Dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages are specialized APCs that process and present self-Ags for induction of tolerance and foreign Ags to initiate T cell-mediated immunity. Related to differentiation states they have specific phenotypes and functions. However, the impact of these differentiations on Ag processing and presentation remains poorly defined. To gain insight into this, we analyzed and compared the HLA-I peptidomes of MUTZ3-derived human immature and mature DC lines and THP1-derived macrophages by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. We found that the HLA-I peptidomes were heterogeneous and individualized and were dominated by nonapeptides with similar HLA-I binding affinities and anchor residues. MUTZ3-derived DCs and THP1-derived macrophages were able to sample peptides from source proteins of almost all subcellular locations and were involved in various cellular functions in similar proportion, with preference to proteins involved in cell communication, signal transduction, protein metabolism, and transcription factor/regulator activity.

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is causatively associated with excessive alveolar inflammation involving deregulated pro-inflammatory macrophage polarization. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) showed critical anti-inflammatory roles by modulating macrophage function, and its adverse transition to pro-inflammation has an important role in the pathogenesis of ARDS. However, the relationship between HDL protein constituents and functional remodeling is unknown in ARDS.

Aims: Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) is related to Ovarian cancer (OC) pathogenesis, but the exact mechanism remains unclear. This study investigated the expression of Kelch Domain Containing 8 A (KLHDC8A) in OC and the mechanism associated with TAM.
Main Methods: Bioinformatics analysis of differential expression genes between normal and OC tissues were analyzed based on the Tumor Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases.

Background: Ferroptosis has a crucial role in human carcinogenesis. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) reader insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) suppresses ferroptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Here, we examined the effects and molecular determinants of IGF2BP3-mediated ferroptosis on malignant behaviors of HCC cells.

This study reports a comparative analysis of the polyphenolic composition and nutraceutical properties of different olive mill wastewater (OMWW) and corresponding extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) extracts. Specifically, four OMWWs and corresponding EVOOs from cultivars Frantoio (A) and Leccino (B) obtained from different crushing seasons (early-stage (A1 and B1) and later-stage (A2 and B2)) were analyzed. Employing HPLC-DAD and LC-MS methods, the primary polyphenol content was identified and quantified.

Inflammation is a vital mechanism that defends the organism against infections and restores homeostasis. However, when inflammation becomes uncontrolled, it leads to chronic inflammation. The NLRP3 inflammasome is crucial in chronic inflammatory responses and has become a focal point in research for new anti-inflammatory therapies.
