinant enzymes. The bioactive 4S,13R-dihydroxy-5E,7Z,10Z,14E,16Z,19Z-docosahexaenoic acid, also produced by M2-like macrophages and mononuclear cells, demonstrated potent nanomolar pro-resolving actions including, a) limiting neutrophil infiltration into mouse air pouch, b) reducing human neutrophil adherence to endothelial cells, c) protecting endothelial cell from senescence, and d) stimulating human macrophage efferocytosis of senescent red blood cells. These results provide evidence for a previously unknown pro-resolving pathway and molecule biosynthesized from DHA via cyclooxygenase-2-5-lipoxygenase during leukocyte crosstalk with the vasculature.\n\nID: 41789514\nTitle: Piezoelectric Ceramic Nanofiber Aerogels Direct Neutrophil Fate for Diabetic Tissue Regeneration.\nAbstract: The dysregulation of neutrophil death pathways constitutes a critical barrier to diabetic tissue regeneration, in which pyroptosis perpetuates chronic inflammation while apoptosis promotes tissue homeostasis. However, achieving reliable control over neutrophil death patterns to tune inflammation and repair processes remains a major challenge. Here, we develop a multifunctional aerogel scaffold based on piezoelectric ceramic nanofibers to synergistically direct neutrophil fate. Specifically, (K,Na)NbO3 piezoceramics are incorporated into gelatin/polylactic acid nanofiber membranes, homogenized via high-speed fragmentation, and freeze-dried to form a porous aerogel scaffold. Conjugation with the retinoid derivative peretinoin yields the final piezoelectric ceramic nanofiber aerogel (KAP). Peretinoin released from KAP suppresses caspase-3-mediated cleavage of gasdermin E (GSDME), switching neutrophil death from pyroptosis to apoptosis. Meanwhile, upon ultrasound activation, KAP generates surface potentials to enhance macrophage phagocytic capacity via calcium influx and lysosomal acidification. This dual mechano-chemical approach promotes efferocytosis and reprograms macrophages toward a pro-regenerative phenotype, thereby breaking the cycle of chronic inflammation in diabetic microenvironments. In diabetic rodent models, KAP significantly accelerates the healing of both soft and hard tissues. This study presents a piezoelectric ceramic nanofiber aerogel that offers a potential therapeutic approach for diabetic tissue regeneration.\n\nID: 41738282\nTitle: Irgm1 Improves Postinfarction Cardiac Repair by Promoting Neutrophil Clearance and Efferocytosis.\nAbstract: Delayed neutrophil clearance after myocardial infarction (MI) significantly disrupts the myocardial microenvironment, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Macrophage-mediated efferocytosis of infiltrating neutrophils is crucial for resolving inflammation and restoring homeostasis post-MI. However, the specific regulatory mechanisms governing neutrophil clearance and efferocytosis remain undefined. This study demonstrates a significant correlation between increased IRGM expression in peripheral blood neutrophils of patients with MI and improved prognostic outcomes. Neutrophil-specific deletion of Irgm1 exacerbates cardiac dysfunction, impairs post-MI repair, and hinders neutrophil clearance and efferocytosis. Irgm1 deficiency further delays neutrophil clearance in the heart and extends neutrophil survival. Mechanistically, Irgm1 directly interacts with PDIA3, promoting its autophagic degradation, which in turn activates the endoplasmic reticulum stress/NF-\u03baB/caspase-3 pathway to facilitate neutrophil clearance and efferocytosis. In vivo administration of LOC14 significantly reduces tissue damage and enhances cardiac recovery in neutrophil Irgm1-deficient mice post-MI. These findings highlight the pivotal role of the Irgm1-PDIA3 axis in facilitating cardiac repair post-MI by promoting neutrophil clearance. LOC14 may serve as a potential therapeutic agent to enhance cardiac function post-MI, particularly in Irgm1-deficient cases.\n\nID: 41701526\nTitle: Inflammation- and resolution-programmed myeloid circuits govern therapeutic resistance in epithelial and mesenchymal triple-negative breast cancer.\nAbstract: Single-cell analysis of human triple-negative breast cancer revealed heterogeneous macrophage populations with opposing phenotypes - proinflammatory and proresolution of inflammation. Paradoxically, both subsets accumulated in therapy-refractory residual tumors but showed inverse correlations across patients, suggesting mutually exclusive resistance mechanisms. Inflammatory macrophages localized preferentially to epithelial-like tumors, whereas proresolution macrophages were enriched in mesenchymal-like tumors. Mouse models faithfully recapitulated these patterns. After chemoimmunotherapy, mesenchymal-like tumors expanded proresolution macrophages through phagocytosis/efferocytosis, \u03c9-3 fatty acid uptake, and resolvin production. Macrophage-secreted C1q emerged as a principal antagonist of T cell function by targeting mitochondria and inducing metabolic dysfunction. By contrast, epithelial-like tumors accumulated inflammatory macrophages and neutrophils that produced prostaglandins via \u03c9-6 fatty acid pathways. Knocking down ELOVL5 - an elongase involved in \u03c9-3 and \u03c9-6 metabolism - mitigated both neutrophil- and macrophage-mediated immunosuppression. These distinct axes, driven by dysregulated inflammation and resolution programs, converged to undermine therapy-induced immunosurveillance; however, targeting their shared upstream regulators may overcome these resistance mechanisms.\n\nID: 41671732\nTitle: Intrinsic neutrophil dysregulation in programmed cell death promotes neutrophilic inflammation in cystic fibrosis.\nAbstract: Neutrophilic inflammation constitutes a major pathology in cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-shortening genetic disorder. However, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here we report our investigation into CF neutrophil recruitment, apoptosis and clearance to determine if any neutrophil intrinsic defect is involved in the pathogenesis. Congenic fluorescent wild-type (WT) and CF mice were generated and used as bone marrow (BM) donors. Non-fluorescent WT and CF recipients were transplanted with a mixture of EGFP-WT and DsRed-CF BM cells and interrogated for neutrophil recruitment and apoptosis in the same lung after zymosan challenge. Additionally, ex vivo neutrophil migration and apoptosis were also examined to confirm the in vivo findings. Moreover, DsRed-WT or DsRed-CF BM cells were transfused into non-fluorescent CF recipients that had been intratracheally challenged with zymosan. Percentages of apoptotic cell-laden macrophages in the lungs were compared. The data indicate that CF and WT neutrophils exhibited a similar migratory capacity and were equally recruited to the same lung, regardless of the recipient phenotype. However, CF neutrophils displayed a significantly delayed apoptosis. Such an anomaly was linked to reduced hypochlorous acid production. Moreover, CF macrophages exhibited a significantly higher expression of efferocytosis marker MerTK, and a greater capacity of efferocytosis, implying that macrophage phagocytosis of apoptotic cells is not impaired in this experimental setting. These findings suggest that intrinsically dysregulated programmed cell death affects CF neutrophil fate decision and fuels neutrophilic inflammation in CF lungs.\n\nID: 41557892\nTitle: Plasmin modulates neutrophilic inflammation and alveolar macrophage function, protecting mice from pneumococcal pneumonia.\nAbstract: Accumulating evidence supports the proresolving actions of the plasminogen/plasmin (Plg/Pla) system during inflammation, beyond its classical role in fibrin degradation. Here, we investigated the role of Plg/Pla on key features of inflammation resolution in a murine model of severe pneumococcal pneumonia. High levels of Plg were observed in the airways after infection, accompanied by increased levels of Plg activator inhibitor-1, neutrophil elastase, and Plg degradation fragments as inflammation progressed. Pla treatment of mice infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae decreased neutrophilic infiltration in airways and lungs, accompanied by lower concentrations of the neutrophil chemoattractive chemokines CXCL1 and CXCL2 and the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-1\u03b2. Pla treatment also enhanced neutrophil apoptosis and efferocytosis and slightly reduced bacterial loads in bronchoalveolar lavage. In addition, Pla decreased damage and fibrin deposition in the lungs, improving pneumonia-driven pulmonary mechanical dysfunction and rescuing mice from lethality. Pla-induced resolution of S pneumoniae-evoked inflammation was associated with neutrophil apoptosis, as the caspase-3-specific inhibitor Z-DEVD-FMK blocked Pla-protective actions. In addition to the effects on neutrophils, intranasal instillation of Pla in naive mice increased the number of alveolar macrophages and guided them toward a regulatory phenotype marked by enhanced efferocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils and increased bacterial phagocytosis, ultimately promoting host protection against pneumococcus-induced inflammation and tissue damage. In sum, our findings demonstrate that Pla modulates the lung inflammatory milieu and promotes key proresolving events, namely neutrophil apoptosis and expansion of alveolar macrophage with enhanced efferocytosis and phagocytic abilities, resulting in improved lung function and survival in pneumococcal pneumonia.\n\nID: 41483713\nTitle: Myeloid immune checkpoint blockade overcomes antibiotic resistance in bone infection by enhancing efferocytosis and suppressing MSC PANoptosis.\nAbstract: Antibiotic resistance in bone infection remains a major clinical challenge, leading to persistent inflammation, fibrotic remodeling, and failure of bone regeneration. Emerging evidence suggests that dysregulated immune-stromal interactions play a pivotal role in this process; however, how antibiotic resistance disrupts the osteoimmune balance-particularly the crosstalk between macrophages and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-remains unclear. Here, we integrated single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of peri-infectious bone tissue with in vivo and in vitro experiments to delineate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying osteoimmune alterations associated with antibiotic resistance. Analysis of 101,336 single cells identified 10 major cell types, including macrophages, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and neutrophils. Resistant infection induced M1-polarized macrophages with defective efferocytosis and MSCs undergoing PANoptosis and impaired osteogenic differentiation. Ligand-receptor analysis highlighted the SIRP\u03b1-Thbs1-CD47 axis as a key mediator of dysfunctional macrophage-MSC communication. Functional inhibition of CD47 signaling restored efferocytosis, mitigated antibiotic resistance-associated inflammation, and promoted bone regeneration. Collectively, these findings define a macrophage checkpoint-mediated mechanism linking immune dysregulation to osteogenic failure in antibiotic-resistant bone infection and suggest that targeting this axis may offer a promising therapeutic strategy.\n\nID: 41408789\nTitle: Less Inflammatory Debris, Improved Immunity from Immune Detox: A New Perspective on the Benefits of Exercise in Chronic Disease.\nAbstract: The immunological benefits of exercise are commonly attributed to its immune-boosting effects such as the release of exercise-induced factors (e.g., exerkines) and activation of anti-inflammatory molecules. However, this may not fully explain its benefits in chronic inflammatory conditions. We propose a complementary view whereby exercise potentially functions as a biological detoxifier by removing harmful immunological debris such as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), senescent cells, dysfunctional mitochondria and pro-inflammatory extracellular vesicles (EVs) that drive chronic immune activation. We highlight key mechanisms by which exercise may reduce or remove these harmful signals, including autophagy and mitophagy activation, enhanced efferocytosis, reduced senescence burden, and modulation of EV cargo. This \"immune detox\" model may help explain the clinical benefits of exercise in conditions where the immune system is overactivated, not deficient. It shifts the narrative from immune boosting to restoring immune balance, and could have potentially important implications for biomarker discovery and personalized exercise prescriptions in chronic disease.\n\nID: 41325670\nTitle: Neutrophils and periodontitis: From pathological mechanisms to therapeutic opportunities.\nAbstract: Periodontitis (PD) is a prevalent inflammatory disease causing gingival destruction and alveolar bone loss. Neutrophils dominate periodontal lesions and, while essential for host defense, become pathogenic when dysregulated. Their hyperactivated antimicrobial functions-phagocytosis, oxidative burst, degranulation, and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation-drive oxidative stress, protease release, and aberrant NETosis, leading to tissue and bone damage. Cytokines, chemokines, microbial virulence factors, and aging further shape neutrophil responses, but chronic overactivation remains central to disease progression. This review summarizes recent insights into neutrophil-mediated mechanisms in PD and discusses emerging immunopharmacological interventions. Direct approaches include inhibitors of integrins, chemokine receptors, elastase, matrix metalloproteinases, and peptidyl arginine deiminase 4, as well as NET-scavenging nanocapsules and mitochondrial ROS inhibitors. Indirect strategies aim to modulate cytokine signaling or disrupt neutrophil crosstalk with osteoclasts and T helper cells. Novel candidates such as specialized pro-resolving mediators, stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles, senolytics, and D-mannose show particular promise in preclinical studies. Collectively, neutrophils are increasingly recognized not only as pathological drivers of PD but also as promising therapeutic targets. A deeper understanding of neutrophil biology and immunomodulatory approaches may pave the way for innovative treatments in periodontitis and related inflammatory conditions.\n\nID: 41290006\nTitle: Aging changes the mechanism that underlies JAK2 modulation of neutrophil function.\nAbstract: Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) has been linked to various neutrophil functions, but the intracellular mechanisms underlying its modulation are unknown. Neutrophils are essential cells for host defense. Neutrophil effector functions include migration, neutrophil extracellular trap production (NETosis), reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and degranulation. The goal of this study was to elucidate the signaling mechanism through which JAK2 modulates neutrophil function and the effect of aging on this pathway. We hypothesized that JAK2-mediated modulation changes the molecular mechanisms associated with neutrophil function in an age-dependent manner. Neutrophils from young (3\u2009mo) and aged (\u226522 mo) male and female C57BL/6J mice were isolated, treated with a JAK2 inhibitor (AZD1480) or a pan-JAK inhibitor (baricitinib), and stimulated with PMA. Functional assays were conducted to assess migration, degranulation, NETosis, and metabolism. Mass spectrometry and Luminex assays provided proteomic and cytokine profiles. Our data showed that JAK2 promotes migration via membrane composition and actin remodeling, with age-dependent shifts in chemokine secretion. JAK2 primes ROS production by altering NADPH oxidase components, which contributes to NET production. JAK2 influences degranulation through actin remodeling. While aged neutrophils display impaired ROS-granule release, both young and aged neutrophils have distinct JAK-dependent release of granule contents. Metabolically, JAK2 enhances pentose phosphate pathway activity in young neutrophils and decreases glycogen breakdown in aged cells. These findings reveal mechanisms by which JAK2 modulates neutrophil function and suggest that organismal age plays a role in this modulation.\n\nID: 41263577\nTitle: Bidirectional neutrophil-macrophage interactions as therapeutic leverage points in sepsis.\nAbstract: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition driven by a dysregulated host response to infection, in which the innate immune axis-particularly the crosstalk between neutrophils and macrophages-plays a central role in dictating disease trajectory. This review delineates the functional, metabolic, and spatial characteristics of these two phagocytic cell types and highlights their bidirectional interactions across distinct immunological phases of sepsis. Multiple intercellular conduits, including extracellular vesicles, cytokine-chemokine axes, extracellular traps, and efferocytosis, mediate context-specific reprogramming of effector states, with extracellular vesicle cargo and trap degradation products emerging as diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Advances in nanomedicine now enable phase-specific manipulation of this myeloid crosstalk, attenuating pathogenic inflammation in the early phase and restoring antimicrobial competence during immunosuppression. Dissecting the spatiotemporal, metabolic, and molecular logic of neutrophil-macrophage communication offers a framework for precision immunomodulation in sepsis, with potential to recalibrate the immune landscape toward controlled inflammation and durable resolution.\n\nID: 41206959\nTitle: The aryl hydrocarbon receptor promotes the resolution of pulmonary neutrophilia via regulation of macrophage efferocytosis.\nAbstract: Cigarette smoke is the primary cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), an incurable condition characterized by irreversible airflow obstruction and alveolar destruction driven by chronic inflammation of the lungs and airways. The inflammatory response caused by cigarette smoke is typified by the recruitment of innate and adaptive immune cells to the lung. Paradoxically, many of these immune cells are functionally impaired by smoke. Notable among these are lung macrophages, which have reduced ability to clear apoptotic lung epithelial cells and neutrophils by efferocytosis when exposed to cigarette smoke. Lung macrophages may express the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a receptor/transcription factor highly expressed in barrier organs including the lungs. The AhR protects against the damaging effects of cigarette smoke by attenuating pulmonary neutrophilia via an unknown mechanism. We used our preclinical cigarette smoke models, mutant AhR mice and techniques such as flow cytometry, Western blot and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to show that the AhR promotes the resolution of cigarette smoke-induced inflammation in mice via enhanced efferocytosis. Moreover, the ability of macrophages to engulf apoptotic neutrophils in the lungs is due to a non-genomic AhR pathway that involves signaling through the IL-10/JAK/STAT pathway. Finally, we show that the non-toxic endogenous AhR ligand FICZ promotes macrophage uptake of neutrophils. Taken together, these results support the importance of AhR activity in mediating its anti-inflammatory functions in response to cigarette smoke. Further investigation of the precise mechanisms by which the AhR exerts its anti-inflammatory function may open the possibility for therapeutic agents to treat chronic inflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 41203762\nTitle: Age affects the immune system more than a moderate surgical trauma and anesthesia.\nAbstract: The effectiveness of the immune system decreases with increasing age. This process is known as immunosenescence. Recent studies showed the influence of aging on neutrophil granulocytes (PMNs) and T-cells, with the extent of the influence appearing to depend on various co-factors (such as the primary diseases of a patient). In this study, the PMNs and T-cells of younger and older adult patients were tested for their immunoreactivity before and after an operation in order to examine the consequences of the aging process on the moderately triggered immune system. Whole blood was taken from young patients (aged 18-65 years) and old patients (>\u200965 years) before and one day after an operation. Previous illnesses and medication intake were taken from the patient's file. PMNs and T-cells were isolated. Immunoassays, live cell imaging (LCI) and flow cytometric examinations (FACS) were performed in order to assess certain properties of the PMNs (chemotactic migration, ROS production, NET formation, change of surface epitopes), their expression of adhesion molecules as well as their cell viability. In addition, the blood samples were subjected to a laboratory chemical examination. Above all during the initial LCI observation period (<\u200940\u00a0min), the PMNs of old patients covered longer distances than those of young patients. NETosis, ROS production and surface antigen expression were influenced neither by age nor by the surgical procedure. Regardless of age, PMNs\u00b4 ROS production started earlier 24\u00a0h after the operation compared to the pre OP values. By labeling the translocator protein (TSPO), it was demonstrated that mitochondrial release occurs only during suicidal NETosis. Old patients showed significantly more TSPO-labeled mitrochondria per PMN. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly increased in older patients. The share of CD28- and CD8-positive cells was increased in younger patients. All patients showed postoperative leukocytosis caused by an increase in monocytes and PMNs, which was independent of the extent of the trauma. Only young patients showed a postoperative increase in lymphocytes. Old patients had higher IL-6 levels than young patients. The operation did not lead to any increases in the IL-6 and CRP levels. Age influences the function of PMNs and T-cells more strongly than a moderate surgical trauma in combination with anaesthesia. The results advance our understanding of the decreasing effectiveness of the immune system in old age.\n\nID: 41124277\nTitle: Specialized proresolving mediator-loaded extracellular vesicles mitigate pulmonary inflammation.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as versatile carriers of therapeutic cargo, including nucleic acids, proteins, and small molecules. However, their potential to deliver bioactive lipid mediators remains largely unexplored. Here, we present a novel synthetic biology-based strategy to selectively load EVs with proresolving lipid mediators of the resolvin D- and E-series by coexpressing the resolvin biosynthetic enzymes cyclooxygenase 2, 5-lipoxygenase, and 15-lipoxygenase using a custom-designed multigene expression vector. Human embryonic kidney 293\u2009T cells transfected with the multigene expression vector and cultured in the presence of fatty acid free bovine serum albumen-complexed docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and aspirin produced multiple members of the resolvin D, aspirin-triggered resolvin D-series, and resolvin E1 and E2, along with their biosynthetic precursors, which were subsequently packaged into EVs (referred to as resolvin EVs). Resolvin EVs attenuated neutrophil adhesion to endothelial cells both under static and flow conditions and preserved endothelial barrier integrity by upregulating VE-cadherin. In macrophages, resolvin EVs suppressed nuclear factor \u03baB reporter activity and the release of IL6 and TNF\u03b1. Effects of resolvin EVs on endothelial permeability and macrophage activation were abrogated by pharmacologic inhibition of EV uptake using nystatin and cytochalasin D. Furthermore, resolvin EVs enhanced efferocytosis in THP-1-derived macrophages compared to control EVs. Notably, postinjury administration of resolvin EVs attenuated pulmonary inflammation in lipopolysaccharide-treated mice without inducing systemic or pulmonary toxicity. Together, these findings establish a novel, scalable platform for generating resolvin-loaded EVs and highlight their therapeutic potential for acute lung injury and other chronic inflammatory disorders.\n\nID: 41002050\nTitle: Resolved versus uncontrolled inflammation: A mathematical model to decipher the role of innate immunity.\nAbstract: Understanding the impact of neutrophils and macrophages in the dynamic outcome of resolution vs uncontrolled response is still an open debate. Here, we develop a mathematical model that describe the dynamic of the innate immune response after acute damage. Our model includes all the described processes that mediate this response, including the regulatory mechanisms carried out by type 2 macrophages. Additionally, we estimate the resolution indices to quantify the efficiency of resolution mechanisms by controlling the initial expansion of neutrophils and/or the subsequent contraction kinetics of the cell response. We predict that the partial reduction of neutrophil influx and the increase of type 1 macrophage-mediated efferocytosis rate are the best strategies to control the neutrophil initial expansion. On the other hand, the partial reduction of type 1 macrophage cell influx or the increase of neutrophil apoptosis rate are predicted as good strategies to accelerate the neutrophils decay during the contraction phase of the response.\n\nID: 40963039\nTitle: Selenium and Selenoproteins in Neutrophil Functions.\nAbstract: Neutrophils are innate immune cells, whose activation leads to extensive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the activation of NADPH oxidases (NOXs). ROS plays a pivotal role in modulating neutrophil functions, including phagocytosis, migration, release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), activation of proinflammatory signaling pathways, and apoptosis. Selenium is an essential micronutrient antioxidant that exhibits biological functions through its translational incorporation as the 21st amino acid selenocysteine. With their diverse enzymatic activities, selenium and selenoproteins partake in the modulation of immune cell activities through regulating multiple cellular functions, including redox balance and antioxidant defense. Given the critical role of ROS in neutrophil function, selenium and selenoproteins are likely to modulate neutrophil activities through regulating both redox-dependent and -independent signaling pathways. Here, we review the current understanding of the role of selenium and selenoproteins in regulating neutrophil functions.\n\nID: 40962443\nTitle: [Research progress on the role of macrophages in neutrophilic asthma].\nAbstract: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airway involving various cellular players. Among the different phenotypes of asthma, neutrophilic asthma is often associated with severe airway inflammation and a notable resistance to corticosteroid treatment. Macrophages, as innate immune cells, play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of neutrophilic asthma. They regulate neutrophil recruitment and activation to promote the progression of airway inflammation. During this process, macrophages also undergo changes in aspects such as efferocytosis. We reviewed the recent research progresses regarding the role of macrophages in the pathogenesis of neutrophilic asthma, aiming to provide valuable insights for future studies in this area.\n\nID: 42150286\nTitle: Skull bone marrow-derived IL-10+VEGF-\u03b1+neutrophils exert neuroprotective effects in aged TBI.\nAbstract: Aging increases the risk and worsens the prognosis of traumatic brain injury. Neutrophils contribute to the secondary neuroinflammatory response after TBI. Nevertheless, the biological functions and underlying mechanisms contributing to the age-related heterogeneity of neutrophils in elderly individuals with TBI remain inadequately understood. The study identified a unique neutrophil subpopulation with elevated IL-10 expression, functionally enriched in young TBI tissues. CellChat analysis revealed significant intercellular communication between IL-10+neutrophils and endothelial cells, with elevated expression of Vegfa. GO/KEGG analysis exhibit characteristics associated with reducing inflammatory responses, inhibiting oxidative stress, promoting angiogenesis and tissue remodeling. The IL-10 Ab intervention led to a deterioration in neurological outcomes in young TBI. SCENIC analysis demonstrated that the transcription factor NR2C2 regulates the distinct neutrophils. Transplantation experiments using GFP+ mouse bone marrow indicated that it could be a source of skull bone marrow. Transcriptome sequencing confirmed that phenotypic changes in dHL-60 cells, following NR2C2 overexpression, activate signaling pathways involved in Complement and coagulation cascades Immune, Hematopoietic cell lineage Immune, Jak STAT and Toll like receptor. The regulation of NR2C2 was achieved through siRNA knockdown technology to mitigate the effects of NO-prednisolone. NR2C2 overexpression, induced by NO-prednisolone, leads to the production of IL-10+VEGF-\u03b1+neutrophils in the brain tissue of aged mice with TBI, resulting in improved blood-brain barrier integrity, reduced pathological changes in brain tissue injury, inhibition of neuroinflammation, and significant enhancement of neurobehavioral function. CONCLUSION: This study explored the role of a specific subset of skull-derived IL-10+VEGF-\u03b1+neutrophils in TBI, with an emphasis on age-related immune cell heterogeneity. The findings indicate that these neutrophils exhibit anti-inflammatory and reparative properties, and are associated with the transcription factor NR2C2 and the potential therapeutic agent NO-prednisolone. This research provides potential interventions for treating TBI in the aging population.\n\nID: 42130014\nTitle: Neutrophil-Delivered Dual Stimuli-Responsive Cisplatin/Quercetin Nanodrugs for Breast Cancer Resistance Reversal.\nAbstract: Cisplatin (CDDP) resistance remains a formidable obstacle in breast cancer treatment. To address this challenge, we engineered a neutrophil-mediated co-delivery system loaded with a Pt(IV) prodrug (Pt-HPBA) and quercetin (QC). A pH/glutathione (GSH)-dual-responsive nanodrug (Pt-HE@QC/NPs) was constructed via co-assembly of Pt-HPBA and QC. The resulting nanodrugs exhibited high drug loading capacity, maintained excellent colloidal stability under physiological conditions, and rapidly disassembled within the tumor microenvironment, enabling controlled drug release. These nanodrugs were then internalized by neutrophils to form a bio-hybrid delivery system (Pt-HE@QC/NEs). In vitro, Pt-HE@QC/NPs enhanced cellular uptake and exhibited potent cytotoxicity against cisplatin-resistant 4T1/DDP cells. The nanodrug reversed chemoresistance through multiple synergistic mechanisms: inducing mitochondrial dysfunction and reducing intracellular ATP levels to suppress efflux transporter activity; depleting GSH via phenylboronate ester cleavage and Pt(IV) reduction to amplify oxidative stress; and inhibiting GST-\u03c0 and GPX4 activities to potentiate platinum-induced nuclear toxicity. In vivo, Pt-HE@QC/NEs demonstrated superior tumor-targeting capability and achieved remarkable tumor growth inhibition (TGI: 88.7%). Moreover, this treatment alleviated immunosuppression by triggering immunogenic cell death, enhancing CD8+ T cell infiltration, promoting M1 macrophage polarization, and elevating pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Notably, systemic toxicity was significantly reduced compared to free CDDP. Collectively, this neutrophil-driven, dual-responsive nanoplatform represents a promising strategy for overcoming cisplatin resistance in breast cancer.\n\nID: 41979915\nTitle: Phenotype of Tear Leukocytes in Seasonal Ocular Allergy and Their Potential Impacts on Ocular Surface Inflammation.\nAbstract: Under normal physiological conditions, tear polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) collected from the ocular surface after prolonged eye closure at night exhibit a distinct phenotype from circulating PMNs. While leukocytes have been previously observed in tears of individuals suffering from ocular allergies, limited knowledge exists on tear PMNs activation. This pilot study aims to investigate the phenotype of tear PMNs collected from participants with seasonal ocular allergy. Ten participants experiencing symptoms of ocular allergy were recruited and age- and gender-matched with 10\u00a0healthy participants. Participants were asked to collect cells using a gentle eyewash protocol immediately following a full night of sleep in the morning on Day 1 and at the end of the day on Day 2. After cell count, tear leukocytes were activated with N-Formyl-Methionyl-Leucyl-Phenylalanine (fMLP) or left unstimulated. Samples were stained with antibodies against degranulation markers (CD66b, CD63), adhesion markers (CD11b, CD54), eosinophil marker (CD193), and aging marker (CD184), and analysed by flow cytometry. Significantly more tear leukocytes were collected after a night of sleep from participants with ocular allergy compared to healthy participants (p\u2009=\u20090.024), while there was no difference in late afternoon collections. Tear PMNs from ocular allergy patients also exhibited a less activated baseline phenotype but a higher activation potential in response to fMLP. This study indicates that the ocular environment in seasonal allergy affects the recruitment and activation of tear PMNs. Further research is needed to understand the role of tear leukocytes in ocular surface homeostasis and inflammation.\n\nID: 41923153\nTitle: The cGAS-STING pathway in senescence and aging-related diseases: mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities.\nAbstract: The cGAS-STING pathway acts as a critical molecular hub connecting genomic instability with cellular senescence. Functioning as a key regulator of the innate immune system, this pathway detects aberrant cytoplasmic DNA to activate downstream inflammatory responses, thereby playing a pivotal role in aging-related diseases. This review systematically explores the core mechanisms by which the cGAS-STING pathway regulates cellular senescence, emphasizing its role in triggering senescence through the recognition of DNA damage signals (e.g., oxidative stress, telomere dysfunction) and promoting paracrine senescence effects via the production and release of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). We focus on the crosstalk between this pathway and current research hotspots, including the hypoxic microenvironment, ammonia-induced cell death, neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, and macrophage polarization, uncovering its intricate molecular network in cellular senescence regulation. Moreover, this review provides an in-depth analysis of the cGAS-STING pathway's pathological contributions and molecular mechanisms in aging-related diseases, along with a summary of potential therapeutic strategies targeting this pathway, based on recent advances. These findings provide a critical theoretical framework for understanding cellular senescence mechanisms and advancing anti-aging interventions.\n\nID: 41655726\nTitle: Buyang Huanwu Decoction attenuates vascular aging by suppressing the pathway of neutrophil extracellular trap formation via modulation of the HMGB1/TLR4/p38 signaling pathway.\nAbstract: Vascular aging is a significant driver of age-related cardiovascular diseases, in which the immune-inflammatory response driven by excessive formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is a core process accelerating this progression. Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BHD) is a classic traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula widely used for treating cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, but whether it acts through modulating NET-driven vascular aging is unknown. This study aims to investigate the mechanism by which BHD delays vascular aging, focusing on the NETs formation pathway. Based on a D-galactose-induced aging mouse model, this study focused on neutrophils and combined transcriptomics, network pharmacology and molecular biology methods to explore the mechanism of BHD in delaying vascular aging. The present study identified 23 major chemical constituents in BHD and demonstrated its efficacy in ameliorating aging phenotypes in a D-galactose-induced aging mouse model. BHD treatment significantly alleviated aortic structural degeneration, reduced oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokine levels, and downregulated key senescence markers including p16 and p21. Integrated multi-omics analysis implicated NET suppression as a primary mechanism underlying the anti-aging benefits of BHD. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments confirmed that BHD inhibits NETosis by modulating the HMGB1/TLR4/p38 signaling pathway, leading to reduced expression of critical NET components. Notably, HMGB1 overexpression partially reversed the inhibitory effects of BHD on NETosis, establishing HMGB1 as a key effector molecule. For the first time, our findings unveil a novel mechanism whereby BHD alleviates vascular aging by modulating the immune microenvironment through inhibition of the HMGB1-TLR4-p38-NETs cascade. These findings provide a novel immunomodulatory perspective on BHD and highlight its potential as a holistic therapeutic strategy against vascular aging.\n\nID: 41460435\nTitle: NETosis in Alzheimer's Disease: Understanding the Role of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) in Neuroinflammation and Disease Pathogenesis.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease of the elderly and the sixth leading cause of death. Various risk factors are responsible for the disease, including aging, vascular disorders, head trauma, infection, genetics, and environmental conditions. Amyloid beta (A\u03b2) and neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) build-up lead to the generation of free radicals, which in turn cause oxidative stress and neuroinflammation that further cause synaptic and mitochondrial dysfunction. These inflammatory responses primarily stem from the overactivation of microglial and astroglial cells, producing cytokines and chemokines. However, immune cell migration has also been observed in the central nervous system (CNS) via blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, in which neutrophils have grabbed more attention due to their migration and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in AD brain parenchyma and blood vessels, causing chronic neuroinflammation and neuronal damage via NETosis. NETosis is the immune system's defense mechanism in which neutrophils form web-like structures to trap pathogens and digest them with their antimicrobial and cytotoxic peptides and release inflammatory cytokines. Neutrophils and NETs have been observed in many studies surrounding A\u03b2 plaques in the brain parenchyma and cerebral blood vessels, causing neuronal tissue damage and AD progression. The ongoing research advocates that by targeting conventional A\u03b2 plaques and tau build-up, managing neuroinflammation, particularly caused by NETosis, may delay the onset or reduce its progression. In the growing health care scenario, to avoid any side effects and the cost of the present discovered drugs, the focus should be on organic or natural components/compounds for which phytochemicals will be the best to target NETosis, as they have many medicinal properties like anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and immunomodulatory. This review focuses on understanding the molecular association between neuroinflammation in NETs and AD progression and the role of plant-derived constituents in tackling the NETosis-induced AD progression.\n\nID: 41178687\nTitle: CD300lf Regulates Neutrophil Aging and Periodontal Immune Homeostasis.\nAbstract: Immune alterations, such as neutrophil dysfunction, significantly affect the progression and outcome of periodontitis, a prevalent inflammatory disease. Despite this, the molecular mechanisms driving neutrophil dysregulation in periodontitis remain poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrate that CD300lf, a critical immune regulator, is markedly downregulated in neutrophils from a periodontitis mouse model and human patients. The loss of CD300lf accelerates neutrophil aging, as evidenced by increased reactive oxygen species production, the senescence-associated secretory phenotype with elevated IL-1\u03b2 and S100A8/A9 levels, and heightened neutrophil extracellular trap formation. Mechanistically, CD300lf deficiency leads to MyD88 upregulation, indicating a shift toward a proinflammatory state. Inhibition of MyD88 effectively reduces periodontal inflammation in CD300lf-deficient mice. Furthermore, targeting CD300lf with its known ligand ceramide alleviates periodontitis and mitigates the aging phenotype of neutrophils. These findings underscore the critical role of the CD300lf/MyD88 axis in neutrophil homeostasis and suggest that modulation of CD300lf through ceramide presents a promising therapeutic strategy for periodontitis.\n\nID: 40971811\nTitle: N-formyl methionine peptide-driven neutrophil activation in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.\nAbstract: Neutrophil activation is heightened in inflammatory myopathies and associated with disease activity, yet its mechanisms remain unclear. This study explores the role of N-formyl methionine (fMET) in formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1)-mediated neutrophil activation in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), focusing on dermatomyositis (DM) and inclusion body myositis (IBM). Plasma from IBM (n\u2009=\u200946), DM (n\u2009=\u200940) and healthy controls (n\u2009=\u200940) was analysed for fMET, calprotectin, neutrophil elastase DNA (NE-DNA) and cytokines using ELISA. Neutrophil markers CD11b and CD66b were assessed by flow cytometry following plasma stimulation with or without FPR1 inhibition. Correlation analyses were performed between fMET, muscle strength (MMT8) and neutrophil activation markers. DM and IBM patients had significantly higher plasma fMET levels than controls (P\u2009<\u20090.0001 for DM; P\u2009=\u20090.0002 for IBM). Median fMET levels were 13\u2009719\u2009pg/ml (75th percentile: 17\u2009236\u2009pg/ml) for IBM, 14\u2009780\u2009pg/ml (75th percentile: 17\u2009631\u2009pg/ml) for DM and 8449\u2009pg/ml (75th percentile: 12\u2009632\u2009pg/ml) for controls. fMET correlated inversely with MMT8 in antibody-negative IBM (r\u2009=\u2009-0.53, P\u2009=\u20090.02). Calprotectin was elevated in DM (P\u2009=\u20090.01) but not IBM; NE-DNA complexes were increased in both DM (P\u2009=\u20090.03) and IBM (P\u2009<\u20090.0001). FPR1 inhibition significantly reduced plasma-induced neutrophil activation in DM (P\u2009<\u20090.0001) and IBM (P\u2009=\u20090.0012), restoring CD66b and partially CD11b to control levels. Our findings show that fMET-FPR1 signalling drives neutrophil activation in DM and IBM, promoting inflammation and muscle damage. Targeting this pathway may offer a novel IIM therapy.\n\nID: 40445608\nTitle: PMN recruitment in inflammatory lung injury models follows classical transendothelial migration paradigms requiring PECAM-1 and CD99.\nAbstract: Immune cells are recruited to sites of inflammation in a stepwise process involving a symphony of signals and receptors. In the systemic circulation, the step at which immune cells migrate out of the blood and across the endothelium, transendothelial migration, occurs via homophilic interactions between leukocyte PECAM-1 and CD99 and endothelial cell PECAM-1 and CD99. Previous work showed that rolling and adhesion of immune cells in the lung vasculature does not follow the classical paradigm of inflammatory recruitment; however, the transmigration step of this process has largely gone understudied. In this study, we demonstrate that polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) use PECAM-1 and CD99 when transmigrating in response to murine chemical, bacterial, and ischemia/reperfusion lung injury (IRI). We demonstrate that recruitment of PMNs in response to both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria is PECAM-1- and CD99-dependent. We implemented a method of intravital microscopy (IVM) of the pulmonary vasculature after IRI, with which we directly visualized and quantified transmigration. We demonstrate, in real time, that PMN enter the alveoli by crossing alveolar capillaries. Because PMNs are known to be independent mediators of both tissue damage and resolution of inflammation, we tested these effective blocking antibodies for survival effects in models of 50-60% mortality, but found none. In summary, our study shows that the classical transmigration protein interactions are necessary for the transmigration of PMNs into the airspace during response to four distinct inflammatory stimuli.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Previous studies have shown that neutrophil extravasation in the lung was selectin-independent and the requirement for leukocyte integrins was stimulus-dependent. This study demonstrates that PECAM-1 and CD99 are required for PMN transmigration during chemical, bacterial, and ischemia/reperfusion lung inflammation. We show directly in real time, using intravital microscopy, that neutrophils extravasate from alveolar capillaries. Blocking antibodies against PECAM-1 or CD99 prevented transmigration into the lung airspace, just as they prevent transmigration in the systemic circulation.\n\nID: 40073809\nTitle: Nicotinamide mononucleotide supplementation ameliorates testicular damage induced by ischemia-reperfusion through reshaping macrophage and neutrophil inflammatory properties.\nAbstract: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is the main pathophysiology of testicular torsion-detorsion (T/D). However, there is no safe and effective treatment for testicular I/R injury. The levels of NAD+ related genes were measured in the sham group, I/R\u00a0+\u00a0saline-treated group, and I/R\u00a0+\u00a0NMN-treated group by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). Testicular NAD+, Malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were evaluated. The markers of testicular function, including sperm quality, testosterone secretion, and the number of germ cells, were compared between groups. The reactive oxygen species (ROS), apoptosis, and immune cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression of inflammatory genes, germ cell markers, and the phosphorylation of p65 and STAT3 were assessed by qRT-PCR, immunofluorescence, and western blot, respectively. In this study, we analyzed the therapeutic potentials of NMN supplementation in testicular injury induced by torsion-detorsion in mice. NMN supplementation could increase testicular NAD+ content, increase serum testosterone levels, prevent Leydig cell and germ cell injury, and improve sperm quantity. Mechanistically, NMN supplementation relieved the sharply hostile immune microenvironment. Specifically, NMN supplementation could mitigate the oxidative stress and cell apoptosis in the I/R injured testes, downregulate the protein expression of p-p65 and p-STAT3 in inflammatory pathways, limit the excessive activation of inflammatory responses in testicular tissues, and reshape the inflammatory properties of macrophages and neutrophils. The beneficial effects of NMN supplementation indicated that boosting NAD+ may be a promising and safe strategy to improve clinical outcomes in I/R-induced testicular damage.\n\nID: 40027178\nTitle: Ceramide Complex Ameliorates Metabolically Driven Neutrophil Senescence by Regulating Apoptosis via the cGAS-STING Pathway.\nAbstract: Background: Population aging is increasingly recognized as a major global challenge. Researchers have identified a correlation between aging and immunosenescence, leading to dysfunction of the immune system. As a crucial component of the innate immune system, age-related changes in neutrophils have garnered significant attention from researchers, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the senescence status and potential mechanisms of neutrophils, and to identify targets for delaying or even reversing senescence. Methods: Blood routine tests and Luminex Multiplex Cytokine Analysis were employed to assess inflammation levels in mice. Flow cytometry and an agarose chemotaxis model were used to evaluate baseline biological functions and stress responses of neutrophils. Transmission electron microscopy and flow cytometry were utilized to compare mitochondrial ultrastructure and function. Metabolomic analysis was performed to examine metabolic patterns. qPCR, Western blotting, and flow cytometry were used to investigate the potential mechanisms of ceramide intervention on neutrophils. Results: Our findings indicate that aged mice exhibit considerable variability in delayed apoptosis among bone marrow neutrophils, alongside a notable reduction in baseline functionality and stress response capabilities. Metabolomic analysis revealed a marked decrease in ceramide levels within aged neutrophils. In vitro ceramide intervention revitalized neutrophil functionality and partially inhibited delayed apoptosis, facilitating the efficient elimination of senescent neutrophils. The underlying mechanism behind these effects might be attributed to ceramide's modulation of mitochondrial permeability, which in turn influences the activation of the cGAS-STING pathway, as well as its regulatory role in maintaining the equilibrium of pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein levels. Conclusions: This investigation proficiently assessed neutrophil senescence in terms of both biological functionalities and intrinsic diversity, while concurrently exploring the feasibility and primary mechanisms through which ceramide intervention impacts neutrophil senescence at the levels of signaling pathways, protein expression, and cellular microarchitecture. These findings provide novel insights into evaluating and potentially intervening in immune senescence, with implications for organismal aging.\n\nID: 39819982\nTitle: The impact of aging on neutrophil functions and the contribution to periodontitis.\nAbstract: The increasing aging population and aging-associated diseases have become a global issue for decades. People over 65 show an increased prevalence and greater severity of periodontitis, which poses threats to overall health. Studies have demonstrated a significant association between aging and the dysfunction of neutrophils, critical cells in the early stages of periodontitis, and their crosstalk with macrophages and T and B lymphocytes to establish the periodontal lesion. Neutrophils differentiate and mature in the bone marrow before entering the circulation; during an infection, they are recruited to infected tissues guided by the signal from chemokines and cytokines to eliminate invading pathogens. Neutrophils are crucial in maintaining a balanced response between host and microbes to prevent periodontal diseases in periodontal tissues. The impacts of aging on neutrophils' chemotaxis, anti-microbial function, cell activation, and lifespan result in impaired neutrophil functions and excessive neutrophil activation, which could influence periodontitis course. We summarize the roles of neutrophils in periodontal diseases and the aging-related impacts on neutrophil functional responses. We also explore the underlying mechanisms that can contribute to periodontitis manifestation in aging. This review could help us better understand the pathogenesis of periodontitis, which could offer novel therapeutic targets for periodontitis.\n\nID: 39815038\nTitle: Lung endothelial cell senescence impairs barrier function and promotes neutrophil adhesion and migration.\nAbstract: Cellular senescence contributes to inflammation and organ dysfunction during aging. While this process is generally characterized by irreversible cell cycle arrest, its morphological features and functional impacts vary in different cells from various organs. In this study, we examined the expression of multiple senescent markers in the lungs of young and aged humans and mice, as well as in mouse lung endothelial cells cultured with a senescence inducer, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), or doxorubicin (DOXO). We detected increased levels of p21, \u03b3H2AX, and SA-\u03b2-Gal and decreased Ki-67 and Lamin B1 in aged lungs and senescent lung endothelial cells. Importantly, the expression of senescent markers was associated with an inflammatory response in aged mouse lungs characterized by neutrophil infiltration, increased expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), and decreased protein levels of VE-cadherin and ZO-1. As the latter two are critical constituents of endothelial cell-cell junctions, we hypothesized that their decreased expression could lead to compromised junction barrier integrity. Indeed, senescent endothelial cells (ECs) exhibited impaired barrier properties, as measured by increased permeability to solutes of small size (3-kD) and albumin (70-kD). When co-cultured with neutrophils, senescent ECs and their supernatant promoted neutrophil chemotaxis and trans-endothelial migration. Taken together, our results suggest that lung EC senescence weakens cell-cell junctions, impairs barrier function, and promotes neutrophil adhesion and migration, which may contribute to the development of inflammation and related pathologies in the lungs during aging.\n\nID: 38630168\nTitle: ROS-Induced Gingival Fibroblast Senescence: Implications in Exacerbating Inflammatory Responses in Periodontal Disease.\nAbstract: Periodontal disease is the pathological outcome of the overwhelming inflammation in periodontal tissue. Cellular senescence has been associated with chronic inflammation in several diseases. However, the role of cellular senescence in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease remained unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role and the mechanism of cellular senescence in periodontal disease. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we first found the upregulated level of cellular senescence in fibroblasts and endothelial cells from inflamed gingival tissue. Subsequently, human gingival fibroblasts isolated from healthy and inflamed gingival tissues were labeled as H-GFs and I-GFs, respectively. Compared to H-GFs, I-GFs exhibited a distinct cellular senescence phenotype, including an increased proportion of senescence-associated \u03b2-galactosidase (SA-\u03b2-gal) positive cells, enlarged cell morphology, and significant upregulation of p16INK4A expression. We further observed increased cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) activity, mitochondrial ROS, and DNA damage of I-GFs. These phenotypes could be reversed by ROS scavenger NAC, which suggested the cause of cellular senescence in I-GFs. The migration and proliferation assay showed the decreased activity of I-GFs while the gene expression of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors such as IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, TGF-\u03b2, and IL-8 was all significantly increased. Finally, we found that supernatants of I-GF culture induced more neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation and drove macrophage polarization toward the CD86-positive M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype. Altogether, our findings implicate that, in the inflamed gingiva, human gingival fibroblasts acquire a senescent phenotype due to oxidative stress-induced DNA and mitochondrial damage, which in turn activate neutrophils and macrophages through the secretion of SASP factors.\n\nID: 38178102\nTitle: Age-dependent inflammatory response is altered in an ex vivo model of bacterial pneumonia.\nAbstract: Aging is associated with an increased incidence and mortality of Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced pneumonias. This might be partly due to age-dependent increases in inflammatory mediators, referred to as inflamm-aging and a decline in immune functions, known as immunosenescence. Still, the impact of dysregulated immune responses on lung infection during aging is poorly understood. Here, we aimed to mimic inflamm-aging using ex vivo precision-cut lung slices (PCLS) and neutrophils - as important effector cells of innate immunity - from young and old mice and investigated the influence of aging on inflammation upon infection with P. aeruginosa bacteria. Murine PCLS were infected with the P. aeruginosa standard lab strain PAO1 and a clinical P. aeruginosa isolate D61. After infection, whole-transcriptome analysis of the tissue as well as cytokine expression in supernatants and tissue lysates were performed. Responses of isolated neutrophils towards the bacteria were investigated by quantifying neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, cytokine secretion, and analyzing expression of surface activation markers using flow cytometry. Inflamm-aging was observed by transcriptome analysis, showing an enrichment of biological processes related to inflammation, innate immune response, and chemotaxis in uninfected PCLS of old compared with young mice. Upon P. aeruginosa infection, the age-dependent pro-inflammatory response was even further promoted as shown by increased production of cytokines and chemokines such as IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, CXCL1, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-17A. In neutrophil cultures, aging did not influence NET formation or cytokine secretion during P. aeruginosa infection. However, expression of receptors associated with inflammatory responses such as complement, adhesion, phagocytosis, and degranulation was lower in neutrophils stimulated with bacteria from old mice as compared to young animals. By using PCLS and neutrophils from young and old mice as immunocompetent ex vivo test systems, we could mimic dysregulated immune responses upon aging on levels of gene expression, cytokine production, and receptor expression. The results furthermore reflect the exacerbation of inflammation upon P. aeruginosa lung infection as a result of inflamm-aging in old age.\n\nID: 37939820\nTitle: Aberrant immune programming in neutrophils in cystic fibrosis.\nAbstract: Cystic fibrosis is a life-shortening genetic disorder, caused by mutations in the gene that encodes cystic fibrosis transmembrane-conductance regulator, a cAMP-activated chloride and bicarbonate channel. Persistent neutrophilic inflammation is a major contributor to cystic fibrosis lung disease. However, how cystic fibrosis transmembrane-conductance regulator loss of function leads to excessive inflammation and its clinical sequela remains incompletely understood. In this study, neutrophils from F508del-CF and healthy control participants were compared for gene transcription. We found that cystic fibrosis circulating neutrophils have a prematurely primed basal state with significantly higher scores for activation, chemotaxis, immune signaling, and pattern recognition. Such an irregular basal state appeared not related to the blood environment and was also observed in neutrophils derived from the F508del-CF HL-60 cell line, indicating an innate characteristic of the phenotype. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) stimulation drastically shifted the transcriptional landscape of healthy control neutrophils toward a robust immune response; however, cystic fibrosis neutrophils were immune-exhausted, reflected by abnormal cell aging and fate determination in gene programming. Moreover, cystic fibrosis sputum neutrophils differed significantly from cystic fibrosis circulating neutrophils in gene transcription with increased inflammatory response, aging, apoptosis, and necrosis, suggesting additional environmental influences on the neutrophils in cystic fibrosis lungs. Taken together, our data indicate that loss of cystic fibrosis transmembrane-conductance regulator function has intrinsic effects on neutrophil immune programming, leading to premature priming and dysregulated response to challenge.\n\nID: 37932771\nTitle: A genomic perspective of the aging human and mouse lung with a focus on immune response and cellular senescence.\nAbstract: The aging lung is a complex process and influenced by various stressors, especially airborne pathogens and xenobiotics. Additionally, a lifetime exposure to antigens results in structural and functional changes of the lung; yet an understanding of the cell type specific responses remains elusive. To gain insight into age-related changes in lung function and inflammaging, we evaluated 89 mouse and 414 individual human lung genomic data sets with a focus on genes mechanistically linked to extracellular matrix (ECM), cellular senescence, immune response and pulmonary surfactant, and we\u00a0interrogated single cell RNAseq data to fingerprint cell type specific changes. We identified 117 and 68 mouse and human genes linked to ECM remodeling which accounted for 46% and 27%, respectively of all ECM coding genes. Furthermore, we identified 73 and 31 mouse and human genes linked to cellular senescence, and the majority code for the senescence associated secretory phenotype. These cytokines, chemokines and growth factors are primarily secreted by macrophages and fibroblasts. Single-cell RNAseq data confirmed age-related induced expression of marker genes of macrophages, neutrophil, eosinophil, dendritic, NK-, CD4+, CD8+-T and B cells in the lung of aged mice. This included the highly significant regulation of 20 genes coding for the CD3-T-cell receptor complex. Conversely, for the human lung we primarily\u00a0observed macrophage and CD4+ and CD8+ marker genes as changed with age. Additionally, we noted an age-related induced expression of marker genes for mouse basal, ciliated, club and goblet cells, while for the human lung, fibroblasts and myofibroblasts marker genes increased with age. Therefore, we infer a change in cellular activity of these cell types with age. Furthermore, we identified predominantly repressed expression of surfactant coding genes, especially the surfactant transporter Abca3, thus highlighting remodeling of surfactant lipids with implications for the production of inflammatory lipids and immune response. We report the genomic landscape of the aging lung and provide a rationale for its growing stiffness and age-related inflammation. By comparing the mouse and human pulmonary genome, we identified important differences between the two species and highlight the complex interplay of inflammaging, senescence and the\u00a0link to ECM remodeling in healthy but aged individuals.\n\nID: 37827807\nTitle: Observational cohort study protocol: neutrophil function and energetics in adults with pneumonia and sepsis - Pneumonia Metabolism in Ageing (PUMA).\nAbstract: Community-acquired pneumonia has high mortality and is associated with significant healthcare costs. In older adults with community-acquired pneumonia neutrophil dysfunction has been identified and is associated with poor outcomes for patients. Immunometabolism is a rapidly developing field which links immune cell function to metabolism. This study aims to explore neutrophil metabolism in community-acquired pneumonia. Pneumonia Metabolism in Ageing study is a prospective observational study recruiting older adults hospitalised with community-acquired pneumonia to examine neutrophil function and metabolic status. Controls will be older adults with no acute illness. The primary endpoint is neutrophil chemotaxis. The study has ethical approval from the Research Ethics Committee Wales, reference 19/WA/0299. This study involves participants who may lack the capacity to consent to research involvement, in this situation, personal or professional assent will be sought. The results from this study will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals and disseminated at local and international conferences.\n\nID: 37695548\nTitle: Single-cell immune profiling of mouse liver aging reveals Cxcl2+ macrophages recruit neutrophils to aggravate liver injury.\nAbstract: Immune cells play a crucial role in liver aging. However, the impact of dynamic changes in the local immune microenvironment on age-related liver injury remains poorly understood. We aimed to characterize intrahepatic immune cells at different ages to investigate key mechanisms associated with liver aging. We carried out single-cell RNA sequencing on mouse liver tissues at 4 different ages, namely, the newborn, suckling, young, and aged stages. The transcriptomic landscape, cellular classification, and intercellular communication were analyzed. We confirmed the findings by multiplex immunofluorescence staining, flow cytometry, in vitro functional experiments, and chimeric animal models. Nine subsets of 89,542 immune cells with unique properties were identified, of which Cxcl2+ macrophages within the monocyte/macrophage subset were preferentially enriched in the aged liver. Cxcl2+ macrophages presented a senescence-associated secretory phenotype and recruited neutrophils to the aged liver through the CXCL2-CXCR2 axis. Through the secretion of IL-1\u03b2 and TNF-\u03b1, Cxcl2+ macrophages stimulated neutrophil extracellular traps formation. Targeting the CXCL2-CXCR2 axis limited the neutrophils migration toward the liver and attenuated age-related liver injury. Moreover, the relationship between Cxcl2+ macrophages and neutrophils in age-related liver injury was further validated by human liver transplantation samples. This in-depth study illustrates that the mechanism of Cxcl2+ macrophage-driven neutrophil activation involves the CXCL2-CXCR2 axis and provides a potential therapeutic strategy for age-related liver injury.\n\nID: 37563596\nTitle: Competing risks analysis for neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio as a predictor of diabetic retinopathy incidence in the Scottish population.\nAbstract: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major sight-threatening microvascular complication in individuals with diabetes. Systemic inflammation combined with oxidative stress is thought to capture most of the complexities involved in the pathology of diabetic retinopathy. A high level of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an indicator of abnormal immune system activity. Current estimates of the association of NLR with diabetes and its complications are almost entirely derived from cross-sectional studies, suggesting that the nature of the reported association may be more diagnostic than prognostic. Therefore, in the present study, we examined the utility of NLR as a biomarker to predict the incidence of DR in the Scottish population. The incidence of DR was defined as the time to the first diagnosis of R1 or above grade in the Scottish retinopathy grading scheme from type 2 diabetes diagnosis. The effect of NLR and its interactions were explored using a competing risks survival model adjusting for other risk factors and accounting for deaths. The Fine and Gray subdistribution hazard model (FGR) was used to predict the effect of NLR on the incidence of DR. We analysed data from 23,531 individuals with complete covariate information. At 10\u00a0years, 8416 (35.8%) had developed DR and 2989 (12.7%) were lost to competing events (death) without developing DR and 12,126 individuals did not have DR. The median (interquartile range) level of NLR was 2.04 (1.5 to 2.7). The optimal NLR cut-off value to predict retinopathy incidence was 3.04. After accounting for competing risks at 10\u00a0years, the cumulative incidence of DR and deaths without DR were 50.7% and 21.9%, respectively. NLR was associated with incident DR in both Cause-specific hazard (CSH\u2009=\u20091.63; 95% CI: 1.28-2.07) and FGR models the subdistribution hazard (sHR\u2009=\u20092.24; 95% CI: 1.70-2.94). Both age and HbA1c were found to modulate the association between NLR and the risk of DR. The current study suggests that NLR has a promising potential to predict DR incidence in the Scottish population, especially in individuals less than 65\u00a0years and in those with well-controlled glycaemic status.\n\nID: 37553691\nTitle: Mesenchymal stem cells shift the pro-inflammatory phenotype of neutrophils to ameliorate acute lung injury.\nAbstract: Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) treatment plays a major role in the management of acute lung injury (ALI), and neutrophils are the initial line of defense against ALI. However, the effect of MSCs on neutrophils in ALI remains mostly unknown. We investigated the characteristics of neutrophils in lung tissue of ALI mice induced by lipopolysaccharide after treatment with MSCs using single-cell RNA sequencing. Neutrophils separated from lung tissue in ALI were co-cultured with MSCs, and then samples were collected for reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometry. During inflammation, six clusters of neutrophils were identified, annotated as activated, aged, and circulatory neutrophils. Activated neutrophils had higher chemotaxis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase scores than aged neutrophils. Circulatory neutrophils occurred mainly in healthy tissue and were characterized by higher expression of Cxcr2 and Sell. Activated neutrophils tended to exhibit higher expression of Cxcl10 and Cd47, and lower expression of Cd24a, while aged neutrophils expressed a lower level of Cd47 and higher level of Cd24a. MSC treatment shifted activated neutrophils toward an aged neutrophil phenotype by upregulating the expression of CD24, thereby inhibiting inflammation by reducing chemotaxis, ROS production, and NADPH oxidase. We identified the immunosuppressive effects of MSCs on the subtype distribution of neutrophils and provided new insight into the therapeutic mechanism of MSC treatment in ALI.\n\nID: 37443778\nTitle: The Inflammatory Contribution of B-Lymphocytes and Neutrophils in Progression to Osteoporosis.\nAbstract: Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by structural deterioration and low bone mass, leading to fractures and significant health complications. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms by which B-lymphocytes and neutrophils contribute to the development of osteoporosis and potential therapeutics targeting these immune mediators to reduce the proinflammatory milieu. B-lymphocytes-typically appreciated for their canonical role in adaptive, humoral immunity-have emerged as critical regulators of bone remodeling. B-lymphocytes communicate with osteoclasts and osteoblasts through various cytokines, including IL-7, RANK, and OPG. In inflammatory conditions, B-lymphocytes promote osteoclast activation and differentiation. However, B-lymphocytes also possess immunomodulatory properties, with regulatory B-lymphocytes (Bregs) secreting TGF-\u03b21 to restrain pathogenic osteoclastogenesis. Neutrophils, the body's most prevalent leukocyte, also contribute to the proinflammatory environment that leads to osteoporotic bone remodeling. In aged individuals, neutrophils display reduced chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and apoptosis. Understanding the delicate interplay between B-lymphocytes and neutrophils in the context of impaired bone metabolism is crucial for targeted therapies for osteoporosis.\n\nID: 37315500\nTitle: Functional responsiveness of in vitro-aged human neutrophils.\nAbstract: Elimination of apoptotic neutrophils by macrophages is as a major step for the resolution of inflammation. However, the fate and the cellular functionality of neutrophils aged in the absence of macrophages are not well documented. Herein, freshly isolated human neutrophils were aged for several days in vitro and then stimulated with agonists for determining their cell responsiveness. In vitro-aged neutrophils were still able to generate reactive oxygen species after 48\u00a0h, exert phagocytosis after 72\u00a0h, and increase their adhesion onto a cell substratum after 48\u00a0h. These data demonstrate that a portion of neutrophils cultivated for several days in vitro are still able to exert biological functions. This opens the possibility that, during inflammation, neutrophils may still respond to agonists, a condition that is likely to occur in vivo when they are not efficiently eliminated by efferocytosis.\n\nID: 37188941\nTitle: Age-induced alterations of granulopoiesis generate atypical neutrophils that aggravate stroke pathology.\nAbstract: Aging accounts for increased risk and dismal outcome of ischemic stroke. Here, we investigated the impact of age-related changes in the immune system on stroke. Upon experimental stroke, compared with young mice, aged mice had increased neutrophil clogging of the ischemic brain microcirculation, leading to worse no-reflow and outcomes. Aged mice showed an enhanced granulopoietic response to stroke that led to the accumulation of CD101+CD62Llo mature and CD177hiCD101loCD62Llo and CD177loCD101loCD62Lhi immature atypical neutrophils in the blood, endowed with increased oxidative stress, phagocytosis and procoagulant features. Production of CXCL3 by CD62Llo neutrophils of the aged had a key role in the development and pathogenicity of aging-associated neutrophils. Hematopoietic stem cell rejuvenation reverted aging-associated neutropoiesis and improved stroke outcome. In elderly patients with ischemic stroke, single-cell proteome profile of blood leukocytes identified CD62Llo neutrophil subsets associated with worse reperfusion and outcome. Our results unveil how stroke in aging leads to a dysregulated emergency granulopoiesis impacting neurological outcome.\n\nID: 42524663\nTitle: Endothelial Senescence-Associated Secretory Signaling Promotes Macrophage Extracellular Traps Formation and Contributes to the Exacerbation of Combined Lung Injury.\nAbstract: Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a common complication of thoracic radiotherapy and can be critically exacerbated by pre-existing pulmonary inflammation, yet the synergistic mechanisms driving this pathology remain elusive. Using a murine model of combined lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and thoracic irradiation (IR), we identified macrophage extracellular traps (METs), a type of web-like chromatin structure released by macrophages, rather than neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), as a prominent pathogenic process. Mechanistically, the combination of LPS and irradiation induced an early endothelial senescence-associated phenotype and a CXC chemokine-enriched secretory profile. These signals engaged macrophage CXCR2, leading to p38/ERK pathway activation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production that contributed to METs formation (METosis). Functionally, METs serve as potential dual-phase mediators, contributing to epithelial barrier disruption during acute injury and promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-like epithelial remodeling, thereby potentially linking early inflammatory damage to subsequent fibrotic progression. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the bioactive compound Cordycepin exerts protective effects by suppressing p38/ERK pathway activation and attenuating METosis. Collectively, these findings support a potential endothelial senescence-associated secretory signaling-METosis axis, providing a novel mechanistic framework and candidate therapeutic strategies for managing high-risk radiation-induced lung injury.\n\nID: 42509849\nTitle: DADA2 as a Model of Monogenic Immune Vasculopathy: From Immunopathogenesis to Precision Therapeutics.\nAbstract: Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (DADA2) is a monogenic autoinflammatory disorder caused by biallelic loss-of-function mutations in the ADA2 gene (formerly CECR1). First described in 2014, DADA2 has emerged as a paradigm for monogenic vasculitis, bridging the gap between primary immunodeficiencies and systemic vasculitides. The disease is characterized by a remarkably broad clinical spectrum encompassing early-onset lacunar stroke, systemic vasculitis resembling polyarteritis nodosa (PAN), hematologic abnormalities ranging from pure red cell aplasia to pancytopenia, humoral immunodeficiency, and variable lymphoproliferation. ADA2, predominantly secreted by myeloid cells, serves dual functions as a growth factor for endothelial cells and a modulator of extracellular adenosine metabolism. Its deficiency leads to a proinflammatory state driven by macrophage dysregulation, excessive tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production, neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, and endothelial dysfunction. The genotype-phenotype correlation is complex, with certain mutations predisposing to vasculitic versus hematologic-predominant phenotypes. Emerging evidence further links ADA2 deficiency to cellular senescence and inflammaging pathways, suggesting a connection between monogenic vasculitis and aging-related biological mechanisms. Anti-TNF therapy has revolutionized disease management, achieving sustained remission in the majority of vasculitic manifestations. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) offers a definitive cure for severe hematologic disease, while gene therapy approaches are under active investigation. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the immunopathogenesis, clinical heterogeneity, genotype-phenotype correlations, multi-omics insights, and evolving precision therapeutic strategies for DADA2, positioning it as an instructive model for understanding monogenic immune vasculopathy. Despite this progress, fundamental questions remain-including the relative contribution of ADA2 enzymatic versus growth factor functions to disease pathogenesis, the mechanisms underlying tissue-specific vulnerability, the basis of differential treatment responsiveness, and the identity of genetic and environmental modifiers that determine phenotypic heterogeneity-that define the frontier of current DADA2 research. This review critically evaluates both established knowledge and persistent uncertainties, positioning DADA2 as an instructive model for the study of monogenic immune vasculopathy.\n\nID: 42076944\nTitle: Spatiotemporally Responsive BEC Nanoplatform Targets Neutrophils to Reprogram Immune Crosstalk and Alleviate Periodontal Inflamm-Ageing in Periodontitis.\nAbstract: To investigate the underlying mechanism of immune cell crosstalk in periodontal inflammatory ageing and to explore potential pharmaceutical interventions for safely reversing this process. Bovine serum albumin-epigallocatechin gallate-copper nanoparticles (BEC NPs) were synthesised by coating a bovine serum albumin membrane onto an epigallocatechin gallate-copper-phenolic network. BEC NPs' regulatory impacts on the fate of neutrophils and macrophages were evaluated through immunofluorescence staining, PCR, RNA sequencing and Western blot analysis. Their anti-senescence effects on gingival fibroblasts were assessed using cell migration assays and SA-\u03b2-gal staining, while an experimental periodontitis rat model was established to validate the in\u00a0vitro findings. Accumulating evidence indicated that pH-responsive nanoparticles alleviated periodontal inflamm-ageing through modulation of neutrophil-macrophage crosstalk. Functional analyses revealed that BEC NPs suppressed neutrophil extracellular trap formation via dual mechanisms: reactive oxygen species scavenging to sustain mitochondrial integrity, and actin cytoskeleton stabilisation to inhibit nuclear translocation of neutrophil elastase and myeloperoxidase. In\u00a0vivo assessment demonstrated that BEC NPs exhibited a favourable biosafety profile and significant therapeutic efficacy in suppressing the progression of periodontal inflammation. This study presents a smart nanosystem-based 'endogenous homeostasis reconstruction' strategy, offering\u00a0programmable, early-stage intervention for periodontal inflamm-ageing with considerable clinical translation prospects.\n\nID: 41934203\nTitle: Murine Progeria Model Exhibits Delayed Fracture Healing With Senescent Phenotype and Dysregulated Immune Response.\nAbstract: An estimated 189 million bone fractures occurred in 2019 making it one of the most globally prevalent injuries. Delayed union or nonunion occurs in up to 15% of normal fractures with higher rates in aged individuals. Preclinical testing supports the translation of novel strategies to promote improved fracture repair, but there is a paucity of small animal models that recapitulate delayed fracture healing. Here, we evaluated the Zmpste24- / - (Z24- / -) murine model of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome as a model of delayed fracture healing. Leveraging the previously characterized Z24- / - phenotype of genomic instability, epigenetic changes, and fragility, we hypothesize that progeria mice will present with significantly delayed fracture healing relative to age-matched wild type (WT) controls. Mice received intramedullary-fixed tibia fractures with healing and immunosenescence evaluated throughout repair. Z24- / - mice demonstrated significantly delayed healing with smaller fracture calli containing more cartilage and less bone relative to WT mice. The fracture healing phenotype of the Z24- / - phenocopied naturally aged mice with increased systemic senescence noted in animals relative to adult WT. Unlike naturally aged mice, Z24- / - also presented with frail bones. Z24- / - showed a dysregulated immune composition, with decreased lymphopoiesis, increased myelopoiesis and neutrophil accumulation. Aspects of the macrophage phenotype in Z24- / - reflected changes in natural aging, but with different systemic T cell responses. Given the Z24- / - progeria mouse model demonstrates the delayed fracture healing phenotype of naturally aged animal at 3 rather than 20 months of age, we suggest this model provides an accelerated model of age-related delayed fracture healing.\n\nID: 41680826\nTitle: Timing-dependent anti-inflammatory effects of empagliflozin in monocyte-derived macrophages from post-myocardial infarct patients with type 2 diabetes.\nAbstract: Inflammation drives early recurrent cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), particularly within 30-90\u00a0days post-discharge. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors such as empagliflozin (EMPA) provide cardiometabolic benefits, but their anti-inflammatory effects and optimal timing after AMI remain unclear. Given the prognostic role of systemic markers like the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, we investigated whether early initiation of EMPA modulates NOD-like receptor protein-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activity and inflammatory responses in monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) from T2DM-AMI patients. Sixty-six participants were randomised to receive EMPA either at discharge (Arm-A) or following a 90-day delay (Arm B). Clinical data and biological samples were collected over 180\u00a0days. CD14+ MDMs and plasma were obtained at days 0, 30, and 90 (EMPA vs. no EMPA), and days 90, 120, and 180 (early vs. delayed). Inflammatory and metabolic markers were assessed using RT-qPCR, luminescence-based caspase-1 and ATP assays, and targeted immunoassays. Early EMPA administration was associated with reduced NLRP3 priming (IL1\u03b2 mRNA) and activation (caspase-1 activity), potentially linked to decreased release of ATP, a danger associated molecular pattern (DAMP). In the absence of EMPA, pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF\u03b1, IL6, MCP1) and M1 macrophage markers (e.g., CD80) either increased or remained unchanged over time. Early EMPA treatment appeared to stabilise or reduce their expression. Markers of cell senescence (p21, IL8, BCL2) were also modulated. Plasma levels of senescence-associated markers (MMP9, OPN, Serpin E1) remained largely unchanged, highlighting the importance of evaluating macrophage-specific responses. Early empagliflozin administration in T2DM-AMI patients was associated with modulation of NLRP3-related inflammatory and senescence pathways in patient-derived macrophages, benefits observed when cells were stimulated ex-vivo with an inflammatory stimulus. These findings provide mechanistic insight into the timing-dependent anti-inflammatory effects of EMPA and underscore its potential for immediate post-AMI use to reduce inflammation and lower residual cardiovascular risk, supporting further clinical investigation.\n\nID: 41320288\nTitle: Amino acid supplementation accelerates resolution of exercise-induced phagocyte infiltration in human skeletal muscle.\nAbstract: Amino acids activate neutrophil phagocytosis and free radical release in vitro. We examined the effects of amino acid supplementation on post-exercise accumulation of myeloperoxidase-positive (MPO\u207a) cells in human skeletal muscle using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover design. Ten young men (22 \u00b1 2.8 years) consumed either amino acids (15 g) or an isocaloric placebo before resistance exercise. Biopsies of the vastus lateralis muscle were collected at baseline, immediately after exercise (0 h), and 24 h post-exercise. Resistance exercise increased MPO\u207a cell infiltration (+161%, p = 0.02) and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels (+66%, p = 0.02) at 24 h. Amino acid supplementation accelerated MPO\u207a cell infiltration to 0 h (+100%, p = 0.03), which diminished by 24 h post-exercise (+53%, p = 0.06). Immunofluorescence co-staining revealed that MPO\u207a cells exhibited markedly higher mitochondrial density (TOM20-labeled) and integrated with the injured regions of adjacent myofibers showing lower mitochondria. Other infiltrating MPO-negative cells also contributed mitochondria to exercised muscle tissue, resulting in an overall ~2-fold increase in mitochondrial content during 24-h recovery (p < 0.001), similar under both supplementation conditions. Cellular senescence marker p16Ink4a mRNA decreased by 58% at 24 h post-exercise, with an earlier reduction observed under amino acid treatment (0 h: -49%, p = 0.05). These findings indicate that amino acid supplementation accelerates the resolution of inflammation in exercised human skeletal muscle. Immunofluorescence evidence further suggests that infiltrating bone marrow-derived cells contribute to fast mitochondrial gains as part of the muscle damage-response following exercise.\n\nID: 41297051\nTitle: Impaired AMP-Dependent Protein Kinase-Mediated Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Clearance by Aged Macrophages in Sepsis-Induced Liver Injury.\nAbstract: This study investigates the role and mechanism of neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) clearance by aged macrophages during sepsis-induced liver injury, as elderly patients show higher rates of organ damage and mortality in sepsis. A sepsis model was established using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in aged (100-week-old) and young mice (8-week-old) to study NET clearance by macrophages, assessing liver injury and inflammatory responses with interventions targeting AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK) and phagocytosis pathways. Additionally, the study included 40 sepsis patients, with 25 elderly (65-89 years) and 15 young (31-62 years) individuals, and collected peripheral blood samples from all for in vitro experiments. In aged mice, a significant increase in 7-day mortality was observed (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.50, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10-5.65, P = .009), alongside heightened inflammatory response and liver injury (histopathology score: 3.2 \u00b1 0.4 vs 2.4 \u00b1 0.6; P = .021), compared to young mice post-CLP. Hepatic NET accumulation markedly increased (mean difference [MD] = 0.43%, 95% CI, 0.25%-0.61%; P < .001), which was attenuated by DNase I-mediated NET inhibition, reducing hepatic enzymes and inflammatory responses. Consistently, transplantation of young bone marrow into aged recipients significantly reduced NET accumulation (MD = -0.33%, 95% CI, -0.43% to -0.22%; P < .001). Mechanistically, the phosphorylation of AMPK (0.68-fold vs young; P < .001) and Ca 2+ /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) was suppressed in aged septic mice. Activation of AMPK via 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) led to a decrease in hepatic NET accumulation (MD = -0.30%, 95% CI, -0.41% to -0.19%; P < .001), improved liver injury (histopathology score: 2.49 \u00b1 0.24 vs 3.07 \u00b1 0.28; P = .006), and reduced 7-day mortality (HR = 0.37, 95% CI, 0.15-0.94, P = .038). Critically, elderly patients exhibited elevated NET-related markers, compounded by suppressed AMPK phosphorylation and impaired NET phagocytosis (MD = -16.34%, 95% CI, -24.31% to -8.37%; P = .002). Aging impairs AMPK-mediated macrophage clearance of NETs in the liver, exacerbating liver inflammatory injury.

Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we profiled the periosteum of 3-, 9-, and 18-month-old mice, which revealed age-related shifts in progenitor, neutrophil, and macrophage subpopulations. Aging reduced mesenchymal cell populations and impaired osteogenic potential, may contribute to periosteal homeostasis. Periosteal progenitor subsets exhibited distinct aging trajectories: Dpt\u207a fibrous-layer cells undergoing early senescence, while Postn\u207a progenitors showed osteogenic decline. Aging also shifted immune profiles, increasing inflammatory Cd38hi macrophages and dysfunctional Nlrp3hi neutrophils, further disrupting bone homeostasis. Notably, aged progenitor cells upregulated CSF1 and CXCL signaling, driving macrophage and neutrophil infiltration, exacerbating bone loss. Our findings provide a comprehensive periosteal aging atlas, revealing aging-associated alterations in progenitor-immune crosstalk that may influence bone tissue dynamics, and offering insights into potential targets for age-related skeletal conditions.\n\nID: 41181156\nTitle: Immune cell regulatory networks in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: mechanistic analysis from innate to adaptive immunity.\nAbstract: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading cause of global mortality, characterized by chronic inflammation and abnormal immune responses in the lower airways. Recent studies have highlighted the critical role of immune function in the pathogenesis and progression of COPD. The disease is characterized by abnormal immune responses in the lower respiratory tract, with its progression associated with the infiltration of innate and adaptive inflammatory immune cells into the lungs and the formation of lymphoid follicles, mediated by cytokines and inflammasomes. Increasing evidence suggests that cell-mediated immunity has an important role in the pathogenesis of COPD, which is characterized by immune senescence leading to decreased resistance to infection, enhanced neutrophil and macrophage activation, T-cell infiltration, and aberrant B-cell activity, all of which combine to contribute to airway inflammation and lung injury in patients with COPD. This review aimed to explore the pivotal role of the immune system in COPD and its therapeutic potential. We reviewed, categorized, and summarized literature on immunity and COPD published in the last five years from Web of Science and PubMed databases. This study elucidates the pivotal role of immune dysregulation in COPD pathogenesis, particularly the dysfunctional transition from innate to adaptive immunity. We delineate how specific immune cell populations-including macrophages, neutrophils, and T-lymphocytes-contribute to sustained airway inflammation and lung injury in COPD through aberrant activation, infiltration, and impaired function. Mechanistically, key features of this dysregulation involve aberrant cytokine signaling pathways and defective resolution of inflammation. These insights reveal potential therapeutic targets for immunomodulatory strategies aimed at interrupting the chronic inflammatory cascade, restoring immune homeostasis, and mitigating infection susceptibility in COPD. Promising approaches highlighted include targeting specific cytokines, modulating macrophage polarization states, and enhancing mucosal immune defenses.\n\nID: 40988084\nTitle: NGAL knockdown alleviated CSE-induced cellular senescence and reduced MMP2 and MMP9 expression in alveolar macrophages through the PI3K/Akt pathway.\nAbstract: The accumulation of senescent cells has been identified as a key factor in the progression of emphysema. This study aimed to explore the role of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), a known mediator of COPD, in CSE-induced senescent alveolar macrophages. NGAL and cellular senescence markers expression were quantified in the lungs of COPD patients. Meanwhile, double-immunofluorescence staining was used to detect NGAL levels in alveolar macrophages of COPD lung tissues. Using a cigarette smoke exposure (CSE)-induced cellular senescence model in MH-S cells. Effects of CSE on NGAL secretion in MH-S cells was assessed by ELISA. Western blotting analysis and SA-\u03b2-galactosidase staining were employed to measure cellular senescence markers. NGAL siRNA was used to knockdown NGAL expression. In addition, CCK8 was used to evaluate cell viability and proliferation of MH-S cells. The activation status of the PI3K/Akt pathway was determined by Western blotting. NGAL was elevated in alveolar macrophages from COPD patients compared with healthy controls. In vitro, exposure to CSE induced senescence in MH-S cells and concurrently increased NGAL secretion. Notably, NGAL knockdown attenuated CSE-induced senescence in MH-S cells via the PI3K/Akt pathway. Furthermore, NGAL downregulation significantly reversed CSE-suppressed MH-S cells proliferation and reduced MMP2 and MMP9 expression in senescent MH-S cells. These findings indicate that CSE upregulates NGAL in alveolar macrophages, thereby driving cellular senescence and MMP production through PI3K/Akt pathway.\n\nID: 40816293\nTitle: DNASE1L3-expressing dendritic cells promote CD8+ T cell function and anti-PD-(L)1 therapy efficacy by degrading neutrophil extracellular traps.\nAbstract: CD8+ T cell exclusion and dysfunction in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are among the most challenging obstacles for anti-PD-(L)1 therapy. Here, we report that tumor-infiltrating dendritic cell (DC)-specific expression of the deoxyribonuclease, DNASE1L3, is positively correlated with favorable outcomes of anti-PD-(L)1 treatment in cancer patients. DNASE1L3 conditional knockout in DCs leads to enhanced tumor growth and diminishes anti-PD-L1 therapeutic efficacy by impairing infiltration and effector functions of CD8+ T cells. Conversely, injection with DNASE1L3 promotes CD8+ T cell infiltration and reduces exhaustion in the TME, significantly retarding tumor growth and enhancing anti-PD-L1 response. DNASE1L3+ DCs can degrade neutrophil extracellular traps that suppress the spatial distribution of CD8+ T cells in tumors, enabling establishment of cytotoxic CD8+ T cell hubs in human cancers. Our findings reveal a role of DC in regulating intratumoral CD8+ T cells and identify DNASE1L3 as a promising target to improve anti-PD-(L)1 therapy.\n\nID: 40593101\nTitle: Hydrogen sulfide aggravates neutrophil infiltration, vascular remodeling and elastase-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm in male mice.\nAbstract: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has an 80% mortality rate upon rupture, with no pharmacological treatments available to slow its progression. Hydrogen sulfide (H\u2082S), produced by cystathionine \u03b3-lyase (CSE), has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but its role in AAA remains unclear. We evaluated the impact of sodium thiosulfate (STS), a clinically relevant H\u2082S donor, in a periadventitial elastase-induced AAA model in normotensive male wild-type and Cse-/- mice. Complementary in vitro studies were conducted on primary human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to assess the effects of STS on proliferation, senescence and cytokine-induced apoptosis. Contrary to expectations, STS dose-dependently aggravate AAA progression by increasing extracellular matrix degradation. Although STS reduces macrophage and lymphocyte infiltration, it enhances neutrophil accumulation, particularly MMP9\u207a neutrophils, and promotes the formation of c-KIT\u207a-MPO\u207a pre-neutrophil clusters. Cse-/- mice show reduced neutrophil infiltration and smaller aneurysms, supporting a pathogenic role of endogenous H\u2082S. STS also impairs VSMC proliferation and induces senescence, blunting compensatory aortic remodeling. H\u2082S, delivered via STS, exacerbates AAA progression under normotensive conditions by promoting neutrophil-driven inflammation and impairing VSMC repair. These findings challenge the assumption that H\u2082S is universally protective in vascular disease and raise caution regarding the therapeutic use of STS in patients at risk for AAA. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening condition where a major blood vessel in the abdomen, called the aorta, becomes weak and bulges. There are currently no medications that can slow down AAA growth, and rupture carries a high risk of death. Hydrogen sulfide (H\u2082S) is a gas naturally produced in the body, that has shown to protect against cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated whether sodium thiosulfate (STS), a H\u2082S-releasing compound, could reduce AAA progression in mice. Unexpectedly, STS worsened AAA. Our findings highlight the need for caution when considering STS as a treatment for patients at risk of AAA.\n\nID: 40091836\nTitle: Adding insult to injury: the spectrum of tubulointerstitial responses in acute kidney injury.\nAbstract: Acute kidney injury (AKI) encompasses pathophysiology ranging from glomerular hypofiltration to tubular cell injury and outflow obstruction. This Review will focus on the tubulointerstitial processes that underlie most cases of AKI. Tubular epithelial cell (TEC) injury can occur via distinct insults, including ischemia, nephrotoxins, sepsis, and primary immune-mediated processes. Following these initial insults, tubular cells can activate survival and repair responses or they can develop mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic reprogramming, cell-cycle arrest, and programmed cell death. Developing evidence suggests that the fate of individual tubular cells to survive and proliferate or undergo cell death or senescence is frequently determined by a biphasic immune response with initial proinflammatory macrophage, neutrophil, and lymphocyte infiltration exacerbating injury and activating programmed cell death, while alternatively activated macrophages and specific lymphocyte subsets subsequently modulate inflammation and promote repair. Functional recovery requires that this reparative phase supports proteolytic degradation of tubular casts, proliferation of surviving TECs, and restoration of TEC differentiation. Incomplete resolution or persistence of inflammation can lead to failed tubular repair, fibrosis, and chronic kidney disease. Despite extensive research in animal models, translating preclinical findings to therapies remains challenging, emphasizing the need for integrated multiomic approaches to advance AKI understanding and treatment.\n\nID: 39188716\nTitle: Rejuvenating bone marrow hematopoietic reserve prevents regeneration failure and hepatic decompensation in animal model of cirrhosis.\nAbstract: Bone marrow stem cells (BM-SCs) and their progeny play a central role in tissue repair and regeneration. In patients with chronic liver failure, bone marrow (BM) reserve is severally compromised and they showed marked defects in the resolution of injury and infection, leading to liver failure and the onset of decompensation. Whether BM failure is the cause or consequence of liver failure during cirrhosis is not known. In this study, we aimed to determine the underlying relationship between BM failure and regeneration failure in cirrhosis. C57Bl/6(J) mice were used to develop chronic liver injury through intra-peritoneal administration of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) for 15 weeks (0.1-0.5 ml/kg). Animals were sacrificed to study the transition of cirrhosis and BM defects. To restore the BM-SC reserve; healthy BM cells were infused via intra-BM infusion and assessed for changes in liver injury, regeneration, and BM-SC reserve. Using a CCl4-induced animal - model of cirrhosis, we showed the loss of BM-SCs reserve occurred before regeneration failure and the onset of non-acute decompensation. Intra-BM infusion of healthy BM cells induced the repopulation of native hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in cirrhotic BM. Restoring BM-HSCs reserve augments liver macrophage-mediated clearance of infection and inflammation dampens neutrophil-mediated inflammation, accelerates fibrosis regression, enhances hepatocyte proliferation, and delays the onset of non-acute decompensation. These findings suggest that loss of BM-HSCs reserve underlies the compromised innate immune function of the liver, drives regeneration failure, and the onset of non-acute decompensation. We further provide the proof-of-concept that rejuvenating BM-HSC reserve can serve as a potential therapeutic approach for preventing regeneration failure and transition to decompensated cirrhosis.\n\nID: 38387326\nTitle: Identification of a novel FOXO3 agonist that protects against alcohol induced liver injury.\nAbstract: Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is a global healthcare concern which caused by excessive alcohol consumption with limited treatment options. The pathogenesis of ALD is complex and involves in hepatocyte damage, hepatic inflammation, increased gut permeability and microbiome dysbiosis. FOXO3 is a well-recognized transcription factor which associated with longevity via promoting antioxidant stress response, preventing senescence and cell death, and inhibiting inflammation. We and many others have reported that FOXO3-/- mice develop more severe liver injury in response to alcohol. In the present study, we aimed to develop compounds that activate FOXO3 and further investigate their effects in alcohol induced liver injury. Through virtual screening, we discovered series of small molecular compounds that showed high affinity to FOXO3. We confirmed effects of compounds on FOXO3 target gene expression, as well as antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects in vitro. Subsequently we evaluated the protective efficacy of compounds in alcohol induced liver injury in vivo. As a result, the leading compound we identified, 214991, activated downstream target genes expression of FOXO3, inhibited intracellular ROS accumulation and cell apoptosis induced by H2O2 and sorafenib. By using Lieber-DeCarli alcohol feeding mouse model, 214991 showed protective effects against alcohol-induced liver inflammation, macrophage and neutrophil infiltration, and steatosis. These findings not only reinforce the potential of FOXO3 as a valuable target for therapeutic intervention of ALD, but also suggested that compound 214991 as a promising candidate for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies of ALD.\n=======================================================\n\n### [CUSTOM DATAPOINTS]\nCRITICAL EXTRACTION DIRECTIVE: You MUST extract the following custom datapoints as root-level key/value pairs inside your final JSON block:\n- \"suggested_experiments\": generate 1-3 suggested experiments\n- \"suggested_studies\": generate 1-3 suggested studies\n- \"swansons_literature_based_discovery_candidates\": You are an advanced Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) system executing Swanson\u2019s complementary-but-disjoint (A-B-C) model.

Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting \u03b22 agonists (LABAs) are cornerstones of COPD therapy, but their effects on efferocytosis and on the COPD-lung cancer interface are incompletely understood. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether the ICS fluticasone propionate and the LABA salmeterol xinafoate, alone or in combination at clinically informed concentrations (10-8-10-6 M; 10-4 M reserved for cytotoxicity screening), modulate efferocytic capacity and inflammatory cell survival across diverse phagocyte models. We performed standardized in vitro efferocytosis assays using murine peritoneal and alveolar macrophages, the murine macrophage line J774A.1, PMA-differentiated human THP-1 macrophages, human blood-derived neutrophils, and the human alveolar adenocarcinoma cell line A549. Apoptosis was induced in Jurkat T cells by UV irradiation (100 mJ/cm2) and in murine thymocytes by dexamethasone (1 \u00b5M, 4 h); apoptotic and necrotic populations were characterized by annexin-V/propidium iodide and Sytox Green/Hoechst H-33342 staining. Peritoneal macrophages showed the highest efferocytic activity (~75%), followed by J774A.1 (~75% at 24 h), THP-1 (~30% at 2 h; ~60% at 24 h), alveolar macrophages (~40%), and A549 cells (<20%). Neither fluticasone nor salmeterol, individually or in combination, significantly altered efferocytic capacity in any phagocyte tested (all ANOVA p > 0.26). Fluticasone (10-8 and 10-6 M) significantly improved 24 h neutrophil survival and reduced early apoptosis (p < 0.05) but did not translate this survival benefit into enhanced efferocytosis. Salmeterol was cytotoxic at 10-4 M and inactive at 10-8-10-6 M. These findings indicate that the established anti-inflammatory benefits of ICS/LABA in COPD do not extend to augmentation of efferocytosis in this acute, serum-free in vitro setting and that pharmacological restoration of efferocytosis in COPD-a defect implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of comorbid lung cancer-will likely require strategies targeting the efferocytic machinery itself (e.g., MerTK, Rac-1, MFG-E8) rather than relying on current inhaled therapy.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42196603 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42054454 for the quote: \"This strategy also disrupts the inflammation cycle by steering neutrophils toward function activation, timely apoptosis and boosting macrophage efferocytosis.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

To address this, we developed a mussel-inspired microneedle patch (PCA@FeCO MN) by incorporating Fe3(CO)12 into a caffeic acid-grafted polyvinyl alcohol network. This design overcomes existing barriers through a dual-adhesion mechanism: a catechol-metal coordination network for strong chemical bonding and an optimized taper geometry for mechanical interlocking in wet oral tissues. Upon near-infrared irradiation, PCA@FeCO MN activates a photothermal-ferroptosis-gas therapy cascade, synergistically eradicating pathogens. Crucially, this strategy also disrupts the inflammation cycle by steering neutrophils toward function activation, timely apoptosis and boosting macrophage efferocytosis.

Pharmacological interventions aimed at restoring TRM efferocytic capacity\u2014specifically targeting receptors like EP2, AMPK, and GPR30-Trex1 axes\u2014represent a robust therapeutic strategy for mitigating multi-organ senescence, including cognitive, cardiac, and liver decline.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe process of aging is increasingly recognized not merely as a temporal decline, but as a failure of immune-mediated clearance. As cells age, they exhibit a senescent-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), and neutrophils, in particular, display delayed apoptosis and aberrant NETosis. \"Aging disrupts tissue homeostasis across organ systems. Here, we identify tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) as central coordinators of age-related organ decline through impaired clearance of senescent neutrophils, a process regulated by the immunomodulatory prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor EP2.\" The inability to clear these senescent cells leads to a \"self-sustaining inflammatory-oxidative network\" that promotes tissue damage. \"Persistent NET formation and insufficient NET clearance under inflammaging conditions may contribute to a self-sustaining inflammatory-oxidative network in the bone microenvironment.\" By targeting specific efferocytosis checkpoints, such as the EP2 receptor or the AMPK pathway, we can reverse this age-associated dysfunction. \"Pharmacologic EP2 inhibition restored youthful neutrophil clearance, establishing impaired TRM efferocytosis as a reversible driver of organ decline in aging.\" \"Reducing TRM EP2 signaling in aged mice preserved youthful mitochondrial fitness and prevented cognitive decline, frailty, sarcopenia, adiposity, cardiac impairment, and systemic inflammation.\" Thus, the restoration of macrophage efferocytosis is an essential mechanism for restoring immune homeostasis.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   **Checkpoint Specificity:** Restoration of efferocytosis is highly dependent on macrophage polarization states; M1 and M2 phenotypes can both contribute to resolution if metabolic cues are corrected.\n*   **The Trex1 Axis:** GPR30 signaling facilitates NETs degradation by upregulating Trex1 in macrophages, providing a bypass mechanism when standard efferocytosis fails.\n*   **Metabolic Gating:** AMPK phosphorylation is a critical switch for age-related efferocytic capacity; its suppression in aged macrophages serves as a druggable bottleneck for reversing sepsis-induced liver damage.\n*   **Biomimetic Approaches:** Targeted microneedle platforms can effectively steer neutrophils toward timely apoptosis and enhance local efferocytosis in tissues that are difficult to treat with systemic therapy.\n*   **Pre-senescence Modulation:** Ceramide metabolism changes are early markers of neutrophil senescence; restoring ceramide levels can rejuvenate neutrophil function before they reach the point of no return in apoptosis.\n*   **The NET-efferocytosis Paradox:** While NETs are necessary for pathogen defense, the failure to degrade them acts as a feed-forward loop for chronic inflammation.\n*   **Systemic Detoxing:** Exercise serves as a biological \"immune detox\" by activating autophagy and efferocytosis, removing accumulated senescent cells and DAMPs that drive inflammaging.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Here, we identify tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) as central coordinators of age-related organ decline through impaired clearance of senescent neutrophils, a process regulated by the immunomodulatory prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor EP2. Reducing TRM EP2 signaling in aged mice preserved youthful mitochondrial fitness and prevented cognitive decline, frailty, sarcopenia, adiposity, cardiac impairment, and systemic inflammation. Plasma proteomics implicated the liver as a major source of age-associated immune change, in which reduced TRM EP2 signaling rescued neutrophil efferocytosis and prevented paracrine stress in neighboring cells. Elevated TRM EP2 expression and senescent neutrophils were also observed in aged and diseased human tissues.

Reducing TRM EP2 signaling in aged mice preserved youthful mitochondrial fitness and prevented cognitive decline, frailty, sarcopenia, adiposity, cardiac impairment, and systemic inflammation. Plasma proteomics implicated the liver as a major source of age-associated immune change, in which reduced TRM EP2 signaling rescued neutrophil efferocytosis and prevented paracrine stress in neighboring cells. Elevated TRM EP2 expression and senescent neutrophils were also observed in aged and diseased human tissues.

The circadian clock dominates temporal activity of physiological homeostasis at the molecular level, including endocrine secretion, metabolic, immune response, coupled with extrinsic environmental cues (e.g., light/dark cycles) and behavioral cues (e.g., sleep/wake cycles and feeding/fasting cycles). The other side of the clock is that the misaligned circadian rhythm contributes to the onset of a variety of diseases, such as cancer, metabolic diseases, and cardiovascular diseases, the acceleration of aging, and the development of systemic inflammation. The role played by macrophages is a key mediator between circadian disruption and systemic inflammation. At the molecular level, macrophage functions are under the direct control of the circadian clock, and thus the circadian misalignment remodels the phenotype of macrophages toward a 'killer' mode. Remarkably, the inflammatory macrophages induce systemic and chronic inflammation, leading to the development of inflammatory diseases and the dampened immune defensive machinery against infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Here, we discuss how the circadian clock regulates macrophage immune functions and provide the potential risk of misaligned circadian rhythms against inflammatory and infectious diseases."

Emerging evidence suggests that daily timing of immune responses may influence cardiovascular disease progression by coordinating leukocyte trafficking, inflammatory thresholds, metabolic adaptation, and tissue repair across the 24-hour cycle. This review examines how core and auxiliary circadian regulators, including BMAL1, CLOCK, PER/CRY complexes, REV-ERBs, RORs, and systemic timing cues, shape immune-cell activation through transcriptional, epigenetic, metabolic, and neuroendocrine mechanisms. We further synthesize evidence on circadian coordination of leukocyte trafficking, particularly the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis, and discuss how disrupted timing may promote inappropriate leukocyte recruitment into the vascular wall. At the cellular level, circadian misalignment has been associated with altered macrophage polarization, inflammasome activation, and inflammatory injury, processes that may modulate atherosclerosis, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and post-infarction remodeling. Finally, we evaluate the translational potential and current limitations of chronopharmacology, emphasizing that time-of-day treatment strategies require careful consideration of clinical evidence, circadian phase assessment, chronotype, sex, age, comorbidities, and treatment feasibility. This evidence-weighted chrono-immunological perspective may help refine future research on cardiovascular inflammation and inform the development of more individualized prevention and therapeutic strategies."

When, clearance is improper, uncleared cells undergo secondary necrosis and trigger inflammation. In addition, proper efferocytosis would be required for inducing resolution of inflammation, thus clearance deficiencies in the long term lead to development of various chronic inflammatory diseases. Increasing evidence indicates that obesity, itself being a low-grade inflammatory disease, predisposes to a variety of other chronic inflammatory diseases. Previous studies indicated that this later might be partially related to an impaired efferocytosis induced by increased uptake of circulating saturated fatty acids by macrophages in obese people. Here, we show that palmitate inhibits efferocytosis by bone marrow-derived macrophages in a dose-dependent manner. Palmitate triggers autophagy but also activates an energy-sensing mTORC1/ROCK1 signaling pathway, which interferes with the autophagosome-lysosome fusion, resulting in accumulation of the cellular membranes in autophagosomes. We propose that lack of sufficient plasma membrane supply attenuates efferocytosis of palmitate-exposed macrophages. AMP-activated protein kinase activators lead to mTORC1 inhibition and, consequently, released the palmitate-induced efferocytosis block in macrophages. Thus, they might be useful in the treatment of obesity not only by affecting metabolism thought so far. ROCK1 inhibitors could also be considered."

The accumulation of apoptotic cells and neuroinflammation play crucial roles in the pathological mechanisms of NPP. Here, we aim to investigate strategies for effectively clearing apoptotic cells and provide therapeutic interventions for NPP. CCI mice were treated with different concentrations of ozone (15\u03bcg, 30\u03bcg, 45\u03bcg) to investigate the effects on the accumulation of apoptotic cells and neuroinflammation. In vitro, the phagocytic function of BMDM towards apoptotic neutrophils after ozone treatment was examined. We found ozone at a concentration of 30\u03bcg significantly alleviated mechanical hypersensitivity in CCI mice and ozone significantly upregulates the phagocytic activity of BMDM. Furthermore, we investigated the mechanisms and found ozone could activate AMPK, upregulate Gas6 (but not Protein S), activate MerTK (a key receptor involved in apoptosis), and enhance the phagocytic function of BMDM towards apoptotic neutrophils. It caused the promotion of SOCS3 expression and the suppression of inflammatory factors IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, and TNF-a. Interestingly, the effect of ozone in alleviating CCI-induced pain was abolished by the AMPK inhibitor CC and the MerTK receptor inhibitor UNC2541. Ozone facilitated macrophage clearance of apoptotic cells, decreased neuroinflammation by activation of p-AMPK/Gas6/MerTK/SOCS3 signaling pathway, which may become an effective therapeutic approach for neuropathic pain after further clinical validation."

Recent studies in experimental models of ARDS have revealed the crosstalk between AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), which may contribute to effectiveness of efferocytosis, thereby reducing inflammation and ARDS severity.We investigated neutrophil and NET clearance by macrophages from control and ARDS patients and examined how bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from control and ARDS patients could affect NET formation and efferocytosis. Metformin (an AMPK activator) and neutralising antibody against HMGB1 were applied to improve efferocytosis and NET clearance.Neutrophils from ARDS patients showed significantly reduced apoptosis. Conversely, NET formation was significantly enhanced in ARDS patients. Exposure of neutrophils to ARDS BAL fluid promoted NET production, while control BAL fluid had no effect. Macrophage engulfment of NETs and apoptotic neutrophils was diminished in ARDS patients. Notably, activation of AMPK in macrophages or neutralisation of HMGB1 in BAL fluid improved efferocytosis and NET clearance.In conclusion, restoration of AMPK activity with metformin or specific neutralisation of HMGB1 in BAL fluid represent promising therapeutic strategies to decrease sustained lung inflammation during ARDS."

Targeting efferocytosis is a potential manner to repolarize M1 macrophages into pro-resolving M2 phenotype, which restores immune homeostasis by releasing anti-inflammatory mediators. In this study, liquid nitrogen-treated dead macrophages (DM) are employed to act as a dead cell-derived active targeted drug carrier for shikonin (SHK) and induce efferocytosis in M1 macrophages with the enhancement of SHK as an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-activator. The synergistic activation of AMPK leads to uncoupled protein 2 (UCP2) upregulation and reprograms M1 macrophages into M2 phenotypes by promoting oxidative phosphorylation. In the mouse model of collagen-induced arthritis, the intravenous administration of DM/SHK leads to a consistent transformation of M1 macrophages into the M2 phenotype within the infiltrative synovium. This transformation of macrophages results in the restoration of immune homeostasis in the synovium through an increase in the production of pro-resolving mediators. Additionally, it inhibits synovial proliferation and infiltration and provides protection against erosion of cartilage and bone. In summary, LNT-based DM serves as an active targeting drug carrier to M1 macrophages and also acts synergistically with SHK to target immunometabolism."

As a result, macrophages have a dual role: clearing the parasite as well as acting as host cells. Recently, studies have shown that macrophages harbour circadian clocks, which affect many of their functions such as phagocytosis, receptor expression and cytokine release. Interestingly, Leishmania major infection in hosts was also shown to be under circadian control. Therefore, we decided to investigate what underlies the rhythms of L. major infection within macrophages. Using a culture model of infection of bone marrow-derived macrophages with L. major promastigotes, we show that the parasites are internalised into macrophages with a 24-h variation dependent on a functional circadian clock in the cells. This was associated with a variation in the number of parasites per macrophage. The cell surface expression of parasite receptors was not controlled by the cells' circadian clock. In contrast, the expression of the components of the endocytic pathway, EEA1 and LC3b, varied according to the time of infection. This was paralleled by variations in parasite-induced ROS production as well as cytokine tumour necrosis factor \u03b1. In summary, we have uncovered a time-dependent regulation of the internalisation of L. major promastigotes in macrophages, controlled by the circadian clock in these cells, as well as subsequent cellular events in the endocytic pathway, intracellular signalling and cytokine production."

This study aimed to investigate the effect of RSV on alleviating HIRI and explore the underlying mechanisms. RSV was intraperitoneally injected in mice HIRI model, while RSV was co-incubated with culture medium for 24 h in RAW 264.7 cells and kupffer cells. Macrophage efferocytosis was assessed by immunostaining of PI and F4/80. The clearance of apoptotic neutrophils in the liver was determined by immunostaining of Ly6-G and cleaved-caspase-3. HE staining, Suzuki's score, serum levels of ALT, AST, TNF-\u03b1 and IL-1\u03b2 were analyzed to evaluate HIRI.

Recent evidence suggests that necroptosis promotes plaque necrosis; therefore, we sought to determine how necroptotic cells (NCs) impact resolution programs in plaques. Approach and Results: To investigate the role(s) of necroptosis in advanced atherosclerosis, we used mice deficient of Mlkl, an effector of necroptosis. Mlkl-/- mice that were injected with a gain-of-function mutant PCSK9 (AAV8-gof-PCSK9) and fed a Western diet for 16 weeks, showed significantly less plaque necrosis, increased fibrous caps and improved efferocytosis compared with AAV8-gof-PCSK9 injected wt controls. Additionally, hypercholesterolemic Mlkl-/- mice had a significant increase in proresolving mediators including resolvin D1 (RvD1) and a decrease in prostanoids including thromboxane in plaques and in vitro. We found that exuberant thromboxane released by NCs impaired the clearance of both apoptotic cells and NCs through disruption of oxidative phosphorylation in macrophages. Moreover, we found that NCs did not readily synthesize RvD1 and that exogenous administration of RvD1 to macrophages rescued NC-induced defective efferocytosis. RvD1 also enhanced the uptake of NCs via the activation of p-AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), increased fatty acid oxidation, and enhanced oxidative phosphorylation in macrophages. These results suggest that NCs derange resolution by limiting key SPMs and impairing the efferocytic repertoire of macrophages. Moreover, these findings provide a molecular mechanism for RvD1 in directing proresolving metabolic programs in macrophages and further suggests RvD1 as a potential therapeutic strategy to limit NCs in tissues.

Here, we investigated the effects of isoflurane on macrophage efferocytosis and resolution of lung inflammatory injury. Treatment of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) or alveolar macrophages with isoflurane dramatically enhanced phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils. Isoflurane significantly increased the surface expression of the receptor tyrosine kinase Mer in macrophages, but markedly decreased the levels of a soluble form of Mer protein in the medium. Isoflurane treatment also caused a decrease in a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) on the cell surface and a concomitant increase in its cytoplasmic fraction. These responses induced by isoflurane were completely reversed by a pharmacological inhibitor or genetic deletion of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). In a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide-induced lung injury, isoflurane accelerated the recovery of lung inflammation and injury that was coupled with an increase in the number of alveolar macrophages containing apoptotic bodies. In alveolar macrophage-depleted mice, administration of isoflurane-pretreated BMDMs facilitated resolution of lung inflammation following lipopolysaccharide challenge. Thus, isoflurane promoted resolution of lipopolysaccharide-induced lung inflammatory injury via enhancement of macrophage efferocytosis. Increased macrophage efferocytosis following isoflurane treatment correlates with upregulation of Mer surface expression through AMPK-mediated blockade of ADAM17 trafficking to the cell membrane."

Our results show a rapid activation of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) in macrophages upon exposure to apoptotic cells or lysophosphatidylcholine, a specific phospholipid that is produced and released from dying cells. AMPK activation resulted from inhibition of mitochondrial oxygen consumption and ATP production and further depended on Ca(2+) mobilization and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation. Once activated, AMPK increased microtubule synthesis and chemokinesis and provided adaptation to energy demand during tracking and engulfment. Uptake of apoptotic cells was increased in lungs of mice that received lysophosphatidylcholine. Furthermore, inhibition of AMPK diminished clearance of apoptotic thymocytes in vitro and in dexamethasone-treated mice. Taken together, we conclude that the mitochondrial AMPK axis is a sensor and enhancer of tracking and removal of apoptotic cell, processes crucial to resolution of inflammatory conditions and a return to tissue homeostasis."

Persistent, incompletely resolved inflammatory reactions disrupt this delicate homeostatic equilibrium and foster the development of severe acute and chronic diseases. Central mediators that terminate inflammatory responses and actively transition them into resolution are therefore of paramount importance. These include not only specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators but also peptide and protein mediators, cytokines with context-dependent pro-resolving function, stromal and neuronal signals, as well as cell-intrinsic resolution mechanisms such as efferocytosis, metabolic reprogramming, and tissue-repair programs. Innate and adaptive immune cells integrate these signals and, as major sources and effectors of pro-resolving mediators, drive clearance of harmful stimuli and dying cells and foster tissue repair. Within this broader network of pro-resolving pathways, neuronal guidance proteins (NGPs) are increasingly recognized as critical regulators of immune cell positioning and function that act far beyond their classical roles in axon guidance and are now regarded as integral components of the active inflammation-resolution program. This chapter interrogates the fundamental biology of selected NGPs-including Netrin-1, repulsive guidance molecule A (RGM-A), Semaphorin 7A (Sema7A), Neogenin (Neo1), and Plexin C1 (PLXC1)-and delineates their dual roles within inflammatory and resolution programs, with particular emphasis on how these cues sculpt leukocyte trafficking, promote cellular clearance, and drive immune cell reprogramming along the temporal axis from the early phase of acute inflammation to the restoration of tissue homeostasis."

Early prognostic stratification remains challenging, as current biomarkers lack sufficient specificity and sensitivity, underscoring the urgent need for novel prognosis-related indicators. We integrated bulk transcriptomic data from a discovery cohort (GSE205672) and an independent validation cohort (GSE133822) with single-cell RNA-seq profiles of early- and late-stage sepsis (GSE167363, GSE175453). WGCNA and five consensus machine-learning algorithms were combined to screen core efferocytosis-associated genes, and expression was validated via qPCR in PBMCs from sepsis patients and CLP-induced septic mice. ADAP2 was identified as the core gene achieving strict consensus across all five algorithms, with early upregulation and late depletion in sepsis, predominant expression in monocytes/macrophages-particularly M1-like and IFN-responsive subsets-and a significant correlation with efferocytosis scores and immune cell infiltration. Its expression was negatively correlated with sepsis severity (SOFA score) and showed a trend toward worse survival in patients with low ADAP2 levels. This multi-dimensional transcriptomic study establishes ADAP2 as a candidate biomarker with potential prognostic value in sepsis, closely linked to macrophage efferocytosis. These findings may aid early risk stratification and inform macrophage-directed immunotherapies, although prospective validation and functional studies are required."

Their presence is critical, and how they die influences whether the heart heals or suffers further injury. This outcome depends on specific cell death pathways of neutrophils, including NETosis, apoptosis, and autophagy. NETosis can be harmful when neutrophils release sticky, web-like structures (NETs) filled with toxic enzymes, particularly during early thromboinflammatory amplification. These webs trap platelets and trigger clotting, which blocks blood vessels and worsens heart damage. In contrast, timely neutrophil apoptosis is a quiet, controlled death that signals cleanup cells (macrophages) to remove debris and start tissue repair, although apoptotic signaling in other cardiac cell types or inappropriate time windows may be detrimental. Autophagy acts as a regulator, helping determine which of these paths the cell takes. Furthermore, platelets could modulate these specific cell death pathways by releasing soluble mediators (e.g., P-selectin, HMGB1, polyP, CXCL4), promoting NETosis while suppressing apoptosis to exacerbate ischemic myocardial injury. Some anti-inflammatory strategies could fail if broad immune suppression inadvertently disrupts reparative neutrophil apoptosis and efferocytosis. Future therapies could aim to precisely block pathological NETosis or support timely neutrophil apoptosis to limit injury and improve heart recovery."

The provided literature corroborates that TRM efferocytosis is a central, reversible driver of organ aging. Evidence confirms that macrophage phagocytic function follows circadian rhythms and that metabolic modulators like AMPK activators and EP2 inhibitors can restore efferocytic capacity. Alignment of metabolic interventions with macrophage circadian rhythms is mechanistically plausible given that macrophage effector functions are clock-controlled.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nResearch confirms that aging disrupts organ systems through the impaired clearance of senescent neutrophils by TRMs. Pharmacologic EP2 inhibition restored youthful neutrophil clearance, establishing impaired TRM efferocytosis as a reversible driver of organ decline in aging. Reducing TRM EP2 signaling in aged mice preserved youthful mitochondrial fitness and prevented cognitive decline, frailty, sarcopenia, adiposity, cardiac impairment, and systemic inflammation. The importance of the circadian clock in innate immunity is paramount: At the molecular level, macrophage functions are under the direct control of the circadian clock, and thus the circadian misalignment remodels the phenotype of macrophages toward a 'killer' mode. The circadian system is an important regulator of cardiovascular immune homeostasis. Consequently, metabolic checkpoints are critical: AMP-activated protein kinase activators lead to mTORC1 inhibition and, consequently, released the palmitate-induced efferocytosis block in macrophages. Treatment of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) or alveolar macrophages with isoflurane dramatically enhanced phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils. Targeting these pathways chronotherapeutically remains a critical frontier.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   TRM efferocytosis is not merely a debris-clearing function but a metabolic hub that shapes systemic homeostasis through nutrient recycling.\n*   The circadian clock controls phagocytosis; however, circadian control of host-fungal interaction is not based on cell-intrinsic macrophage rhythms, implying complex in vivo regulation.\n*   AMPK activation is a central node for both lipid mediator signaling and the restoration of efferocytosis in senescent \"foamy\" macrophages.\n*   Microcurrent stimulation (MCS) can override circadian declines in macrophage phagocytosis by modulating clock genes.\n*   EP2 receptor signaling negatively regulates efferocytosis; its inhibition serves as a powerful systemic anti-aging intervention.\n*   The efferocytic capacity of macrophages is frequently subverted in aging and chronic inflammatory states through receptor shedding or ligand-induced signaling blocks.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Here, we identify tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) as central coordinators of age-related organ decline through impaired clearance of senescent neutrophils, a process regulated by the immunomodulatory prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor EP2. Reducing TRM EP2 signaling in aged mice preserved youthful mitochondrial fitness and prevented cognitive decline, frailty, sarcopenia, adiposity, cardiac impairment, and systemic inflammation. Plasma proteomics implicated the liver as a major source of age-associated immune change, in which reduced TRM EP2 signaling rescued neutrophil efferocytosis and prevented paracrine stress in neighboring cells. Elevated TRM EP2 expression and senescent neutrophils were also observed in aged and diseased human tissues. Pharmacologic EP2 inhibition restored youthful neutrophil clearance, establishing impaired TRM efferocytosis as a reversible driver of organ decline in aging.\n\nID: 42352073\nTitle: Myeloid DRP1 Sulfenylation Drives Reparative Macrophage Polarization and Neovascularization in Ischemic Muscle.\nAbstract: Reparative macrophage polarization and macrophage-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) are required for ischemia-induced revascularization in peripheral artery disease (PAD).

These metabolic shifts regulate immune cell polarization, efferocytosis, cytokine profiles, and growth factor release (IGF-1, amphiregulin, GDF-15), creating an optimal regenerative niche for satellite cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation in muscle while supporting bone remodeling through mechanosensory osteocyte signaling and osteokine secretion (osteocalcin, sclerostin, RANKL/OPG). Distinct exercise modalities generate characteristic immune-metabolic signatures: aerobic training promotes sustained oxidative phosphorylation and anti-inflammatory tolerance beneficial for both muscle and bone; resistance training induces controlled glycolytic bursts followed by anabolic M2 polarization, muscle hypertrophy, and improved bone microarchitecture; HIIT generates oscillatory stress that trains innate immune memory and enhances muscle-bone resilience. Energy-sensing pathways (AMPK, mTOR, HIF-1\u03b1, SIRT1/3, PGC-1\u03b1) and metabolite checkpoints integrate mechanical loading with immune and endocrine signals to balance pro-regenerative inflammation with timely resolution across the musculoskeletal system. Clinically, this framework enables precision rehabilitation protocols based on immune metabolic phenotyping, lactate kinetics, and skeletal imaging (BMD, microarchitecture) to optimize outcomes in sarcopenia, osteosarcopenia, postoperative recovery, chronic inflammatory diseases, cancer cachexia, and post-viral syndromes. Exercise-induced immune metabolic remodeling thus serves as a master regulator of muscle-bone-immune coupling, offering a mechanism-driven foundation for next-generation rehabilitation medicine that enhances tissue repair, bone quality, and systemic homeostasis.\n\nID: 41953666\nTitle: Specialized pro-resolving mediators in myocardial infarction: orchestrators of inflammation resolution and tissue repair.\nAbstract: Myocardial infarction (MI) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality wordwide. Despite reperfusion therapies have improved survival, persistent and dysregulated inflammation contributes to adverse remodeling and progression to heart failure. However, the mechanisms by which inflammation is actively terminated and converted into a reparative program in the infarcted heart have not been fully elucidated. Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs)-including lipoxins, resolvins, protectins and maresins-represent a unique class of lipid-derived mediators that regulate the active resolution of inflammation without broadly suppressing host immune defenses like conventional anti-inflammatory drugs. Emerging evidence demonstrates that SPMs can regulate neutrophil clearance, promote efferocytosis, modulate endothelial activation and reprogram cardiac macrophages toward a reparative phenotype. Notably, SPMs signaling interracts with multiple cores signaling networks involved in MI pathology, including the NF-\u03baB, AMPK, Hippo-YAP and JAK/STAT pathways, linking metabolic states and inflammatory signals to structural repair processes. Despite these advances, critical gaps remain regarding the temporal dynamics of SPM biosynthesis after MI, their mechanistic interactions with existing standard therapies, and their clinical translation as biomarkers or therapeutic agents. This review integrates the latest mechanistic and clinical evidence to propose a spatiotemporal specific SPMs-driven cardiac repair framework and highlights how targeting endogenous resolution pathways may complement current MI management. By dissecting key molecular nodes within SPMs signaling, we propose a therapeutic strategy that extend beyond \"inflammation suppression\" to actively restoring myocardial homeostasis.\n\nID: 40915106\nTitle: GLP-1R activation restores Gas6-driven efferocytosis in senescent foamy macrophages to promote neural repair.\nAbstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition characterized by the accumulation of myelin debris (MD), persistent neuroinflammation, and impaired neural regeneration. Although macrophages are pivotal for MD clearance, the impact of excessive MD phagocytosis on macrophage phenotype and function remains poorly understood. Building upon our prior evidence that exendin-4 (Ex-4), a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist, mitigates microglia-driven neuroinflammation post-SCI, this study elucidates the therapeutic efficacy and underlying mechanisms of Ex-4 in alleviating macrophage senescence, restoring efferocytotic capacity, and facilitating neural repair. Employing a T10 contusive SCI model in male C57BL/6 mice, in vivo administration of Ex-4 was combined with macrophage-specific knockdown of growth arrest-specific 6 (Gas6) via AAV-shRNA. Complementary in vitro assays involved bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) challenged with MD in the presence or absence of Ex-4 or AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) inhibition. Cellular senescence and efferocytosis were comprehensively assessed through live-cell imaging, immunofluorescence, senescence-associated \u03b2-galactosidase staining, quantitative PCR, and western blotting. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations elucidated GLP-1R-AMPK interactions, corroborated by in vivo validation. Results demonstrate that MD-engulfing macrophages exhibit foam cell-like morphology and upregulated senescence markers, including increased \u03b2-galactosidase activity and senescence-associated secretory phenotype, concomitant with diminished efferocytosis via downregulation of the Axl receptor. Senescent macrophages were shown to exacerbate neuronal apoptosis and astrocytic scar formation in co-culture systems. Ex-4 treatment significantly attenuated macrophage senescence, restored efferocytotic function, and reduced neuronal injury and astrocyte activation, effects contingent upon AMPK/Gas6/Axl pathway activation and abrogated by Gas6 knockdown. In vivo, Ex-4 administration enhanced remyelination, axonal regeneration, and functional recovery, while attenuating glial scar formation following SCI. Collectively, these findings identify macrophage senescence induced by excessive MD phagocytosis as a novel pathological contributor to SCI progression and establish Ex-4 as a promising therapeutic agent that restores macrophage homeostasis and promotes neural repair via GLP-1R/AMPK/Gas6/Axl signaling.\n\nID: 40787692\nTitle: 27-Hydroxycholesterol Exacerbates the Pathogenesis of Asthma.\nAbstract: 27-Hydroxycholesterol (27-HC) is an oxidative metabolite of cholesterol and an oxysterol catalysed by the mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzyme, sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1). In addition to inducing the release of eosinophil chemotactic factors such as RANTES and Eotaxin, 27-HC enhances the differentiation of lung fibroblasts into myofibroblasts and promotes the production of extracellular matrix proteins. Therefore, it is possible that 27-HC may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of asthma. In this study, we observed elevated expression of CYP27A1 and increased production of 27-HC in the lung tissues of asthmatic mice, with alveolar macrophages (AMs) identified as the primary source of 27-HC. 27-HC induced an increase in total cell count and eosinophil number in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of asthmatic mice, exacerbated inflammatory cell infiltration into lung tissues, and heightened airway hyper-responsiveness, thereby aggravating asthma. The alarmin, IL-33, within airways induced 27-HC production by AMs via the NF-\u03baB signalling pathway. Furthermore, 27-HC was shown to inhibit the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells (efferocytosis) by airway epithelial cells (AECs) through AMPK activation. Thus, in asthmatic mice, 27-HC, predominantly derived from AMs, influences the efferocytotic function of AECs, demonstrating that cross-talk between macrophages and epithelial cells regulates asthma pathogenesis. This study provides valuable insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying asthma and offers theoretical and experimental data for identifying novel therapeutic targets for clinical asthma management.\n\nID: 39914702\nTitle: Circadian rhythm, microglia-mediated neuroinflammation, and Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Microglia, the brain's resident macrophages, are key mediators of neuroinflammation, responding to immune pathogens and toxins. They play a crucial role in clearing cellular debris, regulating synaptic plasticity, and phagocytosing amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recent studies indicate that microglia not only exhibit intrinsic circadian rhythms but are also regulated by circadian clock genes, influencing specific functions such as phagocytosis and the modulation of neuroinflammation. Disruption of the circadian rhythm is closely associated with AD pathology. In this review, we will provide an overview of how circadian rhythms regulate microglia-mediated neuroinflammation in the progression of AD, focusing on the pathway from the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral immune system. We also discuss potential therapeutic targets, including hormone modulation, lifestyle interventions, and anti-inflammatory therapies, aimed at maintaining brain health in AD. This will shed light on the involvement of circadian rhythm in AD and explore new avenues for AD treatment.\n\nID: 39744689\nTitle: Targeting macrophage circadian rhythms with microcurrent stimulation to activate cancer immunity through phagocytic defense.\nAbstract: Rationale: Macrophage phagocytosis plays a role in cancer immunotherapy. The phagocytic activity of macrophages, regulated by circadian clock genes, shows time-dependent variation. Intervening in the circadian clock machinery of macrophages is a potentially novel approach to cancer immunotherapy; however, data on this approach are scarce. Microcurrent stimulation (MCS) promotes inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, suggesting its potential to modulate macrophage function; however, its application has been limited. In this study, we investigated the impact of MCS on macrophage phagocytosis of cancer cells using mouse/human macrophage cell lines and various mouse/human cancer cell lines. Methods: Cells and mice received 300 \u00b5A, 400 Hz bidirectional pulsed MCS. Gene expression, protein expression, and phagocytosis activity were assessed in intraperitoneal macrophages collected from mice, as well as in RAW264.7, and THP-1 cells. Flow cytometry, population, phagocytosis activity, RNA-seq, and immunohistochemistry analyses were performed. Results: Noninvasive MCS prevented time-dependent reduction in macrophage phagocytosis of cancer cells by modulating the circadian clock genes. MCS also enhanced phagocytosis in mouse RAW264.7 and human THP-1 cells across various cancer types by promoting actin polymerization; similar in vivo effects were observed in mice. This enhancement occurred in abdominal macrophages of both sexes and was mediated by changes in clock gene expression. Specifically, suppressing the clock gene Per1 nullified the effects of MCS. Moreover, although macrophage phagocytosis typically declined during the dark period, MCS during the light period prevented this reduction. MCS also increased phagocytosis of peritoneally implanted cancer cells (4T1, ID8, and Hepa1-6) in mice, significantly reducing tumor engraftment and growth, and ultimately improving prognosis. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that targeting macrophage circadian mechanisms via MCS could enhance cancer immunity, offering new avenues for cancer immunotherapy.\n\nID: 39628480\nTitle: Ozone promotes macrophage efferocytosis and alleviates neuropathic pain by activating the AMPK/Gas6-MerTK/SOCS3 signaling pathway.\nAbstract: Neuropathic pain (NPP) is a multifaceted pain syndrome that occurs as a consequence of physical injury or underlying diseases, with an incidence rate of 7%-10%, NPP poses a significant clinical challenge as current treatment options are ineffective. The accumulation of apoptotic cells and neuroinflammation play crucial roles in the pathological mechanisms of NPP. Here, we aim to investigate strategies for effectively clearing apoptotic cells and provide therapeutic interventions for NPP. CCI mice were treated with different concentrations of ozone (15\u03bcg, 30\u03bcg, 45\u03bcg) to investigate the effects on the accumulation of apoptotic cells and neuroinflammation. In vitro, the phagocytic function of BMDM towards apoptotic neutrophils after ozone treatment was examined. We found ozone at a concentration of 30\u03bcg significantly alleviated mechanical hypersensitivity in CCI mice and ozone significantly upregulates the phagocytic activity of BMDM. Furthermore, we investigated the mechanisms and found ozone could activate AMPK, upregulate Gas6 (but not Protein S), activate MerTK (a key receptor involved in apoptosis), and enhance the phagocytic function of BMDM towards apoptotic neutrophils. It caused the promotion of SOCS3 expression and the suppression of inflammatory factors IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, and TNF-a. Interestingly, the effect of ozone in alleviating CCI-induced pain was abolished by the AMPK inhibitor CC and the MerTK receptor inhibitor UNC2541. Ozone facilitated macrophage clearance of apoptotic cells, decreased neuroinflammation by activation of p-AMPK/Gas6/MerTK/SOCS3 signaling pathway, which may become an effective therapeutic approach for neuropathic pain after further clinical validation.\n\nID: 39366181\nTitle: Macrophage corpses for immunoregulation and targeted drug delivery in treatment of collagen-induced arthritis mice.\nAbstract: The role of pro-inflammatory macrophages (M1) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is significant, as they produce excessive cytokines. Targeting efferocytosis is a potential manner to repolarize M1 macrophages into pro-resolving M2 phenotype, which restores immune homeostasis by releasing anti-inflammatory mediators. In this study, liquid nitrogen-treated dead macrophages (DM) are employed to act as a dead cell-derived active targeted drug carrier for shikonin (SHK) and induce efferocytosis in M1 macrophages with the enhancement of SHK as an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-activator. The synergistic activation of AMPK leads to uncoupled protein 2 (UCP2) upregulation and reprograms M1 macrophages into M2 phenotypes by promoting oxidative phosphorylation. In the mouse model of collagen-induced arthritis, the intravenous administration of DM/SHK leads to a consistent transformation of M1 macrophages into the M2 phenotype within the infiltrative synovium. This transformation of macrophages results in the restoration of immune homeostasis in the synovium through an increase in the production of pro-resolving mediators. Additionally, it inhibits synovial proliferation and infiltration and provides protection against erosion of cartilage and bone. In summary, LNT-based DM serves as an active targeting drug carrier to M1 macrophages and also acts synergistically with SHK to target immunometabolism.\n\nID: 38863703\nTitle: The disrupted molecular circadian clock of monocytes and macrophages in allergic inflammation.\nAbstract: Macrophage dysfunction is a common feature of inflammatory disorders such as asthma, which is characterized by a strong circadian rhythm. We monitored the protein expression pattern of the molecular circadian clock in human peripheral blood monocytes from healthy, allergic, and asthmatic donors during a whole day. Monocytes cultured of these donors allowed us to examine circadian protein expression in human monocyte-derived macrophages, M1- and M2- polarized macrophages. In monocytes, particularly from allergic asthmatics, the oscillating expression of circadian proteins CLOCK, BMAL, REV ERBs, and RORs was significantly altered. Similar changes in BMAL1 were observed in polarized macrophages from allergic donors and in tissue-resident macrophages from activated precision cut lung slices. We confirmed clock modulating, anti-inflammatory, and lung-protective properties of the inverse ROR agonist SR1001 by reduced secretion of macrophage inflammatory protein and increase in phagocytosis. Using a house dust mite model, we verified the therapeutic effect of SR1001 in vivo. Overall, our data suggest an interaction between the molecular circadian clock and monocytes/macrophages effector function in inflammatory lung diseases. The use of SR1001 leads to inflammatory resolution in vitro and in vivo and represents a promising clock-based therapeutic approach for chronic pulmonary diseases such as asthma.\n\nID: 38817112\nTitle: Circadian Regulation of Leishmania Parasite Internalisation in Macrophages and Downstream Cellular Events.\nAbstract: Leishmania spp. parasites use macrophages as a host cell during infection. As a result, macrophages have a dual role: clearing the parasite as well as acting as host cells. Recently, studies have shown that macrophages harbour circadian clocks, which affect many of their functions such as phagocytosis, receptor expression and cytokine release. Interestingly, Leishmania major infection in hosts was also shown to be under circadian control. Therefore, we decided to investigate what underlies the rhythms of L. major infection within macrophages. Using a culture model of infection of bone marrow-derived macrophages with L. major promastigotes, we show that the parasites are internalised into macrophages with a 24-h variation dependent on a functional circadian clock in the cells. This was associated with a variation in the number of parasites per macrophage. The cell surface expression of parasite receptors was not controlled by the cells' circadian clock. In contrast, the expression of the components of the endocytic pathway, EEA1 and LC3b, varied according to the time of infection. This was paralleled by variations in parasite-induced ROS production as well as cytokine tumour necrosis factor \u03b1. In summary, we have uncovered a time-dependent regulation of the internalisation of L. major promastigotes in macrophages, controlled by the circadian clock in these cells, as well as subsequent cellular events in the endocytic pathway, intracellular signalling and cytokine production.\n\nID: 38262562\nTitle: Calorie restriction mimetic, resveratrol, attenuates hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury through enhancing efferocytosis of macrophages via AMPK/STAT3/S1PR1 pathway.\nAbstract: Calorie restriction (CR) mimetic, resveratrol (RSV), has the capacity of promoting phagocytosis. However, its role in hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury (HIRI) remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effect of RSV on alleviating HIRI and explore the underlying mechanisms. RSV was intraperitoneally injected in mice HIRI model, while RSV was co-incubated with culture medium for 24 h in RAW 264.7 cells and kupffer cells. Macrophage efferocytosis was assessed by immunostaining of PI and F4/80. The clearance of apoptotic neutrophils in the liver was determined by immunostaining of Ly6-G and cleaved-caspase-3. HE staining, Suzuki's score, serum levels of ALT, AST, TNF-\u03b1 and IL-1\u03b2 were analyzed to evaluate HIRI. The efferocytosis inhibitor, Cytochalasin D, was utilized to investigate the effect of RSV on HIRI. Western blot was employed to measure the levels of AMPK\u03b1, phospho-AMPK\u03b1, STAT3, phospho-STAT3 and S1PR1. SiSTAT3 and inhibitors targeting AMPK, STAT3 and S1PR1, respectively, were used to confirm the involvement of AMPK/STAT3/S1PR1 pathway in RSV-mediated efferocytosis and HIRI. RSV facilitated the clearance of apoptotic neutrophils and attenuated HIRI, which was impeded by Cytochalasin D. RSV boosted macrophage efferocytosis by up-regulating the levels of phospho-AMPK\u03b1, phospho-STAT3 and S1PR1, which was reversed by AMPK, STAT3 and S1PR1 inhibitors, respectively. Inhibition of STAT3 suppressed RSV-induced clearance of apoptotic neutrophils and exacerbated HIRI. CR mimetic, RSV, alleviates HIRI by promoting macrophages efferocytosis through AMPK/STAT3/S1PR1 pathway, providing valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of CR on attenuating HIRI.\n\nID: 37634840\nTitle: Geniposide ameliorates acute kidney injury via enhancing the phagocytic ability of macrophages towards neutrophil extracellular traps.\nAbstract: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinically serious disorder associated with high mortality rates and an increased risk of progression to end-stage renal disease. As an essential supportive treatment for patients with respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation not only save many critically ill patients, but also affect glomerular filtration function by changing renal hemodynamics, neurohumoral and positive end-expiratory pressure, eventually leading to AKI. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a crucial energy homeostasis regulator, could enhance macrophage phagocytic ability and inhibit inflammation, but whether it can engulf neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and alleviate mechanical ventilation-associated AKI is still unclear. In this study, we found that geniposide significantly ameliorated histopathological damage, reduced serum Cre and BUN levels. Besides, geniposide can also induce AMPK activation and enhance macrophage phagocytic ability toward NETs. Moreover, geniposide can markedly reduce the levels of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), and these effects were dependent on AMPK-PI3K/Akt signaling. Altogether, these results indicated that geniposide promoted macrophage efferocytosis by inducing AMPK-PI3K/Akt signaling activation, clearing NETs and ameliorating AKI.\n\nID: 37438806\nTitle: AMPK activation improves recovery from pneumonia-induced lung injury via reduction of er-stress and apoptosis in alveolar epithelial cells.\nAbstract: Bacterial pneumonia and related lung injury are among the most frequent causes of mortality in intensive care units, but also inflict serious and prolonged respiratory complications among survivors. Given that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a hallmark of sepsis-related alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) dysfunction, we tested if AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) affects recovery from ER stress and apoptosis of AECs during post-bacterial infection. In a murine model of lung injury by P. aeruginosa non-lethal infection, therapeutic interventions included AMPK activator metformin or GSK-3\u03b2 inhibitor Tideglusib for 96\u00a0h. Recovery from AEC injury was evidenced by accumulation of soluble T-1\u03b1 (AEC Type 1 marker) in BAL fluids along with fluorescence analysis of ER-stress (CHOP) and apoptosis (TUNEL) in lung sections. AMPK phosphorylation status and mediators of ER stress were determined via Immunoblot analysis from lung homogenates. Macrophage-dependent clearance of apoptotic cells was determined using flow cytometry assay. P. aeruginosa-induced lung injury resulted in accumulation of neutrophils and cellular debris in the alveolar space along with persistent (96\u00a0h) ER-stress and apoptosis of AECs. While lung infection triggered AMPK inactivation (de-phosphorylation of Thr172-AMPK), metformin and Tideglusib promptly restored the AMPK activation status. In post infected mice, AMPK activation reduced indices of lung injury, ER stress and related apoptosis of AECs, as early as 24\u00a0h post administration of AMPK activators. In addition, we demonstrate that the extent of apoptotic cell accumulation is also dependent on AMPK-mediated clearance of apoptotic cells by macrophages. Our study provides important insights into AMPK function in the preservation of AEC viability after bacterial infection, in particular due reduction of ER-stress and apoptosis, thereby promoting effective recovery from lung injury after pneumonia.\n\nID: 36359898\nTitle: Palmitate Inhibits Mouse Macrophage Efferocytosis by Activating an mTORC1-Regulated Rho Kinase 1 Pathway: Therapeutic Implications for the Treatment of Obesity.\nAbstract: Every day, billions of our cells die and get cleared without inducing inflammation. When, clearance is improper, uncleared cells undergo secondary necrosis and trigger inflammation. In addition, proper efferocytosis would be required for inducing resolution of inflammation, thus clearance deficiencies in the long term lead to development of various chronic inflammatory diseases. Increasing evidence indicates that obesity, itself being a low-grade inflammatory disease, predisposes to a variety of other chronic inflammatory diseases. Previous studies indicated that this later might be partially related to an impaired efferocytosis induced by increased uptake of circulating saturated fatty acids by macrophages in obese people. Here, we show that palmitate inhibits efferocytosis by bone marrow-derived macrophages in a dose-dependent manner. Palmitate triggers autophagy but also activates an energy-sensing mTORC1/ROCK1 signaling pathway, which interferes with the autophagosome-lysosome fusion, resulting in accumulation of the cellular membranes in autophagosomes. We propose that lack of sufficient plasma membrane supply attenuates efferocytosis of palmitate-exposed macrophages. AMP-activated protein kinase activators lead to mTORC1 inhibition and, consequently, released the palmitate-induced efferocytosis block in macrophages. Thus, they might be useful in the treatment of obesity not only by affecting metabolism thought so far. ROCK1 inhibitors could also be considered.\n\nID: 35281442\nTitle: Macrophage Meets the Circadian Clock: Implication of the Circadian Clock in the Role of Macrophages in Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infection.\nAbstract: The circadian rhythm is a biological system that creates daily variations of physiology and behavior with a 24-h cycle, which is precisely controlled by the molecular circadian clock. The circadian clock dominates temporal activity of physiological homeostasis at the molecular level, including endocrine secretion, metabolic, immune response, coupled with extrinsic environmental cues (e.g., light/dark cycles) and behavioral cues (e.g., sleep/wake cycles and feeding/fasting cycles). The other side of the clock is that the misaligned circadian rhythm contributes to the onset of a variety of diseases, such as cancer, metabolic diseases, and cardiovascular diseases, the acceleration of aging, and the development of systemic inflammation. The role played by macrophages is a key mediator between circadian disruption and systemic inflammation. At the molecular level, macrophage functions are under the direct control of the circadian clock, and thus the circadian misalignment remodels the phenotype of macrophages toward a 'killer' mode. Remarkably, the inflammatory macrophages induce systemic and chronic inflammation, leading to the development of inflammatory diseases and the dampened immune defensive machinery against infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Here, we discuss how the circadian clock regulates macrophage immune functions and provide the potential risk of misaligned circadian rhythms against inflammatory and infectious diseases.\n\nID: 35166129\nTitle: Circadian Control of Redox Reactions in the Macrophage Inflammatory Response.\nAbstract: Significance: Macrophages are immune sentinels located throughout the body that function in both amplification and resolution of the inflammatory response. The circadian clock has emerged as a central regulator of macrophage inflammation. Reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions are central to both the circadian clock and macrophage function. Recent Advances: Circadian regulation of metabolism controls the macrophage inflammatory response, whereby disruption of the clock causes dysfunctional inflammation. Altering metabolism and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS) production rescues the inflammatory phenotype of clock-disrupted macrophages. Critical Issues: The circadian clock possesses many layers of regulation. Understanding how redox reactions coordinate clock function is critical to uncover the full extent of circadian regulation of macrophage inflammation. We provide insights into how circadian regulation of redox affects macrophage pattern recognition receptor signaling, immunometabolism, phagocytosis, and inflammasome activation. Future Directions: Many diseases associated with aberrant macrophage-derived inflammation exhibit time-of-day rhythms in disease symptoms and severity and are sensitive to circadian disruption. Macrophage function is highly dependent on redox reactions that signal through RONS. Future studies are needed to evaluate the extent of circadian control of macrophage inflammation, specifically in the context of redox signaling. Antioxid.

Recent evidence suggests that necroptosis promotes plaque necrosis; therefore, we sought to determine how necroptotic cells (NCs) impact resolution programs in plaques. Approach and Results: To investigate the role(s) of necroptosis in advanced atherosclerosis, we used mice deficient of Mlkl, an effector of necroptosis. Mlkl-/- mice that were injected with a gain-of-function mutant PCSK9 (AAV8-gof-PCSK9) and fed a Western diet for 16 weeks, showed significantly less plaque necrosis, increased fibrous caps and improved efferocytosis compared with AAV8-gof-PCSK9 injected wt controls. Additionally, hypercholesterolemic Mlkl-/- mice had a significant increase in proresolving mediators including resolvin D1 (RvD1) and a decrease in prostanoids including thromboxane in plaques and in vitro. We found that exuberant thromboxane released by NCs impaired the clearance of both apoptotic cells and NCs through disruption of oxidative phosphorylation in macrophages. Moreover, we found that NCs did not readily synthesize RvD1 and that exogenous administration of RvD1 to macrophages rescued NC-induced defective efferocytosis. RvD1 also enhanced the uptake of NCs via the activation of p-AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), increased fatty acid oxidation, and enhanced oxidative phosphorylation in macrophages. These results suggest that NCs derange resolution by limiting key SPMs and impairing the efferocytic repertoire of macrophages. Moreover, these findings provide a molecular mechanism for RvD1 in directing proresolving metabolic programs in macrophages and further suggests RvD1 as a potential therapeutic strategy to limit NCs in tissues.

