Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be viewed as a disease of barrier failure, in which CX3CR1⁺/TREM2⁺ synovial tissue resident macrophages that form the lining barrier over cartilage and bone become fragmented and disorganized. However, how to therapeutically rebuild this barrier, and how macrophage states transition during repair, remain unclear. We engineered TR-Ab19, a mouse-selective agonistic antibody against TREM2, as a precision tool to initiate and interrogate barrier repair in vivo. TR-Ab19 engages TREM2 linked downstream signaling and redirects synovial macrophages from Clec4d⁺ inflammatory/proliferative programs toward TREM2⁺CX3CR1⁺Aqp1⁺ barrier-like states, thereby rebuilding the lining barrier. Across collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and serum-transfer arthritis (STA) models, TR-Ab19 reduces synovitis, preserves cartilage and bone microarchitecture, limits osteoclastogenesis, and attenuates systemic cytokines and B cell abnormalities. Single-cell RNA-seq with trajectory and cell cell communication analyses reveal a TREM2 dependent shift toward a barrier-dominant macrophage ecosystem. Together, these findings establish antibody-mediated reprogramming of resident synovial macrophages as a barrier-centered strategy for RA and provide a framework for instructing macrophage niches in chronic inflammation. ### Competing Interest Statement X-D.

Abstract Background This study aimed to elucidate B cell subset pathology in COPD, a poorly characterized area, with a focus on its similarities to and differences from classical autoimmune disorders. Methods The single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from COPD and autoimmune diseases were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) for comparative analyses of B cell subsets and functions via differentially expressed genes (DEGs), KEGG, protein-protein interaction (PPI), and cell–cell communication analyses. Serum IgG4 was measured by ELISA and correlated with clinical parameters. The peripheral blood B cells were sorted by flow cytometry for single-cell B cell receptor (BCR) sequencing. A v-Abl/Bcl2 pro-B cell line was stimulated with cigarette smoke extract (CSE) to assess abnormal development in vitro . Results In lung tissue, IgG4 + plasma cells were enriched and expressed BCR activation/inflammatory genes and TNF/NF-κB/MAPK pathways. Serum IgG4 concentrations correlated negatively with pre-and post-bronchodilator FEV 1 /FVC. B cell interacted with monocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts and endothelial cells via IL-1β/IL-6, integrin and chemokine signalling, contributing to chronic inflammation and remodelling. In peripheral blood, transitional T1 B cells were increased, accompanied by λ-chain enrichment and increased IGLV1-47 usage, as well as enrichment of autoimmune pathways. In the bone marrow, the numbers of pre-B I cells were increased while those of small pre-B III cells were reduced, with altered expression of BCR development genes. CSE stimulation of the pro-B cell line reduced λ5 expression in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusions The autoimmune abnormalities in COPD appear more restricted, although IgG4 antibody generation may contribute to immune-mediated lung damage.
B-1 cells are derived from a subpopulation of B lymphocytes which have a specific developmental process, unique phenotype and location, and distinct functions in comparison with conventional B-2 cells. The origin of B-1 cells is not completely clear, with two existing hypotheses concerning their lineage and differentiation pathways. B-1 cells are located principally in the peritoneal and pleural cavities, but are also distributed in secondary lymphoid tissues, at mucosal sites and in the blood and bone marrow. B-1 cells regulate immune responses and maintain homeostasis by secretion of natural antibodies (nAbs), and participate in the adaptive immune response through phagocytosis and presentation of antigens to T cells. B-1 cells are associated with many diseases including autoimmune, infectious and inflammatory diseases. This review focuses on the origin and biological functions of B-1 cells as well as their involvement in human disease, and discusses advances in the understanding of the heterogeneity of B-1 cells under specific pathophysiological features, as partly clarified by single-cell sequencing analysis.
