CD14+ Monocytes Repress Gamma Globin Expression at Early Stages of Erythropoiesis

Researchers showed cultured erythroblasts were a mix of HbA restrictive and HbA/HbF expressing cells and that the proportion of cells in the latter population depends on the starting material.

A Subset of Liver Resident Natural Killer Cells Is Expanded in Hepatitis C-Infected Patients with Better Liver Function

LMCs were less responsive to toll-like receptor stimulation than blood mononuclear cells, with fewer pro-inflammatory gene-expression pathways up-regulated after in vitro exposure to lipopolysaccharide and a TLR-7/8 agonist.

The HIV Protease Inhibitor Saquinavir Attenuates Sepsis-Induced Acute Lung Injury and Promotes M2 Macrophage Polarization via Targeting Matrix Metalloproteinase-9

Scientists focused on the important role of macrophage polarization in cecal ligation puncture-mediated acute lung injury and determined the ability of saquinavir to maintain M2 over M1 phenotype partially through the inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase-9.

Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveal Immune Mechanisms of the Onset and Progression of IgA Nephropathy

The authors performed single-cell RNA sequencing on kidneys and CD14+ peripheral blood mononuclear cells collected from IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and normal samples. In IgAN, upregulation of JCHAIN in mesangial cells provided insight into the trigger mechanism for the dimerization and deposition of IgA1 in situ.

Macrophage Expression and Prognostic Significance of the Long Pentraxin PTX3 in COVID-19

RNA-sequencing analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, single-cell bioinformatics analysis and immunohistochemistry of lung autopsy samples revealed that myelomonocytic cells and endothelial cells expressed high levels of PTX3 in patients with COVID-19.
