Nitric oxide (NO.) produced by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mediates a number of important physiological and pathophysiological processes. The objective of this investigation was to examine the role of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in the regulation of iNOS and NO. by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) + lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in macrophages using specific inhibitors and dominant inhibitory mutant proteins of the MAPK pathways. The signaling pathway utilized by IFN-gamma in iNOS induction is well elucidated. To study signaling pathways that are restricted to the LPS-signaling arm, we used a subclone of the parental RAW 264.7 cell line that is unresponsive to IFN-gamma alone with respect to iNOS induction. In this RAW 264.7gammaNO(-) subclone, IFN-gamma and LPS are nevertheless required for synergistic activation of the iNOS promoter. We found that extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) augmented and p38(mapk) inhibited IFN-gamma + LPS induction of iNOS. Dominant-negative MAPK kinase-4 inhibited iNOS promoter activation by IFN-gamma + LPS, also implicating the c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway in mediating iNOS induction. Inhibition of the ERK pathway markedly reduced IFN-gamma + LPS-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha protein expression, providing a possible mechanism by which ERK augments iNOS expression. The inhibitory effect of p38(mapk) appears more complex and may be due to the ability of p38(mapk) to inhibit LPS-induced JNK activation. These results indicate that the MAPKs are important regulators of iNOS-NO. expression by IFN-gamma + LPS.

OBJECTIVES: To describe cases of peripheral neuropathy associated with chronic hepatitis C virus infection without mixed cryoglobulinaemia. METHODS: Four cases of peripheral neuropathy associated with chronic hepatitis C virus infection with persistent negativity of mixed cryoglobulinaemia were found. RESULTS: All patients had small increases of transaminase levels and a positive viraemia. Liver biopsy showed chronic active hepatitis in all but one case (Knodell 4-9, Metavir A0F0-A3F3). Neuromuscular biopsy showed axonal neuropathy associated with lymphoid infiltrates around small vessels in two cases. Rheumatoid factor was always negative and C4 complement level was always normal. In three patients, neuropathy improved with interferon alpha, interferon alpha + ursodesoxycholic acid, or steroids + plasma exchange. CONCLUSION: Peripheral neuropathy may be associated with hepatitis C virus infection without mixed cryoglobulinaemia.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Interferon alpha (IFN-alpha) therapy for chronic hepatitis C may trigger induction of autoimmunity against several organs. Immune reactions against distinct adrenocortical protein antigens involved in adrenal autoimmune disease have not been reported to date. Therefore, we investigated the development of highly sensitive and specific adrenal autoantibodies in patients with chronic hepatitis C in response to IFN-alpha treatment. In addition, we studied induction of pancreatic islet and thyroid autoantibodies. PATIENTS/METHODS: Sera of 75 patients (42 males, 33 females; mean age 47 (13) years) were analysed before, during, and after IFN-alpha therapy (9-18x10(6) IE/week; mean duration 8.3 (3.5) months). Autoantibodies (Abs) to adrenal 21-hydroxylase (21OH-Abs), and to islet glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65-Abs) and protein tyrosine phosphatase (IA2-Abs) were determined by a radiobinding assay using (35)S labelled protein generated by an in vitro translation system. Thyroid antibodies were measured by a commercially available ELISA. RESULTS: Thirteen of 75 patients were initially positive for some of the autoantibodies. During or after IFN-alpha therapy, 3/62 initially negative patients (4.8%) developed 21OH-Abs. GAD65-Abs or IA2-Abs appeared in 5/62 and 1/62 patients, respectively (9.7% in total). In 12/62 patients (19.4%), thyroid specific antibodies appeared. In none of the 21OH-Ab positive subjects was adrenal dysfunction observed, and no patient with islet autoantibodies developed diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance. CONCLUSIONS: IFN-alpha induces 21OH-Abs in some cases, while islet and thyroid specific autoantibodies are more frequently found. However, our results indicate for the first time that the adrenal cortex also has to be considered as a potential target of IFN-alpha related autoimmunity.

Role of interferon alpha in promoting T helper cell type 1 responses in the small intestine in coeliac disease.

