Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a deadly disorder with poor therapeutic opportunities, driven by dysregulated immunity. Here we position monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages (Mo-AMs) as central mediators of ALI/ARDS pathogenesis, contrasting with homeostatic tissue-resident alveolar macrophages (TR-AMs). This review first traces the origin pathway of Mo-AMs, which differentiate from haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the bone marrow and are recruited to the inflamed lung via a CCR2/CCL2-dependent pathway, ultimately differentiating into pathogenic effector cells within the alveolar microenvironment. Subsequently, we elucidate their primary pathogenic mechanisms: Mo-AMs mediate critical pathological injury by generating cytokine storms, depleting TR-AMs, disrupting the alveolar-capillary barrier and promoting fibrotic remodelling. Given their well-defined pathogenic role, Mo-AMs have emerged as a promising therapeutic target. Therefore, we conclude by reviewing recent advances in strategies targeting Mo-AMs, primarily encompassing the inhibition of their recruitment, induction of their apoptosis and reprogramming of their proinflammatory functions. These approaches collectively provide valuable insights for developing novel therapies for ALI/ARDS.
Objective:Severe hypothermia can precipitate acute lung injury(ALI)and may progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Alveolar macrophage(AM)polarization plays a pivotal role in both the pathogenesis and resolution of ALI/ARDS.This study aimed to investigate alterations in AM polarization and to identify potential regulatory targets of macrophage polarization in severe hypothermia-induced ALI(SH-ALI).Methods:An SH-ALI rat model was established by immersion in 15 ℃ seawater for 5 h.Survival rate,inflammatory cytokine levels,lung histopathology,lung wet-to-dry weight ratio,and AM polarization status were assessed.RNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed genes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid-stimulated AMs from SH-ALI rats compared with normal AMs.Lipocalin-2(LCN2)was identified and validated as a differentially expressed gene in SH-ALI.The effects of LCN2 on macrophage polarization,survival rate,lung injury severity,and inflammatory factor levels were further evaluated.Results:SH-ALI was characterized by increased mortality,elevated inflammatory cytokine levels,marked inflammatory cell infiltration,aggravated pulmonary edema,and significant pulmonary parenchyma injury.An imbalance between M1 and M2 macrophage polarization was observed,with severe hypothermia promoting M1 polarization.LCN2 expression was significantly upregulated in SH-ALI rats.Downregulation of LCN2 suppressed M1 polarization and alleviated lung injury in SH-ALI in rats.Conclusion:Immersion in 15 ℃ seawater for 5 h successfully establishes an SH-ALI rat model.SH-ALI is associated with excessive M1 polarization,and LCN2 knockdown mitigates lung injury by inhibiting M1 polarization in SH-ALI rats.
This review aims to critically synthesize how Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) interacts with the vascular endothelium during invasive infection and to link endothelial pathogenic mechanisms with emerging therapeutic opportunities. We reviewed the literature on S. aureus virulence factors, endothelial barrier dysfunction, host immune amplification, complement modulation, immunothrombosis, antimicrobial resistance, and adjunctive therapeutic strategies. The evidence was organized according to functional virulence modules, biological stages of endothelial interaction, host-driven amplification pathways, and mechanism-linked therapeutic opportunities. S. aureus–induced endothelial injury arises from the convergence of bacterial virulence and host vascular responses. Adhesins and surface-associated proteins promote endothelial attachment and invasion; toxins disrupt membrane integrity, junctional stability, and immune homeostasis; and enzymes together with immune-evasion factors support dissemination and persistence. These bacterial mechanisms are amplified by complement activation and evasion, neutrophil extracellular traps, inflammasome signaling, immunothrombosis, and immunometabolic reprogramming, ultimately leading to vascular leakage, procoagulant conversion, impaired repair, and organ dysfunction. Evidence is strongest for selected adhesion pathways and α-haemolysin (Hla)-mediated endothelial barrier injury, whereas several host-amplification mechanisms are inferred from non-S. aureus inflammatory or sepsis models. Mechanistic understanding of S. aureus–endothelium interactions provides a rationale for adjunctive strategies beyond standard antimicrobial therapy, including anti-adhesion approaches, toxin neutralization, host-directed modulation of excessive inflammation and immunothrombosis, and candidate endothelial biomarker-guided risk stratification. However, most emerging strategies remain preclinical or lack prospective validation in well-defined S. aureus infection cohorts.
