Spontaneous abortion is associated with aberrant lipid metabolism, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we show that lipids are accumulated in decidual stromal cells (DSCs) and macrophages (dMφs) in women with miscarriage and mouse abortion-prone models. Moreover, we show that excessive lipids from DSCs are transferred to dMφs via a CD36-dependent mechanism that induces inflammation in dMφs.

Inflammation is known to be an essential trigger of the pathological changes that have a critical impact on nerve repair and regeneration; moreover, damage to peripheral nerves can cause a loss of sensory function and produces persistent neuropathic pain. To date, various potential approaches for neuropathic pain have focused on controlling neuroinflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of a new association of ultramicronized Palmitoylethanolamide (PEAum), an Autacoid Local Injury Antagonist Amide (ALIAmide) with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, with Paracetamol, a common analgesic, in a rat model of sciatic nerve injury (SNI).

The effective prevention of tumor initiation, especially for potentially inoperable tumors, will be beneficial to obtain an overall higher quality of our health and life. Hence, thorough understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of early tumor formation arising from identifiable cellular origins is required to develop efficient preventative and early treatment options for each tumor type. Here, using genetically engineered mouse models, we provide preclinical experimental evidence for a long-standing open question regarding the pathophysiological potential of a microenvironmental and physiological stressor in tumor development, gastric acid-mediated regional microscopic injury in foregut squamous epithelia.

Lysophosphatidylcholine (LysoPC) has been shown to induce the expression of inflammatory proteins, including cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), associated with cardiac fibrosis. Here, we demonstrated that LysoPC-induced COX-2 and IL-6 expression was inhibited by silencing NADPH oxidase 1, 2, 4, 5; p65; and FoxO1 in human cardiac fibroblasts (HCFs). LysoPC-induced IL-6 expression was attenuated by a COX-2 inhibitor.

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) was used to elucidate host lipids involved in the inflammatory signaling pathway generated at the host-pathogen interface during a septic bacterial infection. Using as a model organism, a bacterial lipid virulence factor (endotoxin) was imaged and identified along with host phospholipids involved in the splenic response in murine tissues. Here, we demonstrate detection and distribution of endotoxin in a lethal murine infection model, in addition to determining the temporally and spatially resolved innate lipid inflammatory response in both 2D and 3D renderings using MSI.
