Background: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced apoptosis of lung microvascular endothelial cells (ECs) is the main reason of lung edema and acute lung injury (ALI) in septic conditions. Telocytes (TCs) are a distinct type of interstitial cells found around the lung microvasculature, which may protect ECs through the release of shed vesicles. However, whether TCs protect against LPS-induced EC apoptosis and ALI has not been determined.

College of Life Science and Engineering, Foshan University, Foshan; College of Animal Science and Technology, Jiangxi Agricultural University, Nanchang.

Telocytes (TCs) have been identified in various animals. However, information on TCs in the embryos is still very limited. In this work, the developing skin of the silky fowl was sampled for TCs identification by histology, immunohistochemistry and transmission electron microscopy.

Background: Recent studies have emphasized the critical role of Telocytes (TCs)-derived exosomes in organ tissue injury and repair. Our previous research showed a significant increase in ITGB1 within TCs. Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is marked by a loss of microvessel regeneration and progressive vascular remodeling.

The peripheral nerve injury (PNI) affects the morphology of the whole locomotor apparatus, which can reach the myotendinous junction (MTJ) interface. In the injury condition, the skeletal muscle satellite cells (SC) are triggered, activated, and proliferated to repair their structure, and in the MTJ, the telocytes (TC) are associated to support the interface with the need for remodeling; in that way, these cells can be associated with SC. The study aimed to describe the SC and TC relationship after PNI at the MTJ.

Aims: Previous studies have demonstrated a significant upregulation of Integrin Beta 1 (ITGB1) in Telocytes. This study aims to explore the roles and underlying mechanisms of ITGB1 in inflammation and oxidative stress following Lipo-polysaccharide (LPS) administration in Telocytes.

Methods: We observed an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, accompanied by a reduction in ITGB1 levels post-LPS treatment.
