Hydroxychloroquine induced lung cancer suppression by enhancing chemo-sensitization and promoting the transition of M2-TAMs to M1-like macrophages | Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research | Full Text - 0 views

  •  
    hydroxychloroquine induces chemo-sensitivity and pushes M2 to M1 macrophage polarization. Effects occur within the TME to increase CD8+ activity within the TME.

The Canonical NF-κB Pathway Governs Mammary Tumorigenesis in Transgenic Mice and Tumor Stem Cell Expansion - 0 views

  •  
    NF-kappaB and the associated inflammatory pathways are associated with tumor growth, vascular growth within the tumor, and increased migration of macrophages--thus more inflammation.  When NF-kappaB inhibition was achieved, tumor macrophages and new tumor blood vessel growth was decreased.  Reduced blood vessel growth to the tumor has implications on metastasis of the tumor.

JCI - Inflammatory links between obesity and metabolic disease - 0 views

  • metainflammation
  • The chronic nature of obesity produces a tonic low-grade activation of the innate immune system that affects steady-state measures of metabolic homeostasis over time
  • It is clear that inflammation participates in the link between obesity and disease
  • ...25 more annotations...
  • Multiple inflammatory inputs contribute to metabolic dysfunction, including increases in circulating cytokines (10), decreases in protective factors (e.g., adiponectin; ref. 11), and communication between inflammatory and metabolic cells
  • adipose tissue macrophage (ATM)
  • Physiologic enhancement of the M2 pathways (e.g., eosinophil recruitment in parasitic infection) also appears to be capable of reducing metainflammation and improving insulin sensitivity (27).
  • increasing adiposity results in a shift in the inflammatory profile of ATMs as a whole from an M2 state to one in which classical M1 proinflammatory signals predominate (21–23).
  • The M2 activation state is intrinsically linked to the activity of PPARδ and PPARγ
  • well-known regulators of lipid metabolism and mitochondrial activity
  • Independent of obesity, hypothalamic inflammation can impair insulin release from β cells, impair peripheral insulin action, and potentiate hypertension (63–65).
  • inflammation in pancreatic islets can reduce insulin secretion and trigger β cell apoptosis leading to decreased islet mass, critical events in the progression to diabetes (33, 34)
  • Since an estimated excess of 20–30 million macrophages accumulate with each kilogram of excess fat in humans, one could argue that increased adipose tissue mass is de facto a state of increased inflammatory mass
  • JNK, TLR4, ER stress)
  • NAFLD is associated with an increase in M1/Th1 cytokines and quantitative increases in immune cells
  • Upon stimulation by LPS and IFN-γ, macrophages assume a classical proinflammatory activation state (M1) that generates bactericidal or Th1 responses typically associated with obesity
  • DIO, metabolites such as diacylglycerols and ceramides accumulate in the hypothalamus and induce leptin and insulin resistance in the CNS (58, 59)
  • saturated FAs, which activate neuronal JNK and NF-κB signaling pathways with direct effects on leptin and insulin signaling (60)
  • Lipid infusion and a high-fat diet (HFD) activate hypothalamic inflammatory signaling pathways, resulting in increased food intake and nutrient storage (57)
  • Maternal obesity is associated with endotoxemia and ATM accumulation that may affect the developing fetus (73)
  • Placental inflammation is a characteristic of maternal obesity
  • a risk factor for obesity in offspring, and involves inflammatory macrophage infiltration that can alter the maternal-fetal circulation (74
  • Of these PRRs, TLR4 has received the most attention, as this receptor can be activated by free FAs to generate proinflammatory signals and activate NF-κB
  • Nod-like receptor (NLR) family of PRRs
  • ceramides and sphingolipids
  • The adipokine adiponectin has long been recognized to have positive benefits on multiple cell types to promote insulin sensitivity and deactivate proinflammatory pathways.
  • adiponectin stimulates ceramidase activity and modulates the balance between ceramides and sphingosine-1-phosphate
  • Inhibition of ceramide production blocks the ability of saturated FAs to induce insulin resistance (101)
  • NF-κB, obesity also activates JNK in insulin-responsive tissues

Unveiling the Mechanisms for Decreased Glutathione in Individuals with HIV Infection - 0 views

  •  
    men with HIV have GSH depleted macrophages.  GSH is the reduced, ready to act form of Glutathione.  In contrast, the macrophages were high in the oxidized form of Glutathione--GSSG.  In HIV, the high inflammation increased oxidative stress, likely overwhelmed Nrf2 activation and resulted in decreased GSH synthase transcription and thus decreased Glutathione production balance.

Targeting tumor-infiltrating macrophages decreases tumor-initiating cells, relieves immunosuppression and improves chemotherapeutic responses - 0 views

  •  
    Chemotherapy increases TAMs in the primary tumors. These TAMs suppresses the anti-cancer cytotoxicity of T cells. The authors here describe both TAMs and TIMs. TAMs are the M1/M2 most often discussed. M2 TAMs increase Tumor Infiltrating Macrophages (TIMs) which increase local immunosuppression and chemotherapy resistance.
