Published: January 2025

The gut microbiota is a powerful influencer of systemic immunity, with its impact on distal organs like the lungs garnering increasing attention. In this issue of Cell, Burrows et al. report that a gut protozoan plays a key role in shaping the immunological steady state of the lung.

SARS-CoV-2 is the viral pathogen responsible for COVID-19. Although morbidity and mortality frequently occur as a result of lung disease, the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is recognized as a primary location for SARS-CoV-2. Connections and interactions between the microbiome of the gut and respiratory system have been linked with viral infections via what has been referred to as the 'gut-lung axis' with potential aerodigestive communication in health and disease.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a poorly reversible respiratory disorder distinguished by dyspnea, cough, expectoration and exacerbations due to abnormality of airways or emphysema. In this review, we consider the therapeutic potential of targeting Mammalian target of Rapamycin (mTOR) for treating COPD. The mTOR is a highly conserved serine-threonine protein kinase that integrates signals from growth factors and nutrients to control protein synthesis, lipid biogenesis and metabolism.

Inflammation can positively and negatively affect tumorigenesis based on the duration, scope, and sequence of related events through the regulation of signaling pathways. A transcriptomic analysis of five pulmonary arterial hypertension, twelve Crohn's disease, and twelve ulcerative colitis high throughput sequencing datasets using R language specialized libraries and gene enrichment analyses identified a regulatory network in each inflammatory disease. IRF9 and LINC01089 in pulmonary arterial hypertension are related to the regulation of signaling pathways like MAPK, NOTCH, human papillomavirus, and hepatitis c infection.

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a fatal disease with increasing incidence, poor prognosis, and unclear pathogenesis. Our previous research demonstrated the beneficial effects of the natural cyclopeptide Heterophyllin B (HB) in PF. However, the precise mechanism by which HB exerts its effects in PF remains unclear.
