    PIEZO1-dependent epithelial signaling regulates MMT via PKA/NF-κB <t>P65</t> pathway. A Western blotting was performed to detect the phosphorylation level of AKT, ERK1/2, CREB, PKA and NF-κB P65 in THP-1 macrophages with CM for 24h (n = 5). P values were calculated using Student’s t-test. B Immunofluorescence showing the expression of CD68 + p-PKA + cells or CD68 + p-NF-κB P65 + cells in colonic mucosa between healthy controls and CD patients (n = 4). P values were calculated using Student’s t-test. C Endogenous interaction between PKA and NF-κB P65 in THP-1 macrophages. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) analysis demonstrating the physical association between PKA and P65. THP-1 macrophages were stimulated with CM from Caco-2 transfected with either shCTL or shPIEZO1. Lysates were immunoprecipitated (IP) with anti-PKA antibodies or an IgG isotype control, followed by immunoblotting (IB) with anti-PKA and anti-P65 antibodies. The presence of P65 in the PKA-IP fraction confirms the formation of the PKA/P65 complex. GAPDH was used as the loading control for Input lysates. D THP-1 macrophages were treated with CM derived from Caco-2-shCTL cells at 50% or 100% confluence (denoted as 50 and 100). For the 100 condition, cells were further transfected with siNC or siP65 as indicated. The protein expression of α-SMA, COL1A2 and NF-κB P65 were analyzed by Western blotting (n = 5). P values were calculated using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. E THP-1 macrophages were treated with CM derived from Caco-2-shCTL cells at 50% or 100% confluence (denoted as 50 and 100). For the 100 condition, cells were further treated with the PKA inhibitor H-89 or NF-κB activator 1(activator-1), either alone or in combination, as indicated. Western blotting detected the expression of α-SMA, COL1A2 and the phosphorylation level of PKA and NF-κB P65 (n = 5). P values were calculated using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Data are represented as mean ± SD, ****P<0.0001, ***P<0.001, **P<0.01, *P<0.05. Scale bar =50 μm.

Data are presented as individual data points (scatter plot) with the mean ± SEM; n = 3; * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001 versus the control group; # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01, ### P < 0.001 versus cytokine group (One-way ANOVA).

    Hypothesized Model of Randall’s Plaque Formation. a, In a high-calcium renal environment, activated macrophages and inflammasomes release pro-inflammatory cytokines, activating signaling pathways such as MAPK, NF-κB, and Smad in renal tubular cells. b, These signaling pathways upregulate proteins involved in osteogenesis, such as Runx2, ALP, OPG, and OPN, and result in an osteogenic transition. c, Calcium-enriched and osteogenesis-related protein-enriched vesicles are released from the basal side of tubule epithelial cells. Osteogenesis-related proteins directly promote the nucleation, growth and aggregation of CaP crystals in these vesicles. d, CaP aggregates-enriched vesicles move to the renal interstitium, calcifying the interstitial collagen, and eventually leading to the formation of Randall’s plaque in the renal papillae.

    A proposed model illustrating the exosome-mediated lncRNA OTUD6B-AS1/miR-128/Notch2 axis in aggravating endometritis. Upon LPS-induced damage, endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) release increased exosomes carrying elevated levels of lncRNA OTUD6B-AS1. These exosomes are taken up by endometrial macrophages. The transferred lncRNA OTUD6B-AS1 acts as a molecular sponge to sequester miR-128, leading to the derepression and upregulation of its target gene, Notch2. The enhanced Notch2 signaling subsequently promotes macrophage polarization towards a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype, characterized by increased NF-κB activation and iNOS expression, thereby exacerbating endometrial inflammation and tissue damage.

    PIEZO1-dependent epithelial signaling regulates MMT via PKA/NF-κB P65 pathway. A Western blotting was performed to detect the phosphorylation level of AKT, ERK1/2, CREB, PKA and NF-κB P65 in THP-1 macrophages with CM for 24h (n = 5). P values were calculated using Student’s t-test. B Immunofluorescence showing the expression of CD68 + p-PKA + cells or CD68 + p-NF-κB P65 + cells in colonic mucosa between healthy controls and CD patients (n = 4). P values were calculated using Student’s t-test. C Endogenous interaction between PKA and NF-κB P65 in THP-1 macrophages. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) analysis demonstrating the physical association between PKA and P65. THP-1 macrophages were stimulated with CM from Caco-2 transfected with either shCTL or shPIEZO1. Lysates were immunoprecipitated (IP) with anti-PKA antibodies or an IgG isotype control, followed by immunoblotting (IB) with anti-PKA and anti-P65 antibodies. The presence of P65 in the PKA-IP fraction confirms the formation of the PKA/P65 complex. GAPDH was used as the loading control for Input lysates. D THP-1 macrophages were treated with CM derived from Caco-2-shCTL cells at 50% or 100% confluence (denoted as 50 and 100). For the 100 condition, cells were further transfected with siNC or siP65 as indicated. The protein expression of α-SMA, COL1A2 and NF-κB P65 were analyzed by Western blotting (n = 5). P values were calculated using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. E THP-1 macrophages were treated with CM derived from Caco-2-shCTL cells at 50% or 100% confluence (denoted as 50 and 100). For the 100 condition, cells were further treated with the PKA inhibitor H-89 or NF-κB activator 1(activator-1), either alone or in combination, as indicated. Western blotting detected the expression of α-SMA, COL1A2 and the phosphorylation level of PKA and NF-κB P65 (n = 5). P values were calculated using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Data are represented as mean ± SD, ****P<0.0001, ***P<0.001, **P<0.01, *P<0.05. Scale bar =50 μm.
