    Abstract Objective: Calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal deposition in the joints is associated with a heterogeneous set of debilitating syndromes characterized by inflammation and pain, for which no effective therapies are currently available. Because we found that the mitochondrial enzyme monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) plays a fundamental role in promoting inflammatory pathways, this study aims at assessing the efficacy of two clinical-grade inhibitors (iMAO-Bs) in preclinical models of this disease to pave the way for a novel treatment.
    Methods: We tested our hypothesis in two murine models of CPP-induced arthritis, by measuring cytokine and chemokine levels, along with immune cell recruitment. iMAO-Bs (rasagiline and safinamide) were administered either before or after crystal injection. To elucidate the molecular mechanism, we challenged in vitro primed macrophages with CPP crystals and assessed the impact of iMAO-Bs in dampening proinflammatory cytokines and in preserving mitochondrial function.
    Results: Both in preventive and therapeutic in vivo protocols, iMAO-Bs blunted the release of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin [IL]-6 and IL1-β) and chemokines (CXCL10, CXCL1, CCL2 and CCL5) (n > 6 mice/group). Importantly, they also significantly reduced ankle swelling (50.3% vs 17.1%; P < 0.001 and 23.1%; P = 0.005 for rasagiline and safinamide, respectively). Mechanistically, iMAO-Bs dampened the burst of reactive oxygen species and the mitochondrial dysfunction triggered by CPP crystals in isolated macrophages. Moreover, iMAO-Bs blunted cytokine secretion and NLRP3 inflammasome activation through inhibition of the NF-κB and STAT3 pathways.
    Conclusion: iMAO-Bs dampen inflammation in murine models of crystal-induced arthropathy, thereby uncovering MAO-B as a promising target to treat these diseases.

    Abstract Overcoming tumor immunosuppression still represents one ambitious achievement for cancer immunotherapy. Of note, the cytokine TGF-β contributes to immune evasion in multiple cancer types, by feeding the establishment of a tolerogenic environment in the host. Indeed, it fosters the expansion and accumulation of immunosuppressive regulatory cell populations within the tumor microenvironment (TME), where it also activates resident stromal cells and enhances angiogenesis programs. More recently, TGF-β has also turned out as a key metabolic adjuster in tumors orchestrating metabolic pathways in the TME. In this review, we will scrutinize TGF-β-mediated immune and stromal cell crosstalk within the TME, with a primary focus on metabolic programs.

    Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease, characterized by well-demarcated scaly, erythematous, infiltrated plaques. The cutaneous-to-systemic expansion of the inflammation in psoriasis leads to the concept of "psoriatic march" or "inflammatory skin march". Accordingly, psoriasis is thought to be a systemic inflammatory disease associated with numerous comorbidities. Indeed, it's currently considered an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Here, we discuss the current knowledge on TNF-α and IL-23/IL-17 mediated pathways linking the psoriatic plaque to the cardiovascular compartment. We further argue the possible involvement of the endothelial compartment in the psoriatic plaque- cardiovascular system crosstalk.

    Abstract Vaccination with an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine determines not only a consistent reduction in the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection but also contributes to disease attenuation in infected people. Of note, hyperinflammation and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) have been clearly associated with severe illness and poor prognosis in COVID-19 patients. In this report, we revealed a significant reduction in the levels of IL-1ß and DAMPs molecules, as S100A8 and High Mobility Group Protein B1 (HMGB1), in vaccinated patients as compared to non-vaccinated ones. COVID-19 vaccination indeed prevents severe clinical manifestations in patients and limits the release of systemic danger signals in SARS-CoV-2 infected people.

    Abstract Metastasis still represents the primary cause of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide. Chemokine signalling contributes to the overall process of cancer growth and metastasis, and their expression in both primary tumors and metastatic lesions correlate with prognosis. Chemokines promote tumor metastasization by directly supporting cancer cell survival and invasion, angiogenesis, and by indirectly shaping the pre-metastatic niches and antitumor immunity. Here, we will focus on the relevant chemokine/chemokine receptor axes that have been described to drive the metastatic process. We elaborate on their role in the regulation of tumor angiogenesis and immune cell recruitment at both the primary tumor lesions and the pre-metastatic foci. Furthermore, we also discuss the advantages and limits of current pharmacological strategies developed to target chemokine networks for cancer therapy.

    Abstract After the outburst of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, a worldwide research effort has led to the uncovering of many aspects of the COVID-19, among which we can count the outstanding role played by inflammatory cytokine milieu in the disease progression.

In this study, we investigated whether the pro-inflammatory milieu of the host affects the susceptibility of SARS-CoV-2 infection by modulating

    Abstract The identification of insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is not a minor issue. The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA) is the most used index of IR (Insulin Resistance), validated in overweight and obese patients but not in normal-weight PCOS subjects, who can still present with increased insulin secretion by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The evaluation of insulin secretion and resistance represents a still unresolved problem. The aim of this study is to identify a possible yet noninvasive method to properly evaluate the insulin metabolism in young non-diabetic subjects. Girls aged 14-22 years, afferent to the center of Gynecological Diseases in Childhood and Adolescence of Cagliari (Italy), were screened for PCOS. A total of 42 subjects comprised the study group.
