Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has revolutionized cancer treatment and is now being explored for other diseases, such as autoimmune disorders. While the tumor microenvironment (TME) in cancer is often immunosuppressive, in autoimmune diseases, the environment is typically inflammatory. Both environments can negatively impact CAR T cell survival: the former through direct suppression, hypoxia, and nutrient deprivation, and the latter through chronic T cell receptor (TCR) engagement, risking exhaustion.

Background: Myocarditis tends to lead to a poor prognosis, but there are no satisfactory preventive or therapeutic strategies. Erianin, a natural benzene compound, has been found to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the effects of erianin on myocarditis remain unclear.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a T cell-dependent, B cell-mediated disorder strongly associated with antigen presentation by dendritic cells (DCs). In MG, mucosal tolerance is linked to increased expression of TGF-β mRNA in monocytes. Additionally, monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSCs) exhibit negative immunomodulatory effects by suppressing autoreactive T and B cells.

Conventional treatments for autoimmune uveitis, such as corticosteroids and systemic immunosuppressants, often result in adverse side effects, prompting the need for therapies targeting specific molecular pathways. This study investigates the effects of Arctiin, known for its diverse biological properties, on experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) through its action on Th17 cells and the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Our findings reveal that Arctiin significantly alleviates EAU by reducing clinical scores, inflammatory cell infiltration, and levels of inflammatory cytokines like IL-17 and TNF-α in the eye.

Background: Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) often results from neuroinflammation. Recent studies have shown that brain platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ) cells, including pericytes, may act as early sensors of infection by secreting monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), which transmits inflammatory signals to the central nervous system. The erythroblast transformation-specific (ETS) transcription factor Friend leukemia virus integration 1 (Fli-1) plays a critical role in inflammation by regulating the expression of key cytokines, including MCP-1.