In higher order organisms, circadian rhythmicity is a central feature of innate and adaptive immunity. We focus on the role of the molecular clock and circadian rhythmicity specifically in monocytes and macrophages of the innate immune system. These cells display rhythmicity in their internal functions, such as metabolism and inflammatory mediator production as well as their external functions in pathogen sensing, phagocytosis, and migration. These inflammatory mediators are of clinical interest as many are therapeutic targets in inflammatory disease such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis. Moreover, circadian rhythm disruption is closely linked with increased prevalence of these conditions. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms by which circadian disruption affects monocyte/macrophage function will provide insights into novel therapeutic opportunities for these chronic inflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 32390637\nTitle: Omega-3 Fatty Acids Increase Amyloid-\u03b2 Immunity, Energy, and Circadian Rhythm for Cognitive Protection of Alzheimer's Disease Patients Beyond Cholinesterase Inhibitors.\nAbstract: The cholinesterase inhibitor therapeutics (CI) approved for use in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are palliative for a limited time. To examine the outcome of AD patients with add-on therapy of the omega-3 fatty acid drink Smartfish. We performed a prospective study using Mini-Mental State Examination, amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) phagocytosis blood assay, and RNA-seq of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in 28 neurodegenerative patients who had failed their therapies, including 8 subjective cognitive impairment (SCI), 8 mild cognitive impairment (MCI), 2 AD dementia, 1 frontotemporal dementia (FTD), 2 vascular cognitive impairment, and 3 dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) patients. MCI, FTD, and DLB patients patients volunteered for the addition of a \u03c9-3 fatty acid drink Smartfish protected by anti-oxidants to failing CI therapy. On this therapy, all MCI patients improved in the first year energy transcripts, A\u03b2 phagocytosis, cognition, and activities of daily living; in the long term, they remained in MCI status two to 4.5 years. All FTD and DLB patients rapidly progressed to dementia. On in vivo or in vitro\u03c9-3 treatments, peripheral blood mononuclear cells of MCI patients upregulated energy enzymes for glycolysis and citric acid cycle, as well as the anti-inflammatory circadian genes CLOCK and ARNTL2. Add-on \u03c9-3 therapy to CI may delay dementia in certain patients who had failed single CI therapy.\n\nID: 29946009\nTitle: Impaired efferocytosis and neutrophil extracellular trap clearance by macrophages in ARDS.\nAbstract: Exaggerated release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) along with decreased NET clearance and inability to remove apoptotic cells (efferocytosis) may contribute to sustained inflammation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Recent studies in experimental models of ARDS have revealed the crosstalk between AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), which may contribute to effectiveness of efferocytosis, thereby reducing inflammation and ARDS severity.We investigated neutrophil and NET clearance by macrophages from control and ARDS patients and examined how bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from control and ARDS patients could affect NET formation and efferocytosis. Metformin (an AMPK activator) and neutralising antibody against HMGB1 were applied to improve efferocytosis and NET clearance.Neutrophils from ARDS patients showed significantly reduced apoptosis. Conversely, NET formation was significantly enhanced in ARDS patients. Exposure of neutrophils to ARDS BAL fluid promoted NET production, while control BAL fluid had no effect. Macrophage engulfment of NETs and apoptotic neutrophils was diminished in ARDS patients. Notably, activation of AMPK in macrophages or neutralisation of HMGB1 in BAL fluid improved efferocytosis and NET clearance.In conclusion, restoration of AMPK activity with metformin or specific neutralisation of HMGB1 in BAL fluid represent promising therapeutic strategies to decrease sustained lung inflammation during ARDS.\n\nID: 29721990\nTitle: Opposite Roles of MerTK Ligands Gas6 and Protein S During Retinal Phagocytosis.\nAbstract: MerTK is required for photoreceptor outer segment (POS) phagocytosis by retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, a diurnal function essential for vision maintenance. In vivo, MerTK is stimulated at the time of the phagocytic peak through an intracellular signaling pathway. However, MerTK ligands Gas6 and Protein S are expressed in both RPE cells and photoreceptors, and at least one of them\u00a0required for phagocytosis to occur. Still, their exact role\u00a0in the retina was not clear until recently. This review combines results from different studies to shed the light on a tissue-specific regulation of MerTK function by its ligands. Indeed, with opposite effects on RPE phagocytosis and changes in their expression levels around the time of POS uptake, Gas6 and Protein S may contribute to the tight control of the acute phagocytic peak in the retina.\n\nID: 29281921\nTitle: Circadian Clearance of a Fungal Pathogen from the Lung Is Not Based on Cell-intrinsic Macrophage Rhythms.\nAbstract: Circadian rhythms govern immune cell function, giving rise to time-of-day variation in the recognition and clearance of bacterial or viral pathogens; to date, however, no such regulation of the host-fungal interaction has been described. In this report, we use murine models to explore circadian control of either fungal-macrophage interactions in vitro or pathogen clearance from the lung in vivo. First, we show that expression of the important fungal pattern recognition receptor Dectin-1 ( clec7a), from either bone marrow-derived or peritoneum-derived macrophages, is not under circadian regulation at either the level of transcript or cell surface protein expression. Consistent with this finding, the phagocytic activity of macrophages in culture against spores of the pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus also did not vary over time. To account for the multiple cell types and processes that may be coordinated in a circadian fashion in vivo, we examined the clearance of A. fumigatus from the lungs of immunocompetent mice. Interestingly, animals inoculated at night demonstrated a 2-fold enhancement in clearance compared with animals inoculated in the morning. Taken together, our data suggest that while molecular recognition of fungi by immune cells may not be circadian, other processes in vivo may still allow for time-of-day differences in fungal clearance from the lung.\n\nID: 28671983\nTitle: Isoflurane promotes phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils through AMPK-mediated ADAM17/Mer signaling.\nAbstract: A patient's recovery from lung inflammatory injury or development of multi-system organ failure is determined by the host's ability to resolve inflammation and repair tissue damage, both of which require the clearance of apoptotic neutrophils by macrophages (efferocytosis). Here, we investigated the effects of isoflurane on macrophage efferocytosis and resolution of lung inflammatory injury. Treatment of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) or alveolar macrophages with isoflurane dramatically enhanced phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils. Isoflurane significantly increased the surface expression of the receptor tyrosine kinase Mer in macrophages, but markedly decreased the levels of a soluble form of Mer protein in the medium. Isoflurane treatment also caused a decrease in a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) on the cell surface and a concomitant increase in its cytoplasmic fraction. These responses induced by isoflurane were completely reversed by a pharmacological inhibitor or genetic deletion of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). In a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide-induced lung injury, isoflurane accelerated the recovery of lung inflammation and injury that was coupled with an increase in the number of alveolar macrophages containing apoptotic bodies. In alveolar macrophage-depleted mice, administration of isoflurane-pretreated BMDMs facilitated resolution of lung inflammation following lipopolysaccharide challenge. Thus, isoflurane promoted resolution of lipopolysaccharide-induced lung inflammatory injury via enhancement of macrophage efferocytosis. Increased macrophage efferocytosis following isoflurane treatment correlates with upregulation of Mer surface expression through AMPK-mediated blockade of ADAM17 trafficking to the cell membrane.\n\nID: 26020972\nTitle: AICAR Enhances the Phagocytic Ability of Macrophages towards Apoptotic Cells through P38 Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase Activation Independent of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase.\nAbstract: Recent studies have suggested that 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-\u03b2-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR) increases macrophage phagocytosis through adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK). However, little information is available on the effects of AICAR on the clearance of apoptotic cells by macrophages, known as efferocytosis, which is essential in maintaining tissue homeostasis and resolving inflammation. AICAR increased p38 MAPK activation and the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by macrophages, which were inhibited by the p38 MAPK inhibitor, SB203580, the TGF-beta-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) inhibitor, (5Z)-7-oxozeaenol, and siRNA-mediated knock-down of p38\u03b1. AICAR increased phosphorylation of Akt, but the inhibition of PI3K/Akt activity using LY294002 did not affect the AICAR-induced changes in efferocytosis in macrophages. CGS15943, a non-selective adenosine receptor antagonist, did not affect AICAR-induced changes in efferocytosis, but dipyridamole, an adenosine transporter inhibitor, diminished the AICAR-mediated increases in efferocytosis. AICAR-induced p38 MAPK phosphorylation was not inhibited by the AMPK inhibitor, compound C, or siRNA-mediated knock-down of AMPK\u03b11. Inhibition of AMPK using compound C or 5'-iodotubercidin did not completely block AICAR-mediated increases in efferocytosis. Furthermore, AICAR also increased the removal of apoptotic neutrophils or thymocytes in mouse lungs. These results reveal a novel mechanism by which AICAR increases macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and suggest that AICAR may be used to treat efferocytosis-related inflammatory conditions.\n\nID: 25301234\nTitle: The Contribution of Melanoregulin to Microtubule-Associated Protein 1 Light Chain 3 (LC3) Associated Phagocytosis in Retinal Pigment Epithelium.\nAbstract: A main requisite in the phagocytosis of ingested material is a coordinated series of maturation steps which lead to the degradation of ingested cargo. Photoreceptor outer segment (POS) renewal involves phagocytosis of the distal disk membranes by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Previously, we identified melanoregulin (MREG) as an intracellular cargo-sorting protein required for the degradation of POS disks. Here, we provide evidence that MREG-dependent processing links both autophagic and phagocytic processes in LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP). Ingested POS phagosomes are associated with endogenous LC3 and MREG. The LC3 association with POSs exhibited properties of LAP; it was independent of rapamycin pretreatment, but dependent on Atg5. Loss of MREG resulted in a decrease in the extent of LC3-POS association. Studies using DQ-BSA suggest that loss of MREG does not compromise the association and fusion of LC3-positive phagosomes with lysosomes. Furthermore, the mechanism of MREG action is likely through a protein complex that includes LC3, as determined by colocalization and immunoprecipitation in both RPE cells and macrophages. We posit that MREG participates in coordinating the association of phagosomes with LC3 for content degradation with the loss of MREG leading to phagosome accumulation.\n\nID: 24942043\nTitle: Complement protein C1q and adiponectin stimulate Mer tyrosine kinase-dependent engulfment of apoptotic cells through a shared pathway.\nAbstract: The failure to clear apoptotic cells is linked to defects in development and autoimmunity. Complement component C1q is required for efficient engulfment of apoptotic cells (efferocytosis), and C1q deficiency leads to the development of lupus. We recently identified a novel molecular mechanism for C1q-dependent efferocytosis in murine macrophages. C1q elicited the expression of Mer tyrosine kinase (Mer), a receptor that regulates efficient efferocytosis and prevention of autoimmunity. To characterize the C1q-dependent signal transduction mechanism, pathway analysis of the transcriptome from C1q-activated macrophages was performed, and it identified the adiponectin signaling pathway as significantly upregulated with C1q. Adiponectin is structurally homologous to C1q and regulates cellular metabolism via downstream activation of 5'adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Macrophage stimulation with C1q resulted in the activation of AMPK, and silencing of AMPK expression using siRNA-inhibited C1q-dependent efferocytosis. Adiponectin signaling also stimulates activation of nuclear receptors, and inhibition of the nuclear receptor retinoid X receptor abrogated C1q-dependent Mer expression and efferocytosis. Furthermore, adiponectin elicited Mer expression and Mer-dependent efferocytosis in macrophages similar to cells stimulated with C1q. Collectively, our results suggest that C1q and adiponectin share a common signal transduction cascade to promote clearance of apoptotic cells, and identify a novel molecular pathway required for efficient efferocytosis.\n\nID: 24903615\nTitle: Crosstalk between circadian rhythmicity, mitochondrial dynamics and macrophage bactericidal activity.\nAbstract: Biological functions show rhythmic fluctuations with 24-hr periodicity regulated by circadian proteins encoded by the so-called 'clock' genes. The absence or deregulation of circadian proteins in mice leads to metabolic disorders and in vitro models have shown that the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines by macrophages follows a circadian rhythm so showing a link between circadian rhythmicity, metabolism and immunity. Recent evidence reveals that mitochondrial shape, position and size, collectively referred to as mitochondrial dynamics, are related to both cell metabolism and immune function. However, studies addressing the simultaneous crosstalk between circadian rhythm, mitochondrial dynamics and cell immune function are scarce. Here, by using an in vitro model of synchronized murine peritoneal macrophages, we present evidence that the mitochondrial dynamics and the mitochondrial membrane potential (\u2206\u03c8m ) follow a circadian rhythmic pattern. In addition, it is shown that the fusion of mitochondria along with high \u2206\u03c8m , indicative of high mitochondrial activity, precede the highest phagocytic and bactericidal activity of macrophages on Salmonella typhimurium. Taken together, our results suggest a timely coordination between circadian rhythmicity, mitochondrial dynamics, and the bactericidal capacity of macrophages.\n\nID: 23897815\nTitle: Mitochondria and AMP-activated protein kinase-dependent mechanism of efferocytosis.\nAbstract: Defective clearance of apoptotic cells is frequently associated with perpetuation of inflammatory conditions. Our results show a rapid activation of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) in macrophages upon exposure to apoptotic cells or lysophosphatidylcholine, a specific phospholipid that is produced and released from dying cells. AMPK activation resulted from inhibition of mitochondrial oxygen consumption and ATP production and further depended on Ca(2+) mobilization and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation. Once activated, AMPK increased microtubule synthesis and chemokinesis and provided adaptation to energy demand during tracking and engulfment. Uptake of apoptotic cells was increased in lungs of mice that received lysophosphatidylcholine. Furthermore, inhibition of AMPK diminished clearance of apoptotic thymocytes in vitro and in dexamethasone-treated mice. Taken together, we conclude that the mitochondrial AMPK axis is a sensor and enhancer of tracking and removal of apoptotic cell, processes crucial to resolution of inflammatory conditions and a return to tissue homeostasis.\n\nID: 19124657\nTitle: Efferocytosis impairs pulmonary macrophage and lung antibacterial function via PGE2/EP2 signaling.\nAbstract: The ingestion of apoptotic cells (ACs; termed \"efferocytosis\") by phagocytes has been shown to trigger the release of molecules such as transforming growth factor beta, interleukin-10 (IL-10), nitric oxide, and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)). Although the antiinflammatory actions of these mediators may contribute to the restoration of homeostasis after tissue injury, their potential impact on antibacterial defense is unknown. The lung is highly susceptible to diverse forms of injury, and secondary bacterial infections after injury are of enormous clinical importance. We show that ACs suppress in vitro phagocytosis and bacterial killing by alveolar macrophages and that this is mediated by a cyclooxygenase-PGE(2)-E prostanoid receptor 2 (EP2)-adenylyl cyclase-cyclic AMP pathway. Moreover, intrapulmonary administration of ACs demonstrated that PGE(2) generated during efferocytosis and acting via EP2 accounts for subsequent impairment of lung recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and clearance of Streptococcus pneumoniae, as well as enhanced generation of IL-10 in vivo. These results suggest that in addition to their beneficial homeostatic influence, antiinflammatory programs activated by efferocytosis in the lung have the undesirable potential to dampen innate antimicrobial responses. They also identify an opportunity to reduce the incidence and severity of pneumonia in the setting of lung injury by pharmacologically targeting synthesis of PGE(2) or ligation of EP2.\n\nID: 17693961\nTitle: Altered circadian rhythms of corticosterone, melatonin, and phagocytic activity in response to stress in rats.\nAbstract: Corticosterone is thought to be the main glucocorticoid secreted in response to stressful exercise, while melatonin buffers the adverse immunological effects of stress. The present work was aimed to evaluate whether swimming-exercise-induced stress leads to changes in the chronobiology parameters of the circadian rhythms of melatonin and corticosterone, and in the number and phagocytosis of peritoneal macrophages in 3-month-old male Wistar rats. The animals were subjected to a physical activity trial consisting of 2 h of free swimming. Radioimmunoassay was used to determine the plasma levels of melatonin and corticosterone. Phagocytosis was measured by the latex-bead phagocytosis index (PI), i.e., the number of latex beads ingested by 100 macrophages, the phagocytosis percentage (PP), i.e., the percentage of cells that had phagocytosed at least one latex bead, and the phagocytosis efficiency (PE), i.e., the ratio PI: PP which indicates how effectively the phagocytes ingested the particles. Stress significantly decreased the MESOR and amplitude of the melatonin rhythm, and significantly increased the MESOR of the corticosterone rhythm. The control animals' peritoneal macrophage number and PI showed a circadian rhythm with maxima at 02:00 and 03:00, respectively. The stressed group displayed higher values of PI than the controls at most hours of the night, but the number of cells in the peritoneal cavity was practically the same at all hours studied. These data confirm that melatonin and corticosterone act as modulators of the innate immune response, and that the circadian rhythm of the two hormones are altered in situations of stress.\n\nID: 17409491\nTitle: Characterization of the molecular clock in mouse peritoneal macrophages.\nAbstract: Macrophages play essential roles in the innate immune system. In this study, we show that macrophage functions such as phagocytosis and cytokine/chemokine expressions display a circadian rhythm that is regulated by a molecular clock. Phagocytosis, a crucial early reaction by which macrophages protect their host against foreign particles, exhibited a circadian variation that peaks during the light period and bottoms during the dark period. These diurnal changes of phagocytosis activity in macrophages were induced without exogenous stimulants such as bacterial infection. The expression of the clock genes including brain and muscle Arnt-like protein-1 (BMAL1) exhibited robust circadian rhythms in macrophages. The expression patterns of the clock genes in macrophages were similar to those in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and other peripheral tissues. Among inflammation factors examined, the level of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1/JE) mRNA exhibited most robust circadian oscillation. Expression of other cytokines such as IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNFalpha showed mild diurnal changes. Knockdown of the BMAL1 expression resulted in a decrease of the MCP-1/JE mRNA level in macrophages. BMAL1 increased significantly but weakly MCP-1/JE promoter activity. MCP-1/JE promoter activity is known to be regulated by nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB). NF-kappaB activity in BMAL1 knockdown macrophages was lower than that in control cells. Consequently, the circadian expression of MCP-1/JE in macrophages is regulated by BMAL1 through the activation of NF-kappaB. The results obtained in this study indicate that the innate immunoreactions involving macrophages are at least partly regulated by the autonomous clock machinery.\n\nID: 15663184\nTitle: Effect of orally administered L-tryptophan on serotonin, melatonin, and the innate immune response in the rat.\nAbstract: To assess the effects of external administration of L-tryptophan on the synthesis of serotonin and melatonin as well as on the immune function of Wistar rats, 300 mg of the amino acid were administered through an oral cannula either during daylight (08:00) or at night (20:00) for 5 days. Brain, plasma, and peritoneal macrophage samples were collected 4 h after the administration. The accumulation of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) after decarboxylase inhibition was used to measure the rate of tryptophan hydroxylation in vivo. Circulating melatonin levels were determined by radioimmunoassay, and the phagocytic activity of macrophages was measured by counting, under oil-immersion phase-contrast microscopy, the number of particles ingested. The results showed a diurnal increase (p < 0.05) in the brain 5-HTP, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), and 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA) of the animals which had received tryptophan at 08:00 and were killed 4 h later. In the animals which received tryptophan during the dark period, the 5-HT declined but the 5-HT/5-HIAA ratio remained unchanged. There was also a significant increase (p < 0.05) in nocturnal circulating melatonin levels and in the innate immune response of the peritoneal macrophages in the animals which had received tryptophan at 20:00. The results indicated that the synthesis of serotonin and melatonin, as well as the innate immune response, can be modulated by oral ingestion of tryptophan.\n\nID: 11316329\nTitle: Circadian rhythm of melatonin, corticosterone and phagocytosis: effect of stress.\nAbstract: Melatonin has a functional connection with the immune system. Phagocyte function is altered by extirpation of the pineal gland, one source of melatonin, or by in vitro incubation of phagocytes with pharmacological concentrations of melatonin. Given that its synthesis by pinealocytes is under the control of the noradrenaline released by the sympathetic postganglionaric nerve endings, the present work was aimed at evaluating the circadian rhythm of melatonin, corticosterone, and phagocytosis in BALB/c mice in basal and stress situations. Peritoneal macrophages were used as phagocytes, latex beads as the particles to be ingested, and forced swimming to exhaustion as the stress situation. Radioimmunoassay was used to determine the animals' serum hormone levels. Samples were taken every 3 hr in the period from 04:00 to 22:00 hr, and every 30 min during the remaining period from 22:00 to 04:00 hr. Control mice presented a short-term melatonin peak at 23:30 hr, while the maximum inert-particle ingestion capacity of the peritoneal macrophages also occurred during the night but at 03:30 hr. The corticosterone levels in control mice presented a circadian rhythm with a day-time maximum peak (16:00 hr). Compared with the controls, the animals subjected to stress maintained, although at lower values, the melatonin peak at 23:30 hr, but they presented a loss of the rhythm of serum corticosterone levels, and the corticosterone levels and the macrophage phagocytic capacity were greater at all hours of the day.\n\nID: 1394604\nTitle: Influence of circadian light-dark alternations on macrophages and lymphocytes of CBA mouse.\nAbstract: The influence of circadian 12 h light-12 h dark alternations on CBA mouse macrophages and lymphocytes was determined using tests for macrophage spreading and ingestion ability or flow cytometry immunophenotyping of blood, lymph node, and spleen lymphocytes. The animals were tested every 4 h around the clock. Collected macrophages were incubated in vitro for 3 or 18 h. Monoclonal antibodies permitted detection of T-lymphocytes, suppressor-cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, helper-inducer T-lymphocytes, or B-lymphocytes. Two types of analyses were performed: First, the difference between the same intervals of the 12 h light or dark period was determined. The macrophage ingestion was significantly lower at the beginning and higher at the end of the dark period. We have also found a significant increase in blood T-lymphocytes of helper-inducer T-lymphocyte percentages and of the T helper-inducer: T suppressor-cytotoxic ratio during the dark period. Second, the ultradian variation during the 12 h light or dark period was determined. The variability was significant both for macrophage spreading and ingestion. Multiple significant variations of lymph node, spleen, or blood lymphocyte percentages were also observed. All of these data indicate that daily alteration of the lighting regimen significantly influences mouse peritoneal macrophage functions and various lymphocyte subsets.\n\nID: 42558291\nTitle: IL-33 promotes efferocytosis by peritoneal macrophages by a mechanism associated with rapid granulocyte IL-13 production.\nAbstract: Resolution of inflammation is an active process that requires efferocytosis, the engulfment of apoptotic cells by macrophages, mediated by receptors such as MerTK. IL-33 is an alarmin that initiates type 2 immune responses, including increased production of IL-13, which promotes MerTK expression. The ability of IL-33 to promote efferocytosis in vivo was examined. Intraperitoneal administration of IL-33 to mice increased local MerTK+ macrophage numbers within 48h. MerTK+ macrophages were not similarly induced by free mitochondria, an alternative cell damage associated signal. Efferocytotic activity was increased rapidly in response to apoptotic thymocytes in IL-33-treated mice. The established inducer of MerTK expression, IL-13, was detected in peritoneal lavage fluid shortly after IL-33 administration. Peritoneal eosinophils expressed the IL-33 receptor and demonstrated both intracellular IL-13 by flow cytometry and significantly increased Il13 transcript expression following IL-33 treatment. In contrast, neither elevated IL-13 expression nor IL-13 protein secretion was observed in peritoneal lymphocyte populations within the first 6 hours after IL-33 administration. Primary cultures of bone marrow-derived mouse mast cells and eosinophils demonstrated IL-13 protein responses to IL-33 administration within 6\u00a0h. Mast cell-deficient Cpa3-Cre; Mcl-1fl/fl mice had significantly reduced IL-13 levels in the peritoneal cavity 3 hours after IL-33 administration when compared with mast cell-containing littermates. In contrast, IL-33-treated eosinophil-deficient \u0394dblGATA mice had similar levels of IL-13 at this time point as wild type controls. These data demonstrate that IL-33 promotes MerTK expression, critical for efferocytosis by macrophages, by a process associated with an early rapid local increase in IL-13 production to which mast cells are a substantial early contributor. These findings contribute to our understanding of clinical situations where elevated soluble IL-33 receptor (sST2) and/or lower mast cell numbers are associated with worse clinical outcome.\n\nID: 42558044\nTitle: Macrophage PIM1 Drives Atherosclerosis by Enhancing Foam Cell Formation Via CD36.\nAbstract: Atherosclerosis is characterized by the buildup of fatty plaques that thicken and stiffen arterial walls. Macrophages (M\u03c6s) significantly contribute to this process through their scavenger receptor CD36. PIM1 is a serine/threonine kinase known to modulate immune responses and cell metabolism. However, its role in M\u03c6 lipid handling and atherogenesis is not well defined. This study examines the role of PIM1 in regulating CD36 expression and function in M\u03c6s during foam cell formation and atherosclerosis progression. We performed in vitro studies by treating murine peritoneal M\u03c6s from Pim1-/- and wild-type mice with oxLDL (oxidized low-density lipoprotein). We measured CD36, PIM1, and plaque-associated proteins and mRNA levels, oxLDL binding and uptake rates, and foam cell formation. For in vivo studies, we fed myeloid-specific Pim1-deficient (Apoe-/-Lyz2Cre/+Pim1fl/fl) and their littermate control (Apoe-/-Pim1fl/fl) mice a high-fat diet for 12 weeks. We then evaluated plaque formation in their aortic sinuses and arches. Deletion of Pim1 in M\u03c6s reduced CD36 protein expression by up to 96.7% compared with wild-type controls. This led to a 49.6% decrease in foam cell formation and a 25.5% reduction in cellular cholesterol after oxLDL treatment. Pharmacological inhibition of PIM kinase activity in wild-type M\u03c6s also impaired oxLDL handling, with a 64.5% reduction in binding and a 57.9% reduction in uptake. Bulk RNA-sequencing revealed that Pim1 deficiency downregulated PPAR\u03b3 (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma) signaling. Treatment with a PPAR\u03b3 agonist restored CD36 levels in the Pim1 knockdown M\u03c6s, suggesting that PIM1 regulates CD36 through PPAR\u03b3. Moreover, Pim1 myeloid-specific deficiency caused a 69.4% reduction in atherosclerotic plaque formation. PIM1 acts as a key upstream regulator of CD36 by enhancing PPAR\u03b3 activity in M\u03c6s. The PIM1-CD36 axis promotes oxLDL binding, uptake, and foam cell formation. Targeting the PIM1/PPAR\u03b3/CD36 pathway could offer new ways to modulate M\u03c6 lipid metabolism and reduce atherosclerotic plaque progression.\n\nID: 42552636\nTitle: 4-Octyl Itaconate Promotes Diabetic Wound Healing by Enhancing Pro-Resolving Macrophages via the Efferocytosis-MCT1-Lactate-GPR132 Pathway and Macrophage-Independent Synergistic Effects.\nAbstract: \n\nID: 42541333\nTitle: NLRC5-Deficient Macrophages Promote a Tumor-Permissive Phenotype via AXL- and MERTK-Mediated Efferocytosis.\nAbstract: The innate immune protein NLRC5 plays a key role in cancer immune surveillance. Reduced NLRC5 expression is associated with a poor prognosis for many types of cancers. Previously, we showed that mice with a myeloid-specific deletion of Nlrc5 (Nlrc5m\u00f8-KO) develop gastric lymphoid lesions to Helicobacter infection resembling early-stage marginal zone lymphoma. We hypothesized that NLRC5 deficiency may promote a tumor-permissive microenvironment mediated by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Consistent with this hypothesis, splenic macrophages from Helicobacter-infected Nlrc5m\u00f8-KO mice had upregulated expression of genes encoding the TAM receptor tyrosine kinases, Axl and Mertk. The levels of AXL and MERTK gene expression and MERTK phosphorylation were increased in NLRC5-/- THP-1 macrophages when compared with WT cells. In response to Helicobacter stimulation, Nlrc5-/- macrophages had significantly elevated anti-inflammatory responses (IL-10, TGF-\u03b2, Socs1, Socs3) compared with WT cells. Importantly, Nlrc5-/-macrophages showed enhanced efferocytosis and reduced antigen presentation to CD8+ T cells. Pretreatment of macrophages with AXL and MERTK inhibitors (R428, UNC2025) resulted in reduced efferocytosis and phosphorylation of downstream signaling molecules, STAT3 and ERK1/2. We propose that defective NLRC5 signaling in macrophages leads to tumor-permissive responses, thereby promoting the development of gastric lymphoid neogenesis to Helicobacter infection.\n\nID: 42539792\nTitle: Fetal sex shapes maternal immune adaptation: placental extracellular vesicles differentially reprogram the phenotype, metabolism, and function of circulating monocytes.\nAbstract: Maternal immune adaptation during pregnancy is orchestrated by dynamic signals from the uterine microenvironment, including placental extracellular vesicles (pEVs) released into maternal circulation. EVs have emerged as key mediators of this crosstalk; however, their role in sex-specific immune modulation remains incompletely defined. Here, we investigated whether pEVs derived from term placentas induce sex-dependent changes in the phenotype, metabolism, and function of human monocytes. pEVs were isolated from 13 term uncomplicated placentas (six male-derived, M-pEVs, and seven female-derived, F-pEVs) and characterized by complementary approaches, revealing similar size distributions and concentrations, with differences in physicochemical properties and molecular cargo. Circulating monocytes from 17 non-pregnant female donors were exposed to M-pEVs or F-pEVs and analyzed for phenotypic, metabolic, and functional responses. pEVs induced distinct activation profiles depending on fetal sex. F-pEVs reduced CD11b and CD11c expression while increasing CD14, CD39 and IL-10 production. On the other hand, M-pEVs increased CD14 expression and enhanced IL-1\u03b2 secretion. Both nanovesicles populations increased IL-10 and CXCL8 release and promoted a shift toward classical monocytes (CD14+CD16-) with a reduction in the intermediate subsets. Metabolic analyses revealed divergent immunometabolic programs: M-pEVs promoted lactate and reactive oxygen species production, whereas F-pEVs enhanced lactate production, fatty acid uptake, lipid droplet accumulation, and mitochondrial activity without increasing ROS. Functionally, both pEV populations increased efferocytosis, with a distinct sensitivity to metabolic inhibitors. These findings demonstrate that pEVs differentially modulate circulating monocytes according to fetal sex and support a role for fetal sex in shaping maternal immunometabolic responses.\n\nID: 42535557\nTitle: Role of Lipin-1 in Macrophage-Mediated Atherosclerosis: Is It Atherogenic or Atheroprotective?\nAbstract: Macrophages are central regulators of atherosclerosis, governing lipid accumulation, inflammatory signaling, and plaque stability. Lipin-1 is a multifunctional lipid-metabolic regulator that integrates cellular metabolism with inflammatory responses through its dual roles as a phosphatidic acid phosphatase enzyme and a transcriptional coregulator. However, its role in macrophage-driven atherosclerosis remains controversial. This review critically evaluates the domain-specific functions of lipin-1 and their impact on disease progression. Accumulating evidence indicates that lipin-1 exerts divergent, domain-dependent effects. The transcriptional coregulatory activity of lipin-1 promotes peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor \u03b3 coactivator 1-\u03b1 signaling, enhances fatty acid \u03b2-oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation, and supports interleukin-4-driven proresolving macrophage polarization. It also enhances efferocytosis, suppresses sterol regulatory element-binding protein-mediated lipogenesis, and reduces oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced foam-cell formation. These effects are associated with reduced necrotic core formation, lower interleukin-23 signaling, diminished macrophage necroptosis, and improved plaque stability in experimental models. In contrast, the phosphatidic acid phosphatase enzymatic activity of lipin-1 activates diacylglycerol-dependent protein kinase C-extracellular signal-regulated kinase- activator protein-1 and toll-like receptor 4 signaling, promotes inflammatory eicosanoid production, enhances oxidized low-density lipoprotein uptake, impairs cholesterol efflux, and accelerates foam-cell formation and vascular inflammation. Myeloid-specific loss of phosphatidic acid phosphatase activity reduces lesion size and inflammatory burden while improving macrophage lipid handling. Collectively, current evidence supports a domain- and context-dependent role for lipin-1 in atherosclerosis. The transcriptional coregulatory function appears predominantly atheroprotective, whereas phosphatidic acid phosphatase enzymatic activity is proinflammatory and atherogenic. Selective modulation of lipin-1 activity in macrophages may therefore represent a promising therapeutic strategy to limit atherosclerosis progression while preserving inflammation-resolving pathways.\n\nID: 42530332\nTitle: Islet-Resident Macrophages as Dynamic Immunometabolic Integrators of \u03b2-Cell Fate in Health and Diabetes.\nAbstract: Islet-resident macrophages (IRMs) have emerged as important regulators of pancreatic islet biology, operating at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. Beyond their classical roles as immune sentinels, accumulating evidence indicates that IRMs dynamically integrate \u03b2-cell activity, environmental cues, and metabolic stress, thereby coordinating islet homeostasis, adaptive remodelling, and disease progression. However, their context-dependent functions and therapeutic potential remain incompletely understood. This review summarizes current evidence regarding IRM origins, phenotype, metabolic plasticity, and bidirectional crosstalk with \u03b2 cells in health, type 1 diabetes, and type 2 diabetes. We further review emerging therapeutic concepts targeting macrophage metabolism, intercellular communication, and organelle function, while discussing current challenges in translating findings from murine IRMs to human disease. Under physiological conditions, IRMs maintain islet integrity through surveillance, efferocytosis, trophic signalling, redox control, and maintenance of intercellular communication within the islet niche. In diabetes, chronic glucolipotoxicity, autoimmunity, oxidative stress, and amyloid-associated injury can redirect these homeostatic programs toward maladaptive inflammatory states that impair insulin secretion and accelerate \u03b2-cell loss. Collectively, these findings support a unified framework in which IRMs act as immunometabolic hubs integrating local and systemic signals to determine \u03b2-cell fate. IRMs represent central immunometabolic hubs that orchestrate \u03b2-cell fate during health and diabetes. Emerging therapeutic strategies targeting macrophage metabolism, intercellular communication, and organelle function may help prioritize future mechanistic studies and guide safer macrophage-centered interventions for diabetes.\n\nID: 42523480\nTitle: Reduced LACTB expression in myeloid cells is associated with elevated succinylcarnitine and reduced Alzheimer's disease risk.\nAbstract: Lactamase \u03b2 (LACTB) is a serine \u03b2-lactamase-like mitochondrial enzyme genetically associated with obesity, kidney disease, and hyperlipidemia. LACTB is located in an Alzheimer's Disease (AD) risk locus and its expression in the brain has been genetically associated with AD susceptibility. The aim of this study was to investigate LACTB function and genetic link to AD in myeloid cells, due to their central role in modulating AD risk. Our Mendelian randomization analyses revealed that lower LACTB expression in myeloid cells is genetically associated with reduced disease susceptibility and increased succinylcarnitine, a metabolite independently associated with AD risk. We identified LACTB as a primary enzyme responsible for succinylcarnitine hydrolysis. In human macrophages and microglia, LACTB loss promoted enhanced oxidative phosphorylation, reduced protein synthesis and altered lipid homeostasis. LACTB expression was upregulated following interferon or TNF stimulation, and LACTB loss modified efferocytosis-related functions under inflammatory conditions. In vivo, xenotransplanted human LACTB knockout microglia showed enhanced association with amyloid plaques in the mouse brain. Together, these findings experimentally validated the genetic association between reduced LACTB expression and elevated succinylcarnitine and identified LACTB as an inflammation-responsive regulator of myeloid cell metabolism and function that may contribute to its protective genetic association with AD. Given its druggability and potential to use succinylcarnitine as a genetically-validated endophenotype and target engagement biomarker, LACTB represents a promising therapeutic target for AD.\n\nID: 42519318\nTitle: Immunometabolic regulation in gouty arthritis: current evidence, mechanistic insights, and remaining challenges.\nAbstract: Gouty arthritis is driven by monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition and acute activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome-IL-1\u03b2 axis. However, crystal burden alone does not fully explain asymptomatic crystal deposition, recurrent flares, or the self-limiting nature of acute inflammation. Immunometabolism provides a useful perspective for understanding these differences. In macrophages, glycolysis supports pro-IL-1\u03b2 expression and inflammatory mediator production, while tricarboxylic acid cycle remodeling, mitochondrial stress, and reactive oxygen species may contribute to inflammasome activation. In neutrophils, glycolysis sustains rapid effector functions, including chemotaxis, degranulation, ROS production, and neutrophil extracellular trap formation. During later stages, efferocytosis, lipid mediator switching, and mitochondrial adaptation may promote inflammation resolution. Systemic metabolic abnormalities may further influence recurrence susceptibility by altering innate immune responsiveness to MSU crystals. This review summarizes current evidence linking immunometabolic pathways to gouty inflammation and discusses remaining questions regarding cell specificity, temporal sequence, causal relevance, and therapeutic translation.\n\nID: 42502712\nTitle: Macrophage: Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets.\nAbstract: Macrophages are sentinel innate immune cells that arise from embryonic precursors and bone marrow monocytes, displaying a functional continuum that transcends the classical M1 (pro-inflammatory)/M2 (anti-inflammatory) dichotomy. Under homeostatic conditions, balanced M1/M2 polarization preserves tissue integrity by coordinating immune surveillance, efferocytosis, and tissue repair. When this equilibrium is disrupted, however, M1-skewed responses drive chronic inflammation and autoimmunity, whereas M2-skewed polarization facilitates tumor immune evasion and organ fibrosis. Although diverse therapeutic strategies-including reprogramming, depletion, blockade of monocyte recruitment, CAR-M cells, and nanomedicine-are being explored to restore homeostasis, clinical translation remains constrained by the lack of pathogenic subset-specific markers, insufficient predictive biomarkers for patient stratification, species divergence between mice and humans, and the temporal complexity of context-dependent intervention windows. In this Review, we systematically delineate macrophage plasticity and the molecular mechanisms underlying polarization imbalance, evaluate existing and emerging macrophage-directed interventions, and dissect these translational bottlenecks in depth, highlighting how single-cell multi-omics, humanized models, and dynamic biomarkers can overcome them. By providing a roadmap for precisely calibrating macrophage functional states and restoring M1/M2 balance, this framework will accelerate the development of precision immunotherapies aimed at re-establishing immune homeostasis across a broad spectrum of human pathologies.\n\nID: 42488660\nTitle: SIRT3 in post-myocardial infarction macrophage reprogramming: linking mitochondrial fitness to inflammation resolution and repair.\nAbstract: Myocardial infarction (MI) remains a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality worldwide. Despite significant advances in reperfusion strategies and pharmacotherapy, persistent inflammation and adverse ventricular remodeling continue to underlie poor long-term clinical outcomes. Macrophages serve as central orchestrators of post-MI healing, coordinating the clearance of necrotic debris, resolution of inflammation, remodeling of the extracellular matrix, and maturation of the fibrotic scar. However, the conventional M1/M2 dichotomy fails to fully capture the dynamic, phenotypically heterogeneous, and metabolically constrained macrophage states that emerge during infarct healing. In this review, we synthesize current evidence supporting a trajectory-based framework for macrophage reprogramming following MI and emphasize mitochondrial fitness as a critical determinant governing the transition from sustained inflammation to reparative resolution. We summarize key metabolic checkpoints regulating this functional shift-including glycolytic rewiring, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle remodeling, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) accumulation, efferocytosis, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), fatty acid oxidation (FAO), and mitochondrial quality control. Furthermore, we advance the hypothesis that SIRT3-the principal mitochondrial NAD+-dependent deacetylase-may act as a central regulatory node linking mitochondrial protein acetylation to macrophage state transitions after MI. Specifically, we outline a staged dual-axis working model, generated from convergent but largely indirect evidence, in which the SOD2-mtROS axis is more closely linked to early nonresolving inflammation, whereas the PDHA1-metabolic flexibility axis may be more relevant to efferocytosis-associated reparative transition. We further highlight NAD+ availability as an upstream limiting factor that may constrain SIRT3 activity in macrophages under ischemic-inflammatory stress. Finally, we critically evaluate the current evidence hierarchy, human translatability, therapeutic strategies, and key translational challenges-emphasizing considerations of timing, cellular specificity, delivery modalities, and target engagement. Although macrophage-specific causal evidence in myocardial infarction (MI) remains sparse, this framework is intended as a mechanistically coherent and experimentally tractable working hypothesis to guide future investigations into macrophage immunometabolism and mitochondrial-targeted interventions in post-infarction cardiac repair. Accordingly, the proposed framework should be viewed as a testable working hypothesis rather than a settled causal model of macrophage fate control in MI.\n\nID: 42483195\nTitle: Efferocytosis-associated Mrc1+Gas6+ macrophages are linked to abdominal aortic aneurysm progression through ERK-associated dysfunction.\nAbstract: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a progressive vascular disease characterized by chronic inflammation, extracellular matrix degradation, and aortic wall remodeling, yet effective pharmacological therapies remain lacking and how macrophage state heterogeneity contributes to disease progression and defective inflammation resolution remains incompletely understood. We combined single-cell RNA sequencing of elastase-induced murine AAA with pathway, cell-cell communication, trajectory, and regulon analyses, and validated key findings in vivo by immunostaining and flow cytometry and in vitro by pharmacologic ERK inhibition, gene-expression analysis, and macrophage efferocytosis assays. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis identified four macrophage subsets in AAA, comprising Thbs1+Spp1+ inflammatory macrophages, Mrc1+Gas6+ efferocytosis-associated macrophages, Cdca8+ proliferative macrophages, and Cd36+Lpl+ lipid-handling macrophages. AAA progression was characterized by expansion of Thbs1+Spp1+ macrophages and emergence of Cdca8+ macrophages, together with relative loss of Mrc1+Gas6+ and Cd36+Lpl+ macrophages. Thbs1+Spp1+ macrophages showed inflammatory, chemotactic, oxidative stress, and metabolic remodeling signatures, whereas Mrc1+Gas6+ macrophages were enriched for efferocytosis- and homeostasis-associated features but exhibited increased apoptosis-related signals and reduced expression of Mertk, Gas6, and Igf1 during AAA progression. ERK signaling was overactivated in AAA and associated with loss of these effectors and impaired macrophage efferocytosis, whereas ERK inhibition restored Mertk, Gas6, and Igf1 expression and enhanced uptake of apoptotic cells in macrophage-line models. Trajectory and regulon analyses further suggested that inflammatory and efferocytosis-associated macrophages follow distinct state trajectories, with Maf emerging as a candidate regulator of the Mrc1+Gas6+ program. AAA is characterized by an imbalance between inflammatory and efferocytosis-associated macrophage states. ERK-associated dysfunction of Mrc1+Gas6+ macrophages may contribute to defective inflammation resolution and represents a potential therapeutic target in aneurysmal disease.\n\nID: 42464553\nTitle: [Research progress on immune microenvironment imbalance and targeted interventions in osteoarthritis comorbid with diabetes mellitus].\nAbstract: To summarize the research progress on immune microenvironment imbalance and targeted interventions in osteoarthritis comorbid with diabetes mellitus, so as to provide a reference for the development of disease-modifying therapies and individualized local drug-delivery strategies for this comorbid population. Relevant domestic and international studies published in recent years were reviewed. Focusing on the \"oxidative stress-immune interaction\" axis, the major alterations and cellular network characteristics of the immune microenvironment in osteoarthritis comorbid with diabetes mellitus were summarized, with emphasis on microenvironment-targeted intervention strategies, including small-molecule drug repurposing, nanodelivery systems, exosome/nucleic acid-based therapeutics, and injectable biomaterials. Challenges and prospects related to stratified diagnosis and treatment, efficacy endpoints, and long-term safety in clinical translation were also discussed. The core pathological basis of osteoarthritis comorbid with diabetes mellitus involves hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress and immunometabolic reprogramming. Through mechanisms such as the accumulation of advanced glycation end products, lipotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and abnormalities in the gut-joint axis, these changes promote persistent synovitis, extracellular matrix degradation, pain sensitization, and structural joint damage. Immune microenvironment imbalance is mainly characterized by pro-inflammatory polarization of synovial macrophages with impaired efferocytosis, T helper 17 cells/regulatory T cells imbalance, reduced immunomodulatory capacity of mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomes, and senescence-associated immune remodeling in bone marrow lesion areas. Based on these mechanisms, targeted intervention strategies, including small-molecule drug repurposing, nanodelivery systems, exosome/nucleic acid-based therapeutics, and injectable biomaterials, have shown promising application prospects. However, their clinical translation still faces challenges, such as insufficient stratified diagnosis and treatment, inadequate efficacy evaluation systems, and limited long-term safety evidence. The development and progression of osteoarthritis comorbid with diabetes mellitus are closely associated with the persistent interplay among metabolic abnormalities, oxidative stress, and immune microenvironment imbalance. Targeted interventions based on modulation of the local joint microenvironment may relieve pain, improve joint function, and delay the progression of structural joint damage, thereby providing new insights into disease-modifying therapy. Future studies should further refine stratified diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, optimize biomarker selection and delivery platform design, and strengthen long-term safety evaluation to facilitate clinical translation of these strategies. \u603b\u7ed3\u7cd6\u5c3f\u75c5\u5171\u75c5\u80cc\u666f\u4e0b\u9aa8\u5173\u8282\u708e\u514d\u75ab\u5fae\u73af\u5883\u5931\u8861\u53ca\u9776\u5411\u5e72\u9884\u7814\u7a76\u8fdb\u5c55\uff0c\u4ee5\u671f\u4e3a\u5171\u75c5\u4eba\u7fa4\u75be\u75c5\u4fee\u9970\u6cbb\u7597\u548c\u4e2a\u4f53\u5316\u5c40\u90e8\u7ed9\u836f\u65b9\u6848\u7684\u5f00\u53d1\u63d0\u4f9b\u53c2\u8003\u3002. \u56de\u987e\u8fd1\u5e74\u56fd\u5185\u5916\u76f8\u5173\u7814\u7a76\u6587\u732e\uff0c\u4ee5\u201c\u6c27\u5316\u5e94\u6fc0-\u514d\u75ab\u4e92\u4f5c\u201d\u4e3a\u4e3b\u7ebf\uff0c\u603b\u7ed3\u7cd6\u5c3f\u75c5\u5171\u75c5\u80cc\u666f\u4e0b\u9aa8\u5173\u8282\u708e\u514d\u75ab\u5fae\u73af\u5883\u7684\u4e3b\u8981\u6539\u53d8\u548c\u7ec6\u80de\u7f51\u7edc\u7279\u5f81\uff0c\u91cd\u70b9\u5f52\u7eb3\u5c0f\u5206\u5b50\u836f\u7269\u518d\u5229\u7528\u3001\u7eb3\u7c73\u9012\u9001\u3001\u5916\u6ccc\u4f53/\u6838\u9178\u836f\u7269\u548c\u53ef\u6ce8\u5c04\u751f\u7269\u6750\u6599\u7b49\u5fae\u73af\u5883\u9776\u5411\u5e72\u9884\u7b56\u7565\uff0c\u8ba8\u8bba\u4e34\u5e8a\u8f6c\u5316\u4e2d\u5206\u5c42\u8bca\u7597\u3001\u7597\u6548\u7ec8\u70b9\u548c\u957f\u671f\u5b89\u5168\u6027\u7b49\u6311\u6218\u548c\u524d\u666f\u3002. \u7cd6\u5c3f\u75c5\u5171\u75c5\u9aa8\u5173\u8282\u708e\u7684\u6838\u5fc3\u75c5\u7406\u57fa\u7840\u4e3a\u9ad8\u8840\u7cd6\u8bf1\u5bfc\u7684\u6c27\u5316\u5e94\u6fc0\u4e0e\u514d\u75ab\u4ee3\u8c22\u91cd\u7f16\u7a0b\uff0c\u53ef\u901a\u8fc7\u665a\u671f\u7cd6\u57fa\u5316\u7ec8\u672b\u4ea7\u7269\u79ef\u7d2f\u3001\u8102\u6bd2\u6027\u3001\u7ebf\u7c92\u4f53\u529f\u80fd\u969c\u788d\u53ca\u80a0-\u5173\u8282\u8f74\u5f02\u5e38\u7b49\u673a\u5236\uff0c\u4fc3\u8fdb\u6ed1\u819c\u708e\u6301\u7eed\u5b58\u5728\u3001\u8f6f\u9aa8\u57fa\u8d28\u964d\u89e3\u3001\u75bc\u75db\u654f\u5316\u53ca\u5173\u8282\u7ed3\u6784\u635f\u4f24\u3002\u5176\u514d\u75ab\u5fae\u73af\u5883\u5931\u8861\u4e3b\u8981\u6d89\u53ca\u6ed1\u819c\u5de8\u566c\u7ec6\u80de\u4fc3\u708e\u504f\u79fb\u4e0e\u51cb\u4ea1\u7ec6\u80de\u6e05\u9664\u53d7\u635f\u3001\u8f85\u52a9\u6027T\u7ec6\u80de17/\u8c03\u8282\u6027T\u7ec6\u80de\u5931\u8861\u3001MSCs\u53ca\u5176\u5916\u6ccc\u4f53\u514d\u75ab\u8c03\u8282\u80fd\u529b\u51cf\u5f31\uff0c\u4ee5\u53ca\u9aa8\u9ad3\u75c5\u7076\u533a\u8870\u8001\u76f8\u5173\u514d\u75ab\u91cd\u5851\u3002\u56f4\u7ed5\u4e0a\u8ff0\u673a\u5236\uff0c\u5c0f\u5206\u5b50\u836f\u7269\u518d\u5229\u7528\u3001\u7eb3\u7c73\u9012\u9001\u3001\u5916\u6ccc\u4f53/\u6838\u9178\u836f\u7269\u53ca\u53ef\u6ce8\u5c04\u751f\u7269\u6750\u6599\u7b49\u9776\u5411\u5e72\u9884\u7b56\u7565\u663e\u793a\u51fa\u4e00\u5b9a\u5e94\u7528\u524d\u666f\uff0c\u4f46\u4ecd\u9700\u89e3\u51b3\u5206\u5c42\u8bca\u7597\u3001\u7597\u6548\u8bc4\u4ef7\u53ca\u957f\u671f\u5b89\u5168\u6027\u7b49\u8f6c\u5316\u95ee\u9898\u3002. \u7cd6\u5c3f\u75c5\u5171\u75c5\u9aa8\u5173\u8282\u708e\u7684\u53d1\u751f\u53d1\u5c55\u4e0e\u4ee3\u8c22\u5f02\u5e38\u3001\u6c27\u5316\u5e94\u6fc0\u548c\u514d\u75ab\u5fae\u73af\u5883\u5931\u8861\u7684\u6301\u7eed\u4e92\u4f5c\u5bc6\u5207\u76f8\u5173\u3002\u57fa\u4e8e\u5173\u8282\u5c40\u90e8\u5fae\u73af\u5883\u8c03\u63a7\u7684\u9776\u5411\u5e72\u9884\u6709\u671b\u7f13\u89e3\u75bc\u75db\u3001\u6539\u5584\u5173\u8282\u529f\u80fd\uff0c\u5e76\u5ef6\u7f13\u5173\u8282\u7ed3\u6784\u635f\u4f24\u8fdb\u5c55\uff0c\u4e3a\u75be\u75c5\u4fee\u9970\u6cbb\u7597\u63d0\u4f9b\u65b0\u601d\u8def\u3002\u672a\u6765\u9700\u8fdb\u4e00\u6b65\u5b8c\u5584\u5206\u5c42\u8bca\u7597\u7b56\u7565\uff0c\u4f18\u5316\u751f\u7269\u6807\u5fd7\u7269\u7b5b\u9009\u4e0e\u9012\u9001\u5e73\u53f0\u8bbe\u8ba1\uff0c\u5e76\u52a0\u5f3a\u957f\u671f\u5b89\u5168\u6027\u8bc4\u4ef7\uff0c\u4e3a\u76f8\u5173\u7b56\u7565\u7684\u4e34\u5e8a\u8f6c\u5316\u5960\u5b9a\u57fa\u7840\u3002.\n\nID: 42459689\nTitle: Neutrophil death pathways in myocardial infarction: the balance between injury and repair.\nAbstract: Following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), neutrophils rush to the damaged heart tissue. Their presence is critical, and how they die influences whether the heart heals or suffers further injury. This outcome depends on specific cell death pathways of neutrophils, including NETosis, apoptosis, and autophagy. NETosis can be harmful when neutrophils release sticky, web-like structures (NETs) filled with toxic enzymes, particularly during early thromboinflammatory amplification. These webs trap platelets and trigger clotting, which blocks blood vessels and worsens heart damage. In contrast, timely neutrophil apoptosis is a quiet, controlled death that signals cleanup cells (macrophages) to remove debris and start tissue repair, although apoptotic signaling in other cardiac cell types or inappropriate time windows may be detrimental. Autophagy acts as a regulator, helping determine which of these paths the cell takes. Furthermore, platelets could modulate these specific cell death pathways by releasing soluble mediators (e.g., P-selectin, HMGB1, polyP, CXCL4), promoting NETosis while suppressing apoptosis to exacerbate ischemic myocardial injury. Some anti-inflammatory strategies could fail if broad immune suppression inadvertently disrupts reparative neutrophil apoptosis and efferocytosis. Future therapies could aim to precisely block pathological NETosis or support timely neutrophil apoptosis to limit injury and improve heart recovery.\n\nID: 42459154\nTitle: A NANOBODY molecule that blocks MerTK ectodomain cleavage in vitro and in vivo.\nAbstract: The membrane receptor MerTK is critical for the resolution of inflammation and thus is of pharmacological interest. MerTK function is inhibited by the proteolytic cleavage of its extracellular domain leading to the formation of soluble Mer (sMer). We describe here the NANOBODY molecule A0445046C08 and its half-life-extended version A044500050. Both bound selectively to MerTK and blocked lipopolysaccharide-induced MerTK cleavage in primary macrophages without influencing ligand binding or kinase activity of MerTK. A044500050 reduced Zymosan-induced sMer levels in the peritoneal lavage fluid of a mouse model with sterile peritonitis. The study demonstrates that NANOBODY molecules can be generated that selectively inhibit ectodomain shedding and outlines a novel pharmacological approach for targeting membrane proteins where aberrant cleavage plays a pathogenic role.\n\nID: 42458117\nTitle: FADS1-mediated Efferocytosis in Tumor-Associated Macrophages Shapes an Immunosuppressive Microenvironment in Gastric Cancer.\nAbstract: Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a central role in tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. Alterations in unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) metabolism are known to contribute to the immunosuppressive properties of TAMs. However, the complex regulatory relationship between UFAs metabolism and TAMs during gastric cancer (GC) progression remains largely unclear. Through a comprehensive analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing and transcriptomic data, we found that the UFAs biosynthesis-related enzyme FADS1 holds prognostic significance in GC within TAMs. Clinically, a high infiltration of FADS1+TAMs strongly correlates with poor prognosis and immunotherapy resistance across several GC cohorts. Using in vitro co-culture systems and in vivo mouse models, our data suggest that FADS1+TAMs actively contribute to an immunosuppressive microenvironment, potentially driving CD8+T cell dysfunction. Mechanistically, our findings indicate that FADS1 mediated DHA synthesis and activated PPAR\u03b3, which subsequently promotes efferocytosis and inhibit the STING-IFN-I signaling pathway in TAMs. Notably, systemic pharmacological targeting of FADS1 exerted a significant sensitizing effect in mouse ectopic GC models, inhibiting tumor growth, enhancing CD8+T cells cytotoxicity, and improving the efficacy of PD-1 blockade. Overall, our study highlights FADS1+TAMs as a critical component of GC progression and a potential exploratory biomarker for immunotherapy responsiveness. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of FADS1 represents a promising combinatorial strategy for reshaping the TME and enhancing immune checkpoint blockade efficacy in preclinical settings.\n\nID: 42455134\nTitle: Myeloid PKM2 deficiency alleviates allergic airway inflammation and promotes macrophage efferocytosis via SLC13A3.\nAbstract: Allergic asthma is characterized by chronic airway inflammation that fails to resolve efficiently. Defective efferocytosis and metabolic reprogramming of macrophages are crucial factors in allergic diseases. While PKM2 is known to participate in phagocytosis and metabolism, its specific role in modulating asthma remains unclear. To delineate the underlying mechanisms of PKM2 in allergic asthma. We generated myeloid cell-specific LysMcrePKM2fl/fl mice, with littermate PKM2fl/fl mice serving as controls, and challenged them with ovalbumin (OVA) extract to induce allergic airway inflammation. In vivo, we assessed airway hyperresponsiveness, pulmonary inflammation, Th2 cytokine levels, apoptosis, and efferocytosis-related receptor expression. Primary bone marrow-derived macrophages(BMDMs) were isolated for in vitro evaluation of efferocytic activity under distinct polarization conditions. To investigate underlying mechanisms, we performed RNA-seq to identify PKM2 downstream targets, followed by lentiviral-mediated overexpression of the candidate molecule SLC13A3 in THP-1 cells, with validation through molecular docking, immunoprecipitation, and functional assays. We found that PKM2 is upregulated in macrophages during asthma. Myeloid cell-specific PKM2 deficiency mitigated OVA-induced Th2 inflammation and eosinophilic apoptosis while reducing airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Mechanistically, PKM2-expressing macrophages exhibited decreased SLC13A3 transcription, which drove activation of the PI3K-AKT and redistributed STAT6/1 ratio to impair efferocytosis. This impairment disturbed the M2/M1 balance. In vitro experiments confirmed that SLC13A3 overexpression enhanced efferocytic capacity and promoted a shift toward M2/M1 balance. Conversely, PKM2 overexpression in macrophages impaired efferocytosis and exacerbated chronic airway inflammation. Our study reveals a novel role for myeloid cell-specific PKM2 and SLC13A3 in asthma, linking efferocytosis to immune metabolism during allergic inflammation.\n\nID: 42449369\nTitle: Shared and niche-specific transcriptional signatures of macrophage aging revealed by a cross-tissue meta-analysis.\nAbstract: Aging is accompanied by widespread transcriptional remodeling across tissues, yet how aging impacts different categories of tissue-resident macrophages is not well understood. Macrophages are highly specialized innate immune cells shaped by their local microenvironments, suggesting that aging may elicit both shared and niche-specific transcriptional responses. Here, we performed a meta-analysis of publicly available bulk and single-cell RNA-seq datasets to characterize age-associated transcriptional changes in murine macrophages across tissues and sexes. We curated and uniformly processed 33 macrophage transcriptomic datasets, derived from 10 distinct tissue niches, in male and female C57BL/6 mice, examining transcriptional changes as a function of age. The similarity of differentially expressed aging genes was compared across niches and pathway-level analysis uncovered conserved age-associated signatures, including upregulation of gene sets related to antigen presentation, antioxidant responses, and negative regulation of ferroptosis, alongside downregulation of gene sets related to Wnt, GTPase, and extracellular matrix organization signaling. Transcription factor activity inference identified consistent age-associated activation of AP-1 (Fos, Jun), C/EBP\u03b2, PU.1, and Egr1 across niches. Meta-analysis defined 593 consistently age-altered genes in\u2009>\u20093/4 of analyzed datasets, converging on dysregulation of small GTPase signaling. Focused analysis of alveolar macrophages and microglia, made possible by the larger number of available datasets, revealed sex-specific transcriptional programs altered with age in these macrophage subtypes. These findings demonstrate that macrophage aging is shaped by both tissue niche and sex and provides a framework for understanding the transcriptomic signatures of macrophage aging across tissues.\n\nID: 42448431\nTitle: LysoPS-GPR34 axis enhances tumor-associated macrophages efferocytosis to promote immune escape in gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis.\nAbstract: Metabolites sculpt the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) that facilitates immune evasion. As a crucial signaling lysophospholipid, lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS) correlates with advanced disease stages in multiple tumor types. However, the mechanisms by which LysoPS drives gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis remain undefined. Single-cell transcriptomic profiling of primary tumors, normal peritoneum, and metastatic lesions delineated mechanisms underlying LysoPS-mediated tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) reprogramming. Immunohistochemistry and multiplex immunofluorescence validated GPR34-high TAMs infiltration in peritoneal metastases. Functional validation was performed using molecular assays and in vivo models. LysoPS accumulated in ascites from patients with gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis, establishing an immunosuppressive TME that drove malignant progression. Using single-cell transcriptome sequencing, we identified a distinct subset of TAMs highly expressing GPR34 enriched in gastric cancer peritoneal metastases, which correlates with tumor progression and immune evasion. Mechanistically, LysoPS engagement of GPR34 activated ERK/c-Jun signaling, transcriptionally upregulating AXL and CD36 to enhance efferocytosis. This effect drove TAMs toward an immunosuppressive phenotype, characterized by enhanced interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor-\u03b2 secretion. GPR34 inhibitor attenuated M2-like TAMs infiltration while bolstering cytotoxic T cells recruitment and curtailing programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)+T cells accumulation. Furthermore, combination with anti-PD-1 therapy synergistically suppressed tumor growth beyond monotherapy efficacy. LysoPS-GPR34 axis synergized with efferocytosis to amplify TAMs immunosuppressive properties, fostering an immune-evasive microenvironment; GPR34 inhibitor thus represents a promising strategy to potentiate PD-1 blockade efficacy in gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis.\n\nID: 42446910\nTitle: Macrophage Dicer1 deletion delays skin wound healing in mice by promoting pentose phosphate pathway activity.\nAbstract: Macrophages play a pivotal role in skin wound healing through efferocytosis, the clearance of apoptotic cells, which is essential for inflammation resolution and tissue repair. This study aims to investigate the role of macrophage Dicer1 in skin wound healing in mice and to explore the regulatory mechanism underlying efferocytosis. Dorsal skin wounds were created in Dicer1-deficient and wild type mice, and the wound areas were quantified daily. In the wounds, epithelialization, granulation tissue growth, collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and the mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines were measured and apoptotic cells were labelled. In vitro, macrophages were separated from the wounds, and the expressions of pentose phosphate pathway (PPP)-related molecules were measured; wound macrophages were cocultured with apoptotic Jurkat cells, then the phagocytosis was analyzed, and the mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines and PPP-related molecules were measured in the macrophages. Macrophage-specific deletion of Dicer1 impairs skin wound healing in mice, resulting in delayed wound closure, reduced re-epithelialization and granulation tissue formation, diminished collagen deposition, and attenuated angiogenesis. Dicer1-deficient wounds exhibited sustained inflammation, alongside increased apoptotic cell accumulation. Mechanistically, Dicer1 knockout in macrophages led to impaired efferocytosis and upregulated PPP activity. These findings identify the Dicer1-PPP-efferocytosis axis as a critical regulator of macrophage function during wound repair. Our study provides novel insights into the molecular basis of impaired wound healing and suggests that targeting the macrophage Dicer1-PPP-efferocytosis axis may offer therapeutic potential for skin wounds.\n\nID: 42444366\nTitle: 4-Octyl Itaconate Promotes Diabetic Wound Healing by Enhancing Pro-Resolving Macrophages via the Efferocytosis-MCT1-Lactate-GPR132 Pathway and Macrophage-Independent Synergistic Effects (Diabetes Metab J 2026;50:707-23).\nAbstract: \n\nID: 42439678\nTitle: Follistatin Mitigates Atherosclerosis Through Activation of Arginine Metabolism and Adipose Browning.\nAbstract: Follistatin (FST) binds to and neutralizes members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-\u03b2) superfamily, thereby regulating diverse physiological processes, including regulation of skeletal muscle, adipose, and bone homeostasis. FST also promotes adipose browning and enhances energy metabolism, leading to improved plasma lipid profiles and metabolic health in mice. Given the emerging association between brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation and reduced atherosclerosis, we investigated the anti-atherogenic potential of FST. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel (HMDP) revealed that Fst expression was negatively correlated with aortic lesion area and positively correlated with the expression of multiple adipose browning-associated genes. Adeno-associated viral delivery of Fst (AAV1-FST344) in Ldlr-/- mice significantly reduced aortic lesion area, improved plasma lipid profiles, and decreased expression of adhesion (VCAM1) and inflammatory (iNOS, TNF-\u03b1) markers in white adipose tissue (WAT), liver, and heart. Fst gene delivery also markedly increased uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) expression in WAT, consistent with WAT browning. Integrated correlation analyses of Fst expression with tissue metabolites, together with plasma metabolite-lesion associations identified in the HMDP, implicated the arginase 1 (Arg1)-mediated metabolic pathway as a key regulator of atherogenesis. Consistent with these findings, Arg1 expression was significantly elevated in WAT, liver, and heart of AAV1-FST344-treated mice and in wild-type versus Fst-knockout mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Immunostaining localized Arg1 predominantly to CD68+ macrophages in heart and liver. Given recent evidence identifying Arg1 as a novel mediator of efferocytosis, these findings suggest that Arg1 may promote macrophage metabolic reprogramming and resolution of inflammation by enhancing the clearance of apoptotic cells. Furthermore, Fst gene delivery increased the expression of fibroblast growth factor 21 (Fgf21) and adiponectin (AdipoQ) in WAT. Collectively, these findings identify Fst as a novel anti-atherogenic regulator that protects against vascular disease by promoting adipose browning, improving lipid metabolism, and activating Arg1-mediated metabolic pathways.\n\nID: 42430473\nTitle: Low-intensity stimulation drives macrophage efferocytosis via ACSL4 lipid remodeling and CCL9-CCR1 signaling for tendon-bone healing.\nAbstract: The mechanisms underlying exercise rehabilitation-induced tendon-bone healing remain unclear. Using a mouse model of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, we found that low-intensity mechanical stimulation promoted macrophage M2 polarization, phagocytosis, and efferocytosis at the tendon-bone interface via acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4)-mediated lipid metabolism reprogramming. Acsl4 silencing reduced fatty acid oxidation and efferocytosis, impairing exercise rehabilitation-induced tendon-bone healing. Notably, the CCL9-CCR1 axis contributed to bone marrow stromal cell homing following macrophage efferocytosis. In addition, engineered CCL9-expressing exosomes accelerated tendon-bone repair.\n\nID: 42429844\nTitle: Redefining Neutrophil Function in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: From Tissue Injury to Immune Resolution.\nAbstract: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation driven by dysregulated immune responses and impaired mucosal homeostasis. Although neutrophils have traditionally been viewed as short-lived pro-inflammatory effector cells that contribute to epithelial injury, emerging evidence indicates that they also possess important pro-resolving and tissue-repairing functions. This narrative mini-review critically evaluates recent advances in understanding neutrophil functional heterogeneity in IBD, with particular emphasis on CD177\u207a neutrophils, neutrophil extracellular trap formation, efferocytosis, and mechanisms involved in immune resolution and mucosal healing. Accumulating data suggest that specialized neutrophil subsets can balance antimicrobial defense with controlled inflammatory signaling, thereby contributing to epithelial protection and restoration of intestinal homeostasis. In parallel, efficient efferocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils by macrophages emerges as a central mechanism promoting resolution of inflammation, whereas impaired clearance sustains chronic inflammatory responses. Recent studies further highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting pro-resolving neutrophil pathways and enhancing efferocytosis; however, most current evidence remains preclinical, and significant challenges persist in translating these findings into human therapies. Collectively, these insights redefine neutrophils as dynamic regulators of both tissue injury and immune resolution in IBD and support the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring immune balance and durable mucosal healing.\n\nID: 42429815\nTitle: Neuronal Guidance Proteins in the Fundamental Biology of Inflammation Resolution.\nAbstract: The initiation and resolution of acute inflammatory responses rely on highly orchestrated biochemical and cellular programs, in which a finely tuned repertoire of mediators regulates the dynamics, migration, and effector functions of immune cells in space and time. Persistent, incompletely resolved inflammatory reactions disrupt this delicate homeostatic equilibrium and foster the development of severe acute and chronic diseases. Central mediators that terminate inflammatory responses and actively transition them into resolution are therefore of paramount importance. These include not only specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators but also peptide and protein mediators, cytokines with context-dependent pro-resolving function, stromal and neuronal signals, as well as cell-intrinsic resolution mechanisms such as efferocytosis, metabolic reprogramming, and tissue-repair programs. Innate and adaptive immune cells integrate these signals and, as major sources and effectors of pro-resolving mediators, drive clearance of harmful stimuli and dying cells and foster tissue repair. Within this broader network of pro-resolving pathways, neuronal guidance proteins (NGPs) are increasingly recognized as critical regulators of immune cell positioning and function that act far beyond their classical roles in axon guidance and are now regarded as integral components of the active inflammation-resolution program. This chapter interrogates the fundamental biology of selected NGPs-including Netrin-1, repulsive guidance molecule A (RGM-A), Semaphorin 7A (Sema7A), Neogenin (Neo1), and Plexin C1 (PLXC1)-and delineates their dual roles within inflammatory and resolution programs, with particular emphasis on how these cues sculpt leukocyte trafficking, promote cellular clearance, and drive immune cell reprogramming along the temporal axis from the early phase of acute inflammation to the restoration of tissue homeostasis.\n\nID: 42421941\nTitle: Macrophage-mediated nutrient recycling: evolutionary insights into the metabolic role of professional phagocytes.\nAbstract: Removal of senescent and damaged cells is fundamental for tissue homeostasis. While macrophage recognition and clearance of apoptotic cells are well characterized, the ultimate fate of the digested material remains poorly understood. Here, we explore current knowledge on the fate of engulfed material and examine how the metabolic nature of engulfed cargo shapes downstream signaling and phagocyte polarization. We also discuss emerging evidence that macrophages act as metabolic hubs, recycling and supplying nutrients to surrounding tissues. Drawing on studies in invertebrate phagocytes, we explore the evolutionary origins of this \"nurturing\" function and highlight its conservation in mammals, emphasizing its physiological relevance and potential contributions to metabolic disease.\n\nID: 42391320\nTitle: Myeloid Piezo1 as a Brake on Efferocytosis and Cardiac Repair in the Infarcted Heart.\nAbstract: \n\nID: 42389788\nTitle: Myeloid Cell-Specific Deletion of LGR4 Suppresses Atherosclerotic Lesion Formation.\nAbstract: Monocyte-derived macrophages play a significant role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis by transforming into lipid-laden foam cells and regulating vascular inflammation. However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate macrophage lipid accumulation, phenotype, efferocytic capacity, and atherosclerosis are incompletely understood. Our preliminary studies revealed increased expression of LGR4 (leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 4) in human atherosclerotic arteries. Additional experiments demonstrated increased LGR4 levels in atherogenic oxidized low-density lipoprotein-treated macrophages. However, the macrophage-specific role of LGR4 in atherogenesis has never been investigated. To investigate the role of myeloid cell Lgr4 in atherosclerosis development, myeloid cell-specific Lgr4 knockout (Lgr4f/f LysM Cre+/-, Lgr4\u0394M) and littermate control Lgr4f/f (Lgr4WT) mice were injected intraperitoneally with adeno-associated viral vector (serotype 8) for hPCSK9 and fed a Western diet for 16 weeks. Various in vitro cell-based assays, molecular biology techniques, and immunohistological approaches were used to evaluate the functional roles of macrophage Lgr4 and underlying signaling mechanisms. Oil red O staining of whole aortas and aortic root sections demonstrated reduced atherosclerosis in Lgr4\u0394M mice compared with sex-matched Lgr4WT mice. However, no changes in circulating monocyte frequencies were detected. Histochemical staining performed on aortic root sections revealed smaller necrotic cores and higher collagen content in Lgr4\u0394M mice. Additionally, Lgr4\u0394M mice exhibited lower fat mass and blood glucose levels, while plasma total cholesterol was comparable to that of control mice. Further in vitro and ex vivo studies demonstrated reduced lipid accumulation, enhanced efferocytic capacity, a suppressed proinflammatory phenotype, and attenuated expression of different low-density lipoprotein uptake genes in Lgr4-deficient macrophages. Moreover, Lgr4 knockout macrophages displayed increased cholesterol efflux capacity and reduced activation of oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced Wnt (Wingless-related integration site)/\u03b2-catenin signaling. These findings suggest that myeloid cell Lgr4 contributes to atherosclerotic lesion formation via stimulating macrophage lipid accumulation, impairing efferocytic capacity, and promoting a proinflammatory phenotype. Collectively, these results identify macrophage LGR4 as a novel therapeutic target for atherosclerosis.\n\nID: 42382752\nTitle: Phagocytic aberrations in macrophages in asthma: a mechanistic systematic review integrating in vitro, animal, and human evidence.\nAbstract: To integrate evidence from human, animal, and in vitro studies to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying phagocytic aberrations in asthmatic macrophages and to construct a cross-hierarchical mechanistic framework. This systematic review followed the PRISMA 2020 statement. PubMed and Web of Science Core Collection were searched from inception to March 6, 2026. We included original human, animal, and cellular studies on asthma that investigated macrophage phagocytic function and reported related molecular mechanisms. Two independent reviewers performed screening, data extraction, and quality assessment. Due to substantial heterogeneity across studies, a narrative synthesis approach was used to integrate the evidence. A total of 37 studies, published between 1982 and 2025, were ultimately included. Overall, macrophage phagocytic function in asthma is characterized by aberrations dependent on clinical phenotype, phagocytic substrate, and the microenvironment. Based on the included studies, the relevant mechanisms were categorized into eight categories: dysregulation of phagocytic receptor signaling; defects at various stages of efferocytosis; immunometabolic reprogramming; aberrant signal transduction; regulation by immunomodulatory factors; acquired alterations in cellular function; circadian clock regulation; and other unclassified mechanisms. Phagocytic aberrations in macrophages in asthma represent a complex process driven by a multi-layered, interconnected molecular network. These aberrations contribute to the persistence of chronic airway inflammation, increased susceptibility to infection, elevated risk of acute exacerbations, and the development of severe or refractory asthma. Systematic integration of these mechanisms enhances the understanding of innate immune dysfunction in asthma and provides a theoretical basis for developing therapeutic strategies targeting macrophage phagocytic function. https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD420261332569.\n\nID: 42380346\nTitle: Beyond polarization: a receptor-centered framework for macrophage function and therapy in skin diseases.\nAbstract: Macrophages are key regulators of cutaneous immunity, but the traditional M1/M2 polarization model cannot fully explain their functional diversity across skin diseases. In this narrative review, we use selected skin diseases to discuss a receptor-centered view of macrophage function and to illustrate a modular \"receptor-pathway-effector\" framework. This perspective places macrophage receptors at the upstream sensing level, where microbial products, tissue damage signals, cytokines, immune complexes, stromal cues, and tumor-derived signals are translated into inflammatory, reparative, fibrotic, or immunosuppressive programs. We summarize representative receptor modules, including pattern-recognition receptors, cytokine and chemokine receptors, Fc and complement receptors, scavenger and efferocytosis receptors, and inhibitory checkpoint receptors. Across psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, autoimmune blistering diseases, lupus, systemic sclerosis, sarcoidosis, leprosy, melanoma, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, diabetic wounds, and radiation-induced skin injury, these modules help explain macrophage involvement in inflammation, remodeling, host defense, impaired repair, and tumor immune escape. We also discuss selected biomarker and therapeutic examples, while distinguishing clinically explored approaches from preclinical or emerging concepts. This receptor-centered perspective may complement existing views of macrophage heterogeneity and provide a clearer way to link receptor signals with disease-related macrophage functions.\n\nID: 42367816\nTitle: Fatty acid metabolism and lipid channeling in macrophages: mechanisms of inflammation, resolution, and lipotoxicity.\nAbstract: Macrophages integrate metabolic signals with immune activation, and their ability to handle fatty acids is central to preventing lipotoxicity and to sustaining effector functions. In cardiometabolic settings such as obesity, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, and atherosclerosis, chronic exposure to excess free fatty acids and toxic lipid species, such as ceramides, disrupts organelle integrity, impairs efferocytosis, and skews macrophages toward pro-inflammatory phenotypes. This review examines how macrophages channel fatty acids into \u03b2-oxidation, glycerolipid synthesis and storage, sphingolipid production, and polyunsaturated fatty acid-derived lipid mediator biosynthesis to shape the balance among metabolic adaptation, inflammatory activation, resolution, and lipid-induced dysfunction. We also highlight lipin-1 as a regulatory node at a key branchpoint in macrophage lipid metabolism. By linking glycerolipid synthesis, lipid storage, mitochondrial metabolism, and inflammatory signaling, lipin-1 illustrates how lipid routing can influence macrophage function in cardiometabolic disease.\n\nID: 42347208\nTitle: Incorporating WGCNA and Machine Learning to Identify ADAP2 as a Critical Efferocytosis-Related Gene in Sepsis.\nAbstract: Sepsis, a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulated host responses to infection, frequently involves impaired macrophage efferocytosis that leads to apoptotic cell accumulation, secondary necrosis, and persistent inflammation. Early prognostic stratification remains challenging, as current biomarkers lack sufficient specificity and sensitivity, underscoring the urgent need for novel prognosis-related indicators. We integrated bulk transcriptomic data from a discovery cohort (GSE205672) and an independent validation cohort (GSE133822) with single-cell RNA-seq profiles of early- and late-stage sepsis (GSE167363, GSE175453). WGCNA and five consensus machine-learning algorithms were combined to screen core efferocytosis-associated genes, and expression was validated via qPCR in PBMCs from sepsis patients and CLP-induced septic mice. ADAP2 was identified as the core gene achieving strict consensus across all five algorithms, with early upregulation and late depletion in sepsis, predominant expression in monocytes/macrophages-particularly M1-like and IFN-responsive subsets-and a significant correlation with efferocytosis scores and immune cell infiltration. Its expression was negatively correlated with sepsis severity (SOFA score) and showed a trend toward worse survival in patients with low ADAP2 levels. This multi-dimensional transcriptomic study establishes ADAP2 as a candidate biomarker with potential prognostic value in sepsis, closely linked to macrophage efferocytosis. These findings may aid early risk stratification and inform macrophage-directed immunotherapies, although prospective validation and functional studies are required.\n\nID: 42346138\nTitle: Cardiac Macrophages Exhibit Dynamic Heterogeneity and Functional Specialization During Experimental Autoimmune Myocarditis.\nAbstract: Autoimmune myocarditis frequently progresses to inflammatory cardiomyopathy through dysregulated immune-stromal interactions. This study employs single-nuclei RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) to profile 46,233 cardiac nuclei from the experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) mouse model at four timepoints: day 0 (healthy), day 14 (inflammation), day 21 (acute inflammation), and day 40 (late cardiac remodelling). Single-nuclei RNA profiling identified 18 transcriptionally distinct cell populations. Global cell-cell communication analysis revealed a dramatic peak of intercellular signalling at day 14 (5907 interactions), with fibroblast subpopulations and macrophages as dominant hubs, followed by partial resolution at day 21 (2264 interactions) and renewed remodelling at day 40 (4862 interactions). Subclustering of the macrophage compartment identified five subpopulations: Mac-TLF, Mac-MHCII, Mac-rMHCII, Mac-ResL, and Classical Monocytes. Tissue-resident macrophages (Mac-TLF, CCR2-) dominated at healthy state (~55%) but were rapidly depleted at day 14, coinciding with a dramatic influx of recruited CCR2+ macrophages (Mac-rMHCII), which expanded to over 70% of the compartment and maintained dominance through day 40. At inflammation (day 14), the expanded Mac-rMHCII subpopulation displayed a strongly pro-inflammatory signature (Il1b, Stat2, Parp14, Apoe), and the overall macrophage compartment was enriched for cytokine response, Fc-gamma receptor, and Notch signalling pathways, while downregulating homeostatic and mitochondrial metabolic programmes, potentially contributing to impaired efferocytosis and cardiomyocyte dysfunction. Macrophage-centred communication networks expanded markedly at day 14 (1047 interactions), with resting fibroblasts (FB-R) as the primary signalling partner, driving pro-inflammatory stromal activation marked by upregulation of Ccl2, Ccl7, and Csf2. Intra-macrophage subcluster communication also intensified at this timepoint (447 interactions). These findings delineate the temporal and functional heterogeneity of cardiac macrophages during EAM progression and identify key immune-stromal interactions driving pathological cardiac remodelling. The coexistence of pro-inflammatory and transitional reparative macrophage subsets highlights the limitations of broad immunosuppression and supports precision strategies targeting CCR2-mediated recruitment, the SPP1 signalling axis, and macrophage-fibroblast crosstalk as therapeutic avenues in myocarditis and its progression.\n\nID: 42336269\nTitle: Macrophage-enriched GPR91 aggravates acute liver injury by inhibiting efferocytosis via the AC/cAMP/PPAR\u03b3 pathway.\nAbstract: Acute liver injury is a common precipitating factor in the progression of various liver diseases including liver failure, underscoring the urgent need to identify novel therapeutic targets. G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are widely regarded as promising drug targets, however, the roles of non-chemokine GPCRs in acute liver injury remain poorly defined. In this study, we analyzed three GEO datasets related to acute liver injury and identified Sucnr1, encoding GPR91, as a key regulator. We aimed to reveal the role of GPR91 in acute liver injury and to elucidate the underlying mechanism. Sucnr1-knockout (Sucnr1-KO) mice were generated and treated by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) with or without succinate co-administration. The role of GPR91 was investigated in the acute and resolution stages of liver injury at 24\u00a0h and 72\u00a0h after CCl4 injection, respectively. Confocal microscopy and flow cytometry were conducted to examine the involvement of GPR91 in regulating macrophage efferocytosis, in vitro. Macrophage-enriched Sucnr1 decreased sharply in the acute phase but recovered gradually in the resolution phase. In contrast, succinate, the endogenous GPR91 ligand, surged acutely and, subsequently, exhibited a gradual decline. In vivo data from multiple models demonstrated that Sucnr1 deficiency significantly alleviated CCl4-induced inflammation and injury in the acute stage and promoted injury resolution in the resolution stage, while succinate administration itself had no significant effect. Moreover, in vitro data revealed that Sucnr1-knockout (Sucnr1-KO) macrophages manifested lower expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and higher ability of efferocytosis, accompanied by higher expression of PPAR\u03b3. However, the enhanced efferocytosis in macrophages of Sucnr1-KO mice was decreased by in vitro treatment of GW9662, a specific inhibitor of PPAR\u03b3. In addition, adenylate cyclase inhibitor SQ22536 could decrease the over-expression of PPAR\u03b3, and the enhanced efferocytosis in Sucnr1-KO macrophages. Our work has revealed that macrophage-enriched GPR91 plays a vital role in controlling the inflammation and efferocytosis of macrophage, providing a potential therapeutic target for acute liver injury and liver failure.\n\nID: 42335653\nTitle: Fatty acid-binding protein 5 deficiency impairs alveolar macrophage function and metabolism.\nAbstract: Macrophages are large mononuclear immune cells that participate in host protection, not only by phagocytosing foreign or infected cells and initiating inflammatory responses, but also by contributing to the resolution of inflammation. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is characterized by increased numbers of macrophages in lung tissue, with altered engulfment capabilities. However, the molecular pathways leading to macrophage dysfunction in COPD remain unclear. Using integrated genetics and genomics approaches, we previously identified Fatty Acid Binding Protein 5 (FABP5) as a key target in the resolution of airway inflammation that exhibits decreased expression in COPD patients. The objective is to define the significance of alveolar macrophage FABP5 by comparing the resolution of inflammation in WT and Fabp5-/- mice following nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) infection or LPS sterile inflammation. Immune and metabolic responses were analyzed using functional assays, flow cytometry, ELISA, cell metabolic profiling and tracing, as well as ATAC-seq. Fabp5-/- mice exhibited impaired efferocytosis, reflected by a reduction of apoptotic cell engulfment by alveolar macrophages. This was accompanied by a reduction in fatty acid uptake and fatty acid \u03b2-oxidation, a reduction in mitochondrial respiration, an accumulation of TCA cycle and glycolysis metabolites, and an increased chromatin accessibility for AP-1 family members. Fabp5-deficient alveolar macrophages failed to initiate reparative metabolic programming, which is critical for the resolution of inflammation. Our data suggest that increasing FABP5 expression could provide a metabolic switch that facilitates macrophage conversion to a pro-resolving phenotype and restores alveolar macrophage efferocytic functions in the lungs of COPD patients.\n\nID: 42334420\nTitle: Bile acid retention in efferocytic macrophages shapes their inflammatory status during cholangitis.\nAbstract: The clearance of apoptotic cells by phagocytes is crucial for restoring tissue balance after injury. In autoimmune liver diseases like primary sclerosing cholangitis, cell death is thought to result from accumulation of toxic bile acids within parenchymal cells. Whether, in this context, bile acid-loaded dying cells impact the efficiency of phagocytic macrophages in restoring tissue balance remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that in a murine model of cholangitis, bile acids accumulate in a subpopulation of efferocytic macrophages with pro-inflammatory features. Our in vitro results indicate that, upon their engulfment, apoptotic hepatocytes laden with bile acids can serve as Trojan horses, delivering bile acids into efferocytic macrophages and thereby shaping macrophage function. This contrasts with the characteristics of macrophages that engulf apoptotic parenchymal cells lacking bile acids. Together, our findings delineate a system in which the content of the phagocytosed dying cells, specifically bile acid-laden hepatocytes, drives a pro-inflammatory program in the corresponding efferocytic macrophages, potentially contributing to chronic hepatic inflammation.\n\nID: 42329402\nTitle: Defective efferocytosis in diabetes: molecular mechanisms and emerging therapeutic strategies.\nAbstract: Diabetes is associated with oxidative stress, systemic immune dysregulation and chronic low-grade inflammation, which contributes to a wide spectrum of microvascular and macrovascular complications. Efferocytosis, the phagocytic clearance of apoptotic cells by macrophages and dendritic cells, is essential for inflammation resolution and tissue repair. Defective efferocytosis has been increasingly implicated in the progression of diabetes and several of its major complications, including atherosclerosis, nephropathy, retinopathy, impaired wound healing, and osteoporosis. This narrative review is prepared through a focused literature search of studies investigating efferocytosis in diabetes, elucidates how its disruption contributes to the progression of diabetic complications, and further highlight emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at regulating efferocytosis. This paper is expected to provide direction and outlook for the research on efferocytosis and diabetes. Efferocytosis regulation involves a coordinated cascade of find-me signals, engulfment receptors, intracellular cytoskeletal remodeling, and metabolic reprogramming. This review summarizes the key molecular changes of defective efferocytosis and pathological changes in diabetic complications. Importantly, emerging preclinical studies have demonstrated that restoring efferocytosis ameliorate inflammation, promote tissue regeneration, and interrupt the progression of diabetic complications. Efferocytosis not only illuminates fundamental aspects of immune regulation but also opens up new therapeutic possibilities. As the field continues to evolve, integrating efferocytosis-based interventions into the broader therapeutic landscape of diabetes may represent a paradigm shift in the management of its chronic complications.\n\nID: 42323492\nTitle: ERK1/2 activation in anti-inflammatory effects and underlying signaling mechanisms.\nAbstract: ERK1/2 are core components of the MAPK signaling pathway and play a central role in the regulation of inflammation. Although ERK1/2 activation is well established for driving pro-inflammatory responses, accumulating evidence systematically summarized in this review demonstrates that ERK1/2 activation can also exert potent anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving effects. At the cellular level, ERK1/2 activation mediates anti-inflammatory regulation through multiple coordinated mechanisms: It promotes activation-induced cell death in T cells, drives macrophages and microglia toward anti-inflammatory phenotypes while fine-tuning their phagocytic activity, enhances efferocytosis of apoptotic cells by myeloid cells to drive inflammation resolution, inhibits dendritic cell maturation, and induces production of the key anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. At the molecular signaling pathway level, ERK1/2 suppresses pro-inflammatory NF-\u03baB activity by stabilizing I\u03baB\u03b1, directly interacting with NF-\u03baB p65 subunit, or activating PPAR\u03b3 in both immune cells and tissue-resident cells. In addition, ERK1/2 exerts anti-inflammatory effects through the Nrf2/HO-1 axis, which negatively regulates NF-\u03baB. Further anti-inflammatory axes include the ERK1/2/CREB pathway and the FPR2/ERK1/2 pro-resolving signaling cascade. Other anti-inflammatory mechanisms include the ERK1/2/sCD14 axis that neutralizes LPS, ERK1/2-induced autophagy, and anti-inflammatory signaling triggered by diverse upstream regulators of ERK1/2. This review systematically consolidates the anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving effects of ERK1/2 activation and the underlying molecular mechanisms involved. These findings provide robust evidence that ERK1/2 activation can promote anti-inflammatory and inflammation-resolving responses and refine our understanding of the dual role of ERK1/2 as a \"double-edged sword\" in the regulation of inflammation.\n\nID: 42321445\nTitle: Apoptotic bodies in bone homeostasis and skeletal disease: biology and therapeutic implications.\nAbstract: Bone is among the most apoptotically active tissues in the body. During remodeling, repair, and disease, dying osteoclasts, osteoblast-lineage cells, osteocytes, mesenchymal stem/stromal cells, and injury-associated cells release apoptotic bodies (ABs) that retain parent-cell-derived cargo and surface ligands. These vesicles are increasingly viewed not only as debris for efferocytic clearance but also as source-specific signalling units that shape skeletal cell fate, immune activity, mineralization, and repair. This review integrates current evidence for ABs across skeletal homeostasis and disease. We first define ABs within the broader extracellular vesicle landscape, emphasizing vesicle heterogeneity, isolation and characterization challenges, and terminology boundaries. We then examine AB sources and recipient interfaces, including osteoclasts, osteoblast-lineage cells, osteocytes, mesenchymal stem/stromal cells, platelet-derived ABs in injury repair, macrophages, osteoclast phagocytes, chondrocytes, and bone lining cells. We further discuss how dysregulated AB signalling contributes to osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and bone metastasis, as well as alveolar bone destruction, aging-related bone loss, osteochondral mineralization, and bone injury repair. We highlight therapeutic implications, including AB-based or AB-inspired strategies, the cathepsin K (CTSK)-responsive self-assembling peptide nanoparticle OsteoSAVE for in vivo generation of osteoclast-derived ABs, and the hypothesis that antiresorptive therapies may reshape osteoclast-derived AB (OC-AB) production. We also identify unresolved translational questions, including AB lifespan, circulation, source attribution, and direct human validation.\n\nID: 42297820\nTitle: Efferocytosis of apoptotic bodies drives SARS-CoV-2 infection and macrophage inflammation.\nAbstract: SARS-CoV-2 typically utilises host receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) for viral entry. Despite low ACE2 expression, monocyte-derived macrophages, the predominant lung macrophage during severe COVID-19, are often found with SARS-CoV-2 in infected lungs. As macrophage inflammation and cytokine storm are key immunopathological events that drive severe COVID-19, insights into mechanisms underlying viral entry into macrophages are critical to devise novel COVID-19 therapies. Mounting evidence supports that COVID-19 pathogenesis is associated with apoptosis, a type of programmed cell death which releases large extracellular vesicles called apoptotic bodies (ApoBDs). Here, we show that ApoBDs from SARS-CoV-2-infected cells carried infectious virions. Macrophages efferocytose these ApoBDs, enabling SARS-CoV-2 entry and pro-inflammatory responses including inflammasome and NF-\u03baB signalling. To demonstrate targetability of this ApoBD efferocytosis-mediated viral entry, we screen for inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2-induced ApoBD formation and identified T-type voltage-gated calcium channel (T-channel) blockers. Mechanistically, T-channel blockers impair the extracellular calcium influxes required for ApoBD biogenesis. Importantly, blockade of ApoBD formation by T-channel blockers is able to limit cell-to-cell viral transmission, macrophage inflammation and lung immunopathology. Our discovery reveals a novel route for SARS-CoV-2 infection and cytokine storm induction, expanding our understanding of COVID-19 pathogenesis and demonstrating a therapeutic target for infectious diseases.\n\nID: 42290052\nTitle: [Mechanisms of Macrophage Efferocytosis-driven Remodeling of Lung Cancer \u2029Microenvironment Structure and Angiogenesis and Prospects for Clinical Intervention].\nAbstract: Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent and lethal malignant tumors worldwide. In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors have significantly improved the survival outcomes of some patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer; however, primary and acquired resistance remain important barriers limiting their clinical efficacy. Research has revealed that structural remodeling of the tumor microenvironment (TME) is one of the key factors involved in immunotherapy resistance. Efferocytosis is an important process by which tumor-associated macrophages clear apoptotic cells. In the lung cancer TME, the high apoptotic cell burden can lead to persistent activation of efferocytosis. Studies have shown that sustained efferocytosis is not merely a process of cellular debris clearance, but can also induce metabolic reprogramming in macrophages, including dysregulated lipid metabolism and enhanced glycolysis, and promote the secretion of immunosuppressive and tissue-repair-related factors. These changes further promote pathological angiogenesis, activation of cancer-associated fibroblasts, and excessive extracellular matrix deposition, thereby driving structural remodeling of the TME and forming an immune-excluded microenvironment characterized by vascular abnormalities and stromal fibrosis. This process restricts effector T-cell infiltration and impairs the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors. This review describes the molecular mechanisms of macrophage efferocytosis in the lung cancer TME, focusing on its regulatory roles in metabolic reprogramming, pathological angiogenesis, and stromal fibrosis, and discusses potential therapeutic strategies targeting efferocytosis-related signaling pathways and TME structural remodeling, aiming to provide new insights into overcoming immunotherapy resistance in lung cancer.\u2029. \u3010\u4e2d\u6587\u9898\u76ee\uff1a\u5de8\u566c\u7ec6\u80de\u80de\u846c\u9a71\u52a8\u80ba\u764c\u5fae\u73af\u5883\u7ed3\u6784\u91cd\u5851\u2029\u4e0e\u8840\u7ba1\u751f\u6210\u7684\u673a\u5236\u53ca\u4e34\u5e8a\u5e72\u9884\u524d\u666f\u3011 \u3010\u4e2d\u6587\u6458\u8981\uff1a\u80ba\u764c\u662f\u5168\u7403\u53d1\u75c5\u7387\u548c\u6b7b\u4ea1\u7387\u5747\u5c45\u9996\u4f4d\u7684\u6076\u6027\u80bf\u7624\u3002\u8fd1\u5e74\u6765\u514d\u75ab\u68c0\u67e5\u70b9\u6291\u5236\u5242\u663e\u8457\u6539\u5584\u4e86\u90e8\u5206\u665a\u671f\u975e\u5c0f\u7ec6\u80de\u80ba\u764c\u60a3\u8005\u7684\u751f\u5b58\u9884\u540e\uff0c\u4f46\u4ecd\u6709\u76f8\u5f53\u6bd4\u4f8b\u60a3\u8005\u5b58\u5728\u539f\u53d1\u6027\u6216\u7ee7\u53d1\u6027\u514d\u75ab\u8010\u836f\u3002\u80bf\u7624\u5fae\u73af\u5883\uff08tumor microenvironment, TME\uff09\u7ed3\u6784\u91cd\u5851\u88ab\u8ba4\u4e3a\u662f\u5f71\u54cd\u514d\u75ab\u6cbb\u7597\u7597\u6548\u7684\u91cd\u8981\u56e0\u7d20\u3002\u80de\u846c\u662f\u80bf\u7624\u76f8\u5173\u5de8\u566c\u7ec6\u80de\uff08tumor-associated macrophages, TAMs\uff09\u6e05\u9664\u51cb\u4ea1\u7ec6\u80de\u7684\u91cd\u8981\u8fc7\u7a0b\uff0c\u5728\u7ef4\u6301\u708e\u75c7\u6d88\u9000\u548c\u7ec4\u7ec7\u7a33\u6001\u7684\u540c\u65f6\uff0c\u53ef\u8bf1\u5bfc\u5de8\u566c\u7ec6\u80de\u53d1\u751f\u663e\u8457\u7684\u4ee3\u8c22\u91cd\u7f16\u7a0b\u53ca\u5206\u6ccc\u8c31\u6539\u53d8\u3002\u6301\u7eed\u6d3b\u5316\u7684\u80de\u846c\u4f5c\u7528\u901a\u8fc7\u8c03\u63a7\u8102\u8d28\u4ee3\u8c22\u548c\u7cd6\u9175\u89e3\u7b49\u4ee3\u8c22\u9014\u5f84\uff0c\u4fc3\u8fdb\u591a\u79cd\u514d\u75ab\u6291\u5236\u53ca\u7ec4\u7ec7\u4fee\u590d\u56e0\u5b50\u7684\u5206\u6ccc\uff0c\u4ece\u800c\u9a71\u52a8\u5f02\u5e38\u8840\u7ba1\u751f\u6210\u3001\u6fc0\u6d3b\u80bf\u7624\u76f8\u5173\u6210\u7ea4\u7ef4\u7ec6\u80de\u5e76\u4fc3\u8fdb\u7ec6\u80de\u5916\u57fa\u8d28\u6c89\u79ef\uff0c\u5bfc\u81f4\u80bf\u7624\u57fa\u8d28\u7ed3\u6784\u91cd\u5851\uff0c\u5f62\u6210\u514d\u75ab\u6392\u65a5\u578bTME\uff0c\u9650\u5236\u6548\u5e94T\u7ec6\u80de\u6d78\u6da6\u5e76\u964d\u4f4e\u514d\u75ab\u6cbb\u7597\u7597\u6548\u3002\u672c\u6587\u7efc\u8ff0\u80de\u846c\u4f5c\u7528\u5728TME\u4e2d\u7684\u5206\u5b50\u673a\u5236\uff0c\u91cd\u70b9\u9610\u8ff0\u5176\u5728\u4ee3\u8c22\u91cd\u7f16\u7a0b\u3001\u8840\u7ba1\u751f\u6210\u5f02\u5e38\u53ca\u57fa\u8d28\u7ea4\u7ef4\u5316\u4e2d\u7684\u4f5c\u7528\uff0c\u5e76\u63a2\u8ba8\u9776\u5411\u80de\u846c\u76f8\u5173\u4fe1\u53f7\u901a\u8def\u53caTME\u7ed3\u6784\u91cd\u5851\u7684\u6f5c\u5728\u6cbb\u7597\u7b56\u7565\uff0c\u5e76\u8fdb\u4e00\u6b65\u63a2\u8ba8\u80de\u846c\u76f8\u5173\u6307\u6807\u5728\u514d\u75ab\u68c0\u67e5\u70b9\u6291\u5236\u5242\u7597\u6548\u9884\u6d4b\u7684\u6f5c\u5728\u4ef7\u503c\uff0c\u4ee5\u671f\u4e3a\u80ba\u764c\u514d\u75ab\u6cbb\u7597\u8010\u836f\u7684\u7cbe\u51c6\u5e72\u9884\u63d0\u4f9b\u65b0\u7684\u7814\u7a76\u601d\u8def\u3002\u2029\u3011 \u3010\u4e2d\u6587\u5173\u952e\u8bcd\uff1a\u80ba\u80bf\u7624\uff1b\u5de8\u566c\u7ec6\u80de\uff1b\u80de\u846c\uff1b\u80bf\u7624\u5fae\u73af\u5883\uff1b\u4ee3\u8c22\u91cd\u7f16\u7a0b\uff1b\u8840\u7ba1\u751f\u6210\u3011.\n\nID: 42289901\nTitle: p120-catenin enhances macrophage efferocytosis and facilitates resolution of lung inflammatory injury.\nAbstract: Defective resolution of inflammation following sepsis contributes to persistent immune dysfunction and increased morbidity and mortality worldwide. Efficient clearance of apoptotic polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) by macrophages, a process known as efferocytosis, is essential for resolving inflammation, promoting tissue repair, and restoring immune homeostasis; however, the molecular mechanisms governing this process remain poorly understood. Here, we identify p120-catenin (p120) as a critical regulator of efferocytosis that promotes the resolution of inflammatory lung injury. In alveolar macrophage-depleted mice challenged with endotoxin, intratracheal instillation of p120-deficient macrophages delayed the resolution of PMN infiltration, protein exudation, and lung edema and injury compared with control macrophages. These changes were accompanied by increased levels of TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6, decreased levels of TGF-\u03b2 and IL-10, and a reduced number of macrophages containing apoptotic PMNs in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. p120 depletion also markedly reduced the phagocytosis of apoptotic PMNs by cultured macrophages. Mechanistically, p120 deficiency decreased the expression of the efferocytic receptors CD36 and Axl and shifted macrophage polarization toward a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype. Furthermore, apoptotic cells induced the association and co-localization of p120 with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-\u03b3 (PPAR\u03b3), whereas p120 deletion markedly reduced PPAR\u03b3 activity in response to apoptotic PMNs. Pharmacologic inhibition of PPAR\u03b3 abolished p120-mediated macrophage efferocytosis and the resolution of lung inflammation. Collectively, these findings establish a central role for p120 in macrophage efferocytosis and inflammatory resolution and suggest that targeting macrophage p120 may represent a novel therapeutic strategy to promote recovery from inflammatory lung injury.\n\nID: 42289211\nTitle: Sprayable macrophage-targeting apoptotic-body-inspired nanotherapeutics for the prevention of postoperative peritoneal adhesions.\nAbstract: Postoperative peritoneal adhesion is a common complication of abdominal and pelvic surgeries, often leading to chronic pain, bowel obstruction, and increased reoperation rates. Despite clinical efforts, effective preventive strategies remain limited. In this study, we develope a sprayable, biomimetic nanotherapeutic system - designated Apo-Q - composed of phosphatidylserine (PS)-exposing liposomes encapsulating quercetin (Que@PSLs), inspired by the biological features of apoptotic bodies and prepared by a thin-film hydration-extrusion method. The obtained Apo-Q with the particle size about 140 nm and PS-functionalized surface can be selectively recognized and internalized by macrophages, thereby promoting targeted modulation of the postoperative inflammatory microenvironment. In a mouse model of peritoneal adhesion, Apo-Q promotes macrophage polarization from the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to the reparative M2 phenotype, suppresses inflammatory response, and also prevents pathological accumulation of GATA6+ macrophages at injury sites, significantly reducing adhesion formation and severity. These findings demonstrate that Apo-Q exerts potent anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects probably via a similar mechanism to macrophage efferocytosis, offering a minimally invasive and translationally promising strategy for preventing postoperative peritoneal adhesions.\n\nID: 42537764\nTitle: Senescence of the immune system in SLE: Pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic implications.\nAbstract: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease characterized by loss of immune tolerance and multi-organ inflammation. Although its pathogenesis involves multiple factors, the peak incidence of SLE in individuals over 48 years of age points to immunosenescence as a key driver of the disease.Even in younger patients, SLE frequently often presents as premature aging of the immune system. This review synthesizes recent advances in understanding how immunosenescence drives pathogenesis through immune dysregulation across major lymphocyte and myeloid subsets. Within the chronic inflammatory microenvironment, replicative exhaustion of T cells leads to accelerated telomere attrition, persistent activation of the DNA damage response, and telomerase dysfunction. This cascade culminates in the accumulation of senescent T cells displaying a characteristic CD28-CD57+KLRG1+ phenotype, accompanied by a pro-inflammatory state defined by enhanced cytotoxicity and impaired regulatory function. These characteristics correlated directly with disease activity and cumulative organ damage. The process arises from the interplay of metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic remodeling. In parallel, age-associated B cells (ABCs) accumulate, producing high-affinity anti-dsDNA and other autoantibodies, and potentiating inflammation via enhanced antigen presentation. Meanwhile, an aged bone-marrow microenvironment together with clonal hematopoiesis skews monocyte and macrophage polarization toward a pro-inflammatory (M1) profile. These cells show reduced phagocytic capacity and heightened secretion of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP)-like mediators, further driving inflammaging. This review synthesizes current insights into the relationship between SLE risk and immunosenescence. We discuss the mechanisms through which immune aging instigates autoimmunity and explore emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at mitigating immunosenescence.\n\nID: 42520682\nTitle: Myeloid Piezo1 improves inflammation resolution and phagocytosis in acute liver injury.\nAbstract: Acetaminophen (APAP)-induced acute liver injury (AILI) is characterized by extensive cell death and sterile inflammation, with substantial accumulation of myeloid cells in necrotic areas. Macrophages are critical elements in acute hepatic inflammation and resolution. Piezo1 is a mechanically activated ion channel that modulates innate immune responses and senses microenvironmental cues. The functions of myeloid Piezo1 in AILI remain elusive. This study aimed to determine whether myeloid Piezo1 regulates inflammation resolution and macrophage-mediated clearance during AILI. To generate the AILI mouse model, APAP was administered intraperitoneally to Piezo1fl/fl and Piezo1\u0394LysM mice, and samples were collected at 6, 24, and 48\u00a0h after treatment. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were stimulated with APAP-treated normal mouse liver cell line (AML12) supernatant to mimic sterile inflammatory response. Liver histology, immunostaining, gene expression analysis, flow cytometry, intracellular Ca2+ measurements, and phagocytosis/efferocytosis assays were performed. Piezo1 exerted protective effects against hepatotoxin-induced liver necrosis and promoted liver recovery after APAP overdose. In vitro assays revealed that Piezo1 alleviated the inflammatory response in bone marrow-derived macrophages. Mechanistically, myeloid Piezo1 manifested a more reparative phenotype and enhanced phagocytic activity by upregulating MerTK expression. Specifically, Piezo1 acted through Ca2+ influx to regulate the expression of MerTK at the target binding stage. Inhibition of MerTK induced more pro-inflammatory mediators and reduced phagocytic ability, phenocopying the Piezo1 deficiency. Separately, Piezo1 modulated cytoskeletal rearrangement via the FAK/Rac1 axis during target internalization. Pharmacological activation of Piezo1 promoted pro-resolution marker expression and enhanced efferocytosis/phagocytic clearance in vitro. This study identified myeloid Piezo1 as an important regulator of macrophage-mediated inflammation resolution and dying-cell clearance during AILI, providing a basis for future exploration of Piezo1-related pathways in macrophage-mediated liver recovery.\n\nID: 42520678\nTitle: Dual role of macrophage heterogeneity in allergic inflammation: from mechanism to targeted therapy.\nAbstract: Allergic inflammation, such as allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis, shares many pathogenic hallmarks, including inappropriate activation of type 2 immune responses, tissue barrier dysfunction, and disruption of local homeostasis. Due to their remarkable plasticity and tissue adaptability, macrophages are crucial effector cells of the innate immune system that play complex, context-dependent dual roles in allergic inflammation. On the one hand, macrophages are implicated in the persistence of chronic inflammation, thereby boosting Th2 cell recruitment, eosinophil infiltration, antigen processing, chemokine secretion, inflammatory mediator release, and tissue remodeling. On the other hand, they promote the resolution of inflammation by triggering barrier repair, producing anti-inflammatory mediators including TGF-\u03b2 and IL-10, and phagocytosing apoptotic cells. Recent single-cell transcriptomic and functional studies have demonstrated that macrophages are dynamically distributed along an activation continuum rather than merely fitting into the traditional M1/M2 polarization. Functional states are determined by cellular origin, illness stage, tissue niche, and complex regulatory networks. For macrophages implicated in airway inflammation and remodeling, non-IgE-dependent nasal neurogenic reflexes, skin barrier disruption, itch neuroimmune circuits, and inflammation resolution, distinct barrier tissues-such as the lung, nasal mucosa, and skin-show notable tissue specificity. The pathogenic and preventive functions of macrophages in allergic inflammation are systematically summarized in this review, which also emphasizes a continuous spectrum of macrophage activation and incorporates interactions among metabolic reprogramming, pyroptosis, epigenetic control, and trained immunity. Given the dynamic and microenvironment-dependent nature of macrophage function, future treatment approaches need to shift from broad anti-inflammatory therapies to precision reprogramming that is stage-specific and tissue-tuned. During the start and amplification stages of inflammation, therapeutic strategies should target pathogenic M2a-like programs, chemokine networks, monocyte recruitment, and excessive pyroptotic responses. On the other hand, M2b/M2c and pro-resolving macrophage-mediated efferocytosis, immunological tolerance, and tissue healing should be the focus of tactics in the resolution and repair stages. Furthermore, the management of allergic diseases may shift from empirical anti-inflammatory therapy to mechanism-guided precision interventions through patient stratification based on single-cell omics, spatial omics, and macrophage-associated biomarkers.\n\nID: 42519323\nTitle: Aging-driven metabolic abnormalities remodel intercellular communication through the gut-liver-heart axis and may promote coronary artery disease: the key role of bile acid metabolism.\nAbstract: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of cardiovascular mortality worldwide and shows a strong age-dependence that classical risk-factor models do not fully explain. A growing body of work indicates that aging is closely associated with CAD and, in preclinical models, can promote it through immunometabolic remodeling of the gut-liver-heart axis, in which bile acid metabolism is proposed to act as a central molecular link. Here we integrate cellular, molecular, and clinical evidence to outline how aging perturbs this axis and sustains chronic vascular inflammation. At the cellular level, senescent cells in the intestinal, hepatic, and vascular compartments generate the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) - a process linked to cGAS-STING and NLRP3 inflammasome activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and decline of the NAD+-SIRT3 axis - and help establish the systemic state of inflammaging. In the gut, age-related dysbiosis lowers bile salt hydrolase and 7\u03b1-dehydroxylase activities, contracts the secondary bile acid pool, weakens epithelial barrier integrity, and triggers metabolic endotoxemia that maintains LPS-TLR4-NF-\u03baB signaling. In the liver, Kupffer cell M1 polarization, attenuated farnesoid X receptor (FXR) signaling, and altered exosomal cargo amplify systemic inflammatory output. Reduced FXR and Takeda G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) signaling weakens the endogenous restraint of macrophage activation, vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switching, and cardiomyocyte metabolic protection. The downstream result is endothelial dysfunction, foam cell formation, plaque instability, and adverse cardiac remodeling. We then appraise emerging immune-metabolic interventions - microbiota remodeling, FXR/TGR5 agonists, senolytic therapies, metformin, and integrated biomarker frameworks for early risk stratification - while noting that most are currently supported only by preclinical or early-phase human data. By placing bile acid signaling at the interface of innate immunity, microbial ecology, and metabolic homeostasis, this review offers an immunological framework for aging-associated CAD and identifies candidate immune-metabolic targets for prevention and therapy in older adults.\n\nID: 42511907\nTitle: Reprogramming Inflammatory Macrophages with Specialized Pro-Resolving Lipid Mediators: A Novel Immunotherapeutic Strategy for Asthma.\nAbstract: Asthma is defined as a chronic airway inflammatory disorder with over-activation of the immune system accompanied by the inability to resolve inflammation. SPMs are novel potent lipid mediators that play an important role in maintaining inflammation homeostasis and macrophages' functional plasticity. This review will look into the potential function of SPM-programmed macrophage reprogramming as a novel therapeutic strategy for asthma. Unlike current anti-inflammatory treatments, which only focus on suppressing inflammation, SPMs can actively drive the inflammation resolution phase by promoting efferocytosis and wound healing while maintaining the defense against infection. In experimental asthma animal models, lipoxins, resolvins, protectins, and maresins have been demonstrated to alleviate inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness, shift macrophages towards pro-resolving phenotypes and thus facilitate the resolution process. Levels of some SPM subclasses were found to be reduced in severe or uncontrolled asthmatics, indicating defective resolution pathways may contribute to asthma persistence. The mechanisms include down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, alteration of macrophage phenotype, improvement of immune homeostasis in the airway milieu, etc. These molecules have become highly promising therapeutic agents after the development of metabolically stable analogs, receptor-targeted agonists, and an improved delivery system. Multi-omics studies coupled with patient stratification based on biomarkers will potentially help in the future to develop personalized resolution-based therapy, in particular for those steroid-resistant and non-type 2 asthmatics. Nevertheless, the evidence provided so far is mainly preclinical; more challenges in terms of pharmacokinetics, formulation and formulation development, regulatory agency approval, and clinical validation remain and will be overcome through further studies, thus warranting investigation into SPM-mediated strategies for asthma and other chronic inflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 42509849\nTitle: DADA2 as a Model of Monogenic Immune Vasculopathy: From Immunopathogenesis to Precision Therapeutics.\nAbstract: Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (DADA2) is a monogenic autoinflammatory disorder caused by biallelic loss-of-function mutations in the ADA2 gene (formerly CECR1). First described in 2014, DADA2 has emerged as a paradigm for monogenic vasculitis, bridging the gap between primary immunodeficiencies and systemic vasculitides. The disease is characterized by a remarkably broad clinical spectrum encompassing early-onset lacunar stroke, systemic vasculitis resembling polyarteritis nodosa (PAN), hematologic abnormalities ranging from pure red cell aplasia to pancytopenia, humoral immunodeficiency, and variable lymphoproliferation. ADA2, predominantly secreted by myeloid cells, serves dual functions as a growth factor for endothelial cells and a modulator of extracellular adenosine metabolism. Its deficiency leads to a proinflammatory state driven by macrophage dysregulation, excessive tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production, neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, and endothelial dysfunction. The genotype-phenotype correlation is complex, with certain mutations predisposing to vasculitic versus hematologic-predominant phenotypes. Emerging evidence further links ADA2 deficiency to cellular senescence and inflammaging pathways, suggesting a connection between monogenic vasculitis and aging-related biological mechanisms. Anti-TNF therapy has revolutionized disease management, achieving sustained remission in the majority of vasculitic manifestations. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) offers a definitive cure for severe hematologic disease, while gene therapy approaches are under active investigation. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the immunopathogenesis, clinical heterogeneity, genotype-phenotype correlations, multi-omics insights, and evolving precision therapeutic strategies for DADA2, positioning it as an instructive model for understanding monogenic immune vasculopathy. Despite this progress, fundamental questions remain-including the relative contribution of ADA2 enzymatic versus growth factor functions to disease pathogenesis, the mechanisms underlying tissue-specific vulnerability, the basis of differential treatment responsiveness, and the identity of genetic and environmental modifiers that determine phenotypic heterogeneity-that define the frontier of current DADA2 research. This review critically evaluates both established knowledge and persistent uncertainties, positioning DADA2 as an instructive model for the study of monogenic immune vasculopathy.\n\nID: 42498074\nTitle: Defective m6A RNA Modification in Macrophages Exacerbates Inflammation and Promotes Colitis-Associated Carcinogenesis by Impairing Efferocytosis.\nAbstract: Chronic inflammation resulting from unresolved tissue injury is a potent driver of tumorigenesis. Macrophages are essential for efferocytosis, the clearance of apoptotic cells, which prevents secondary necrosis and promotes inflammation resolution. However, the epigenetic mechanisms regulating this process under inflammatory stress remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify the m6A methyltransferase METTL3 as a critical regulator of macrophage efferocytosis. Using various models of tissue injury, METTL3 expression was significantly downregulated in macrophages under inflammatory conditions and was associated with defective efferocytosis, the accumulation of apoptotic cells, and exacerbated chronic inflammation. Mechanistically, we reveal that METTL3-mediated m6A modification promotes IGF2BP2/3-dependent stabilization of MFGE8 mRNA, a process that is compromised upon METTL3 deficiency. In a colitis-associated cancer model, the efferocytosis defect associated with Mettl3 deficiency exacerbated chronic inflammatory tissue injury and increased susceptibility to colitis-associated cancer. Ultimately, external administration of recombinant MFGE8 protein effectively rescued the efferocytosis defect, mitigated inflammation, and reduced tumor burden in the AOM/DSS model. Collectively, our findings identify the METTL3-m6A-IGF2BP2/3-MFGE8 pathway as an important regulator of macrophage efferocytosis that may contribute to inflammation-associated carcinogenesis. These results suggest that targeting the METTL3-MFGE8 axis may represent a strategy for restoring efferocytosis and promoting inflammation resolution in chronic inflammatory diseases and inflammation-associated malignancies.\n\nID: 42493843\nTitle: A Unified Model of Cardiovascular Injury: How PANoptosis Connects Atherosclerotic Inflammation to Myocardial Death.\nAbstract: Cardiovascular disease is traditionally viewed through fragmented lenses-atherosclerosis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and heart failure as distinct entities. Emerging evidence positions PANoptosis, an integrated cell-death program combining pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis, as a unifying driver of inflammation and tissue destruction along the athero-myocardial axis. This synthesis reframes cardiovascular pathology as a continuum governed by shared immunometabolic triggers and coordinated cell-death machinery. We outline how upstream nucleic acid sensors, notably Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1) and absent in melanoma 2, orchestrate PANoptosome assembly, engaging receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK)1, RIPK3, Caspase-8, gasdermin D (GSDMD), mixed lineage kinase domain-like, and executioner caspases to produce multimodal lytic death. In the vasculature, disturbed flow activates Piezo1-Calpain signaling. This mechanotransduction is proposed to lower the threshold for endothelial PANoptosis, partly through mitochondrial Ca2+ overload, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release. Concurrently, macrophage uptake of oxidized lipids triggers a mitochondria-stimulator of interferon genes-GSDMD feed-forward loop. This process expands necrotic cores and destabilizes plaques. In ischemic myocardium, succinate-driven reverse electron transport generates a ROS burst during reperfusion, causing mtDNA release and ZBP1-dependent PANoptosis in cardiomyocytes. This cascade propagates systemic inflammation through defective efferocytosis, bone-marrow trained immunity, and extracellular vesicle (EV) cargo transfer, ultimately driving fibrosis and heart failure. Several conceptual and translational issues remain critical. Vascular and myocardial injuries may share core PANoptotic machinery, but they are linked systemically through inflammatory, metabolic, and immune feedback loops rather than by a simple linear cascade. Co-activation of pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis should be distinguished from true molecular shunting within PANoptosomes. Emerging EV-based propagation mechanisms require careful interpretation, and therapeutic windows differ across endothelial injury, plaque progression, reperfusion injury, and remodeling. Future strategies should prioritize nanomedicine-enabled precision delivery, metabolic reprogramming, and time-sensitive intervention across the athero-myocardial axis. This review proposes an athero-myocardial axis in which vascular and myocardial injuries share core PANoptotic machinery while being linked systemically through inflammatory, metabolic, and immune feedback loops. It differentiates co-activation from true molecular shunting within PANoptosomes, clarifies emerging EV-based propagation mechanisms, and maps time-sensitive therapeutic windows across endothelial injury, plaque progression, reperfusion injury, and remodeling.