Uncontrolled inflammation and excessive M1 macrophage polarization are key drivers of acute lung injury (ALI). Scutellarin (SCU), a natural flavonoid compound, possesses anti-inflammatory activity, but its precise mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether SCU alleviates ALI by targeting guanine nucleotide-binding protein 2 (GBP2) and regulating alveolar macrophage polarization. A lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI mouse model was used to evaluate the therapeutic effects of SCU. Macrophage polarization and lung injury severity were assessed histologically and by cytokine analysis. Transcriptomic profiling (RNA-seq) identified GBP2 as a candidate target. GBP2 was knocked down or overexpressed in MH-S cells to evaluate its role in LPS-induced polarization. Co-immunoprecipitation, molecular docking, and immunofluorescence were performed to confirm the interaction between GBP2 and STAT3. SCU pre-treatment significantly alleviated lung injury, reduced inflammatory cytokine levels, and improved the wet-to-dry lung weight ratio. It modulated macrophage polarization by downregulating LPS-induced M1 polarization in alveolar macrophages. Mechanistically, SCU downregulated GBP2 expression and suppressed activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in LPS-stimulated models. SCU ameliorates LPS-induced ALI by modulating alveolar macrophage polarization through inhibition of the GBP2/JAK2/STAT3 pathway. These findings suggest that SCU may serve as a potential therapeutic agent for ALI.
Hypothermia can cause acute lung injury (ALI). The pathogenetic mechanism of hypothermic ALI involves various proteins. Cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) is secreted by macrophages or damaged cells and enhances the inflammatory response, resulting in tissue and organ damage. However, it is unclear whether CIRP participates in the development of hypothermic ALI; moreover, the expression pattern of CIRP and its mechanism of action in hypothermic ALI remain unelucidated. To address this issue, we established a stable, long-term seawater immersion-induced hypothermic ALI rat model. CIRP expression in the rat lung tissue was downregulated by adeno-associated virus (AAV) to determine the correlation between the expression of CIRP as well as its related signaling pathway proteins Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells-1 (TREM-1)and lung injury in a low-temperature ALI model. A long-term, seawater immersion-induced hypothermic ALI rat model was established by immersing the rats in seawater at 18°C for 24 h. As the seawater immersion time increased, the intensity of ALI worsened. CIRP levels in the lung tissue and serum of rats with hypothermic ALI significantly increased in a time-dependent manner; the levels gradually increased within 24 h and were positively correlated with the expression of inflammatory factors. CIRP knockdown in the rat lung tissue by using AAV significantly decreased the lung coefficient and injury score, reduced the levels of inflammatory factors, and attenuated the expression levels of TREM-1 and NF-κB. This finding suggests that CIRP exacerbates the inflammatory response in hypothermic ALI through TREM-1 and NF-κB-related signaling pathways. The present study revealed that CIRP expression increased in the lung tissue and serum of rats with hypothermic ALI in a time-dependent manner and showed a positive correlation with inflammatory factor release. Knockdown of CIRP expression in the rat lung tissue might reduce inflammation and alleviate lung injury by inhibiting TREM-1 and NF-κB signaling pathway proteins.
Alveolar macrophage (AM) polarization plays a pivotal role in the inflammatory response during acute lung injury (ALI). As reported previously, vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) may function as an anti-inflammatory agent in hepatic tissues. However, the specific role of VASP in ALI-induced macrophage polarization remains unclear. To elucidate the role of VASP in ALI, we established a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced M1 polarization model of MH-S cells. RNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed genes during macrophage polarization. The results revealed significant upregulation of the VASP gene. Subsequently, VASP gene knockdown in the lungs was achieved by intratracheal delivery of VASP-AAV6, and the resulting ALI symptoms and macrophage polarization were assessed. The VASP gene was also knocked down in MH-S cells; these cells were then stimulated with LPS for 24 h, and polarization-related markers of macrophages were analyzed. Finally, to validate the involvement of the PKG-VASP signaling pathway, experiments were conducted with a PKG agonist (8-Br-cGMP) and inhibitor (KT5823), and the effects of modulating the PKG-VASP pathway on macrophage polarization were investigated. VASP knockdown notably ameliorated ALI symptoms in these mice with LPS-induced ALI. Additionally, in vitro experiments showed that the PKG-VASP signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in macrophage polarization. VASP knockdown protected mice from LPS-induced ALI by inhibiting M1 polarization, and its protective effects were partially mediated by the cGMP-PKG signaling pathway.

