Objective: To investigate the effect of transplantation of bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the immune functions of aging rats.
Methods: Healthy SD rats were randomized into normal control, aging model group and MSCs group. The aging model was established by daily subcutaneous injection of D-galactose for 4 consecutive months. MSCs were isolated from the bone marrow of adult SD rats and injected (3×10(6) MSCs) in rats in the MSCs group via the tail vein once a week for 4 weeks. The spleen index, activity of T lymphocytes and the levels of IL-2 and IL-10 in spleen were measured, and the pathological changes of the spleen were observed after the treatments.
Results: MSCs transplantation enhanced the cellular immune function of aging rats manifested by obviously increased spleen index, activity of T lymphocyte and the level of IL-2, and lowered level of IL-10 in the spleen. The rats in the aging model group showed serious spleen injury, which was obviously lessened by MSCs injection.
Conclusion: MSCs transplantation can improve the cellular immune function of aging rats and ameliorate spleen injury induced by D-galactose.

Macrophage phagocytosis plays a role in cancer immunotherapy. The phagocytic activity of macrophages, regulated by circadian clock genes, shows time-dependent variation. Intervening in the circadian clock machinery of macrophages is a potentially novel approach to cancer immunotherapy; however, data on this approach are scarce.

White matter has emerged as a key therapeutic target in ischemic stroke due to its role in sensorimotor and cognitive outcomes. Our recent findings have preliminarily revealed a potential link between microglial HDAC3 and white matter injury following stroke. However, the mechanisms by which microglial HDAC3 mediates these effects remain unclear.

Glioblastoma IDH wild type (GBM IDH wt) has a poor prognosis and a strongly associated with inflammatory processes. Inflammatory molecules generate positive feedback with tumor cells fueling tumor growth as well as recruitment of immune cells that promote aggressiveness. Although the role of many inflammatory molecules is well known, there are many macromolecules, such as the S100A proteins, whose role is only now beginning to be established.
