Cathepsin C Promotes Breast Cancer Lung Metastasis by Modulating Neutrophil Infiltration and Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation

Scientists showed that tumor-secreted protease cathepsin C promotes breast-to-lung metastasis by regulating recruitment of neutrophils and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps.

Amniotic Fluid-Derived Multipotent Stromal Cells Drive Diabetic Wound Healing through Modulation of Macrophages

Researchers obtained third trimester amniotic fluid from term cesarean delivery and isolated and expanded MSCs in vitro. They then generated 10 mm wounds in Leprdb/db diabetic mouse skin, and splinted them open to allow for humanized wound modeling.

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.

Granzyme B Inhibition Reduces Disease Severity in Autoimmune Blistering Diseases

Scientists explored the role of the immune cell-secreted serine protease, granzyme B, in pemphigoid disease pathogenesis using three independent murine models. In all models, granzyme B knockout or topical pharmacological inhibition significantly reduces total blistering area compared to controls.

LECT2 as a Hepatokine Links Liver Steatosis to Inflammation via Activating Tissue Macrophages in NASH

Hepatic expression of leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) was upregulated in association with the inflammatory signature in human liver tissues. The elevation of LECT2 shifted liver residual macrophage to the M1-like phenotype, and contributed to the development of liver inflammation.
