Ageing is a major risk factor that contributes to increased mortality and morbidity rates during influenza A virus (IAV) infections. Macrophages are crucial players in the defense against viral infections and display impaired function during ageing. However, the impact of ageing on macrophage function in response to an IAV infection remains unclear and offers potential insight for underlying mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
  • - Mitochondria are essential for how macrophages (a type of immune cell) respond to bacterial infections, and the protein Spns2, which regulates S1P secretion, influences mitochondrial functions in these cells.
  • - Researchers isolated peritoneal macrophages from both normal and Spns2-deficient rats to explore how Spns2/S1P signaling affects mitochondrial functions and inflammation, using techniques like metabolomics, RNA sequencing, and various assays.
  • - The study identifies prostaglandin E (PGE) as a key factor in the communication between Spns2/S1P signaling and mitochondria; a lack of Spns2 leads to high PGE levels that disrupt mitochondrial respiration and cause inflammation-related

Article Synopsis
  • HIV-1 infects macrophages that release neurotoxic substances like cathepsin B (CATB), leading to cognitive issues, with cocaine enhancing this effect.
  • Treatment with BD1047, a sigma-1 receptor antagonist, prior to cocaine exposure lowers HIV-1 replication and CATB secretion, reducing neuronal cell death.
  • Proteomic analysis revealed that BD1047 dysregulated 80 proteins related to HIV-1, CATB, and mitochondrial functions, suggesting it helps protect cells by improving mitochondrial health and reducing neurotoxicity.

Dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccines are promising immunotherapies for cancer. Although DC-based therapies are known to activate tumor-specific T cells, the interplay between DCs and NK cells in this setting is not fully understood. In this study, we demonstrated a novel TLR7/ mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS)/IL-12 axis that drives potent NK cell responses against tumors.
