Purpose: To investigate the effect of Osthole (OST) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophage polarization and inflammatory reaction.
Methods: The effect of different concentrations of OST on proliferative activity of RAW264.7 macrophages was examined by CCK-8 method; the effect of OST at different concentrations (6.25, 12.5 and 25 μmol/L) on macrophage polarization and inflammation was investigated by using intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection kit (DCFH-DA), immunofluorescence staining, q-PCR and flow cytometry. The effects of OST on macrophage polarization and inflammatory responses were investigated by immunoblotting of proteins. Graphpad prism 8.0 software package was used for statistical analysis of the data.
Results: CCK-8 results showed that OST was not significantly cytotoxic to RAW264.7 at less than 25 μmol/L, immunofluorescence and q-PCR results showed that OST at 6.25, 12.5 and 25 μmol/L inhibited the expression of inflammatory factors in M1 macrophages, and iNOS, TNF-α, CCR7 were reduced in a concentration-dependent manner, and effectively upregulated the expression of M2 inflammatory factors IL-10, Arg-1 and CD206. Flow cytometry showed that OST effectively inhibited the expression of LPS-induced M1 marker CD86 in macrophages.
Conclusions: OST can regulate lipopolysaccharide-induced M1 macrophages polarization and reduce inflammatory reaction.

The sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) still represents one of the leading causes of death in critically ill patients, underscoring the need for novel therapies. Excessive activation of immune cells and damage of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the main factors that exacerbate lung injury. Here, the multifaceted immunomodulatory nanocomplexes targeting the proinflammatory neutrophilic activation and ROS damage are established.

This study aimed to investigate whether activation of PPARγ regulates M1/M2 macrophage polarization to attenuate dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS)-induced inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) via the STAT-1/STAT-6 pathway in vivo and in vitro. We first examined the effect of PPARγ on macrophage polarization in LPS/IFN-γ-treated M1 RAW264.7 cells and IL-4/IL-13-treated M2 RAW264.

Nucleoredoxin (NXN) is a prominent oxidoreductase enzyme, classified under the thioredoxin family, and plays a pivotal role in regulating cellular redox homeostasis. Although the functional characterization of NXN has been extensively studied in mammals, its role in fish remains relatively unexplored. In this study, the NXN gene from Planiliza haematocheilus (PhNXN) was molecularly and functionally characterized using in silico tools, expression analyses, and in vitro assays.

Bacterial implant-associated infections predominantly contribute to the failure of prosthesis implantation. The local biofilm microenvironment (BME), characterized by its hyperacidic condition and high hydrogen peroxide (HO) level, inhibits the host's immune response, thereby facilitating recurrent infections. Here, a Janus PEGylated CuS nanoparticle (CuPen) armed engineered Lactobacillus casei (L.
