Persistent neutrophilic inflammation drives host damage in autoimmune diseases that are characterized by abundant immune complexes. Insoluble immune complexes (iICs) potently activate pro-inflammatory neutrophil effector functions. We and others have shown that iICs also promote resolution of inflammation via stimulation of neutrophil apoptosis. We demonstrate here that iICs trigger FcγRIIa-dependent neutrophil macropinocytosis, leading to the rapid uptake, and subsequent degradation of iICs. We provide evidence that concurrent iIC-induced neutrophil apoptosis is distinct from phagocytosis-induced cell death. First, uptake of iICs occurs by FcγRII-stimulated macropinocytosis, rather than phagocytosis. Second, production of reactive oxygen species, but not iIC-internalization is a pre-requisite for iIC-induced neutrophil apoptosis. Our findings identify a previously unknown mechanism by which neutrophils can remove pro-inflammatory iICs from the circulation. Together iIC clearance and iIC-induced neutrophil apoptosis may act to prevent the potential escalation of neutrophilic inflammation in response to iICs.The innate and adaptive immune cells have complex signaling pathways for sensing and initiating immune responses against disease. These pathways are interrupted at different levels to occur immune evasion, including by N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. In this review, we discuss studies revealing the immune evasion mechanism by m6A modification, which underlies the retouching of these signaling networks and the rapid tolerance of innate and adaptive immune molecules during disease. We also focus on the functions of m6A in main chemokines regulation, and their roles in promotive and suppressive immune cell recruitment. We then discuss some of the current challenges in the field and describe future directions for the immunological mechanisms of m6A modification.Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common high-grade intracranial malignant tumor with highly malignant biological behavior and a high recurrence rate. Although anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies have achieved significant survival benefits in several kinds of solid tumors, the phase III clinical trial Checkmate 143 demonstrated that nivolumab, which targets PD-1, did not achieve survival benefits compared with bevacizumab in recurrent glioblastoma (rGB) patients. Nevertheless, neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy followed by surgery and adjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy could effectively activate local and systemic immune responses and significantly improve the OS of rGB patients. Furthermore, several studies have also confirmed the progress made in applying tumor-specific peptide vaccination or chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cell therapy to treat rGB patients, and successes with antibodies targeting other inhibitory checkpoints or costimulatory molecules have also been reported. These successes inspired us to explore candidate combination treatments based on anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies. However, effective predictive biomarkers for clinical efficacy are urgently needed to avoid economic waste and treatment delay. Attempts to prolong the CAR-T cell lifespan and increase T cell infiltration through engineering techniques are addressing the challenge of strengthening T cell function. In this review, we describe the immunosuppressive molecular characteristics of rGB; clinical trials exploring anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, tumor-specific peptide vaccination, and CAR-T cell therapy; candidate combination strategies; and issues related to strengthening T cell function.Hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in otolaryngology head and neck surgery and is one of the worst prognostic malignant tumors. Endogenous circular RNA (circRNA) is more stable than mRNA, microRNA (miRNA), and long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) in exosomes, plasma, and urine, and participates in gene expression regulation to perform different functions. Therefore, circRNA is expected to become a biomarker and therapy target for many tumors. However, the expression and function of circRNA regulated by N6-methyladenosine (m6A) are still unclear in HNSCC. In this study, we demonstrated that a specific circRNA, circCUX1, was upregulated in HPSCC patients who are resistant to radiotherapy and predicts poor survival outcome. We further found that methyltransferase like 3 (METTL3) mediated the m6A methylation of circCUX1 and stabilizes its expression. Knockdown circCUX1 promotes the sensitivity of hypopharyngeal cancer cells to radiotherapy. In addition, circCUX1 binds to Caspase1 and inhibits its expression, resulting in a decrease in the release of inflammatory factors, thereby developing tolerance to radiotherapy. Our findings indicate that circCUX1 is a potential therapeutic target for radiotherapy tolerance in HPSCC patients.PU.1 (encoded by SPI1) is essential for myeloid development, and inhibition of its expression and activity can lead to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). this website The precise regulation of PU.1 expression is crucial for the development of AML, and the discovery of circular RNAs (circRNAs) can add a new layer of information on regulation. Here, we found that circSPI1, the circular RNA derived from the SPI1 gene, is highly expressed in AML but not in normal counterparts. Unlike SPI1, a tumor suppressor and being lowly expressed in AML, we demonstrate that circSPI1 acts as an oncogene, evidenced by the observation that circSPI1 knockdown induces myeloid differentiation and apoptosis of AML cells. We provide mechanistic evidence for multiple regulatory roles of circSPI1 in AML progression. On one hand, circSPI1 contributes to myeloid differentiation of AML cells by interacting with the translation initiation factor eIF4AIII to antagonize PU.1 expression at the translation level. On the other hand, circSPI1 contributes to proliferation and apoptosis by interacting with miR-1307-3p, miR-382-5p, and miR-767-5p; this role is uncoupled with SPI1. Finally, we illustrate the clinical significance of circSPI1 by showing that circSPI1-regulated genes are associated with the clinical outcome of AML patients. Our data provide new insight into the complex SPI1 gene regulation now involving circSPI1.