Emerging evidence suggests that chronic infections can act as potent catalysts for cardiac decline by prematurely inducing aging phenotypes. Pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites, that evade host clearance establish a state of permanent inflammaging: a chronic, low-grade inflammatory milieu characterized by persistent cytokine signaling and leukocyte infiltration. This environment directly mirrors the sterile inflammation that drives natural senescence. Mechanistically, chronic infection subverts the heart's homeostatic pathways, triggering cardiomyocyte senescence through the dysregulation of mTOR signaling and the impairment of autophagy. These infections further drive mitochondrial dysfunction and the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative DNA damage and metabolic exhaustion within the myocardium. On a structural level, immune subversion, via macrophage polarization and the induction of autoimmunity, accelerates left ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial remodeling, and interstitial fibrosis. By characterizing chronic infection as a modifiable driver of biological aging, we can prioritize anti-infective strategies as essential components of cardiovascular longevity and geriatric care.\n\nID: 42456394\nTitle: Defective lysosomal acidification promotes chondrocyte senescence and autophagic flux stagnation in geriatric osteoarthritis.\nAbstract: Geriatric osteoarthritis (G-OA) represents a senescence and metabolism-driven pathobiological phenotype, closely associated with ageing. Although lysosomal dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a cardinal feature of age-related diseases, most current therapeutic strategies primarily target upstream regulators of autophagy, particularly the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. However, this approach may be limited in aged chondrocytes, where the efficiency of autophagic degradation is already compromised. With ageing, reduced vacuolar ATPase activity and the accumulation of intralysosomal lipofuscin may impair lysosomal acidification and degradative capacity. As a result, even when autophagy is pharmacologically stimulated, the clearance of autophagic cargo remains inefficient. This imbalance leads to the accumulation of undegraded autophagosomes, contributing to cellular stress and impaired autophagic flux. Importantly, lysosomal dysfunction under these conditions has increasingly been associated with the amplification of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and subsequent macrophage dysregulation. These interconnected processes may further exacerbate joint degeneration in G-OA. This review identifies lysosomal restoration as a potential therapeutic intervention point for overcoming downstream autophagic impairment in G-OA. Enhancing lysosomal acidification and degradative function may help re-establish effective autophagic flux and improve disease outcomes. Although several components of this proposed mechanistic framework require direct experimental validation in aged chondrocytes, the model provides a biologically plausible and testable basis for future investigations into lysosome-targeted therapeutic strategies for G-OA.\n\nID: 42427850\nTitle: Aging reprograms the functional, epigenetic, and metabolic landscape of macrophages.\nAbstract: Immuno-senescence is a dominant risk factor of chronic diseases, yet the impact of aging on macrophages remain understudied, despite their involvement in age-related conditions. Here, we define macrophage aging by integrating transcriptomic, epigenetic, metabolic, and functional analyses across the lifespan. Besides aging hallmarks, we uncovered progressive changes in macrophages, including reduced responsiveness to both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cues and an imbalanced cytokine and chemokine secretory profile. This age-driven remodeling is supported by significant rewiring of epigenetic regulators, particularly histone-modifying genes, alongside coordinated shifts in metabolism toward lipid activation and trafficking at the expense of mitochondrial redox programs. Strikingly, these alterations differ between M1- and M2-like macrophages, indicating phenotype-specific aging trajectories. Functionally, aged macrophages exhibit enhanced phagocytic capacity, diminished migratory ability, and preserved antigen presentation. Together, our findings establish that aging does not simply impair macrophages; it drives an active, multi-layered reprogramming process, providing a framework to address inflammaging and age-associated diseases.\n\nID: 42409241\nTitle: Asymmetric hydrogel with \"spear-shield\" properties promotes diabetic foot ulcer healing by modulating macrophage autophagy.\nAbstract: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) remain a formidable clinical challenge, with treatment difficulties stemming from impaired macrophage autophagy within the hyperglycaemic and oxidative stress microenvironment, coupled with the structural and functional limitations of existing dressings. Here, we report an asymmetric \"spear-shield\" hydrogel dressing designed to overcome these impairments and accelerate DFU repair. The dressing is built on a polyacrylamide (PAM) network incorporating a gradient of copper alginate (Cu-Alg), yielding a structurally continuous yet functionally stratified bilayer: a rigid, highly cross-linked outer shield that provides mechanical protection and anti-adhesion, and a soft, low-cross-linked inner spear that conforms to the wound bed and enables robust tissue adhesion. The spear layer further carries macrophage-targeting liposomes (AP-Lipo) assembled from dimeric artemisinin conjugates (dACS) and phosphatidylserine (PS). Artemisinin and Cu2+ activate macrophage autophagy via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and AMPK/mTOR pathways. Overall, this study demonstrates that an asymmetric hydrogel structure can effectively integrate targeted autophagy reactivation with intelligent wound protection, offering a new strategy for chronic wound therapy.\n\nID: 42404908\nTitle: Circadian control of immune homeostasis in cardiovascular health and disease.\nAbstract: The circadian system is an important regulator of cardiovascular immune homeostasis. Emerging evidence suggests that daily timing of immune responses may influence cardiovascular disease progression by coordinating leukocyte trafficking, inflammatory thresholds, metabolic adaptation, and tissue repair across the 24-hour cycle. This review examines how core and auxiliary circadian regulators, including BMAL1, CLOCK, PER/CRY complexes, REV-ERBs, RORs, and systemic timing cues, shape immune-cell activation through transcriptional, epigenetic, metabolic, and neuroendocrine mechanisms. We further synthesize evidence on circadian coordination of leukocyte trafficking, particularly the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis, and discuss how disrupted timing may promote inappropriate leukocyte recruitment into the vascular wall. At the cellular level, circadian misalignment has been associated with altered macrophage polarization, inflammasome activation, and inflammatory injury, processes that may modulate atherosclerosis, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and post-infarction remodeling. Finally, we evaluate the translational potential and current limitations of chronopharmacology, emphasizing that time-of-day treatment strategies require careful consideration of clinical evidence, circadian phase assessment, chronotype, sex, age, comorbidities, and treatment feasibility. This evidence-weighted chrono-immunological perspective may help refine future research on cardiovascular inflammation and inform the development of more individualized prevention and therapeutic strategies.\n\nID: 42400267\nTitle: Immunometabolism in Cardiovascular Disease: Linking Metabolic Reprogramming to Inflammation, Atherothrombosis, and Clinical Outcomes.\nAbstract: Cardiovascular disease remains the leading global cause of death, and a major part of its residual risk is now understood to be inflammatory rather than purely lipid-driven. Immunometabolism provides the missing link between metabolic stress and immune activation: excess lipids, hyperglycemia, and tissue hypoxia reprogram immune and vascular cells toward glycolysis, altered glutamine use, mitochondrial dysfunction, and durable epigenetic memory. In atherosclerosis, this metabolic shift fuels endothelial dysfunction, macrophage foam-cell formation, cytokine release, defective efferocytosis, and plaque instability. The concept extends beyond the plaque itself through trained immunity, in which monocytes and bone marrow progenitors retain a pro-inflammatory memory that can persist after the original trigger has passed. This helps explain why myocardial infarction, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia can leave a long inflammatory imprint on the vasculature. Immunometabolism also contributes to thromboinflammation, where activated platelets, neutrophils, and extracellular traps reinforce clot formation and amplify arterial injury. In heart failure, postischemic remodeling and chronic congestion are accompanied by immune-cell and cardiomyocyte metabolic remodeling that sustains inflammation, fibrosis, and adverse ventricular remodeling. Clinical trials targeting inflammation, especially canakinumab and low-dose colchicine, have shown that suppressing inflammatory pathways can reduce cardiovascular events, supporting the translational value of this biology. A clearer understanding of immunometabolic circuits may enable better risk stratification, biomarker-guided therapy, and new treatments that simultaneously stabilize plaques, reduce thrombosis, and improve postinfarction healing.\n\nID: 42359047\nTitle: Directing Neutrophil Fate via Sensory-Immune Interactions Accelerates Diabetic Bone Healing.\nAbstract: The intractability of diabetic bone defects mainly results from derailed inflammation. While peripheral neuropathy is a common comorbidity, whether sensory dysfunction contributes to uncontrolled inflammation in diabetes is poorly understood. Here, within diabetic bone defects, we show that diminished sensory innervation is coupled with disrupted immune dynamics, characterized by both delayed neutrophil chemotaxis and abnormal neutrophil retention that resulted from impaired macrophage efferocytosis. Therefore, we design a chocolate chip cookie-like scaffold, in which the surface-embedded microspheres function as \"chips\" enabling burst interleukin-8 (IL-8) release, while the surrounding matrix provides sustained nerve growth factor release from silk fibroin matrix. Timely neutrophil chemotaxis induced by IL-8 triggers bone healing via stem cell recruitment, which is reinforced by sensory innervation by inducing neutrophil N2 polarization. Notably, macrophages preferentially established intimate physical proximity to outgrowing neurites to form a synapse-like structure, where they restore efferocytosis driven by neuronal Galectin-3. Moreover, spatiotemporally regulating neuroimmune circuit enhances mandibular bone regeneration in diabetic rats, highlighting the therapeutic potential of neuroimmune interaction in programming diabetic inflammation resolution.\n\nID: 42341718\nTitle: Engineering the \"pro-healing niche\": Hydrogel-driven immunometabolic reprogramming for diabetic foot ulcers.\nAbstract: The refractory nature of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) stems from persistent immunometabolic dysregulation. Although a myriad of reviews have extensively categorized hydrogel dressings, most remain confined to passive material classifications and isolated phenotypic targets. To bridge this gap, this review delineates an integrated \"hydrogel engineering-immunometabolic regulation-tissue regeneration\" framework. We redefine hydrogels as \"intelligent bioreactors\" that actively construct a \"pro-healing niche,\" dissecting the underlying mechano-metabolic crosstalk (e.g., VASP/HIF-1\u03b1 and mTOR signaling). Furthermore, we elucidate the interventional mechanisms of diverse hydrogel strategies-including externally triggered, dynamically responsive, nanocomposite, and mechanically programmed platforms-across four critical pathways: glycolysis, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and oxidative stress. Crucially, by extracting raw healing data to calculate relative improvement rates and daily relative improvement rates, we quantitatively benchmark the discrepancies in healing kinetics among distinct strategies. Building upon this, we propose scenario-oriented clinical selection pathways: prioritizing near-infrared (NIR)-responsive or photocatalytic hydrogels for severely hypoxic DFUs, and recommending ultrasound-driven sequential \"sterilization-then-antioxidation\" hydrogels for neuropathic ulcers complicated by multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. Additionally, via precise metabolic reprogramming, these tailored hydrogels actively drive macrophage repolarization, restore T cell subset balance, and enhance dendritic cell efferocytosis. Finally, by integrating biomarker-driven standardized evaluations, GMP-compliant scale-up engineering, and AI-assisted modular production platforms, this review outlines a step-by-step clinical translational roadmap. This strategic roadmap aims to bridge the gap between laboratory prototypes and personalized precision medicine, ultimately providing a comprehensive blueprint for next-generation metabolic therapeutics in chronic wound management.\n\nID: 42288301\nTitle: Unraveling giant cell arteritis: From immunopathology to emerging targeted therapies (2026 update).\nAbstract: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common systemic vasculitis in the elderly mainly because of cellular senescence and \"inflammaging\" It results from granulomatous inflammation primarily affecting the aorta and its major branches. Recent advances highlight vascular dendritic cell (DC) activation via TLRs as the initiating event, leading to chemokine-mediated recruitment and polarization of CD4+ T cells mainly into Th1/Th17 subsets. These effector T cells drive monocyte differentiation into pro-inflammatory macrophages and giant cell formation, with subsequent matrix metalloproteinase production causing elastic lamina destruction and vascular remodeling. This vascular remodeling involves activation of endothelial cells, fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells followed by a differentiation in myofibroblast in the intima. Neutrophils may play an underestimated role. Current treatments remain limited to glucocorticoids, methotrexate and tocilizumab though relapse rates remain high. This narrative review synthesizes the DC-T-macrophage-fibroblast cascade and evaluates emerging biologics: abatacept showed phase 2 efficacy but real-world inferiority to tocilizumab; ustekinumab yielded conflicting results across small series; secukinumab failed phase 3 despite promising phase 2 data; anakinra lacked benefit in a truncated trial. In contrast, Mavrilimumab, an anti-GM-CSF-R, is showing promising results. JAK inhibitors such as upadacitinib (a JAK1 inhibitor; SELECT-GCA phase 3) are also promising, having demonstrated superior sustained remission compared with placebo, leading to regulatory approvals in 2025. These findings underscore opportunities to target upstream DC activation, macrophage polarization, and vascular remodeling pathways, potentially transforming GCA management beyond IL-6 inhibition.\n\nID: 42287984\nTitle: In situ macrophage CAR programming via ROS-responsive microneedles enhances efferocytosis and promotes mucosal regeneration.\nAbstract: Radiotherapy for head and neck cancer frequently induces severe radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM), in which excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), defective macrophage efferocytosis, and persistent inflammation form a self-amplifying pathological loop that delays mucosal repair. Current symptomatic treatments are insufficient to simultaneously suppress oxidative stress and restore immune-mediated clearance of damaged cells. Here, we developed a detachable microneedle patch with ROS-responsive tips (PTC MN) for localized in situ macrophage programming within RIOM lesions. The PTC MN was fabricated from a PPBA-TA-PVA hydrogel matrix, which combines intrinsic ROS-scavenging capacity with oxidative stress triggered degradation, and loaded with engineered hybrid nanovesicles (HLENs-CAR) carrying a plasmid encoding CAR-ectoCRT-IL-4. This design enabled local delivery of gene-loaded nanovesicles, macrophage-targeted genetic programming, and sustained retention of the therapeutic payload in the injured mucosa. In a murine RIOM model, PTC MN accelerated mucosal epithelial regeneration, reduced oxidative stress and inflammatory infiltration, enhanced reparative macrophage responses, and attenuated fibrosis-associated tissue remodeling. Functionally, the platform enhanced macrophage efferocytosis, promoted IL-4-associated reparative polarization, and shifted the lesion microenvironment toward inflammation resolution and tissue regeneration. Collectively, this study establishes a smart in situ immunomodulation strategy that integrates ROS-responsive microneedle delivery with CAR-macrophage programming, providing a potential therapeutic paradigm for refractory mucosal injury.\n\nID: 42265720\nTitle: Ferroptosis-driven immune remodeling in heart failure: the central role of macrophage reprogramming and impaired efferocytosis.\nAbstract: Progressive myocardial remodeling in heart failure (HF) is sustained by unresolved inflammation and defective tissue repair. Ferroptosis, characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a critical source of cardiomyocyte death in failing hearts. Importantly, ferroptotic cells release damage-associated molecular patterns and oxidized phospholipids that alter macrophage activation states and perpetuate inflammatory signaling. Under physiological conditions, macrophage-mediated efferocytosis ensures rapid clearance of dying cells and promotes inflammation resolution. In HF, however, excessive cell death burden, redox imbalance, and metabolic stress collectively impair efferocytic capacity. The resulting accumulation of apoptotic and ferroptotic debris reinforces inflammatory activation and extracellular matrix deposition, generating a vicious cycle of injury and fibrosis. Here, we synthesize evidence supporting a ferroptosis-centered immune remodeling loop and define efferocytosis as a regulatory checkpoint in disease progression. We also evaluate emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at interrupting this cycle through iron modulation, antioxidant delivery, metabolic reprogramming, and bioengineered targeting systems. Understanding this integrated axis may uncover novel intervention points for halting HF progression.\n\nID: 42257494\nTitle: Senescent BMSC-Derived Thbs1 Drives Inflammaging and Impairs Bone Regeneration by Suppressing PINK1/Parkin-Mediated Mitophagy in Macrophages.\nAbstract: The aging bone marrow microenvironment is characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation (\"inflammaging\"), which disrupts skeletal homeostasis and impairs bone regeneration. However, the stromal-immune crosstalk mechanisms sustaining this pathological state remain poorly defined. Here, transcriptomic analysis identified thrombospondin-1 (Thbs1) as a key upregulated component of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in aged bone mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs). We demonstrate that BMSC-derived Thbs1 drives pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage polarization by suppressing PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy. Mechanistically, Thbs1 binds to the TGF-\u03b2 type II receptor (Tgfbr2) on macrophages to activate Smad3 signaling, which transcriptionally represses the mitophagy regulator Pink1. This repression leads to mitochondrial superoxide accumulation and redox imbalance, thereby skewing macrophages toward an M1-like phenotype. These Thbs1-activated M1 macrophages, in turn, secrete IL-6, which activates the JAK/STAT3 pathway in BMSCs to inhibit osteogenic differentiation. Crucially, activated Stat3 directly binds the Thbs1 promoter, establishing a self-amplifying loop that perpetuates inflammaging and osteogenic decline. In\u00a0vivo, AAV9-mediated Thbs1 knockdown in aged rat bone defects restored mitochondrial homeostasis, promoted an M2 macrophage transition, and significantly enhanced bone repair. Our study reveals a vicious cycle involving the Thbs1/TGF-\u03b2/Smad3/PINK1-IL-6/JAK/STAT3 axis that sustains inflammaging and osteogenic decline, highlighting Thbs1 as a promising therapeutic target for age-related bone regeneration.\n\nID: 42245002\nTitle: Efferocytosis in heart failure: Mechanisms, dysregulation and therapeutic potential.\nAbstract: Heart failure (HF) remains one of the leading health problems globally. It is often characterized by unresolved inflammation, adverse cardiac remodeling, and tissue damage. Efferocytosis, the process by which phagocytes clear apoptotic cells, is a key process that helps to resolve inflammation and maintain tissue homeostasis. In the healthy heart, efferocytosis ensures the proper removal of apoptotic cardiac cells (e.g., cardiac fibroblasts and cardiomyocytes) and promotes inflammation resolution and secretion of anti-inflammation cytokines. However, emerging evidence suggests that this process is often impaired in patients with heart failure, and as a result leads to chronic inflammation, secondary necrosis, and tissue scarring. This review explores the cellular and molecular processes guiding efferocytosis and how its dysregulation potentially contributes to advanced heart failure. It also explores how factors like macrophage and endothelial cell phenotypes, lipid mediators, and nuclear transcription factors influence the efficiency of efferocytosis in the myocardium. By synthesizing current findings, we propose that restoring efficient efferocytosis in the failing heart may present a promising therapeutic approach to resolving inflammation and improving the outcomes of patients with heart failure.\n\nID: 42241091\nTitle: A Dual-Phase Exosomal Nanotherapy Enhances Continual Efferocytosis by Coordinating Checkpoint Inhibition and Metabolic Reprogramming in Atherosclerosis.\nAbstract: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by defective efferocytosis, which contributes to necrotic core expansion and plaque instability. This dysfunction arises from two key barriers: first, impaired recognition of apoptotic cells due to activation of the CD47-SIRP\u03b1 immune checkpoint; and second, insufficient metabolic processing of apoptotic cell-derived substrates, which limits the capacity for continual efferocytosis. Arg1-mediated arginine metabolism has emerged as a crucial pathway supporting this process. To address these limitations, we created Am@SExo, a dual-functional engineered exosome derived from macrophages that unites checkpoint inhibition with metabolic reprogramming. The vesicles overexpress SIRP\u03b1 on its surface to competitively engage CD47 on apoptotic cells and relieve the inhibitory signal, facilitating initial binding and uptake. Subsequently, it delivers Arg1 mRNA to recipient macrophages, driving an arginine to putrescine program aligned with Rac1 and actin remodeling to sustain successive rounds of clearance. In ApoE-/- mice, systemic administration of Am@SExo significantly reduced necrotic core area, increased fibrous cap thickness, and enhanced features of plaque stability. Together, our findings demonstrate that Am@SExo as a single-platform, dual-phase modulator that restores macrophage continual efferocytosis, offering a promising strategy to resolve inflammation and stabilize atherosclerotic plaques.\n\nID: 42234235\nTitle: B10 Adoptive Transfer Ameliorates Inflammation and Bone Loss in Experimental Periodontitis Through Promoting Macrophage-Mediated Pro-Resolving Functions.\nAbstract: Immune cell-cell interaction plays a critical role in the regulation of inflammatory responses. IL-10-expressing regulatory B cells (B10) alleviate the periodontal inflammation and bone loss by secreting IL-10, which can stimulate pro-resolving macrophage differentiation. However, little is known about the dynamic B10-macrophage interaction and the specific B10-induced pro-resolving functions in vivo in periodontitis. This study aimed to determine the dynamic local infiltration of B10 and macrophages, and the B10-induced macrophage differentiation and functions in experimental periodontitis. B10 were adoptively transferred via tail vein injection in a mouse model of experimental periodontitis. In some experiments, macrophages were depleted by intraperitoneal injection of clodronate liposomes. Dynamic gingival infiltration of B10 and macrophages were evaluated by in vivo imaging system (IVIS). The level of bone loss was evaluated by Micro-CT and TRAP staining. Cytokine productions, macrophage efferocytosis and autophagy were assessed by immunohistochemical / immunofluorescence analysis. Production of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) was detected by LC-MS/MS. B10 adoptive transfer inhibited alveolar bone resorption and osteoclast differentiation. B10 adoptive transfer promoted the number of pro-resolving macrophages compared with the control groups. A significant increase in IL-10, Arg-1, and YM-1, ATG5\u207a, LC3B\u207a, CD68\u207aLC3B\u207a, CD68+ATG5+ and CD68\u207aLy6G\u207a cells were detected in gingival tissues following B10 transfer, accompanied by a marked decrease in IL-17\u00a0A, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-1\u03b2 expression. However, the B10-mediated suppression of alveolar bone resorption, osteoclast differentiation, TNF-\u03b1 and IL-1\u03b2 expression, as well as the upregulation of IL-10, ATG5, and LC3B, was attenuated upon macrophage depletion, whereas IL-17\u00a0A expression remained suppressed regardless of the macrophage presence. Notably, B10 adoptive transfer promoted RvD2 release in a macrophage-dependent manner. This study suggested that B10 adoptive transfer inhibited inflammation and bone loss in experimental periodontitis through the induction of macrophage-mediated pro-resolving functions, including RvD2 production, enhanced neutrophil clearance, and induction of macrophage autophagy.\n\nID: 42208108\nTitle: Asiaticoside alleviates mesothelial cell senescence and peritoneal fibrosis by targeting macrophage-mesothelial communication in single-cell peritoneal landscape.\nAbstract: Peritoneal fibrosis (PF) is a critical factor limiting long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD). The specific composition of peritoneal cells and intercellular communication remain unelucidated in PF context. Asiaticoside (ASI) possesses anti-fibrotic properties, but its therapeutic effects on PD-related PF and underlying mechanisms stay unclear. To investigate changes in peritoneal cell components and their interactions during PF progression. To explore the pharmacological effects and potential mechanism of ASI against PF. A mouse PF model was induced with high-glucose peritoneal dialysis fluid (PDF). Samples of parietal peritoneum were collected for single-cell RNA sequencing. The intercellular communication network was systematically characterized within the PF microenvironment. Immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, western blotting, qRT-PCR, and ELISA were conducted to elucidate the specific anti-fibrotic mechanisms of ASI. The single-cell RNA sequencing atlas of PD-induced PF comprises 57,032 single cells classified into seven distinct cell types. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) signaling was dysregulated in PF between macrophages and mesothelial cells and regulated mesothelial cell senescence. The accumulation of senescent mesothelial cells and their senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) promoted inflammaging and thereby exacerbated PF. IGF1 supplementation with M2-M\u03c6 supernatants or exogenous IGF1 alleviated mesothelial cell senescence and decreased fibrotic responses in PF mice. Treatment with ASI alleviated mesothelial cell senescence and prevented PF in vivo. ASI inhibited mesothelial cell senescence by enhancing IGF1 signaling in macrophages-mesothelial communication. ASI inhibited mesothelial cell senescence via macrophage/IGF1 axis to alleviate PF in single-cell peritoneal landscape. These findings highlight the potential of ASI as a therapeutic agent against PF.\n\nID: 42183275\nTitle: Neutrophil efferocytosis in chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases: mechanistic insights and therapeutic potential.\nAbstract: Efferocytosis-the phagocytic clearance of apoptotic cells-is central to tissue homeostasis and the active resolution of inflammation. Although its mechanistic basis and disease relevance have been studied in isolation, no review has comprehensively integrated neutrophil efferocytosis mechanisms, their pathophysiological roles across major chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases, and natural product-based therapeutic strategies-a gap this work addresses. We systematically describe the efferocytic recognition cascade, encompassing find-me signals, eat-me signals (including phosphatidylserine and the underappreciated plasminogen/M6P-IGF2R axis), and don't-eat-me checkpoints (CD47-SIRP\u03b1). We clarify that efferocytosis is not restricted to M2-polarized macrophages-M0 and M1 macrophages also participate-but that polarization state critically determines the pro-resolving coupling of downstream signaling. We analyze shared and disease-specific efferocytic defect mechanisms in inflammatory bowel disease, chronic gastritis, NAFLD/NASH, and pancreatitis, identifying IL-10R signaling failure, receptor shedding, CD47 upregulation, and SPM deficiency as convergent pathological nodes. Against this backdrop, we critically evaluate natural product strategies-flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, polysaccharides, and omega-3 fatty acids-targeting these nodes, with explicit grading of evidence levels. Translational challenges and the potential of single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and patient-derived organoid co-culture systems are also discussed. Restoring efferocytosis represents a mechanistically grounded therapeutic frontier for chronic gastrointestinal disease.\n\nID: 42183253\nTitle: From anti-inflammation to pro-resolution: a new paradigm for specialized pro-resolving mediators in regulating neuroinflammation and repair after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.\nAbstract: Uncontrolled neuroinflammation following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion is a core pathophysiological process driving secondary brain injury and leading to long-term neurological dysfunction. For decades, traditional \"anti-inflammatory\" strategies targeting the inhibition of key pro-inflammatory pathways have repeatedly failed in clinical translation, compelling a fundamental re-evaluation of the biological nature of inflammation. Inflammation is not a process that passively subsides upon stimulus removal but a dynamic one that requires active \"resolution\" through endogenous programs to restore tissue homeostasis. Within this precisely regulated program, a family of endogenous lipid mediators derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids-Specialized Pro-resolving Mediators (SPMs)-act as central executors. This review systematically proposes a translational framework for post-stroke inflammation management, shifting from traditional \"passive anti-inflammation\" to \"active pro-resolution.\" We first delve into the translational challenges and theoretical limitations of conventional anti-inflammatory therapies. Subsequently, we elaborate on the biosynthetic network of SPMs, their major families (lipoxins, resolvins, protectins, and maresins), and their pleiotropic biological functions, including halting neutrophil infiltration, reprogramming macrophage/microglial functions, enhancing the efficiency of apoptotic cell clearance (efferocytosis), and maintaining blood-brain barrier integrity. The central thesis of this review is that a key mechanism underlying the persistent neuropathological deterioration after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion is the failure of the endogenous inflammation resolution program, termed \"resolution dysfunction.\" By integrating mounting clinical evidence with extensive preclinical studies, this review provides a systematic argument for this hypothesis. Exogenous administration of SPMs or their stable analogs has demonstrated significant neuroprotective effects in various animal models, effectively reducing infarct volume and improving functional outcomes. Finally, this review explores the critical challenges in developing SPMs into novel stroke therapies, such as pharmacokinetics, therapeutic windows, and targeted delivery, and poses forward-looking questions for future research in the field. In summary, targeting and restoring the brain's endogenous inflammation resolution programs not only offers a promising new strategy for stroke treatment but also represents a profound practice of a disruptive therapeutic philosophy aimed at promoting the restoration of tissue homeostasis.\n=======================================================\n\n### [CUSTOM DATAPOINTS]\nCRITICAL EXTRACTION DIRECTIVE: You MUST extract the following custom datapoints as root-level key/value pairs inside your final JSON block:\n- \"suggested_experiments\": generate 1-3 suggested experiments\n- \"suggested_studies\": generate 1-3 suggested studies\n- \"swansons_literature_based_discovery_candidates\": You are an advanced Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) system executing Swanson\u2019s complementary-but-disjoint (A-B-C) model.

