    Abstract In pulpitis, dentinal restorative processes are considerably associated with undifferentiated mesenchymal cells in the pulp. This study aimed to investigate strategies to improve the odonto/osteogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) in an inflammatory environment. After pretreatment of DPSCs with 20 ng/mL tumor necrosis factor-induced protein-6 (TSG-6), DPSCs were cultured in an inflammation-inducing solution. Real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting were performed to measure the expression levels of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and odonto/osteogenic differentiation markers, respectively. Cell Counting Kit-8 and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assays were used to assess cell proliferation and activity. Subcutaneous ectopic osteogenesis and mandibular bone cultures were performed to assess the effects of TSG-6 in vivo. The expression levels of odonto/osteogenic markers were higher in TSG-6-pre-treated DPSCs than nontreated DPSCs, whereas NF-κB-related proteins were lower after the induction of inflammation. An anti-CD44 antibody counteracted the rescue effect of TSG-6 on DPSC activity and mineralization in an inflammatory environment. Exogenous administration of TSG-6 enhanced the anti-inflammatory properties of DPSCs and partially restored their mineralization function by inhibiting NF-κB signaling. The mechanism of action of TSG-6 was attributed to its interaction with CD44. These findings reveal novel mechanisms by which DPSCs counter inflammation and provide a basis for the treatment of pulpitis.

    Abstract Neutrophils comprise the majority of immune cells in human peripheral circulation, have potent antimicrobial activities, and are clinically significant in their abundance, heterogeneity, and subcellular localization. In the past few years, the role of neutrophils as components of the innate immune response has been studied in numerous ways, and these cells are crucial in fighting infections, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. T-helper 17 (Th17) cells that produce interleukin 17 (IL-17) are critical in fighting infections and maintaining mucosal immune homeostasis, whereas they mediate several autoimmune diseases. Neutrophils affect adaptive immune responses by interacting with adaptive immune cells. In this review, we describe the physiological roles of both Th17 cells and neutrophils and their interactions and briefly describe the pathological processes in which these two cell types participate. We provide a summary of relevant drugs targeting IL-17A and their clinical trials. Here, we highlight the interactions between Th17 cells and neutrophils in diverse pathophysiological situations.

    Abstract The ability of dendritic cells (DCs) to initiate and regulate adaptive immune responses is fundamental for maintaining immune homeostasis upon exposure to self or foreign antigens. The immune regulatory function of DCs is strictly controlled by their distribution as well as by cytokines, chemokines, and transcriptional programming. These factors work in conjunction to determine whether DCs exert an immunosuppressive or immune-activating function. Therefore, understanding the molecular signals involved in DC-dependent immunoregulation is crucial in providing insight into the generation of organismal immunity and revealing potential clinical applications of DCs. Considering the many breakthroughs in DC research in recent years, in this review we focused on three basic lines of research directly related to the biological functions of DCs and summarized new immunotherapeutic strategies involving DCs. First, we reviewed recent findings on DC subsets and identified lineage-restricted transcription factors that guide the development of different DC subsets. Second, we discussed the recognition and processing of antigens by DCs through pattern recognition receptors, endogenous/exogenous pathways, and the presentation of antigens through peptide/major histocompatibility complexes. Third, we reviewed how interactions between DCs and T cells coordinate immune homeostasis in vivo via multiple pathways. Finally, we summarized the application of DC-based immunotherapy for autoimmune diseases and tumors and highlighted potential research prospects for immunotherapy that targets DCs. This review provides a useful resource to better understand the immunomodulatory signals involved in different subsets of DCs and the manipulation of these immune signals can facilitate DC-based immunotherapy.

    Abstract Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease accompanied by multiple lesions. The main manifestations include dryness of the mouth and eyes, along with systemic complications (e.g., pulmonary disease, kidney injury, and lymphoma). In this review, we highlight that IFNs, Th17 cell-related cytokines (IL-17 and IL-23), and B cell-related cytokines (TNF and BAFF) are crucial for the pathogenesis of SS. We also summarize the advances in experimental treatment strategies, including targeting Treg/Th17, mesenchymal stem cell treatment, targeting BAFF, inhibiting JAK pathway, et al. Similar to that of SLE, RA, and MS, biotherapeutic strategies of SS consist of neutralizing antibodies and inflammation-related receptor blockers targeting proinflammatory signaling pathways. However, clinical research on SS therapy is comparatively rare. Moreover, the differences in the curative effects of immunotherapies among SS and other autoimmune diseases are not fully understood. We emphasize that targeted drugs, low-side-effect drugs, and combination therapies should be the focus of future research.
