Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease with progressive cartilage erosion and joint destruction. Synovial fibroblasts (SFs) play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of RA. This study aims to explore the function and mechanism of CD5L during RA progression. We examined the levels of CD5L in synovial tissues and SFs. The collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rat models were used to investigate the effect of CD5L on RA progression. We also investigated the effects of exogenous CD5L on the behavior and activity of RA synovial fibroblasts (RASFs). Our results showed that CD5L expression was significantly upregulated in synovium of RA patients and CIA-rats. Histology and Micro-CT analysis showed that synovial inflammation and bone destruction were more severe in CD5L-treated CIA rats compared with control rats. Correspondingly, CD5L blockade alleviated bone damage and synovial inflammation in CIA-rats. The exogenous CD5L treatment promoted RASFs proliferation invasion and proinflammatory cytokine production. Knockdown of CD5L receptor by siRNA significantly reversed the effect of CD5L treatment on RASFs. Moreover, we observed that CD5L treatment potentiated PI3K/Akt signaling in the RASFs. The promoted effects of CD5L on IL-6 and IL-8 expression were significantly reversed by PI3K/Akt signaling inhibitor. In conclusion, CD5L promote RA disease progression via activating RASFs. CD5L blocking is a potential therapeutic approach for RA patients.

Amygdalins (AMY) from bitter almonds are distinguished by their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant properties, but their role in the treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) and their mechanisms need to be clarified. We sought to investigate whether AMY provides protection against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI in mice and explore the mechanisms of its protection. Results showed that AMY effectively alleviated LPS-induced ALI in a dose-dependent manner by reducing in vivo lung wet/dry ratio, lung/body weight ratio, and myeloperoxidase (MPO).

Article Synopsis
- Patients with chronic HBV infection and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) experience more severe liver disease than those with HBV alone, prompting research into the immune activity in these patients’ livers.
- A study using RNA sequencing compared liver biopsies from patients with only HBV, only MASH, both conditions, and healthy controls, focusing on those with minimal fibrosis to avoid confounding factors.
- The findings revealed that MASH significantly reduced critical immune activity markers, like interferon-stimulated genes and macrophage gene signatures, in HBV patients, suggesting a negative impact on antiviral responses and an increased risk of advanced fibrosis.

Cell surface scavenger receptors contribute to homoeostasis and the response to pathogens and products associated with damage by binding to common molecular features on a wide range of targets. Apoptosis inhibitor of macrophage (AIM/CD5L) is a soluble protein belonging to the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) superfamily that contributes to prevention of a wide range of diseases associated with infection, inflammation, and cancer. AIM forms complexes with IgM pentamers which helps maintain high-levels of circulating AIM in serum for subsequent activation on release from the complex.

Background/objectives: The development of blood tests for the early detection of individual predisposition to socially significant diseases remains a pressing issue.
Methods: In this pilot study, multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (MRM-MS) with a BAK-270 assay was applied for protein concentrations analysis in blood plasma from 21 healthy volunteers of the European cohort.
Results: The levels of 138 plasma proteins were reliably and precisely quantified in no less than 50% of samples.
