Using the techniques of monoclonal antibody and radioactive isotope,we found that the total glueosides of paeony (TGP) could almost regain peripheral blood T cell subsets increased or decreased ,supressed cellular immune function and disordered humor immune function of the patients with endogenous uveitis(ElJ) to normal level ,but could not regain those evidently of the patients in control group. The result suggested that TGP might possess double immunomodulatory effect on the patients with EU. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1994,10:146-148）
Objective To review the osteoimmunomodulatory effects and related mechanisms of inorganic biomaterials in the process of bone repair. Methods A wide range of relevant domestic and foreign literature was reviewed, the characteristics of various inorganic biomaterials in the process of bone repair were summarized, and the osteoimmunomodulatory mechanism in the process of bone repair was discussed. Results Immune cells play a very important role in the dynamic balance of bone tissue. Inorganic biomaterials can directly regulate the immune cells in the body by changing their surface roughness, surface wettability, and other physical and chemical properties, constructing a suitable immune microenvironment, and then realizing dynamic regulation of bone repair. Conclusion Inorganic biomaterials are a class of biomaterials that are widely used in bone repair. Fully understanding the role of inorganic biomaterials in immunomodulation during bone repair will help to design novel bone immunomodulatory scaffolds for bone repair.
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a gastroenterological emergency with an acute onset and a high mortality rate. The main pathogenesis of AP is pancreatic damage and excessive activation of inflammatory cells induced by multiple factors. Due to anatomical features, the liver is the first extrapancreatic organ to be attacked by high concentrations of trypsin and inflammatory mediators during AP. Hepatic macrophages have been shown to be a major source of AP-related inflammatory factors. Interventions targeting hepatic macrophages may be critical to block liver injury/failure during AP, promote tissue repair, and reduce systemic symptoms. This review summarizes the pathological role of hepatic macrophages in AP and targeted interventions to provide new ideas and approaches to resolve the pathogenesis of AP and alleviate concurrent liver injury.
Objective To review the research progress in the construction strategy and application of bone/cartilage immunomodulating hydrogels. Methods The literature related to bone/cartilage immunomodulating hydrogels at home and abroad in recent years was reviewed and summarized from the immune response mechanism of different immune cells, the construction strategy of immunomodulating hydrogels, and their practical applications. Results According to the immune response mechanism of different immune cells, the biological materials with immunoregulatory effect is designed, which can regulate the immune response of the body and thus promote the regeneration of bone/cartilage tissue. Immunomodulating hydrogels have good biocompatibility, adjustability, and multifunctionality. By regulating the physical and chemical properties of hydrogel and loading factors or cells, the immune system of the body can be purposively regulated, thus forming an immune microenvironment conducive to osteochondral regeneration. ConclusionImmunomodulating hydrogels can promote osteochondral repair by affecting the immunomodulation process of host organs or cells. It has shown a wide application prospect in the repair of osteochondral defects. However, more data support from basic and clinical experiments is needed for this material to further advance its clinical translation process.
Mitochondrial quality control includes mechanisms such as mitochondria-derived vesicles, fusion / fission and autophagy. These processes rely on the collaboration of a variety of key proteins in the inner and outer membranes of mitochondria to jointly regulate the morphological structure and functional integrity of mitochondria, repair mitochondrial damage, and maintain the homeostasis of their internal environment. The imbalance of mitochondrial quality control is associated with leukemia. Therefore, by exploring the mechanisms related to mitochondrial quality control of various leukemia cells and their interactions with immune cells and immune microenvironment, this article sought possible targets in the treatment of leukemia, providing new ideas for the immunotherapy of leukemia.
ObjectiveTo understand the role of complement system in the immune mechanism of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its potential therapy value. MethodThe national and international literature relavant researches of complement system in the HCC was reviewed. ResultsBased on HCC as an immunogenic cancer and the complement system as a part of the innate immune system, it had potential application value in immunotherapy. Eight complement components (complement intrinsic components C1q, C3, and mannose binding lectin, soluble regulatory proteins complement factor H and C4b, and membrane regulatory proteins CD46 and CD59, as well as complement receptor C5aR1) were closely associated with HCC. The activation of the complement system could participate in the occurrence and development of HCC through various mechanisms. The complement inhibitor, it could regulate the activity of complement related activation pathways, enhance anti-tumor ability, and provide a potential new strategy for immunotherapy of HCC. ConclusionsAt present, only a few complement components have been found in HCC research. Although it has been found that multiple complement components play a role in regulating the immune mechanism of HCC, there is still no definite or recognized theoretical basis. In the future, further exploration of the protective or pathogenic mechanisms of complement components in HCC immunity is needed to objectively evaluate the risks and benefits of complement related inhibitor therapy and in combination with other anti-tumor immune therapies.
