Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by structural deterioration and low bone mass, leading to fractures and significant health complications. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms by which B-lymphocytes and neutrophils contribute to the development of osteoporosis and potential therapeutics targeting these immune mediators to reduce the proinflammatory milieu. B-lymphocytes-typically appreciated for their canonical role in adaptive, humoral immunity-have emerged as critical regulators of bone remodeling. B-lymphocytes communicate with osteoclasts and osteoblasts through various cytokines, including IL-7, RANK, and OPG. In inflammatory conditions, B-lymphocytes promote osteoclast activation and differentiation. However, B-lymphocytes also possess immunomodulatory properties, with regulatory B-lymphocytes (Bregs) secreting TGF-β1 to restrain pathogenic osteoclastogenesis. Neutrophils, the body's most prevalent leukocyte, also contribute to the proinflammatory environment that leads to osteoporotic bone remodeling. In aged individuals, neutrophils display reduced chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and apoptosis. Understanding the delicate interplay between B-lymphocytes and neutrophils in the context of impaired bone metabolism is crucial for targeted therapies for osteoporosis.

Identification and verification of the optimal feature genes of ferroptosis in thyroid-associated orbitopathy.
Front Immunol
December 2024
School of Optometry, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China.
Background: Thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO) is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder of the orbital adipose tissue, primarily causing oxidative stress injury and tissue remodeling in the orbital connective tissue. Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death driven by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), iron metabolism disorder, and lipid peroxidation. This study aims to identify and validate the optimal feature genes (OFGs) of ferroptosis with diagnostic and therapeutic potential in TAO orbital adipose tissue through bioinformatics analysis and to assess their correlation with disease-related immune cell infiltration.

Expression of FcμR by bovine mononuclear blood leukocytes.
Dev Comp Immunol
December 2024
ISP, INRAE, Université de Tours, Nouzilly, France.
The receptor for IgM has been identified a few years ago, but its expression by bovine mononuclear cells has not yet been studied. We used rabbit antibodies against bovine FcμR to begin to fill this gap. Anti-FcμR antibodies bound to B lymphocytes and monocytes, although less than to neutrophils.

Article Synopsis
- This study examined inflammation and immune cell changes in the mammary glands of Holstein dairy cows transitioning between late lactation and the dry period, and from the dry period to early lactation.
- Healthy cows showed increased systemic inflammatory markers like TNF-α and haptoglobin after dry-off, along with changes in milk composition.
- Cell proliferation rates in mammary tissue were higher after dry-off, with specific immune cell populations varying between the late dry and early lactation stages.
Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals multiple immune cell subpopulations promote the formation of abnormal bone microenvironment in osteoporosis.

Article Synopsis
- The increasing incidence of osteoporosis (OP) with an aging population highlights the need to understand immune cell subpopulations that contribute to the disease, which are currently not well understood.
- Bioinformatics analysis was used to map the OP microenvironment, revealing specific immune cell subpopulations—including macrophages, neutrophils, effector memory T cells, and B cells—that play roles in abnormal bone conditions and potentially serve as therapeutic targets.
- Identified cell subpopulations showed activation of pathways related to cytokines and osteoclast differentiation, suggesting that immune inflammation responses may drive osteoporosis, providing insights for future research and treatment possibilities.
