Mast cells (MCs) are best known for eliciting harmful reactions, mostly after primary immunity has been established. Here, we report that, during footpad infection with E. coli in MC-deficient mice, as compared to their MC-sufficient counterparts, the serum antibody response is significantly diminished and less protective following passive immunization in a urinary tract infection (UTI) model in wild-type mice. MCs were found to recruit large numbers of dendritic cells (DCs) into the infected tissue site, which eventually migrated into draining lymph nodes (DLNs) during a prolonged time course. This pattern of trafficking was facilitated by MC-generated TNF, which increased the expression of E-selectin on local blood vessels. Antibody blockade of E-selectin inhibited DC recruitment into the site of infection and DLNs and consequently impaired the primary humoral immune response. Thus, during infection, resident MCs contribute to the primary protective adaptive response through recruitment of DCs from the circulation into infected sites.

The role of lnc‑MAPKAPK5‑AS1 in immune cell infiltration in hepatocellular carcinoma: Bioinformatics analysis and validation.

Oncol Lett

March 2025

Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention, School of Public Health, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong 511436, P.R. China.

The oncogenic and tumor suppressor roles of lnc-MAPKAPK5-AS1 in multiple cancers suggest its complexity in modulating cancer progression. The expression and promoter methylation level of lnc-MAPKAPK5-AS1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was investigated through data mining from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus and its significance in prognosis and immunity was explored. lnc-MAPKAPK5-AS1 was co-expressed with its protein-coding gene MAPKAPK5 in HCC and exhibited upregulation in HCC tissues as a result of hypomethylation of its promoter region.

Diabetes Department of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine, China National Center for Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, China- Japan Friendship Hospital, Beijing, China.

Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is recognized as a significant complication of diabetes mellitus and categorized into glomerular DKDs and tubular DKDs, each governed by distinct pathological mechanisms and biomarkers.

Methods: Through the identification of common features observed in glomerular and tubular lesions in DKD, numerous differentially expressed gene were identified by the machine learning, single-cell transcriptome and mendelian randomization.

Results: The diagnostic markers versican (VCAN) was identified, offering supplementary options for clinical diagnosis.

Background: Cuproptosis is a novel form of cell death, acting on the tricarboxylic acid cycle in mitochondrial respiration and mediated by protein lipoylation. Other cancer cell death processes, such as necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, have been shown to play crucial roles in the therapy and prognosis of ovarian cancer. However, the role of cuproptosis in ovarian cancer remains unclear.

Immunoglobulin (Ig) E is a key mediator in the induction and maintenance of allergic inflammation, characterized by a Th2-dominated immune response. Recently epidemiological studies have showed that elevated serum total IgE levels or an increased abundance of mast cells (MCs) at the lesion site are observed in psoriatic patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as atherosclerosis. Although the underlying mechanisms by which IgE synergizing with MCs in promoting these chronic immune-inflammatory diseases remain unclear, the interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 axis appears to play a crucial role in comorbidity of psoriasis and atherosclerosis.

Food allergy is a complex disease, with multiple environmental factors involved. Considering the regulatory effect of toxin A (Tcd A) on biological processes of allergic reactions, the role of oral exposure to Tcd A on food allergy was investigated. The intestinal permeability and β-hexosaminidase were promoted by Tcd A using the in vitro Caco-2 and HT-29 cells coculture monolayer and bone marrow-derived mast cell (MCs) degranulation model.
