Article Abstract
CCL2, a pivotal cytokine within the chemokine family, functions by binding to its receptor CCR2. The CCL2/CCR2 signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the development of fibrosis across multiple organ systems by modulating the recruitment and activation of immune cells, which in turn influences the progression of fibrotic diseases in the liver, intestines, pancreas, heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs. This paper introduces the biological functions of CCL2 and CCR2, highlighting their similarities and differences concerning fibrotic disorders in various organ systems, and reviews recent progress in the diagnosis and treatment of clinical fibrotic diseases linked to the CCL2/CCR2 signaling pathway. Additionally, further in-depth research is needed to explore the clinical significance of the CCL2/CCR2 axis in fibrotic conditions affecting different organs.

Sepsis-induced myocardial injury (SIMI) significantly contributes to sepsis-related mortality, yet effective therapies remain limited. This study investigated the cardioprotective potential of isopropyl 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-hydroxypropanoate (IDHP), a bioactive metabolite from , focusing on its mechanism via the GAS6/Axl signaling axis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced myocardial injury. Using an in vitro HL-1 cardiomyocyte model, IDHP's cytotoxicity was assessed (0-20 μM).

Background: The involvement of CCL2/CCR2 in leukemic cell infiltration into the skin, specifically in leukemia cutis (LC), remains largely unexplored. Oxidative stress has been demonstrated to induce the upregulation of CCL2 expression, while the antioxidant properties of azelaic acid (AZA) have been proven to exert anti-acute myeloid leukemia (AML) effects.
Aims: To investigate the role of CCL2/CCR2 in the pathogenesis of leukemia cutis, and to evaluate whether azelaic acid (AZA) can inhibit the infiltration of leukemic cells into the skin and its possible mechanism.

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a dismal survival rate due to limited effective therapies. While studies have focused on innate immune cell influence on adaptive immune cell functions, few have explored interactions between innate immune cells, which modulate the unique PDAC tumor microenvironment (TME). Macrophages are responsible for clearance of neutrophil-mediated inflammation in physiologic immune responses; however, these cells co-exist in PDAC.

With over 60,000 cases diagnosed in women annually, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is the most common form of pre-invasive breast cancer in the US. Despite standardized therapy, under-treatment and over-treatment are prevailing concerns. By understanding the mechanisms regulating DCIS progression, we may develop tailored strategies to improve treatment.

Myocarditis refers to localized or diffuse inflammatory lesions of the myocardium. Experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) in mice is commonly utilized as an animal model for studying the pathogenesis of myocarditis. Baicalein (BAI), the main active component extracted from Scutellaria baicalensis root, has been proven to possess diverse effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and antioxidant activities.
