Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is expressed abnormally on the bile duct epithelium during the course of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), but the importance of ICAM-1 and its lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) receptor during the course of nonsuppurative destructive cholangitis (NSDC) has not been defined. To address this question, we defined the relationship between ICAM-1 on the intrahepatic bile duct epithelium and the evolution of NSDC lesions in a mouse graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) model. We also determined the effects of anti-ICAM-1 and anti-LFA-1 treatments on NSDC, intrahepatic lymphokine production, and the homing of lymphocytes to the livers of GVHD mice. ICAM-1 was initially detected on the bile duct epithelium and portal vein endothelium on day 7 of GVHD. There was a significant positive correlation between the intensity of ICAM-1 staining and histological bile duct damage (r =.58, P <.05) between day 3 and 28. Treatment with anti-ICAM-1 (but not anti-LFA-1) decreased both the mean grades of portal inflammation (P =.003) and NSDC (P =.002) lesions compared with control immunoglobulin G (IgG) treatments. Combined treatment with anti-ICAM-1 and anti-LFA-1 caused a further decrease in the amount of portal inflammation and bile duct damage compared with anti-ICAM-1, alone (P =.02). Anti-ICAM-1 treatment also decreased both the percentage of T cells and the production of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-12 in the liver (P <.01), but had no effect on IL-4, IL-10, and interferon gamma. Neither anti-ICAM-1 nor anti-LFA-1 prevented lymphocytes from homing to the liver. These results indicate that both ICAM-1 and LFA-1 are important to the pathogenesis of NSDC.

Cytokines are powerful regulators of the immune response. In this study, an HIV-1 envelope DNA vaccine and interleukin 15 (IL-15) expression plasmid were intranasally administered to mice. A significant increase in the HIV-1-specific DTH response and CTL activity, and decrease in the serum IgG/IgG2a ratio was observed in the group which received DNA vaccine and IL-15 expression plasmid compared to DNA vaccination alone. Restimulated immune lymphoid cells from mice which received both agents showed enhanced production of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and reduced secretion of IL-4. However, administration of DNA vaccine with IL-15 and IL-2 or IL-12 expression plasmids did not alter the effect of IL-15 expression plasmid on the DNA vaccine. These results indicate that intranasal administration of DNA vaccine and IL-15 expression plasmid is capable of enhancing the T helper type 1 (Th1) dependent HIV-1-specific cell-mediated immunity, and that the IL-15 and IL-2 or IL-12 expression plasmids may not have a synergistic effect on the immune response induced by DNA vaccine in vivo.

