Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency Attenuates Bleomycin-Induced Lung Inflammation and Fibrosis in Mice [PDF]

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2010
The sphingomyelin/ceramide signaling pathway is an important component of many cellular processes implicated in the pathogenesis of lung disease. Acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) is a key mediator of this pathway, but its specific role in pulmonary fibrosis has not been previously investigated.

Unexplained splenomegaly as a diagnostic marker for a rare but severe disease with an innovative and highly effective new treatment option: A case report

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports
Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency (ASMD) is a lysosomal storage disorder that can lead to severe complications if not promptly treated. This case aims to highlight the critical importance of early awareness of ASMD and to introduce, for the first time in ...

Release of cholesterol-rich particles from the macrophage plasma membrane during movement of filopodia and lamellipodia. [PDF]

, 2019
Cultured mouse peritoneal macrophages release large numbers of ~30-nm cholesterol-rich particles. Here, we show that those particles represent fragments of the plasma membrane that are pulled away and left behind during the projection and retraction of ...

Early Radiation Therapy Response Assessment Using Multi‐Scale Photoacoustic Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tomographic and mesoscopic photoacoustics capture intratumoural features of radioresistance and response. ABSTRACT There is a critical unmet clinical need to identify biomarkers that predict and detect radiation therapy (RT) response in cancer. Using the unique capabilities of multi‐scale photoacoustic imaging (PAI) to depict tumor oxygenation and ...

Targeting the PGRN‐BMP Lysosomal Axis With NPs@PGRN Reverses Immunometabolic Dysfunction in Chronic Septic Arthritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic septic arthritis involves intracellular bacterial persistence and lipid‐immune crosstalk via the PGRN‐BMP lysosomal axis. A dual‐targeting nanoparticle system (NPs@PGRN) restores lysosomal bactericidal function, reduces bacterial burden, and reprograms macrophage immunity, offering a novel therapeutic strategy. ABSTRACT Chronic septic arthritis,

Cathelicidin preserves intestinal barrier function in polymicrobial sepsis. [PDF]

, 2020
ObjectivesThe intestinal epithelium compartmentalizes the sterile bloodstream and the commensal bacteria in the gut. Accumulating evidence suggests that this barrier is impaired in sepsis, aggravating systemic inflammation. Previous studies reported that

Endogenous Ceramide 24:1 Constrains Th17‐Driven Neutrophilic Inflammation by Antagonizing EP2 Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cer24:1 levels are reduced in neutrophilic asthma and inversely correlate with disease severity and airway neutrophilia. Restoring Cer24:1 suppresses pathogenic Th17 differentiation by engaging EP2 on CD4+ T cells, thereby dampening the JAK2–STAT3–RORγt axis and reducing IL‐17 production.
