We previously isolated a rheumatoid arthritis-related antigen (RA-A47) protein that had reactivity with RA sera from a human chondrosarcoma-derived chondrocytic cell line, HCS-2/8. Sequencing analysis of ra-a47 cDNA revealed RA-A47 as a product of the colligin-2 gene, which is also known as the human heat shock protein (HSP) 47 gene. Expression of hsp47 has been shown to be cooperatively altered with that of collagen genes upon stimulation. In this study, it was confirmed that the mRNA expression of ra-a47 and COL2A1, a type II collagen gene, was upregulated on stimulation with transforming growth factor (TGF) beta in chondrocytes. However, in contrast, inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha, interferon (IFN) beta, and interleukin (IL)-6 downregulated the expression of ra-a47 mRNA, whereas the expression of COL2A1 mRNA was not repressed, or even upregulated, in HCS-2/8 cells. Of note, inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 mRNAs were strongly stimulated by TNFalpha. We also found that cell-surface type II collagen disappeared upon such a stimulation, suggesting that decrement of RA-A47 may inhibit the secretion of type II collagen and lead to its accumulation inside the cells. RA-A47 was detected in the cultured medium of TNFalpha-treated HCS-2/8 cells and of IL-1-treated rabbit chondrocytes by Western blot analysis. Under the same conditions, RA-A47 was detected on the cell surface by immunofluorescence staining. These findings demonstrate that the RA-A47 chaperone protein is specifically downregulated, causing the intracellular accumulation of unsecretable type II collagen, while the extracellular matrix (ECM) is degraded by MMPs and iNOS through the stimulation of chondrocytes by TNFalpha. The altered localization of RA-A47 to the surface or outside of cells may represent the mechanism for the recognition of RA-A47 as an autoantigen during rheumatoid arthritis. 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Phagocytosis of apoptotic inflammatory cells by microglia and modulation by different cytokines: mechanism for removal of apoptotic cells in the inflamed nervous system.

Apoptosis of autoaggressive T cells in the central nervous system (CNS) is an effective, nonphlogistic mechanism for the termination of autoimmune inflammation in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). The clearance of apoptotic leukocytes by tissue-specific phagocytes is a critical event in the resolution of the inflammatory attack. To investigate the role of microglia in the removal of apoptotic cells and potential regulatory mechanisms of microglial phagocytosis, an in vitro phagocytosis assay was established, using Lewis rat microglia. Microglia exhibited a high capacity for the uptake of apoptotic autologous thymocytes, as well as apoptotic encephalitogenic myelin basic protein (MBP)-specific T cells, in contrast to nonapoptotic target cells. Pretreatment of microglia with interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) raised the proportion of microglia capable of phagocytosing apoptotic cells to 75% above the untreated controls. The increased phagocytic activity was selective for apoptotic target cells and was not dependent on phosphatidylserine-mediated recognition mechanisms. In contrast, preincubation of microglia with interleukin-4 (IL-4) inhibited the uptake of apoptotic cells, whereas tumor-necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) did not alter phagocytosis. Phagocytic clearance of apoptotic inflammatory cells by microglia may be an important mechanism for the termination of autoimmune inflammation in the CNS. Augmentation of microglial phagocytosis by the Th-1-type cytokine IFN-gamma suggests a feedback mechanism for the accelerated clearance of the inflammatory infiltrate in the CNS.

Pathology of fatal human infection associated with avian influenza A H5N1 virus.

Eighteen cases of human influenza A H5N1 infection were identified in Hong Kong from May to December 1997. Two of the six fatal cases had undergone a full post-mortem which showed reactive hemophagocytic syndrome as the most prominent feature. Other findings included organizing diffuse alveolar damage with interstitial fibrosis, extensive hepatic central lobular necrosis, acute renal tubular necrosis and lymphoid depletion. Elevation of soluble interleukin-2 receptor, interleukin-6 and interferon-gamma was demonstrated in both patients, whereas secondary bacterial pneumonia was not observed. Virus detection using isolation, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunostaining were all negative. It is postulated that in fatal human infections with this avian subtype, initial virus replication in the respiratory tract triggers hypercytokinemia complicated by the reactive hemophagocytic syndrome. These findings suggest that the pathogenesis of influenza A H5N1 infection might be different from that of the usual human subtypes H1-H3.

