Pulmonary fibrosis results from a plethora of abnormal pathogenetic events. In idiopathic pulmonary (IPF), inhalational, environmental, or occupational exposures in genetically and epigenetically predisposed individuals trigger recurrent cycles alveolar epithelial cell injury, activation coagulation pathways, chemoattraction, differentiation monocytes into monocyte-derived macrophages (Mo-AMs). When these events happen intermittently repeatedly throughout the individual's life cycle, wound repair process becomes aberrant leading to bronchiolization distal air spaces, fibroblast accumulation, extracellular matrix deposition, loss alveolar-capillary architecture. The role immune dysregulation IPF pathogenesis progression has been underscored past mainly after disappointing immunosuppressant use patients; however, recent reports highlighting prognostic mechanistic roles Mo-AMs revived interest IPF. this review, we will discuss cells onset IPF, as well potential targeted therapies.

Despite their crucial role in health and disease, our knowledge of immune cells within human tissues remains limited. We surveyed the compartment 16 from 12 adult donors by single-cell RNA sequencing VDJ generating a dataset ~360,000 cells. To systematically resolve cell heterogeneity across tissues, we developed CellTypist, machine learning tool for rapid precise type annotation. Using this approach, combined with detailed curation, determined tissue distribution finely phenotyped types, revealing hitherto unappreciated tissue-specific features clonal architecture T B Our multitissue approach lays foundation identifying highly resolved types leveraging common reference dataset, tissue-integrated expression analysis, antigen receptor sequencing.

Macrophages are innate immune cells that form a 3D network in all our tissues, where they phagocytose dying and cell debris, complexes, bacteria other waste products. Simultaneously, produce growth factors signalling molecules — such activities not only promote host protection response to invading microorganisms but also crucial for organ development homeostasis. There is mounting evidence of macrophages orchestrating fundamental physiological processes, as blood vessel formation, adipogenesis, metabolism central peripheral neuronal function. In parallel, novel methodologies have led the characterization tissue-specific macrophages, with distinct subpopulations these showing different developmental trajectories, transcriptional programmes life cycles. Here, we summarize growing knowledge macrophage diversity how subsets orchestrate tissue We further interrelate ontogeny their core functions across is, events within niche may control functionality during development, homeostasis ageing.

Abstract Macrophages represent heterogeneous cell population with important roles in defence mechanisms and homoeostasis. Tissue macrophages from diverse anatomical locations adopt distinct activation states. M1 M2 are two polarized forms of mononuclear phagocyte vitro differentiation phenotypic patterns functional properties, but vivo, there is a wide range different macrophage phenotypes between depending on the microenvironment natural signals they receive. In human infections, pathogens use strategies to combat these include shaping polarization towards one or another phenotype. infiltrating tumours can affect patient’s prognosis. have been shown promote tumour growth, while provide both tumour-promoting anti-tumour properties. autoimmune diseases, prolonged activation, as well altered function contribute their onset activity. atherosclerotic lesions, expressing profiles detected potential factors affecting occurrence cardiovascular diseases. allergic inflammation, T2 cytokines drive profiles, which airway inflammation remodelling. transplantations seem acute rejection, fibrosis graft.

Some patients hospitalized with acute COVID-19 suffer respiratory symptoms that persist for many months. We delineated the immune-proteomic landscape in airways and peripheral blood of healthy controls post-COVID-19 3 to 6 months after hospital discharge. Post-COVID-19 showed abnormal airway (but not plasma) proteomes, an elevated concentration proteins associated apoptosis, tissue repair, epithelial injury versus individuals. Increased numbers cytotoxic lymphocytes were observed individuals greater dysfunction, while increased B cell altered monocyte subsets more widespread lung abnormalities.
