doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2026.117627

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic illustration of the role of SUR1 in ALI and the protective mechanism of glibenclamide TNF-α binds to its receptor (TNFR), activating the NF-κB pathway and promoting inflammation through increased transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α). In parallel, TNF-α induces mitochondrial dysfunction and ROS production, leading to DNA strand breaks. In response to DNA damage, nuclear PARP1 is activated to recruit DNA repair enzymes, promoting cell survival. Left, SUR1 interacts with and sequesters PARP1, impairing DNA damage repair. Accumulated DNA damage amplifies ROS production and NF-κB activation, which in turn further increases the transcription of inflammatory cytokines. This creates a positive feedback loop that promotes epithelial cell apoptosis and inflammation, contributing to ALI progression. Right, glibenclamide binds to SUR1 and disrupts the SUR1-PARP1 interaction, releasing PARP1 to restore DNA damage repair. This intervention breaks the pathological feedback loop by reducing ROS production, NF-κB activation, and inflammatory cytokine expression, thereby suppressing apoptosis and inflammation in epithelial cells and ultimately protecting against ALI.

doi: 10.3892/mmr.2026.13878

Figure Lengend Snippet: Summary graphic illustration. This illustration summarizes the proposed model during pituitary adenoma invasion. The tumor invasive front abuts an intact sphenoid sinus mucosa, forming a distinct boundary. The mucosal compartment is enriched for ionised calcium binding adaptor molecule 1-positive macrophages with an M1-like predominance and IgG-high B cells. B cell-derived IgG promotes M2-to-M1 macrophage reprogramming, while coordinated IFN-γ and IL-6 production establishes a tumor-suppressive cytokine gradient that decreases from mucosa toward the tumor core, constraining proliferation and migration via JAK-STAT1 activation. Therapeutically, anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody blocks the CD47-SIRPα ‘don't-eat-me’ axis and augments antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis, highlighting a strategy for immune checkpoint-targeted therapy that may complement surgical management.