To clarify the mechanism of interleukin (IL)-6 elevation in the cerebrospinal fluid of viral meningitis and/or encephalitis patients, we investigated how herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1)-infection enhances IL-6 production in human glioma cells (the U373MG and T98G cells). Although human glioma cells did not show enhanced IL-6 production by direct HSV1-infection, the cell-free supernatant from HSV1-stimulated mononuclear cells (MNC) culture and lipopolysaccharide, as a positive control, markedly elevated IL-6 production at both mRNA and polypeptide levels. Ultra violet-irradiated HSV1 induced the secretion of the IL-6 inducing factor(s) from MNC, whereas heat-inactivated HSV1 did not show this activity. This finding indicated that the adsorption of virus on the surface of MNC may be sufficient for induction of secretion. The supernatant from the culture of HSV1-stimulated MNC contained detectable amounts of IL-1beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha, interferon (IFN) gamma and IL-6, and its IL-6-inducing activity was inhibited only by anti-IL-1beta antibodies. Moreover, recombinant IL-1beta markedly enhanced IL-6 production in glioma cells with a concomitant elevation of its mRNA level. Taken together, the results suggest that in HSV1-infection of the CNS, enhancement of IL-6 production in glial cells is mediated not by direct infection to glial cells but rather by IL-1beta released from HSV1-stimulated MNC. These findings may help elucidate the mechanisms underlying cerebro-parenchymal inflammatory progression and repair in herpes simplex encephalitis.

[Improvement of host-immunity by adjuvant therapy with juzen-taiho-to for patients with brain tumors]

[Article in Japanese]

T cell subset, natural killer (NK) cell activity and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) productivity of lymphocytes in the peripheral blood were investigated in order to study host-immunity before and after administration of Juzentaiho-to (TJ-48) with or without Interferon-beta (INF-beta) for 29 patients with brain tumors (15 cases of gliomas and 14 cases of non-glial tumors). "A" group was given TJ-48 (7.5 g/day, p.o.) with INF-beta 300 million IU/1-2 weeks after initial treatment, and "B" group was treated by only TJ-48. % values of helper T cells (CD4+, CD45RA-), cytotoxic T cells (CD8+, 11b-), suppressor T cells (CD8+ +. 11b+) and NK activity were calculated with two color flowcytometry before and at 1 month, 2 months and 3 months after the administration of TJ-48. TNF-alpha productivity of lymphocytes was examined by the ELISA method at the same time. Suppressor T cells decreased significantly after 2 months following administration of JT-48 in 16 of 17 cases in both A and B group. After administration of TJ-48, helper T cells tended to increase slightly, but cytotoxic T cells and NK activity did not change. TNF-alpha productivity was measured in 8 cases of gliomas and increased to levels higher than they were before administration of TJ-48 in all of the cases which were examined more than 2 months after treatment. Adjuvant therapy with TJ-48 in both A and B group improved the host-immunity of the patients with brain tumors. It was concluded that it was useful as an assistant treatment for brain tumors.

Like developmental biology of any part of our body, hair growth is a complicated process. Hence the homework for modern science to yet unravel the process and mechanism to a completion. There exist a number of traditional and alternative therapeutic methods that include drugs, surgery, suppelements, and even snake oils that have been developed and used for those who lose hair. No understanding, and there is no solution. Of course, none of these approaches are perfect for all hair loss problems, especially due to the heterogeneity of the causes underlying hair losses. Most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are accompanied by undesirable side effects.
