Thorium (Th) is widely distributed in the earth's crust and poses a risk to human health. In this study, the viability of murine macrophages RAW264.7 cells was evaluated, and changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were assessed under various Th(IV) stress. The mechanism of Th(IV) on RAW264.7 was investigated using proteomics approaches. The results indicated that cell viability decreased with the increase of Th(IV) concentration, and Th(IV) caused cells to produce ROS and reduce MMP. Proteomics analysis revealed that Th(IV) affected the expression of nuclear proteins and transport-related proteins, inhibiting cell growth. Western blot analysis was performed on HtrA2, ARFGAP1, STAT3, CyclinD1, AKT, and GSK-3β, which confirmed the findings of the proteome analysis. This study contributed to elucidating damage mechanisms of Th(IV) on RAW264.7 cells.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a prevalent and severe clinical condition characterized by inflammatory damage to the lung endothelial and epithelial barriers, resulting in high incidence and mortality rates. Currently, there is a lack of safe and effective drugs for the treatment of ALI. In a previous clinical study, we observed that Jinyinqingre oral liquid (JYQR), a Traditional Chinese Medicine formulation prepared by the Taihe Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Hubei University of Medicine, exhibited notable efficacy in treating inflammation-related hepatitis and cholecystitis in clinical settings.

Background & Aims: Fasting and calorie restriction are associated with a prolonged life span and an increased resistance to stress. The protective effects of fasting have been exploited for the mitigation of ischemic organ injury, yet the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we investigated whether fasting protects liver against ischemia reperfusion (IR) through energy-preserving or anti-inflammatory mechanisms.

Objective: To investigate the effect of RNA interfering TLR4 signal pathway on phagocytosis of Kupffer cells.
Methods: RAW2647 mice mononuclear macrophage leukemia cells were observed. The tested group was interfered by Tlr4-mus-1567 RNA which had the best result confirmed by QPCR, cells interfered by Negative Control RNA as NC group, and normal cell as control.

Macrophages can be activated through TLRs for a variety of innate immune responses. In contrast with the wealth of data existing on TLR-dependent gene expression and resultant cytokine production, very little is known on the mechanisms governing TLR-mediated arachidonic acid (AA) mobilization and subsequent eicosanoid production. We have previously reported the involvement of both cytosolic group IVA phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) and secreted group V phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)-V) in regulating the AA mobilization response of macrophages exposed to bacterial LPS, a TLR4 agonist.