Hand, foot and mouth disease was mainly caused by EV-A71 virus. The main antigen structure of VP1 region of EV-A71 was easily varied. Here, we investigated the seroprevalence of EV-A71 based on a large group of healthy individuals in Beijing, China, in order to study the effectiveness of EV-A71 vaccine in a real-world setting. BrCr and the clinical strain isolated from the Chinese mainland in 2008 ("vaccine strain:"CMU4232/BJ/CHN/2008), EV-A71 C4 epidemic strains isolated in 2010, 2013, and 2016, were tested for neutralizing antibodies (NtAb) in every year. Phylogenetic tree analysis of the EV-A71 strains above, as well as amino acid composition homologous sequence analysis were applied. The "vaccine strain" has 83.0% homology with FY23, H07 and FY7VP5. It belongs to the same branch of C4a as 10 C4, 13 C4 and 16 C4, and differs from the amino acid sites 283 and 293 of 16 C4. Compared with "vaccine strains," there was a significant difference between the 50-59 years old age group when the NtAb titer of 16 C4 strain was 1:512-1:1024. Our results suggest that changes in the functional epitopes of NtAb caused by amino acid 283 and 293 loci in EV-A71 strains may affect the production of neutralizing antibodies.

Objective To compare the consistency and accuracy between rapid direct detection method (rapid method) and traditional detection method (traditional method) for bacterial identification and drug sensitivity test of positive blood culture specimens. Methods The bloodstream infection specimens of the outpatients, emergency patients and inpatients of the Chinese PLA General Hospital from 2019 to 2020 were collected and placed in a blood culture apparatus. After the blood culture alarm, positive blood culture specimens were collected. At the same time, the rapid method and the traditional method were used for culture. After culture, bacteria identification and drug susceptibility test were conducted respectively, and the consistency of bacteria identification and drug susceptibility test between the two methods was recorded and compared. Results Among the 149 positive blood specimens from patients with bloodstream infection, 79 strains of Gram-positive cocci and 70 strains of Gram-negative bacilli were identified by traditional method; 75 strains of Gram-positive cocci and 67 strains of Gram-negative bacilli were identified by the rapid method. Compared with the traditional method, the overall coincidence rate of the rapid method in identify bacteria was 95.3%(142/149), among which the coincidence rate of Gram-positive cocci was 94.9%(75/79), and that of Gram-negative bacilli was 95.7%(67/70). In the traditional method, 76 strains (96.2%) of Gram-positive cocci and 66 strains (94.3%) of Gram-negative bacteria can effectively identify their species; 3 strains (3.8%) of Gram-positive cocci and 4 strains (5.7%) of Gram-negative bacilli could effectively identify their genera. In the rapid method, 52 strains (69.3%) of Gram-positive cocci and 63 strains (94.0%) of Gram-negative bacilli could effectively identify their species, 20 strains (26.7%) of Gram-positive cocci and 3 strains (4.5%) of Gram-negative bacilli could effectively identify their genera. According to the criteria of drug sensitivity test results, the coincidence rates between the rapid method and the traditional method for drug sensitivity test of Gram-positive cocci and Gram-negative bacilli were more than or equal to 90.0%, the general error rates were less than 10.0%, the serious error rates were less than 3.0% except compound sulfamethoxazole, and the extremely serious error rates were less than 1.5%. Conclusion The rapid method can effectively shorten the time of identification and drug sensitivity test, and the identification results are accurate. It is helpful for clinicians to make a clear diagnosis and adjust the treatment plan in time, quickly shift from empirical use of broad-spectrum antibiotics to targeted treatment, and provide more effective treatment plan for patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of the transplantation of autologous and allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) on the cardiac function in rats with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods Firstly, ADMSCs were isolated from BN and Lewis rats, and the third generation were labeled with CM-DiI. Then 45 male Lewis rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (control group, autologous cell transplantation group, and allogeneic cell transplantation group). The AMI model was established by ligating the rats' left anterior descending artery, and then the infarcted myocardium as well as the peripheral parts was injected by the labeled ADMSCs via the endocardium. At 7 days after ADMSC transplantation, the infiltration of CD4+ T lymphocytes, CD8+ T lymphocytes and CD68+ macrophages were detected by immunofluorescence technique. At 7, 14 and 28 days after transplantation, survival rate of the transplanted cells was compared. Then echocardiography was used to detect the rats' cardiac function at 28 days after transplantation. And the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) was detected by immunofluorescence technique for determining the angiogenesis near the transplanted cells. Results The positive rate of the cells labeled with CM-DiI was nearly 100%. At 7 days after transplantation, lymphocyte infiltration and macrophages were observed around the transplanted cells in the allogeneic cell transplantation group. No lymphocyte infiltration and macrophages were observed in the autologous cell transplantation group. Compared with allogeneic cell transplantation, the survival rate of the transplanted cells increased significantly. Moreover, the left ventricular short axis shortening rate (LVFS) and the diastolic left ventricular anterior wall thickness (LVAWTd) increased at 7, 14 and 28 days after transplantation. Meanwhile, the number of angiogenesis around the infarcted myocardium also significantly increased. Conclusion Autologous ADMSC transplantation is significantly better at improving cardiac function in AMI rats than allogeneic ADMSC transplantation.
