Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an irreversible and devastating lung disease with unknown causes and a median survival of only 3-4 years post-diagnosis. Current IPF drugs are unable to provide disease resolution. Thus, further understanding of the molecular mechanisms of IPF is critical for developing effective therapeutics. ISM1 is highly expressed in the mouse lung with anti-inflammatory function. However, its role in pulmonary fibrosis remains unclear. Using a bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis model in mice, this study reveals that ISM1 deficiency results in heightened pulmonary fibrosis along with increased cellular senescence in type II alveolar epithelial cells and lung fibroblasts. Ism1^-/- lung also showed delayed resolution of pulmonary fibrosis with reduced lipofibroblasts and downregulation of lipid synthesis-related genes. As the Ism1 gene is similarly dysregulated in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice and human IPF patients, this work reveals that further investigation of ISM1 for IPF is warranted.

5. TLR5 expression marks brain boarder associated macrophages and protects neonatal mice from bacterial meningitis

通讯作者：李颜、侯亚义、张炜

文章报导了在围产期及新生小鼠中，脑膜巨噬细胞而非脑实质神经小胶质细胞高表达细菌鞭毛蛋白特异性受体TLR5。研究还探索了TLR5激活对抗新生小鼠细菌性脑膜炎感染的影响。神经系统相关的巨噬细胞在特定区域表达功能性蛋白，可能是神经系统在执行免疫防御并避免中枢过度激活损伤时的适应机制。这项研究为探索神经系统巨噬细胞功能性分区提供了启示。
