Water extract of medicinal ink (WEMI) attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced NO production of Raw264.7 cells via downregulating JAK2/STAT3-mediated iNOS expression

Zhi-Hu Lin et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that water extract of medical ink (WEMI) had no cytotoxic effect on murine macrophage Raw264.7 cells and slightly rescued LPS-suppressed cell viability. WEMI did not induce NO production or IL-6 secretion, but significantly induced secretion of TNF-alpha. Additionally, WEMI effectively reduced LPS-induced NO production.

Emerging role of natural products in cancer immunotherapy

Songtao Dong et al.

Summary: Cancer immunotherapy is a promising anti-tumor treatment that can be enhanced by natural products such as saponins, polysaccharides, and flavonoids. These natural products have shown significant effects in reversing the tumor-immunosuppressive microenvironment, which is crucial for the success of cancer immunotherapy.

Ganoderma atrum polysaccharide modulates the M1/M2 polarization of macrophages linked to the Notch signaling pathway

Teng Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of Ganoderma atrum polysaccharide (PSG-1) on macrophage polarization and explored the associated molecular mechanisms. The results showed that PSG-1 could modify the behavior of macrophage polarization by reducing CD80 expression in M1 macrophages and attenuating CD23 expression in M2 macrophages. PSG-1 modulated macrophage polarization through controlling phagocytosis, reactive oxygen species generation, NO and cytokines. The Notch signaling pathway partly mediated the effects of PSG-1 on macrophage polarization.

NK cell-based cancer immunotherapy: from basic biology to clinical development

Sizhe Liu et al.

Summary: NK cells, as a specialized immune effector cell type, play a critical role in immune activation against abnormal cells. Unlike T cell activation, NK cell activation is governed by interactions between NK receptors and target cells, leading to significant attention in cancer immunotherapy. Many efforts are focused on developing and engineering NK cell-based cancer immunotherapy.
