Figure Lengend Snippet: cfDNA promotes the polarization of macrophages towards the M1 phenotype by activating the TLR9-MyD88 and cGAS-STING pathways (A- D) CpG DNA treatment increased the protein levels of IL-1α, TNF-α, and IL-6. RAW264.7 cells were treated with 1 μg mL -1 CpG DNA for 24 h and then subjected to western blotting (A). IL-1α (B), TNF-α (C), and IL-6 (D) levels were normalized to the β-actin level in each sample, and the normalized values were used for statistical analysis, n = 4. (E-F) CpG DNA treatment significantly enhanced CD86 expression in macrophages. RAW264.7 cells were treated with 1 μg mL -1 CpG DNA for 24 h, then immunostained with an anti-CD86 antibody (green) and DAPI (blue, nuclei), and imaged by fluorescence microscopy. Representative images (E) and quantitative fluorescence graph (F) are shown, n = 6. Scale bar: 50 μm. (G-J) CpG DNA treatment significantly upregulated the expression of key proteins associated with the TLR9-MyD88 and cGAS-STING pathways. RAW264.7 cells were treated with 1 μg mL -1 CpG DNA for 24 h and then subjected to western blotting, n = 8/4(G, I). STING, cGAS, TLR9, and MyD88 levels were normalized to the β-actin level in each sample. p-NF-κB, p-IκB, p-TBK1, and p-IRF3 levels were normalized to their respective total protein levels (NF-κB, IκB, TBK1, and IRF3) in each sample. These normalized values were then used for statistical analysis, n = 8/4(H, J). For (B-D, F, H, J), error bars represent mean ± standard deviation. P values were calculated using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (B-D, F, H, J). *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001; ns, not significant.(For interpretation of the references to color in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the Web version of this article.)

Figure Lengend Snippet: RBC-MBs promotes the polarization of macrophages towards the M2 phenotype by inhibiting the TLR9-MyD88 and cGAS-STING pathways (A-F) RBC-MB treatment significantly attenuated CpG DNA-induced upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (A-B), key proteins in the TLR9-MyD88 (C-D) and cGAS-STING (E-F) pathways. RAW264.7 cells were treated with 1 μg mL -1 CpG DNA for 24 h, followed by incubation with 0.5 mL RBC-MBs (concentration: 1 × 10 8 particles mL -1 ) for 24 h, and then subjected to western blot analysis (A, C, E). IL-1α, TNF-α, IL-6, TLR9, MyD88, STING, and cGAS levels were normalized to the β-actin level in each sample. p-NF-κB, p-TBK1, and p-IRF3 levels were normalized to their respective total protein levels (NF-κB, TBK1, and IRF3) in each sample. These normalized values were then used for statistical analysis (B, D, F), n = 6. (G) RBC-MB treatment significantly attenuated CpG DNA-induced upregulation of CD86 in macrophages. RAW264.7 cells were treated with 1 μg mL -1 CpG DNA for 24 h, followed by incubation with 0.5 mL RBC-MBs (concentration: 1 × 10 8 particles mL -1 ) for 24 h, then immunostained with an anti-CD86 antibody (green) and DAPI (blue, nuclei), and imaged by fluorescence microscopy. Representative images (left panel) and quantitative fluorescence graph (right panel) are shown. Scale bar: 50 μm, n = 6. (H-J) RBC-MB treatment significantly inhibited hepatic IRI-induced polarization of macrophages toward the M1 phenotype (H) and activation of the TLR9-MyD88 and cGAS-STING pathways (I-J). MASLD rats underwent 45 min of hepatic ischemia followed by reperfusion. At 0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 h post-reperfusion, the rats were treated with either Con-MBs or RBC-MBs. Primary macrophages were isolated from rat livers, then co-stained with CD68 and CD163 followed by flow cytometric analysis (H), n = 3/4, or subjected to western blotting (I-J). CD206, iNOS, TLR9, MyD88, STING, and cGAS levels were normalized to the β-actin level in each sample, and these normalized values were used for statistical analysis (J), n = 3. For (B, D, F, G right panel , H right panel , J), error bars represent mean ± standard deviation. P values were calculated using the unpaired Student's t-test (B, D, F, G right panel ) or one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (H right panel , J). *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001; ns, not significant.(For interpretation of the references to color in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the Web version of this article.)