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of feeding mice a diet rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) from fish oil on the interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) production during the early stage of an infectious challenge with Listeria monocytogenes. Weanling female C3H/HeN mice were fed AIN-93G experimental diets containing 20%, by weight one of three fat sources: lard (low PUFA), soybean oil (n-6 PUFA) or a mixture (9:1) of menhaden fish oil and corn oil (n-3 PUFA). After 4 weeks, mice were injected intraperitoneally with 10(5) Listeria monocytogenes and the concentration of IL-12(p70) and IFNgamma in serum was determined 24 h post-infection by ELISA. IL-12p35, IL-12p40 mRNA, and IFNgamma mRNA in the spleen were quantified by RNase protection assay. The number of IFNgamma-producing cells in the spleen was determined by flow cytometry using an intracellular staining procedure. We found that n-3 PUFA-fed mice had lower levels of circulating IL-12 at 24 h post-infection than n-6 PUFA- or low PUFA-fed mice (9.7+/-3.4 pg/ml vs. 61.6+/-10.6, and 44.4+/-12.5 pg/ml, respectively; P=0.002, n = 10/trt). The level of IL-12 p35 mRNA did not significantly differ among dietary treatment groups. However, IL-12p40 mRNA was significantly lower in n-3 PUFA- and n-6 PUFA-fed mice compared to low-PUFA-fed mice. Further, the n-3 PUFA group also had the lowest circulating IFNgamma (4.4+/-1.8 ng/ml vs. 9.1+/-1.0, and 9.7+/-2.1 ng/ml, respectively; P = 0.007. n = 8-10/trt). The n-3 PUFA-fed mice had significantly lower IFNgamma mRNA in their spleens compared to the mice fed the other fat sources. In agreement with having lower circulating IFNgamma and lower splenic IFNgamma mRNA, n-3 PUFA-fed mice had a significantly lower percentage of IFNgamma-producing cells in their spleens compared with the n-6 PUFA-fed group (2.1+/-0.6 vs. 4.2+/-0.7%; P = 0.037, n = 10/trt). In summary, feeding mice a diet rich in n-3 PUFA from fish oil significantly lowered the production of both IL-12 and IFNgamma during the early phase of a Listeria infection.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine whether the efficacy of the combination of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), leucovorin (LV) and radiation therapy (RT) could be improved by the addition of interferon-alpha2b (IFN-alpha) in patients who have had a 'curative' resection, for rectal adenocarcinoma (Dukes' B(2)/C; T3 N0, T4 N0, N1-3). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 207 eligible patients with a performance status of 0 or 1 were randomized postoperatively between days 21 and 70 to one of the two treatment groups: group A, LV 20 mg/m(2) i.v. bolus and 5-FU 425 mg/m(2) i.v. days 1-5 and 29-33, LV 20 mg/m(2) and 5-FU 400 mg/m(2) days 57-60 and 85-88, LV 20 mg/m(2) and 5-FU 380 mg/m(2) days 1-5 and 29-33 with the second day 1 occurring 28 days after the completion of RT (45 Gy); group B, LV, 5-FU and RT as in group A, and IFN-alpha 5 x 10(6) IU s.c. three times during each week chemotherapy is given. RESULTS: 104 patients were randomized into group A and 103 into group B. There was no statistically significant difference in either disease-free survival or overall survival between the two groups. Toxicity was also the same, except for the flu-like syndrome associated with the IFN-alpha administration. CONCLUSIONS: There was no difference in efficacy between the two combinations. Toxicity was greater with the LV + 5-FU + IFN-alpha regimen because of the flu-like syndrome.

The CXC-chemokine, H174: expression in the central nervous system.

H174 is a new member of the CXC-chemokine family. A cDNA probe containing the entire H174 coding region recognized a predominant inducible transcript of approximately 1.5 kb expressed in interferon (IFN) activated astrocytoma and monocytic cell lines. H174 message can be induced following IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, or IFN-gamma stimulation. H174 message was also detected in IFN treated cultures of primary human astrocytes, but was absent in unstimulated astrocytes. H174, like IP10 and Mig, lacks the ELR sequence associated with the neutrophil specificity characteristic of most CXC-chemokines. Preliminary experiments suggest H174, IP10 and Mig are independently regulated. Recombinant H174 is a weak chemoattractant for monocyte-like cells. H174 can also stimulate calcium flux responses. The data support the classification of H174 as a member of a subfamily of interferon-gamma inducible non-ELR CXC-chemokines. Brain tissues were obtained at autopsy from one patient with AIDS dementia, one patient with multiple sclerosis, and two normal control patients. H174 and Mig were detected by RT-PCR in brain tissue cDNA derived from the patients with pathological conditions associated with activated astrocytes but not in cDNA from control specimens.

Hair growth is a sophisticated biological process, which is still not thoroughly understood. A multitude of therapeutic measures, including drugs, surgery, and suppelements have been made available, and used. However, due to the diversity of the problems underlying hair loss, there is no single solution for all hair loss cases. Most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are not free from varying degrees of undesirable side effects on health.

Hair Million is an alternative solution to cope with hair loss problems. Anecdotally, it shows prositive results and improvement especially for age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a fraction of people who take it. We do not know the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth. We only know by anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth.
