Fu Tu Sheng Jin Rehabilitation Formula Mitigate Airway Inflammation, Mucus Secretion and Immune Dysfunction Induced by SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein by Wang BH, Yu KY, Zhang XN, Sun XH, Tang LL, Shi XL

“…Flow cytometry was used to detect T helper 17 (Th17)/regulatory T (Treg) cells and T helper 1(Th1)/T helper 2 (Th2) lymphocyte ratios and the proportions of conventional myeloid dendritic cells (cDCs), plasma cell-like DCs, CD80 and CD86 cells in mouse spleens.Results: HE and PAS staining showed that, compared to that in the normal group, the lung tissue of the D1 group mice showed a significant inflammatory damage response, whereas the D3 and D10 groups showed a gradual recovery trend. …”

The Effects of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Antimelanoma Immunity Depend on the Timing of Their Administration by Dragana Miloradovic, Dragica Miloradovic, Bojana Simovic Markovic, Aleksandar Acovic, Carl Randall Harrell, Valentin Djonov, Nebojsa Arsenijevic, Vladislav Volarevic

“…On the contrary, MSCs, injected 14 days after melanoma induction (B16F10+MSC14d-treated mice), promoted tumor growth by suppressing antigen-presenting properties of tumor-infiltrating dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages and by reducing tumoricidal capacity of NK cells and T lymphocytes. …”

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species trigger metformin-dependent antitumor immunity via activation of Nrf2/mTORC1/p62 axis in tumor-infiltrating CD8T lymphocytes by Kazuhiro Kakimi, Hirokazu Matsushita, Masaaki Komatsu, Eiryo Kawakami, Mikako Nishida, Nahoko Yamashita, Taisaku Ogawa, Keita Koseki, Eiji Warabi, Tomoyuki Ohue, Katsuyuki Shiroguchi, Heiichiro Udono

“…Consequently, Glut-1 is elevated in CD8TILs, together with the expansion of activated dendritic cells. Moreover, tumor cells lacking in IFNγR signaling abolish IFN-γ production and proliferation of CD8TILs.Conclusions We found that Met stimulates production of mtROS, which triggers Glut-1 elevation and Nrf2 activation in CD8TILs. …”
