Acute liver failure (ALF) is a severe disease caused by disruptions in the body’s immune microenvironment. In early stages of ALF, Kupffer cells (KCs) become depleted and recruit monocytes derived from bone marrow or abdomen to replace macrophages entering liver. These differentiate into mature macrophages, which are activated microenvironment polarized perform various functions. Macrophage polarization can occur two directions: pro-inflammatory M1 anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages. Controlling ratio direction ALF help reduce injury. However, damage pyroptosis should not be underestimated, as it caspase-dependent form cell death. Inhibiting has been shown effectively induced ALF.

NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation serves a pivotal role pathogenesis various forms injury. However, cellular source for NLRP3 induction and its involvement during APAP‑induced hepatotoxicity have not been thoroughly investigated. In present study, hematoxylin eosin staining was performed to assess histopathological changes tissue. Immunohistochemistry staining(NLRP3, Caspase‑1, IL‑1β, GSDMD Caspase‑3), western blotting (NLRP3, Caspase‑3) RT‑qPCR Caspase‑1 IL‑1β) were expression NLRP3/GSDMD signaling pathway.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic relapsing gastrointestinal disorder, while the treatment effect not satisfactory. Immune responsive gene 1 (IRG1) highly expressed in macrophage response to inflammatory and catalyzes production of itaconate. Studies have reported that IRG1/itaconate has significant antioxidant effect. This study aimed investigate mechanism on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis vivo vitro. In experiments, we found exerted protective effects against acute by increasing mice weight, length colon, reducing activity index colonic inflammation. Meanwhile, IRG1 deletion aggravated macrophages/CD4+/CD8+ T-cell accumulation, increased release interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-6, activation nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, gasdermin D (GSDMD) mediated pyroptosis. Four-octyl itaconate (4-OI), derivative itaconate, attenuated these changes, therefore relieved DSS-induced colitis. vitro experiment, 4-OI inhibited reactive oxygen species production, thereby inhibiting MAPK/NF-κB pathway RAW264.7 murine bone-marrow-derived macrophages.

Metabolic states greatly influence functioning and differentiation of immune cells. Regulating the metabolism cells can effectively modulate host response. Itaconate, an intermediate metabolite derived from tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle cells, is produced through decarboxylation cis-aconitate by decarboxylase in mitochondria. The gene encoding known as response 1 (IRG1). In to external proinflammatory stimulation, macrophages exhibit high IRG1 expression. IRG1/itaconate inhibits succinate dehydrogenase activity, thus influencing metabolic status macrophages. Therefore, itaconate serves a link between macrophage metabolism, oxidative stress, response, ultimately regulating function. Studies have demonstrated that acts on various signaling pathways, including Keap1-nuclear factor E2-related 2-ARE ATF3-IκBζ axis, stimulator interferon genes (STING) pathway exert antiinflammatory antioxidant effects. Furthermore, several studies reported affects cancer occurrence development diverse pathways. this paper, we provide comprehensive review role its derivatives regulation functions.