The circadian clock dominates temporal activity of physiological homeostasis at the molecular level, including endocrine secretion, metabolic, immune response, coupled with extrinsic environmental cues (e.g., light/dark cycles) and behavioral cues (e.g., sleep/wake cycles and feeding/fasting cycles). The other side of the clock is that the misaligned circadian rhythm contributes to the onset of a variety of diseases, such as cancer, metabolic diseases, and cardiovascular diseases, the acceleration of aging, and the development of systemic inflammation. The role played by macrophages is a key mediator between circadian disruption and systemic inflammation. At the molecular level, macrophage functions are under the direct control of the circadian clock, and thus the circadian misalignment remodels the phenotype of macrophages toward a 'killer' mode. Remarkably, the inflammatory macrophages induce systemic and chronic inflammation, leading to the development of inflammatory diseases and the dampened immune defensive machinery against infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Here, we discuss how the circadian clock regulates macrophage immune functions and provide the potential risk of misaligned circadian rhythms against inflammatory and infectious diseases.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 35281442 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42421941 for the quote: \"Emerging evidence indicates that macrophages act as metabolic hubs, recycling and supplying nutrients to surrounding tissues.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

In this study, we show that macrophage functions such as phagocytosis and cytokine/chemokine expressions display a circadian rhythm that is regulated by a molecular clock. Phagocytosis, a crucial early reaction by which macrophages protect their host against foreign particles, exhibited a circadian variation that peaks during the light period and bottoms during the dark period. These diurnal changes of phagocytosis activity in macrophages were induced without exogenous stimulants such as bacterial infection. The expression of the clock genes including brain and muscle Arnt-like protein-1 (BMAL1) exhibited robust circadian rhythms in macrophages. The expression patterns of the clock genes in macrophages were similar to those in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and other peripheral tissues. Among inflammation factors examined, the level of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1/JE) mRNA exhibited most robust circadian oscillation. Expression of other cytokines such as IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNFalpha showed mild diurnal changes. Knockdown of the BMAL1 expression resulted in a decrease of the MCP-1/JE mRNA level in macrophages. BMAL1 increased significantly but weakly MCP-1/JE promoter activity. MCP-1/JE promoter activity is known to be regulated by nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB). NF-kappaB activity in BMAL1 knockdown macrophages was lower than that in control cells. Consequently, the circadian expression of MCP-1/JE in macrophages is regulated by BMAL1 through the activation of NF-kappaB. The results obtained in this study indicate that the innate immunoreactions involving macrophages are at least partly regulated by the autonomous clock machinery.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 17409491 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 40915106 for the quote: \"AMPK activation is a key nexus linking lipid mediator signaling and the restoration of efferocytic function in senescent or \"foamy\" macrophages.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Although macrophages are pivotal for MD clearance, the impact of excessive MD phagocytosis on macrophage phenotype and function remains poorly understood. Building upon our prior evidence that exendin-4 (Ex-4), a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist, mitigates microglia-driven neuroinflammation post-SCI, this study elucidates the therapeutic efficacy and underlying mechanisms of Ex-4 in alleviating macrophage senescence, restoring efferocytotic capacity, and facilitating neural repair. Employing a T10 contusive SCI model in male C57BL/6 mice, in vivo administration of Ex-4 was combined with macrophage-specific knockdown of growth arrest-specific 6 (Gas6) via AAV-shRNA. Complementary in vitro assays involved bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) challenged with MD in the presence or absence of Ex-4 or AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) inhibition. Cellular senescence and efferocytosis were comprehensively assessed through live-cell imaging, immunofluorescence, senescence-associated \u03b2-galactosidase staining, quantitative PCR, and western blotting. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations elucidated GLP-1R-AMPK interactions, corroborated by in vivo validation. Results demonstrate that MD-engulfing macrophages exhibit foam cell-like morphology and upregulated senescence markers, including increased \u03b2-galactosidase activity and senescence-associated secretory phenotype, concomitant with diminished efferocytosis via downregulation of the Axl receptor. Senescent macrophages were shown to exacerbate neuronal apoptosis and astrocytic scar formation in co-culture systems. Ex-4 treatment significantly attenuated macrophage senescence, restored efferocytotic function, and reduced neuronal injury and astrocyte activation, effects contingent upon AMPK/Gas6/Axl pathway activation and abrogated by Gas6 knockdown. In vivo, Ex-4 administration enhanced remyelination, axonal regeneration, and functional recovery, while attenuating glial scar formation following SCI. Collectively, these findings identify macrophage senescence induced by excessive MD phagocytosis as a novel pathological contributor to SCI progression and establish Ex-4 as a promising therapeutic agent that restores macrophage homeostasis and promotes neural repair via GLP-1R/AMPK/Gas6/Axl signaling.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 40915106 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"Pharmacologic EP2 inhibition restored youthful neutrophil clearance, establishing impaired TRM efferocytosis as a reversible driver of organ decline in aging.\" (Source: 42462036)\n- \"At the molecular level, macrophage functions are under the direct control of the circadian clock, and thus the circadian misalignment remodels the phenotype of macrophages toward a 'killer' mode.\" (Source: 35281442)\n- \"AMP-activated protein kinase activators lead to mTORC1 inhibition and, consequently, released the palmitate-induced efferocytosis block in macrophages.\" (Source: 36359898)\n- \"Moreover, although macrophage phagocytosis typically declined during the dark period, MCS during the light period prevented this reduction.\" (Source: 39744689)\n- \"Ozone facilitated macrophage clearance of apoptotic cells, decreased neuroinflammation by activation of p-AMPK/Gas6/MerTK/SOCS3 signaling pathway, which may become an effective therapeutic approach for neuropathic pain after further clinical validation.\" (Source: 39628480)\n- \"Notably, activation of AMPK in macrophages or neutralisation of HMGB1 in BAL fluid improved efferocytosis and NET clearance.\" (Source: 29946009)\n- \"Targeting efferocytosis is a potential manner to repolarize M1 macrophages into pro-resolving M2 phenotype, which restores immune homeostasis by releasing anti-inflammatory mediators.\" (Source: 39366181)\n- \"Overall, our data suggest an interaction between the molecular circadian clock and monocytes/macrophages effector function in inflammatory lung diseases.\" (Source: 38863703)\n- \"Using a culture model of infection of bone marrow-derived macrophages with L. major promastigotes, we show that the parasites are internalised into macrophages with a 24-h variation dependent on a functional circadian clock in the cells.\" (Source: 38817112)\n- \"RSV boosted macrophage efferocytosis by up-regulating the levels of phospho-AMPK\u03b1, phospho-STAT3 and S1PR1, which was reversed by AMPK, STAT3 and S1PR1 inhibitors, respectively.\" (Source: 38262562)\n- \"RvD1 also enhanced the uptake of NCs via the activation of p-AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), increased fatty acid oxidation, and enhanced oxidative phosphorylation in macrophages.\" (Source: 33472399)\n- \"Treatment of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) or alveolar macrophages with isoflurane dramatically enhanced phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils.\" (Source: 28671983)\n- \"Our results show a rapid activation of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) in macrophages upon exposure to apoptotic cells or lysophosphatidylcholine, a specific phospholipid that is produced and released from dying cells.\" (Source: 23897815)\n- \"Noninvasive MCS prevented time-dependent reduction in macrophage phagocytosis of cancer cells by modulating the circadian clock genes.\" (Source: 39744689)\n- \"The circadian system is an important regulator of cardiovascular immune homeostasis.\" (Source: 42404908)\n- \"Reducing TRM EP2 signaling in aged mice preserved youthful mitochondrial fitness and prevented cognitive decline, frailty, sarcopenia, adiposity, cardiac impairment, and systemic inflammation.\" (Source: 42462036)\n\n\nINSTRUCTION: Study the actual abstracts provided.

The provided literature corroborates that TRM efferocytosis is a central, reversible driver of organ aging. Evidence confirms that macrophage phagocytic function follows circadian rhythms and that metabolic modulators like AMPK activators and EP2 inhibitors can restore efferocytic capacity. Alignment of metabolic interventions with macrophage circadian rhythms is mechanistically plausible given that macrophage effector functions are clock-controlled.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nResearch confirms that aging disrupts organ systems through the impaired clearance of senescent neutrophils by TRMs. Pharmacologic EP2 inhibition restored youthful neutrophil clearance, establishing impaired TRM efferocytosis as a reversible driver of organ decline in aging. Reducing TRM EP2 signaling in aged mice preserved youthful mitochondrial fitness and prevented cognitive decline, frailty, sarcopenia, adiposity, cardiac impairment, and systemic inflammation. The importance of the circadian clock in innate immunity is paramount: At the molecular level, macrophage functions are under the direct control of the circadian clock, and thus the circadian misalignment remodels the phenotype of macrophages toward a 'killer' mode. The circadian system is an important regulator of cardiovascular immune homeostasis. Consequently, metabolic checkpoints are critical: AMP-activated protein kinase activators lead to mTORC1 inhibition and, consequently, released the palmitate-induced efferocytosis block in macrophages. Treatment of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) or alveolar macrophages with isoflurane dramatically enhanced phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils. Targeting these pathways chronotherapeutically remains a critical frontier.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   TRM efferocytosis is not merely a debris-clearing function but a metabolic hub that shapes systemic homeostasis through nutrient recycling.\n*   The circadian clock controls phagocytosis; however, circadian control of host-fungal interaction is not based on cell-intrinsic macrophage rhythms, implying complex in vivo regulation.\n*   AMPK activation is a central node for both lipid mediator signaling and the restoration of efferocytosis in senescent \"foamy\" macrophages.\n*   Microcurrent stimulation (MCS) can override circadian declines in macrophage phagocytosis by modulating clock genes.\n*   EP2 receptor signaling negatively regulates efferocytosis; its inhibition serves as a powerful systemic anti-aging intervention.\n*   The efferocytic capacity of macrophages is frequently subverted in aging and chronic inflammatory states through receptor shedding or ligand-induced signaling blocks.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

The animals were tested every 4 h around the clock. Collected macrophages were incubated in vitro for 3 or 18 h. Monoclonal antibodies permitted detection of T-lymphocytes, suppressor-cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, helper-inducer T-lymphocytes, or B-lymphocytes. Two types of analyses were performed: First, the difference between the same intervals of the 12 h light or dark period was determined. The macrophage ingestion was significantly lower at the beginning and higher at the end of the dark period. We have also found a significant increase in blood T-lymphocytes of helper-inducer T-lymphocyte percentages and of the T helper-inducer: T suppressor-cytotoxic ratio during the dark period. Second, the ultradian variation during the 12 h light or dark period was determined. The variability was significant both for macrophage spreading and ingestion. Multiple significant variations of lymph node, spleen, or blood lymphocyte percentages were also observed. All of these data indicate that daily alteration of the lighting regimen significantly influences mouse peritoneal macrophage functions and various lymphocyte subsets.",
        "11316329": "ID: 11316329\nTitle: Circadian rhythm of melatonin, corticosterone and phagocytosis: effect of stress.\nAbstract: Melatonin has a functional connection with the immune system. Phagocyte function is altered by extirpation of the pineal gland, one source of melatonin, or by in vitro incubation of phagocytes with pharmacological concentrations of melatonin. Given that its synthesis by pinealocytes is under the control of the noradrenaline released by the sympathetic postganglionaric nerve endings, the present work was aimed at evaluating the circadian rhythm of melatonin, corticosterone, and phagocytosis in BALB/c mice in basal and stress situations. Peritoneal macrophages were used as phagocytes, latex beads as the particles to be ingested, and forced swimming to exhaustion as the stress situation. Radioimmunoassay was used to determine the animals' serum hormone levels. Samples were taken every 3 hr in the period from 04:00 to 22:00 hr, and every 30 min during the remaining period from 22:00 to 04:00 hr. Control mice presented a short-term melatonin peak at 23:30 hr, while the maximum inert-particle ingestion capacity of the peritoneal macrophages also occurred during the night but at 03:30 hr. The corticosterone levels in control mice presented a circadian rhythm with a day-time maximum peak (16:00 hr). Compared with the controls, the animals subjected to stress maintained, although at lower values, the melatonin peak at 23:30 hr, but they presented a loss of the rhythm of serum corticosterone levels, and the corticosterone levels and the macrophage phagocytic capacity were greater at all hours of the day.",
        "15663184": "ID: 15663184\nTitle: Effect of orally administered L-tryptophan on serotonin, melatonin, and the innate immune response in the rat.\nAbstract: To assess the effects of external administration of L-tryptophan on the synthesis of serotonin and melatonin as well as on the immune function of Wistar rats, 300 mg of the amino acid were administered through an oral cannula either during daylight (08:00) or at night (20:00) for 5 days. Brain, plasma, and peritoneal macrophage samples were collected 4 h after the administration. The accumulation of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) after decarboxylase inhibition was used to measure the rate of tryptophan hydroxylation in vivo. Circulating melatonin levels were determined by radioimmunoassay, and the phagocytic activity of macrophages was measured by counting, under oil-immersion phase-contrast microscopy, the number of particles ingested. The results showed a diurnal increase (p < 0.05) in the brain 5-HTP, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), and 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA) of the animals which had received tryptophan at 08:00 and were killed 4 h later. In the animals which received tryptophan during the dark period, the 5-HT declined but the 5-HT/5-HIAA ratio remained unchanged. There was also a significant increase (p < 0.05) in nocturnal circulating melatonin levels and in the innate immune response of the peritoneal macrophages in the animals which had received tryptophan at 20:00. The results indicated that the synthesis of serotonin and melatonin, as well as the innate immune response, can be modulated by oral ingestion of tryptophan.",
        "17409491": "ID: 17409491\nTitle: Characterization of the molecular clock in mouse peritoneal macrophages.\nAbstract: Macrophages play essential roles in the innate immune system. In this study, we show that macrophage functions such as phagocytosis and cytokine/chemokine expressions display a circadian rhythm that is regulated by a molecular clock. Phagocytosis, a crucial early reaction by which macrophages protect their host against foreign particles, exhibited a circadian variation that peaks during the light period and bottoms during the dark period. These diurnal changes of phagocytosis activity in macrophages were induced without exogenous stimulants such as bacterial infection. The expression of the clock genes including brain and muscle Arnt-like protein-1 (BMAL1) exhibited robust circadian rhythms in macrophages. The expression patterns of the clock genes in macrophages were similar to those in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and other peripheral tissues. Among inflammation factors examined, the level of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1/JE) mRNA exhibited most robust circadian oscillation. Expression of other cytokines such as IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNFalpha showed mild diurnal changes. Knockdown of the BMAL1 expression resulted in a decrease of the MCP-1/JE mRNA level in macrophages. BMAL1 increased significantly but weakly MCP-1/JE promoter activity. MCP-1/JE promoter activity is known to be regulated by nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB). NF-kappaB activity in BMAL1 knockdown macrophages was lower than that in control cells. Consequently, the circadian expression of MCP-1/JE in macrophages is regulated by BMAL1 through the activation of NF-kappaB. The results obtained in this study indicate that the innate immunoreactions involving macrophages are at least partly regulated by the autonomous clock machinery.",
        "17693961": "ID: 17693961\nTitle: Altered circadian rhythms of corticosterone, melatonin, and phagocytic activity in response to stress in rats.\nAbstract: Corticosterone is thought to be the main glucocorticoid secreted in response to stressful exercise, while melatonin buffers the adverse immunological effects of stress. The present work was aimed to evaluate whether swimming-exercise-induced stress leads to changes in the chronobiology parameters of the circadian rhythms of melatonin and corticosterone, and in the number and phagocytosis of peritoneal macrophages in 3-month-old male Wistar rats. The animals were subjected to a physical activity trial consisting of 2 h of free swimming. Radioimmunoassay was used to determine the plasma levels of melatonin and corticosterone. Phagocytosis was measured by the latex-bead phagocytosis index (PI), i.e., the number of latex beads ingested by 100 macrophages, the phagocytosis percentage (PP), i.e., the percentage of cells that had phagocytosed at least one latex bead, and the phagocytosis efficiency (PE), i.e., the ratio PI: PP which indicates how effectively the phagocytes ingested the particles. Stress significantly decreased the MESOR and amplitude of the melatonin rhythm, and significantly increased the MESOR of the corticosterone rhythm. The control animals' peritoneal macrophage number and PI showed a circadian rhythm with maxima at 02:00 and 03:00, respectively. The stressed group displayed higher values of PI than the controls at most hours of the night, but the number of cells in the peritoneal cavity was practically the same at all hours studied. These data confirm that melatonin and corticosterone act as modulators of the innate immune response, and that the circadian rhythm of the two hormones are altered in situations of stress.",
        "19124657": "ID: 19124657\nTitle: Efferocytosis impairs pulmonary macrophage and lung antibacterial function via PGE2/EP2 signaling.\nAbstract: The ingestion of apoptotic cells (ACs; termed \"efferocytosis\") by phagocytes has been shown to trigger the release of molecules such as transforming growth factor beta, interleukin-10 (IL-10), nitric oxide, and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)). Although the antiinflammatory actions of these mediators may contribute to the restoration of homeostasis after tissue injury, their potential impact on antibacterial defense is unknown. The lung is highly susceptible to diverse forms of injury, and secondary bacterial infections after injury are of enormous clinical importance. We show that ACs suppress in vitro phagocytosis and bacterial killing by alveolar macrophages and that this is mediated by a cyclooxygenase-PGE(2)-E prostanoid receptor 2 (EP2)-adenylyl cyclase-cyclic AMP pathway. Moreover, intrapulmonary administration of ACs demonstrated that PGE(2) generated during efferocytosis and acting via EP2 accounts for subsequent impairment of lung recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and clearance of Streptococcus pneumoniae, as well as enhanced generation of IL-10 in vivo. These results suggest that in addition to their beneficial homeostatic influence, antiinflammatory programs activated by efferocytosis in the lung have the undesirable potential to dampen innate antimicrobial responses. They also identify an opportunity to reduce the incidence and severity of pneumonia in the setting of lung injury by pharmacologically targeting synthesis of PGE(2) or ligation of EP2.",
        "23897815": "ID: 23897815\nTitle: Mitochondria and AMP-activated protein kinase-dependent mechanism of efferocytosis.\nAbstract: Defective clearance of apoptotic cells is frequently associated with perpetuation of inflammatory conditions. Our results show a rapid activation of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) in macrophages upon exposure to apoptotic cells or lysophosphatidylcholine, a specific phospholipid that is produced and released from dying cells. AMPK activation resulted from inhibition of mitochondrial oxygen consumption and ATP production and further depended on Ca(2+) mobilization and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation. Once activated, AMPK increased microtubule synthesis and chemokinesis and provided adaptation to energy demand during tracking and engulfment. Uptake of apoptotic cells was increased in lungs of mice that received lysophosphatidylcholine. Furthermore, inhibition of AMPK diminished clearance of apoptotic thymocytes in vitro and in dexamethasone-treated mice. Taken together, we conclude that the mitochondrial AMPK axis is a sensor and enhancer of tracking and removal of apoptotic cell, processes crucial to resolution of inflammatory conditions and a return to tissue homeostasis.",
        "24903615": "ID: 24903615\nTitle: Crosstalk between circadian rhythmicity, mitochondrial dynamics and macrophage bactericidal activity.\nAbstract: Biological functions show rhythmic fluctuations with 24-hr periodicity regulated by circadian proteins encoded by the so-called 'clock' genes. The absence or deregulation of circadian proteins in mice leads to metabolic disorders and in vitro models have shown that the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines by macrophages follows a circadian rhythm so showing a link between circadian rhythmicity, metabolism and immunity. Recent evidence reveals that mitochondrial shape, position and size, collectively referred to as mitochondrial dynamics, are related to both cell metabolism and immune function. However, studies addressing the simultaneous crosstalk between circadian rhythm, mitochondrial dynamics and cell immune function are scarce. Here, by using an in vitro model of synchronized murine peritoneal macrophages, we present evidence that the mitochondrial dynamics and the mitochondrial membrane potential (\u2206\u03c8m ) follow a circadian rhythmic pattern. In addition, it is shown that the fusion of mitochondria along with high \u2206\u03c8m , indicative of high mitochondrial activity, precede the highest phagocytic and bactericidal activity of macrophages on Salmonella typhimurium. Taken together, our results suggest a timely coordination between circadian rhythmicity, mitochondrial dynamics, and the bactericidal capacity of macrophages.",

Complement component C1q is required for efficient engulfment of apoptotic cells (efferocytosis), and C1q deficiency leads to the development of lupus. We recently identified a novel molecular mechanism for C1q-dependent efferocytosis in murine macrophages. C1q elicited the expression of Mer tyrosine kinase (Mer), a receptor that regulates efficient efferocytosis and prevention of autoimmunity. To characterize the C1q-dependent signal transduction mechanism, pathway analysis of the transcriptome from C1q-activated macrophages was performed, and it identified the adiponectin signaling pathway as significantly upregulated with C1q. Adiponectin is structurally homologous to C1q and regulates cellular metabolism via downstream activation of 5'adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Macrophage stimulation with C1q resulted in the activation of AMPK, and silencing of AMPK expression using siRNA-inhibited C1q-dependent efferocytosis. Adiponectin signaling also stimulates activation of nuclear receptors, and inhibition of the nuclear receptor retinoid X receptor abrogated C1q-dependent Mer expression and efferocytosis. Furthermore, adiponectin elicited Mer expression and Mer-dependent efferocytosis in macrophages similar to cells stimulated with C1q. Collectively, our results suggest that C1q and adiponectin share a common signal transduction cascade to promote clearance of apoptotic cells, and identify a novel molecular pathway required for efficient efferocytosis.",

Photoreceptor outer segment (POS) renewal involves phagocytosis of the distal disk membranes by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Previously, we identified melanoregulin (MREG) as an intracellular cargo-sorting protein required for the degradation of POS disks. Here, we provide evidence that MREG-dependent processing links both autophagic and phagocytic processes in LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP). Ingested POS phagosomes are associated with endogenous LC3 and MREG. The LC3 association with POSs exhibited properties of LAP; it was independent of rapamycin pretreatment, but dependent on Atg5. Loss of MREG resulted in a decrease in the extent of LC3-POS association. Studies using DQ-BSA suggest that loss of MREG does not compromise the association and fusion of LC3-positive phagosomes with lysosomes. Furthermore, the mechanism of MREG action is likely through a protein complex that includes LC3, as determined by colocalization and immunoprecipitation in both RPE cells and macrophages. We posit that MREG participates in coordinating the association of phagosomes with LC3 for content degradation with the loss of MREG leading to phagosome accumulation.",

However, little information is available on the effects of AICAR on the clearance of apoptotic cells by macrophages, known as efferocytosis, which is essential in maintaining tissue homeostasis and resolving inflammation. AICAR increased p38 MAPK activation and the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by macrophages, which were inhibited by the p38 MAPK inhibitor, SB203580, the TGF-beta-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) inhibitor, (5Z)-7-oxozeaenol, and siRNA-mediated knock-down of p38\u03b1. AICAR increased phosphorylation of Akt, but the inhibition of PI3K/Akt activity using LY294002 did not affect the AICAR-induced changes in efferocytosis in macrophages. CGS15943, a non-selective adenosine receptor antagonist, did not affect AICAR-induced changes in efferocytosis, but dipyridamole, an adenosine transporter inhibitor, diminished the AICAR-mediated increases in efferocytosis. AICAR-induced p38 MAPK phosphorylation was not inhibited by the AMPK inhibitor, compound C, or siRNA-mediated knock-down of AMPK\u03b11. Inhibition of AMPK using compound C or 5'-iodotubercidin did not completely block AICAR-mediated increases in efferocytosis. Furthermore, AICAR also increased the removal of apoptotic neutrophils or thymocytes in mouse lungs. These results reveal a novel mechanism by which AICAR increases macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and suggest that AICAR may be used to treat efferocytosis-related inflammatory conditions.",

Here, we investigated the effects of isoflurane on macrophage efferocytosis and resolution of lung inflammatory injury. Treatment of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) or alveolar macrophages with isoflurane dramatically enhanced phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils. Isoflurane significantly increased the surface expression of the receptor tyrosine kinase Mer in macrophages, but markedly decreased the levels of a soluble form of Mer protein in the medium. Isoflurane treatment also caused a decrease in a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) on the cell surface and a concomitant increase in its cytoplasmic fraction. These responses induced by isoflurane were completely reversed by a pharmacological inhibitor or genetic deletion of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). In a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide-induced lung injury, isoflurane accelerated the recovery of lung inflammation and injury that was coupled with an increase in the number of alveolar macrophages containing apoptotic bodies. In alveolar macrophage-depleted mice, administration of isoflurane-pretreated BMDMs facilitated resolution of lung inflammation following lipopolysaccharide challenge. Thus, isoflurane promoted resolution of lipopolysaccharide-induced lung inflammatory injury via enhancement of macrophage efferocytosis. Increased macrophage efferocytosis following isoflurane treatment correlates with upregulation of Mer surface expression through AMPK-mediated blockade of ADAM17 trafficking to the cell membrane.",

In this report, we use murine models to explore circadian control of either fungal-macrophage interactions in vitro or pathogen clearance from the lung in vivo. First, we show that expression of the important fungal pattern recognition receptor Dectin-1 ( clec7a), from either bone marrow-derived or peritoneum-derived macrophages, is not under circadian regulation at either the level of transcript or cell surface protein expression. Consistent with this finding, the phagocytic activity of macrophages in culture against spores of the pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus also did not vary over time. To account for the multiple cell types and processes that may be coordinated in a circadian fashion in vivo, we examined the clearance of A. fumigatus from the lungs of immunocompetent mice. Interestingly, animals inoculated at night demonstrated a 2-fold enhancement in clearance compared with animals inoculated in the morning. Taken together, our data suggest that while molecular recognition of fungi by immune cells may not be circadian, other processes in vivo may still allow for time-of-day differences in fungal clearance from the lung.",

In vivo, MerTK is stimulated at the time of the phagocytic peak through an intracellular signaling pathway. However, MerTK ligands Gas6 and Protein S are expressed in both RPE cells and photoreceptors, and at least one of them\u00a0required for phagocytosis to occur. Still, their exact role\u00a0in the retina was not clear until recently. This review combines results from different studies to shed the light on a tissue-specific regulation of MerTK function by its ligands.

Recent studies in experimental models of ARDS have revealed the crosstalk between AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), which may contribute to effectiveness of efferocytosis, thereby reducing inflammation and ARDS severity.We investigated neutrophil and NET clearance by macrophages from control and ARDS patients and examined how bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from control and ARDS patients could affect NET formation and efferocytosis. Metformin (an AMPK activator) and neutralising antibody against HMGB1 were applied to improve efferocytosis and NET clearance.Neutrophils from ARDS patients showed significantly reduced apoptosis. Conversely, NET formation was significantly enhanced in ARDS patients. Exposure of neutrophils to ARDS BAL fluid promoted NET production, while control BAL fluid had no effect. Macrophage engulfment of NETs and apoptotic neutrophils was diminished in ARDS patients. Notably, activation of AMPK in macrophages or neutralisation of HMGB1 in BAL fluid improved efferocytosis and NET clearance.In conclusion, restoration of AMPK activity with metformin or specific neutralisation of HMGB1 in BAL fluid represent promising therapeutic strategies to decrease sustained lung inflammation during ARDS.",

To examine the outcome of AD patients with add-on therapy of the omega-3 fatty acid drink Smartfish. We performed a prospective study using Mini-Mental State Examination, amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) phagocytosis blood assay, and RNA-seq of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in 28 neurodegenerative patients who had failed their therapies, including 8 subjective cognitive impairment (SCI), 8 mild cognitive impairment (MCI), 2 AD dementia, 1 frontotemporal dementia (FTD), 2 vascular cognitive impairment, and 3 dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) patients.

In higher order organisms, circadian rhythmicity is a central feature of innate and adaptive immunity. We focus on the role of the molecular clock and circadian rhythmicity specifically in monocytes and macrophages of the innate immune system. These cells display rhythmicity in their internal functions, such as metabolism and inflammatory mediator production as well as their external functions in pathogen sensing, phagocytosis, and migration. These inflammatory mediators are of clinical interest as many are therapeutic targets in inflammatory disease such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis. Moreover, circadian rhythm disruption is closely linked with increased prevalence of these conditions. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms by which circadian disruption affects monocyte/macrophage function will provide insights into novel therapeutic opportunities for these chronic inflammatory diseases.",

Recent evidence suggests that necroptosis promotes plaque necrosis; therefore, we sought to determine how necroptotic cells (NCs) impact resolution programs in plaques. Approach and Results: To investigate the role(s) of necroptosis in advanced atherosclerosis, we used mice deficient of Mlkl, an effector of necroptosis. Mlkl-/- mice that were injected with a gain-of-function mutant PCSK9 (AAV8-gof-PCSK9) and fed a Western diet for 16 weeks, showed significantly less plaque necrosis, increased fibrous caps and improved efferocytosis compared with AAV8-gof-PCSK9 injected wt controls. Additionally, hypercholesterolemic Mlkl-/- mice had a significant increase in proresolving mediators including resolvin D1 (RvD1) and a decrease in prostanoids including thromboxane in plaques and in vitro. We found that exuberant thromboxane released by NCs impaired the clearance of both apoptotic cells and NCs through disruption of oxidative phosphorylation in macrophages. Moreover, we found that NCs did not readily synthesize RvD1 and that exogenous administration of RvD1 to macrophages rescued NC-induced defective efferocytosis. RvD1 also enhanced the uptake of NCs via the activation of p-AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), increased fatty acid oxidation, and enhanced oxidative phosphorylation in macrophages. These results suggest that NCs derange resolution by limiting key SPMs and impairing the efferocytic repertoire of macrophages. Moreover, these findings provide a molecular mechanism for RvD1 in directing proresolving metabolic programs in macrophages and further suggests RvD1 as a potential therapeutic strategy to limit NCs in tissues.

The circadian clock has emerged as a central regulator of macrophage inflammation. Reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions are central to both the circadian clock and macrophage function. Recent Advances: Circadian regulation of metabolism controls the macrophage inflammatory response, whereby disruption of the clock causes dysfunctional inflammation. Altering metabolism and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS) production rescues the inflammatory phenotype of clock-disrupted macrophages. Critical Issues: The circadian clock possesses many layers of regulation. Understanding how redox reactions coordinate clock function is critical to uncover the full extent of circadian regulation of macrophage inflammation. We provide insights into how circadian regulation of redox affects macrophage pattern recognition receptor signaling, immunometabolism, phagocytosis, and inflammasome activation. Future Directions: Many diseases associated with aberrant macrophage-derived inflammation exhibit time-of-day rhythms in disease symptoms and severity and are sensitive to circadian disruption. Macrophage function is highly dependent on redox reactions that signal through RONS.

The circadian clock dominates temporal activity of physiological homeostasis at the molecular level, including endocrine secretion, metabolic, immune response, coupled with extrinsic environmental cues (e.g., light/dark cycles) and behavioral cues (e.g., sleep/wake cycles and feeding/fasting cycles). The other side of the clock is that the misaligned circadian rhythm contributes to the onset of a variety of diseases, such as cancer, metabolic diseases, and cardiovascular diseases, the acceleration of aging, and the development of systemic inflammation. The role played by macrophages is a key mediator between circadian disruption and systemic inflammation. At the molecular level, macrophage functions are under the direct control of the circadian clock, and thus the circadian misalignment remodels the phenotype of macrophages toward a 'killer' mode. Remarkably, the inflammatory macrophages induce systemic and chronic inflammation, leading to the development of inflammatory diseases and the dampened immune defensive machinery against infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Here, we discuss how the circadian clock regulates macrophage immune functions and provide the potential risk of misaligned circadian rhythms against inflammatory and infectious diseases.",

When, clearance is improper, uncleared cells undergo secondary necrosis and trigger inflammation. In addition, proper efferocytosis would be required for inducing resolution of inflammation, thus clearance deficiencies in the long term lead to development of various chronic inflammatory diseases. Increasing evidence indicates that obesity, itself being a low-grade inflammatory disease, predisposes to a variety of other chronic inflammatory diseases. Previous studies indicated that this later might be partially related to an impaired efferocytosis induced by increased uptake of circulating saturated fatty acids by macrophages in obese people. Here, we show that palmitate inhibits efferocytosis by bone marrow-derived macrophages in a dose-dependent manner. Palmitate triggers autophagy but also activates an energy-sensing mTORC1/ROCK1 signaling pathway, which interferes with the autophagosome-lysosome fusion, resulting in accumulation of the cellular membranes in autophagosomes. We propose that lack of sufficient plasma membrane supply attenuates efferocytosis of palmitate-exposed macrophages. AMP-activated protein kinase activators lead to mTORC1 inhibition and, consequently, released the palmitate-induced efferocytosis block in macrophages. Thus, they might be useful in the treatment of obesity not only by affecting metabolism thought so far. ROCK1 inhibitors could also be considered.",

Here, we investigated the impact of age-related changes in the immune system on stroke. Upon experimental stroke, compared with young mice, aged mice had increased neutrophil clogging of the ischemic brain microcirculation, leading to worse no-reflow and outcomes. Aged mice showed an enhanced granulopoietic response to stroke that led to the accumulation of CD101+CD62Llo mature and CD177hiCD101loCD62Llo and CD177loCD101loCD62Lhi immature atypical neutrophils in the blood, endowed with increased oxidative stress, phagocytosis and procoagulant features.

However, the fate and the cellular functionality of neutrophils aged in the absence of macrophages are not well documented. Herein, freshly isolated human neutrophils were aged for several days in vitro and then stimulated with agonists for determining their cell responsiveness. In vitro-aged neutrophils were still able to generate reactive oxygen species after 48\u00a0h, exert phagocytosis after 72\u00a0h, and increase their adhesion onto a cell substratum after 48\u00a0h. These data demonstrate that a portion of neutrophils cultivated for several days in vitro are still able to exert biological functions. This opens the possibility that, during inflammation, neutrophils may still respond to agonists, a condition that is likely to occur in vivo when they are not efficiently eliminated by efferocytosis.",

Given that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a hallmark of sepsis-related alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) dysfunction, we tested if AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) affects recovery from ER stress and apoptosis of AECs during post-bacterial infection. In a murine model of lung injury by P. aeruginosa non-lethal infection, therapeutic interventions included AMPK activator metformin or GSK-3\u03b2 inhibitor Tideglusib for 96\u00a0h. Recovery from AEC injury was evidenced by accumulation of soluble T-1\u03b1 (AEC Type 1 marker) in BAL fluids along with fluorescence analysis of ER-stress (CHOP) and apoptosis (TUNEL) in lung sections. AMPK phosphorylation status and mediators of ER stress were determined via Immunoblot analysis from lung homogenates. Macrophage-dependent clearance of apoptotic cells was determined using flow cytometry assay. P. aeruginosa-induced lung injury resulted in accumulation of neutrophils and cellular debris in the alveolar space along with persistent (96\u00a0h) ER-stress and apoptosis of AECs. While lung infection triggered AMPK inactivation (de-phosphorylation of Thr172-AMPK), metformin and Tideglusib promptly restored the AMPK activation status. In post infected mice, AMPK activation reduced indices of lung injury, ER stress and related apoptosis of AECs, as early as 24\u00a0h post administration of AMPK activators. In addition, we demonstrate that the extent of apoptotic cell accumulation is also dependent on AMPK-mediated clearance of apoptotic cells by macrophages. Our study provides important insights into AMPK function in the preservation of AEC viability after bacterial infection, in particular due reduction of ER-stress and apoptosis, thereby promoting effective recovery from lung injury after pneumonia.",

In this review, we summarize the mechanisms by which B-lymphocytes and neutrophils contribute to the development of osteoporosis and potential therapeutics targeting these immune mediators to reduce the proinflammatory milieu. B-lymphocytes-typically appreciated for their canonical role in adaptive, humoral immunity-have emerged as critical regulators of bone remodeling. B-lymphocytes communicate with osteoclasts and osteoblasts through various cytokines, including IL-7, RANK, and OPG. In inflammatory conditions, B-lymphocytes promote osteoclast activation and differentiation. However, B-lymphocytes also possess immunomodulatory properties, with regulatory B-lymphocytes (Bregs) secreting TGF-\u03b21 to restrain pathogenic osteoclastogenesis. Neutrophils, the body's most prevalent leukocyte, also contribute to the proinflammatory environment that leads to osteoporotic bone remodeling.

However, the effect of MSCs on neutrophils in ALI remains mostly unknown. We investigated the characteristics of neutrophils in lung tissue of ALI mice induced by lipopolysaccharide after treatment with MSCs using single-cell RNA sequencing. Neutrophils separated from lung tissue in ALI were co-cultured with MSCs, and then samples were collected for reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometry. During inflammation, six clusters of neutrophils were identified, annotated as activated, aged, and circulatory neutrophils. Activated neutrophils had higher chemotaxis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase scores than aged neutrophils. Circulatory neutrophils occurred mainly in healthy tissue and were characterized by higher expression of Cxcr2 and Sell. Activated neutrophils tended to exhibit higher expression of Cxcl10 and Cd47, and lower expression of Cd24a, while aged neutrophils expressed a lower level of Cd47 and higher level of Cd24a. MSC treatment shifted activated neutrophils toward an aged neutrophil phenotype by upregulating the expression of CD24, thereby inhibiting inflammation by reducing chemotaxis, ROS production, and NADPH oxidase. We identified the immunosuppressive effects of MSCs on the subtype distribution of neutrophils and provided new insight into the therapeutic mechanism of MSC treatment in ALI.",

Systemic inflammation combined with oxidative stress is thought to capture most of the complexities involved in the pathology of diabetic retinopathy. A high level of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an indicator of abnormal immune system activity. Current estimates of the association of NLR with diabetes and its complications are almost entirely derived from cross-sectional studies, suggesting that the nature of the reported association may be more diagnostic than prognostic. Therefore, in the present study, we examined the utility of NLR as a biomarker to predict the incidence of DR in the Scottish population. The incidence of DR was defined as the time to the first diagnosis of R1 or above grade in the Scottish retinopathy grading scheme from type 2 diabetes diagnosis. The effect of NLR and its interactions were explored using a competing risks survival model adjusting for other risk factors and accounting for deaths. The Fine and Gray subdistribution hazard model (FGR) was used to predict the effect of NLR on the incidence of DR. We analysed data from 23,531 individuals with complete covariate information. At 10\u00a0years, 8416 (35.8%) had developed DR and 2989 (12.7%) were lost to competing events (death) without developing DR and 12,126 individuals did not have DR. The median (interquartile range) level of NLR was 2.04 (1.5 to 2.7). The optimal NLR cut-off value to predict retinopathy incidence was 3.04. After accounting for competing risks at 10\u00a0years, the cumulative incidence of DR and deaths without DR were 50.7% and 21.9%, respectively. NLR was associated with incident DR in both Cause-specific hazard (CSH\u2009=\u20091.63; 95% CI: 1.28-2.07) and FGR models the subdistribution hazard (sHR\u2009=\u20092.24; 95% CI: 1.70-2.94). Both age and HbA1c were found to modulate the association between NLR and the risk of DR. The current study suggests that NLR has a promising potential to predict DR incidence in the Scottish population, especially in individuals less than 65\u00a0years and in those with well-controlled glycaemic status.",

As an essential supportive treatment for patients with respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation not only save many critically ill patients, but also affect glomerular filtration function by changing renal hemodynamics, neurohumoral and positive end-expiratory pressure, eventually leading to AKI. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a crucial energy homeostasis regulator, could enhance macrophage phagocytic ability and inhibit inflammation, but whether it can engulf neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and alleviate mechanical ventilation-associated AKI is still unclear. In this study, we found that geniposide significantly ameliorated histopathological damage, reduced serum Cre and BUN levels. Besides, geniposide can also induce AMPK activation and enhance macrophage phagocytic ability toward NETs. Moreover, geniposide can markedly reduce the levels of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), and these effects were dependent on AMPK-PI3K/Akt signaling. Altogether, these results indicated that geniposide promoted macrophage efferocytosis by inducing AMPK-PI3K/Akt signaling activation, clearing NETs and ameliorating AKI.",

However, the impact of dynamic changes in the local immune microenvironment on age-related liver injury remains poorly understood. We aimed to characterize intrahepatic immune cells at different ages to investigate key mechanisms associated with liver aging. We carried out single-cell RNA sequencing on mouse liver tissues at 4 different ages, namely, the newborn, suckling, young, and aged stages. The transcriptomic landscape, cellular classification, and intercellular communication were analyzed. We confirmed the findings by multiplex immunofluorescence staining, flow cytometry, in vitro functional experiments, and chimeric animal models. Nine subsets of 89,542 immune cells with unique properties were identified, of which Cxcl2+ macrophages within the monocyte/macrophage subset were preferentially enriched in the aged liver. Cxcl2+ macrophages presented a senescence-associated secretory phenotype and recruited neutrophils to the aged liver through the CXCL2-CXCR2 axis. Through the secretion of IL-1\u03b2 and TNF-\u03b1, Cxcl2+ macrophages stimulated neutrophil extracellular traps formation. Targeting the CXCL2-CXCR2 axis limited the neutrophils migration toward the liver and attenuated age-related liver injury. Moreover, the relationship between Cxcl2+ macrophages and neutrophils in age-related liver injury was further validated by human liver transplantation samples.

Additionally, a lifetime exposure to antigens results in structural and functional changes of the lung; yet an understanding of the cell type specific responses remains elusive. To gain insight into age-related changes in lung function and inflammaging, we evaluated 89 mouse and 414 individual human lung genomic data sets with a focus on genes mechanistically linked to extracellular matrix (ECM), cellular senescence, immune response and pulmonary surfactant, and we\u00a0interrogated single cell RNAseq data to fingerprint cell type specific changes. We identified 117 and 68 mouse and human genes linked to ECM remodeling which accounted for 46% and 27%, respectively of all ECM coding genes. Furthermore, we identified 73 and 31 mouse and human genes linked to cellular senescence, and the majority code for the senescence associated secretory phenotype. These cytokines, chemokines and growth factors are primarily secreted by macrophages and fibroblasts. Single-cell RNAseq data confirmed age-related induced expression of marker genes of macrophages, neutrophil, eosinophil, dendritic, NK-, CD4+, CD8+-T and B cells in the lung of aged mice. This included the highly significant regulation of 20 genes coding for the CD3-T-cell receptor complex. Conversely, for the human lung we primarily\u00a0observed macrophage and CD4+ and CD8+ marker genes as changed with age. Additionally, we noted an age-related induced expression of marker genes for mouse basal, ciliated, club and goblet cells, while for the human lung, fibroblasts and myofibroblasts marker genes increased with age. Therefore, we infer a change in cellular activity of these cell types with age. Furthermore, we identified predominantly repressed expression of surfactant coding genes, especially the surfactant transporter Abca3, thus highlighting remodeling of surfactant lipids with implications for the production of inflammatory lipids and immune response. We report the genomic landscape of the aging lung and provide a rationale for its growing stiffness and age-related inflammation. By comparing the mouse and human pulmonary genome, we identified important differences between the two species and highlight the complex interplay of inflammaging, senescence and the\u00a0link to ECM remodeling in healthy but aged individuals.",

Persistent neutrophilic inflammation is a major contributor to cystic fibrosis lung disease. However, how cystic fibrosis transmembrane-conductance regulator loss of function leads to excessive inflammation and its clinical sequela remains incompletely understood. In this study, neutrophils from F508del-CF and healthy control participants were compared for gene transcription. We found that cystic fibrosis circulating neutrophils have a prematurely primed basal state with significantly higher scores for activation, chemotaxis, immune signaling, and pattern recognition. Such an irregular basal state appeared not related to the blood environment and was also observed in neutrophils derived from the F508del-CF HL-60 cell line, indicating an innate characteristic of the phenotype. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) stimulation drastically shifted the transcriptional landscape of healthy control neutrophils toward a robust immune response; however, cystic fibrosis neutrophils were immune-exhausted, reflected by abnormal cell aging and fate determination in gene programming. Moreover, cystic fibrosis sputum neutrophils differed significantly from cystic fibrosis circulating neutrophils in gene transcription with increased inflammatory response, aging, apoptosis, and necrosis, suggesting additional environmental influences on the neutrophils in cystic fibrosis lungs. Taken together, our data indicate that loss of cystic fibrosis transmembrane-conductance regulator function has intrinsic effects on neutrophil immune programming, leading to premature priming and dysregulated response to challenge.",

This might be partly due to age-dependent increases in inflammatory mediators, referred to as inflamm-aging and a decline in immune functions, known as immunosenescence. Still, the impact of dysregulated immune responses on lung infection during aging is poorly understood. Here, we aimed to mimic inflamm-aging using ex vivo precision-cut lung slices (PCLS) and neutrophils - as important effector cells of innate immunity - from young and old mice and investigated the influence of aging on inflammation upon infection with P. aeruginosa bacteria. Murine PCLS were infected with the P. aeruginosa standard lab strain PAO1 and a clinical P. aeruginosa isolate D61. After infection, whole-transcriptome analysis of the tissue as well as cytokine expression in supernatants and tissue lysates were performed. Responses of isolated neutrophils towards the bacteria were investigated by quantifying neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, cytokine secretion, and analyzing expression of surface activation markers using flow cytometry. Inflamm-aging was observed by transcriptome analysis, showing an enrichment of biological processes related to inflammation, innate immune response, and chemotaxis in uninfected PCLS of old compared with young mice. Upon P. aeruginosa infection, the age-dependent pro-inflammatory response was even further promoted as shown by increased production of cytokines and chemokines such as IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, CXCL1, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-17A. In neutrophil cultures, aging did not influence NET formation or cytokine secretion during P. aeruginosa infection. However, expression of receptors associated with inflammatory responses such as complement, adhesion, phagocytosis, and degranulation was lower in neutrophils stimulated with bacteria from old mice as compared to young animals. By using PCLS and neutrophils from young and old mice as immunocompetent ex vivo test systems, we could mimic dysregulated immune responses upon aging on levels of gene expression, cytokine production, and receptor expression. The results furthermore reflect the exacerbation of inflammation upon P. aeruginosa lung infection as a result of inflamm-aging in old age.",

However, its role in hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury (HIRI) remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effect of RSV on alleviating HIRI and explore the underlying mechanisms. RSV was intraperitoneally injected in mice HIRI model, while RSV was co-incubated with culture medium for 24 h in RAW 264.7 cells and kupffer cells. Macrophage efferocytosis was assessed by immunostaining of PI and F4/80. The clearance of apoptotic neutrophils in the liver was determined by immunostaining of Ly6-G and cleaved-caspase-3. HE staining, Suzuki's score, serum levels of ALT, AST, TNF-\u03b1 and IL-1\u03b2 were analyzed to evaluate HIRI. The efferocytosis inhibitor, Cytochalasin D, was utilized to investigate the effect of RSV on HIRI. Western blot was employed to measure the levels of AMPK\u03b1, phospho-AMPK\u03b1, STAT3, phospho-STAT3 and S1PR1. SiSTAT3 and inhibitors targeting AMPK, STAT3 and S1PR1, respectively, were used to confirm the involvement of AMPK/STAT3/S1PR1 pathway in RSV-mediated efferocytosis and HIRI. RSV facilitated the clearance of apoptotic neutrophils and attenuated HIRI, which was impeded by Cytochalasin D. RSV boosted macrophage efferocytosis by up-regulating the levels of phospho-AMPK\u03b1, phospho-STAT3 and S1PR1, which was reversed by AMPK, STAT3 and S1PR1 inhibitors, respectively. Inhibition of STAT3 suppressed RSV-induced clearance of apoptotic neutrophils and exacerbated HIRI. CR mimetic, RSV, alleviates HIRI by promoting macrophages efferocytosis through AMPK/STAT3/S1PR1 pathway, providing valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of CR on attenuating HIRI.",

The pathogenesis of ALD is complex and involves in hepatocyte damage, hepatic inflammation, increased gut permeability and microbiome dysbiosis. FOXO3 is a well-recognized transcription factor which associated with longevity via promoting antioxidant stress response, preventing senescence and cell death, and inhibiting inflammation. We and many others have reported that FOXO3-/- mice develop more severe liver injury in response to alcohol. In the present study, we aimed to develop compounds that activate FOXO3 and further investigate their effects in alcohol induced liver injury. Through virtual screening, we discovered series of small molecular compounds that showed high affinity to FOXO3. We confirmed effects of compounds on FOXO3 target gene expression, as well as antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects in vitro. Subsequently we evaluated the protective efficacy of compounds in alcohol induced liver injury in vivo. As a result, the leading compound we identified, 214991, activated downstream target genes expression of FOXO3, inhibited intracellular ROS accumulation and cell apoptosis induced by H2O2 and sorafenib. By using Lieber-DeCarli alcohol feeding mouse model, 214991 showed protective effects against alcohol-induced liver inflammation, macrophage and neutrophil infiltration, and steatosis. These findings not only reinforce the potential of FOXO3 as a valuable target for therapeutic intervention of ALD, but also suggested that compound 214991 as a promising candidate for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies of ALD.",

Cellular senescence has been associated with chronic inflammation in several diseases. However, the role of cellular senescence in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease remained unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role and the mechanism of cellular senescence in periodontal disease. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we first found the upregulated level of cellular senescence in fibroblasts and endothelial cells from inflamed gingival tissue. Subsequently, human gingival fibroblasts isolated from healthy and inflamed gingival tissues were labeled as H-GFs and I-GFs, respectively. Compared to H-GFs, I-GFs exhibited a distinct cellular senescence phenotype, including an increased proportion of senescence-associated \u03b2-galactosidase (SA-\u03b2-gal) positive cells, enlarged cell morphology, and significant upregulation of p16INK4A expression. We further observed increased cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) activity, mitochondrial ROS, and DNA damage of I-GFs. These phenotypes could be reversed by ROS scavenger NAC, which suggested the cause of cellular senescence in I-GFs. The migration and proliferation assay showed the decreased activity of I-GFs while the gene expression of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors such as IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, TGF-\u03b2, and IL-8 was all significantly increased. Finally, we found that supernatants of I-GF culture induced more neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation and drove macrophage polarization toward the CD86-positive M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype. Altogether, our findings implicate that, in the inflamed gingiva, human gingival fibroblasts acquire a senescent phenotype due to oxidative stress-induced DNA and mitochondrial damage, which in turn activate neutrophils and macrophages through the secretion of SASP factors.",

As a result, macrophages have a dual role: clearing the parasite as well as acting as host cells. Recently, studies have shown that macrophages harbour circadian clocks, which affect many of their functions such as phagocytosis, receptor expression and cytokine release. Interestingly, Leishmania major infection in hosts was also shown to be under circadian control. Therefore, we decided to investigate what underlies the rhythms of L. major infection within macrophages. Using a culture model of infection of bone marrow-derived macrophages with L. major promastigotes, we show that the parasites are internalised into macrophages with a 24-h variation dependent on a functional circadian clock in the cells. This was associated with a variation in the number of parasites per macrophage. The cell surface expression of parasite receptors was not controlled by the cells' circadian clock. In contrast, the expression of the components of the endocytic pathway, EEA1 and LC3b, varied according to the time of infection. This was paralleled by variations in parasite-induced ROS production as well as cytokine tumour necrosis factor \u03b1. In summary, we have uncovered a time-dependent regulation of the internalisation of L. major promastigotes in macrophages, controlled by the circadian clock in these cells, as well as subsequent cellular events in the endocytic pathway, intracellular signalling and cytokine production.",

We monitored the protein expression pattern of the molecular circadian clock in human peripheral blood monocytes from healthy, allergic, and asthmatic donors during a whole day. Monocytes cultured of these donors allowed us to examine circadian protein expression in human monocyte-derived macrophages, M1- and M2- polarized macrophages. In monocytes, particularly from allergic asthmatics, the oscillating expression of circadian proteins CLOCK, BMAL, REV ERBs, and RORs was significantly altered. Similar changes in BMAL1 were observed in polarized macrophages from allergic donors and in tissue-resident macrophages from activated precision cut lung slices. We confirmed clock modulating, anti-inflammatory, and lung-protective properties of the inverse ROR agonist SR1001 by reduced secretion of macrophage inflammatory protein and increase in phagocytosis. Using a house dust mite model, we verified the therapeutic effect of SR1001 in vivo. Overall, our data suggest an interaction between the molecular circadian clock and monocytes/macrophages effector function in inflammatory lung diseases. The use of SR1001 leads to inflammatory resolution in vitro and in vivo and represents a promising clock-based therapeutic approach for chronic pulmonary diseases such as asthma.",

In patients with chronic liver failure, bone marrow (BM) reserve is severally compromised and they showed marked defects in the resolution of injury and infection, leading to liver failure and the onset of decompensation. Whether BM failure is the cause or consequence of liver failure during cirrhosis is not known. In this study, we aimed to determine the underlying relationship between BM failure and regeneration failure in cirrhosis. C57Bl/6(J) mice were used to develop chronic liver injury through intra-peritoneal administration of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) for 15 weeks (0.1-0.5 ml/kg). Animals were sacrificed to study the transition of cirrhosis and BM defects. To restore the BM-SC reserve; healthy BM cells were infused via intra-BM infusion and assessed for changes in liver injury, regeneration, and BM-SC reserve. Using a CCl4-induced animal - model of cirrhosis, we showed the loss of BM-SCs reserve occurred before regeneration failure and the onset of non-acute decompensation. Intra-BM infusion of healthy BM cells induced the repopulation of native hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in cirrhotic BM. Restoring BM-HSCs reserve augments liver macrophage-mediated clearance of infection and inflammation dampens neutrophil-mediated inflammation, accelerates fibrosis regression, enhances hepatocyte proliferation, and delays the onset of non-acute decompensation. These findings suggest that loss of BM-HSCs reserve underlies the compromised innate immune function of the liver, drives regeneration failure, and the onset of non-acute decompensation. We further provide the proof-of-concept that rejuvenating BM-HSC reserve can serve as a potential therapeutic approach for preventing regeneration failure and transition to decompensated cirrhosis.",

Targeting efferocytosis is a potential manner to repolarize M1 macrophages into pro-resolving M2 phenotype, which restores immune homeostasis by releasing anti-inflammatory mediators. In this study, liquid nitrogen-treated dead macrophages (DM) are employed to act as a dead cell-derived active targeted drug carrier for shikonin (SHK) and induce efferocytosis in M1 macrophages with the enhancement of SHK as an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-activator. The synergistic activation of AMPK leads to uncoupled protein 2 (UCP2) upregulation and reprograms M1 macrophages into M2 phenotypes by promoting oxidative phosphorylation. In the mouse model of collagen-induced arthritis, the intravenous administration of DM/SHK leads to a consistent transformation of M1 macrophages into the M2 phenotype within the infiltrative synovium. This transformation of macrophages results in the restoration of immune homeostasis in the synovium through an increase in the production of pro-resolving mediators. Additionally, it inhibits synovial proliferation and infiltration and provides protection against erosion of cartilage and bone. In summary, LNT-based DM serves as an active targeting drug carrier to M1 macrophages and also acts synergistically with SHK to target immunometabolism.",

The accumulation of apoptotic cells and neuroinflammation play crucial roles in the pathological mechanisms of NPP. Here, we aim to investigate strategies for effectively clearing apoptotic cells and provide therapeutic interventions for NPP. CCI mice were treated with different concentrations of ozone (15\u03bcg, 30\u03bcg, 45\u03bcg) to investigate the effects on the accumulation of apoptotic cells and neuroinflammation. In vitro, the phagocytic function of BMDM towards apoptotic neutrophils after ozone treatment was examined. We found ozone at a concentration of 30\u03bcg significantly alleviated mechanical hypersensitivity in CCI mice and ozone significantly upregulates the phagocytic activity of BMDM. Furthermore, we investigated the mechanisms and found ozone could activate AMPK, upregulate Gas6 (but not Protein S), activate MerTK (a key receptor involved in apoptosis), and enhance the phagocytic function of BMDM towards apoptotic neutrophils. It caused the promotion of SOCS3 expression and the suppression of inflammatory factors IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, and TNF-a. Interestingly, the effect of ozone in alleviating CCI-induced pain was abolished by the AMPK inhibitor CC and the MerTK receptor inhibitor UNC2541. Ozone facilitated macrophage clearance of apoptotic cells, decreased neuroinflammation by activation of p-AMPK/Gas6/MerTK/SOCS3 signaling pathway, which may become an effective therapeutic approach for neuropathic pain after further clinical validation.",
        "39744689": "ID: 39744689\nTitle: Targeting macrophage circadian rhythms with microcurrent stimulation to activate cancer immunity through phagocytic defense.\nAbstract: Rationale: Macrophage phagocytosis plays a role in cancer immunotherapy. The phagocytic activity of macrophages, regulated by circadian clock genes, shows time-dependent variation. Intervening in the circadian clock machinery of macrophages is a potentially novel approach to cancer immunotherapy; however, data on this approach are scarce. Microcurrent stimulation (MCS) promotes inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, suggesting its potential to modulate macrophage function; however, its application has been limited. In this study, we investigated the impact of MCS on macrophage phagocytosis of cancer cells using mouse/human macrophage cell lines and various mouse/human cancer cell lines. Methods: Cells and mice received 300 \u00b5A, 400 Hz bidirectional pulsed MCS. Gene expression, protein expression, and phagocytosis activity were assessed in intraperitoneal macrophages collected from mice, as well as in RAW264.7, and THP-1 cells. Flow cytometry, population, phagocytosis activity, RNA-seq, and immunohistochemistry analyses were performed. Results: Noninvasive MCS prevented time-dependent reduction in macrophage phagocytosis of cancer cells by modulating the circadian clock genes. MCS also enhanced phagocytosis in mouse RAW264.7 and human THP-1 cells across various cancer types by promoting actin polymerization; similar in vivo effects were observed in mice. This enhancement occurred in abdominal macrophages of both sexes and was mediated by changes in clock gene expression. Specifically, suppressing the clock gene Per1 nullified the effects of MCS. Moreover, although macrophage phagocytosis typically declined during the dark period, MCS during the light period prevented this reduction. MCS also increased phagocytosis of peritoneally implanted cancer cells (4T1, ID8, and Hepa1-6) in mice, significantly reducing tumor engraftment and growth, and ultimately improving prognosis. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that targeting macrophage circadian mechanisms via MCS could enhance cancer immunity, offering new avenues for cancer immunotherapy.",

While this process is generally characterized by irreversible cell cycle arrest, its morphological features and functional impacts vary in different cells from various organs. In this study, we examined the expression of multiple senescent markers in the lungs of young and aged humans and mice, as well as in mouse lung endothelial cells cultured with a senescence inducer, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), or doxorubicin (DOXO). We detected increased levels of p21, \u03b3H2AX, and SA-\u03b2-Gal and decreased Ki-67 and Lamin B1 in aged lungs and senescent lung endothelial cells. Importantly, the expression of senescent markers was associated with an inflammatory response in aged mouse lungs characterized by neutrophil infiltration, increased expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), and decreased protein levels of VE-cadherin and ZO-1. As the latter two are critical constituents of endothelial cell-cell junctions, we hypothesized that their decreased expression could lead to compromised junction barrier integrity. Indeed, senescent endothelial cells (ECs) exhibited impaired barrier properties, as measured by increased permeability to solutes of small size (3-kD) and albumin (70-kD). When co-cultured with neutrophils, senescent ECs and their supernatant promoted neutrophil chemotaxis and trans-endothelial migration. Taken together, our results suggest that lung EC senescence weakens cell-cell junctions, impairs barrier function, and promotes neutrophil adhesion and migration, which may contribute to the development of inflammation and related pathologies in the lungs during aging.",

People over 65 show an increased prevalence and greater severity of periodontitis, which poses threats to overall health. Studies have demonstrated a significant association between aging and the dysfunction of neutrophils, critical cells in the early stages of periodontitis, and their crosstalk with macrophages and T and B lymphocytes to establish the periodontal lesion. Neutrophils differentiate and mature in the bone marrow before entering the circulation; during an infection, they are recruited to infected tissues guided by the signal from chemokines and cytokines to eliminate invading pathogens. Neutrophils are crucial in maintaining a balanced response between host and microbes to prevent periodontal diseases in periodontal tissues. The impacts of aging on neutrophils' chemotaxis, anti-microbial function, cell activation, and lifespan result in impaired neutrophil functions and excessive neutrophil activation, which could influence periodontitis course. We summarize the roles of neutrophils in periodontal diseases and the aging-related impacts on neutrophil functional responses. We also explore the underlying mechanisms that can contribute to periodontitis manifestation in aging. This review could help us better understand the pathogenesis of periodontitis, which could offer novel therapeutic targets for periodontitis.",

Recent studies indicate that microglia not only exhibit intrinsic circadian rhythms but are also regulated by circadian clock genes, influencing specific functions such as phagocytosis and the modulation of neuroinflammation. Disruption of the circadian rhythm is closely associated with AD pathology. In this review, we will provide an overview of how circadian rhythms regulate microglia-mediated neuroinflammation in the progression of AD, focusing on the pathway from the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral immune system. We also discuss potential therapeutic targets, including hormone modulation, lifestyle interventions, and anti-inflammatory therapies, aimed at maintaining brain health in AD. This will shed light on the involvement of circadian rhythm in AD and explore new avenues for AD treatment.",

