Macrophage-derived exosomal miRNA-141 triggers endothelial cell pyroptosis by targeting NLRP3 to accelerate sepsis progression
Int J Immunopathol Pharmacol. 2024 Jan-Dec;38:3946320241234736. doi: 10.1177/03946320241234736.ABSTRACTSepsis, critical condition marked by severe organ dysfunction from uncontrolled infection, involves the endothelium significantly. Macrophages, through paracrine actions, play a vital role in sepsis, but their mechanisms in sepsis pathogenesis remain elusive. Objective: We aimed to explore how macrophage-derived exosomes with low miR-141 expression promote pyroptosis in endothelial cells (ECs). Exosomes from THP-1 cell supernatant were isolated and characterized. The effects of miR-141 mimic/inhibitor on apoptosis, prolif...

Effect of overweight/obesity on relationship between fractional exhaled nitric oxide and airway hyperresponsiveness in Chinese elderly patients with asthma
Conclusion: The elderly Chinese Han asthmatics with overweight/obesity had lower FeNO levels than those with non-obese according to our findings. In addition, the FeNO level was inversely correlated between FeNO levels and PC20 in elderly asthmatics.PMID:38649141 | DOI:10.1177/03946320241246713 (Source: International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology)

Impact of IL-10 gene promoter polymorphisms on treatment response in HCV patients: A systematic review, a meta-analysis, and a meta-regression
Int J Immunopathol Pharmacol. 2024 Jan-Dec;38:3946320241240705. doi: 10.1177/03946320241240705.ABSTRACTThe impact of interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene promoter polymorphisms (SNPs) on treatment response in HCV patients was dissimilarly estimated. Hence, the aim of this meta-analysis was to robustly assess the effect of IL-10 SNPs on treatment response in HCV patients. An electronic literature search was carried out through PubMed, EMBASE, Web of science, and Scopus databases. Studies assessing the association between IL-10 polymorphisms and treatment response in HCV patients were included. Studies were excluded if genotype frequ...
