Background/aims: Upregulated CD64 expression on neutrophils is the most useful marker for acute bacterial infections and systemic inflammation. However, it is unknown whether CD64 is involved in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis (AP). This study was designed to determine whether CD64 is implicated in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and thus, is a suitable marker for SAP.
Methods: SAP was induced in rats with an intraperitoneal injection of L-arginine. CD64 expression in the rat pancreas was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry. Additionally, the CD64 mRNA expression in peripheral blood leukocytes from 21 patients with mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) and 10 patients with SAP was investigated at the time of admission and during remission by qRT-PCR.
Results: CD64 mRNA and protein expression in the pancreas was significantly higher in rats with SAP, compared to the controls. The CD64 expression was higher in the patients with SAP than in the patients with MAP. During remission, CD64 mRNA decreased in both the MAP and SAP patients. The area under the curve of CD64 expression for the detection of SAP was superior to both the Ranson and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores.
Conclusions: The CD64 level was significantly increased in correlation with the disease severity in SAP and may act as a useful marker for predicting the development of SAP.

Background: Bovine IgG1 Fc receptor (boFcγRI) is a homologue to human FcγRI (CD64) that has three extracellular Ig-like domains and can bind bovine IgG1 with high affinity. Identification of the linear epitope for Fc-binding on boFcγRI provides new insights for the IgG-Fcγ interaction and FcγR-targeting drugs development.
Methods: The boFcγRI molecules were expressed on cell surface of the boFcγRI -transfected COS-7 cells.

Obesity can change the immune microenvironment of adipose tissue and induce inflammation. This study is dedicated to exploring the internal mechanism by which different intensities of exercise reprogram the immune microenvironment of epididymal adipose tissue in nutritionally obese mice. C57BL/6J male obese mouse models were constructed by high-fat diet, which were respectively obese control group (OC), moderate intensity continuous exercise group (HF-M), high intensity continuous exercise group (HF-H) and high intensity intermittent exercise group (HF-T).

Inflammatory response plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of cholestatic liver injury. PPARα agonists have been shown to regulate bile acid homeostasis and hepatic inflammation. However, the immunoregulatory mechanisms through which PPARα agonists ameliorate cholestatic liver injury remain unclear.

The molecular mechanisms by which worm parasites evade host immunity are incompletely understood. In a mouse model of intestinal helminth infection using (), we show that helminthic glutamate dehydrogenase (heGDH) drives parasite chronicity by suppressing macrophage-mediated host defense. Combining RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, and targeted lipidomics, we identify prostaglandin E (PGE) as a major immune regulatory mechanism of heGDH.

Article Synopsis
- Post Kala-azar Dermal Leishmaniasis (PKDL) emerges as a complication of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), posing challenges for disease management and ongoing elimination efforts due to its potential for ongoing transmission.
- In this study, researchers assessed neutrophils in PKDL patients' skin biopsies, finding increased numbers of activated neutrophils and elevated levels of inflammatory markers compared to healthy controls.
- The findings suggest that activated neutrophils may significantly influence the inflammatory environment in PKDL, highlighting the need for further understanding of their role in the disease's progression and treatment.
