- Coronary artery disease (CAD) involves intricate immune-related pathways; however, the contribution of epigenetic mechanisms remains inadequately defined. The fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO), which functions as an N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) demethylase, has been implicated in the progression of atherosclerotic conditions. This study sought to elucidate how FTO downregulates proteinase 3 (PRTN3) through m⁶A demethylation and inhibits neutrophil activation via the C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 9/C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 3 (CXCL9/CXCR3) signaling pathway in the context of CAD. RNA sequencing was carried out on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from CAD patients and healthy individuals to detect gene expression differences. Functional enrichment analyses, including Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, were performed along with experimental validation in endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). The regulatory relationship between FTO and PRTN3 was examined via luciferase reporter assays, RNA immunoprecipitation, and methylated RNA immunoprecipitation quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Neutrophil activation was evaluated by measuring CXCL9/CXCR3 expression, tracking cell migration, and assessing reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in HL-60 cells. For in vivo validation, apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE⁻/⁻) mice were maintained on a high-fat diet and treated with the AAV9 vector carrying FTO via tail vein injection to evaluate effects on atherosclerotic development. Findings indicated that PRTN3 is significantly upregulated in CAD patients, which was corroborated in EPCs. FTO was shown to directly bind to PRTN3 and decrease its expression by reducing m⁶A methylation. Overexpression of FTO enhanced proliferation and migration of EPCs and reduced apoptosis, whereas FTO silencing produced opposing outcomes. Furthermore, PRTN3 was found to stimulate the CXCL9/CXCR3 axis, leading to increased neutrophil migration and ROS production. In vivo, FTO inhibits the activation of neutrophils by down-regulating the expression of PRTN3, reduces the inflammatory response, and protects the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis in mice. These results uncover a novel regulatory pathway involving FTO, m⁶A, PRTN3, and CXCL9/CXCR3 in CAD pathogenesis, highlighting FTO as a promising target for therapeutic intervention. - Source: PubMed

Mamuti GulizibaerNasier BuajieerguliAiniwa AliyeWang QianMutailipu MayilaSaimaiti MiernishaAbudukadier AihemaitiFeng YuPing - Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a severe complication of total joint arthroplasty associated with significant morbidity, implant failure and increased healthcare costs. Diagnosis remains challenging, particularly in low-grade and culture-negative infections, because conventional markers lack specificity. Proteomic analyses may identify more reliable synovial biomarkers and provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying PJI. - Source: PubMed

Benedetto Giorgia LuciaParrotta Elvira ImmacolataCovello RaffaeleCuda GiovanniGasparini GiorgioGalasso OlimpioLongo Umile GiuseppeMercurio Michele - Zinc (Zn)-based metals have been considered as promising materials for bone regeneration and repair. Neutrophils, as the initial responders in the acute inflammatory phase, play a critical role by generating specialized mediators that facilitate the natural resolution of inflammation. Nevertheless, the mechanisms governing neutrophil-driven inflammation following the implantation of Zn-based metals are not fully elucidated. This study investigated neutrophil-macrophage crosstalk around Zn-based implants using single-cell transcriptomic profiling. A high-resolution cellular atlas of the peri-implant bone marrow microenvironment was generated in a rat femoral model comparing Zn-based implants with the titanium (Ti) ones. The results revealed that Zn implants induced a distinct neutrophil (Neu) subset heterogeneity, including Cd177 Neu, Ifit1bl Neu, RatNP-3b Neu, and Prtn3 Neu, the latter demonstrating enhanced tissue repair ability through osteoclast differentiation pathways. Zn-based metallic implants reduced macrophage (Mac) reactivity and promoted Hp Mac dominance compared to Ti implants, which showed higher Apoe Mac proportions. Crosstalk analysis identified a significant interaction between the neutrophil subset Ifit1bl Neu and the macrophage subset Eno3 Mac under Zn implantation, mediated by the Lgals9-Ighm ligand-receptor axis. These findings suggested that degradation products of Zn-based implants modulated immune cell differentiation and interaction networks, thereby modulating biological response. - Source: PubMed