Coeliac disease (CD) is caused by a CD4 T helper cell type 1 (Th1) response in the small intestinal mucosa to dietary gluten. As the major Th1 inducing cytokine, interleukin 12, is undetectable in CD gut mucosa, the mechanism by which Th1 effector cells are generated remains unknown. Interferon (IFN) alpha, a cytokine capable of promoting IFN-gamma synthesis, has been implicated in the development of Th1 mediated immune diseases. Here we report a case of CD-like enteropathy in a patient receiving IFN-alpha for chronic myeloid leukaemia. Morphological assessment of duodenal biopsies taken from the patient showed total villous atrophy, crypt cell hyperplasia, and a high number of CD3+ intraepithelial lymphocytes. Both antigliadin antibodies and antiendomysial antibodies were positive. RNA analysis revealed pronounced expression of IFN-gamma. Withdrawal of gluten from the diet resulted in a patchy improvement in intestinal morphology, normalisation of laboratory parameters, and resolution of clinical symptoms. By western blot analysis, IFN-alpha protein was seen in the duodenal mucosa from untreated CD patients but not in controls. This was associated with marked expression of IFN-gamma protein in CD mucosa. Collectively, these results suggest a role for IFN-alpha in promoting Th1 responses to gluten.

A distinct expression of CC chemokines by macrophages in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: implication for the intense tumor infiltration by T lymphocytes and macrophages.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is characterized by harboring Epstein-Barr virus genes in the tumor cells and an intense infiltration of leukocytes in the tumor tissue. These infiltrating cells are mainly composed of T lymphocytes and macrophages. The mechanism of this intense infiltration has long been a puzzle. We attempted to address this issue by studying the expression of CC chemokines, which are responsible for recruiting both T cells and macrophages, by an immunohistochemical approach. In biopsies obtained from nasopharynx of 17 NPC patients that contained tumor cells, expression of macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha (MIP-1alpha), MIP-1beta, macrophage chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), MCP-2, MCP-3, and RANTES was detected in the tumor-infiltrating cells, with MIP-1alpha and MCP-1 found in nearly all biopsies and the others relatively less frequently. Furthermore, expression of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) was also observed in tumor-infiltrating cells. In contrast, CC chemokines and IFN-gamma were rarely expressed in the 13 control biopsies that were either normal or with nonspecific inflammation, and in 4 biopsies from untreated NPC patients that contained no tumor cells. Using an immunofluorescent double-staining method, MIP-1alpha and MCP-1 were identified to be associated with macrophages, and IFN-gamma with T cells. Moreover, expression of CCR2 and CCR5, the receptors for these chemokines, was also detected in the tumor-infiltrating cells. These data indicate that the intense tumor infiltration by T cells and macrophages is a result of active recruitment. It seems possible that the intense infiltration of leukocytes in NPC tumor tissue is initiated by the activated tumor-reactive T cells. T cells migrate into the tumor tissue in an antigen-specific mode, and IFN-gamma secreted from these pioneer T cells activates tissue macrophages to express CC chemokines, especially MIP-1alpha and MCP-1, which consequently recruit more T cells and macrophages into the tumor tissue.

Natural Herbal Supplement: Hair Million


Hair Loss, or alopecia is a concern for increasing number of folks in aging society. Loss of hair is a visible problem, and affects the appearance and changes identity of a person.
The phenomenon of hair thinning and hair loss is most commonly associated with natural aging, although there are many other causes of hair loss, which include inherited or genetic conditions, illnesses, malnutrition, stress, hormonal problems, chemotherapy, and use of some drugs.
Hair growth is a sophisticated biological process, which has not yet been completely understood. A multitude of therapeutic measures, including drugs, surgery, and suppelements have been made available, and used. However, due to the heterogeneity in the underlying cause, there is no perfect cure 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 hair loss problems. Anecdotally, it shows prositive results and improvement 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. However, there are two merits in this hair restoration herbal formula:
Firstly, Hair Million is rather inexpensive, and secondly, it is made of well known herbs that are safe when consumed in regular quantities.














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.
