Tussilagone suppresses triple-negative breast cancer progression by inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB pathway and enhancing anti-tumor immunity
As a highly aggressive form of breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by significant metastatic potential, a lack of targeted therapies, and an unfavorable prognosis. Tussilagone (TUS), a bioactive sesquiterpene isolated from Tussilago farfara's medicinal herb, has shown anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. However, its potential role in TNBC treatment and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unexplored.
Safety assessment of voclosporin: a real-world disproportionality analysis of the FAERS database
Voclosporin was approved from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating adults with active lupus nephritis, in combination with a background immunosuppressive therapy regimen. Due to the limitations of clinical trials, real-world safety data on voclosporin in large samples are currently lacking. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate adverse events (AEs) associated with voclosporin.
NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition by MCC950 reduces embryo implantation during early pregnancy in mice
Successful pregnancy relies on the healthy completion of implantation, decidualization, and placentation. Additionally, the balance of the inflammatory response is crucial in processes such as trophoblast invasion, tissue, and vascular remodeling.
Polydatin enhances blood vessel relaxation and reduces NLRP3-mediated inflammation in hyperglycemia by lowering vascular cell adhesion molecule expression
Polydatin, a natural component of Polygonum cuspidatum, exhibits potent anti-metabolic properties. The treatment with Poly (10 µm/L) effectively reversed the high glucose (HG)-induced reduction in acetylcholine (ACh)-elicited vasodilation in the aortas of Sprague-Dawley rats.
Cancer immunotherapeutic targeting tropomyosin receptor kinase C (TrkC) through its conjugate and cyclophosphamide
Cancer cells often overexpressed specific receptors to support their proliferation and promote immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Tropomyosin receptor kinase C (TrkC) is known to be overexpressed in cancer, and implicated in promoting tumor progression and metastasis. This study investigates synergistic efficacy and immunomodulatory effect of a peptidomimetic TrkC-targeted ligand (IYIY) conjugated with dinitrophenol (DNP) hapten (IYIY-DNP), in combination with cyclophosphamide (CTX), an alkylating chemotherapeutic with immune-modulating properties.
Magnoflorine presents an antifatigue effect in acute exercise-treated fatigued mice via protecting against hepatic oxidative and inflammatory damage
This study aimed to investigate the impact of magnoflorine (Mag) on acute exercise-induced fatigue and its underlying mechanisms.
Immunotoxicity of silica nanoparticles and the potential role of vitamin C
The increasing use of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) has raised concerns about their hazards to human health. However, immunotoxic effect remains insufficiently explored.
Beta-sitosterol alleviates inflammatory culprits and disease severity in arthritic irradiated rat's model: role of brain-spleen axis
The complex interaction between the adaptive immune system and innate immunological components causes rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a systemic autoimmune disorder that involves synovitis and joint deformity. Brain- spleen axis is a reciprocal cross-communicative circuit serves a crucial role in maintaining immunomodulation and homeostasis. RA complicates extra-articular manifestations in spleen and brain. Exposure to ionizing radiation might exacerbate the severity of RA. Recently, beta- sitosterol (BS), which is a promising phytosterols, has shown efficacy against various inflammatory models.
Edaravone dexborneol attenuates neuroinflammation in acute cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury through the CXCL13/CXCR5/NF-κB pathway
Edaravone dexborneol is an agent used to treat patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS); however, the underlying mechanisms of this drug remain unclear.
Functional role of granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells in CAR-T therapy: insights from single-cell RNA sequencing in multiple myeloma
Immunotherapies, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, represent a pivotal approach in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). However, the complex immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) poses significant challenges to their efficacy. Among the immunosuppressive cells in the MM TME, granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (G-MDSCs) are predominant, yet their functions remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the role of G-MDSCs in MM patients undergoing CAR-T therapy.

All- retinoic acid ameliorates S100-induced experimental autoimmune hepatitis by regulating the Treg/Th17 balance
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic autoimmune liver disease whose pathogenesis is closely related to the imbalance between regulatory T (Treg) and T helper 17 (Th17) cells. Rebuilding the Treg/Th17 balance provides a potential therapeutic approach for AIH patients. All- retinoic acid (atRA) sustains Treg cell function while inhibiting pathogenic Th17 cell differentiation. This study explored the potential of atRA for treating experimental AIH (EAH).