Objective: In a previous study we have shown that, in the presence of interleukin (IL)-33, repeated, per-nasal challenge of murine airways with Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) organisms induces human asthma-like airways inflammation. It is not clear, however, whether this effect is unique or manifest in response to other common respiratory pathogens.Methods: To explore this, airways of BALB/c mice were repeatedly challenged per-nasally with formaldehyde-inactivated bacterial bodies in the presence or absence of murine recombinant IL-33. Serum concentrations of S.pneumoniae, Moraxella catarrhalis (M.catarrhalis) and Haemophilus influenzae (H.influenzae) lysates-specific IgE were measured in patients with asthma and control subjects.Results: We showed that in the presence of IL-33, repeated, per-nasal airways exposure to the bodies of these bacteria induced airways hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in the experimental mice. This was accompanied by cellular infiltration into bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), eosinophilic infiltration and mucous hypertrophy of the lung tissue, with elevated local expression of some type 2 cytokines and elevated, specific IgG and IgE in the serum. The precise characteristics of the inflammation evoked by exposure to each bacterial species were distinguishable.Conclusions: These results suggest that in the certain circumstances, inhaled or commensal bacterial body antigens of both Gram-positive (S. pneumoniae) and Gram-negative (M. catarrhalis and H. influenzae) respiratory tract bacteria may initiate type 2 inflammation typical of asthma in the airways. In addition, we demonstrated that human asthmatic patients manifest elevated serum concentrations of M.catarrhalis- and H.influenzae-specific IgE.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by persistent inflammation and oxidative stress, which ultimately leads to progressive restriction of airflow. Extensive research findings have cogently suggested that the dysregulation of essential transition metal ions, notably iron, copper, and zinc, stands as a critical nexus in the perpetuation of inflammatory processes and oxidative damage within the lungs of COPD patients. Unraveling the intricate interplay between metal homeostasis, oxidative stress, and inflammatory signaling is of paramount importance in unraveling the intricacies of COPD pathogenesis. This comprehensive review aims to examine the current literature on the sources, regulation, and mechanisms by which metal dyshomeostasis contributes to COPD progression. We specifically focus on iron, copper, and zinc, given their well-characterized roles in orchestrating cytokine production, immune cell function, antioxidant depletion, and matrix remodeling. Despite the limited number of clinical trials investigating metal modulation in COPD, the advent of emerging methodologies tailored to monitor metal fluxes and gauge responses to chelation and supplementation hold great promise in unlocking the potential of metal-based interventions. We conclude that targeted restoration of metal homeostasis represents a promising frontier for ameliorating pathological processes driving COPD progression.

Background: Asthma is a common chronic respiratory disease characterized by airways inflammation, hyper -responsiveness and remodeling. IL-37, an anti-inflammatory cytokine, consists of five splice isoforms, that is, a-e. Although it has been previously shown that recombinant human IL-37b is able to inhibit airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness in animal models of asthma, the effects and difference of other IL-37 isoforms, such as IL-37a on features of asthma are unknown.Methods: Animal models of chronic asthma were established using IL-37a and IL-37b transgenic mice with C57BL/6J background and wild-type (WT) mice sensitized and nasally challenged with ovalbumin (OVA). Airway hyperresponsiveness was measured using FlexiVent apparatus, while histological and immunohisto-logical stainings were employed to measure airways inflammation and remodeling indexes, including goblet cell metaplasia, mucus production, deposition of collagen, hypertrophy of airway smooth muscles and pulmonary angiogenesis.Results: Compared to WT mice, both IL-37a and IL-37b transgenic mice had significant reduced airway hyper -responsiveness and the declined total numbers of inflammatory cells, predominant eosinophils into airways and lung tissues. Furthermore, all features of airways remodeling, including degrees of mucus expression, collagen deposition, hypertrophy of smooth muscles, thickness of airways and neovascularization markedly decreased in IL-37 transgenic mice compared with OVA-treated WT mice.Conclusion: Our data suggest that both IL-37a and IL-37b isoforms are able to not only ameliorate airways inflammation and airways hyperresponsiveness, but also greatly reduce airways structural changes of animal models of chronic asthma.
The disruption and reconstruction of the TREM2(+) tissue resident macrophage (TRM) barrier on the surface of synovial lining play a key role in the activation and "remission" of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which engender the prediction of this immunologic barrier as a potential driver for the achievement of "cure" in RA. However, strategies to promote the reconstruction of this barrier have not been reported, and the effect of patching this barrier remains unidentified. On the other hand, appropriate piezoelectric stimulation can reprogram macrophages, which has never been exerted on this barrier TRM yet. Herein, we design piezoelectric tetragonal BaTiO3 (BTO) ultrasound-driven nanorobots (USNRs) by the solvothermal synthesis method, which demonstrates satisfactory electromechanical conversion effects, paving the way to generate controllable electrical stimulation under ultrasound to reprogram the barrier TRM by minimally invasive injection into joint cavity. It is demonstrated that the immunologic barrier could be patched by this USNR effectively, thereby eliminating the hyperplasia of vessels and nerves (HVN) and synovitis. Additionally, TREM2 deficiency serum-transfected arthritis (STA) mice models are applied and proved the indispensable role of TREM2 in RA curing mediated by USNR. In all, our work is an interesting and important exploration to expand the classical tetragonal BTO nanoparticles in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, providing a new idea and direction for the biomedical application of piezoelectric ceramics.

