T cell infiltration into white adipose tissue (WAT) drives obesity-induced adipose inflammation, but the mechanisms of obesity-induced T cell infiltration into WAT remain unclear. Our single-cell RNA sequencing reveals a significant impact of adipose stem cells (ASCs) on T cells. Transplanting ASCs from obese mice into WAT enhances T cell accumulation. C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) is upregulated in ASCs as early as 4 weeks of high-fat diet feeding, coinciding with the onset of T cell infiltration into WAT during obesity. ASCs and bone marrow transplantation experiments demonstrate that CCL5 from ASCs plays a crucial role in T cell accumulation during obesity. The production of CCL5 in ASCs is induced by tumor necrosis factor alpha via the nuclear factor κB pathway. Overall, our findings underscore the pivotal role of ASCs in regulating T cell accumulation in WAT during the early phases of obesity, emphasizing their importance in modulating adaptive immunity in obesity-induced adipose inflammation.

Inhibition of aortic CX3CR1+ macrophages mitigates thoracic aortic aneurysm progression in Marfan syndrome in mice.

The pathogenesis of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) in Marfan syndrome (MFS) is generally attributed to vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) pathologies. However, the role of immune cell-mediated inflammation remains elusive. Single-cell RNA sequencing identified a subset of CX3CR1+ macrophages mainly located in the intima in the aortic roots and ascending aortas of Fbn1C1041G/+ mice, further validated in MFS patients.

The current study determined that an age-associated CD8 T cell subset (Taa) with high Granzyme K ( ) and low Granzyme B ( ) gene expression infiltrate aged human prostates and positively correlate with International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). A velocity analysis indicated that CD8 T cell differentiation is altered in large BPH prostates compared to small age-matched prostates, favoring Taa accumulation.

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a life-threatening disease, characterized by upregulated extracellular matrix deposition and inflammatory signalling, with no effective treatment options and targets. The present study was designed to investigate the preventive and therapeutic effects of berberine (BBR) and its underlying mechanism in thioacetamide (TAA)-induced ALF. Male SD rats were administered with TAA 300 mg/kg, i.

Article Synopsis
- Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play a crucial role in the development of liver fibrosis, and the enzyme CYP1B1 is found to be elevated in fibrotic liver tissue in both humans and mice.
- Targeted inhibition or removal of CYP1B1 in mice reduced HSC activation and provided protection against liver fibrosis caused by various damaging substances, particularly in male mice.
- The study highlights trehalose, a disaccharide that increases in CYP1B1-deficient HSCs, as a potential antifibrotic agent, suggesting that inhibiting CYP1B1 or using trehalose derivatives could lead to new treatments for liver fibrosis.

Article Synopsis
- Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a process that includes various forms of cell death like apoptosis and necroptosis, which helps stimulate an immune response against cancer cells by utilizing damage signals and tumor-associated antigens.
- ICD is a promising strategy in cancer immunotherapy because it can both directly kill cancer cells and promote long-lasting immune reactions against tumors, and traditional therapies like radiation and chemotherapy can also induce ICD to enhance their effectiveness.
- The use of nanoparticles in cancer therapy is highlighted as a key development for inducing ICD safely and effectively, as they improve the delivery of treatment, target cancer sites better, and reduce side effects compared to conventional therapies.
