Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with Th1/Th2 cytokine dysregulation, leukocyte extravasation, and tissue edema, but the mechanisms for cytokine-mediated vascular dysfunction are not understood. To investigate how cytokines might control edema in IBD, we determined vascular permeability and IFN-gamma expression in two models of murine colitis: SCID mice reconstituted with CD45RB(high T-lymphocytes (CD45RB(high)/SCID mice), and interleukin-10 gene deficient (IL-10(-/-)) mice. We also investigated the in vitro effects of IFN-gamma and IL-10 on human endothelial solute barrier and junction protein expression. Vascular permeability in CD45RB(high)/SCID and IL-10(-/-) mice was quantified using tissue (131)I-IgG accumulation. The IFN-gamma message was quantified using the ribonuclease protection assay. Endothelial barrier integrity in vitro was measured by transmonolayer electrical resistance, and junctional proteins were examined by immunoblotting and fluorescence microscopy. Both CD45RB(high)/SCID and IL-10(-/-) mice exhibit enhanced colonic microvascular leakage and IFN-gamma message levels compared to their respective controls. In vitro, IFN-gamma also reduced endothelial barrier (monolayer electrical resistance, increased albumin permeability) and reduced tight junction (occludin) expression and staining. These effects were reversed by pretreatment of monolayers with IL-10. Therefore, in vivo IFN-gamma and IL-10 may modulate microvascular leakage in IBD partly by controlling the expression of intestinal endothelial tight junctional proteins.

Systemic administration of a recombinant adenovirus encoding the human interferon-beta gene (H5.110CMVhIFN-beta) results in transduction of hepatocytes and detectable circulating levels of IFN-beta protein. In preclinical studies in mice, we noticed a distinctly nonlinear dose response, with low levels of virus (1-3 x 10(10) viral particles) yielding barely detectable levels of IFN-beta but with a higher viral dose (1 x 10(11) particles) resulting in disproportionately high IFN-beta levels. Further studies showed that transgene expression levels from low viral doses could be dramatically enhanced by coadministering an unrelated recombinant adenovirus (H5.110CMVlacZ), suggesting that there was a viral dose threshold effect for efficient viral transduction and/or IFN-beta expression. This enhancement of reporter expression by a nonreporter adenovirus, effective upon coadministration, was further enhanced by preadministration of H5.110CMVlacZ (up to 8 h), but was ineffective if the helper virus was administered as little as 5 min after the H5.110CMVhIFN-beta reporter virus. Our data suggest that the reticuloendothelial system plays a role in this threshold effect, such that low doses of virus are efficiently taken up by the RES/Kupffer cells without leading to appreciable transgene expression, whereas high doses saturate these cells and are able to productively transduce hepatocytes. A better understanding of this phenomenon could have an impact on gene therapy clinical trial safety and efficacy.

Zhang, Z.-H., Chen, L., Saito, S., Kanagawa, O., and Sendo, F. 2000. Possible modulation by male sex hormone of Th1/Th2 function in protection against Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi AS infection in mice. Experimental Parasitology 96, 121-129. We examined the mortality, survival time, and parasitemia in interferon gamma receptor (IFN-gamma R)-deficient (IFN-gamma R(-/-)) and IL-4-deficient (IL-4(-/-)) mice infected with Plasmodium chabaudi AS and compared them with the wild type counterparts (IFN-gamma R(+/+) and IL-4(+/+), respectively). (1) Mortality was higher and survival time was shorter in males of both IFN-gamma R(-/-) and IL-4(-/-) mice infected with P. chabaudi AS, compared with their wild type counterparts, whereas such a difference was not observed in female mice. (2) These differences between males and females were not observed when male mice were castrated; however, female castration had no effect on the data. (3) The rate of parasitemia in both male and female IFN-gamma R(-/-) and IL-4(-/-) mice was higher at some points during the observation than in the wild type counterparts. (4) These results on susceptibility vs resistance to P. chabaudi AS infection can be explained partially by the levels of expression of Th1/Th2 cytokine and chemokine mRNAs in the spleen cells of the infected mice. These results suggest that male sex hormones modulate the function of Th1/Th2 cells and that these T cells counteract the activity of these hormones in protection against P. chabaudi AS infection in mice. 2000 Academic Press.

Frap-dependent serine phosphorylation of IRS-1 inhibits IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation.

We have previously shown that interferon-alpha (IFN alpha)-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) is impaired by serine phosphorylation of IRS-1 due to the reduced ability of serine phosphorylated IRS-1 to serve as a substrate for Janus kinase 1 (JAK1). Here we report that FKBP12-rapamycin-associated protein (FRAP) is a physiologic IRS-1 kinase that blocks IFN alpha signaling by serine phosphorylating IRS-1. We found that both FRAP and insulin-activated p70 S6 kinase (p70(s6k)) serine phosphorylated IRS-1 between residues 511 and 772 (IRS-1(511-772)). Importantly, only FRAP-dependent IRS-1(511-772) serine phosphorylation inhibited by 50% subsequent JAK1-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1. Furthermore, treatment of U266 cells with the FRAP inhibitor rapamycin increased IFN alpha-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation by twofold while reducing constitutive IRS-1 serine phosphorylation within S/T-P motifs by 80%. Taken together, these data indicate that FRAP, but not p70(s6k), is a likely physiologic IRS-1 serine kinase that negatively regulates JAK1-dependent IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation and suggests that FRAP may modulate IRS-dependent cytokine signaling. 2001 Academic Press.

Geranylgeranylacetone (GGA), an isoprenoid compound, is used clinically as an anti-ulcer drug. Since some isoprenoids including retinoids have anti-tumor and anti-viral activities in a variety of cell types, we investigated whether GGA could induce anti-viral proteins in human hepatoma cells. The HuH-7 and HepG2 cells were treated with GGA, and expression of anti-viral proteins such as 2'5'-oligoadenylate synthetase (2'5'-OAS) and double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) in these cells was analyzed. GGA stimulated 2'5'-OAS and PKR gene expression at the transcriptional level through the formation of interferon-stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3), which regulates both gene transcription. By Western blotting, GGA induced expression of signal transducers and activators of transcription 1, 2 (STAT1, STAT2) and p48 proteins, components of ISGF3, together with the phosphorylation of STAT1. These results suggest that GGA acts as a potent inducer of anti-viral gene expression by stimulating the ISGF3 formation in human hepatoma cells. 2001 Academic Press.

Prescription drugs, surgical hair transplantation, topical application of various oils or creams... Also prayer and wishing...
Hair Million is an alternative approach to hair loss problems.
Anecdotes and personal experiences testify that it works. Hair Million shows positive results and improvement for age-related
hair thinning and hair loss for a large fraction of people who take it.
How does it work? Good question. The molecular biological or clinical mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million exactly works
to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth is completely unknown.
The only evidences for the effecacy of Hair Million on hair growth are only anedotal and based on personal experiences.
There has been no clinical trials or placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth.
That's enough for many people. Also, there are two merits in the hair restoration herbal formula:
Firstly, HairMillion is comparatively inexpensive, and secondly, it is made only of herbs
that are known to be safe when consumed in regular quantities. Herbs in Hair Million are also known for cardiotonic effects, meaning
that the herbs will make your heart stronger.
DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands.
DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones)
or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
