Article Abstract
Neutrophils are essential during contact hypersensitivity (CHS), a common skin allergic disease. NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) is a key regulator of redox balance and skin homeostasis playing a protective role in CHS. In this study, we investigated Nrf2 role in neutrophil recruitment during the sensitization phase of CHS. Comparing wild-type and Nrf2 knockout mice, we demonstrated that Nrf2 regulated dinitrochlorobenzene-induced xenoinflammation, notably neutrophil recruitment to sensitized skin. Nrf2 protective role was associated with high expression of antioxidant genes (, , …) and decreased chemokine production (CCL2, CCL4, CCL11). Interestingly, skin sensitization induced CD36 upregulation in skin-resident macrophages. In vitro results confirmed that the transcription of gene in macrophages was dependent on Nrf2 and led to an improved capacity to phagocyte-damaged neutrophils by efferocytosis. Nrf2 emerges as a critical target in the sensitization phase of CHS regulating neutrophil recruitment and accumulation in the skin through antioxidant-dependent and -independent mechanisms.

Ablation of satellite cell-specific clock gene, Bmal1, alters force production, muscle damage, and repair following contractile-induced injury.

Following injury, skeletal muscle undergoes repair via satellite cell (SC)-mediated myogenic progression. In SCs, the circadian molecular clock gene, Bmal1, is necessary for appropriate myogenic progression and repair with evidence that muscle molecular clocks can also affect force production. Utilizing a mouse model allowing for inducible depletion of Bmal1 within SCs, we determined contractile function, SC myogenic progression and muscle damage and repair following eccentric contractile-induced injury.

Background Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) manifests as a critical state marked by acute abdominal symptoms, often associated with intestinal barrier dysfunction, exacerbating SAP retroactively. Ganoderic acid A (GAA) demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties in various inflammatory disorders. Nonetheless, its potential therapeutic impact on SAP and the underlying mechanisms remain unexplored.

Rationale: Smoking has been shown to be associated with circulating deficiencies in 25(OH)D3 and reduced sinonasal tissue levels of the active form of vitamin D, 1,25(OH)2D3. Given vitamin D's ability to reduce inflammation, we sought to examine if intranasal (IN) delivery of calcitriol [clinical analog of 1,25(OH)2D3] could reduce inflammation and improve disease severity in a murine model of chronic cigarette smoke-induced sinonasal inflammation (CS-SI).
Methods: Mice were exposed to CS 5 h/day, 5 days/week for 9 months, and then began IN calcitriol three times per week for 4 weeks.
CD44 in myEloid cells is a major driver of liver inflammation and injury in alcohol-related liver disease.

Background And Aims: Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is one of the leading causes of severe liver disease with limited pharmacological treatments for alcohol-related steatohepatitis (ASH). CD44, a glycoprotein mainly expressed in immune cells, has been implicated in multiple inflammatory diseases but has never been studied in the ALD context. We therefore studied its contribution to ASH development in mice and its expression in ALD patients.

Background: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a central role in sepsis-induced cytokine storm involving immune hyperactivation and early neutrophil activation. Programmed death protein-1 (PD-1) is associated with sepsis-induced immunosuppression and lymphocyte apoptosis. However, the effects of simultaneous blockade of IL-6 and PD-1 in a murine sepsis model are not well understood.
