- Ulcerative colitis (UC) is associated with intestinal macrophage infiltration due to disruption of the mucosal barrier and bacterial invasion. Therefore, it is crucial to identify therapeutic agents capable of attenuating the macrophage-induced inflammatory response to preserve mucosal homeostasis and immune tolerance. The modified Zhenwu decoction (CDD-2103) is a novel herbal formulation developed based on the principles of Traditional Chinese medicine. To date, there are no clinically approved herbal formulations for UC with a well-known mechanism of action on macrophages. - Source: PubMed

Mok Heung LamCheng Ka WingXu YiqiHuang ChunhuaLyu ChengXu JiaruoHu DieZhu LinLin ChengyuanTan Hor-YueBian Zhaoxiang - Investigating the role of podocytes in proteinuric disease is imperative to address the increasing global burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Studies strongly implicate increased levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1/CCL2) in proteinuric CKD. Since podocytes express the receptor for MCP-1 (i.e., CCR2), we hypothesized that podocyte-specific MCP-1 production in response to stimuli could activate its receptor in an autocrine manner, leading to further podocyte injury. To test this hypothesis, we generated podocyte-specific MCP-1 knockout mice (Podo-) and exposed them to proteinuric injury induced by either angiotensin II (Ang II; 1.5 mg/kg/d, osmotic minipump) or Adriamycin (Adr; 18 mg/kg, intravenous bolus). At baseline, there were no between-group differences in body weight, histology, albuminuria, and podocyte markers. After 28 days, there were no between-group differences in survival, change in body weight, albuminuria, kidney function, glomerular injury, and tubulointerstitial fibrosis. The lack of protection in the knockout mice suggests that podocyte-specific MCP-1 production is not a major contributor to either Ang II- or Adr-induced glomerular disease, implicating that another cell type is the source of pathogenic MCP-1 production in CKD. - Source: PubMed

Bondi Corry DHartman Hannah LRush Brittney MTan Roderick J - Combining radiotherapy with immune checkpoint blockade therapy offers a promising approach to treat glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), yet challenges such as limited effectiveness and immune-related adverse events (irAEs) persist. These issues are largely due to the failure in targeting immunomodulators directly to the tumor microenvironment. To address this, we developed a biomimetic nanoplatform that combines a genetically modified mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) membrane with a bioactive nanoparticle core for chemokine-directed radioimmunotherapy of GBM. The CCR2-overexpressing MSC membrane acts as a tactical tentacle to achieve radiation-induced tropism toward the abundant chemokine ligand CCL2 in irradiated gliomas. The nanoparticle core, comprising diselenide-bridged mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) and PD-L1 antibodies (αPD-L1), enables X-ray-responsive drug release and radiosensitization. In two murine models with orthotopic GBM tumors, this nanoplatform reinvigorated immunogenic cell death, and augmented the efficacy and specificity of GBM radioimmunotherapy, with reduced occurrence of irAEs. This study suggests a promising radiation-induced tropism strategy for targeted drug delivery, and presents a potent nanoplatform that enhances the efficacy and safety of radio-immunotherapy.

Wang ZhengChen FangmanCao YiZhang FanSun LinaYang ChaoXie XiaochunWu ZipingSun MadiMa FanshuShao DanLeong Kam WPei Renjun - Astrocytes play vital roles in blood-brain barrier (BBB) maintenance, yet how they support BBB integrity under normal or pathological conditions remains poorly defined. Recent evidence suggests that ion homeostasis is a cellular mechanism important for BBB integrity. In the current study, we investigated the function of an astrocyte-specific pH regulator, Slc4a4, in BBB maintenance and repair. We show that astrocytic Slc4a4 is required for normal astrocyte morphological complexity and BBB function. Multi-omics analyses identified increased astrocytic secretion of CCL2 coupled with dysregulated arginine-NO metabolism after Slc4a4 deletion. Using a model of ischemic stroke, we found that loss of Slc4a4 exacerbates BBB disruption, which was rescued by pharmacological or genetic inhibition of the CCL2-CCR2 pathway in vivo. Together, our study identifies the astrocytic Slc4a4-CCL2 and endothelial CCR2 axis as a mechanism controlling BBB integrity and repair, while providing insights for a therapeutic approach against BBB-related CNS disorders. - Source: PubMed

Among these interactions, inflammation is certainly a central biological response that occurs through cytokines and the crosstalk with their respective receptors. In particular, the interaction between CCL2 and its main receptor, CCR2, plays a pivotal role in both harmful and protective inflammatory states, including cancer-mediated inflammation. The activation of the CCL2/CCR2 axis was shown to dictate the migration of macrophages with immune-suppressive phenotype and to aggravate the progression of different cancer types. In addition, this interaction mediates metastasis formation, further limiting the potential therapeutic outcome of anti-cancer drugs. Attempts to inhibit pharmacologically the CCL2/CCR2 axis have yet to show its anti-cancer efficacy as a single agent, but it sheds light on its role as a powerful tool to selectively alleviate pro-tumorigenic and anti-repair inflammation. In this review, we will elucidate the role of CCL2/CCR2 axis in promoting cancer inflammation by activating the host pro-tumorigenic phenotype. Moreover, we will provide some insight into the potential therapeutic benefit of targeting the CCL2/CCR2 axis for cancer and inflammation using novel delivery systems, aiming to sensitize non-responders to currently approved immunotherapies and offer new combinatory approaches. - Source: PubMed
