Neutrophil extracellular traps in fungal infections: A seesaw battle in hosts

Hua Zhong, Ren-Yi Lu, Yan Wang

Summary: Fungal infections present a growing challenge in healthcare. Neutrophils are essential in defense against fungal infections and employ various mechanisms like phagocytosis, oxidative bursts, and the formation of extracellular traps to eliminate fungal invaders. The study of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) has made significant progress since its discovery, and this article describes the formation, induction, and function of NETs, as well as fungal strategies to evade NETs hunting.

Neutrophil diversity in inflammation and cancer

Silvia Carnevale, Irene Di Ceglie, Giovanna Grieco, Anna Rigatelli, Eduardo Bonavita, Sebastien Jaillon

Summary: Neutrophils, the most abundant circulating leukocytes in humans, have been traditionally viewed as short-lived effector cells. However, they are now recognized as diverse immune cells that can adapt to different environmental cues. While neutrophils play a central role in host defense, their presence in pathological contexts such as inflammatory diseases and cancer can lead to detrimental inflammatory responses and poor clinical outcomes. Nevertheless, recent studies have shown that neutrophils may have a beneficial role in certain pathological contexts, including cancer.

IL-20 subfamily cytokines impair the oesophageal epithelial barrier by diminishing filaggrin in eosinophilic oesophagitis

Tanay Kaymak, Berna Kaya, Philipp Wuggenig, Sandro Nuciforo, Andreas Goldi, Franz Oswald, Julien Roux, Mario Noti, Hassan Melhem, Petr Hruz, Jan Hendrik Niess

Summary: This study illustrates the importance of the IL-20 subfamily in maintaining the barrier function of the esophagus in the context of EoE. The dysregulation of IL-20 subfamily signaling disrupts the integrity of the esophageal epithelial barrier and promotes the development of EoE. Targeting the IL-20 subfamily signaling pathway may provide a novel strategy for the treatment of EoE.

RNF128 regulates neutrophil infiltration and myeloperoxidase functions to prevent acute lung injury

Pei-Yao Liu, Chih-Yuan Chen, Yu-Lung Lin, Chien-Ming Lin, Wen-Chiuan Tsai, Yu-Ling Tsai, Gu-Jiun Lin, Yu-Guang Chen, Shih-Yun Wang, Rui-Nong Sun, Yu-Chuan Huang, Hung Chang, Ying-Chuan Chen

Summary: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe condition characterized by pulmonary inflammation, barrier disruption, and oedema. This study identifies RNF128 as a negative regulator of ALI by inhibiting neutrophil activation, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, and targeting TLR4 for degradation. Overexpression of RNF128 alleviates lung damage and reduces inflammatory cell infiltration, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic candidate for ALI.

Ameliorative effect of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) essential oil on chlorpyrifos toxicity inCyprinus carpio

Aysegul Pala, Osman Serdar, Serpil Mise Yonar, Muhammet Enis Yonar

Summary: The study showed that the protective effect of Fennel essential oil (FEO) against Chlorpyrifos-induced toxicity in carp was significant. While CPF treatment led to a decrease in Hb, NBT, and TI levels, as well as an increase in MDA levels and a decrease in GSH, AChE, CAT, and GPx activities, FEO treatment improved these parameters. Additionally, AChE activity was not improved by FEO treatment.

Summary: The impacts of microplastics (MP) on freshwater lake ecosystems and food webs were examined. Results showed that the ingestion of MP by zooplankton was mainly limited to large-bodied Daphnia, leading to a decrease in biomass. Atrophic transfer of MP was observed through the presence of MP in the faecal pellets of odonate larvae. Despite the low impact on biomass transfer and emergence patterns, the experiment provided the first in situ observation of MP transfer to terrestrial ecosystems by emerging chironomids.

Past, present, and possible future policies on plastic use in the United States, particularly microplastics and nanoplastics: A review

Rachel M. Sorensen, Rameshwar S. Kanwar, Boris Jovanovi

Summary: As global plastic usage increases, it is crucial to regulate both microplastics and nanoplastics. The United States Congress and federal agencies have passed laws and regulations that can address plastic pollution, but microplastic and nanoplastic waste in water or air are currently not regulated. States have implemented plastic regulations, with California focusing on monitoring microplastics in drinking water. TSCA should be used to test the safety of plastics, and other statutes should include microplastics in their definitions. The FDA should redefine microplastics as contaminants and set tolerances for their presence in food and beverages. Minor changes in the classification of microplastics can help minimize their potential effects on human health and the environment.

Nikola Stankovic, Boris Jovanovic, Ivana Kostic Kokic, Milica Stojkovic Piperac, Jelica Simeunovic, Dimitar Jakimov, Ivica Dimkic, Djuradj Milosevic

Summary: Cyanobacteria and their toxic metabolites, including microcystin-LR, have been found to have detrimental effects on aquatic organisms, especially in the presence of environmental stressors. This study investigated the effects of microcystin-LR and Trichormus variabilis on Chironomus riparius larvae in a multistress environment and found that microcystin-LR had an additive effect with environmental stressors, leading to increased larval mortality. Chronic exposure to microcystin-LR also resulted in reduced larval mass, hemoglobin concentration, and DNA damage in somatic cells. These findings highlight the importance of studying the interactions between stressors and cyanotoxins in aquatic ecosystems.