Respiratory tract infection early in life plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of asthma. In the present study we examine, using a murine surrogate, the effects of early life respiratory infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) on adult asthma induced by sensitisation and exposure to house dust mite (HDM) allergen. Mice (one week old) were infected with SP, then 3 weeks later sensitised to HDM emulsified with Al (OH)3 intraperitoneally and challenged intranasally with same allergen for up to a further 5 weeks to establish the asthma surrogate. Outcome measures were quantified using the FlexiVent apparatus, histology and immunohistology, ELISA and flow cytometry. The murine surrogates of asthma infected with SP early in life exhibited significantly more severe disease compared with the controls of mice without SP infection, as shown by airways responsiveness, inflammatory cellular infiltration of the airways, expression of markers of airways remodelling, serum concentrations of HDM-specific IgE and the concentrations of Th2-type cytokines and the numbers of activated Th2 and ILC2 cells in the lung tissues. These data are compatible with the hypothesis that early-life infection of the airways with SP exacerbates, at least in some individuals, subsequent HDM-induced allergic airways inflammation and associated asthma in adulthood in this murine surrogate.

While environmental aeroallergens and epithelial alarmins such as IL-33 are firmly implicated in asthma, the possible role of Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) antigens is less clear. To explore this, wild-type BALB/c mice were repeatedly challenged per-nasally with IL-33 and inactivated S. pneumoniae, either agent alone or diluent control. Some animals were rested then later re-challenged with inactivated S. pneumoniae alone. Serum concentrations of S. pneumoniae lysates-specific IgE were measured in patients with asthma and control subjects. Interestingly, in the presence of IL-33, repeated exposure to inactivated S. pneumoniae induced asthma-like pathological changes accompanied by a systemic adaptive immune response. Subsequent re-exposure of the sensitized animals to inactivated S. pneumoniae alone was able to induce such changes. The concentration of S. pneumoniae lysates-specific IgE was significantly elevated in the asthma patients. These data suggest that antigens derived from infectious microorganisms may participate in generating the mucosal inflammation which characterizes asthma.
Allergic disease is one of the most common chronic diseases, which can affect both children and adults,be often caused by allergen-induced unfavorable immune responses, and initiate various symptoms in different organs, including up-/low-airways and skin, such as asthma, atopic dermatitis, and rhinosinusitis. With increasing prevalence of allergic disease worldwide and their impact on the quality of life, new biological therapeutic approaches for these disorders become hot areas of intensive research. Multiple factors are involved and play important role in the pathogenesis of allergic disease, which can promote or trigger T helper 2(Th2)-type immune responses, leading to production of the type 2 cytokines and immunoglobulin E(Ig E),the two critical events in the allergic diseases. Using monoclonal antibodies to target these molecules, therefore, might provide possible benefits for the patients suffered from these diseases. Apart of those having approved biologics for allergic diseases, some potential targets such as epithelial-derived alarmins thymic stromal lymphopoietin(TSLP) and interleukin 33(IL-33) have been also described and proposed to develop monoclonal antibodies against either these cytokines, their receptors, or both. These new and potential targets have substantially enriched the therapeutic opportunities in the field of allergic diseases. The present review aims to briefly outline the role of monoclonal antibodies targeting the cytokines and immunoglobulin involved in the development of allergic diseases,and to discuss the clinical effects of these antibodies.
Abstract: Urotensin II (UII) is involved in the formation of atherosclerosis, but its role in the stability of atherosclerotic plaques is unknown. The purpose of this study was to observe the dynamic changes in plasma UII and analyze its relationship to the stability of atherosclerotic plaques. One hundred thirty-five consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) were enrolled. The plasma UII levels were measured immediately after admission and during three-month follow-up. A vulnerable plaque model was established using local transfection of a recombinant P53 adenovirus into plaques in rabbits fed with a high-cholesterol diet and subjected to balloon arterial injury. The levels of plasma UII were measured weekly. The changes in plasma UII during the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and before and after plaque transfection were observed. The morphology of the plaques and the expression, distribution, and quantitative expression of UII in the plaques also were observed. Our results showed that the levels of plasma UII in patients with ACS at admission were lower than levels observed at the three-month follow-up. UII dynamic changes and its correlation with plaque stabilities were further verified in rabbits with atherosclerotic vulnerable plaques. The UII levels in rabbits were significantly decreased immediately after the P53 gene transfection, which led to plaque instability and rupture. These results suggested that UII expression was down-regulated in ACS, which may be related to its ability to modulate mechanisms involved in plaque stability and instability.
Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the airways and numerous cytokines contribute to this pathogenesis. It is shown that challenge of airways with IL-33 induces asthma-like pathological changes in mice, but the possible downstream cytokines in this process remain to be characterised. To explore this, we compared changes in the airways of wildtype (WT) and IL-9 deficient mice challenged with IL-33. In line with previous report, per-nasal challenge of WT mice with IL-33 significantly increased the responsiveness of the airways along with infiltration of inflammatory cells, goblet cell hyperplasia, collagen deposition and smooth muscle hypertrophy, and the expression of cytokines compared with control group. Surprisingly, all of these pathological changes were significantly attenuated in IL-9 deficient mice following identical IL-33 challenge. These data suggest that IL-9 is one downstream cytokine relevant to the effects of IL-33 in asthmatic airways and consequently a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of asthma.
类风湿性关节炎(RA)的典型病理改变是滑膜炎和骨破坏,最终导致关节畸形而致残.Wnt信号通路在滑膜炎和骨破坏中发挥广泛的作用,是RA病情进展的重要因素.Wnt信号通路参与RA软骨细胞、成骨细胞和破骨细胞等的功能障碍有密切关系,并且促进RA相关病理因子的产生.本文就Wnt信号通路与RA炎症和骨侵蚀的关系及靶向该通路治疗的相关研究进行综述.
Wnt5a signalling plays pathological roles in synovial inflammation and bone destruction. In the present study, we designed four human Wnt5a-based DNA recombinants and detected their effects on immunogenicity and anti-rheumatism in a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model. Histomorphometry and micro-CT scanning showed that the phWnt5a-NL was superior to other recombinants because it resulted in decreased severity of arthritis, histopathological scores of synovial inflammation and bone erosion in CIA mice. In addition, ELISA and TRAP staining showed that the phWnt5a-NL-immunized CIA mice had reductions in the serum concentrations of the rheumatoid-associated cytokines IL-1β and RANKL and in osteoclastogenesis. Furthermore, flow cytometry showed that the phWnt5a-NL treatment increased the percentage of Treg cells. Finally, western blotting analysis showed that the phWnt5a-NL-immunization interrupted β-catenin and JNK expression in osteoclast precursors derived from the CIA mice. The results suggest that depleting the carboxy-terminus in hWnt5a-based DNA recombinants may be beneficial for the treatment of chronic inflammatory disorders involving bone resorption.
Objective: Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play an important role in dysregulation of histone acetylation/deacetylation, which is the main driving force of the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. Here we investigated the changes in histone acetylation/deacetylation, and the contribution of specific class I and class II HDACs in the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. Methods: Male C57BL/6J mice received a single dose of tracheal administration of bleomycin to establish the pulmonary fibrosis model. The changes in acetylation rate of histone 3 (H3) and histone 4 (H4), and the activity of HDAC2 and HDAC4 in the lung tissue during the progression from alveolitis to pulmonary fibrosis were measured. Results: The acetylation rate of H3/H4 significantly decreased during alveolitis and the early and middle stages of fibrosis, but restored in the late stage of fibrosis. Correlation analysis showed that H4 deacetylation affected both alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis. H3 deacetylation only affected alveolitis. HDAC2 activity significantly increased in the middle and late stages of pulmonary fibrosis. There was no significant difference in HDAC4 activity between bleomycin and saline groups. However, HDAC4 activity changed significantly with the progression of the disease in bleomycin group. The changes in HDAC2 and HDAC4 activity were different. HDAC2 had long-lasting effects, while HDAC4 had transient effects. Correlation analysis showed that HDAC2 and HDAC4 activity was positively correlated with alveolitis score and fibrosis score. Conclusions: The changes in histone acetylation may directly regulate the gene expression of inflammatory cytokines/fibronectin and thus affect the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. The injury-induced histone deacetylation switched into acetylation at the late stage of pulmonary fibrosis, which may be involved in the repair process. HDAC2 is mainly involved in the chronic progression of pulmonary fibrosis, and HDAC4 is mainly involved in early stress response to pulmonary fibrosis.
