Background: Inflammation is the natural defense mechanism of the body in response to injury, infection, or other stimuli. Excessive or persistent inflammatory responses can lead to the development of inflammatory diseases. Therefore, elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of inflammatory cells is crucial for understanding the pathogenesis of such diseases and devising novel therapeutic approaches. Moreover, miR-144/451 plays an important role in erythroid maturity and tumour development. Herein, we have reviewed the regulatory role of miR-144/451 in inflammation.

Methods: Papers on miR-144, miR-451, and inflammation were retrieved from PubMed and Web of Science to be analysed and summarised.

Results: miR-144/451 plays a significant role in modulating inflammatory responses. Pro- and anti-inflammatory gene transcription is regulated by miR-144/451 binding to the 3' untranslated regions. Studies have shown that miR-451 inhibits the activation of various inflammatory cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, and T lymphocytes, thereby reducing the release of inflammatory mediators. However, miR-144 expression varies in different inflammatory diseases. miR-144 expression is downregulated in macrophages after induction by lipopolysaccharide, cysteine, or Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which promotes the secretion of inflammatory mediators; nonetheless, miR-144-3p overexpression in macrophages can aggravate atherosclerosis. Meanwhile, miR-144 overexpression prevents disruption of the lung endothelial cell barrier, whereas it exacerbates endothelial cell injury in Crohn's disease.

Conclusion: miR-144/451 may serve as a potential target for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Background: We previously identified that high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is increased and undergoes post-translational modifications (PTMs) in response to alcohol consumption. Here, we hypothesized that specific PTMs, occurring mostly in hepatocytes and myeloid cells, could contribute to the pathogenesis of alcohol-associated liver disease (AALD).

Methods: We used the Lieber-DeCarli (LD) model of early alcohol-induced liver injury, combined with engineered viral vectors and genetic approaches to regulate the expression of HMGB1, its PTMs (reduced [H], oxidized [O], acetylated [Ac], both [O + Ac]), and its receptors (RAGE, TLR4) in a cell-specific manner (hepatocytes and/or myeloid cells).

Background: Ruxolitinib cream has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antipruritic activity and was well tolerated in a phase 3 study in patients aged 2-11 years with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD).

Objective: This study examined the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and quality of life (QoL) with ruxolitinib cream under maximum-use conditions and with longer-term use.

Methods: Eligible patients were aged 2-11 years with moderate to severe AD [Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score 3-4], and ≥ 35% affected body surface area (BSA).

Effects of immune cells in mediating the relationship between inflammatory bowel disease and pyoderma gangrenosum: a two-sample, two-step mendelian randomization study.

Arch Dermatol Res

January 2025

Department of Anesthesiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, 325000, Zhejiang, China.

Background: Although the precise cause of the co-occurrence of pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is still unknown, prior research has shown that the two conditions coexist. Moreover, it is currently unknown how immune cells function in influencing the relationship between IBD and PG.

Methods: In order to choose independent single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) as instrumental variables, we were provided with genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data of European populations from the IEU OpenGWAS project (for IBD) and a the FinnGen database (for PG) publically available.
