AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Swine monocytes constitute a heterogeneous cell population containing subsets with distinct functional capacities or representing different maturational stages. Based on the expression of CD163, we have recently identified two monocyte subpopulations. In this study, we investigate the ability of both CD163- and CD163+ monocytes to differentiate into dendritic cells (DCs) in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4. Monocyte differentiation into DC is accompanied by an up-regulation of the expression of swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) I, SLA II and CD80/86 molecules, and a decrease in the expression of CD14, CD16 and CD163. These DC express the pan-myeloid marker SWC3 and display typical dendritic cytoplasmic projections. When monocytes are split into CD163+ and CD163- cells, both subsets give rise to DC. However, compared to CD163- monocyte-derived DC (MoDC), CD163+ MoDC appear to have reached a more advanced stage of maturation, expressing higher levels of SLA II and CD80/86 and inducing more efficiently proliferation of T cells to recall antigens and alloantigens.

Synovial sarcoma is an aggressive soft-tissue cancer that shows limited responses to current immunotherapeutic approaches using immune checkpoint blockade or adoptive cell therapy. To improve immunotherapy for this cancer, understanding how the immune cells in the tumor microenvironment associate with histological subtype, disease progression and current therapies is vital. To evaluate the immune infiltrate in synovial sarcoma in relation to histological subtype, disease progression and in response to cytotoxic treatment, we performed immunodetection of T cells, CD68 myeloid cells, endothelial cells and keratin on a series of 41 synovial sarcoma patients at various stages of disease.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful degenerative joint disease and a leading source of years lived with disability globally due to inadequate treatment options. Neuroimmune interactions reportedly contribute to OA pain pathogenesis. Notably, in rodents, macrophages in the DRG are associated with onset of persistent OA pain.

Background: The precise role of Galectin-9, an immune checkpoint protein involved in immune responses, in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains elusive. Importantly, the prognostic value of serum Galectin-9 has not been clarified, and its association with infiltrating immune characteristics was unclear.
Methods: The association between serum Galectin-9 concentration and HCC recurrence was analyzed in two cohorts of HCC patients (training 133; validation 97) who received curative resection during 2018 and 2019.

The promise of injection of extracellular matrix (ECM) from animal hearts as a treatment of myocardial ischemia has been limited by immune reactions and harsh ECM-damaging extraction procedures. We developed a novel method to produce lab-grown human 3D acellular ECM particles from human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to mitigate product variability, immunogenicity, and preserve ECM architecture. We hypothesized that intramyocardial injection (I/M) of this novel ECM (dia ~200 microns) would improve cardiac function in a post-myocardial infarction (MI) murine model.

Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN), a severe complication of diabetes, is characterized by glomerular and tubular damage, which often leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The role of renal macrophages (Mφs), particularly their phenotypic plasticity and function in DN, remains poorly understood. This study investigated the key factors influencing Mφ polarization and their impact on podocyte (PODO) injury in DN.
