Spatially restricted and ontogenically distinct hepatic macrophages are required for tissue repair.

Immunity

Our understanding of the functional heterogeneity of resident versus recruited macrophages in the diseased liver is limited. A population of recruited lipid-associated macrophages (LAMs) has been reported to populate the diseased liver alongside resident Kupffer cells (KCs). However, the precise roles of these distinct macrophage subsets remain elusive.

Associations of Serum Urate and Cardiovascular Events in a Clinical Trial of Interleukin-1β Blockade.

JACC Adv

January 2025

Center for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention, Divisions of Preventive Medicine and Cardiovascular Diseases, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Background: Serum urate (SU) associates with cardiovascular (CV) events, mortality, and gout.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess whether SU predicts CV risk in a trial of interleukin (IL)-1β inhibition with canakinumab, and whether IL-1β blockade, kidney function, or gout alter these associations.

Methods: This study is a subanalysis of the Canakinumab Antiinflammatory Thrombosis Outcome Study (CANTOS), which randomized 10,061 patients with prior myocardial infarction and elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein to 3 doses of canakinumab or placebo.

Discovery of an Enzyme-Activated Fluorogenic Probe for Profiling of Acylaminoacyl-Peptide Hydrolase.

Anal Chem

Department of Laboratory Medicine, School of Medicine, Yangtze University, Jingzhou 434023, P.R. China.

Acylaminoacyl-peptide hydrolase (APEH), a serine peptidase that belongs to the prolyl oligopeptidase (POP) family, catalyzes removal of N-terminal acetylated amino acid residues from peptides. As a key regulator of protein N-terminal acetylation, APEH was involved in many important physiological processes while its aberrant expression was correlated with progression of various diseases such as inflammation, diabetics, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and cancers. However, while emerging attention has been attracted in APEH-related disease diagnosis and drug discovery, the mechanisms behind APEH and related disease progression are still unclear; thus, further investigating the physiological role and function of APEH is of great importance.

Particulate matter (PM) is a major component of ambient air pollution. PM exposure is linked to numerous adverse health effects, including chronic lung diseases. Air quality guidelines designed to regulate levels of ambient PM are currently based on the mass concentration of different particle sizes, independent of their origin and chemical composition.

Chronic hepatobiliary damage progressively leads to fibrosis, which may evolve into cirrhosis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma. The fight against the increasing incidence of liver-related morbidity and mortality is challenged by a lack of clinically validated early-stage biomarkers and the limited availability of effective anti-fibrotic therapies. Current research is focused on uncovering the pathogenetic mechanisms that drive liver fibrosis.