Researchers have identified a correlation between aging and immunosenescence, leading to dysfunction of the immune system. As a crucial component of the innate immune system, age-related changes in neutrophils have garnered significant attention from researchers, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the senescence status and potential mechanisms of neutrophils, and to identify targets for delaying or even reversing senescence. Methods: Blood routine tests and Luminex Multiplex Cytokine Analysis were employed to assess inflammation levels in mice. Flow cytometry and an agarose chemotaxis model were used to evaluate baseline biological functions and stress responses of neutrophils. Transmission electron microscopy and flow cytometry were utilized to compare mitochondrial ultrastructure and function. Metabolomic analysis was performed to examine metabolic patterns. qPCR, Western blotting, and flow cytometry were used to investigate the potential mechanisms of ceramide intervention on neutrophils. Results: Our findings indicate that aged mice exhibit considerable variability in delayed apoptosis among bone marrow neutrophils, alongside a notable reduction in baseline functionality and stress response capabilities. Metabolomic analysis revealed a marked decrease in ceramide levels within aged neutrophils. In vitro ceramide intervention revitalized neutrophil functionality and partially inhibited delayed apoptosis, facilitating the efficient elimination of senescent neutrophils. The underlying mechanism behind these effects might be attributed to ceramide's modulation of mitochondrial permeability, which in turn influences the activation of the cGAS-STING pathway, as well as its regulatory role in maintaining the equilibrium of pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein levels. Conclusions: This investigation proficiently assessed neutrophil senescence in terms of both biological functionalities and intrinsic diversity, while concurrently exploring the feasibility and primary mechanisms through which ceramide intervention impacts neutrophil senescence at the levels of signaling pathways, protein expression, and cellular microarchitecture. These findings provide novel insights into evaluating and potentially intervening in immune senescence, with implications for organismal aging.",

However, there is no safe and effective treatment for testicular I/R injury. The levels of NAD+ related genes were measured in the sham group, I/R\u00a0+\u00a0saline-treated group, and I/R\u00a0+\u00a0NMN-treated group by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). Testicular NAD+, Malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were evaluated. The markers of testicular function, including sperm quality, testosterone secretion, and the number of germ cells, were compared between groups. The reactive oxygen species (ROS), apoptosis, and immune cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression of inflammatory genes, germ cell markers, and the phosphorylation of p65 and STAT3 were assessed by qRT-PCR, immunofluorescence, and western blot, respectively. In this study, we analyzed the therapeutic potentials of NMN supplementation in testicular injury induced by torsion-detorsion in mice. NMN supplementation could increase testicular NAD+ content, increase serum testosterone levels, prevent Leydig cell and germ cell injury, and improve sperm quantity. Mechanistically, NMN supplementation relieved the sharply hostile immune microenvironment. Specifically, NMN supplementation could mitigate the oxidative stress and cell apoptosis in the I/R injured testes, downregulate the protein expression of p-p65 and p-STAT3 in inflammatory pathways, limit the excessive activation of inflammatory responses in testicular tissues, and reshape the inflammatory properties of macrophages and neutrophils. The beneficial effects of NMN supplementation indicated that boosting NAD+ may be a promising and safe strategy to improve clinical outcomes in I/R-induced testicular damage.",
        "40091836": "ID: 40091836\nTitle: Adding insult to injury: the spectrum of tubulointerstitial responses in acute kidney injury.\nAbstract: Acute kidney injury (AKI) encompasses pathophysiology ranging from glomerular hypofiltration to tubular cell injury and outflow obstruction. This Review will focus on the tubulointerstitial processes that underlie most cases of AKI. Tubular epithelial cell (TEC) injury can occur via distinct insults, including ischemia, nephrotoxins, sepsis, and primary immune-mediated processes. Following these initial insults, tubular cells can activate survival and repair responses or they can develop mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic reprogramming, cell-cycle arrest, and programmed cell death. Developing evidence suggests that the fate of individual tubular cells to survive and proliferate or undergo cell death or senescence is frequently determined by a biphasic immune response with initial proinflammatory macrophage, neutrophil, and lymphocyte infiltration exacerbating injury and activating programmed cell death, while alternatively activated macrophages and specific lymphocyte subsets subsequently modulate inflammation and promote repair. Functional recovery requires that this reparative phase supports proteolytic degradation of tubular casts, proliferation of surviving TECs, and restoration of TEC differentiation. Incomplete resolution or persistence of inflammation can lead to failed tubular repair, fibrosis, and chronic kidney disease. Despite extensive research in animal models, translating preclinical findings to therapies remains challenging, emphasizing the need for integrated multiomic approaches to advance AKI understanding and treatment.",
        "40445608": "ID: 40445608\nTitle: PMN recruitment in inflammatory lung injury models follows classical transendothelial migration paradigms requiring PECAM-1 and CD99.\nAbstract: Immune cells are recruited to sites of inflammation in a stepwise process involving a symphony of signals and receptors. In the systemic circulation, the step at which immune cells migrate out of the blood and across the endothelium, transendothelial migration, occurs via homophilic interactions between leukocyte PECAM-1 and CD99 and endothelial cell PECAM-1 and CD99. Previous work showed that rolling and adhesion of immune cells in the lung vasculature does not follow the classical paradigm of inflammatory recruitment; however, the transmigration step of this process has largely gone understudied. In this study, we demonstrate that polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) use PECAM-1 and CD99 when transmigrating in response to murine chemical, bacterial, and ischemia/reperfusion lung injury (IRI). We demonstrate that recruitment of PMNs in response to both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria is PECAM-1- and CD99-dependent. We implemented a method of intravital microscopy (IVM) of the pulmonary vasculature after IRI, with which we directly visualized and quantified transmigration. We demonstrate, in real time, that PMN enter the alveoli by crossing alveolar capillaries. Because PMNs are known to be independent mediators of both tissue damage and resolution of inflammation, we tested these effective blocking antibodies for survival effects in models of 50-60% mortality, but found none. In summary, our study shows that the classical transmigration protein interactions are necessary for the transmigration of PMNs into the airspace during response to four distinct inflammatory stimuli.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Previous studies have shown that neutrophil extravasation in the lung was selectin-independent and the requirement for leukocyte integrins was stimulus-dependent. This study demonstrates that PECAM-1 and CD99 are required for PMN transmigration during chemical, bacterial, and ischemia/reperfusion lung inflammation. We show directly in real time, using intravital microscopy, that neutrophils extravasate from alveolar capillaries. Blocking antibodies against PECAM-1 or CD99 prevented transmigration into the lung airspace, just as they prevent transmigration in the systemic circulation.",

Hydrogen sulfide (H\u2082S), produced by cystathionine \u03b3-lyase (CSE), has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but its role in AAA remains unclear. We evaluated the impact of sodium thiosulfate (STS), a clinically relevant H\u2082S donor, in a periadventitial elastase-induced AAA model in normotensive male wild-type and Cse-/- mice. Complementary in vitro studies were conducted on primary human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to assess the effects of STS on proliferation, senescence and cytokine-induced apoptosis. Contrary to expectations, STS dose-dependently aggravate AAA progression by increasing extracellular matrix degradation. Although STS reduces macrophage and lymphocyte infiltration, it enhances neutrophil accumulation, particularly MMP9\u207a neutrophils, and promotes the formation of c-KIT\u207a-MPO\u207a pre-neutrophil clusters. Cse-/- mice show reduced neutrophil infiltration and smaller aneurysms, supporting a pathogenic role of endogenous H\u2082S. STS also impairs VSMC proliferation and induces senescence, blunting compensatory aortic remodeling. H\u2082S, delivered via STS, exacerbates AAA progression under normotensive conditions by promoting neutrophil-driven inflammation and impairing VSMC repair. These findings challenge the assumption that H\u2082S is universally protective in vascular disease and raise caution regarding the therapeutic use of STS in patients at risk for AAA. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening condition where a major blood vessel in the abdomen, called the aorta, becomes weak and bulges. There are currently no medications that can slow down AAA growth, and rupture carries a high risk of death. Hydrogen sulfide (H\u2082S) is a gas naturally produced in the body, that has shown to protect against cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated whether sodium thiosulfate (STS), a H\u2082S-releasing compound, could reduce AAA progression in mice. Unexpectedly, STS worsened AAA. Our findings highlight the need for caution when considering STS as a treatment for patients at risk of AAA.",
        "40787692": "ID: 40787692\nTitle: 27-Hydroxycholesterol Exacerbates the Pathogenesis of Asthma.\nAbstract: 27-Hydroxycholesterol (27-HC) is an oxidative metabolite of cholesterol and an oxysterol catalysed by the mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzyme, sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1). In addition to inducing the release of eosinophil chemotactic factors such as RANTES and Eotaxin, 27-HC enhances the differentiation of lung fibroblasts into myofibroblasts and promotes the production of extracellular matrix proteins. Therefore, it is possible that 27-HC may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of asthma. In this study, we observed elevated expression of CYP27A1 and increased production of 27-HC in the lung tissues of asthmatic mice, with alveolar macrophages (AMs) identified as the primary source of 27-HC. 27-HC induced an increase in total cell count and eosinophil number in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of asthmatic mice, exacerbated inflammatory cell infiltration into lung tissues, and heightened airway hyper-responsiveness, thereby aggravating asthma. The alarmin, IL-33, within airways induced 27-HC production by AMs via the NF-\u03baB signalling pathway. Furthermore, 27-HC was shown to inhibit the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells (efferocytosis) by airway epithelial cells (AECs) through AMPK activation. Thus, in asthmatic mice, 27-HC, predominantly derived from AMs, influences the efferocytotic function of AECs, demonstrating that cross-talk between macrophages and epithelial cells regulates asthma pathogenesis. This study provides valuable insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying asthma and offers theoretical and experimental data for identifying novel therapeutic targets for clinical asthma management.",

Here we show that distinct subsets of macrophages can acquire alternatively activated phenotypes in response to tissue injury where these cellular subsets display contrasting spatiotemporal dynamics and differentially contribute to the resolution of inflammation and tissue repair. By studying a model of cardiotoxin-induced muscle injury, we identify a population of monocyte-derived AAM characterized by expression of arginase-1 (Arg-1) and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (Trem2) that emerged in response to injury and fostered clearance of dying neutrophils and necrotic myofibers as well as the subsequent resolution of inflammation. A second population of AAM, which were marked by robust expression of resistin-like molecule alpha (Relm\u03b1) and mannose receptor C-type 1 (CD206), displayed a predominantly resident character and clustered around capillaries where they coordinated the recruitment of eosinophils as well as the subsequent process of tissue repair. Our data thus indicate a substantial heterogeneity among AAM subsets and help to define their specialized functions and roles during inflammation and tissue repair.",

Here, we report that tumor-infiltrating dendritic cell (DC)-specific expression of the deoxyribonuclease, DNASE1L3, is positively correlated with favorable outcomes of anti-PD-(L)1 treatment in cancer patients. DNASE1L3 conditional knockout in DCs leads to enhanced tumor growth and diminishes anti-PD-L1 therapeutic efficacy by impairing infiltration and effector functions of CD8+ T cells. Conversely, injection with DNASE1L3 promotes CD8+ T cell infiltration and reduces exhaustion in the TME, significantly retarding tumor growth and enhancing anti-PD-L1 response. DNASE1L3+ DCs can degrade neutrophil extracellular traps that suppress the spatial distribution of CD8+ T cells in tumors, enabling establishment of cytotoxic CD8+ T cell hubs in human cancers. Our findings reveal a role of DC in regulating intratumoral CD8+ T cells and identify DNASE1L3 as a promising target to improve anti-PD-(L)1 therapy.",
        "40864296": "ID: 40864296\nTitle: Impact of exercise on immune cell infiltration in muscle tissue: implications for muscle repair and chronic disease.\nAbstract: Exercise has long been recognized for its systemic health benefits, including modulation of the immune system. Contemporary scientific inquiry has increasingly turned toward understanding the regulatory effects of exercise on immune cell dynamics within muscle tissue, highlighting their potential role in facilitating tissue repair and modulating chronic disease pathways. Following acute bouts of exercise, especially those involving eccentric or high-intensity contractions, muscle fibers experience micro-damage that triggers a well-orchestrated immune response. This phenomenon entails a coordinated, time-sensitive accumulation of immune effector cells-namely neutrophils, macrophages, and T lymphocytes-within compromised muscle tissue. Through the release of immunoregulatory and regenerative mediators like cytokines and growth factors, these cells actively participate in coordinating tissue repair by eliminating cellular debris and resolving inflammation.Macrophage polarization from a pro-inflammatory (M1) to an anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype is particularly crucial in coordinating effective muscle repair and preventing fibrosis. However, dysregulation of this immune response, such as persistent inflammation or impaired immune cell transition, can hinder regeneration and contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic conditions like sarcopenia, insulin resistance, and muscular dystrophies. Moreover, in chronic disease states, immune cell infiltration into muscle may become maladaptive, exacerbating tissue damage and metabolic dysfunction.Regular moderate-intensity exercise appears to modulate this immune infiltration in a way that enhances repair mechanisms while reducing chronic inflammation, highlighting a potential therapeutic avenue for managing muscle-related pathologies. In-depth insight into the molecular and cellular crosstalk between physical activity and immune cell regulation in muscle tissue forms the basis for crafting specialized therapeutic strategies aimed at facilitating muscle regeneration and limiting the development of chronic pathological conditions. Through a detailed evaluation of exercise-elicited immune dynamics, this review underscores the dichotomous functions of immune cell infiltration in supporting muscle regeneration and in contributing to strategies for chronic disease prevention and management.",

Insulin resistance and chronic inflammation are established hallmarks linked to the aging process; however, their synergistic relationship with biological age acceleration is not yet well understood. To evaluate the independent and synergistic associations of estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), a marker of insulin sensitivity, and neutrophil-to-albumin ratio (NPAR), a reliable marker of systemic inflammation that also captures its impact on metabolic processes, with biological age acceleration estimated by Klemera-Doubal method biological age (KDM-BA) and PhenoAge. We analyzed cross-sectional data from 35,169 U.S. adults aged \u226520\u00a0years in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2010 and 2015-2018. Biological age acceleration was defined as BA exceeding chronological age. Multivariable regression and restricted cubic spline models were used to assess linear and nonlinear associations. We examined the combined association of eGDR and NPAR with aging markers, adjusting for a comprehensive set of demographic, lifestyle, and comorbidity covariates. In fully adjusted models, eGDR was robustly and inversely associated with KDM-BA acceleration (OR per 1-unit increase: 0.69, 95\u00a0% CI: 0.67-0.72). Compared to the lowest tertile, participants in the highest eGDR tertile had a 83\u00a0% lower odds of KDM-BA acceleration (OR\u00a0=\u00a00.17, 95\u00a0% CI: 0.14-0.20). No significant association was observed between eGDR and PhenoAge acceleration. Conversely, higher NPAR was positively associated with acceleration of both KDM-BA (OR per unit increase 1.12, 95\u00a0% CI: 1.10-1.14) and PhenoAge (OR per unit increase 1.27, 95\u00a0% CI: 1.24-1.30). Participants in the highest NPAR tertile exhibited significantly increased odds of accelerated aging compared to the lowest tertile (KDM-BA acceleration OR\u00a0=\u00a01.90, 95\u00a0% CI: 1.53-2.36; PhenoAge acceleration OR\u00a0=\u00a03.39, 95\u00a0% CI: 2.91-3.95). Both biomarkers showed significant nonlinear dose-response relationships with aging outcomes. Notably, combined exposure to low eGDR and high NPAR conferred the greatest risk of accelerated aging, with OR of 5.46 (95\u00a0% CI: 4.60-6.48) for KDM-BA and 2.98 (95\u00a0% CI: 2.46-3.62) for PhenoAge. Subgroup analyses revealed significant heterogeneity, with associations varying by BMI and chronic kidney disease status. Reduced insulin sensitivity and heightened inflammation-nutrition imbalance are independently and synergistically associated with accelerated biological aging. The interplay between eGDR and NPAR, particularly their joint effect, highlights the pivotal role of the metabolic-inflammatory axis in the aging process. These findings suggest that combined monitoring of eGDR and NPAR could be a valuable strategy for early risk stratification and the development of personalized anti-aging interventions.",

However, little is known about the key regulators in the tissue microenvironment that mediate tissue damage and repair. In this study, we discovered that AXL and MERTK in macrophages are responsible for tissue repair and pancreatic inflammation following SAP. Targeted deletion of Axl and Mertk in myeloid cells resulted in impaired phenotypic switch towards pro-resolving macrophage. This impairment is partly due to an accumulation of Cxcr2+ neutrophils and its interaction with Mrc1+/high macrophages likely via CCL4-CCR5 axis. Pancreatic tissue repair was effectively restored by CCR5 inhibition. Collectively, we identify a CCR5-dependent pathway orchestrated by AXL and MERTK in macrophages, which offers a pharmacological target, to promote tissue repair in SAP.",
        "40909291": "ID: 40909291\nTitle: Oxidative stress, DAMPs, and immune cells in acute pancreatitis: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic prospects.\nAbstract: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a gastrointestinal disease characterized by inflammation of the pancreas and is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis of AP involves a complex interplay of cellular and molecular mechanisms, including oxidative stress, damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and the infiltration of various immune cells. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the molecular mechanisms underlying AP, the role of different immune cells in its progression and potential therapeutic perspectives. Oxidative stress, characterized by an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the antioxidant defense system, plays a crucial role in AP. ROS not only contribute to cell necrosis and apoptosis, but also activate immune cells and perpetuate inflammation. DAMPs released from damaged cells activate the innate immune response by interacting with pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), leading to the recruitment of immune cells such as neutrophils, macrophages and dendritic cells. These immune cells further amplify the inflammatory response by releasing cytokines and chemokines. Neutrophils are among the first responders in AP, contributing to both tissue damage and repair, as well as the double-site sword effect of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Other immune cells, including T cells, dendritic cells, mast cells and monocytes/macrophages, are involved in modulating the inflammatory response and tissue repair processes. The balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory immune responses is critical in determining the severity and outcome of AP. A table of targeted drugs or substances available in clinical trials is provided at the end of this paper, with the aim of providing available opportunities for clinical treatment. Nevertheless, precise targeted drugs are still urgently needed in clinical treatment, where more in-depth research is needed.",

Herein, we investigated how sodium butyrate exerts dual, dose-dependent regulation of innate immunity using the zebrafish model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation. Our results demonstrated that at low concentrations (3\u00a0mM), sodium butyrate suppressed LPS-driven pro-inflammatory mediators (il1\u03b2, cebp\u03b2, irg1l) while restoring anti-inflammatory and tissue-repair genes (lyz, il8, elf3). Conversely, high doses (30\u00a0mM) amplified inflammatory pathways, highlighting a critical therapeutic balance. Sodium butyrate further attenuated immune cell recruitment, reducing macrophage and neutrophil migration to injury sites by 40-60\u00a0% at 3\u00a0mM and more robustly at 20\u00a0mM. In addition, sodium butyrate modulated chemokine dynamics, e.g., ccl20a.3 suppression, and enhanced genes critical for tissue repair, e.g., anxa2a, s100a10b, and NF-\u03baB signaling. These findings indicate sodium butyrate's dual role as both an anti-inflammatory agent and a potential pro-inflammatory trigger, contingent on concentration. These findings provide seminal information on the sodium butyrate-modulated innate immune response, which will help further explore the molecular role of this chemical. The study also highlights the necessity of precise dosing to harness its therapeutic benefits while avoiding adverse immune activation, offering critical insights for treating inflammatory diseases.",

Although macrophages are pivotal for MD clearance, the impact of excessive MD phagocytosis on macrophage phenotype and function remains poorly understood. Building upon our prior evidence that exendin-4 (Ex-4), a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist, mitigates microglia-driven neuroinflammation post-SCI, this study elucidates the therapeutic efficacy and underlying mechanisms of Ex-4 in alleviating macrophage senescence, restoring efferocytotic capacity, and facilitating neural repair. Employing a T10 contusive SCI model in male C57BL/6 mice, in vivo administration of Ex-4 was combined with macrophage-specific knockdown of growth arrest-specific 6 (Gas6) via AAV-shRNA. Complementary in vitro assays involved bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) challenged with MD in the presence or absence of Ex-4 or AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) inhibition. Cellular senescence and efferocytosis were comprehensively assessed through live-cell imaging, immunofluorescence, senescence-associated \u03b2-galactosidase staining, quantitative PCR, and western blotting. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations elucidated GLP-1R-AMPK interactions, corroborated by in vivo validation. Results demonstrate that MD-engulfing macrophages exhibit foam cell-like morphology and upregulated senescence markers, including increased \u03b2-galactosidase activity and senescence-associated secretory phenotype, concomitant with diminished efferocytosis via downregulation of the Axl receptor. Senescent macrophages were shown to exacerbate neuronal apoptosis and astrocytic scar formation in co-culture systems. Ex-4 treatment significantly attenuated macrophage senescence, restored efferocytotic function, and reduced neuronal injury and astrocyte activation, effects contingent upon AMPK/Gas6/Axl pathway activation and abrogated by Gas6 knockdown. In vivo, Ex-4 administration enhanced remyelination, axonal regeneration, and functional recovery, while attenuating glial scar formation following SCI. Collectively, these findings identify macrophage senescence induced by excessive MD phagocytosis as a novel pathological contributor to SCI progression and establish Ex-4 as a promising therapeutic agent that restores macrophage homeostasis and promotes neural repair via GLP-1R/AMPK/Gas6/Axl signaling.",

The neutrophil-to-HDL cholesterol ratio (NHR), an emerging immunometabolic biomarker, reflects systemic inflammation and vascular dysfunction. However, its role in predicting cognitive impairment in older adults remains unclear. This study examined the association between NHR and cognitive impairment, explored non-linear patterns, and compared its predictive performance with conventional biomarkers. A total of 2,355 adults aged\u00a0\u2265\u00a060\u00a0years underwent cognitive assessment using standardized neuropsychological tests. Logistic regression evaluated the association between NHR and cognitive impairment, adjusting for demographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) assessed non-linear relationships. Predictive performance was compared using ROC analysis, and machine-learning models were applied to enhance predictive modeling. Higher NHR was significantly associated with cognitive impairment (adjusted OR = 1.14, 95\u00a0% CI: 1.01-1.24, P = 0.031). RCS analysis revealed a non-linear relationship (Pnon-linearity\u00a0=\u00a00.047), with a threshold effect at NHR = 2.517. The association was stable across subgroups. NHR outperformed traditional biomarkers (AUC = 0.602), and logistic regression achieved the highest accuracy (82.9\u00a0%) and F1-score (89.7\u00a0%). NHR serves as a potential immunometabolic biomarker for cognitive impairment in older adults, capturing chronic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction linked to brain aging. The observed non-linear pattern suggests a threshold effect, highlighting the importance of early immunometabolic monitoring. These findings support incorporating immunometabolic markers into psychoneuroimmunology-informed risk assessments for cognitive decline.",

ROS plays a pivotal role in modulating neutrophil functions, including phagocytosis, migration, release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), activation of proinflammatory signaling pathways, and apoptosis. Selenium is an essential micronutrient antioxidant that exhibits biological functions through its translational incorporation as the 21st amino acid selenocysteine. With their diverse enzymatic activities, selenium and selenoproteins partake in the modulation of immune cell activities through regulating multiple cellular functions, including redox balance and antioxidant defense. Given the critical role of ROS in neutrophil function, selenium and selenoproteins are likely to modulate neutrophil activities through regulating both redox-dependent and -independent signaling pathways.

Plasma from IBM (n\u2009=\u200946), DM (n\u2009=\u200940) and healthy controls (n\u2009=\u200940) was analysed for fMET, calprotectin, neutrophil elastase DNA (NE-DNA) and cytokines using ELISA. Neutrophil markers CD11b and CD66b were assessed by flow cytometry following plasma stimulation with or without FPR1 inhibition. Correlation analyses were performed between fMET, muscle strength (MMT8) and neutrophil activation markers. DM and IBM patients had significantly higher plasma fMET levels than controls (P\u2009<\u20090.0001 for DM; P\u2009=\u20090.0002 for IBM). Median fMET levels were 13\u2009719\u2009pg/ml (75th percentile: 17\u2009236\u2009pg/ml) for IBM, 14\u2009780\u2009pg/ml (75th percentile: 17\u2009631\u2009pg/ml) for DM and 8449\u2009pg/ml (75th percentile: 12\u2009632\u2009pg/ml) for controls. fMET correlated inversely with MMT8 in antibody-negative IBM (r\u2009=\u2009-0.53, P\u2009=\u20090.02). Calprotectin was elevated in DM (P\u2009=\u20090.01) but not IBM; NE-DNA complexes were increased in both DM (P\u2009=\u20090.03) and IBM (P\u2009<\u20090.0001).

This study aimed to explore the role of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), a known mediator of COPD, in CSE-induced senescent alveolar macrophages. NGAL and cellular senescence markers expression were quantified in the lungs of COPD patients. Meanwhile, double-immunofluorescence staining was used to detect NGAL levels in alveolar macrophages of COPD lung tissues. Using a cigarette smoke exposure (CSE)-induced cellular senescence model in MH-S cells. Effects of CSE on NGAL secretion in MH-S cells was assessed by ELISA. Western blotting analysis and SA-\u03b2-galactosidase staining were employed to measure cellular senescence markers. NGAL siRNA was used to knockdown NGAL expression. In addition, CCK8 was used to evaluate cell viability and proliferation of MH-S cells. The activation status of the PI3K/Akt pathway was determined by Western blotting. NGAL was elevated in alveolar macrophages from COPD patients compared with healthy controls. In vitro, exposure to CSE induced senescence in MH-S cells and concurrently increased NGAL secretion. Notably, NGAL knockdown attenuated CSE-induced senescence in MH-S cells via the PI3K/Akt pathway. Furthermore, NGAL downregulation significantly reversed CSE-suppressed MH-S cells proliferation and reduced MMP2 and MMP9 expression in senescent MH-S cells.

It has demonstrated clinical relevance across a broad spectrum of conditions, including infections, cardiovascular disease, malignancies, trauma, postoperative complications, and cancer. Aging is associated with a gradual rise in NLR, driven by increasing neutrophil counts and declining lymphocyte numbers, reflecting underlying immunosenescence and systemic inflammation. Elevated NLR in older adults has been linked to greater morbidity and mortality, with higher levels correlating with increased risk, disease severity, and poorer clinical outcomes in age-related conditions. Interestingly, centenarians exhibit a slower age-related increase in NLR compared with non-centenarians, suggesting a more resilient immune system. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on the trajectory of NLR across the human lifespan and its clinical relevance in the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of selected age-related diseases.

Here, we develop a mathematical model that describe the dynamic of the innate immune response after acute damage. Our model includes all the described processes that mediate this response, including the regulatory mechanisms carried out by type 2 macrophages. Additionally, we estimate the resolution indices to quantify the efficiency of resolution mechanisms by controlling the initial expansion of neutrophils and/or the subsequent contraction kinetics of the cell response. We predict that the partial reduction of neutrophil influx and the increase of type 1 macrophage-mediated efferocytosis rate are the best strategies to control the neutrophil initial expansion. On the other hand, the partial reduction of type 1 macrophage cell influx or the increase of neutrophil apoptosis rate are predicted as good strategies to accelerate the neutrophils decay during the contraction phase of the response.",

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) are important during inflammation and left ventricular remodeling but their functions in HF are poorly studied. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) that fulfill anti-inflammatory functions are also not studied during HF. The goal of this work is to evaluate the balance between proinflammatory NET-producing neutrophils and anti-inflammatory MDSC in pathogenesis of AH and HF in elder rats. Wistar and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) aged 5 and 16\u00a0months were subjected to cardiodynamic parameters monitoring. NET formation was examined using fluorescence microscopy. MDSC were determined as CD11b/c+-His28+-RP1+/low (granulocytic) and CD11b/c+-His28+-RP1- (monocytic) cells by flow cytometry. Signs of HF were observed at AH: aged Wistar rats had decreased by 20.4\u2009\u00b1\u200915.5% ejection fraction (p\u2009=\u20090.006) compared to young ones, and old SHR by 29.4\u2009\u00b1\u200921% (p\u2009=\u20090.0007).

In old SHR the percentage of granulocytic MDSC from the total number of leukocytes in peripheral blood was 3.98 times higher than in young SHR (p\u2009=\u20090.006), and 3.3 times higher than in old Wistar rats (p\u2009=\u20090.01); and monocytic MDSC-4.75 times higher than in young SHR (p\u2009=\u20090.003), and 2.3 times higher than in old Wistar rats (p\u2009=\u20090.04). Here, we show that HF in old rats leads to significant increase of the NET and MDSC amount versus young animals.",

However, their potential to deliver bioactive lipid mediators remains largely unexplored. Here, we present a novel synthetic biology-based strategy to selectively load EVs with proresolving lipid mediators of the resolvin D- and E-series by coexpressing the resolvin biosynthetic enzymes cyclooxygenase 2, 5-lipoxygenase, and 15-lipoxygenase using a custom-designed multigene expression vector. Human embryonic kidney 293\u2009T cells transfected with the multigene expression vector and cultured in the presence of fatty acid free bovine serum albumen-complexed docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and aspirin produced multiple members of the resolvin D, aspirin-triggered resolvin D-series, and resolvin E1 and E2, along with their biosynthetic precursors, which were subsequently packaged into EVs (referred to as resolvin EVs). Resolvin EVs attenuated neutrophil adhesion to endothelial cells both under static and flow conditions and preserved endothelial barrier integrity by upregulating VE-cadherin. In macrophages, resolvin EVs suppressed nuclear factor \u03baB reporter activity and the release of IL6 and TNF\u03b1. Effects of resolvin EVs on endothelial permeability and macrophage activation were abrogated by pharmacologic inhibition of EV uptake using nystatin and cytochalasin D. Furthermore, resolvin EVs enhanced efferocytosis in THP-1-derived macrophages compared to control EVs. Notably, postinjury administration of resolvin EVs attenuated pulmonary inflammation in lipopolysaccharide-treated mice without inducing systemic or pulmonary toxicity. Together, these findings establish a novel, scalable platform for generating resolvin-loaded EVs and highlight their therapeutic potential for acute lung injury and other chronic inflammatory disorders.",

In this review, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) -web-like structures composed of decondensed chromatin, histones, and antimicrobial proteins released by neutrophils-are explored as therapeutic targets in vascular aging. NETs are vital for pathogen defense, but their excessive activation leads to inflammation and vascular pathologies, promoting endothelial dysfunction, inflammatory aging, and vascular remodeling in diseases such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, ischemic stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. Increasing evidence supports that modulating NETs through inhibitors or scavengers can reduce inflammatory responses, preserve endothelial integrity, and improve prognosis. As a potential therapeutic target, growing attention has been directed toward exploring the balance between NET induction, inhibition, and degradation.",

Despite this, the molecular mechanisms driving neutrophil dysregulation in periodontitis remain poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrate that CD300lf, a critical immune regulator, is markedly downregulated in neutrophils from a periodontitis mouse model and human patients. The loss of CD300lf accelerates neutrophil aging, as evidenced by increased reactive oxygen species production, the senescence-associated secretory phenotype with elevated IL-1\u03b2 and S100A8/A9 levels, and heightened neutrophil extracellular trap formation. Mechanistically, CD300lf deficiency leads to MyD88 upregulation, indicating a shift toward a proinflammatory state. Inhibition of MyD88 effectively reduces periodontal inflammation in CD300lf-deficient mice. Furthermore, targeting CD300lf with its known ligand ceramide alleviates periodontitis and mitigates the aging phenotype of neutrophils. These findings underscore the critical role of the CD300lf/MyD88 axis in neutrophil homeostasis and suggest that modulation of CD300lf through ceramide presents a promising therapeutic strategy for periodontitis.",

Recent studies have highlighted the critical role of immune function in the pathogenesis and progression of COPD. The disease is characterized by abnormal immune responses in the lower respiratory tract, with its progression associated with the infiltration of innate and adaptive inflammatory immune cells into the lungs and the formation of lymphoid follicles, mediated by cytokines and inflammasomes. Increasing evidence suggests that cell-mediated immunity has an important role in the pathogenesis of COPD, which is characterized by immune senescence leading to decreased resistance to infection, enhanced neutrophil and macrophage activation, T-cell infiltration, and aberrant B-cell activity, all of which combine to contribute to airway inflammation and lung injury in patients with COPD. This review aimed to explore the pivotal role of the immune system in COPD and its therapeutic potential. We reviewed, categorized, and summarized literature on immunity and COPD published in the last five years from Web of Science and PubMed databases. This study elucidates the pivotal role of immune dysregulation in COPD pathogenesis, particularly the dysfunctional transition from innate to adaptive immunity. We delineate how specific immune cell populations-including macrophages, neutrophils, and T-lymphocytes-contribute to sustained airway inflammation and lung injury in COPD through aberrant activation, infiltration, and impaired function. Mechanistically, key features of this dysregulation involve aberrant cytokine signaling pathways and defective resolution of inflammation. These insights reveal potential therapeutic targets for immunomodulatory strategies aimed at interrupting the chronic inflammatory cascade, restoring immune homeostasis, and mitigating infection susceptibility in COPD. Promising approaches highlighted include targeting specific cytokines, modulating macrophage polarization states, and enhancing mucosal immune defenses.",

This process is known as immunosenescence. Recent studies showed the influence of aging on neutrophil granulocytes (PMNs) and T-cells, with the extent of the influence appearing to depend on various co-factors (such as the primary diseases of a patient). In this study, the PMNs and T-cells of younger and older adult patients were tested for their immunoreactivity before and after an operation in order to examine the consequences of the aging process on the moderately triggered immune system. Whole blood was taken from young patients (aged 18-65 years) and old patients (>\u200965 years) before and one day after an operation. Previous illnesses and medication intake were taken from the patient's file. PMNs and T-cells were isolated. Immunoassays, live cell imaging (LCI) and flow cytometric examinations (FACS) were performed in order to assess certain properties of the PMNs (chemotactic migration, ROS production, NET formation, change of surface epitopes), their expression of adhesion molecules as well as their cell viability. In addition, the blood samples were subjected to a laboratory chemical examination. Above all during the initial LCI observation period (<\u200940\u00a0min), the PMNs of old patients covered longer distances than those of young patients. NETosis, ROS production and surface antigen expression were influenced neither by age nor by the surgical procedure. Regardless of age, PMNs\u00b4 ROS production started earlier 24\u00a0h after the operation compared to the pre OP values. By labeling the translocator protein (TSPO), it was demonstrated that mitochondrial release occurs only during suicidal NETosis. Old patients showed significantly more TSPO-labeled mitrochondria per PMN. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly increased in older patients. The share of CD28- and CD8-positive cells was increased in younger patients. All patients showed postoperative leukocytosis caused by an increase in monocytes and PMNs, which was independent of the extent of the trauma. Only young patients showed a postoperative increase in lymphocytes. Old patients had higher IL-6 levels than young patients. The operation did not lead to any increases in the IL-6 and CRP levels. Age influences the function of PMNs and T-cells more strongly than a moderate surgical trauma in combination with anaesthesia. The results advance our understanding of the decreasing effectiveness of the immune system in old age.",
        "41206959": "ID: 41206959\nTitle: The aryl hydrocarbon receptor promotes the resolution of pulmonary neutrophilia via regulation of macrophage efferocytosis.\nAbstract: Cigarette smoke is the primary cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), an incurable condition characterized by irreversible airflow obstruction and alveolar destruction driven by chronic inflammation of the lungs and airways. The inflammatory response caused by cigarette smoke is typified by the recruitment of innate and adaptive immune cells to the lung. Paradoxically, many of these immune cells are functionally impaired by smoke. Notable among these are lung macrophages, which have reduced ability to clear apoptotic lung epithelial cells and neutrophils by efferocytosis when exposed to cigarette smoke. Lung macrophages may express the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a receptor/transcription factor highly expressed in barrier organs including the lungs. The AhR protects against the damaging effects of cigarette smoke by attenuating pulmonary neutrophilia via an unknown mechanism. We used our preclinical cigarette smoke models, mutant AhR mice and techniques such as flow cytometry, Western blot and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to show that the AhR promotes the resolution of cigarette smoke-induced inflammation in mice via enhanced efferocytosis. Moreover, the ability of macrophages to engulf apoptotic neutrophils in the lungs is due to a non-genomic AhR pathway that involves signaling through the IL-10/JAK/STAT pathway. Finally, we show that the non-toxic endogenous AhR ligand FICZ promotes macrophage uptake of neutrophils. Taken together, these results support the importance of AhR activity in mediating its anti-inflammatory functions in response to cigarette smoke. Further investigation of the precise mechanisms by which the AhR exerts its anti-inflammatory function may open the possibility for therapeutic agents to treat chronic inflammatory diseases.",

Chronic alcohol consumption accelerates liver aging through mechanisms such as oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, and impaired regeneration. It is still unknown whether senescent cell clearance orchestrates innate and adaptive immune responses during the alcohol-induced old liver damage process. To investigate this, we used INK-ATTAC transgenic mice treat with AP20187 (AP) to eliminate p16Ink4a-positive senescent cells in chronic-plus-binge ethanol feeding model. Senescent cell clearance alleviates age-related liver oxidative stress and lipid accumulation in long-term (8wks)-plus-binges mice. Importantly, AP clears senescent cells, promoting M1/M2 macrophage polarization and reducing the expression of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors. In addition, senescent cell clearance mitigates liver injury by reducing CD8+ T cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and neutrophil infiltration, as well as ameliorating immuno-senescence and T cell exhaustion. These findings demonstrate that the clearance of senescent cells influences immune response and contributes to inhibiting immune senescence. This work sheds light on senolytic interventions' being a potential therapeutic avenue for alleviating age-associated pathologies in alcohol related liver disease (ALD) and has the potential for clinical translation.",

Aging reduced mesenchymal cell populations and impaired osteogenic potential, may contribute to periosteal homeostasis. Periosteal progenitor subsets exhibited distinct aging trajectories: Dpt\u207a fibrous-layer cells undergoing early senescence, while Postn\u207a progenitors showed osteogenic decline. Aging also shifted immune profiles, increasing inflammatory Cd38hi macrophages and dysfunctional Nlrp3hi neutrophils, further disrupting bone homeostasis. Notably, aged progenitor cells upregulated CSF1 and CXCL signaling, driving macrophage and neutrophil infiltration, exacerbating bone loss. Our findings provide a comprehensive periosteal aging atlas, revealing aging-associated alterations in progenitor-immune crosstalk that may influence bone tissue dynamics, and offering insights into potential targets for age-related skeletal conditions.",

This review delineates the functional, metabolic, and spatial characteristics of these two phagocytic cell types and highlights their bidirectional interactions across distinct immunological phases of sepsis. Multiple intercellular conduits, including extracellular vesicles, cytokine-chemokine axes, extracellular traps, and efferocytosis, mediate context-specific reprogramming of effector states, with extracellular vesicle cargo and trap degradation products emerging as diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Advances in nanomedicine now enable phase-specific manipulation of this myeloid crosstalk, attenuating pathogenic inflammation in the early phase and restoring antimicrobial competence during immunosuppression. Dissecting the spatiotemporal, metabolic, and molecular logic of neutrophil-macrophage communication offers a framework for precision immunomodulation in sepsis, with potential to recalibrate the immune landscape toward controlled inflammation and durable resolution.",
        "41290006": "ID: 41290006\nTitle: Aging changes the mechanism that underlies JAK2 modulation of neutrophil function.\nAbstract: Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) has been linked to various neutrophil functions, but the intracellular mechanisms underlying its modulation are unknown. Neutrophils are essential cells for host defense. Neutrophil effector functions include migration, neutrophil extracellular trap production (NETosis), reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and degranulation. The goal of this study was to elucidate the signaling mechanism through which JAK2 modulates neutrophil function and the effect of aging on this pathway. We hypothesized that JAK2-mediated modulation changes the molecular mechanisms associated with neutrophil function in an age-dependent manner. Neutrophils from young (3\u2009mo) and aged (\u226522 mo) male and female C57BL/6J mice were isolated, treated with a JAK2 inhibitor (AZD1480) or a pan-JAK inhibitor (baricitinib), and stimulated with PMA. Functional assays were conducted to assess migration, degranulation, NETosis, and metabolism. Mass spectrometry and Luminex assays provided proteomic and cytokine profiles. Our data showed that JAK2 promotes migration via membrane composition and actin remodeling, with age-dependent shifts in chemokine secretion. JAK2 primes ROS production by altering NADPH oxidase components, which contributes to NET production. JAK2 influences degranulation through actin remodeling. While aged neutrophils display impaired ROS-granule release, both young and aged neutrophils have distinct JAK-dependent release of granule contents. Metabolically, JAK2 enhances pentose phosphate pathway activity in young neutrophils and decreases glycogen breakdown in aged cells. These findings reveal mechanisms by which JAK2 modulates neutrophil function and suggest that organismal age plays a role in this modulation.",

A sepsis model was established using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in aged (100-week-old) and young mice (8-week-old) to study NET clearance by macrophages, assessing liver injury and inflammatory responses with interventions targeting AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK) and phagocytosis pathways. Additionally, the study included 40 sepsis patients, with 25 elderly (65-89 years) and 15 young (31-62 years) individuals, and collected peripheral blood samples from all for in vitro experiments. In aged mice, a significant increase in 7-day mortality was observed (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.50, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10-5.65, P = .009), alongside heightened inflammatory response and liver injury (histopathology score: 3.2 \u00b1 0.4 vs 2.4 \u00b1 0.6; P = .021), compared to young mice post-CLP. Hepatic NET accumulation markedly increased (mean difference [MD] = 0.43%, 95% CI, 0.25%-0.61%; P < .001), which was attenuated by DNase I-mediated NET inhibition, reducing hepatic enzymes and inflammatory responses. Consistently, transplantation of young bone marrow into aged recipients significantly reduced NET accumulation (MD = -0.33%, 95% CI, -0.43% to -0.22%; P < .001). Mechanistically, the phosphorylation of AMPK (0.68-fold vs young; P < .001) and Ca 2+ /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) was suppressed in aged septic mice. Activation of AMPK via 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) led to a decrease in hepatic NET accumulation (MD = -0.30%, 95% CI, -0.41% to -0.19%; P < .001), improved liver injury (histopathology score: 2.49 \u00b1 0.24 vs 3.07 \u00b1 0.28; P = .006), and reduced 7-day mortality (HR = 0.37, 95% CI, 0.15-0.94, P = .038). Critically, elderly patients exhibited elevated NET-related markers, compounded by suppressed AMPK phosphorylation and impaired NET phagocytosis (MD = -16.34%, 95% CI, -24.31% to -8.37%; P = .002). Aging impairs AMPK-mediated macrophage clearance of NETs in the liver, exacerbating liver inflammatory injury. Focusing on NETs could offer a therapeutic strategy to mitigate liver damage and reduce mortality in elderly sepsis patients.",

We examined the effects of amino acid supplementation on post-exercise accumulation of myeloperoxidase-positive (MPO\u207a) cells in human skeletal muscle using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover design. Ten young men (22 \u00b1 2.8 years) consumed either amino acids (15 g) or an isocaloric placebo before resistance exercise. Biopsies of the vastus lateralis muscle were collected at baseline, immediately after exercise (0 h), and 24 h post-exercise. Resistance exercise increased MPO\u207a cell infiltration (+161%, p = 0.02) and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels (+66%, p = 0.02) at 24 h. Amino acid supplementation accelerated MPO\u207a cell infiltration to 0 h (+100%, p = 0.03), which diminished by 24 h post-exercise (+53%, p = 0.06). Immunofluorescence co-staining revealed that MPO\u207a cells exhibited markedly higher mitochondrial density (TOM20-labeled) and integrated with the injured regions of adjacent myofibers showing lower mitochondria. Other infiltrating MPO-negative cells also contributed mitochondria to exercised muscle tissue, resulting in an overall ~2-fold increase in mitochondrial content during 24-h recovery (p < 0.001), similar under both supplementation conditions. Cellular senescence marker p16Ink4a mRNA decreased by 58% at 24 h post-exercise, with an earlier reduction observed under amino acid treatment (0 h: -49%, p = 0.05). These findings indicate that amino acid supplementation accelerates the resolution of inflammation in exercised human skeletal muscle. Immunofluorescence evidence further suggests that infiltrating bone marrow-derived cells contribute to fast mitochondrial gains as part of the muscle damage-response following exercise.",

Neutrophils dominate periodontal lesions and, while essential for host defense, become pathogenic when dysregulated. Their hyperactivated antimicrobial functions-phagocytosis, oxidative burst, degranulation, and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation-drive oxidative stress, protease release, and aberrant NETosis, leading to tissue and bone damage. Cytokines, chemokines, microbial virulence factors, and aging further shape neutrophil responses, but chronic overactivation remains central to disease progression. This review summarizes recent insights into neutrophil-mediated mechanisms in PD and discusses emerging immunopharmacological interventions. Direct approaches include inhibitors of integrins, chemokine receptors, elastase, matrix metalloproteinases, and peptidyl arginine deiminase 4, as well as NET-scavenging nanocapsules and mitochondrial ROS inhibitors. Indirect strategies aim to modulate cytokine signaling or disrupt neutrophil crosstalk with osteoclasts and T helper cells. Novel candidates such as specialized pro-resolving mediators, stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles, senolytics, and D-mannose show particular promise in preclinical studies. Collectively, neutrophils are increasingly recognized not only as pathological drivers of PD but also as promising therapeutic targets. A deeper understanding of neutrophil biology and immunomodulatory approaches may pave the way for innovative treatments in periodontitis and related inflammatory conditions.",

However, this may not fully explain its benefits in chronic inflammatory conditions. We propose a complementary view whereby exercise potentially functions as a biological detoxifier by removing harmful immunological debris such as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), senescent cells, dysfunctional mitochondria and pro-inflammatory extracellular vesicles (EVs) that drive chronic immune activation. We highlight key mechanisms by which exercise may reduce or remove these harmful signals, including autophagy and mitophagy activation, enhanced efferocytosis, reduced senescence burden, and modulation of EV cargo. This \"immune detox\" model may help explain the clinical benefits of exercise in conditions where the immune system is overactivated, not deficient. It shifts the narrative from immune boosting to restoring immune balance, and could have potentially important implications for biomarker discovery and personalized exercise prescriptions in chronic disease.",

Various risk factors are responsible for the disease, including aging, vascular disorders, head trauma, infection, genetics, and environmental conditions. Amyloid beta (A\u03b2) and neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) build-up lead to the generation of free radicals, which in turn cause oxidative stress and neuroinflammation that further cause synaptic and mitochondrial dysfunction. These inflammatory responses primarily stem from the overactivation of microglial and astroglial cells, producing cytokines and chemokines. However, immune cell migration has also been observed in the central nervous system (CNS) via blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, in which neutrophils have grabbed more attention due to their migration and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in AD brain parenchyma and blood vessels, causing chronic neuroinflammation and neuronal damage via NETosis. NETosis is the immune system's defense mechanism in which neutrophils form web-like structures to trap pathogens and digest them with their antimicrobial and cytotoxic peptides and release inflammatory cytokines. Neutrophils and NETs have been observed in many studies surrounding A\u03b2 plaques in the brain parenchyma and cerebral blood vessels, causing neuronal tissue damage and AD progression. The ongoing research advocates that by targeting conventional A\u03b2 plaques and tau build-up, managing neuroinflammation, particularly caused by NETosis, may delay the onset or reduce its progression. In the growing health care scenario, to avoid any side effects and the cost of the present discovered drugs, the focus should be on organic or natural components/compounds for which phytochemicals will be the best to target NETosis, as they have many medicinal properties like anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and immunomodulatory. This review focuses on understanding the molecular association between neuroinflammation in NETs and AD progression and the role of plant-derived constituents in tackling the NETosis-induced AD progression.",

Emerging evidence suggests that dysregulated immune-stromal interactions play a pivotal role in this process; however, how antibiotic resistance disrupts the osteoimmune balance-particularly the crosstalk between macrophages and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-remains unclear. Here, we integrated single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of peri-infectious bone tissue with in vivo and in vitro experiments to delineate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying osteoimmune alterations associated with antibiotic resistance. Analysis of 101,336 single cells identified 10 major cell types, including macrophages, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and neutrophils. Resistant infection induced M1-polarized macrophages with defective efferocytosis and MSCs undergoing PANoptosis and impaired osteogenic differentiation. Ligand-receptor analysis highlighted the SIRP\u03b1-Thbs1-CD47 axis as a key mediator of dysfunctional macrophage-MSC communication. Functional inhibition of CD47 signaling restored efferocytosis, mitigated antibiotic resistance-associated inflammation, and promoted bone regeneration. Collectively, these findings define a macrophage checkpoint-mediated mechanism linking immune dysregulation to osteogenic failure in antibiotic-resistant bone infection and suggest that targeting this axis may offer a promising therapeutic strategy.",

Bone marrow serves as the powerhouse of neutrophil differentiation, while the state of neutrophil NETosis therein and its relationship with bone aging remains largely elusive. Moreover, it remains unclear how neutrophil heterogeneity and pro-inflammatory cues within bone marrow synergistically regulate neutrophil NETosis. Here, we find neutrophil NETosis is highly activated in the bone marrow of 3-mon male senescence-accelerated mouse prone 6 (SAMP6), and the released NETs induce BMSCs senescence and impairs their osteogenesis. Further, we verify in vivo NETs-clearance significantly ameliorates bone aging of 3-mon male SAMP6 mice. Next, through scRNA-seq we find a CD55+ intermediate mature neutrophil subset enriching in the 3-mon male SAMP6 bone marrow, characterized by significantly upregulated NETosis. Through cell transfer, we demonstrate this subset directly induces bone aging. Mechanistically, elevated ROS within the bone marrow of SAMP6 integrates with a CD55-primed HIF1\u0251-PADI4 pathway to trigger NETosis, and senescent BMSCs serve as a ROS-producer. In summary, our results demonstrate that activated NETosis in CD55+ intermediate-mature neutrophils plays a key role in initiating bone aging. Also, we uncover the vicious cycle of inflammaging between immune dysregulation and cellular senescence in bone marrow, providing potential targets for osteoporosis treatment.",

Here, we investigated the role of Plg/Pla on key features of inflammation resolution in a murine model of severe pneumococcal pneumonia. High levels of Plg were observed in the airways after infection, accompanied by increased levels of Plg activator inhibitor-1, neutrophil elastase, and Plg degradation fragments as inflammation progressed. Pla treatment of mice infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae decreased neutrophilic infiltration in airways and lungs, accompanied by lower concentrations of the neutrophil chemoattractive chemokines CXCL1 and CXCL2 and the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-1\u03b2. Pla treatment also enhanced neutrophil apoptosis and efferocytosis and slightly reduced bacterial loads in bronchoalveolar lavage. In addition, Pla decreased damage and fibrin deposition in the lungs, improving pneumonia-driven pulmonary mechanical dysfunction and rescuing mice from lethality. Pla-induced resolution of S pneumoniae-evoked inflammation was associated with neutrophil apoptosis, as the caspase-3-specific inhibitor Z-DEVD-FMK blocked Pla-protective actions. In addition to the effects on neutrophils, intranasal instillation of Pla in naive mice increased the number of alveolar macrophages and guided them toward a regulatory phenotype marked by enhanced efferocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils and increased bacterial phagocytosis, ultimately promoting host protection against pneumococcus-induced inflammation and tissue damage. In sum, our findings demonstrate that Pla modulates the lung inflammatory milieu and promotes key proresolving events, namely neutrophil apoptosis and expansion of alveolar macrophage with enhanced efferocytosis and phagocytic abilities, resulting in improved lung function and survival in pneumococcal pneumonia.",

Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BHD) is a classic traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula widely used for treating cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, but whether it acts through modulating NET-driven vascular aging is unknown. This study aims to investigate the mechanism by which BHD delays vascular aging, focusing on the NETs formation pathway. Based on a D-galactose-induced aging mouse model, this study focused on neutrophils and combined transcriptomics, network pharmacology and molecular biology methods to explore the mechanism of BHD in delaying vascular aging. The present study identified 23 major chemical constituents in BHD and demonstrated its efficacy in ameliorating aging phenotypes in a D-galactose-induced aging mouse model. BHD treatment significantly alleviated aortic structural degeneration, reduced oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokine levels, and downregulated key senescence markers including p16 and p21. Integrated multi-omics analysis implicated NET suppression as a primary mechanism underlying the anti-aging benefits of BHD. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments confirmed that BHD inhibits NETosis by modulating the HMGB1/TLR4/p38 signaling pathway, leading to reduced expression of critical NET components. Notably, HMGB1 overexpression partially reversed the inhibitory effects of BHD on NETosis, establishing HMGB1 as a key effector molecule. For the first time, our findings unveil a novel mechanism whereby BHD alleviates vascular aging by modulating the immune microenvironment through inhibition of the HMGB1-TLR4-p38-NETs cascade. These findings provide a novel immunomodulatory perspective on BHD and highlight its potential as a holistic therapeutic strategy against vascular aging.",

However, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here we report our investigation into CF neutrophil recruitment, apoptosis and clearance to determine if any neutrophil intrinsic defect is involved in the pathogenesis. Congenic fluorescent wild-type (WT) and CF mice were generated and used as bone marrow (BM) donors. Non-fluorescent WT and CF recipients were transplanted with a mixture of EGFP-WT and DsRed-CF BM cells and interrogated for neutrophil recruitment and apoptosis in the same lung after zymosan challenge. Additionally, ex vivo neutrophil migration and apoptosis were also examined to confirm the in vivo findings. Moreover, DsRed-WT or DsRed-CF BM cells were transfused into non-fluorescent CF recipients that had been intratracheally challenged with zymosan. Percentages of apoptotic cell-laden macrophages in the lungs were compared. The data indicate that CF and WT neutrophils exhibited a similar migratory capacity and were equally recruited to the same lung, regardless of the recipient phenotype. However, CF neutrophils displayed a significantly delayed apoptosis. Such an anomaly was linked to reduced hypochlorous acid production. Moreover, CF macrophages exhibited a significantly higher expression of efferocytosis marker MerTK, and a greater capacity of efferocytosis, implying that macrophage phagocytosis of apoptotic cells is not impaired in this experimental setting. These findings suggest that intrinsically dysregulated programmed cell death affects CF neutrophil fate decision and fuels neutrophilic inflammation in CF lungs.",

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors such as empagliflozin (EMPA) provide cardiometabolic benefits, but their anti-inflammatory effects and optimal timing after AMI remain unclear. Given the prognostic role of systemic markers like the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, we investigated whether early initiation of EMPA modulates NOD-like receptor protein-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activity and inflammatory responses in monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) from T2DM-AMI patients. Sixty-six participants were randomised to receive EMPA either at discharge (Arm-A) or following a 90-day delay (Arm B). Clinical data and biological samples were collected over 180\u00a0days. CD14+ MDMs and plasma were obtained at days 0, 30, and 90 (EMPA vs. no EMPA), and days 90, 120, and 180 (early vs. delayed). Inflammatory and metabolic markers were assessed using RT-qPCR, luminescence-based caspase-1 and ATP assays, and targeted immunoassays. Early EMPA administration was associated with reduced NLRP3 priming (IL1\u03b2 mRNA) and activation (caspase-1 activity), potentially linked to decreased release of ATP, a danger associated molecular pattern (DAMP). In the absence of EMPA, pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF\u03b1, IL6, MCP1) and M1 macrophage markers (e.g., CD80) either increased or remained unchanged over time. Early EMPA treatment appeared to stabilise or reduce their expression. Markers of cell senescence (p21, IL8, BCL2) were also modulated. Plasma levels of senescence-associated markers (MMP9, OPN, Serpin E1) remained largely unchanged, highlighting the importance of evaluating macrophage-specific responses. Early empagliflozin administration in T2DM-AMI patients was associated with modulation of NLRP3-related inflammatory and senescence pathways in patient-derived macrophages, benefits observed when cells were stimulated ex-vivo with an inflammatory stimulus. These findings provide mechanistic insight into the timing-dependent anti-inflammatory effects of EMPA and underscore its potential for immediate post-AMI use to reduce inflammation and lower residual cardiovascular risk, supporting further clinical investigation.",

Methods: Myeloid cell-specific \u03b22AR knockout (LB2) and control mice were subjected to myocardial infarction (MI) with or without prior transplantation with shRNA-modified bone marrow. The impact of myeloid cell-specific \u03b22AR deletion, and mechanistic basis for the effect, were assessed via echocardiography, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, gene expression and efferocytosis analyses. Results: LB2 mice displayed better cardiac function and less fibrotic remodeling post-MI. Despite a similar initial influx of myeloid cell subtypes, by 4 days post-MI LB2 mice had significantly reduced Nu, concurrent with increased Nu-containing Mac, indicating an enhanced efferocytosis capacity. Indeed, the pro-efferocytotic protein annexin A1 (AnxA1) was elevated in several \u03b22AR-deficient myeloid cell types following MI. Mechanistically, we found the expression of several miRs known to repress Anxa1 expression were elevated in response to \u03b22AR stimulation, an effect absent with \u03b22AR deletion, and miR-374b-5p mimic in particular was sufficient to decrease Anxa1 expression. Finally, lentivirus-encoded shRNA was used to induce knockdown of Anxa1 expression in the bone marrow of LB2 mice prior to MI, which reduced Nu efferocytosis in vitro and prevented the ameliorative effects on cardiac fibrosis and function observed with LB2 mice following MI in vivo. Conclusion: Myeloid cell-specific \u03b22AR deletion leads to loss of miR-374b-5p-mediated repression of AnxA1, which allows for enhanced efferocytosis-mediated Nu clearance, thereby limiting infarct expansion and improving post-injury cardiac function and fibrotic remodeling.",

Paradoxically, both subsets accumulated in therapy-refractory residual tumors but showed inverse correlations across patients, suggesting mutually exclusive resistance mechanisms. Inflammatory macrophages localized preferentially to epithelial-like tumors, whereas proresolution macrophages were enriched in mesenchymal-like tumors. Mouse models faithfully recapitulated these patterns. After chemoimmunotherapy, mesenchymal-like tumors expanded proresolution macrophages through phagocytosis/efferocytosis, \u03c9-3 fatty acid uptake, and resolvin production. Macrophage-secreted C1q emerged as a principal antagonist of T cell function by targeting mitochondria and inducing metabolic dysfunction. By contrast, epithelial-like tumors accumulated inflammatory macrophages and neutrophils that produced prostaglandins via \u03c9-6 fatty acid pathways. Knocking down ELOVL5 - an elongase involved in \u03c9-3 and \u03c9-6 metabolism - mitigated both neutrophil- and macrophage-mediated immunosuppression. These distinct axes, driven by dysregulated inflammation and resolution programs, converged to undermine therapy-induced immunosurveillance; however, targeting their shared upstream regulators may overcome these resistance mechanisms.",
        "41738282": "ID: 41738282\nTitle: Irgm1 Improves Postinfarction Cardiac Repair by Promoting Neutrophil Clearance and Efferocytosis.\nAbstract: Delayed neutrophil clearance after myocardial infarction (MI) significantly disrupts the myocardial microenvironment, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Macrophage-mediated efferocytosis of infiltrating neutrophils is crucial for resolving inflammation and restoring homeostasis post-MI. However, the specific regulatory mechanisms governing neutrophil clearance and efferocytosis remain undefined. This study demonstrates a significant correlation between increased IRGM expression in peripheral blood neutrophils of patients with MI and improved prognostic outcomes. Neutrophil-specific deletion of Irgm1 exacerbates cardiac dysfunction, impairs post-MI repair, and hinders neutrophil clearance and efferocytosis. Irgm1 deficiency further delays neutrophil clearance in the heart and extends neutrophil survival. Mechanistically, Irgm1 directly interacts with PDIA3, promoting its autophagic degradation, which in turn activates the endoplasmic reticulum stress/NF-\u03baB/caspase-3 pathway to facilitate neutrophil clearance and efferocytosis. In vivo administration of LOC14 significantly reduces tissue damage and enhances cardiac recovery in neutrophil Irgm1-deficient mice post-MI. These findings highlight the pivotal role of the Irgm1-PDIA3 axis in facilitating cardiac repair post-MI by promoting neutrophil clearance. LOC14 may serve as a potential therapeutic agent to enhance cardiac function post-MI, particularly in Irgm1-deficient cases.",

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) are among the first responders in the lung following pneumococcal infection and are required for bacterial clearance. However, PMN antimicrobial function declines with age. To identify mechanisms underlying this decline, we performed RNA sequencing on PMNs in the lungs of young and old mice following pulmonary infection with S.\u2009pneumoniae. We observed significant transcriptomic differences across host age. Transcriptional analysis followed by functional validation revealed that in infected mice, PMNs from aged hosts failed to upregulate several effector activities including glycolysis and subsequent mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which are necessary for bacterial killing by PMNs. Conversely, PMNs in aged mice displayed a higher senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) score and upregulated pathways involved in cellular senescence. Follow-up functional characterization found that in uninfected hosts, PMNs in aged mice expressed higher levels of SASP factors IL-10, TNF\u03b1, and ROS, had a lower incidence of apoptosis, and had a higher proportion of cells positive for senescence-associated \u03b2-galactosidase, features of a senescent-like phenotype. Importantly, blocking TNF\u03b1, one of the SASP factors, altered the senescent-like phenotype and boosted the antibacterial activity of PMNs from aged hosts and increased host resistance to S.\u2009pneumoniae pulmonary infection. In conclusion, host aging is associated with altered PMN phenotype, including a shift toward senescent-like energy-deficient cells, which contribute to impaired host defense and represent potential targets for improved interventions against infection in older adults.",
        "41789514": "ID: 41789514\nTitle: Piezoelectric Ceramic Nanofiber Aerogels Direct Neutrophil Fate for Diabetic Tissue Regeneration.\nAbstract: The dysregulation of neutrophil death pathways constitutes a critical barrier to diabetic tissue regeneration, in which pyroptosis perpetuates chronic inflammation while apoptosis promotes tissue homeostasis. However, achieving reliable control over neutrophil death patterns to tune inflammation and repair processes remains a major challenge. Here, we develop a multifunctional aerogel scaffold based on piezoelectric ceramic nanofibers to synergistically direct neutrophil fate. Specifically, (K,Na)NbO3 piezoceramics are incorporated into gelatin/polylactic acid nanofiber membranes, homogenized via high-speed fragmentation, and freeze-dried to form a porous aerogel scaffold. Conjugation with the retinoid derivative peretinoin yields the final piezoelectric ceramic nanofiber aerogel (KAP). Peretinoin released from KAP suppresses caspase-3-mediated cleavage of gasdermin E (GSDME), switching neutrophil death from pyroptosis to apoptosis. Meanwhile, upon ultrasound activation, KAP generates surface potentials to enhance macrophage phagocytic capacity via calcium influx and lysosomal acidification. This dual mechano-chemical approach promotes efferocytosis and reprograms macrophages toward a pro-regenerative phenotype, thereby breaking the cycle of chronic inflammation in diabetic microenvironments. In diabetic rodent models, KAP significantly accelerates the healing of both soft and hard tissues. This study presents a piezoelectric ceramic nanofiber aerogel that offers a potential therapeutic approach for diabetic tissue regeneration.",

Sustained activation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) may contribute to left ventricular dysfunction and adverse cardiac remodeling through the induction of myocardial inflammation and oxidative stress - pathological processes that closely align with the hallmark features of HF. Preclinical studies in animal models have demonstrated that TLR4 deficiency improves cardiac function in aged mice; however, the precise role and underlying mechanisms of TLR4 in human HF remain poorly understood. This study aims to test the central hypothesis that TLR4 serves as a critical molecular link between chronic inflammation and the pathophysiology of HF. HF was induced in 18-month-old male C57BL/6J mice via continuous subcutaneous infusion of isoproterenol (ISO, 30 mg/kg/day) over a period of 3 weeks. Thereafter, mice received daily intraperitoneal injections of the TLR4 inhibitor TAK-242 (2 mg/kg), deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I, 5 mg/kg), or the peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) inhibitor GSK484 (4 mg/kg) for 7 consecutive days. Cardiac function was assessed using a ultrasound imaging system. HE staining and Masson staining were employed to evaluate myocardial pathological changes and collagen deposition. ELISA was performed to measure serum levels of myeloperoxidase-DNA (MPO-DNA), neutrophil elastase-DNA (NE-DNA), cTnI, NT-proBNP, IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect the co-localization levels of Ly6G with myeloperoxidase (MPO) and citrullinated histone H3 (cit-H3) in myocardial tissue, in order to assess the formation level of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Western blot were utilized to determine the expression level of TLR4 protein. The expression of TLR4 was significantly upregulated in the myocardial tissue of aged HF mice. Inhibition of TLR4 not only markedly improved cardiac function but also alleviated pathological damage to myocardial tissue and reduced collagen fiber deposition. Concurrently, it also decreased the serum levels of MPO-DNA, NE-DNA, NT-proBNP, cTnI, and inflammatory factors. Moreover, the colocalization levels of Ly6G with MPO or cit-H3 in myocardial tissue was also diminished. These findings were consistent with the effects observed following DNase I and GSK484 interventions. Targeting TLR4 can mitigate inflammatory responses and enhance cardiac function in HF mice by inhibiting NETs formation.

Neutrophils preferentially accumulate in necrotic or pericentral zones, whereas macrophage subsets adopt diverse zonal identities and display remarkable plasticity, collectively orchestrating inflammation and tissue repair. In this review, we consolidate current knowledge on neutrophil and macrophage zonation in liver disease, emphasizing their roles in shaping pathophysiology and clinical outcomes.

        "41855258": "ID: 41855258\nTitle: Elucidation of a potent pro-resolving mediator of inflammation resolution via human neutrophil-vascular endothelial cell interactions.\nAbstract: The acute inflammatory response is a highly coordinated programmed sequence that enables neutrophils to transmigrate from venules into tissues. Ideally self-limited, the active resolution phase produces specialized molecules that stimulate resolution and prevent collateral tissue damage from excessive neutrophil infiltration. The superfamily of pro-resolving molecules is termed specialized pro-resolving mediators including the essential polyunsaturated fatty acid-derived lipoxins, resolvins, protectins, and maresins. Given the intimate interactions between leukocytes and endothelial cells in inflammation resolution, we investigated whether unique bioactive molecules carrying pro-resolution properties are biosynthesized by human neutrophils coincubated with activated vascular endothelial cells. Using metabololipidomics, we found that human coronary aortic valves from transplants contained 13-hydroxy-4Z,7Z,10Z,14E,16Z,19Z-docosahexaenoic acid (13-HDHA) and inflammatory eicosanoids. We report that human endothelial cells convert DHA to 13-HDHA which in turn is transformed by human neutrophils to a previously unknown bioactive product 4,13-dihydroxy-docosahexaenoic acid. This structure was established using physical properties including tandem-mass spectrometry, UV-analysis, and conversion of deuterated substrate. Biosynthesis of this product during neutrophil-endothelial coincubations involved bidirectional crosstalk between neutrophil 5-LOX and endothelial COX-2 as confirmed using isolated recombinant enzymes. The bioactive 4S,13R-dihydroxy-5E,7Z,10Z,14E,16Z,19Z-docosahexaenoic acid, also produced by M2-like macrophages and mononuclear cells, demonstrated potent nanomolar pro-resolving actions including, a) limiting neutrophil infiltration into mouse air pouch, b) reducing human neutrophil adherence to endothelial cells, c) protecting endothelial cell from senescence, and d) stimulating human macrophage efferocytosis of senescent red blood cells. These results provide evidence for a previously unknown pro-resolving pathway and molecule biosynthesized from DHA via cyclooxygenase-2-5-lipoxygenase during leukocyte crosstalk with the vasculature.",

In individuals with frailty, inflammageing is increased, dysregulating immune function and increasing susceptibility to serious outcomes from infection. In this study, we investigated the changes that take place in human neutrophils during healthy ageing and ageing with frailty (FR) using RNAseq and functional assays. We also compared neutrophil phenotype in frailty with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RNAseq data were analysed using IDEP2 and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). Neutrophil phenotype was assessed for reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) release, chemotaxis, and bacterial killing capacity. Experimental data were analysed by ANOVA in R (v4.5.1). RNAseq identified activation of G-protein coupled receptors, interferon and cytokine receptor signalling, and chemotaxis pathways in frail individuals (n = 10) compared with healthy older (n = 9) and healthy younger people (n = 8, adj. P < 0.05). FR neutrophils expressed more IL-8 receptors (CXCR1 and CXCR2) and CD177 on their surface (n = 5-8, P < 0.05). FR and RA neutrophils released significantly more ROS (n = 6-7) and had impaired chemotaxis (n = 8-9) and bacterial killing capacity (n = 5, P < 0.05) compared with both healthy groups. FR neutrophils also released significantly more NETs in response to LPS (10\u2005ng/ml, n = 6-7, P < 0.05). This work provides novel insight into the altered neutrophil phenotype associated with ageing in good health and ageing with frailty, and highlights similarities between inflammageing in frailty and chronic inflammation in RA. This may be important in the development of therapeutics and/or health management strategies to support healthy living as we age.",

This review systematically explores the core mechanisms by which the cGAS-STING pathway regulates cellular senescence, emphasizing its role in triggering senescence through the recognition of DNA damage signals (e.g., oxidative stress, telomere dysfunction) and promoting paracrine senescence effects via the production and release of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). We focus on the crosstalk between this pathway and current research hotspots, including the hypoxic microenvironment, ammonia-induced cell death, neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, and macrophage polarization, uncovering its intricate molecular network in cellular senescence regulation. Moreover, this review provides an in-depth analysis of the cGAS-STING pathway's pathological contributions and molecular mechanisms in aging-related diseases, along with a summary of potential therapeutic strategies targeting this pathway, based on recent advances.

