CD38 signaling, either induced by ligation with specific agonistic monoclonal antibody (mAb) or after interaction with CD31, its cognate counter-receptor, is involved in release of IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-10 cytokines in resting human monocytes. CD38 ligation by the F(ab')(2) IB4 mAb did not induce signals relevant for cytokine secretion and the block of the Fcgamma receptor I (FcgammaRI) by anti-CD64 or FcgammaRII by anti-CD32 mAb did not inhibit CD38-mediated IL-1beta release. Dimerization or multimerization of the CD38 molecule by: (i) cross-linking of the receptor ligated by F(ab')(2) or by (ii) increasing CD38 expression by treating monocytes with IFNgamma were able to restore the truncated CD38-mediated signals involved in cytokine secretion. These data indicate that CD38 receptor-mediated signals operate directly suggesting a Fcgamma receptorial surface molecule independent activation pathway. The key element for the receptor mediated signaling is represented by surface density of CD38 on resting monocytes.

Background And Hypothesis: Activated macrophages, pivotal for driving the immune response in sepsis, express high levels of CD38. Although the circulating levels of its ligand, CD31, increase in sepsis, the functions of CD38 and its ligation remain elusive. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of CD38 ligation on sepsis using single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq and snRNA-seq, respectively) to identify a novel therapeutic target for severe sepsis.

Vascular endothelial cells have important tissue-specific functions in fibrosis and regeneration. In the salivary gland, endothelial cells are required for proper development, but their roles within adult glands are largely unknown. To identify ligand-receptor interactions between endothelial cells and other cell types that may be important during fibrosis and regeneration, we used a reversible ductal ligation injury.

Objective: Acute lung injury (ALI) is featured as excessive inflammatory response and oxidative damage, and results in high death rate of septic patients. This research intends to determine the function of multiple EGF like domains 6 (MEGF6) in sepsis-induced ALI.
Methods: Mice were intratracheally treated with adenovirus to knock down or overexpress MEGF6 in lung tissues, and then were subjected to cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) operation to induce ALI.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common hematologic malignancies derived from self-renewing and highly propagating leukemic stem cells (LSCs). We have previously identified T-cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (TIM-3) as an AML LSC-specific surface molecule by comparing the gene expression profiles of LSCs and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). TIM-3 expression clearly discriminates LSCs from HSCs within the CD34CD38 stem cell fraction.

Ischemia and perfusion (I/R) induce inflammation and oxidative stress, which play a notable role in tissue damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of an NADPH oxidase inhibitor (apocynin) in the protection of the heart from I/R injury. Hearts isolated from Wistar rats (n = 8 per group) were perfused with a modified Langendorff preparation.
