Alveolar macrophages exist in the lung airspaces, and their differentiation and function are considerably regulated by the microenvironment. In this study, we examine the important role of resident neutrophil/IL-23/granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) axis in the development and preferential phenotype of alveolar macrophages under physiological conditions. Using CD18-deficient (CD18(-/-) ) mice, we show a correlation between increased granulopoiesis and enhanced alveolar macrophage development in an IL-23- and GM-CSF-dependent manner. The apoptotic neutrophils could inhibit the secretion of IL-23 from alveolar macrophages, which is important for the production of GM-CSF, and depletion of neutrophils disrupted the regulation of IL-23 and GM-CSF. This study reveals a mechanism for the regulation of the local alveolar macrophage population and function by neutrophil apoptosis in the circulatory system.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection causes reproductive failure and respiratory distress and is a serious threat to the swine industry, given its continuous and rapid emergence. The knowledge of viral-host interaction could facilitate anti-PRRSV drug development. HnRNP A1 is an abundantly expressed protein which associates with RNA metabolic processes and plays multifarious roles during the reproduction cycle of multiple viruses.

Diabetes exacerbates the occurrence and severity of periodontitis, the pathogenesis of diabetic periodontitis (DPD) is influenced by the delayed resolution of inflammation. Eldecalcitol (ED-71) has shown promise in preventing bone loss in DPD. We herein aimed to investigate the role of ED-71 in the inflammatory regression phase of DPD and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Objectives: Periodontitis is an inflammatory and destructive disease caused by dental plaque, which can result in the immune microenvironment disorders and loss of periodontal support tissue. In order to promote the restoration of local microenvironment stability, a functional biomaterial Gelatin methacryloyl @MP196/exos based on characteristics of disease occurrence is designed.
Methods: Transmission electron microscopy, nanosight particle tracking analysis and western blot analysis were applied to prove the presence of exos in GelMA@MP196/exos.

The purpose of the present study is to contribute to the establishment of a standard method for evaluating the adverse effects of nanomaterials by intratracheal administration. Low and high doses of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were administered to rats in a single administration or the same final dose as the single administration but divided over four administrations. Bronchoalveolar lavage examination on day 14 showed an inflammatory reaction and cytotoxicity in the lung, generally greater at the higher dose, and tending to be greater in the rats with four administrations at both the low and high doses.

Objectives: To investigate the inhibitory effect of FER-1 on methylglyoxal-induced ferroptosis in cultured mouse alveolar macrophages.
Methods: MH-S cells derived from mouse alveolar macrophages treated with 90 μg/mL methylglyoxal, 10 μmol/mL FER-1MG+FER-1, or both were examined for intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) and ferrous ion (Fe) levels and changes in mitochondrial membrane potential. Western blotting was performed to detect the protein expression levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and long-chain acyl-CoA synthase 4 (ACSL4).
