摘要：Environmental factors may alter the fetal genome to cause metabolic diseases. It is unknown whether embryonic immune cell programming impacts the risk of type 2 diabetes in later life. We demonstrate that transplantation of fetal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) made vitamin D deficient in utero induce diabetes in vitamin D-sufficient mice. Vitamin D deficiency epigenetically suppresses Jarid2 expression and activates the Mef2/PGC1a pathway in HSCs, which persists in recipient bone marrow, resulting in adipose macrophage infiltration. These macrophages secrete miR106-5p, which promotes adipose insulin resistance by repressing PIK3 catalytic and regulatory subunits and down-regulating AKT signaling. Vitamin D-deficient monocytes from human cord blood have comparable Jarid2/Mef2/PGC1a expression changes and secrete miR-106b-5p, causing adipocyte insulin resistance. These findings suggest that vitamin D deficiency during development has epigenetic consequences impacting the systemic metabolic milieu.

摘要：Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition with a high recurrence rate. To date, the clinical treatment of IBD mainly focuses on inflammation and gastrointestinal symptoms while ignoring the accompanying visceral pain, anxiety, depression, and other emotional symptoms. Evidence is accumulating that bi-directional communication between the gut and the brain is indispensable in the pathophysiology of IBD and its comorbidities. Increasing efforts have been focused on elucidating the central immune mechanisms in visceral hypersensitivity and depression following colitis. The triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells-1/2 (TREM-1/2) are newly identified receptors that can be expressed on microglia. In particular, TREM-1 acts as an immune and inflammatory response amplifier, while TREM-2 may function as a molecule with a putative antagonist role to TREM-1. In the present study, using the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis model, we found that peripheral inflammation induced microglial and glutamatergic neuronal activation in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). Microglial ablation mitigated visceral hypersensitivity in the inflammation phase rather than in the remission phase, subsequently preventing the emergence of depressive-like behaviors in the remission phase. Moreover, a further mechanistic study revealed that overexpression of TREM-1 and TREM-2 remarkably aggravated DSS-induced neuropathology. The improved outcome was achieved by modifying the balance of TREM-1 and TREM-2 via genetic and pharmacological means. Specifically, a deficiency of TREM-1 attenuated visceral hyperpathia in the inflammatory phase, and a TREM-2 deficiency improved depression-like symptoms in the remission phase. Taken together, our findings provide insights into mechanism-based therapy for inflammatory disorders and establish that microglial innate immune receptors TREM-1 and TREM-2 may represent a therapeutic target for the treatment of pain and psychological comorbidities associated with chronic inflammatory diseases by modulating neuroinflammatory responses.

摘要：Ferroptosis is an emerging antitumor treatment modality with the superiority for evading apoptotic cell death pathway. However, how to elevate catalytic efficacy of Fe⁵-mediated Fenton reaction and efficiently elicit ferroptosis remain enormously challenging. Herein, inspired by hyperthermia-enhanced Fenton reaction kinetics, we firstly designed iron-polyphenol-aspirin-coordinated nanochelates for photothermal-enhanced ferroptosis antitumor immunotherapy. Specifically, we modulated optimal mass feeding ratio of gallic acid (GA), aspirin (ASA), Fe (II) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to construct novel nanofibrous GA-ASA-Fe (II) metalchelates named GAFs. The variations in size and structure allowed the nanomedicines to avoid the risk of premature renal clearance in vivo, compared with the reported ultrasmall GA-Fe (II) nanocomplexes (GFs). Under NIR laser irradiation, GAFs could constantly amplify toxic hydroxyl radicals (radical dotOH) generation and deplete excessive GSH to induce more accumulation of lethal lipid peroxidation (LPO), thereby triggering ferroptosis pathway in vitro and in vivo. Besides, the introduction of ASA could inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂), in combination with photothermal-enhanced ferroptosis tumor therapy to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), promote maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) and activate cytotoxic T cells for synergistic antitumor immunotherapy. GAFs with laser irradiation exhibited the capacity of inhibition of pulmonary metastasis. This work presented a strategy for incorporating small molecule immunomodulator into the metal-polyphenolic coordination to ameliorate its deficiencies, thereby inspiring a new design concept for tumor treatment.
