Chronic rejection remains the main factor that influence long-term survival of patients after heart transplantation. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) play critical role in macrophages-mediated transplant immune responses. We investigated the mechanism of IL-10 in macrophage related chronic rejection after mouse heart transplantation. Mouse heart transplant chronic rejection model was established to evaluate pathological changes in the allograft. Myocardial interstitial fibrosis, apoptosis, and inflammatory factor levels were detected in ad-IL-10-treated mice. The positive iNOS and Arg-1 expressions, macrophage subset changes, and the proportion of regulatory T-cells (Tregs) and TIGIT Tregs were quantified by flow. In in vitro experiments, ad-IL-10 was transfected into macrophages followed by detection of apoptosis, phagocytosis, and CD163, CD16/32, and CD206 expression. The expression and relationships between IL-10, miR-155, and SOCS5 were also detected and verified. A rescue experiment was performed to evaluate macrophage function through the combined treatment of ad-IL-10 and overexpression of miR-155. Significantly decreased IL-10 expression in chronic rejection during mouse heart transplantation was observed. Ad-IL-10-treated mice showed decreased pathological injury, perivascular fibrosis, apoptosis, inflammation, and iNOS and CD16/32 expression, and increased Treg/TIGIT Treg cell, Arg-1 and CD206 cell proportion. Ad-IL-10-treated macrophages in vitro showed reduced apoptosis, improved phagocytosis, and M2 polarization. Mechanically, IL-10 negatively regulated miR-155 to activate SOCS5. Overexpression of miR-155 reversed IL-10 mediated-positive regulation of macrophage function. IL-10 downregulated miR-155 and activated SOCS5, thereby promoting macrophage M2 polarization to relieve chronic rejection after heart transplantation.

Objectives: Due to the increasingly faster pace of life and responsibilities, stress has become an integral part of daily life. Every year, numerous social campaigns in the media raise the issue of increasing alcohol consumption. Endometriosis is a chronic, causally incurable, estrogen-dependent and inflammatory gynecological disorder, described as presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity.

Chronic pulmonary diseases pose a prominent health threat globally owing to their intricate pathogenesis and lack of effective reversal therapies. Nowadays, lung transplantation stands out as a feasible treatment option for patients with end-stage lung disease. Unfortunately, the use of this this option is limited by donor organ shortage and severe immunological rejection reactions.

Donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) are essential causes of graft rejection in haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). DSAs are unavoidable for some patients who have no alternative donor. Effective interventions to reduce DSAs are still needed, and the cost of the current therapies is relatively high.

Background: Inadequate treatment of acute rejection (AR) in pediatric kidney transplant recipients (KTR) can contribute to early allograft failure. Serum creatinine is an insensitive marker of allograft function, especially in the pediatric population, and may not detect ongoing rejection after treatment. We evaluated the utility of follow-up biopsies to detect persistent inflammation and future episodes of rejection.

METTL3, a key enzyme in N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, plays a crucial role in the progression of renal fibrosis, particularly in chronic active renal allograft rejection (CAR). This study explored the mechanisms by which METTL3 promotes renal allograft fibrosis, focusing on its role in the macrophage-to-myofibroblast transition (MMT). Using a comprehensive experimental approach, including TGF-β1-induced MMT cell models, METTL3 conditional knockout (METTL3 KO) mice, and renal biopsy samples from patients with CAR, the study investigates the involvement of METTL3/Smad3 axis in driving MMT and renal fibrosis during the episodes of CAR.
