Article Abstract
Background: In recent years, it has been found that Th1 inflammation characterized by elevated levels of IFN-γ can be observed in the airways of patients with severe asthma, accompanied by polarization of M1 macrophages. However, the specific pathogenic role of M1 macrophages and their intrinsic regulatory factors in the development of asthma is still unclear.
Objective: We sought to investigate whether CXCL10 regulates M1 macrophage polarization through Sirt3.
Methods: Collecting peripheral blood samples from asthmatic children, ELISA was used to detect the levels of CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11, and Western blot analyses was used to detect of the levels of Sirt3. We constructed an asthma mouse model and observed changes in macrophage polarization and Sirt3 by neutralizing CXCL10 or injecting CXCR antagonist AMG487. In addition, the effect of CXCL10 on Sirt3 mediated macrophage polarization was elucidated through in vitro experiments. The effect of M1 macrophage polarization on airway epithelial cells was investigated by co-culturing with conditioned medium.
Results: Clinical investigations showed that CXCL10 was highly expressed in peripheral blood of children with asthma, and was associated with impaired lung function (FEV1/FVC). Sirt3 expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cell was decreased. CXCL10 was found to the development of disease by promoting the M1 polarization of macrophages. Mechanistically, Sirt3 overexpression improved CXCL10-induced macrophage polarization.
Conclusions: CXCL10 promotes M1 macrophage polarization by inhibiting Sirt3, which plays an important role in the development of asthma.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) carries a substantial risk of recurrence and metastasis, posing significant threats to patients' health and quality of life. Centrosomal protein 55 (CEP55) has been demonstrated to exhibit elevated expression levels in TNBC. However, its molecular regulatory mechanism in TNBC remains unclear.

Background: Patients with chronic lung diseases often suffer from pulmonary aspergillosis, caused by Aspergillus fumigatus (AF). Alveolar macrophages play a key role in the initial immune response to AF. Azithromycin (AZM), commonly known for its immunomodulatory properties in reducing exacerbations and improving lung function, has mixed effects on the development of aspergillosis.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a pivotal role in cancer progression, though the molecular regulators governing its immunosuppressive properties remain incompletely characterized. In this study, we identify Makorin-2 (MKRN2) as a novel modulator of TME remodeling through integrated analyses of genetically engineered mouse models and human clinical data. Utilizing MKRN2 knockout mice, we observed significantly accelerated tumor growth compared to wild-type control, which was associated with profound alterations in immune cell composition, especially M2 macrophages.

Background: Bone infection induces a strong inflammatory response and leads to impaired bone regeneration, in which macrophages sense mechanistic signals and modulate immune responses in the inflammatory microenvironment through Piezo1. Nonetheless, the regulatory role of Piezo1 in macrophages during bone infection remains elusive.
Methods: Rat models of infected bone defects were established for bulk RNA sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a highly virulent and drug-resistant pathogen frequently causing bacterial pneumonia. Currently, there are limited effective treatments available due to the rapidly evolving resistance of bacteria. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel therapies that focus on host-pathogen interactions.