Delayed union or nonunion occurs in up to 15% of normal fractures with higher rates in aged individuals. Preclinical testing supports the translation of novel strategies to promote improved fracture repair, but there is a paucity of small animal models that recapitulate delayed fracture healing. Here, we evaluated the Zmpste24- / - (Z24- / -) murine model of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome as a model of delayed fracture healing. Leveraging the previously characterized Z24- / - phenotype of genomic instability, epigenetic changes, and fragility, we hypothesize that progeria mice will present with significantly delayed fracture healing relative to age-matched wild type (WT) controls. Mice received intramedullary-fixed tibia fractures with healing and immunosenescence evaluated throughout repair. Z24- / - mice demonstrated significantly delayed healing with smaller fracture calli containing more cartilage and less bone relative to WT mice. The fracture healing phenotype of the Z24- / - phenocopied naturally aged mice with increased systemic senescence noted in animals relative to adult WT. Unlike naturally aged mice, Z24- / - also presented with frail bones. Z24- / - showed a dysregulated immune composition, with decreased lymphopoiesis, increased myelopoiesis and neutrophil accumulation. Aspects of the macrophage phenotype in Z24- / - reflected changes in natural aging, but with different systemic T cell responses. Given the Z24- / - progeria mouse model demonstrates the delayed fracture healing phenotype of naturally aged animal at 3 rather than 20 months of age, we suggest this model provides an accelerated model of age-related delayed fracture healing.",
        "41938115": "ID: 41938115\nTitle: Beyond adrenal fatigue: reframing the adrenal stress index through neutrophil-mediated glucocorticoid resistance.\nAbstract: The Adrenal Stress Index (ASI) is widely used in functional medicine but dismissed by mainstream endocrinology. Traditionally interpreted as a measure of adrenal secretory capacity, it has been criticized for lacking clinical validity. Yet salivary cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) may offer more than redundant hormone monitoring: they may capture the organism's ability to maintain resilience against chronic inflammation. We propose that the ASI should be reframed not as a test of adrenal \"fatigue,\" but as a candidate biomarker of inflammatory adaptation. Cortisol, bound to corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG), is released at inflamed sites through neutrophil elastase stored in azurophilic granules. Since these granules are formed only at the promyelocyte stage, their depletion under chronic demand leads to neutrophil exhaustion and impaired cortisol delivery. DHEAS, conversely, buffers cortisol's catabolic and immunosuppressive actions and declines with age or persistent stress. The balance between cortisol exposure and DHEAS dynamics, therefore, reflects the efficiency of the HPA-immune-metabolic network rather than adrenal output alone. Flattened diurnal slopes, attenuated cortisol awakening response, evening-predominant DHEAS, and paradoxical elevations of salivary sex steroids under low cortisol/DHEAS conditions illustrate how chronic inflammation reprograms endocrine networks. These profiles align with clinical phenotypes such as frailty, sarcopenia, and metabolic dysfunction. Reframing the ASI as a measure of resilience highlights its potential as a research framework for investigating endocrine-immune adaptation. Standardized ELISA-based protocols, using fixed multi-timepoint daily sampling schemes, supported by LC-MS/MS validation, and the development of composite indices (e.g., cortisol AUC vs. DHEAS trapezoid gradient) may enhance reproducibility and predictive value. If validated in prospective cohorts, the ASI may provide a useful experimental tool for studying systemic adaptation in aging, chronic inflammation, and stress-related disorders. The ASI may provide a framework for investigating interactions between stress and inflammation. By bridging conventional endocrinology with functional perspectives, it may offer a conceptual framework for investigating inflammaging and biological resilience.",

However, the underlying mechanisms of the frailty remain unknown. In this study, a unique population of hyperactive GAL-9high neutrophils is identified with characteristics of elevated ROS, NETs, and IFN-\u03b3, prolonged lifespan, etc. These neutrophils infiltrate into multiple organs to induce injuries, also disrupt the bone marrow microenvironment, drive sustained bone marrow myeloid-biased differentiation, and resist clearance by bone marrow macrophages, serving as a crucial factor to exacerbate frailty. GAL-9 protein is demonstrated to play a vital role in the regulation of neutrophil hyperactivity. EccDNA shedding after skin radiation injury is shown to activate the JAK1/2-STAT1 pathway in splenic GMP cells, which is a potential origin of GAL-9high neutrophils. In summary, our results highlight the significance of the previously unrecognized hyperactive GAL-9high neutrophils to exacerbate frailty through a 'skin-spleen-bone marrow-multiple organs' axis after local radiation injury.",

Despite reperfusion therapies have improved survival, persistent and dysregulated inflammation contributes to adverse remodeling and progression to heart failure. However, the mechanisms by which inflammation is actively terminated and converted into a reparative program in the infarcted heart have not been fully elucidated. Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs)-including lipoxins, resolvins, protectins and maresins-represent a unique class of lipid-derived mediators that regulate the active resolution of inflammation without broadly suppressing host immune defenses like conventional anti-inflammatory drugs. Emerging evidence demonstrates that SPMs can regulate neutrophil clearance, promote efferocytosis, modulate endothelial activation and reprogram cardiac macrophages toward a reparative phenotype. Notably, SPMs signaling interracts with multiple cores signaling networks involved in MI pathology, including the NF-\u03baB, AMPK, Hippo-YAP and JAK/STAT pathways, linking metabolic states and inflammatory signals to structural repair processes. Despite these advances, critical gaps remain regarding the temporal dynamics of SPM biosynthesis after MI, their mechanistic interactions with existing standard therapies, and their clinical translation as biomarkers or therapeutic agents. This review integrates the latest mechanistic and clinical evidence to propose a spatiotemporal specific SPMs-driven cardiac repair framework and highlights how targeting endogenous resolution pathways may complement current MI management. By dissecting key molecular nodes within SPMs signaling, we propose a therapeutic strategy that extend beyond \"inflammation suppression\" to actively restoring myocardial homeostasis.",

Accumulating evidence has indicated that estrogen protects hearts from cardiovascular diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms was not fully elucidated. This present study was designed to investigate the function of GPR30 in pathological heart failure of aged female mice with the focus of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). METHODS: Transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery was performed to induce heart failure in aged female mice. RNA-seq and flow cytometry were employed to study neutrophils activity during heart failure of aged female mice. Heart function and cardiac fibrosis as well as NETs level were assessed. Reduction of NETs by DNase I administration\u3001 G1 treatment and Trex1 overexpression in macrophage were conducted to elucidate the role of NETs in this pathological process. Co-culture of RAW264.7 macrophages and neutrophils were used to examine the function of Trex1 in macrophage. RESULTS: Our bulk RNA-seq analysis showed that neutrophil migration and neutrophil chemotaxis were markedly enhanced at the early stage of pathological cardiac hypertrophy in aged female hearts. We further demonstrated that NETs generated by these activated neutrophils in aged female myocardium at the late stage were significantly increased following TAC surgery accompanied with the reduction of GPR30 expression. GPR30 agonist G1 treatment preserved cardiac function and reduced myocardial fibrosis in aged female mice with heart failure. To further validate the key role of NETs, DNase I administration markedly enhanced cardiac performance and attenuated cardiac fibrosis with the overall neutrophil reduction in the myocardium. Our in vitro results showed that overexpression of Trex1 in RAW264.1 macrophage enhanced neutrophil NETs clearance, thus indicating that GPR30 activation could increase the exonuclease three prime repair exonuclease 1 (Trex1) expression which may be associated with the reduction of NETs level in hypertrophied hearts. CONCLUSION: NETs generated by neutrophils exacerbate pressure overload\u2013induced heart failure in aged female mice. GPR30 activates Trex1 signaling in macrophage to enhance NTEs degradation and thus attenuates TAC-induced cardiac dysfunction, providing an avenue for the novel therapeutics against cardiac dysfunction in postmenopausal women.",

While leukocytes have been previously observed in tears of individuals suffering from ocular allergies, limited knowledge exists on tear PMNs activation. This pilot study aims to investigate the phenotype of tear PMNs collected from participants with seasonal ocular allergy. Ten participants experiencing symptoms of ocular allergy were recruited and age- and gender-matched with 10\u00a0healthy participants. Participants were asked to collect cells using a gentle eyewash protocol immediately following a full night of sleep in the morning on Day 1 and at the end of the day on Day 2. After cell count, tear leukocytes were activated with N-Formyl-Methionyl-Leucyl-Phenylalanine (fMLP) or left unstimulated. Samples were stained with antibodies against degranulation markers (CD66b, CD63), adhesion markers (CD11b, CD54), eosinophil marker (CD193), and aging marker (CD184), and analysed by flow cytometry. Significantly more tear leukocytes were collected after a night of sleep from participants with ocular allergy compared to healthy participants (p\u2009=\u20090.024), while there was no difference in late afternoon collections. Tear PMNs from ocular allergy patients also exhibited a less activated baseline phenotype but a higher activation potential in response to fMLP.

Mouse corneal nerves were ablated via surgery or resiniferatoxin (RTX) to study their role in tissue healing after an alkali burn. CGRP and its receptor levels were quantified by Western blot and quantitative PCR (qPCR). Alkali-burned corneas were treated topically with CGRP or BIBN-4096. Tissue repair, inflammatory cytokine expression, and immune cell infiltration were subsequently assessed. Macrophages were depleted using PLX5622 to evaluate their effect on healing. Furthermore, mouse macrophages and neutrophils were cultured in vitro, and transcriptomic analysis was performed to elucidate functional and molecular alterations, which were validated experimentally. Corneal nerve ablation significantly delayed corneal alkali burns healing. In alkali burns, corneal nerves released CGRP, leading to elevated CGRP levels in the cornea. Topical CGRP application promoted tissue repair and reduced inflammation, whereas its antagonist BIBN-4096 impeded healing. Macrophage depletion not only delayed repair but also abolished the therapeutic effect of CGRP, indicating that macrophages are crucial for CGRP-mediated repair. Mechanistically, CGRP promoted neutrophil apoptosis and enhanced macrophage apoptosis, efferocytosis, and anti-inflammatory functions via the cAMP-TSP-1 pathway, thereby facilitating tissue repair. This study reveals that in corneal alkali burns, corneal nerves promote tissue repair by secreting CGRP to regulate neuro-immune interactions, providing new insights for the treatment of corneal alkali burns.",

To address this, we developed a mussel-inspired microneedle patch (PCA@FeCO MN) by incorporating Fe3(CO)12 into a caffeic acid-grafted polyvinyl alcohol network. This design overcomes existing barriers through a dual-adhesion mechanism: a catechol-metal coordination network for strong chemical bonding and an optimized taper geometry for mechanical interlocking in wet oral tissues. Upon near-infrared irradiation, PCA@FeCO MN activates a photothermal-ferroptosis-gas therapy cascade, synergistically eradicating pathogens. Crucially, this strategy also disrupts the inflammation cycle by steering neutrophils toward function activation, timely apoptosis and boosting macrophage efferocytosis. In both rat and beagle dog models of oral infections, PCA@FeCO MN achieved robust tissue adhesion, highly efficient synergistic antibacterial activity, and precise immunomodulation, demonstrating its promising therapeutic potential for future clinical translation.",

Here, through integrated single-cell and bulk transcriptomic analyses, we identify a distinct macrophage subset characterized by high CCL8 expression (CCL8\u207a macrophages) that accumulates in aged meninges and exhibits a pronounced senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Trajectory analysis positions CCL8\u207a macrophages at a senescence-associated terminal differentiation state. Mechanistically, CCL8\u207a macrophages engage in pro-inflammatory crosstalk with neutrophils via the CCL8-CCR1 axis, promoting aberrant neutrophil recruitment and excessive neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation within meningeal lymphatic niches. These NETs structurally and functionally impair meningeal lymphatic drainage. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of CCR1 with BX471 or enzymatic degradation of NETs with DNase I restores meningeal lymphatic function and ameliorates spatial learning and memory deficits in aged mice. Notably, CCR1 antagonist BX471 has previously been evaluated in early human clinical trials and shown favorable tolerability, supporting the translational feasibility of targeting this pathway. In addition, machine learning approaches identify a robust predictive gene signature associated with this senescent macrophage phenotype. Collectively, our findings reveal a previously unrecognized macrophage-neutrophil-NETs axis that links meningeal immunosenescence to meningeal lymphatic dysfunction and cognitive decline and may represent a promising therapeutic target for aging-related neurodegenerative disorders.",

Bovine serum albumin-epigallocatechin gallate-copper nanoparticles (BEC NPs) were synthesised by coating a bovine serum albumin membrane onto an epigallocatechin gallate-copper-phenolic network. BEC NPs' regulatory impacts on the fate of neutrophils and macrophages were evaluated through immunofluorescence staining, PCR, RNA sequencing and Western blot analysis. Their anti-senescence effects on gingival fibroblasts were assessed using cell migration assays and SA-\u03b2-gal staining, while an experimental periodontitis rat model was established to validate the in\u00a0vitro findings. Accumulating evidence indicated that pH-responsive nanoparticles alleviated periodontal inflamm-ageing through modulation of neutrophil-macrophage crosstalk. Functional analyses revealed that BEC NPs suppressed neutrophil extracellular trap formation via dual mechanisms: reactive oxygen species scavenging to sustain mitochondrial integrity, and actin cytoskeleton stabilisation to inhibit nuclear translocation of neutrophil elastase and myeloperoxidase. In\u00a0vivo assessment demonstrated that BEC NPs exhibited a favourable biosafety profile and significant therapeutic efficacy in suppressing the progression of periodontal inflammation. This study presents a smart nanosystem-based 'endogenous homeostasis reconstruction' strategy, offering\u00a0programmable, early-stage intervention for periodontal inflamm-ageing with considerable clinical translation prospects.",

To address this challenge, we engineered a neutrophil-mediated co-delivery system loaded with a Pt(IV) prodrug (Pt-HPBA) and quercetin (QC). A pH/glutathione (GSH)-dual-responsive nanodrug (Pt-HE@QC/NPs) was constructed via co-assembly of Pt-HPBA and QC. The resulting nanodrugs exhibited high drug loading capacity, maintained excellent colloidal stability under physiological conditions, and rapidly disassembled within the tumor microenvironment, enabling controlled drug release. These nanodrugs were then internalized by neutrophils to form a bio-hybrid delivery system (Pt-HE@QC/NEs). In vitro, Pt-HE@QC/NPs enhanced cellular uptake and exhibited potent cytotoxicity against cisplatin-resistant 4T1/DDP cells. The nanodrug reversed chemoresistance through multiple synergistic mechanisms: inducing mitochondrial dysfunction and reducing intracellular ATP levels to suppress efflux transporter activity; depleting GSH via phenylboronate ester cleavage and Pt(IV) reduction to amplify oxidative stress; and inhibiting GST-\u03c0 and GPX4 activities to potentiate platinum-induced nuclear toxicity. In vivo, Pt-HE@QC/NEs demonstrated superior tumor-targeting capability and achieved remarkable tumor growth inhibition (TGI: 88.7%). Moreover, this treatment alleviated immunosuppression by triggering immunogenic cell death, enhancing CD8+ T cell infiltration, promoting M1 macrophage polarization, and elevating pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Notably, systemic toxicity was significantly reduced compared to free CDDP. Collectively, this neutrophil-driven, dual-responsive nanoplatform represents a promising strategy for overcoming cisplatin resistance in breast cancer.",
        "42148927": "ID: 42148927\nTitle: Beyond first responders: neutrophils shape biomaterial-guided regeneration.\nAbstract: Neutrophils have long been regarded as short-lived effector cells responsible for clearing pathogens and inducing acute inflammation. However, emerging evidence has reshaped this paradigm, revealing remarkable neutrophil plasticity and their capacity to actively orchestrate tissue repair and regeneration. Neutrophils modulate angiogenesis, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, macrophage polarization, and resolution of inflammation. Distinct neutrophil subsets-including pro-inflammatory and pro-resolving phenotypes-have been identified, highlighting their dynamic adaptation to microenvironmental cues. Notably, neutrophils contribute to vascular network formation through the release of matrix metalloproteinases, growth factors, reactive oxygen species (ROS), neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), and specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs). In the context of biomaterial implantation, neutrophils are the first immune cells to interact with implanted devices, critically shaping the foreign body response (FBR) and influencing downstream regenerative outcomes. While early tissue engineering strategies aimed to suppress neutrophil recruitment, recent advances in immunomodulatory biomaterials seek instead to harness their plasticity. Approaches include promoting timely apoptosis and efferocytosis, regulating reactive oxygen species and NET formation, and directing neutrophil polarization toward pro-regenerative phenotypes. This review discusses current insights into neutrophil heterogeneity, their role in vascularization and tissue regeneration, and emerging biomaterial-based strategies designed to modulate neutrophil responses. Understanding and strategically directing neutrophil behavior may represent a pivotal step toward the development of next-generation regenerative therapies.",

Neutrophils contribute to the secondary neuroinflammatory response after TBI. Nevertheless, the biological functions and underlying mechanisms contributing to the age-related heterogeneity of neutrophils in elderly individuals with TBI remain inadequately understood. The study identified a unique neutrophil subpopulation with elevated IL-10 expression, functionally enriched in young TBI tissues. CellChat analysis revealed significant intercellular communication between IL-10+neutrophils and endothelial cells, with elevated expression of Vegfa. GO/KEGG analysis exhibit characteristics associated with reducing inflammatory responses, inhibiting oxidative stress, promoting angiogenesis and tissue remodeling. The IL-10 Ab intervention led to a deterioration in neurological outcomes in young TBI. SCENIC analysis demonstrated that the transcription factor NR2C2 regulates the distinct neutrophils. Transplantation experiments using GFP+ mouse bone marrow indicated that it could be a source of skull bone marrow. Transcriptome sequencing confirmed that phenotypic changes in dHL-60 cells, following NR2C2 overexpression, activate signaling pathways involved in Complement and coagulation cascades Immune, Hematopoietic cell lineage Immune, Jak STAT and Toll like receptor. The regulation of NR2C2 was achieved through siRNA knockdown technology to mitigate the effects of NO-prednisolone. NR2C2 overexpression, induced by NO-prednisolone, leads to the production of IL-10+VEGF-\u03b1+neutrophils in the brain tissue of aged mice with TBI, resulting in improved blood-brain barrier integrity, reduced pathological changes in brain tissue injury, inhibition of neuroinflammation, and significant enhancement of neurobehavioral function. CONCLUSION: This study explored the role of a specific subset of skull-derived IL-10+VEGF-\u03b1+neutrophils in TBI, with an emphasis on age-related immune cell heterogeneity. The findings indicate that these neutrophils exhibit anti-inflammatory and reparative properties, and are associated with the transcription factor NR2C2 and the potential therapeutic agent NO-prednisolone. This research provides potential interventions for treating TBI in the aging population.",

For decades, traditional \"anti-inflammatory\" strategies targeting the inhibition of key pro-inflammatory pathways have repeatedly failed in clinical translation, compelling a fundamental re-evaluation of the biological nature of inflammation. Inflammation is not a process that passively subsides upon stimulus removal but a dynamic one that requires active \"resolution\" through endogenous programs to restore tissue homeostasis. Within this precisely regulated program, a family of endogenous lipid mediators derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids-Specialized Pro-resolving Mediators (SPMs)-act as central executors. This review systematically proposes a translational framework for post-stroke inflammation management, shifting from traditional \"passive anti-inflammation\" to \"active pro-resolution.\" We first delve into the translational challenges and theoretical limitations of conventional anti-inflammatory therapies. Subsequently, we elaborate on the biosynthetic network of SPMs, their major families (lipoxins, resolvins, protectins, and maresins), and their pleiotropic biological functions, including halting neutrophil infiltration, reprogramming macrophage/microglial functions, enhancing the efficiency of apoptotic cell clearance (efferocytosis), and maintaining blood-brain barrier integrity. The central thesis of this review is that a key mechanism underlying the persistent neuropathological deterioration after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion is the failure of the endogenous inflammation resolution program, termed \"resolution dysfunction.\" By integrating mounting clinical evidence with extensive preclinical studies, this review provides a systematic argument for this hypothesis. Exogenous administration of SPMs or their stable analogs has demonstrated significant neuroprotective effects in various animal models, effectively reducing infarct volume and improving functional outcomes. Finally, this review explores the critical challenges in developing SPMs into novel stroke therapies, such as pharmacokinetics, therapeutic windows, and targeted delivery, and poses forward-looking questions for future research in the field. In summary, targeting and restoring the brain's endogenous inflammation resolution programs not only offers a promising new strategy for stroke treatment but also represents a profound practice of a disruptive therapeutic philosophy aimed at promoting the restoration of tissue homeostasis.",

Although its mechanistic basis and disease relevance have been studied in isolation, no review has comprehensively integrated neutrophil efferocytosis mechanisms, their pathophysiological roles across major chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases, and natural product-based therapeutic strategies-a gap this work addresses. We systematically describe the efferocytic recognition cascade, encompassing find-me signals, eat-me signals (including phosphatidylserine and the underappreciated plasminogen/M6P-IGF2R axis), and don't-eat-me checkpoints (CD47-SIRP\u03b1). We clarify that efferocytosis is not restricted to M2-polarized macrophages-M0 and M1 macrophages also participate-but that polarization state critically determines the pro-resolving coupling of downstream signaling. We analyze shared and disease-specific efferocytic defect mechanisms in inflammatory bowel disease, chronic gastritis, NAFLD/NASH, and pancreatitis, identifying IL-10R signaling failure, receptor shedding, CD47 upregulation, and SPM deficiency as convergent pathological nodes. Against this backdrop, we critically evaluate natural product strategies-flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, polysaccharides, and omega-3 fatty acids-targeting these nodes, with explicit grading of evidence levels. Translational challenges and the potential of single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and patient-derived organoid co-culture systems are also discussed.

Senescent cell accumulation-driven by continuous generation and apoptotic resistance-perpetuates plaque pathology and obstructs regression. This study addresses the reversal conundrum through a dual-action strategy: blocking new senescent cell formation while enhancing clearance of existing senescent cells. We developed a ROS-responsive dimeric prodrug (K2A) from the MPO-inhibitory tripeptide KYC, which co-assembles with the senolytics Navitoclax into a nano-Senotherapy (N@K2A). Further cloaked with neutrophil membranes from AS mice, the biomimetic N@K2A@NEM precisely targets plaques, responds to local ROS, and orchestrates senescent cell formation and removal. This targeted senotherapeutic intervention demonstrates effective reversal of established experimental AS, offering a potential solution to the field's most pressing clinical dilemma.",

Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting \u03b22 agonists (LABAs) are cornerstones of COPD therapy, but their effects on efferocytosis and on the COPD-lung cancer interface are incompletely understood. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether the ICS fluticasone propionate and the LABA salmeterol xinafoate, alone or in combination at clinically informed concentrations (10-8-10-6 M; 10-4 M reserved for cytotoxicity screening), modulate efferocytic capacity and inflammatory cell survival across diverse phagocyte models. We performed standardized in vitro efferocytosis assays using murine peritoneal and alveolar macrophages, the murine macrophage line J774A.1, PMA-differentiated human THP-1 macrophages, human blood-derived neutrophils, and the human alveolar adenocarcinoma cell line A549. Apoptosis was induced in Jurkat T cells by UV irradiation (100 mJ/cm2) and in murine thymocytes by dexamethasone (1 \u00b5M, 4 h); apoptotic and necrotic populations were characterized by annexin-V/propidium iodide and Sytox Green/Hoechst H-33342 staining. Peritoneal macrophages showed the highest efferocytic activity (~75%), followed by J774A.1 (~75% at 24 h), THP-1 (~30% at 2 h; ~60% at 24 h), alveolar macrophages (~40%), and A549 cells (<20%). Neither fluticasone nor salmeterol, individually or in combination, significantly altered efferocytic capacity in any phagocyte tested (all ANOVA p > 0.26). Fluticasone (10-8 and 10-6 M) significantly improved 24 h neutrophil survival and reduced early apoptosis (p < 0.05) but did not translate this survival benefit into enhanced efferocytosis. Salmeterol was cytotoxic at 10-4 M and inactive at 10-8-10-6 M. These findings indicate that the established anti-inflammatory benefits of ICS/LABA in COPD do not extend to augmentation of efferocytosis in this acute, serum-free in vitro setting and that pharmacological restoration of efferocytosis in COPD-a defect implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of comorbid lung cancer-will likely require strategies targeting the efferocytic machinery itself (e.g., MerTK, Rac-1, MFG-E8) rather than relying on current inhaled therapy.",

The specific composition of peritoneal cells and intercellular communication remain unelucidated in PF context. Asiaticoside (ASI) possesses anti-fibrotic properties, but its therapeutic effects on PD-related PF and underlying mechanisms stay unclear. To investigate changes in peritoneal cell components and their interactions during PF progression. To explore the pharmacological effects and potential mechanism of ASI against PF. A mouse PF model was induced with high-glucose peritoneal dialysis fluid (PDF). Samples of parietal peritoneum were collected for single-cell RNA sequencing. The intercellular communication network was systematically characterized within the PF microenvironment. Immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, western blotting, qRT-PCR, and ELISA were conducted to elucidate the specific anti-fibrotic mechanisms of ASI. The single-cell RNA sequencing atlas of PD-induced PF comprises 57,032 single cells classified into seven distinct cell types. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) signaling was dysregulated in PF between macrophages and mesothelial cells and regulated mesothelial cell senescence. The accumulation of senescent mesothelial cells and their senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) promoted inflammaging and thereby exacerbated PF. IGF1 supplementation with M2-M\u03c6 supernatants or exogenous IGF1 alleviated mesothelial cell senescence and decreased fibrotic responses in PF mice.

IL-10-expressing regulatory B cells (B10) alleviate the periodontal inflammation and bone loss by secreting IL-10, which can stimulate pro-resolving macrophage differentiation. However, little is known about the dynamic B10-macrophage interaction and the specific B10-induced pro-resolving functions in vivo in periodontitis. This study aimed to determine the dynamic local infiltration of B10 and macrophages, and the B10-induced macrophage differentiation and functions in experimental periodontitis. B10 were adoptively transferred via tail vein injection in a mouse model of experimental periodontitis. In some experiments, macrophages were depleted by intraperitoneal injection of clodronate liposomes. Dynamic gingival infiltration of B10 and macrophages were evaluated by in vivo imaging system (IVIS). The level of bone loss was evaluated by Micro-CT and TRAP staining. Cytokine productions, macrophage efferocytosis and autophagy were assessed by immunohistochemical / immunofluorescence analysis. Production of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) was detected by LC-MS/MS. B10 adoptive transfer inhibited alveolar bone resorption and osteoclast differentiation. B10 adoptive transfer promoted the number of pro-resolving macrophages compared with the control groups. A significant increase in IL-10, Arg-1, and YM-1, ATG5\u207a, LC3B\u207a, CD68\u207aLC3B\u207a, CD68+ATG5+ and CD68\u207aLy6G\u207a cells were detected in gingival tissues following B10 transfer, accompanied by a marked decrease in IL-17\u00a0A, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-1\u03b2 expression. However, the B10-mediated suppression of alveolar bone resorption, osteoclast differentiation, TNF-\u03b1 and IL-1\u03b2 expression, as well as the upregulation of IL-10, ATG5, and LC3B, was attenuated upon macrophage depletion, whereas IL-17\u00a0A expression remained suppressed regardless of the macrophage presence. Notably, B10 adoptive transfer promoted RvD2 release in a macrophage-dependent manner. This study suggested that B10 adoptive transfer inhibited inflammation and bone loss in experimental periodontitis through the induction of macrophage-mediated pro-resolving functions, including RvD2 production, enhanced neutrophil clearance, and induction of macrophage autophagy.",

This dysfunction arises from two key barriers: first, impaired recognition of apoptotic cells due to activation of the CD47-SIRP\u03b1 immune checkpoint; and second, insufficient metabolic processing of apoptotic cell-derived substrates, which limits the capacity for continual efferocytosis. Arg1-mediated arginine metabolism has emerged as a crucial pathway supporting this process. To address these limitations, we created Am@SExo, a dual-functional engineered exosome derived from macrophages that unites checkpoint inhibition with metabolic reprogramming. The vesicles overexpress SIRP\u03b1 on its surface to competitively engage CD47 on apoptotic cells and relieve the inhibitory signal, facilitating initial binding and uptake. Subsequently, it delivers Arg1 mRNA to recipient macrophages, driving an arginine to putrescine program aligned with Rac1 and actin remodeling to sustain successive rounds of clearance. In ApoE-/- mice, systemic administration of Am@SExo significantly reduced necrotic core area, increased fibrous cap thickness, and enhanced features of plaque stability. Together, our findings demonstrate that Am@SExo as a single-platform, dual-phase modulator that restores macrophage continual efferocytosis, offering a promising strategy to resolve inflammation and stabilize atherosclerotic plaques.",

It is often characterized by unresolved inflammation, adverse cardiac remodeling, and tissue damage. Efferocytosis, the process by which phagocytes clear apoptotic cells, is a key process that helps to resolve inflammation and maintain tissue homeostasis. In the healthy heart, efferocytosis ensures the proper removal of apoptotic cardiac cells (e.g., cardiac fibroblasts and cardiomyocytes) and promotes inflammation resolution and secretion of anti-inflammation cytokines. However, emerging evidence suggests that this process is often impaired in patients with heart failure, and as a result leads to chronic inflammation, secondary necrosis, and tissue scarring. This review explores the cellular and molecular processes guiding efferocytosis and how its dysregulation potentially contributes to advanced heart failure. It also explores how factors like macrophage and endothelial cell phenotypes, lipid mediators, and nuclear transcription factors influence the efficiency of efferocytosis in the myocardium. By synthesizing current findings, we propose that restoring efficient efferocytosis in the failing heart may present a promising therapeutic approach to resolving inflammation and improving the outcomes of patients with heart failure.",

However, the stromal-immune crosstalk mechanisms sustaining this pathological state remain poorly defined. Here, transcriptomic analysis identified thrombospondin-1 (Thbs1) as a key upregulated component of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in aged bone mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs). We demonstrate that BMSC-derived Thbs1 drives pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage polarization by suppressing PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy. Mechanistically, Thbs1 binds to the TGF-\u03b2 type II receptor (Tgfbr2) on macrophages to activate Smad3 signaling, which transcriptionally represses the mitophagy regulator Pink1. This repression leads to mitochondrial superoxide accumulation and redox imbalance, thereby skewing macrophages toward an M1-like phenotype. These Thbs1-activated M1 macrophages, in turn, secrete IL-6, which activates the JAK/STAT3 pathway in BMSCs to inhibit osteogenic differentiation. Crucially, activated Stat3 directly binds the Thbs1 promoter, establishing a self-amplifying loop that perpetuates inflammaging and osteogenic decline. In\u00a0vivo, AAV9-mediated Thbs1 knockdown in aged rat bone defects restored mitochondrial homeostasis, promoted an M2 macrophage transition, and significantly enhanced bone repair. Our study reveals a vicious cycle involving the Thbs1/TGF-\u03b2/Smad3/PINK1-IL-6/JAK/STAT3 axis that sustains inflammaging and osteogenic decline, highlighting Thbs1 as a promising therapeutic target for age-related bone regeneration.",

Ferroptosis, characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a critical source of cardiomyocyte death in failing hearts. Importantly, ferroptotic cells release damage-associated molecular patterns and oxidized phospholipids that alter macrophage activation states and perpetuate inflammatory signaling. Under physiological conditions, macrophage-mediated efferocytosis ensures rapid clearance of dying cells and promotes inflammation resolution. In HF, however, excessive cell death burden, redox imbalance, and metabolic stress collectively impair efferocytic capacity. The resulting accumulation of apoptotic and ferroptotic debris reinforces inflammatory activation and extracellular matrix deposition, generating a vicious cycle of injury and fibrosis. Here, we synthesize evidence supporting a ferroptosis-centered immune remodeling loop and define efferocytosis as a regulatory checkpoint in disease progression. We also evaluate emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at interrupting this cycle through iron modulation, antioxidant delivery, metabolic reprogramming, and bioengineered targeting systems. Understanding this integrated axis may uncover novel intervention points for halting HF progression.",

While its pulmonary effects are well established, the mechanisms linking lung inflammation to vascular injury remain unclear. Because neutrophils are early responders to CS-induced inflammation, we hypothesized that they drive systemic myelopoiesis and vascular inflammation via alarmin release. Wild-type mice were exposed to inhaled CS or orally administered cigarette smoke extract. Immune cell composition in lung, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, blood, spleen, and bone marrow was assessed by flow cytometry. Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell proliferation, reactive oxygen species production, and S100A8/A9 (S100 calcium-binding protein A8/A9) release were quantified. Atherosclerosis progression was evaluated in Ldlr-/- (low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient) mice fed a Western diet and treated with cigarette smoke extract. To define the role of neutrophil-derived S100A8/A9, bone marrow transplantation was performed using S100a9-/- or wild-type donors. CS exposure increased circulating monocytes and neutrophils through enhanced bone marrow myelopoiesis and elevated reactive oxygen species-dependent S100A8/A9 release. Oral cigarette smoke extract reproduced these effects, indicating direct activation of neutrophils independent of pulmonary inflammation or lipid changes. In Ldlr-/- mice, cigarette smoke extract accelerated atherosclerosis by promoting infiltration of inflammasome-primed neutrophils, increasing IL-1\u03b2 (interleukin 1 beta) release, and impairing macrophage efferocytosis. Hematopoietic S100a9 deletion normalized myelopoiesis and reduced vascular inflammation and plaque burden. Ingested CS components directly activate neutrophils to release S100A8/A9, triggering myelopoiesis and vascular inflammation. These findings reveal that tobacco's cardiovascular toxicity extends beyond inhalation, implicating oral exposure as a driver of systemic inflammation and atherogenesis.",

Current symptomatic treatments are insufficient to simultaneously suppress oxidative stress and restore immune-mediated clearance of damaged cells. Here, we developed a detachable microneedle patch with ROS-responsive tips (PTC MN) for localized in situ macrophage programming within RIOM lesions. The PTC MN was fabricated from a PPBA-TA-PVA hydrogel matrix, which combines intrinsic ROS-scavenging capacity with oxidative stress triggered degradation, and loaded with engineered hybrid nanovesicles (HLENs-CAR) carrying a plasmid encoding CAR-ectoCRT-IL-4. This design enabled local delivery of gene-loaded nanovesicles, macrophage-targeted genetic programming, and sustained retention of the therapeutic payload in the injured mucosa. In a murine RIOM model, PTC MN accelerated mucosal epithelial regeneration, reduced oxidative stress and inflammatory infiltration, enhanced reparative macrophage responses, and attenuated fibrosis-associated tissue remodeling. Functionally, the platform enhanced macrophage efferocytosis, promoted IL-4-associated reparative polarization, and shifted the lesion microenvironment toward inflammation resolution and tissue regeneration. Collectively, this study establishes a smart in situ immunomodulation strategy that integrates ROS-responsive microneedle delivery with CAR-macrophage programming, providing a potential therapeutic paradigm for refractory mucosal injury.",

Recent advances highlight vascular dendritic cell (DC) activation via TLRs as the initiating event, leading to chemokine-mediated recruitment and polarization of CD4+ T cells mainly into Th1/Th17 subsets. These effector T cells drive monocyte differentiation into pro-inflammatory macrophages and giant cell formation, with subsequent matrix metalloproteinase production causing elastic lamina destruction and vascular remodeling. This vascular remodeling involves activation of endothelial cells, fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells followed by a differentiation in myofibroblast in the intima. Neutrophils may play an underestimated role. Current treatments remain limited to glucocorticoids, methotrexate and tocilizumab though relapse rates remain high. This narrative review synthesizes the DC-T-macrophage-fibroblast cascade and evaluates emerging biologics: abatacept showed phase 2 efficacy but real-world inferiority to tocilizumab; ustekinumab yielded conflicting results across small series; secukinumab failed phase 3 despite promising phase 2 data; anakinra lacked benefit in a truncated trial. In contrast, Mavrilimumab, an anti-GM-CSF-R, is showing promising results. JAK inhibitors such as upadacitinib (a JAK1 inhibitor; SELECT-GCA phase 3) are also promising, having demonstrated superior sustained remission compared with placebo, leading to regulatory approvals in 2025. These findings underscore opportunities to target upstream DC activation, macrophage polarization, and vascular remodeling pathways, potentially transforming GCA management beyond IL-6 inhibition.",

Despite clinical efforts, effective preventive strategies remain limited. In this study, we develope a sprayable, biomimetic nanotherapeutic system - designated Apo-Q - composed of phosphatidylserine (PS)-exposing liposomes encapsulating quercetin (Que@PSLs), inspired by the biological features of apoptotic bodies and prepared by a thin-film hydration-extrusion method. The obtained Apo-Q with the particle size about 140 nm and PS-functionalized surface can be selectively recognized and internalized by macrophages, thereby promoting targeted modulation of the postoperative inflammatory microenvironment. In a mouse model of peritoneal adhesion, Apo-Q promotes macrophage polarization from the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to the reparative M2 phenotype, suppresses inflammatory response, and also prevents pathological accumulation of GATA6+ macrophages at injury sites, significantly reducing adhesion formation and severity. These findings demonstrate that Apo-Q exerts potent anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects probably via a similar mechanism to macrophage efferocytosis, offering a minimally invasive and translationally promising strategy for preventing postoperative peritoneal adhesions.",

Efficient clearance of apoptotic polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) by macrophages, a process known as efferocytosis, is essential for resolving inflammation, promoting tissue repair, and restoring immune homeostasis; however, the molecular mechanisms governing this process remain poorly understood. Here, we identify p120-catenin (p120) as a critical regulator of efferocytosis that promotes the resolution of inflammatory lung injury. In alveolar macrophage-depleted mice challenged with endotoxin, intratracheal instillation of p120-deficient macrophages delayed the resolution of PMN infiltration, protein exudation, and lung edema and injury compared with control macrophages. These changes were accompanied by increased levels of TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6, decreased levels of TGF-\u03b2 and IL-10, and a reduced number of macrophages containing apoptotic PMNs in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. p120 depletion also markedly reduced the phagocytosis of apoptotic PMNs by cultured macrophages. Mechanistically, p120 deficiency decreased the expression of the efferocytic receptors CD36 and Axl and shifted macrophage polarization toward a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype. Furthermore, apoptotic cells induced the association and co-localization of p120 with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-\u03b3 (PPAR\u03b3), whereas p120 deletion markedly reduced PPAR\u03b3 activity in response to apoptotic PMNs. Pharmacologic inhibition of PPAR\u03b3 abolished p120-mediated macrophage efferocytosis and the resolution of lung inflammation. Collectively, these findings establish a central role for p120 in macrophage efferocytosis and inflammatory resolution and suggest that targeting macrophage p120 may represent a novel therapeutic strategy to promote recovery from inflammatory lung injury.",

In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors have significantly improved the survival outcomes of some patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer; however, primary and acquired resistance remain important barriers limiting their clinical efficacy. Research has revealed that structural remodeling of the tumor microenvironment (TME) is one of the key factors involved in immunotherapy resistance. Efferocytosis is an important process by which tumor-associated macrophages clear apoptotic cells. In the lung cancer TME, the high apoptotic cell burden can lead to persistent activation of efferocytosis. Studies have shown that sustained efferocytosis is not merely a process of cellular debris clearance, but can also induce metabolic reprogramming in macrophages, including dysregulated lipid metabolism and enhanced glycolysis, and promote the secretion of immunosuppressive and tissue-repair-related factors. These changes further promote pathological angiogenesis, activation of cancer-associated fibroblasts, and excessive extracellular matrix deposition, thereby driving structural remodeling of the TME and forming an immune-excluded microenvironment characterized by vascular abnormalities and stromal fibrosis. This process restricts effector T-cell infiltration and impairs the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors. This review describes the molecular mechanisms of macrophage efferocytosis in the lung cancer TME, focusing on its regulatory roles in metabolic reprogramming, pathological angiogenesis, and stromal fibrosis, and discusses potential therapeutic strategies targeting efferocytosis-related signaling pathways and TME structural remodeling, aiming to provide new insights into overcoming immunotherapy resistance in lung cancer.\u2029. \u3010\u4e2d\u6587\u9898\u76ee\uff1a\u5de8\u566c\u7ec6\u80de\u80de\u846c\u9a71\u52a8\u80ba\u764c\u5fae\u73af\u5883\u7ed3\u6784\u91cd\u5851\u2029\u4e0e\u8840\u7ba1\u751f\u6210\u7684\u673a\u5236\u53ca\u4e34\u5e8a\u5e72\u9884\u524d\u666f\u3011 \u3010\u4e2d\u6587\u6458\u8981\uff1a\u80ba\u764c\u662f\u5168\u7403\u53d1\u75c5\u7387\u548c\u6b7b\u4ea1\u7387\u5747\u5c45\u9996\u4f4d\u7684\u6076\u6027\u80bf\u7624\u3002\u8fd1\u5e74\u6765\u514d\u75ab\u68c0\u67e5\u70b9\u6291\u5236\u5242\u663e\u8457\u6539\u5584\u4e86\u90e8\u5206\u665a\u671f\u975e\u5c0f\u7ec6\u80de\u80ba\u764c\u60a3\u8005\u7684\u751f\u5b58\u9884\u540e\uff0c\u4f46\u4ecd\u6709\u76f8\u5f53\u6bd4\u4f8b\u60a3\u8005\u5b58\u5728\u539f\u53d1\u6027\u6216\u7ee7\u53d1\u6027\u514d\u75ab\u8010\u836f\u3002\u80bf\u7624\u5fae\u73af\u5883\uff08tumor microenvironment, TME\uff09\u7ed3\u6784\u91cd\u5851\u88ab\u8ba4\u4e3a\u662f\u5f71\u54cd\u514d\u75ab\u6cbb\u7597\u7597\u6548\u7684\u91cd\u8981\u56e0\u7d20\u3002\u80de\u846c\u662f\u80bf\u7624\u76f8\u5173\u5de8\u566c\u7ec6\u80de\uff08tumor-associated macrophages, TAMs\uff09\u6e05\u9664\u51cb\u4ea1\u7ec6\u80de\u7684\u91cd\u8981\u8fc7\u7a0b\uff0c\u5728\u7ef4\u6301\u708e\u75c7\u6d88\u9000\u548c\u7ec4\u7ec7\u7a33\u6001\u7684\u540c\u65f6\uff0c\u53ef\u8bf1\u5bfc\u5de8\u566c\u7ec6\u80de\u53d1\u751f\u663e\u8457\u7684\u4ee3\u8c22\u91cd\u7f16\u7a0b\u53ca\u5206\u6ccc\u8c31\u6539\u53d8\u3002\u6301\u7eed\u6d3b\u5316\u7684\u80de\u846c\u4f5c\u7528\u901a\u8fc7\u8c03\u63a7\u8102\u8d28\u4ee3\u8c22\u548c\u7cd6\u9175\u89e3\u7b49\u4ee3\u8c22\u9014\u5f84\uff0c\u4fc3\u8fdb\u591a\u79cd\u514d\u75ab\u6291\u5236\u53ca\u7ec4\u7ec7\u4fee\u590d\u56e0\u5b50\u7684\u5206\u6ccc\uff0c\u4ece\u800c\u9a71\u52a8\u5f02\u5e38\u8840\u7ba1\u751f\u6210\u3001\u6fc0\u6d3b\u80bf\u7624\u76f8\u5173\u6210\u7ea4\u7ef4\u7ec6\u80de\u5e76\u4fc3\u8fdb\u7ec6\u80de\u5916\u57fa\u8d28\u6c89\u79ef\uff0c\u5bfc\u81f4\u80bf\u7624\u57fa\u8d28\u7ed3\u6784\u91cd\u5851\uff0c\u5f62\u6210\u514d\u75ab\u6392\u65a5\u578bTME\uff0c\u9650\u5236\u6548\u5e94T\u7ec6\u80de\u6d78\u6da6\u5e76\u964d\u4f4e\u514d\u75ab\u6cbb\u7597\u7597\u6548\u3002\u672c\u6587\u7efc\u8ff0\u80de\u846c\u4f5c\u7528\u5728TME\u4e2d\u7684\u5206\u5b50\u673a\u5236\uff0c\u91cd\u70b9\u9610\u8ff0\u5176\u5728\u4ee3\u8c22\u91cd\u7f16\u7a0b\u3001\u8840\u7ba1\u751f\u6210\u5f02\u5e38\u53ca\u57fa\u8d28\u7ea4\u7ef4\u5316\u4e2d\u7684\u4f5c\u7528\uff0c\u5e76\u63a2\u8ba8\u9776\u5411\u80de\u846c\u76f8\u5173\u4fe1\u53f7\u901a\u8def\u53caTME\u7ed3\u6784\u91cd\u5851\u7684\u6f5c\u5728\u6cbb\u7597\u7b56\u7565\uff0c\u5e76\u8fdb\u4e00\u6b65\u63a2\u8ba8\u80de\u846c\u76f8\u5173\u6307\u6807\u5728\u514d\u75ab\u68c0\u67e5\u70b9\u6291\u5236\u5242\u7597\u6548\u9884\u6d4b\u7684\u6f5c\u5728\u4ef7\u503c\uff0c\u4ee5\u671f\u4e3a\u80ba\u764c\u514d\u75ab\u6cbb\u7597\u8010\u836f\u7684\u7cbe\u51c6\u5e72\u9884\u63d0\u4f9b\u65b0\u7684\u7814\u7a76\u601d\u8def\u3002\u2029\u3011 \u3010\u4e2d\u6587\u5173\u952e\u8bcd\uff1a\u80ba\u80bf\u7624\uff1b\u5de8\u566c\u7ec6\u80de\uff1b\u80de\u846c\uff1b\u80bf\u7624\u5fae\u73af\u5883\uff1b\u4ee3\u8c22\u91cd\u7f16\u7a0b\uff1b\u8840\u7ba1\u751f\u6210\u3011.",
        "42297820": "ID: 42297820\nTitle: Efferocytosis of apoptotic bodies drives SARS-CoV-2 infection and macrophage inflammation.\nAbstract: SARS-CoV-2 typically utilises host receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) for viral entry. Despite low ACE2 expression, monocyte-derived macrophages, the predominant lung macrophage during severe COVID-19, are often found with SARS-CoV-2 in infected lungs. As macrophage inflammation and cytokine storm are key immunopathological events that drive severe COVID-19, insights into mechanisms underlying viral entry into macrophages are critical to devise novel COVID-19 therapies. Mounting evidence supports that COVID-19 pathogenesis is associated with apoptosis, a type of programmed cell death which releases large extracellular vesicles called apoptotic bodies (ApoBDs). Here, we show that ApoBDs from SARS-CoV-2-infected cells carried infectious virions. Macrophages efferocytose these ApoBDs, enabling SARS-CoV-2 entry and pro-inflammatory responses including inflammasome and NF-\u03baB signalling. To demonstrate targetability of this ApoBD efferocytosis-mediated viral entry, we screen for inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2-induced ApoBD formation and identified T-type voltage-gated calcium channel (T-channel) blockers. Mechanistically, T-channel blockers impair the extracellular calcium influxes required for ApoBD biogenesis. Importantly, blockade of ApoBD formation by T-channel blockers is able to limit cell-to-cell viral transmission, macrophage inflammation and lung immunopathology. Our discovery reveals a novel route for SARS-CoV-2 infection and cytokine storm induction, expanding our understanding of COVID-19 pathogenesis and demonstrating a therapeutic target for infectious diseases.",

During remodeling, repair, and disease, dying osteoclasts, osteoblast-lineage cells, osteocytes, mesenchymal stem/stromal cells, and injury-associated cells release apoptotic bodies (ABs) that retain parent-cell-derived cargo and surface ligands. These vesicles are increasingly viewed not only as debris for efferocytic clearance but also as source-specific signalling units that shape skeletal cell fate, immune activity, mineralization, and repair. This review integrates current evidence for ABs across skeletal homeostasis and disease. We first define ABs within the broader extracellular vesicle landscape, emphasizing vesicle heterogeneity, isolation and characterization challenges, and terminology boundaries. We then examine AB sources and recipient interfaces, including osteoclasts, osteoblast-lineage cells, osteocytes, mesenchymal stem/stromal cells, platelet-derived ABs in injury repair, macrophages, osteoclast phagocytes, chondrocytes, and bone lining cells. We further discuss how dysregulated AB signalling contributes to osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and bone metastasis, as well as alveolar bone destruction, aging-related bone loss, osteochondral mineralization, and bone injury repair. We highlight therapeutic implications, including AB-based or AB-inspired strategies, the cathepsin K (CTSK)-responsive self-assembling peptide nanoparticle OsteoSAVE for in vivo generation of osteoclast-derived ABs, and the hypothesis that antiresorptive therapies may reshape osteoclast-derived AB (OC-AB) production. We also identify unresolved translational questions, including AB lifespan, circulation, source attribution, and direct human validation.",

Although ERK1/2 activation is well established for driving pro-inflammatory responses, accumulating evidence systematically summarized in this review demonstrates that ERK1/2 activation can also exert potent anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving effects. At the cellular level, ERK1/2 activation mediates anti-inflammatory regulation through multiple coordinated mechanisms: It promotes activation-induced cell death in T cells, drives macrophages and microglia toward anti-inflammatory phenotypes while fine-tuning their phagocytic activity, enhances efferocytosis of apoptotic cells by myeloid cells to drive inflammation resolution, inhibits dendritic cell maturation, and induces production of the key anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. At the molecular signaling pathway level, ERK1/2 suppresses pro-inflammatory NF-\u03baB activity by stabilizing I\u03baB\u03b1, directly interacting with NF-\u03baB p65 subunit, or activating PPAR\u03b3 in both immune cells and tissue-resident cells. In addition, ERK1/2 exerts anti-inflammatory effects through the Nrf2/HO-1 axis, which negatively regulates NF-\u03baB. Further anti-inflammatory axes include the ERK1/2/CREB pathway and the FPR2/ERK1/2 pro-resolving signaling cascade. Other anti-inflammatory mechanisms include the ERK1/2/sCD14 axis that neutralizes LPS, ERK1/2-induced autophagy, and anti-inflammatory signaling triggered by diverse upstream regulators of ERK1/2. This review systematically consolidates the anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving effects of ERK1/2 activation and the underlying molecular mechanisms involved. These findings provide robust evidence that ERK1/2 activation can promote anti-inflammatory and inflammation-resolving responses and refine our understanding of the dual role of ERK1/2 as a \"double-edged sword\" in the regulation of inflammation.",

Efferocytosis, the phagocytic clearance of apoptotic cells by macrophages and dendritic cells, is essential for inflammation resolution and tissue repair. Defective efferocytosis has been increasingly implicated in the progression of diabetes and several of its major complications, including atherosclerosis, nephropathy, retinopathy, impaired wound healing, and osteoporosis. This narrative review is prepared through a focused literature search of studies investigating efferocytosis in diabetes, elucidates how its disruption contributes to the progression of diabetic complications, and further highlight emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at regulating efferocytosis. This paper is expected to provide direction and outlook for the research on efferocytosis and diabetes. Efferocytosis regulation involves a coordinated cascade of find-me signals, engulfment receptors, intracellular cytoskeletal remodeling, and metabolic reprogramming. This review summarizes the key molecular changes of defective efferocytosis and pathological changes in diabetic complications. Importantly, emerging preclinical studies have demonstrated that restoring efferocytosis ameliorate inflammation, promote tissue regeneration, and interrupt the progression of diabetic complications. Efferocytosis not only illuminates fundamental aspects of immune regulation but also opens up new therapeutic possibilities. As the field continues to evolve, integrating efferocytosis-based interventions into the broader therapeutic landscape of diabetes may represent a paradigm shift in the management of its chronic complications.",

In autoimmune liver diseases like primary sclerosing cholangitis, cell death is thought to result from accumulation of toxic bile acids within parenchymal cells. Whether, in this context, bile acid-loaded dying cells impact the efficiency of phagocytic macrophages in restoring tissue balance remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that in a murine model of cholangitis, bile acids accumulate in a subpopulation of efferocytic macrophages with pro-inflammatory features. Our in vitro results indicate that, upon their engulfment, apoptotic hepatocytes laden with bile acids can serve as Trojan horses, delivering bile acids into efferocytic macrophages and thereby shaping macrophage function. This contrasts with the characteristics of macrophages that engulf apoptotic parenchymal cells lacking bile acids. Together, our findings delineate a system in which the content of the phagocytosed dying cells, specifically bile acid-laden hepatocytes, drives a pro-inflammatory program in the corresponding efferocytic macrophages, potentially contributing to chronic hepatic inflammation.",

Physical activity functions as a controlled metabolic stressor that reprograms immune cell metabolism-shifting macrophages from glycolytic M1 to oxidative M2 phenotypes, expanding regulatory T cells through fatty acid oxidation and ketone body signaling, and modulating neutrophils, NK cells, and B cells via lactate, succinate, itaconate, ROS, NAD\u207a, and gut-derived SCFAs. These metabolic shifts regulate immune cell polarization, efferocytosis, cytokine profiles, and growth factor release (IGF-1, amphiregulin, GDF-15), creating an optimal regenerative niche for satellite cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation in muscle while supporting bone remodeling through mechanosensory osteocyte signaling and osteokine secretion (osteocalcin, sclerostin, RANKL/OPG). Distinct exercise modalities generate characteristic immune-metabolic signatures: aerobic training promotes sustained oxidative phosphorylation and anti-inflammatory tolerance beneficial for both muscle and bone; resistance training induces controlled glycolytic bursts followed by anabolic M2 polarization, muscle hypertrophy, and improved bone microarchitecture; HIIT generates oscillatory stress that trains innate immune memory and enhances muscle-bone resilience. Energy-sensing pathways (AMPK, mTOR, HIF-1\u03b1, SIRT1/3, PGC-1\u03b1) and metabolite checkpoints integrate mechanical loading with immune and endocrine signals to balance pro-regenerative inflammation with timely resolution across the musculoskeletal system. Clinically, this framework enables precision rehabilitation protocols based on immune metabolic phenotyping, lactate kinetics, and skeletal imaging (BMD, microarchitecture) to optimize outcomes in sarcopenia, osteosarcopenia, postoperative recovery, chronic inflammatory diseases, cancer cachexia, and post-viral syndromes. Exercise-induced immune metabolic remodeling thus serves as a master regulator of muscle-bone-immune coupling, offering a mechanism-driven foundation for next-generation rehabilitation medicine that enhances tissue repair, bone quality, and systemic homeostasis.",
        "42335653": "ID: 42335653\nTitle: Fatty acid-binding protein 5 deficiency impairs alveolar macrophage function and metabolism.\nAbstract: Macrophages are large mononuclear immune cells that participate in host protection, not only by phagocytosing foreign or infected cells and initiating inflammatory responses, but also by contributing to the resolution of inflammation. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is characterized by increased numbers of macrophages in lung tissue, with altered engulfment capabilities. However, the molecular pathways leading to macrophage dysfunction in COPD remain unclear. Using integrated genetics and genomics approaches, we previously identified Fatty Acid Binding Protein 5 (FABP5) as a key target in the resolution of airway inflammation that exhibits decreased expression in COPD patients. The objective is to define the significance of alveolar macrophage FABP5 by comparing the resolution of inflammation in WT and Fabp5-/- mice following nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) infection or LPS sterile inflammation. Immune and metabolic responses were analyzed using functional assays, flow cytometry, ELISA, cell metabolic profiling and tracing, as well as ATAC-seq. Fabp5-/- mice exhibited impaired efferocytosis, reflected by a reduction of apoptotic cell engulfment by alveolar macrophages. This was accompanied by a reduction in fatty acid uptake and fatty acid \u03b2-oxidation, a reduction in mitochondrial respiration, an accumulation of TCA cycle and glycolysis metabolites, and an increased chromatin accessibility for AP-1 family members. Fabp5-deficient alveolar macrophages failed to initiate reparative metabolic programming, which is critical for the resolution of inflammation. Our data suggest that increasing FABP5 expression could provide a metabolic switch that facilitates macrophage conversion to a pro-resolving phenotype and restores alveolar macrophage efferocytic functions in the lungs of COPD patients.",

G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are widely regarded as promising drug targets, however, the roles of non-chemokine GPCRs in acute liver injury remain poorly defined. In this study, we analyzed three GEO datasets related to acute liver injury and identified Sucnr1, encoding GPR91, as a key regulator. We aimed to reveal the role of GPR91 in acute liver injury and to elucidate the underlying mechanism. Sucnr1-knockout (Sucnr1-KO) mice were generated and treated by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) with or without succinate co-administration. The role of GPR91 was investigated in the acute and resolution stages of liver injury at 24\u00a0h and 72\u00a0h after CCl4 injection, respectively. Confocal microscopy and flow cytometry were conducted to examine the involvement of GPR91 in regulating macrophage efferocytosis, in vitro. Macrophage-enriched Sucnr1 decreased sharply in the acute phase but recovered gradually in the resolution phase. In contrast, succinate, the endogenous GPR91 ligand, surged acutely and, subsequently, exhibited a gradual decline. In vivo data from multiple models demonstrated that Sucnr1 deficiency significantly alleviated CCl4-induced inflammation and injury in the acute stage and promoted injury resolution in the resolution stage, while succinate administration itself had no significant effect. Moreover, in vitro data revealed that Sucnr1-knockout (Sucnr1-KO) macrophages manifested lower expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and higher ability of efferocytosis, accompanied by higher expression of PPAR\u03b3. However, the enhanced efferocytosis in macrophages of Sucnr1-KO mice was decreased by in vitro treatment of GW9662, a specific inhibitor of PPAR\u03b3. In addition, adenylate cyclase inhibitor SQ22536 could decrease the over-expression of PPAR\u03b3, and the enhanced efferocytosis in Sucnr1-KO macrophages. Our work has revealed that macrophage-enriched GPR91 plays a vital role in controlling the inflammation and efferocytosis of macrophage, providing a potential therapeutic target for acute liver injury and liver failure.",

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), web-like extracellular DNA-protein structures released by activated neutrophils, can act as structural inflammatory scaffolds that sustain sterile inflammation, oxidative injury, and microenvironmental imbalance. However, the mechanistic contribution and translational significance of NETs in osteoporosis remain incompletely integrated. This review aims to summarize the current evidence linking NET formation to bone remodeling imbalance in osteoporosis, with particular emphasis on osteoclast activation, osteoblast dysfunction, inflammaging, oxidative stress, ferroptosis, metabolic reprogramming, and potential NET-targeted therapeutic strategies. We reviewed recent studies concerning NET biology, osteoimmunology, inflammaging, and inflammation-associated osteoporosis. Based on these findings, we constructed an integrated \"NETs-inflammation-bone remodeling imbalance\" framework to explain how persistent NET accumulation may promote osteoclastogenesis, impair osteogenic differentiation, amplify inflammatory feedback loops, and reshape the bone microenvironment. We also discussed the potential clinical relevance of neutrophil-related inflammatory indicators and NET-specific biomarkers. Persistent NET formation and insufficient NET clearance under inflammaging conditions may contribute to a self-sustaining inflammatory-oxidative network in the bone microenvironment. NET-derived extracellular DNA, histones, neutrophil elastase, myeloperoxidase, and citrullinated proteins may activate pattern-recognition receptor pathways, including TLR4/NF-\u03baB and potentially TLR9- and TLR2-related signaling, thereby enhancing RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis and suppressing osteoblast differentiation and survival. In parallel, NETs may amplify oxidative stress, disturb iron homeostasis, promote ferroptosis susceptibility, and induce metabolic reprogramming, collectively shifting bone remodeling toward bone resorption. Targeting NET formation, promoting NET degradation, or blocking NET-related inflammatory and oxidative signaling may provide new therapeutic opportunities for inflammation-driven osteoporosis. Nevertheless, the NETs-ferroptosis-metabolic reprogramming axis in osteoporosis should currently be regarded as a promising mechanistic framework that requires further experimental and clinical validation.",

Although a myriad of reviews have extensively categorized hydrogel dressings, most remain confined to passive material classifications and isolated phenotypic targets. To bridge this gap, this review delineates an integrated \"hydrogel engineering-immunometabolic regulation-tissue regeneration\" framework. We redefine hydrogels as \"intelligent bioreactors\" that actively construct a \"pro-healing niche,\" dissecting the underlying mechano-metabolic crosstalk (e.g., VASP/HIF-1\u03b1 and mTOR signaling). Furthermore, we elucidate the interventional mechanisms of diverse hydrogel strategies-including externally triggered, dynamically responsive, nanocomposite, and mechanically programmed platforms-across four critical pathways: glycolysis, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and oxidative stress. Crucially, by extracting raw healing data to calculate relative improvement rates and daily relative improvement rates, we quantitatively benchmark the discrepancies in healing kinetics among distinct strategies. Building upon this, we propose scenario-oriented clinical selection pathways: prioritizing near-infrared (NIR)-responsive or photocatalytic hydrogels for severely hypoxic DFUs, and recommending ultrasound-driven sequential \"sterilization-then-antioxidation\" hydrogels for neuropathic ulcers complicated by multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. Additionally, via precise metabolic reprogramming, these tailored hydrogels actively drive macrophage repolarization, restore T cell subset balance, and enhance dendritic cell efferocytosis. Finally, by integrating biomarker-driven standardized evaluations, GMP-compliant scale-up engineering, and AI-assisted modular production platforms, this review outlines a step-by-step clinical translational roadmap. This strategic roadmap aims to bridge the gap between laboratory prototypes and personalized precision medicine, ultimately providing a comprehensive blueprint for next-generation metabolic therapeutics in chronic wound management.",

This study employs single-nuclei RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) to profile 46,233 cardiac nuclei from the experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) mouse model at four timepoints: day 0 (healthy), day 14 (inflammation), day 21 (acute inflammation), and day 40 (late cardiac remodelling). Single-nuclei RNA profiling identified 18 transcriptionally distinct cell populations. Global cell-cell communication analysis revealed a dramatic peak of intercellular signalling at day 14 (5907 interactions), with fibroblast subpopulations and macrophages as dominant hubs, followed by partial resolution at day 21 (2264 interactions) and renewed remodelling at day 40 (4862 interactions). Subclustering of the macrophage compartment identified five subpopulations: Mac-TLF, Mac-MHCII, Mac-rMHCII, Mac-ResL, and Classical Monocytes. Tissue-resident macrophages (Mac-TLF, CCR2-) dominated at healthy state (~55%) but were rapidly depleted at day 14, coinciding with a dramatic influx of recruited CCR2+ macrophages (Mac-rMHCII), which expanded to over 70% of the compartment and maintained dominance through day 40. At inflammation (day 14), the expanded Mac-rMHCII subpopulation displayed a strongly pro-inflammatory signature (Il1b, Stat2, Parp14, Apoe), and the overall macrophage compartment was enriched for cytokine response, Fc-gamma receptor, and Notch signalling pathways, while downregulating homeostatic and mitochondrial metabolic programmes, potentially contributing to impaired efferocytosis and cardiomyocyte dysfunction. Macrophage-centred communication networks expanded markedly at day 14 (1047 interactions), with resting fibroblasts (FB-R) as the primary signalling partner, driving pro-inflammatory stromal activation marked by upregulation of Ccl2, Ccl7, and Csf2. Intra-macrophage subcluster communication also intensified at this timepoint (447 interactions). These findings delineate the temporal and functional heterogeneity of cardiac macrophages during EAM progression and identify key immune-stromal interactions driving pathological cardiac remodelling. The coexistence of pro-inflammatory and transitional reparative macrophage subsets highlights the limitations of broad immunosuppression and supports precision strategies targeting CCR2-mediated recruitment, the SPP1 signalling axis, and macrophage-fibroblast crosstalk as therapeutic avenues in myocarditis and its progression.",

Early prognostic stratification remains challenging, as current biomarkers lack sufficient specificity and sensitivity, underscoring the urgent need for novel prognosis-related indicators. We integrated bulk transcriptomic data from a discovery cohort (GSE205672) and an independent validation cohort (GSE133822) with single-cell RNA-seq profiles of early- and late-stage sepsis (GSE167363, GSE175453). WGCNA and five consensus machine-learning algorithms were combined to screen core efferocytosis-associated genes, and expression was validated via qPCR in PBMCs from sepsis patients and CLP-induced septic mice. ADAP2 was identified as the core gene achieving strict consensus across all five algorithms, with early upregulation and late depletion in sepsis, predominant expression in monocytes/macrophages-particularly M1-like and IFN-responsive subsets-and a significant correlation with efferocytosis scores and immune cell infiltration. Its expression was negatively correlated with sepsis severity (SOFA score) and showed a trend toward worse survival in patients with low ADAP2 levels. This multi-dimensional transcriptomic study establishes ADAP2 as a candidate biomarker with potential prognostic value in sepsis, closely linked to macrophage efferocytosis. These findings may aid early risk stratification and inform macrophage-directed immunotherapies, although prospective validation and functional studies are required.",

Our previous study showed that mitochondrial fission protein dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) promotes reparative polarization and metabolic reprogramming in macrophages and post-ischemic neovascularization. However, the redox-dependent mechanism governing DRP1 activation in this context remains elusive. Here, using a mouse hindlimb ischemia (HLI) model of PAD, we identify cysteine sulfenylation (CysOH) of DRP1 as a critical redox modification induced in ischemic bone marrow (BM)-derived cells. BM chimeric mice reconstituted with CRISPR/Cas9-generated \"redox-dead\" DRP1-C631A knock-in mutant (Drp1C/A) BM exhibited markedly reduced limb perfusion recovery and CD31+ capillary density in ischemic muscles following HLI. These defects were associated with enhanced Ly6G+ neutrophil accumulation, pro-inflammatory F4/80+CD80+ M1-like macrophages and reduced anti-inflammatory F4/80+CD206+ M2-like macrophages in ischemic muscle. Mechanistically, using an in vitro PAD model, hypoxia serum starvation (HSS) rapidly induced NADPH oxidase 2-dependent cytosolic ROS production and DRP1-CysOH formation in wild-type macrophages. In contrast, Drp1C/A macrophages failed to undergo DRP1-CysOH-dependent mitochondrial fission under HSS, resulting in aberrant metabolic reprogramming characterized by enhanced glycolysis and mitochondrial ROS, pro-inflammatory p-NF-\u03baB and M1-genes, and suppressed anti-inflammatory p-AMPK, efferocytosis and M2-genes. Thus, our findings establish DRP1 sulfenylation as a previously unrecognized redox-sensing mechanism that links ischemia-induced ROS to reparative macrophage reprogramming and revascularization, identifying a novel therapeutic target for PAD.",

While peripheral neuropathy is a common comorbidity, whether sensory dysfunction contributes to uncontrolled inflammation in diabetes is poorly understood. Here, within diabetic bone defects, we show that diminished sensory innervation is coupled with disrupted immune dynamics, characterized by both delayed neutrophil chemotaxis and abnormal neutrophil retention that resulted from impaired macrophage efferocytosis. Therefore, we design a chocolate chip cookie-like scaffold, in which the surface-embedded microspheres function as \"chips\" enabling burst interleukin-8 (IL-8) release, while the surrounding matrix provides sustained nerve growth factor release from silk fibroin matrix. Timely neutrophil chemotaxis induced by IL-8 triggers bone healing via stem cell recruitment, which is reinforced by sensory innervation by inducing neutrophil N2 polarization. Notably, macrophages preferentially established intimate physical proximity to outgrowing neurites to form a synapse-like structure, where they restore efferocytosis driven by neuronal Galectin-3. Moreover, spatiotemporally regulating neuroimmune circuit enhances mandibular bone regeneration in diabetic rats, highlighting the therapeutic potential of neuroimmune interaction in programming diabetic inflammation resolution.",

In cardiometabolic settings such as obesity, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, and atherosclerosis, chronic exposure to excess free fatty acids and toxic lipid species, such as ceramides, disrupts organelle integrity, impairs efferocytosis, and skews macrophages toward pro-inflammatory phenotypes. This review examines how macrophages channel fatty acids into \u03b2-oxidation, glycerolipid synthesis and storage, sphingolipid production, and polyunsaturated fatty acid-derived lipid mediator biosynthesis to shape the balance among metabolic adaptation, inflammatory activation, resolution, and lipid-induced dysfunction. We also highlight lipin-1 as a regulatory node at a key branchpoint in macrophage lipid metabolism. By linking glycerolipid synthesis, lipid storage, mitochondrial metabolism, and inflammatory signaling, lipin-1 illustrates how lipid routing can influence macrophage function in cardiometabolic disease.",

In this narrative review, we use selected skin diseases to discuss a receptor-centered view of macrophage function and to illustrate a modular \"receptor-pathway-effector\" framework. This perspective places macrophage receptors at the upstream sensing level, where microbial products, tissue damage signals, cytokines, immune complexes, stromal cues, and tumor-derived signals are translated into inflammatory, reparative, fibrotic, or immunosuppressive programs. We summarize representative receptor modules, including pattern-recognition receptors, cytokine and chemokine receptors, Fc and complement receptors, scavenger and efferocytosis receptors, and inhibitory checkpoint receptors. Across psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, autoimmune blistering diseases, lupus, systemic sclerosis, sarcoidosis, leprosy, melanoma, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, diabetic wounds, and radiation-induced skin injury, these modules help explain macrophage involvement in inflammation, remodeling, host defense, impaired repair, and tumor immune escape. We also discuss selected biomarker and therapeutic examples, while distinguishing clinically explored approaches from preclinical or emerging concepts. This receptor-centered perspective may complement existing views of macrophage heterogeneity and provide a clearer way to link receptor signals with disease-related macrophage functions.",

