Background: Regulatory cytokines play functional roles in experimental heart, hindlimb, and liver ischemia reperfusion injury. However, little is known about their involvement in direct lung ischemia reperfusion injury (LIRI). These studies were undertaken to investigate the role of two regulatory cytokines, interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-10, in an in vivo model of LIRI.
Methods: Left lungs of Long-Evans rats underwent normothermic ischemia for 90 minutes and reperfusion for up to 4 hours. Treated animals received either recombinant IL-4 or recombinant IL-10, or antibodies to IL-4 or IL-10 immediately before reperfusion. Lung injury was quantitated by permeability indices, lung parenchymal neutrophil sequestration (myeloperoxidase [MPO] content), and alveolar leukocyte content in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) effluent. Expression of IL-4 and IL-10 was determined by immunoblotting, and mRNA expression for early response cytokines was evaluated by ribonuclease protection assays.
Results: IL-4 and IL-10 protein expression was significant after 2 hours of reperfusion. Animals receiving anti-IL-4 (p = 0.05) and anti-IL-10 (p = 0.01) antibodies demonstrated increased permeabilities compared with positive controls. Lung tissue neutrophil accumulation (p < 0.004) and BAL leukocyte content (p < 0.04) were also significantly increased in animals receiving anti-IL-10 antibodies. Conversely, animals receiving recombinant IL-4 and recombinant IL-10 demonstrated reduced permeabilities and lung MPO content. Both anti-IL-4 and anti-IL-10 treatment increased mRNA expression for a number of early response cytokines, including TNF-alpha and IL-1beta.
Conclusions: IL-4 and IL-10 are expressed in response to LIRI and function to decrease injury severity. These effects are partly due to modulated expression of early proinflammatory cytokines.

Objectives: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are tissue-resident lymphocytes that have vital roles in activating further immune responses. However, due to their tumor-induced diversity, we decided to examine ILCs, T cells, and the associated cytokines in mouse models of breast cancer.
Materials And Methods: 4T1 and MC4-L2 cells were used to induce triple-negative and hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer, respectively.

Macrophage plasticity is critical for maintaining immune function and developing solid tumors; however, the macrophage polarization mechanism remains incompletely understood. Our findings reveal that Mg entry through distinct plasma membrane channels is critical to macrophage plasticity. Naïve macrophages displayed a previously unidentified Mg dependent current, and TRPM7-like activity, which modulates its survival.

Salivary cytokines have the potential to serve as biomarkers for evaluating cancer progression and treatment response in specific cancer types. This study explored salivary cytokine profiles in pediatric cancer patients and healthy controls, examining changes during chemotherapy. We conducted a prospective study involving newly diagnosed cancer patients and healthy controls under 19 years old.

Background: The role of memory B cells and their subgroups in allergic rhinitis (AR) and allergen immunotherapy (AIT) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of memory B cells in the circulation of patients with AR and those undergoing AIT, as well as their clinical significance.
Methods: This study involved a cohort comprising 32 healthy control subjects, 39 individuals diagnosed with AR, and 31 AR patients who had received AIT for over one year.
