Introduction: The present work aimed to assess the effect of bacterial cellulose (BC) from Acetobacter xylinum on some functions of peritoneal macrophages.
Materials And Methods: Mice peritoneal macrophages were lavaged and co-cultured with various concentrations of BC in microtiter plate. Viability of macrophages was determined by MTT assay. Nitric oxide (NO) amount was detected in culture supernatants of macrophages by Griess reagent and cytotoxicity effect of culture supernatants on WEHI-164 cells as tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) bioassay were done.
Results: MTT assay for stimulated macrophages was not different (p = 0.486) and amount of NO production in all doses was the same as unstimulated control macrophages (p = 0.057). Supernatant of macrophages stimulated with 0.01 mg/mL of BC had cytotoxic effect on WEHI-164 fibrosarcoma cells (p = 0.040).
Conclusion: In this study, we showed that BC had no effect on macrophages viability and amount of NO production. BC suppressed the release of TNF-α from macrophages innate immune cells as indication of beneficial effect on wound healing. This data and further studies would imply use of this biomaterial for more applications.

Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a common acute and severe reason of death in the intensive care unit. Although the pathogenesis is complicated and multifactorial, elevated inflammation and oxidative stress are considered as fundamental mechanisms for the progression of ALI. Anemonin is a natural compound with diverse biological properties including anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies worldwide. Despite progress in immunotherapy for cancer treatment, its application and efficacy in ESCC remain limited. Therefore, there is an ongoing need to explore potential molecules and therapeutic strategies related to tumor immunity in ESCC.

Purpose: Cardiomyocyte death is a major cytopathologic response in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and involves complex inflammatory interactions. Although existing reports indicating that mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) is involved in macrophage necroptosis and inflammasome activation, the downstream mechanism of MLKL in necroptosis remain poorly characterized in AMI.
Methods: MLKL knockout mice (MLKL), RIPK3 knockout mice (RIPK3), and macrophage-specific MLKL conditional knockout mice (MLKL) were established.
