This study focused on the chemotactic activity of macrophages and the role of the TLR9 signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of viral Acute Lung Injury (ALI). For this purpose, a total of 40 male SPF mice were used, aged 5-8 weeks. They were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group was further divided into S1 and S2, and the control group was further divided into D1 and D2, with 10 in each. The different groups were detected for the expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines and the expression of alveolar macrophages. Results showed that as for the weight, survival status, arterial blood gas analysis, lung index and wet-to-dry value of lung tissue, and lung histopathological analysis results, the S2 group showed more obvious changes versus the D2 group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). S2 had higher levels of the inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and the chemokine CCL3 in the BALF supernatant versus the D2 Group, and the difference is statistically significant (P<0.05). S2 had higher expression levels of chemokines CCR5, TLR9, and JMJD1A mRNA versus the D2 group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In conclusion,  the establishment of a mouse ALI model induced by poly l:C was successful; AM has a certain chemotactic activity on CCL3; polyI:C can promote the expression activity and chemotactic activity of macrophages CCR5 through signal pathways, such as TLR9.

Molecular dynamics of chemotactic signalling orchestrates dental pulp stem cell fibrosis during aging.

Front Cell Dev Biol

Department of Oral Biology, School and Hospital of Stomatology, Jilin University, Changchun, China.

Aging often triggers dental pulp fibrosis, resulting in clinical repercussions such as increased susceptibility to dental infections, compromised tooth vitality, and reduced responsiveness to dental interventions. Despite its prevalence, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying this condition remains unclear. Leveraging single-cell transcriptome analysis from both our own and publicly available datasets, we identified Ccrl2 macrophages as particularly vulnerable during the early stages of aging.

Angiogenic T cells (Tang) are crucial in promoting angiogenesis, with the loss of CD28 serving as a marker for highly differentiated and senescent T cells. This study aims to investigate the characteristics and potential roles of CD8CD28 Tang in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). A cohort of AAV patients and matched healthy controls (HCs) were analyzed.

Cetaceans have adapted to aquatic life by evolving various anatomic and physiologic traits, but biological defense mechanisms specific to aquatic mammals that protect against pathogenic microorganisms in the aquatic environment have not been elucidated. In this study, we investigated the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in bottlenose dolphins in response to various chemotactic factors and compared the migration response with that of terrestrial animals such as cows and humans to characterize biological defense mechanisms unique to cetaceans. Bottlenose dolphin neutrophils showed strong chemotactic activity toward zymosan-activated serum and recombinant human interleukin-8 but no chemotaxis toward N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine or leukotriene B at any concentration examined.

Senescent cells are involved in age-related disorders in different organs and are therapeutic targets for fibrotic and chronic pathologies. Immune-modulating agents, able to enhance senescent cell detection and elimination by endogenous immune cells, have emerged as pharmacological strategies. We report herein a nanoparticle for immune cell-mediated senolytic therapy designed to recruit immune cells in response to specific enzymatic matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) activity in the senescence-associated secretory phenotype.
