AI Article Synopsis

  • The myeloid cellular compartment consists of monocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages, and granulocytes, all of which play crucial roles in the innate immune system by responding quickly to environmental changes.
  • The NR4A family of orphan nuclear receptors (NR4A1, NR4A2, and NR4A3) are immediate early genes that are rapidly expressed in myeloid cells, influencing various functions within this cell group.
  • This review focuses on the diverse functions of NR4A receptors in myeloid cells, such as differentiation, migration, activation, metabolism, and their significance in the development of myeloid leukemia.

Article Abstract

The myeloid cellular compartment comprises monocytes, dendritic cells (DCs), macrophages and granulocytes. As diverse as this group of cells may be, they are all an important part of the innate immune system and are therefore linked by the necessity to be acutely sensitive to their environment and to rapidly and appropriately respond to any changes that may occur. The nuclear orphan receptors NR4A1, NR4A2 and NR4A3 are encoded by immediate early genes as their expression is rapidly induced in response to various signals. It is perhaps because of this characteristic that this family of transcription factors has many known roles in myeloid cells. In this review, we will regroup and discuss the diverse roles NR4As have in different myeloid cell subsets, including in differentiation, migration, activation, and metabolism. We will also highlight the importance these molecules have in the development of myeloid leukemia.

Objective This study investigated the regulatory effect of high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) in the peripheral blood of patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) on myeloid dendritic cells (mDC) and Th17/regulatory T cells (Treg) balance. Methods The study enrolled 30 newly diagnosed ITP patients and 30 healthy controls.Flow cytometry was used to measure the proportion of mDC, Th17, and Treg cells in the peripheral blood of ITP patients and healthy controls.

Phagocytosis by macrophages decreases the radiance of bioluminescent Staphylococcus aureus.

BMC Microbiol

January 2025

Department of Biomaterials and Biomedical Technology, University Medical Center Groningen, Antonius Deusinglaan 1, Groningen, The Netherlands.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how the bioluminescence of Staphylococcus aureus changes when it is engulfed by macrophages, showing a reduction in light production compared to bacteria in culture.
  • The bacterial count remains stable during this process, but bioluminescence increases again when bacteria are released after macrophage cell death or when fresh macrophages are added.
  • These findings highlight the need to consider intracellular residency effects on bioluminescence when using imaging techniques to study infections in live animals.

Lung cancer, particularly adenocarcinoma, ranks high in morbidity and mortality rates worldwide, with a relatively low five-year survival rate. To achieve precise prognostic assessment and clinical intervention for patients, thereby enhancing their survival prospects, there is an urgent need for more accurate stratification schemes. Currently, the TNM staging system is predominantly used in clinical practice for prognostic evaluation, but its accuracy is constrained by the reliance on physician experience.

Electronic address:

This study aims to elucidate the target and mechanism of baicalin, a clinically utilized drug, in the treatment of neuroinflammatory diseases. Neuroinflammation, characterized by the activation of glial cells and the release of various pro-inflammatory cytokines, plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including spinal cord injury (SCI). The remission of such diseases is significantly dependent on the improvement of inflammatory microenvironment.

Electronic address:

Immune checkpoint inhibitors are not effective for metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD)-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, and identifying the key gut microbiota that contributes to immune resistance in these patients is crucial. Analysis using 16S rRNA sequencing reveals a decrease in Akkermansia muciniphila (Akk) during MAFLD-promoted HCC development. Administration of Akk ameliorates liver steatosis and effectively attenuates the tumor growth in orthotopic MAFLD-HCC mouse models.
