Atrial Tissue Pro‐Fibrotic M2 Macrophage Marker CD163+, Gene Expression of Procollagen and B‐Type Natriuretic Peptide

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Atrial tissue fibrosis is linked to inflammatory cells, yet is incompletely understood. A growing body of literature associates peripheral blood levels of the antifibrotic hormone BNP (B‐type natriuretic peptide) with atrial fibrillation (AF).

Role of Human Macrophage Polarization in Inflammation during Infectious Diseases

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018
Experimental models have often been at the origin of immunological paradigms such as the M1/M2 dichotomy following macrophage polarization. However, this clear dichotomy in animal models is not as obvious in humans, and the separating line between M1 ...

Decrypting cancer's spatial code: from single cells to tissue niches

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Spatial transcriptomics maps gene activity across tissues, offering powerful insights into how cancer cells are organised, switch states and interact with their surroundings. This review outlines emerging computational, artificial intelligence (AI) and geospatial approaches to define cell states, uncover tumour niches and integrate spatial data with ...

Downregulation of HMGB1 carried by macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles delays atherosclerotic plaque formation through Caspase-11-dependent macrophage pyroptosis

Molecular Medicine
Background Macrophage-derived extracellular vesicle (macrophage-EV) is highly studied for its regulatory role in atherosclerosis (AS). Our current study tried to elucidate the possible role of macrophage-EV loaded with small interfering RNA against high ...

Microglia limit brain tumor development by restricting tumor cell proliferation and inducing T‐cell immunity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Microglia (BV2) and IL‐4‐treated BMDMs promote astrocytoma clustering and inhibit tumor growth, not shown in other macrophage cells. In vivo, microglial co‐implantation enhances CD8+ T cell infiltration, elevates Granzyme B, lowers circulating MDSCs, and extends survival only in immune‐competent mice, but not in immune‐deficient mice.

Macrophage Polarization in Physiological and Pathological Pregnancy

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
The immunology of pregnancy is complex and poorly defined. During the complex process of pregnancy, macrophages secrete many cytokines/chemokines and play pivotal roles in the maintenance of maternal-fetal tolerance.

A single gene mutation predicts response to immune checkpoint blockade in ovarian clear cell carcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss‐of‐function mutations in the scaffold subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), PPP2R1A, sensitize ovarian clear cell carcinoma to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) by enhancing the interferon gamma response and promoting antitumor immune cell infiltration.
