Inflammation, coagulation, and cellular injury in heat-induced shock
ConclusionsMultiple mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of heat-induced shock. In addition to dehydration, heat stress-induced cardiomyopathy due to the thermal damage of mitochondria, upregulated inflammation via damage-associated molecular patterns released from oncotic cells, unbalanced coagulation/fibrinolysis, and endothelial damage are the major factors that are related to circulatory shock.

Role of α-synuclein in microglia: autophagy and phagocytosis balance neuroinflammation in Parkinson’s disease
ConclusionIn this review, we discuss the interaction between microglia and α-syn in PD pathogenesis and the possible mechanism of microglial autophagy and phagocytosis in α-syn clearance and inhibition of neuroinflammation. This may provide a novel insight into treatment of PD. (Source: Inflammation Research)

ADAM10-a “multitasker” in sepsis: focus on its posttranslational target
ConclusionsIn this review, we focus on the functions of ADAM10 in sepsis-related complex endothelium-immune cell interactions and microcirculation dysfunction through the diversity of its substrates and its enzymatic activity. In addition, we highlight the posttranslational mechanisms of ADAM10 at specific subcellular sites, or in multimolecular complexes, which will provide the insight to intervene in the pathophysiological process of sepsis caused by ADAM10 dysregulation.

Loss of pleckstrin homology domain and leucine-rich repeat protein phosphatase 2 has protective effects on high glucose-injured retinal ganglion cells via the effect on the Akt –GSK–3β–Nrf2 pathway
ConclusionsThe loss of PHLPP2 was beneficial for HG-injured RGCs through the effect on the Akt –GSK–3β–Nrf2 pathway. This work suggests a possible role of PHLPP2 in diabetic retinopathy. (Source: Inflammation Research)

Periostin regulation and cartilage degradation early after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
ConclusionPro-inflammatory pathways and periostin were upregulated after ACLR. Periostin demonstrated strong network connections with markers of collagen breakdown, and future work is needed to determine whether periostin may offer a biomarker of early cartilage degradation after ACLR and/or play an active role in early post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) progression.

Tissue-resident immune cells in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis
AbstractBackgroundMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in which genetic and environmental factors contribute to disease progression. Both innate and adaptive immune cells, including T cells, B cells, activated macrophages and microglia, have been identified to be involved in the pathogenesis of MS, leading to the CNS inflammation, neurodegeneration and demyelination. In recent years, there has been considerable progress in understanding the contribution of tissue-resident immune cells in the pathogenesis of MS.MethodsWe performed a keyword-based search in ...

Annexin A1 (Ac2-26)-dependent Fpr2 receptor alleviates sepsis-induced acute kidney injury by inhibiting inflammation and apoptosis in vivo and in vitro
ConclusionsTaken together, this study provides evidence that the protective effect of ANXA1 (Ac2-26) on SI-AKI largely depends on the negative regulation of inflammation and apoptosis via the Fpr2 receptor. (Source: Inflammation Research)

Mitophagy-promoting miR-138-5p promoter demethylation inhibits pyroptosis in sepsis-associated acute lung injury
ConclusionsIn summary, our study indicated that mitophagy induced the demethylation of the miR-138-5p promoter, which may subsequently inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome, AM pyroptosis and inflammation in sepsis-induced lung injury. These findings may provide a promising therapeutic target for sepsis-associated ALI. (Source: Inflammation Research)

Molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis and relevance to inflammation
ConclusionIn this review, we summarize the regulatory mechanisms associated with ferroptosis, discuss the interaction between ferroptosis and inflammation, the role of mitochondria in inflammatory ferroptosis, and the role of targeting ferroptosis in inflammatory diseases. As more and more studies have confirmed the relationship between ferroptosis and inflammation in a wide range of organ damage and degeneration, drug induction and inhibition of ferroptosis has great potential in the treatment of immune and inflammatory diseases.
