Article Abstract
Macrophage hyperactivation is a hallmark of inflammatory diseases, yet the role of alternative polyadenylation (APA) of mRNAs in regulating innate immunity remains unclear. In this study, we focused on 3'UTR-APA and demonstrated that Nudt21, a crucial RNA-binding component of the 3'UTR-APA machinery, is significantly upregulated in various inflammatory conditions. By utilizing myeloid-specific Nudt21-deficient mice, we revealed a protective effect of Nudt21 depletion against colitis and severe hyperinflammation, primarily through diminished production of proinflammatory cytokines. Notably, Nudt21 regulates the mRNA stability of key autophagy-related genes, Map1lc3b and Ulk2, by mediating selective 3'UTR polyadenylation in activated macrophages. As a result, Nudt21-deficient macrophages display increased autophagic activity, which leads to reduced cytokine secretion. Our findings highlight an unexplored role of Nudt21-mediated 3'UTR-APA in modulating macrophage autophagy and offer new insights into the modulation of inflammation and disease progression.

The occurrence of myocardial infarction (MI)-induced malignant ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) is closely associated with the hyperactivation of left stellate ganglion (LSG). Proinflammatory M1 macrophage is reported to aggravate sympathetic overactivation and cause VAs. Therefore, the depletion of M1 macrophage is anticipated to inhibit LSG overactivation and alleviate MI-induced VAs.

Periodontitis is a highly prevalent oral disease characterized by bacterial-induced hyperactivation of the host immune system, leading to a sustained inflammatory response and osteoclastic activity, which ultimately results in periodontal destruction. In this work, an immunomodulatory supramolecular hydrogel for the topical treatment of periodontitis was synthesized using a simple one-pot method. This phenylboronate ester-based 8AGPB hydrogel exhibited excellent stability, self-healing properties, injectability, and biocompatibility.

Sepsis is a severe immune response to pathogens that is associated with high mortality rate and a paucity of efficacious treatment options. It is characterized by the hyperactivation of macrophages and the occurrence of cytokine storms. Given the anti-inflammatory properties of M2 macrophages and their derived apoptotic bodies (AB), as well as the specific uptake of these by macrophages, a novel approach was employed to combine AB with artificial liposomes to create apoptotic body based biomimetic hybrid nanovesicles (L-AB).

Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe respiratory condition associated with elevated morbidity and mortality. Understanding their complex pathophysiological mechanisms is crucial for developing new preventive and therapeutic strategies. Recent studies highlight the significant role of inflammation involved in ALI/ARDS, particularly the hyperactivation of the NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain-associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in macrophages.
