Article Abstract
Slamf8 (CD353) is a cell surface receptor that is expressed upon activation of macrophages (MΦs) by IFN-γ or bacteria. In this article, we report that a very high NADPH oxidase (Nox2) enzyme activity was found in Slamf8(-/-) MΦs in response to Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus aureus, as well as to PMA. The elevated Nox2 activity in Slamf8(-/-) MΦs was also demonstrated in E. coli or S. aureus phagosomes by using a pH indicator system and was further confirmed by a reduction in the enzyme activity after transfection of the receptor into Slamf8-deficient primary MΦs or RAW 264.7 cells. Upon exposure to bacteria or PMA, protein kinase C activity in Slamf8(-/-) MΦs is increased. This results in an enhanced phosphorylation of p40phox, one key component of the Nox2 enzyme complex, which, in turn, leads to greater Nox2 activity. Taken together, the data show that, in response to inflammation-associated stimuli, the inducible receptor Slamf8 negatively regulates inflammatory responses.

The leukocyte NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) is an important regulator of inflammatory responses, independent of its antimicrobial activity. Inactivating mutations in NOX2 cause chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a severe immunodeficiency associated with recurrent infections and dysregulated neutrophilic inflammation. Recurrent oral ulcers, stomatitis, gingivitis, and other inflammatory issues affecting the oral mucosa have been observed in patients with CGD; however, the underlying mechanisms are not known.

Objective: It aimed to thoroughly analyze the promotive outcome of Resolvin D1 (RvD1) on the repair of corneal epithelium (CE) damage in diabetes mellitus (DM) mice and its molecular mechanisms.
Methods: 27 male C57BL/6J mice were selected. Type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM) mice models were prepared by streptozotocin (STZ) intraperitoneal injection (IPI), and central CE scraping was performed on all mice.

Oxidative stress represents a critical pathological mechanism underlying cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) progression. This study investigated the therapeutic potential of gnetupendin A (GA) against CIRI by targeting oxidative stress. In middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) rats, GA treatment significantly ameliorated neurological deficits, reduced infarct volume and cerebral edema, alongside preserved neuronal integrity.

Long-term exercise training elicits tremendous health benefits; however, the molecular understanding is incomplete and identifying therapeutic targets has been challenging. Rho GTPases are among the most regulated groups of proteins after exercise in human skeletal muscle, yet, unexplored candidates for mediating the effects of exercise training. We found that the Rho GTPase Rac1 was activated acutely after multiple exercise modalities in human skeletal muscle.

The relationship between periodontitis and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) extends beyond epidemiological associations, as demonstrated by meta-analyses showing a significantly increased risk for coronary heart disease development. At the core of this association lies systemic inflammation, where periodontal pathogens initiate cascades of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This inflammatory response manifests through substantial elevations in interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in periodontitis patients.
