Cerebral ischemia is a serious disease characterized by brain tissue ischemia and hypoxic necrosis caused by the blockage of blood vessels within the central nervous system. Although stem cell therapy is a promising approach for treating ischemic stroke, the inflammatory, oxidative, and hypoxic environment generated by cerebral ischemia greatly reduces the survival and therapeutic effects of transplanted stem cells. Endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) are a class of precursor cells with strong proliferative potential that can migrate and differentiate directly into mature vascular endothelial cells.

Rationale: In recent years, monocyte chemotactic protein-induced protein 1 (MCPIP1) has been reported to control inflammation via IL-10.
Objectives: The aims of this study were to determine (1) whether MCPIP1 can repair damage to the immune system after alcohol use and (2) whether MCPIP1 can repair the immune function impaired by alcohol use through the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. Our results will inform the treatment of immune dysfunction caused by alcohol consumption.

Inflammatory response is a host-protective mechanism against tissue injury or infections, but also has the potential to cause extensive immunopathology and tissue damage, as seen in many diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic syndrome and many other infectious diseases with public health concerns, such as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), if failure to resolve in a timely manner. Recent studies have uncovered a superfamily of endogenous chemical molecules that tend to resolve inflammatory responses and re-establish homeostasis without causing excessive damage to healthy cells and tissues. Among these, the monocyte chemoattractant protein-induced protein (MCPIP) family consisting of four members (MCPIP-1, -2, -3, and -4) has emerged as a group of evolutionarily conserved molecules participating in the resolution of inflammation.

Periodontal disease (PD) is an inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues of the teeth that develops in response to formation of a dysbiotic biofilm on the subgingival tooth surface. Although exacerbated inflammation leads to alveolar bone destruction and may cause tooth loss, the molecular basis of PD initiation and progression remains elusive. Control over the inflammatory reaction and return to homeostasis can be efficiently restored by negative regulators of Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways such as monocyte chemoattractant protein-induced protein 1 (MCPIP-1), which is constitutively expressed in gingival keratinocytes and prevents hyperresponsiveness in the gingiva.

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 induced protein 1 (MCPIP1), one of the MCPIP family members, is characterized by the presence of both C-x8-C-x5-C-x3-H (CCCH)- type zinc finger and PilT-N-terminal domains. As a potent regulator of innate immunity, MCPIP1 exerts anti-inflammatory effects through its ribonuclease (RNase) and deubiquitinating enzyme activities to degrade cytokine mRNAs and inhibit nuclear factor- kappa B (NF-κB), respectively. MCPIP1 is expressed not only in immune cells but also in many other cell types, including cardiomyocytes, vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs).
