Background: Monocytes as precursors of osteoclasts in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are well demonstrated, while monocyte subsets in osteoclast formation are still controversial. Tyro3 tyrosine kinase (Tyro3TK) is a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase family involved in immune homeostasis, the role of which in osteoclast differentiation was reported recently. This study aimed to compare the osteoclastic capacity of CD14CD16 and CD14CD16 monocytes in RA and determine the potential involvement of Tyro3TK in their osteoclastogenesis.
Methods: Osteoclasts were induced from CD14CD16 and CD14CD16 monocyte subsets isolated from healthy control (HC) and RA patients in vitro and evaluated by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. Then, the expression of Tyro3TK on CD14CD16 and CD14CD16 monocyte subsets in the peripheral blood of RA, osteoarthritis (OA) patients, and HC were evaluated by flow cytometry and qPCR, and their correlation with RA patient clinical and immunological features was analyzed. The role of Tyro3TK in CD14CD16 monocyte-mediated osteoclastogenesis was further investigated by osteoclast differentiation assay with Tyro3TK blockade.
Results: The results revealed that CD14CD16 monocytes were the primary source of osteoclasts. Compared with HC and OA patients, the expression of Tyro3TK on CD14CD16 monocytes in RA patients was significantly upregulated and positively correlated with the disease manifestations, such as IgM level, tender joint count, and the disease activity score. Moreover, anti-Tyro3TK antibody could inhibit Gas6-mediated osteoclast differentiation from CD14CD16 monocytes in a dose-dependent manner.
Conclusions: These findings indicate that elevated Tyro3TK on CD14CD16 monocytes serves as a critical signal for osteoclast differentiation in RA.

Ticam2 ablation facilitates monocyte exhaustion recovery after sepsis.

Sepsis is a leading cause of death worldwide, with most patient mortality stemming from lingering immunosuppression in sepsis survivors. This is due in part to immune dysfunction resulting from monocyte exhaustion, a phenotype of reduced antigen presentation, altered CD14/CD16 inflammatory subtypes, and disrupted cytokine production. Whereas previous research demonstrated improved sepsis survival in Ticam2 mice, the contribution of TICAM2 to long-term exhaustion memory remained unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Segregated-nucleus-containing atypical monocytes have been identified in mice and are believed to induce fibrosis in drug-injured lungs, with a human counterpart potentially existing in primary myelofibrosis.
- A 74-year-old male patient with primary myelofibrosis had anemia and elevated lactate dehydrogenase, and his bone marrow showed histological features consistent with the disease.
- Immunohistochemical analysis revealed the presence of some CD16MSR1CEACAM1 cells in the patient's bone marrow, suggesting a possible connection to murine atypical monocyte characteristics.

According to the findings of multiple observational studies, immune disorder was a risk factor for prostatitis. However, it remained unknown whether there was a direct causal relationship between immune cells and prostatitis or whether this relationship was mediated by plasma metabolites. Based on the pooled data of a genome-wide association study (GWAS), a genetic variant was used to predict the effects of 731 immunophenotypes on the risk of prostatitis and determine whether the effects were mediated by 1400 metabolites.

Article Synopsis
- - Sepsis is a serious condition causing multiple organ failure and issues with immune responses, and the role of monocytes in septic shock is not well understood.
- - The study characterized monocyte subpopulations in septic shock by analyzing their protein profiles, identifying 67 proteins that differ in expression compared to healthy individuals.
- - Findings highlight the involvement of these proteins in key processes like immune dysfunction and blood pressure regulation, suggesting they could be targets for future diagnostics and treatments for septic shock.
