Article Abstract
In vitro models are often used for studying macrophage functions, including the process of phagocytosis. The application of primary macrophages has limitations associated with the individual characteristics of animals, which can lead to insufficient standardization and higher variability of the obtained results. Immortalized cell lines do not have these disadvantages, but their responses to various signals can differ from those of the living organism. In the present study, a comparative proteomic analysis of immortalized PMJ2-R cell line and primary peritoneal macrophages isolated from C57BL/6 mice was performed. A total of 4005 proteins were identified, of which 797 were quantified. Obtained results indicate significant differences in the abundances of many proteins, including essential proteins associated with the process of phagocytosis, such as Elmo1, Gsn, Hspa8, Itgb1, Ncf2, Rac2, Rack1, Sirpa, Sod1, C3, and Msr1. These findings indicate that outcomes of studies utilizing PMJ2-R cells as a model of peritoneal macrophages should be carefully validated. All MS data are deposited in ProteomeXchange with the identifier PXD022133.

Immune-related factors may serve an important role in the development of endometriosis, considering the occurrence of substantial abnormalities in the immune system of women with endometriosis, including reduced T-cell reactivity and natural killer cell cytotoxicity, as well as increased numbers and activation of peritoneal macrophages. Moreover, women suffering from endometriosis are at a higher risk for developing various autoimmune diseases as comorbidities of endometriosis. Recent epidemiological data demonstrate that patients with endometriosis have a significantly higher risk (2.

Objective: Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) has been demonstrated to enhance cardiac function in patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), the underlying mechanism remains unclear.
Methods: A DCM rat model was established, BHB was administered via intraperitoneal injection. The therapeutic effects of BHB were assessed based on cardiac function, fasting glucose levels, myocardial fibrosis markers and myocardial macrophage polarization.

Xenogeneic cell transplantation often faces significant immune rejection, even in immunodeficient animal models. Among residual immune components, macrophages can actively phagocytose transplanted human cells, posing a challenge to long-term engraftment. To address this, we developed a standardized in vitro assay to quantify macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of human versus rat red blood cells (RBCs).

Objective: Endotoxin tolerance (ET) has been demonstrated to attenuate the inflammatory response in murine models of sepsis. This study seeks to elucidate the underlying mechanisms by which ET modulates inflammation in sepsis, with a particular focus on macrophage autophagy.
Methods: An sepsis model was generated using cecal ligation and perforation, while an model of inflammatory injury was induced via lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of avitinib for suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation and alleviating septic shock and explore the underlying mechanism.
Methods: Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM), human monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from healthy volunteers were pre-treated with avitinib, followed by activation of the canonical NLRP3 inflammasome using agonists including nigericin, monosodium urate (MSU) crystals, or adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Non-canonical NLRP3 inflammasome activation was induced intracellular transfection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
