Pretreatment of murine peritoneal exudate macrophages with 1-5 U/ml rIFN-gamma or rIL-2, or higher concentrations of IFN-alpha or IFN-beta greatly stimulated ADCC to Rl lymphoma targets. The assay was direct counting of viable target cells after 9 and 24 h using an E/T ratio of 5:1. 2d of pretreatment was optimal for enhancing ADCC. rIL-4 was inactive and IL-4-depleted Con A-induced spleen lymphokine retained its ADCC-stimulating activity. Antibody to IFN-gamma blocked the ADCC-promoting effect of the lymphokine, suggesting a major role for this factor.

Background/purpose: Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family caspase recruitment domain containing protein 5 (NLRC5) plays a regulatory role in innate and adaptive immunity. However, its role in periodontitis remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of NLRC5 on periodontitis and the underlying mechanism.

Background/purpose: Studies have demonstrated a relation between hypercholesterolemia and development of apical periodontitis (AP), but the underlying mechanism is uncertain. 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC), produced by cytochrome P450 27A1 (CYP27A1)-catalyzed hydroxylation of cholesterol, is known to possess pro-inflammatory activity. Felodipine is an anti-hypertensive agent able to inhibit CYP27A1.

Background: The roles of the Pink1/Parkin pathway and mitophagy in lung injury during heat stroke remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of Pink1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy in acute lung injury (ALI) in rats with exertional heat stroke (EHS).
Methods: Sixty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into control (CON), control + Parkin overexpression (CON + Parkin), EHS, and EHS + Parkin overexpression (EHS + Parkin) groups.

This study is aimed at investigating the role of key molecular elements involved in pyroptosis in liver injury caused by exertional heat stroke (EHS). We established a model of EHS-induced liver injury in Sprague-Dawley rats, with a control group (receiving no treatment) for comparison and 12 rats in each group. Alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels in the blood were detected.

Background: Fibrotic skin disease represents a major global healthcare burden, characterized by fibroblast hyperproliferation and excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix components. The immune cells are postulated to exert a pivotal role in the development of fibrotic skin disease. Single-cell RNA sequencing has been used to explore the composition and functionality of immune cells present in fibrotic skin diseases.
