Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) promote cancer cell proliferation and metastasis, as well as anti-tumor immune suppression. Recent studies have shown that tumors enhance the recruitment and differentiation of TAMs, but the detailed mechanisms have not been clarified. We thus examined the influence of cancer cells on the differentiation of monocytes to TAM subsets, including CD163, CD204, and CD206 cells, in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) using immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and a cytokine array. Furthermore, we investigated the effect of OSCC cells (HSC-2, SQUU-A, and SQUU-B cells) on the differentiation of purified CD14 cells to TAM subsets. The localization patterns of CD163, CD204, and CD206 in OSCC sections were quite different. The expression of CD206 on CD14 cells was significantly increased after the co-culture with OSCC cell lines, while the expressions of CD163 and CD204 on CD14 cells showed no change. High concentrations of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) were detected in the conditioned medium of OSCC cell lines. PAI-1 and IL-8 stimulated CD14 cells to express CD206. Moreover, there were positive correlations among the numbers of CD206, PAI-1, and IL-8 cells in OSCC sections. These results suggest that PAI-1 and IL-8 produced by OSCC contribute to the differentiation of monocytes to CD206 TAMs.

Article Synopsis
- Several studies have established a connection between subway and ambient particle exposure and negative health effects, like inflammation and vascular issues, but the combined impact of these pollutants with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) remains largely unexplored.
- The research focused on the health effects of iron oxide particles (found in subway dust) compared to urban aerosols and vehicle exhaust, finding that iron oxides are more harmful, causing greater endothelial cell damage and altering key vascular proteins.
- When iron oxides are combined with LPS, there's a notable increase in inflammation and immune responses in the body, indicating that subway particles may pose greater health risks than other types of urban pollutants.
High salt diet accelerates skin aging in wistar rats: an 8-week investigation of cell cycle inhibitors, SASP markers, and oxidative stress.

Article Synopsis
- Recent research indicates that a high salt diet (HSD) is associated with increased inflammation and decreased extracellular matrix (ECM) in the skin, leading to accelerated skin aging in mice.
- In a study with Wistar rats, those on an HSD for 8 weeks showed thickened epidermis and changes in molecular markers linked to aging, including elevated levels of cell cycle inhibitors and oxidative stress.
- By the end of the study, significant increases in inflammatory molecules were observed in the HSD group, suggesting that high salt intake contributes to skin aging through oxidative stress and inflammatory responses.

Even though respiratory dysfunctions are the primary symptom associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, cerebrovascular events, and neurological symptoms are described in many patients. However, the connection between the neuroimmune profile and the lung's inflammatory condition during COVID-19 and its association with the neurological symptoms reported by COVID-19 patients still needs further exploration. The present study characterizes the SARS-CoV-2 infectivity profile in nervous and lung tissue samples of patients who died due to severe COVID-19, and the pro-inflammatory factors present in both nervous and lung tissue samples, via a proteomic profiling array.

Platelet-tumor cell interactions induce the release of platelet cytokines, chemokines, and other factors that promote tumor cell epithelial-mesenchymal transition and invasion, granulocyte recruitment to circulating tumor cells (CTCs), and adhesion of CTCs to the endothelium, assisting in their extravasation at metastatic sites. Previous studies have shown that platelet activation in the context of thrombus formation requires the Class IA PI 3-kinase PI3Kβ.

Article Synopsis
- Thrombosis is a major health issue globally, and Lagopsis supina is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine thought to treat such conditions, though its specific mechanisms and active compounds are not fully understood.
- The study aimed to explore how Lagopsis supina works against thrombosis using systematic network pharmacology, molecular docking, and a rat model to test its effects and mechanisms.
- The research identified 124 targets related to L. supina's antithrombotic effects, pinpointed 9 key active components and 6 central targets, and confirmed its ability to reduce inflammation and improve thrombosis-related processes in the body.
