We tested the postulate that 1) a fulvic acid (FA)-like substance is included in cigarette smoke and wood smoke particles and 2) exposure of respiratory epithelial cells to this substance results in a disruption of iron homeostasis associated with both a cell deficiency of the metal and inflammatory response. It was concluded that 1) FA-like substance is included in cigarette smoke and wood smoke particle and 2) respiratory epithelial cell exposure to this substance results in a disruption of iron homeostasis associated with both a cell deficiency of the metal and inflammatory response. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Gonzalez, D., J. Soukup, M. Madden, M. Hays, J. Berntsen, S. Paulson, and A. Ghio.

Migratory shorebirds (Charadrii) show a strong dichotomy in their breeding and wintering strategies: Arctic-breeding species typically spend the wintering season in marine habitats, while more southerly breeding species tend to do so in freshwater habitats where pathogens and parasites, particularly vector-borne blood parasites, are generally more abundant. Thus, it has been hypothesized that the former group may reduce their investment in immunity, but experimental data supporting this hypothesis are lacking. Moreover, whether this contrasting habitat selection can shape investments in immunocompetence among populations within a species is uncertain. We experimentally tested the hypothesis that there is a significant association between habitat occupancy and the strength of a pro-inflammatory immune response in Dunlins Calidris alpina, a widely distributed long-distance migratory shorebird that breeds in (sub-)arctic areas and winters mainly, but not exclusively, in coastal habitats. Overwintering Dunlins occupying inland freshwater and marine habitats at a similar latitude were captured and acclimated under identical conditions in outdoor aviaries. After an acclimation period, they were challenged with phytohemagglutinin to assess the pro-inflammatory immune response and its associated energetic costs, measured by basal metabolic rate (BMR) and body mass changes. We found that freshwater Dunlins exhibited a higher (63%) pro-inflammatory immune response than marine Dunlins. Although this difference did not involve significant BMR changes, the time course of body mass response differed between freshwater and marine individuals. Our findings point to the existence of different pro-inflammatory immune and energetic strategies associated to the wintering habitat. These intraspecific differences are likely due to population adaptation rather than phenotypic plasticity, where not only disease risk but also physiological adaptations to different salinity levels could play an important role. This is the raw data of the PHA response, BMR and body mass of dunlins captured in freshwater and marine habitats and maintained in captivity under a freshwater regime.

Many amateur athletes believe that using a professional athlete's equipment can improve their performance. Such equipment can be said to be affected with positive contagion, which refers to the belief of transference of beneficial properties between animate persons/objects to previously neutral objects. In this experiment, positive contagion was induced by telling participants in one group that a putter previously belonged to a professional golfer. The effect of positive contagion was examined for perception and performance in a golf putting task. Individuals who believed they were using the professional golfer's putter perceived the size of the golf hole to be larger than golfers without such a belief and also had better performance, sinking more putts. These results provide empirical support for anecdotes, which allege that using objects with positive contagion can improve performance, and further suggest perception can be modulated by positive contagion.

Excessive activation and recruitment of neutrophils are generally considered to be associated with pathological aggravation of multiple diseases. However, as the role of neutrophils in tissue injury repair is receiving increasing attention, it is necessary to further explore the beneficial role of activated neutrophils in promoting the resolution of inflammation after injury. In this study, we found that activated neutrophils have a crucial function in suppressing liver inflammation. In methionine-choline-deficient and high-fat (MCDHF) diet induced liver inflammation in mice, tail vein injection of activated neutrophils (A-Neu, stimulated by sphingosine 1-phosphate) inhibited the expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the liver, including C-C chemokine motif ligand 4, tumor necrosis factor and nitric oxide synthase 2, and attenuated liver injury. However, non-activated neutrophils (N-Neu) did not have these effects. In vitro, pro-inflammatory macrophages were co-cultured with N-Neu or A-Neu by transwell, respectively. A-Neu was found to suppress the pro-inflammatory phenotype of macrophages by using RT-qPCR, western blot and cytometric bead array. Microarray analysis showed that there were systematic variations in transcript expression levels between N-Neu and A-Neu. GeneVenn software was used to show the gene expression overlap between GO terms including Regulation of Cell Communication, Cytokine Secretion, Inflammatory Response and Extracellular Space clusters. We identified that Chitinase-like 1 (CHIL1) secreted by S1P activated neutrophils may be an important mediators affecting the pro-inflammatory macrophage responses. In the injured liver of mice induced by MCDHF diet, the expression of Chil1 mRNA increased and was positively correlated with the neutrophil marker Ly6g. Moreover, the secretion of CHIL1 in A-Neu increased significantly. Strikingly, the effect of A-Neu on macrophage response was reproduced by incubating pro-inflammatory macrophages with recombinant CHIL1. A-Neu conditioned medium were incubated with CHIL1 antibody-conjugated protein G beads, magnetically separated to immunodepletion CHIL1 from the A-Neu supernatant, which can partially weaken its inhibitory effect of A-Neu on the production of macrophage pro-inflammatory cytokines. Together, the conclusions indicated that A-Neu could inhibit the pro-inflammatory macrophage responses by secreting CHIL1, thereby effectively inhibiting liver inflammation.

BackgroundWhile all efforts have been undertaken to propagate the vaccination and develop remedies against SARS-CoV-2, no satisfactory management of this infection is available yet. Moreover, poor availability of any preventive and treatment measures of SARS-CoV-2 in economically disadvantageous communities aggravates the course of the pandemic. Here, we studied a new immunomodulatory phytotherapy (IP), an extract of blackberry, chamomile, garlic, cloves, and elderberry as a potential low-cost solution for these problems given the reported efficacy of herbal medicine during the previous SARS virus outbreak.MethodsThe key feature of SARS-CoV-2 infection, excessive inflammation, was studied in in vitro and in vivo assays under the application of the IP. First, changes in tumor-necrosis factor (TNF) and lnteurleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) concentrations were measured in a culture of human macrophages following the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge and treatment with IP or prednisolone. Second, chronically IP-pre-treated CD-1 mice received an agonist of Toll-like receptors (TLR)-7/8 resiquimod and were examined for lung and spleen expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and blood formula. Finally, chronically IP-pre-treated mice challenged with LPS injection were studied for “sickness” behavior. Additionally, the IP was analyzed using high-potency-liquid chromatography (HPLC)-high-resolution-mass-spectrometry (HRMS).ResultsLPS-induced in vitro release of TNF and IL-1β was reduced by both treatments. The IP-treated mice displayed blunted over-expression of SAA-2, ACE-2, CXCL1, and CXCL10 and decreased changes in blood formula in response to an injection with resiquimod. The IP-treated mice injected with LPS showed normalized locomotion, anxiety, and exploration behaviors but not abnormal forced swimming. Isoquercitrin, choline, leucine, chlorogenic acid, and other constituents were identified by HPLC-HRMS and likely underlie the IP immunomodulatory effects.ConclusionsHerbal IP-therapy decreases inflammation and, partly, “sickness behavior,” suggesting its potency to combat SARS-CoV-2 infection first of all via its preventive effects.