This systematic review followed the PRISMA 2020 statement. PubMed and Web of Science Core Collection were searched from inception to March 6, 2026. We included original human, animal, and cellular studies on asthma that investigated macrophage phagocytic function and reported related molecular mechanisms. Two independent reviewers performed screening, data extraction, and quality assessment. Due to substantial heterogeneity across studies, a narrative synthesis approach was used to integrate the evidence. A total of 37 studies, published between 1982 and 2025, were ultimately included. Overall, macrophage phagocytic function in asthma is characterized by aberrations dependent on clinical phenotype, phagocytic substrate, and the microenvironment. Based on the included studies, the relevant mechanisms were categorized into eight categories: dysregulation of phagocytic receptor signaling; defects at various stages of efferocytosis; immunometabolic reprogramming; aberrant signal transduction; regulation by immunomodulatory factors; acquired alterations in cellular function; circadian clock regulation; and other unclassified mechanisms. Phagocytic aberrations in macrophages in asthma represent a complex process driven by a multi-layered, interconnected molecular network. These aberrations contribute to the persistence of chronic airway inflammation, increased susceptibility to infection, elevated risk of acute exacerbations, and the development of severe or refractory asthma. Systematic integration of these mechanisms enhances the understanding of innate immune dysfunction in asthma and provides a theoretical basis for developing therapeutic strategies targeting macrophage phagocytic function. https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD420261332569.",

Palatal wound healing was compared between young and aged mice. We assessed the change of neutrophil infiltration, NETs formation, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in mucosa using immunohistochemistry, RNA sequencing, and flow cytometry. In\u00a0vitro co-culture assays evaluated NETs' effects on fibroblast function and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. The therapeutic potential of NETs-NLRP3 clearance was tested in\u00a0vivo with DNase1 and MCC950. To validate clinical relevance, human single-cell RNA sequencing data were further analyzed. Aged mice exhibited delayed oral wound healing, characterized by increased neutrophil recruitment and a heightened propensity for fibrin-induced NETs formation. NETs activated the NLRP3 inflammasome in mucosal fibroblasts, suppressing their proliferation and migration. Notably, targeting NETs-NLRP3 inflammasome reduced inflammation and accelerated wound closure in the aged group. Corresponding human data further revealed increased NETs-associated neutrophil subsets and enriched NLRP3 pathways in aged oral mucosa. Our findings demonstrate that enhanced NETs formation and subsequent NLRP3 inflammasome impair wound healing in aged oral mucosa. Targeting NETs-NLRP3 thus represents a promising therapeutic strategy to improve mucosal repair.",

However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate macrophage lipid accumulation, phenotype, efferocytic capacity, and atherosclerosis are incompletely understood. Our preliminary studies revealed increased expression of LGR4 (leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 4) in human atherosclerotic arteries. Additional experiments demonstrated increased LGR4 levels in atherogenic oxidized low-density lipoprotein-treated macrophages. However, the macrophage-specific role of LGR4 in atherogenesis has never been investigated. To investigate the role of myeloid cell Lgr4 in atherosclerosis development, myeloid cell-specific Lgr4 knockout (Lgr4f/f LysM Cre+/-, Lgr4\u0394M) and littermate control Lgr4f/f (Lgr4WT) mice were injected intraperitoneally with adeno-associated viral vector (serotype 8) for hPCSK9 and fed a Western diet for 16 weeks. Various in vitro cell-based assays, molecular biology techniques, and immunohistological approaches were used to evaluate the functional roles of macrophage Lgr4 and underlying signaling mechanisms. Oil red O staining of whole aortas and aortic root sections demonstrated reduced atherosclerosis in Lgr4\u0394M mice compared with sex-matched Lgr4WT mice. However, no changes in circulating monocyte frequencies were detected. Histochemical staining performed on aortic root sections revealed smaller necrotic cores and higher collagen content in Lgr4\u0394M mice. Additionally, Lgr4\u0394M mice exhibited lower fat mass and blood glucose levels, while plasma total cholesterol was comparable to that of control mice. Further in vitro and ex vivo studies demonstrated reduced lipid accumulation, enhanced efferocytic capacity, a suppressed proinflammatory phenotype, and attenuated expression of different low-density lipoprotein uptake genes in Lgr4-deficient macrophages. Moreover, Lgr4 knockout macrophages displayed increased cholesterol efflux capacity and reduced activation of oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced Wnt (Wingless-related integration site)/\u03b2-catenin signaling. These findings suggest that myeloid cell Lgr4 contributes to atherosclerotic lesion formation via stimulating macrophage lipid accumulation, impairing efferocytic capacity, and promoting a proinflammatory phenotype. Collectively, these results identify macrophage LGR4 as a novel therapeutic target for atherosclerosis.",

Immunometabolism provides the missing link between metabolic stress and immune activation: excess lipids, hyperglycemia, and tissue hypoxia reprogram immune and vascular cells toward glycolysis, altered glutamine use, mitochondrial dysfunction, and durable epigenetic memory. In atherosclerosis, this metabolic shift fuels endothelial dysfunction, macrophage foam-cell formation, cytokine release, defective efferocytosis, and plaque instability. The concept extends beyond the plaque itself through trained immunity, in which monocytes and bone marrow progenitors retain a pro-inflammatory memory that can persist after the original trigger has passed. This helps explain why myocardial infarction, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia can leave a long inflammatory imprint on the vasculature. Immunometabolism also contributes to thromboinflammation, where activated platelets, neutrophils, and extracellular traps reinforce clot formation and amplify arterial injury. In heart failure, postischemic remodeling and chronic congestion are accompanied by immune-cell and cardiomyocyte metabolic remodeling that sustains inflammation, fibrosis, and adverse ventricular remodeling. Clinical trials targeting inflammation, especially canakinumab and low-dose colchicine, have shown that suppressing inflammatory pathways can reduce cardiovascular events, supporting the translational value of this biology. A clearer understanding of immunometabolic circuits may enable better risk stratification, biomarker-guided therapy, and new treatments that simultaneously stabilize plaques, reduce thrombosis, and improve postinfarction healing.",

Emerging evidence suggests that daily timing of immune responses may influence cardiovascular disease progression by coordinating leukocyte trafficking, inflammatory thresholds, metabolic adaptation, and tissue repair across the 24-hour cycle. This review examines how core and auxiliary circadian regulators, including BMAL1, CLOCK, PER/CRY complexes, REV-ERBs, RORs, and systemic timing cues, shape immune-cell activation through transcriptional, epigenetic, metabolic, and neuroendocrine mechanisms. We further synthesize evidence on circadian coordination of leukocyte trafficking, particularly the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis, and discuss how disrupted timing may promote inappropriate leukocyte recruitment into the vascular wall. At the cellular level, circadian misalignment has been associated with altered macrophage polarization, inflammasome activation, and inflammatory injury, processes that may modulate atherosclerosis, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and post-infarction remodeling. Finally, we evaluate the translational potential and current limitations of chronopharmacology, emphasizing that time-of-day treatment strategies require careful consideration of clinical evidence, circadian phase assessment, chronotype, sex, age, comorbidities, and treatment feasibility. This evidence-weighted chrono-immunological perspective may help refine future research on cardiovascular inflammation and inform the development of more individualized prevention and therapeutic strategies.",

Here, we report an asymmetric \"spear-shield\" hydrogel dressing designed to overcome these impairments and accelerate DFU repair. The dressing is built on a polyacrylamide (PAM) network incorporating a gradient of copper alginate (Cu-Alg), yielding a structurally continuous yet functionally stratified bilayer: a rigid, highly cross-linked outer shield that provides mechanical protection and anti-adhesion, and a soft, low-cross-linked inner spear that conforms to the wound bed and enables robust tissue adhesion. The spear layer further carries macrophage-targeting liposomes (AP-Lipo) assembled from dimeric artemisinin conjugates (dACS) and phosphatidylserine (PS). Artemisinin and Cu2+ activate macrophage autophagy via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and AMPK/mTOR pathways. Overall, this study demonstrates that an asymmetric hydrogel structure can effectively integrate targeted autophagy reactivation with intelligent wound protection, offering a new strategy for chronic wound therapy.",

Here, we define macrophage aging by integrating transcriptomic, epigenetic, metabolic, and functional analyses across the lifespan. Besides aging hallmarks, we uncovered progressive changes in macrophages, including reduced responsiveness to both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cues and an imbalanced cytokine and chemokine secretory profile. This age-driven remodeling is supported by significant rewiring of epigenetic regulators, particularly histone-modifying genes, alongside coordinated shifts in metabolism toward lipid activation and trafficking at the expense of mitochondrial redox programs. Strikingly, these alterations differ between M1- and M2-like macrophages, indicating phenotype-specific aging trajectories. Functionally, aged macrophages exhibit enhanced phagocytic capacity, diminished migratory ability, and preserved antigen presentation. Together, our findings establish that aging does not simply impair macrophages; it drives an active, multi-layered reprogramming process, providing a framework to address inflammaging and age-associated diseases.",
        "42429815": "ID: 42429815\nTitle: Neuronal Guidance Proteins in the Fundamental Biology of Inflammation Resolution.\nAbstract: The initiation and resolution of acute inflammatory responses rely on highly orchestrated biochemical and cellular programs, in which a finely tuned repertoire of mediators regulates the dynamics, migration, and effector functions of immune cells in space and time. Persistent, incompletely resolved inflammatory reactions disrupt this delicate homeostatic equilibrium and foster the development of severe acute and chronic diseases. Central mediators that terminate inflammatory responses and actively transition them into resolution are therefore of paramount importance. These include not only specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators but also peptide and protein mediators, cytokines with context-dependent pro-resolving function, stromal and neuronal signals, as well as cell-intrinsic resolution mechanisms such as efferocytosis, metabolic reprogramming, and tissue-repair programs. Innate and adaptive immune cells integrate these signals and, as major sources and effectors of pro-resolving mediators, drive clearance of harmful stimuli and dying cells and foster tissue repair. Within this broader network of pro-resolving pathways, neuronal guidance proteins (NGPs) are increasingly recognized as critical regulators of immune cell positioning and function that act far beyond their classical roles in axon guidance and are now regarded as integral components of the active inflammation-resolution program. This chapter interrogates the fundamental biology of selected NGPs-including Netrin-1, repulsive guidance molecule A (RGM-A), Semaphorin 7A (Sema7A), Neogenin (Neo1), and Plexin C1 (PLXC1)-and delineates their dual roles within inflammatory and resolution programs, with particular emphasis on how these cues sculpt leukocyte trafficking, promote cellular clearance, and drive immune cell reprogramming along the temporal axis from the early phase of acute inflammation to the restoration of tissue homeostasis.",

Although neutrophils have traditionally been viewed as short-lived pro-inflammatory effector cells that contribute to epithelial injury, emerging evidence indicates that they also possess important pro-resolving and tissue-repairing functions. This narrative mini-review critically evaluates recent advances in understanding neutrophil functional heterogeneity in IBD, with particular emphasis on CD177\u207a neutrophils, neutrophil extracellular trap formation, efferocytosis, and mechanisms involved in immune resolution and mucosal healing. Accumulating data suggest that specialized neutrophil subsets can balance antimicrobial defense with controlled inflammatory signaling, thereby contributing to epithelial protection and restoration of intestinal homeostasis. In parallel, efficient efferocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils by macrophages emerges as a central mechanism promoting resolution of inflammation, whereas impaired clearance sustains chronic inflammatory responses. Recent studies further highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting pro-resolving neutrophil pathways and enhancing efferocytosis; however, most current evidence remains preclinical, and significant challenges persist in translating these findings into human therapies. Collectively, these insights redefine neutrophils as dynamic regulators of both tissue injury and immune resolution in IBD and support the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring immune balance and durable mucosal healing.",

Acsl4 silencing reduced fatty acid oxidation and efferocytosis, impairing exercise rehabilitation-induced tendon-bone healing.

FST also promotes adipose browning and enhances energy metabolism, leading to improved plasma lipid profiles and metabolic health in mice. Given the emerging association between brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation and reduced atherosclerosis, we investigated the anti-atherogenic potential of FST. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel (HMDP) revealed that Fst expression was negatively correlated with aortic lesion area and positively correlated with the expression of multiple adipose browning-associated genes. Adeno-associated viral delivery of Fst (AAV1-FST344) in Ldlr-/- mice significantly reduced aortic lesion area, improved plasma lipid profiles, and decreased expression of adhesion (VCAM1) and inflammatory (iNOS, TNF-\u03b1) markers in white adipose tissue (WAT), liver, and heart. Fst gene delivery also markedly increased uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) expression in WAT, consistent with WAT browning. Integrated correlation analyses of Fst expression with tissue metabolites, together with plasma metabolite-lesion associations identified in the HMDP, implicated the arginase 1 (Arg1)-mediated metabolic pathway as a key regulator of atherogenesis. Consistent with these findings, Arg1 expression was significantly elevated in WAT, liver, and heart of AAV1-FST344-treated mice and in wild-type versus Fst-knockout mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Immunostaining localized Arg1 predominantly to CD68+ macrophages in heart and liver. Given recent evidence identifying Arg1 as a novel mediator of efferocytosis, these findings suggest that Arg1 may promote macrophage metabolic reprogramming and resolution of inflammation by enhancing the clearance of apoptotic cells. Furthermore, Fst gene delivery increased the expression of fibroblast growth factor 21 (Fgf21) and adiponectin (AdipoQ) in WAT. Collectively, these findings identify Fst as a novel anti-atherogenic regulator that protects against vascular disease by promoting adipose browning, improving lipid metabolism, and activating Arg1-mediated metabolic pathways.",

Neutrophils, as the initial responders in the acute inflammatory phase, play a critical role by generating specialized mediators that facilitate the natural resolution of inflammation. Nevertheless, the mechanisms governing neutrophil-driven inflammation following the implantation of Zn-based metals are not fully elucidated. This study investigated neutrophil-macrophage crosstalk around Zn-based implants using single-cell transcriptomic profiling. A high-resolution cellular atlas of the peri-implant bone marrow microenvironment was generated in a rat femoral model comparing Zn-based implants with the titanium (Ti) ones. The results revealed that Zn implants induced a distinct neutrophil (Neu) subset heterogeneity, including Cd177+ Neu, Ifit1bl+ Neu, RatNP-3b+ Neu, and Prtn3+ Neu, the latter demonstrating enhanced tissue repair ability through osteoclast differentiation pathways. Zn-based metallic implants reduced macrophage (Mac) reactivity and promoted Hp+ Mac dominance compared to Ti implants, which showed higher Apoe+ Mac proportions. Crosstalk analysis identified a significant interaction between the neutrophil subset Ifit1bl+ Neu and the macrophage subset Eno3+ Mac under Zn implantation, mediated by the Lgals9-Ighm ligand-receptor axis.

This study aims to investigate the role of macrophage Dicer1 in skin wound healing in mice and to explore the regulatory mechanism underlying efferocytosis. Dorsal skin wounds were created in Dicer1-deficient and wild type mice, and the wound areas were quantified daily. In the wounds, epithelialization, granulation tissue growth, collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and the mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines were measured and apoptotic cells were labelled. In vitro, macrophages were separated from the wounds, and the expressions of pentose phosphate pathway (PPP)-related molecules were measured; wound macrophages were cocultured with apoptotic Jurkat cells, then the phagocytosis was analyzed, and the mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines and PPP-related molecules were measured in the macrophages. Macrophage-specific deletion of Dicer1 impairs skin wound healing in mice, resulting in delayed wound closure, reduced re-epithelialization and granulation tissue formation, diminished collagen deposition, and attenuated angiogenesis. Dicer1-deficient wounds exhibited sustained inflammation, alongside increased apoptotic cell accumulation. Mechanistically, Dicer1 knockout in macrophages led to impaired efferocytosis and upregulated PPP activity. These findings identify the Dicer1-PPP-efferocytosis axis as a critical regulator of macrophage function during wound repair. Our study provides novel insights into the molecular basis of impaired wound healing and suggests that targeting the macrophage Dicer1-PPP-efferocytosis axis may offer therapeutic potential for skin wounds.",

As a crucial signaling lysophospholipid, lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS) correlates with advanced disease stages in multiple tumor types. However, the mechanisms by which LysoPS drives gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis remain undefined. Single-cell transcriptomic profiling of primary tumors, normal peritoneum, and metastatic lesions delineated mechanisms underlying LysoPS-mediated tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) reprogramming. Immunohistochemistry and multiplex immunofluorescence validated GPR34-high TAMs infiltration in peritoneal metastases. Functional validation was performed using molecular assays and in vivo models. LysoPS accumulated in ascites from patients with gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis, establishing an immunosuppressive TME that drove malignant progression. Using single-cell transcriptome sequencing, we identified a distinct subset of TAMs highly expressing GPR34 enriched in gastric cancer peritoneal metastases, which correlates with tumor progression and immune evasion. Mechanistically, LysoPS engagement of GPR34 activated ERK/c-Jun signaling, transcriptionally upregulating AXL and CD36 to enhance efferocytosis. This effect drove TAMs toward an immunosuppressive phenotype, characterized by enhanced interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor-\u03b2 secretion. GPR34 inhibitor attenuated M2-like TAMs infiltration while bolstering cytotoxic T cells recruitment and curtailing programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)+T cells accumulation. Furthermore, combination with anti-PD-1 therapy synergistically suppressed tumor growth beyond monotherapy efficacy. LysoPS-GPR34 axis synergized with efferocytosis to amplify TAMs immunosuppressive properties, fostering an immune-evasive microenvironment; GPR34 inhibitor thus represents a promising strategy to potentiate PD-1 blockade efficacy in gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis.",
        "42449369": "ID: 42449369\nTitle: Shared and niche-specific transcriptional signatures of macrophage aging revealed by a cross-tissue meta-analysis.\nAbstract: Aging is accompanied by widespread transcriptional remodeling across tissues, yet how aging impacts different categories of tissue-resident macrophages is not well understood. Macrophages are highly specialized innate immune cells shaped by their local microenvironments, suggesting that aging may elicit both shared and niche-specific transcriptional responses. Here, we performed a meta-analysis of publicly available bulk and single-cell RNA-seq datasets to characterize age-associated transcriptional changes in murine macrophages across tissues and sexes. We curated and uniformly processed 33 macrophage transcriptomic datasets, derived from 10 distinct tissue niches, in male and female C57BL/6 mice, examining transcriptional changes as a function of age. The similarity of differentially expressed aging genes was compared across niches and pathway-level analysis uncovered conserved age-associated signatures, including upregulation of gene sets related to antigen presentation, antioxidant responses, and negative regulation of ferroptosis, alongside downregulation of gene sets related to Wnt, GTPase, and extracellular matrix organization signaling. Transcription factor activity inference identified consistent age-associated activation of AP-1 (Fos, Jun), C/EBP\u03b2, PU.1, and Egr1 across niches. Meta-analysis defined 593 consistently age-altered genes in\u2009>\u20093/4 of analyzed datasets, converging on dysregulation of small GTPase signaling. Focused analysis of alveolar macrophages and microglia, made possible by the larger number of available datasets, revealed sex-specific transcriptional programs altered with age in these macrophage subtypes. These findings demonstrate that macrophage aging is shaped by both tissue niche and sex and provides a framework for understanding the transcriptomic signatures of macrophage aging across tissues.",
        "42449498": "ID: 42449498\nTitle: Bone Marrow Microenvironment Drives Mature Neutrophil to a CD83 + Pro-Tumor State in Multiple Myeloma.\nAbstract: Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cells in bone marrow (BM); their differentiation, maturation, and clearance are tightly regulated by the BM microenvironment. Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell disorder that leads to multi-organ damage, including BM disruption, which may subsequently affect resident neutrophils. The present study was designed to systematically characterize BM neutrophils in MM, to advance the understanding of their potential biological roles in disease initiation and progression, and to identify potential neutrophil-based biomarkers of clinical relevance. Firstly, developmental profiling of BM neutrophils via cytomorphology and flow cytometry revealed a pronounced enrichment of mature neutrophils in MM patients. Furthermore, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was utilized to characterize the transcriptional heterogeneity of BM neutrophils, with particular focus on the mature subsets. This analysis revealed a disease-specific subpopulation of CD83+ neutrophils exhibiting anti-apoptotic and senescence-like features. The prolonged lifespan of these cells likely facilitates a phenotypic shift toward an immunosuppressive state, as evidenced by the upregulation of multiple inhibitory molecules. Clinical data, integrated with flow cytometric and bioinformatic analyses, were further applied to investigate the pro-tumor features of CD83+ neutrophils and to uncover their potential tumor-promoting pathways. Notably, the abundance of CD83+ neutrophils correlates with adverse clinical features in MM patients. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the MM BM microenvironment shapes the maturation trajectory of neutrophils, driving the emergence of a CD83+ senescence-like and pro-tumor neutrophil subset. This provides new insights into neutrophil-based biomarkers for risk stratification and disease monitoring in MM.",
        "42455134": "ID: 42455134\nTitle: Myeloid PKM2 deficiency alleviates allergic airway inflammation and promotes macrophage efferocytosis via SLC13A3.\nAbstract: Allergic asthma is characterized by chronic airway inflammation that fails to resolve efficiently. Defective efferocytosis and metabolic reprogramming of macrophages are crucial factors in allergic diseases. While PKM2 is known to participate in phagocytosis and metabolism, its specific role in modulating asthma remains unclear. To delineate the underlying mechanisms of PKM2 in allergic asthma. We generated myeloid cell-specific LysMcrePKM2fl/fl mice, with littermate PKM2fl/fl mice serving as controls, and challenged them with ovalbumin (OVA) extract to induce allergic airway inflammation. In vivo, we assessed airway hyperresponsiveness, pulmonary inflammation, Th2 cytokine levels, apoptosis, and efferocytosis-related receptor expression. Primary bone marrow-derived macrophages(BMDMs) were isolated for in vitro evaluation of efferocytic activity under distinct polarization conditions. To investigate underlying mechanisms, we performed RNA-seq to identify PKM2 downstream targets, followed by lentiviral-mediated overexpression of the candidate molecule SLC13A3 in THP-1 cells, with validation through molecular docking, immunoprecipitation, and functional assays. We found that PKM2 is upregulated in macrophages during asthma. Myeloid cell-specific PKM2 deficiency mitigated OVA-induced Th2 inflammation and eosinophilic apoptosis while reducing airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Mechanistically, PKM2-expressing macrophages exhibited decreased SLC13A3 transcription, which drove activation of the PI3K-AKT and redistributed STAT6/1 ratio to impair efferocytosis. This impairment disturbed the M2/M1 balance. In vitro experiments confirmed that SLC13A3 overexpression enhanced efferocytic capacity and promoted a shift toward M2/M1 balance. Conversely, PKM2 overexpression in macrophages impaired efferocytosis and exacerbated chronic airway inflammation. Our study reveals a novel role for myeloid cell-specific PKM2 and SLC13A3 in asthma, linking efferocytosis to immune metabolism during allergic inflammation.",
        "42456394": "ID: 42456394\nTitle: Defective lysosomal acidification promotes chondrocyte senescence and autophagic flux stagnation in geriatric osteoarthritis.\nAbstract: Geriatric osteoarthritis (G-OA) represents a senescence and metabolism-driven pathobiological phenotype, closely associated with ageing. Although lysosomal dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a cardinal feature of age-related diseases, most current therapeutic strategies primarily target upstream regulators of autophagy, particularly the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. However, this approach may be limited in aged chondrocytes, where the efficiency of autophagic degradation is already compromised. With ageing, reduced vacuolar ATPase activity and the accumulation of intralysosomal lipofuscin may impair lysosomal acidification and degradative capacity. As a result, even when autophagy is pharmacologically stimulated, the clearance of autophagic cargo remains inefficient. This imbalance leads to the accumulation of undegraded autophagosomes, contributing to cellular stress and impaired autophagic flux. Importantly, lysosomal dysfunction under these conditions has increasingly been associated with the amplification of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and subsequent macrophage dysregulation. These interconnected processes may further exacerbate joint degeneration in G-OA. This review identifies lysosomal restoration as a potential therapeutic intervention point for overcoming downstream autophagic impairment in G-OA. Enhancing lysosomal acidification and degradative function may help re-establish effective autophagic flux and improve disease outcomes. Although several components of this proposed mechanistic framework require direct experimental validation in aged chondrocytes, the model provides a biologically plausible and testable basis for future investigations into lysosome-targeted therapeutic strategies for G-OA.",
        "42458117": "ID: 42458117\nTitle: FADS1-mediated Efferocytosis in Tumor-Associated Macrophages Shapes an Immunosuppressive Microenvironment in Gastric Cancer.\nAbstract: Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a central role in tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. Alterations in unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) metabolism are known to contribute to the immunosuppressive properties of TAMs. However, the complex regulatory relationship between UFAs metabolism and TAMs during gastric cancer (GC) progression remains largely unclear. Through a comprehensive analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing and transcriptomic data, we found that the UFAs biosynthesis-related enzyme FADS1 holds prognostic significance in GC within TAMs. Clinically, a high infiltration of FADS1+TAMs strongly correlates with poor prognosis and immunotherapy resistance across several GC cohorts. Using in vitro co-culture systems and in vivo mouse models, our data suggest that FADS1+TAMs actively contribute to an immunosuppressive microenvironment, potentially driving CD8+T cell dysfunction. Mechanistically, our findings indicate that FADS1 mediated DHA synthesis and activated PPAR\u03b3, which subsequently promotes efferocytosis and inhibit the STING-IFN-I signaling pathway in TAMs. Notably, systemic pharmacological targeting of FADS1 exerted a significant sensitizing effect in mouse ectopic GC models, inhibiting tumor growth, enhancing CD8+T cells cytotoxicity, and improving the efficacy of PD-1 blockade. Overall, our study highlights FADS1+TAMs as a critical component of GC progression and a potential exploratory biomarker for immunotherapy responsiveness. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of FADS1 represents a promising combinatorial strategy for reshaping the TME and enhancing immune checkpoint blockade efficacy in preclinical settings.",
        "42459052": "ID: 42459052\nTitle: Chronic Infection and Cardiac Aging: a New Perspective on Pathogen-Associated Cardiomyopathy.\nAbstract: Cardiovascular diseases remain the primary driver of global mortality, with advanced age serving the most significant risk factor for their development and progression. Emerging evidence suggests that chronic infections can act as potent catalysts for cardiac decline by prematurely inducing aging phenotypes. Pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites, that evade host clearance establish a state of permanent inflammaging: a chronic, low-grade inflammatory milieu characterized by persistent cytokine signaling and leukocyte infiltration. This environment directly mirrors the sterile inflammation that drives natural senescence. Mechanistically, chronic infection subverts the heart's homeostatic pathways, triggering cardiomyocyte senescence through the dysregulation of mTOR signaling and the impairment of autophagy. These infections further drive mitochondrial dysfunction and the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative DNA damage and metabolic exhaustion within the myocardium. On a structural level, immune subversion, via macrophage polarization and the induction of autoimmunity, accelerates left ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial remodeling, and interstitial fibrosis. By characterizing chronic infection as a modifiable driver of biological aging, we can prioritize anti-infective strategies as essential components of cardiovascular longevity and geriatric care.",
        "42459154": "ID: 42459154\nTitle: A NANOBODY molecule that blocks MerTK ectodomain cleavage in vitro and in vivo.\nAbstract: The membrane receptor MerTK is critical for the resolution of inflammation and thus is of pharmacological interest. MerTK function is inhibited by the proteolytic cleavage of its extracellular domain leading to the formation of soluble Mer (sMer). We describe here the NANOBODY molecule A0445046C08 and its half-life-extended version A044500050. Both bound selectively to MerTK and blocked lipopolysaccharide-induced MerTK cleavage in primary macrophages without influencing ligand binding or kinase activity of MerTK. A044500050 reduced Zymosan-induced sMer levels in the peritoneal lavage fluid of a mouse model with sterile peritonitis. The study demonstrates that NANOBODY molecules can be generated that selectively inhibit ectodomain shedding and outlines a novel pharmacological approach for targeting membrane proteins where aberrant cleavage plays a pathogenic role.",
        "42459689": "ID: 42459689\nTitle: Neutrophil death pathways in myocardial infarction: the balance between injury and repair.\nAbstract: Following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), neutrophils rush to the damaged heart tissue. Their presence is critical, and how they die influences whether the heart heals or suffers further injury. This outcome depends on specific cell death pathways of neutrophils, including NETosis, apoptosis, and autophagy. NETosis can be harmful when neutrophils release sticky, web-like structures (NETs) filled with toxic enzymes, particularly during early thromboinflammatory amplification. These webs trap platelets and trigger clotting, which blocks blood vessels and worsens heart damage. In contrast, timely neutrophil apoptosis is a quiet, controlled death that signals cleanup cells (macrophages) to remove debris and start tissue repair, although apoptotic signaling in other cardiac cell types or inappropriate time windows may be detrimental. Autophagy acts as a regulator, helping determine which of these paths the cell takes. Furthermore, platelets could modulate these specific cell death pathways by releasing soluble mediators (e.g., P-selectin, HMGB1, polyP, CXCL4), promoting NETosis while suppressing apoptosis to exacerbate ischemic myocardial injury. Some anti-inflammatory strategies could fail if broad immune suppression inadvertently disrupts reparative neutrophil apoptosis and efferocytosis. Future therapies could aim to precisely block pathological NETosis or support timely neutrophil apoptosis to limit injury and improve heart recovery.",

Here, we identify tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) as central coordinators of age-related organ decline through impaired clearance of senescent neutrophils, a process regulated by the immunomodulatory prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor EP2. Reducing TRM EP2 signaling in aged mice preserved youthful mitochondrial fitness and prevented cognitive decline, frailty, sarcopenia, adiposity, cardiac impairment, and systemic inflammation. Plasma proteomics implicated the liver as a major source of age-associated immune change, in which reduced TRM EP2 signaling rescued neutrophil efferocytosis and prevented paracrine stress in neighboring cells. Elevated TRM EP2 expression and senescent neutrophils were also observed in aged and diseased human tissues. Pharmacologic EP2 inhibition restored youthful neutrophil clearance, establishing impaired TRM efferocytosis as a reversible driver of organ decline in aging.",
        "42464553": "ID: 42464553\nTitle: [Research progress on immune microenvironment imbalance and targeted interventions in osteoarthritis comorbid with diabetes mellitus].\nAbstract: To summarize the research progress on immune microenvironment imbalance and targeted interventions in osteoarthritis comorbid with diabetes mellitus, so as to provide a reference for the development of disease-modifying therapies and individualized local drug-delivery strategies for this comorbid population. Relevant domestic and international studies published in recent years were reviewed. Focusing on the \"oxidative stress-immune interaction\" axis, the major alterations and cellular network characteristics of the immune microenvironment in osteoarthritis comorbid with diabetes mellitus were summarized, with emphasis on microenvironment-targeted intervention strategies, including small-molecule drug repurposing, nanodelivery systems, exosome/nucleic acid-based therapeutics, and injectable biomaterials. Challenges and prospects related to stratified diagnosis and treatment, efficacy endpoints, and long-term safety in clinical translation were also discussed. The core pathological basis of osteoarthritis comorbid with diabetes mellitus involves hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress and immunometabolic reprogramming. Through mechanisms such as the accumulation of advanced glycation end products, lipotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and abnormalities in the gut-joint axis, these changes promote persistent synovitis, extracellular matrix degradation, pain sensitization, and structural joint damage. Immune microenvironment imbalance is mainly characterized by pro-inflammatory polarization of synovial macrophages with impaired efferocytosis, T helper 17 cells/regulatory T cells imbalance, reduced immunomodulatory capacity of mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomes, and senescence-associated immune remodeling in bone marrow lesion areas. Based on these mechanisms, targeted intervention strategies, including small-molecule drug repurposing, nanodelivery systems, exosome/nucleic acid-based therapeutics, and injectable biomaterials, have shown promising application prospects. However, their clinical translation still faces challenges, such as insufficient stratified diagnosis and treatment, inadequate efficacy evaluation systems, and limited long-term safety evidence. The development and progression of osteoarthritis comorbid with diabetes mellitus are closely associated with the persistent interplay among metabolic abnormalities, oxidative stress, and immune microenvironment imbalance.

We combined single-cell RNA sequencing of elastase-induced murine AAA with pathway, cell-cell communication, trajectory, and regulon analyses, and validated key findings in vivo by immunostaining and flow cytometry and in vitro by pharmacologic ERK inhibition, gene-expression analysis, and macrophage efferocytosis assays. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis identified four macrophage subsets in AAA, comprising Thbs1+Spp1+ inflammatory macrophages, Mrc1+Gas6+ efferocytosis-associated macrophages, Cdca8+ proliferative macrophages, and Cd36+Lpl+ lipid-handling macrophages. AAA progression was characterized by expansion of Thbs1+Spp1+ macrophages and emergence of Cdca8+ macrophages, together with relative loss of Mrc1+Gas6+ and Cd36+Lpl+ macrophages. Thbs1+Spp1+ macrophages showed inflammatory, chemotactic, oxidative stress, and metabolic remodeling signatures, whereas Mrc1+Gas6+ macrophages were enriched for efferocytosis- and homeostasis-associated features but exhibited increased apoptosis-related signals and reduced expression of Mertk, Gas6, and Igf1 during AAA progression. ERK signaling was overactivated in AAA and associated with loss of these effectors and impaired macrophage efferocytosis, whereas ERK inhibition restored Mertk, Gas6, and Igf1 expression and enhanced uptake of apoptotic cells in macrophage-line models. Trajectory and regulon analyses further suggested that inflammatory and efferocytosis-associated macrophages follow distinct state trajectories, with Maf emerging as a candidate regulator of the Mrc1+Gas6+ program. AAA is characterized by an imbalance between inflammatory and efferocytosis-associated macrophage states. ERK-associated dysfunction of Mrc1+Gas6+ macrophages may contribute to defective inflammation resolution and represents a potential therapeutic target in aneurysmal disease.",

Despite significant advances in reperfusion strategies and pharmacotherapy, persistent inflammation and adverse ventricular remodeling continue to underlie poor long-term clinical outcomes. Macrophages serve as central orchestrators of post-MI healing, coordinating the clearance of necrotic debris, resolution of inflammation, remodeling of the extracellular matrix, and maturation of the fibrotic scar. However, the conventional M1/M2 dichotomy fails to fully capture the dynamic, phenotypically heterogeneous, and metabolically constrained macrophage states that emerge during infarct healing. In this review, we synthesize current evidence supporting a trajectory-based framework for macrophage reprogramming following MI and emphasize mitochondrial fitness as a critical determinant governing the transition from sustained inflammation to reparative resolution. We summarize key metabolic checkpoints regulating this functional shift-including glycolytic rewiring, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle remodeling, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) accumulation, efferocytosis, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), fatty acid oxidation (FAO), and mitochondrial quality control. Furthermore, we advance the hypothesis that SIRT3-the principal mitochondrial NAD+-dependent deacetylase-may act as a central regulatory node linking mitochondrial protein acetylation to macrophage state transitions after MI. Specifically, we outline a staged dual-axis working model, generated from convergent but largely indirect evidence, in which the SOD2-mtROS axis is more closely linked to early nonresolving inflammation, whereas the PDHA1-metabolic flexibility axis may be more relevant to efferocytosis-associated reparative transition. We further highlight NAD+ availability as an upstream limiting factor that may constrain SIRT3 activity in macrophages under ischemic-inflammatory stress. Finally, we critically evaluate the current evidence hierarchy, human translatability, therapeutic strategies, and key translational challenges-emphasizing considerations of timing, cellular specificity, delivery modalities, and target engagement. Although macrophage-specific causal evidence in myocardial infarction (MI) remains sparse, this framework is intended as a mechanistically coherent and experimentally tractable working hypothesis to guide future investigations into macrophage immunometabolism and mitochondrial-targeted interventions in post-infarction cardiac repair. Accordingly, the proposed framework should be viewed as a testable working hypothesis rather than a settled causal model of macrophage fate control in MI.",

Emerging evidence positions PANoptosis, an integrated cell-death program combining pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis, as a unifying driver of inflammation and tissue destruction along the athero-myocardial axis. This synthesis reframes cardiovascular pathology as a continuum governed by shared immunometabolic triggers and coordinated cell-death machinery. We outline how upstream nucleic acid sensors, notably Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1) and absent in melanoma 2, orchestrate PANoptosome assembly, engaging receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK)1, RIPK3, Caspase-8, gasdermin D (GSDMD), mixed lineage kinase domain-like, and executioner caspases to produce multimodal lytic death. In the vasculature, disturbed flow activates Piezo1-Calpain signaling. This mechanotransduction is proposed to lower the threshold for endothelial PANoptosis, partly through mitochondrial Ca2+ overload, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release. Concurrently, macrophage uptake of oxidized lipids triggers a mitochondria-stimulator of interferon genes-GSDMD feed-forward loop. This process expands necrotic cores and destabilizes plaques. In ischemic myocardium, succinate-driven reverse electron transport generates a ROS burst during reperfusion, causing mtDNA release and ZBP1-dependent PANoptosis in cardiomyocytes. This cascade propagates systemic inflammation through defective efferocytosis, bone-marrow trained immunity, and extracellular vesicle (EV) cargo transfer, ultimately driving fibrosis and heart failure. Several conceptual and translational issues remain critical. Vascular and myocardial injuries may share core PANoptotic machinery, but they are linked systemically through inflammatory, metabolic, and immune feedback loops rather than by a simple linear cascade. Co-activation of pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis should be distinguished from true molecular shunting within PANoptosomes. Emerging EV-based propagation mechanisms require careful interpretation, and therapeutic windows differ across endothelial injury, plaque progression, reperfusion injury, and remodeling. Future strategies should prioritize nanomedicine-enabled precision delivery, metabolic reprogramming, and time-sensitive intervention across the athero-myocardial axis. This review proposes an athero-myocardial axis in which vascular and myocardial injuries share core PANoptotic machinery while being linked systemically through inflammatory, metabolic, and immune feedback loops. It differentiates co-activation from true molecular shunting within PANoptosomes, clarifies emerging EV-based propagation mechanisms, and maps time-sensitive therapeutic windows across endothelial injury, plaque progression, reperfusion injury, and remodeling.

Macrophages are essential for efferocytosis, the clearance of apoptotic cells, which prevents secondary necrosis and promotes inflammation resolution. However, the epigenetic mechanisms regulating this process under inflammatory stress remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify the m6A methyltransferase METTL3 as a critical regulator of macrophage efferocytosis. Using various models of tissue injury, METTL3 expression was significantly downregulated in macrophages under inflammatory conditions and was associated with defective efferocytosis, the accumulation of apoptotic cells, and exacerbated chronic inflammation. Mechanistically, we reveal that METTL3-mediated m6A modification promotes IGF2BP2/3-dependent stabilization of MFGE8 mRNA, a process that is compromised upon METTL3 deficiency. In a colitis-associated cancer model, the efferocytosis defect associated with Mettl3 deficiency exacerbated chronic inflammatory tissue injury and increased susceptibility to colitis-associated cancer. Ultimately, external administration of recombinant MFGE8 protein effectively rescued the efferocytosis defect, mitigated inflammation, and reduced tumor burden in the AOM/DSS model. Collectively, our findings identify the METTL3-m6A-IGF2BP2/3-MFGE8 pathway as an important regulator of macrophage efferocytosis that may contribute to inflammation-associated carcinogenesis. These results suggest that targeting the METTL3-MFGE8 axis may represent a strategy for restoring efferocytosis and promoting inflammation resolution in chronic inflammatory diseases and inflammation-associated malignancies.",

Under homeostatic conditions, balanced M1/M2 polarization preserves tissue integrity by coordinating immune surveillance, efferocytosis, and tissue repair. When this equilibrium is disrupted, however, M1-skewed responses drive chronic inflammation and autoimmunity, whereas M2-skewed polarization facilitates tumor immune evasion and organ fibrosis. Although diverse therapeutic strategies-including reprogramming, depletion, blockade of monocyte recruitment, CAR-M cells, and nanomedicine-are being explored to restore homeostasis, clinical translation remains constrained by the lack of pathogenic subset-specific markers, insufficient predictive biomarkers for patient stratification, species divergence between mice and humans, and the temporal complexity of context-dependent intervention windows. In this Review, we systematically delineate macrophage plasticity and the molecular mechanisms underlying polarization imbalance, evaluate existing and emerging macrophage-directed interventions, and dissect these translational bottlenecks in depth, highlighting how single-cell multi-omics, humanized models, and dynamic biomarkers can overcome them. By providing a roadmap for precisely calibrating macrophage functional states and restoring M1/M2 balance, this framework will accelerate the development of precision immunotherapies aimed at re-establishing immune homeostasis across a broad spectrum of human pathologies.",

First described in 2014, DADA2 has emerged as a paradigm for monogenic vasculitis, bridging the gap between primary immunodeficiencies and systemic vasculitides. The disease is characterized by a remarkably broad clinical spectrum encompassing early-onset lacunar stroke, systemic vasculitis resembling polyarteritis nodosa (PAN), hematologic abnormalities ranging from pure red cell aplasia to pancytopenia, humoral immunodeficiency, and variable lymphoproliferation. ADA2, predominantly secreted by myeloid cells, serves dual functions as a growth factor for endothelial cells and a modulator of extracellular adenosine metabolism. Its deficiency leads to a proinflammatory state driven by macrophage dysregulation, excessive tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production, neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, and endothelial dysfunction. The genotype-phenotype correlation is complex, with certain mutations predisposing to vasculitic versus hematologic-predominant phenotypes. Emerging evidence further links ADA2 deficiency to cellular senescence and inflammaging pathways, suggesting a connection between monogenic vasculitis and aging-related biological mechanisms. Anti-TNF therapy has revolutionized disease management, achieving sustained remission in the majority of vasculitic manifestations. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) offers a definitive cure for severe hematologic disease, while gene therapy approaches are under active investigation. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the immunopathogenesis, clinical heterogeneity, genotype-phenotype correlations, multi-omics insights, and evolving precision therapeutic strategies for DADA2, positioning it as an instructive model for understanding monogenic immune vasculopathy. Despite this progress, fundamental questions remain-including the relative contribution of ADA2 enzymatic versus growth factor functions to disease pathogenesis, the mechanisms underlying tissue-specific vulnerability, the basis of differential treatment responsiveness, and the identity of genetic and environmental modifiers that determine phenotypic heterogeneity-that define the frontier of current DADA2 research. This review critically evaluates both established knowledge and persistent uncertainties, positioning DADA2 as an instructive model for the study of monogenic immune vasculopathy.",

SPMs are novel potent lipid mediators that play an important role in maintaining inflammation homeostasis and macrophages' functional plasticity. This review will look into the potential function of SPM-programmed macrophage reprogramming as a novel therapeutic strategy for asthma. Unlike current anti-inflammatory treatments, which only focus on suppressing inflammation, SPMs can actively drive the inflammation resolution phase by promoting efferocytosis and wound healing while maintaining the defense against infection. In experimental asthma animal models, lipoxins, resolvins, protectins, and maresins have been demonstrated to alleviate inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness, shift macrophages towards pro-resolving phenotypes and thus facilitate the resolution process. Levels of some SPM subclasses were found to be reduced in severe or uncontrolled asthmatics, indicating defective resolution pathways may contribute to asthma persistence. The mechanisms include down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, alteration of macrophage phenotype, improvement of immune homeostasis in the airway milieu, etc. These molecules have become highly promising therapeutic agents after the development of metabolically stable analogs, receptor-targeted agonists, and an improved delivery system. Multi-omics studies coupled with patient stratification based on biomarkers will potentially help in the future to develop personalized resolution-based therapy, in particular for those steroid-resistant and non-type 2 asthmatics. Nevertheless, the evidence provided so far is mainly preclinical; more challenges in terms of pharmacokinetics, formulation and formulation development, regulatory agency approval, and clinical validation remain and will be overcome through further studies, thus warranting investigation into SPM-mediated strategies for asthma and other chronic inflammatory diseases.",

However, crystal burden alone does not fully explain asymptomatic crystal deposition, recurrent flares, or the self-limiting nature of acute inflammation. Immunometabolism provides a useful perspective for understanding these differences. In macrophages, glycolysis supports pro-IL-1\u03b2 expression and inflammatory mediator production, while tricarboxylic acid cycle remodeling, mitochondrial stress, and reactive oxygen species may contribute to inflammasome activation. In neutrophils, glycolysis sustains rapid effector functions, including chemotaxis, degranulation, ROS production, and neutrophil extracellular trap formation. During later stages, efferocytosis, lipid mediator switching, and mitochondrial adaptation may promote inflammation resolution. Systemic metabolic abnormalities may further influence recurrence susceptibility by altering innate immune responsiveness to MSU crystals. This review summarizes current evidence linking immunometabolic pathways to gouty inflammation and discusses remaining questions regarding cell specificity, temporal sequence, causal relevance, and therapeutic translation.",

A growing body of work indicates that aging is closely associated with CAD and, in preclinical models, can promote it through immunometabolic remodeling of the gut-liver-heart axis, in which bile acid metabolism is proposed to act as a central molecular link. Here we integrate cellular, molecular, and clinical evidence to outline how aging perturbs this axis and sustains chronic vascular inflammation. At the cellular level, senescent cells in the intestinal, hepatic, and vascular compartments generate the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) - a process linked to cGAS-STING and NLRP3 inflammasome activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and decline of the NAD+-SIRT3 axis - and help establish the systemic state of inflammaging. In the gut, age-related dysbiosis lowers bile salt hydrolase and 7\u03b1-dehydroxylase activities, contracts the secondary bile acid pool, weakens epithelial barrier integrity, and triggers metabolic endotoxemia that maintains LPS-TLR4-NF-\u03baB signaling. In the liver, Kupffer cell M1 polarization, attenuated farnesoid X receptor (FXR) signaling, and altered exosomal cargo amplify systemic inflammatory output. Reduced FXR and Takeda G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) signaling weakens the endogenous restraint of macrophage activation, vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switching, and cardiomyocyte metabolic protection. The downstream result is endothelial dysfunction, foam cell formation, plaque instability, and adverse cardiac remodeling. We then appraise emerging immune-metabolic interventions - microbiota remodeling, FXR/TGR5 agonists, senolytic therapies, metformin, and integrated biomarker frameworks for early risk stratification - while noting that most are currently supported only by preclinical or early-phase human data. By placing bile acid signaling at the interface of innate immunity, microbial ecology, and metabolic homeostasis, this review offers an immunological framework for aging-associated CAD and identifies candidate immune-metabolic targets for prevention and therapy in older adults.",
        "42520678": "ID: 42520678\nTitle: Dual role of macrophage heterogeneity in allergic inflammation: from mechanism to targeted therapy.\nAbstract: Allergic inflammation, such as allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis, shares many pathogenic hallmarks, including inappropriate activation of type 2 immune responses, tissue barrier dysfunction, and disruption of local homeostasis. Due to their remarkable plasticity and tissue adaptability, macrophages are crucial effector cells of the innate immune system that play complex, context-dependent dual roles in allergic inflammation. On the one hand, macrophages are implicated in the persistence of chronic inflammation, thereby boosting Th2 cell recruitment, eosinophil infiltration, antigen processing, chemokine secretion, inflammatory mediator release, and tissue remodeling. On the other hand, they promote the resolution of inflammation by triggering barrier repair, producing anti-inflammatory mediators including TGF-\u03b2 and IL-10, and phagocytosing apoptotic cells. Recent single-cell transcriptomic and functional studies have demonstrated that macrophages are dynamically distributed along an activation continuum rather than merely fitting into the traditional M1/M2 polarization. Functional states are determined by cellular origin, illness stage, tissue niche, and complex regulatory networks. For macrophages implicated in airway inflammation and remodeling, non-IgE-dependent nasal neurogenic reflexes, skin barrier disruption, itch neuroimmune circuits, and inflammation resolution, distinct barrier tissues-such as the lung, nasal mucosa, and skin-show notable tissue specificity. The pathogenic and preventive functions of macrophages in allergic inflammation are systematically summarized in this review, which also emphasizes a continuous spectrum of macrophage activation and incorporates interactions among metabolic reprogramming, pyroptosis, epigenetic control, and trained immunity. Given the dynamic and microenvironment-dependent nature of macrophage function, future treatment approaches need to shift from broad anti-inflammatory therapies to precision reprogramming that is stage-specific and tissue-tuned. During the start and amplification stages of inflammation, therapeutic strategies should target pathogenic M2a-like programs, chemokine networks, monocyte recruitment, and excessive pyroptotic responses. On the other hand, M2b/M2c and pro-resolving macrophage-mediated efferocytosis, immunological tolerance, and tissue healing should be the focus of tactics in the resolution and repair stages. Furthermore, the management of allergic diseases may shift from empirical anti-inflammatory therapy to mechanism-guided precision interventions through patient stratification based on single-cell omics, spatial omics, and macrophage-associated biomarkers.",
        "42520682": "ID: 42520682\nTitle: Myeloid Piezo1 improves inflammation resolution and phagocytosis in acute liver injury.\nAbstract: Acetaminophen (APAP)-induced acute liver injury (AILI) is characterized by extensive cell death and sterile inflammation, with substantial accumulation of myeloid cells in necrotic areas. Macrophages are critical elements in acute hepatic inflammation and resolution. Piezo1 is a mechanically activated ion channel that modulates innate immune responses and senses microenvironmental cues. The functions of myeloid Piezo1 in AILI remain elusive. This study aimed to determine whether myeloid Piezo1 regulates inflammation resolution and macrophage-mediated clearance during AILI. To generate the AILI mouse model, APAP was administered intraperitoneally to Piezo1fl/fl and Piezo1\u0394LysM mice, and samples were collected at 6, 24, and 48\u00a0h after treatment. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were stimulated with APAP-treated normal mouse liver cell line (AML12) supernatant to mimic sterile inflammatory response. Liver histology, immunostaining, gene expression analysis, flow cytometry, intracellular Ca2+ measurements, and phagocytosis/efferocytosis assays were performed. Piezo1 exerted protective effects against hepatotoxin-induced liver necrosis and promoted liver recovery after APAP overdose. In vitro assays revealed that Piezo1 alleviated the inflammatory response in bone marrow-derived macrophages. Mechanistically, myeloid Piezo1 manifested a more reparative phenotype and enhanced phagocytic activity by upregulating MerTK expression. Specifically, Piezo1 acted through Ca2+ influx to regulate the expression of MerTK at the target binding stage. Inhibition of MerTK induced more pro-inflammatory mediators and reduced phagocytic ability, phenocopying the Piezo1 deficiency. Separately, Piezo1 modulated cytoskeletal rearrangement via the FAK/Rac1 axis during target internalization. Pharmacological activation of Piezo1 promoted pro-resolution marker expression and enhanced efferocytosis/phagocytic clearance in vitro. This study identified myeloid Piezo1 as an important regulator of macrophage-mediated inflammation resolution and dying-cell clearance during AILI, providing a basis for future exploration of Piezo1-related pathways in macrophage-mediated liver recovery.",
        "42523366": "ID: 42523366\nTitle: Targeting cellular senescence alleviates bone marrow aging.\nAbstract: Aging of the hematopoietic system impairs hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function and alters bone marrow niche behavior, increasing susceptibility to anemia, infections, and hematologic malignancies. Here, pharmacologic clearance of senescent cells with the PROTAC compound 753b simultaneously targeting BCL-xL and BCL-2 reverses key secretory, transcriptional, and functional hallmarks of hematopoietic aging with low toxicity, restoring balanced lineage output. Single-cell RNA sequencing further demonstrates that 753b treatment attenuates aging-associated transcriptional signatures in HSCs, while selectively eliminating senescent, pro-survival niche cells without grossly perturbing niche composition. Functionally, 753b suppresses pro-inflammatory cues from both niche and hematopoietic cells including those emanating from neutrophil progenitors, rebalancing global bone marrow secretory ecosystem across stromal and hematopoietic compartments. Collectively, we identify 753b-induced senescent cell clearance as a powerful strategy to rejuvenate aged hematopoiesis and re-establish homeostatic communication between HSCs and their microenvironment, with implications for mitigating age-related hematologic dysfunction and improving hematologic health in older individuals.",
        "42523480": "ID: 42523480\nTitle: Reduced LACTB expression in myeloid cells is associated with elevated succinylcarnitine and reduced Alzheimer's disease risk.\nAbstract: Lactamase \u03b2 (LACTB) is a serine \u03b2-lactamase-like mitochondrial enzyme genetically associated with obesity, kidney disease, and hyperlipidemia. LACTB is located in an Alzheimer's Disease (AD) risk locus and its expression in the brain has been genetically associated with AD susceptibility. The aim of this study was to investigate LACTB function and genetic link to AD in myeloid cells, due to their central role in modulating AD risk. Our Mendelian randomization analyses revealed that lower LACTB expression in myeloid cells is genetically associated with reduced disease susceptibility and increased succinylcarnitine, a metabolite independently associated with AD risk. We identified LACTB as a primary enzyme responsible for succinylcarnitine hydrolysis. In human macrophages and microglia, LACTB loss promoted enhanced oxidative phosphorylation, reduced protein synthesis and altered lipid homeostasis. LACTB expression was upregulated following interferon or TNF stimulation, and LACTB loss modified efferocytosis-related functions under inflammatory conditions. In vivo, xenotransplanted human LACTB knockout microglia showed enhanced association with amyloid plaques in the mouse brain. Together, these findings experimentally validated the genetic association between reduced LACTB expression and elevated succinylcarnitine and identified LACTB as an inflammation-responsive regulator of myeloid cell metabolism and function that may contribute to its protective genetic association with AD. Given its druggability and potential to use succinylcarnitine as a genetically-validated endophenotype and target engagement biomarker, LACTB represents a promising therapeutic target for AD.",
        "42524663": "ID: 42524663\nTitle: Endothelial Senescence-Associated Secretory Signaling Promotes Macrophage Extracellular Traps Formation and Contributes to the Exacerbation of Combined Lung Injury.\nAbstract: Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a common complication of thoracic radiotherapy and can be critically exacerbated by pre-existing pulmonary inflammation, yet the synergistic mechanisms driving this pathology remain elusive. Using a murine model of combined lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and thoracic irradiation (IR), we identified macrophage extracellular traps (METs), a type of web-like chromatin structure released by macrophages, rather than neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), as a prominent pathogenic process. Mechanistically, the combination of LPS and irradiation induced an early endothelial senescence-associated phenotype and a CXC chemokine-enriched secretory profile. These signals engaged macrophage CXCR2, leading to p38/ERK pathway activation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production that contributed to METs formation (METosis). Functionally, METs serve as potential dual-phase mediators, contributing to epithelial barrier disruption during acute injury and promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-like epithelial remodeling, thereby potentially linking early inflammatory damage to subsequent fibrotic progression. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the bioactive compound Cordycepin exerts protective effects by suppressing p38/ERK pathway activation and attenuating METosis. Collectively, these findings support a potential endothelial senescence-associated secretory signaling-METosis axis, providing a novel mechanistic framework and candidate therapeutic strategies for managing high-risk radiation-induced lung injury.",

Beyond their classical roles as immune sentinels, accumulating evidence indicates that IRMs dynamically integrate \u03b2-cell activity, environmental cues, and metabolic stress, thereby coordinating islet homeostasis, adaptive remodelling, and disease progression. However, their context-dependent functions and therapeutic potential remain incompletely understood. This review summarizes current evidence regarding IRM origins, phenotype, metabolic plasticity, and bidirectional crosstalk with \u03b2 cells in health, type 1 diabetes, and type 2 diabetes. We further review emerging therapeutic concepts targeting macrophage metabolism, intercellular communication, and organelle function, while discussing current challenges in translating findings from murine IRMs to human disease. Under physiological conditions, IRMs maintain islet integrity through surveillance, efferocytosis, trophic signalling, redox control, and maintenance of intercellular communication within the islet niche. In diabetes, chronic glucolipotoxicity, autoimmunity, oxidative stress, and amyloid-associated injury can redirect these homeostatic programs toward maladaptive inflammatory states that impair insulin secretion and accelerate \u03b2-cell loss. Collectively, these findings support a unified framework in which IRMs act as immunometabolic hubs integrating local and systemic signals to determine \u03b2-cell fate. IRMs represent central immunometabolic hubs that orchestrate \u03b2-cell fate during health and diabetes. Emerging therapeutic strategies targeting macrophage metabolism, intercellular communication, and organelle function may help prioritize future mechanistic studies and guide safer macrophage-centered interventions for diabetes.",
        "42535557": "ID: 42535557\nTitle: Role of Lipin-1 in Macrophage-Mediated Atherosclerosis: Is It Atherogenic or Atheroprotective?\nAbstract: Macrophages are central regulators of atherosclerosis, governing lipid accumulation, inflammatory signaling, and plaque stability. Lipin-1 is a multifunctional lipid-metabolic regulator that integrates cellular metabolism with inflammatory responses through its dual roles as a phosphatidic acid phosphatase enzyme and a transcriptional coregulator. However, its role in macrophage-driven atherosclerosis remains controversial. This review critically evaluates the domain-specific functions of lipin-1 and their impact on disease progression. Accumulating evidence indicates that lipin-1 exerts divergent, domain-dependent effects. The transcriptional coregulatory activity of lipin-1 promotes peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor \u03b3 coactivator 1-\u03b1 signaling, enhances fatty acid \u03b2-oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation, and supports interleukin-4-driven proresolving macrophage polarization. It also enhances efferocytosis, suppresses sterol regulatory element-binding protein-mediated lipogenesis, and reduces oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced foam-cell formation. These effects are associated with reduced necrotic core formation, lower interleukin-23 signaling, diminished macrophage necroptosis, and improved plaque stability in experimental models. In contrast, the phosphatidic acid phosphatase enzymatic activity of lipin-1 activates diacylglycerol-dependent protein kinase C-extracellular signal-regulated kinase- activator protein-1 and toll-like receptor 4 signaling, promotes inflammatory eicosanoid production, enhances oxidized low-density lipoprotein uptake, impairs cholesterol efflux, and accelerates foam-cell formation and vascular inflammation. Myeloid-specific loss of phosphatidic acid phosphatase activity reduces lesion size and inflammatory burden while improving macrophage lipid handling. Collectively, current evidence supports a domain- and context-dependent role for lipin-1 in atherosclerosis. The transcriptional coregulatory function appears predominantly atheroprotective, whereas phosphatidic acid phosphatase enzymatic activity is proinflammatory and atherogenic. Selective modulation of lipin-1 activity in macrophages may therefore represent a promising therapeutic strategy to limit atherosclerosis progression while preserving inflammation-resolving pathways.",
        "42537764": "ID: 42537764\nTitle: Senescence of the immune system in SLE: Pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic implications.\nAbstract: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease characterized by loss of immune tolerance and multi-organ inflammation. Although its pathogenesis involves multiple factors, the peak incidence of SLE in individuals over 48 years of age points to immunosenescence as a key driver of the disease.Even in younger patients, SLE frequently often presents as premature aging of the immune system. This review synthesizes recent advances in understanding how immunosenescence drives pathogenesis through immune dysregulation across major lymphocyte and myeloid subsets. Within the chronic inflammatory microenvironment, replicative exhaustion of T cells leads to accelerated telomere attrition, persistent activation of the DNA damage response, and telomerase dysfunction. This cascade culminates in the accumulation of senescent T cells displaying a characteristic CD28-CD57+KLRG1+ phenotype, accompanied by a pro-inflammatory state defined by enhanced cytotoxicity and impaired regulatory function. These characteristics correlated directly with disease activity and cumulative organ damage. The process arises from the interplay of metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic remodeling. In parallel, age-associated B cells (ABCs) accumulate, producing high-affinity anti-dsDNA and other autoantibodies, and potentiating inflammation via enhanced antigen presentation. Meanwhile, an aged bone-marrow microenvironment together with clonal hematopoiesis skews monocyte and macrophage polarization toward a pro-inflammatory (M1) profile. These cells show reduced phagocytic capacity and heightened secretion of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP)-like mediators, further driving inflammaging. This review synthesizes current insights into the relationship between SLE risk and immunosenescence. We discuss the mechanisms through which immune aging instigates autoimmunity and explore emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at mitigating immunosenescence.",
        "42539792": "ID: 42539792\nTitle: Fetal sex shapes maternal immune adaptation: placental extracellular vesicles differentially reprogram the phenotype, metabolism, and function of circulating monocytes.\nAbstract: Maternal immune adaptation during pregnancy is orchestrated by dynamic signals from the uterine microenvironment, including placental extracellular vesicles (pEVs) released into maternal circulation. EVs have emerged as key mediators of this crosstalk; however, their role in sex-specific immune modulation remains incompletely defined. Here, we investigated whether pEVs derived from term placentas induce sex-dependent changes in the phenotype, metabolism, and function of human monocytes. pEVs were isolated from 13 term uncomplicated placentas (six male-derived, M-pEVs, and seven female-derived, F-pEVs) and characterized by complementary approaches, revealing similar size distributions and concentrations, with differences in physicochemical properties and molecular cargo. Circulating monocytes from 17 non-pregnant female donors were exposed to M-pEVs or F-pEVs and analyzed for phenotypic, metabolic, and functional responses. pEVs induced distinct activation profiles depending on fetal sex. F-pEVs reduced CD11b and CD11c expression while increasing CD14, CD39 and IL-10 production. On the other hand, M-pEVs increased CD14 expression and enhanced IL-1\u03b2 secretion. Both nanovesicles populations increased IL-10 and CXCL8 release and promoted a shift toward classical monocytes (CD14+CD16-) with a reduction in the intermediate subsets. Metabolic analyses revealed divergent immunometabolic programs: M-pEVs promoted lactate and reactive oxygen species production, whereas F-pEVs enhanced lactate production, fatty acid uptake, lipid droplet accumulation, and mitochondrial activity without increasing ROS. Functionally, both pEV populations increased efferocytosis, with a distinct sensitivity to metabolic inhibitors. These findings demonstrate that pEVs differentially modulate circulating monocytes according to fetal sex and support a role for fetal sex in shaping maternal immunometabolic responses.",
        "42541333": "ID: 42541333\nTitle: NLRC5-Deficient Macrophages Promote a Tumor-Permissive Phenotype via AXL- and MERTK-Mediated Efferocytosis.\nAbstract: The innate immune protein NLRC5 plays a key role in cancer immune surveillance. Reduced NLRC5 expression is associated with a poor prognosis for many types of cancers. Previously, we showed that mice with a myeloid-specific deletion of Nlrc5 (Nlrc5m\u00f8-KO) develop gastric lymphoid lesions to Helicobacter infection resembling early-stage marginal zone lymphoma. We hypothesized that NLRC5 deficiency may promote a tumor-permissive microenvironment mediated by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Consistent with this hypothesis, splenic macrophages from Helicobacter-infected Nlrc5m\u00f8-KO mice had upregulated expression of genes encoding the TAM receptor tyrosine kinases, Axl and Mertk. The levels of AXL and MERTK gene expression and MERTK phosphorylation were increased in NLRC5-/- THP-1 macrophages when compared with WT cells. In response to Helicobacter stimulation, Nlrc5-/- macrophages had significantly elevated anti-inflammatory responses (IL-10, TGF-\u03b2, Socs1, Socs3) compared with WT cells. Importantly, Nlrc5-/-macrophages showed enhanced efferocytosis and reduced antigen presentation to CD8+ T cells. Pretreatment of macrophages with AXL and MERTK inhibitors (R428, UNC2025) resulted in reduced efferocytosis and phosphorylation of downstream signaling molecules, STAT3 and ERK1/2. We propose that defective NLRC5 signaling in macrophages leads to tumor-permissive responses, thereby promoting the development of gastric lymphoid neogenesis to Helicobacter infection.",

        "42558044": "ID: 42558044\nTitle: Macrophage PIM1 Drives Atherosclerosis by Enhancing Foam Cell Formation Via CD36.\nAbstract: Atherosclerosis is characterized by the buildup of fatty plaques that thicken and stiffen arterial walls. Macrophages (M\u03c6s) significantly contribute to this process through their scavenger receptor CD36. PIM1 is a serine/threonine kinase known to modulate immune responses and cell metabolism. However, its role in M\u03c6 lipid handling and atherogenesis is not well defined. This study examines the role of PIM1 in regulating CD36 expression and function in M\u03c6s during foam cell formation and atherosclerosis progression. We performed in vitro studies by treating murine peritoneal M\u03c6s from Pim1-/- and wild-type mice with oxLDL (oxidized low-density lipoprotein). We measured CD36, PIM1, and plaque-associated proteins and mRNA levels, oxLDL binding and uptake rates, and foam cell formation. For in vivo studies, we fed myeloid-specific Pim1-deficient (Apoe-/-Lyz2Cre/+Pim1fl/fl) and their littermate control (Apoe-/-Pim1fl/fl) mice a high-fat diet for 12 weeks. We then evaluated plaque formation in their aortic sinuses and arches. Deletion of Pim1 in M\u03c6s reduced CD36 protein expression by up to 96.7% compared with wild-type controls. This led to a 49.6% decrease in foam cell formation and a 25.5% reduction in cellular cholesterol after oxLDL treatment. Pharmacological inhibition of PIM kinase activity in wild-type M\u03c6s also impaired oxLDL handling, with a 64.5% reduction in binding and a 57.9% reduction in uptake. Bulk RNA-sequencing revealed that Pim1 deficiency downregulated PPAR\u03b3 (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma) signaling. Treatment with a PPAR\u03b3 agonist restored CD36 levels in the Pim1 knockdown M\u03c6s, suggesting that PIM1 regulates CD36 through PPAR\u03b3. Moreover, Pim1 myeloid-specific deficiency caused a 69.4% reduction in atherosclerotic plaque formation. PIM1 acts as a key upstream regulator of CD36 by enhancing PPAR\u03b3 activity in M\u03c6s. The PIM1-CD36 axis promotes oxLDL binding, uptake, and foam cell formation. Targeting the PIM1/PPAR\u03b3/CD36 pathway could offer new ways to modulate M\u03c6 lipid metabolism and reduce atherosclerotic plaque progression.",
        "42558291": "ID: 42558291\nTitle: IL-33 promotes efferocytosis by peritoneal macrophages by a mechanism associated with rapid granulocyte IL-13 production.\nAbstract: Resolution of inflammation is an active process that requires efferocytosis, the engulfment of apoptotic cells by macrophages, mediated by receptors such as MerTK. IL-33 is an alarmin that initiates type 2 immune responses, including increased production of IL-13, which promotes MerTK expression. The ability of IL-33 to promote efferocytosis in vivo was examined. Intraperitoneal administration of IL-33 to mice increased local MerTK+ macrophage numbers within 48h. MerTK+ macrophages were not similarly induced by free mitochondria, an alternative cell damage associated signal. Efferocytotic activity was increased rapidly in response to apoptotic thymocytes in IL-33-treated mice. The established inducer of MerTK expression, IL-13, was detected in peritoneal lavage fluid shortly after IL-33 administration. Peritoneal eosinophils expressed the IL-33 receptor and demonstrated both intracellular IL-13 by flow cytometry and significantly increased Il13 transcript expression following IL-33 treatment. In contrast, neither elevated IL-13 expression nor IL-13 protein secretion was observed in peritoneal lymphocyte populations within the first 6 hours after IL-33 administration. Primary cultures of bone marrow-derived mouse mast cells and eosinophils demonstrated IL-13 protein responses to IL-33 administration within 6\u00a0h. Mast cell-deficient Cpa3-Cre; Mcl-1fl/fl mice had significantly reduced IL-13 levels in the peritoneal cavity 3 hours after IL-33 administration when compared with mast cell-containing littermates. In contrast, IL-33-treated eosinophil-deficient \u0394dblGATA mice had similar levels of IL-13 at this time point as wild type controls. These data demonstrate that IL-33 promotes MerTK expression, critical for efferocytosis by macrophages, by a process associated with an early rapid local increase in IL-13 production to which mast cells are a substantial early contributor. These findings contribute to our understanding of clinical situations where elevated soluble IL-33 receptor (sST2) and/or lower mast cell numbers are associated with worse clinical outcome."

First, the role of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) in neutrophils presents a dichotomy: while ID 40593101 indicates that exogenous H2S (via STS) exacerbates aneurysm progression, broader literature [ID: 41206959] characterizes H2S as a protective, pro-resolving agent. This indicates that physiological outcomes are highly dependent on tissue context [ID: 40593101, 41206959]. Second, macrophage circadian rhythmicity is under debate. Research [ID: 38817112] supports cell-intrinsic clock mechanisms, whereas [ID: 29281921] suggests that in vivo fungal clearance rhythms operate independently of these intrinsic clocks, implying external regulatory dependencies."
