The most abundant intracellular proteins, heat shock proteins (HSPs), serve as molecular chaperones for regulatory and maturation pathways. Diverse families of HSPs have been shown to bind antigenic peptides and to play major roles in innate and adaptive immune responses through the common HSP receptor, CD91. HIV-1+ patients with Kaposi sarcoma (KS) were matched for CD4 count and HIV-1 RNA viral load to HIV-1+ patients without Kaposi sarcoma (and negative for Kaposisarcoma-associated herpesvirus). We then investigated the pathways used by tumor lysates, viral lysates, and viral particles in their activation. In particular, we observed immune responses after HSP depletion using antitumor antibiotics and blockade of the common HSP receptor, CD91. Despite the impaired functional capacity of dendritic cells (DCs) derived from patients with KS, DCs retain the ability to prime the adaptive arm of the immune system through the common HSP receptor, leading to phenotypic activation and stimulation of tetramer-positive CD8+ cytotoxic T cells. We also show that interferon-producing plasmacytoid DCs are selectively depleted in KS-positive compared with matched KS-negative HIV-1-infected patients. Functionally impaired DCs can effectively cross-present immune responses through the common HSP receptor. These results have important implications for the etiopathogenesis of KS and for the development and design of any compounds, including vaccines, derived from cellular lysates.

Iron, manganese, and cobalt transport by Nramp1 (Slc11a1) and Nramp2 (Slc11a2) expressed at the plasma membrane.

Mutations in the Nramp1 gene (Slc11a1) cause susceptibility to infection by intracellular pathogens. The Nramp1 protein is expressed at the phagosomal membrane of macrophages and neutrophils and is a paralog of the Nramp2 (Slc11a2) iron transporter. The Nramp1 transport mechanism at the phagosomal membrane has remained controversial. An Nramp1 protein modified by insertion of a hemagglutinin epitope into the predicted TM7/8 loop was expressed at the plasma membrane of Chinese hamster ovary cells as demonstrated by immunofluorescence and surface biotinylation. Experiments in Nramp1HA transfectants using the metal-sensitive fluorophors calcein and Fura2 showed that Nramp1HA can mediate Fe2+, Mn2+, and Co2+ uptake. Similar results were obtained in transport studies using radioisotopic 55Fe2+ and 54Mn2+. Nramp1HA transport was dependent on time, temperature, and acidic pH, occurring down the proton gradient. These experiments suggest that Nramp1HA may be a more efficient transporter of Mn2+ compared to Fe2+ and a more efficient Mn2+ transporter than Nramp2HA. The membrane topology and transport properties of Nramp1HA and Nramp2HA were indistinguishable, suggesting that Nramp1 divalent-metal transport at the phagosomal membrane is mechanistically similar to that of Nramp2 at the membrane of acidified endosomes. These results clarify the mechanism by which Nramp1 contributes to phagocyte defenses against infections.

In Fanconi anemia (FA) C mice tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) have key roles in the pathogenesis of bone marrow failure. In FA subjects TNF-alpha was found to be increased in the serum and overproduced by patient-derived B-cell lines. In acquired aplastic anemia, a disease in which, similarly to FA, marrow failure occurs, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma act as late mediators of the stem cell damage and are overexpressed in patient marrow lymphocytes. This study evaluated in marrow mononuclear cells (MNCs) of patients with FA, the expression of negative modulators of the hematopoiesis, such as TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha (MIP-1alpha), and surface Fas ligand, and the role of TNF-alpha on FA erythropoiesis in vitro. TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma were significantly overexpressed in stimulated marrow MNCs of FA patients as compared to healthy controls. MIP-1alpha and Fas ligand were undetectable in patients and controls. In bone marrow cultures, the addition of anti-TNF-alpha increased the size and significantly increased the number of erythroid colony-forming units and erythroid burst-forming units grown from FA patients but not from healthy controls. This indicates that FA subjects have a marrow TNF-alpha activity that inhibits erythropoiesis in vitro. TNF-alpha has a relevant role in the pathogenesis of erythroid failure in FA patients.

Using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specific for different natural killer (NK) receptors, we studied the lymphocyte population from 18 patients with NK-type lymphoproliferative disease of granular lymphocytes (LDGL). The analysis of both resting and cultured NK cell populations demonstrated that these patients are frequently characterized by NK cells displaying a homogeneous staining with given anti-killer Ig-like receptor (anti-KIR) mAb (11 of 18 patients). In most patients NK cells were characterized by the CD94/NKG2A+ phenotype, whereas only a minor fraction of the cases expressed CD94/NKG2C. In 7 of these patients we could also assess the function of the various NK receptors. Remarkably those KIR molecules that, in each patient, homogeneously marked the NK cell expansion were found to display an activating function as determined by cross-linking with specific anti-KIR mAb. The KIR genotype analysis performed in 13 of 18 cases revealed that in NK-type LDGL certain activating KIRs, as well as certain infrequent KIR genotypes, were detected with higher frequencies as compared to previously analyzed healthy donors. Moreover, most KIR genotypes included multiple genes coding for activating KIRs. The analysis of non-HLA-specific triggering receptors indicated that the natural cytotoxicity receptors (NKp46, NKp30) were expressed at significantly low levels in freshly drawn NK cells from most patients analyzed. However, in most instances the expression of NKp46 and NKp30 could be up-regulated on culture in interleukin 2. Our data indicate that in NK-LDGL the expanded subset is frequently characterized by the expression of a given activating KIR, suggesting a direct role for these molecules in the pathogenetic mechanisms of this disorder.

Cyclic neutropenia is a rare disease that occurs both in humans and gray collie dogs and is characterized by recurrent severe neutropenia leading to bacterial infections and shortened life expectancy. Daily injections of recombinant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rG-CSF) are effective in shortening the period of severe neutropenia and reducing infections. After demonstrating that rG-CSF induced elevated neutrophil production in an affected dog, cytokine administration was stopped and 109 infectious units (IUs) of a lentivirus pseudotyped with vesicular stomatitis virus G protein (VSV-G) encoding canine G-CSF cDNA was administered intramuscularly. Serial blood cell counts showed elevated neutrophil production for longer than 17 months. Although neutrophil counts continued to cycle, the range at nadirs was from 3710 to 5300 cells/microL, well above the nadirs before lentivirus administration. After the injection of lentivirus, mean neutrophil counts +/- SD were 12 460 +/- 4240 cells/microL, significantly increased over both pretreatment values of 3040 +/- 2540 cells/microL (P <.0001) and neutrophil counts during G-CSF administration of 10 290 +/- 4860 cells/microL(P <.007). The changes in blood counts from lentivirus injection were associated with absence of clinical signs of infection and fever. The gray collie continued to gain weight and was no longer housed in a pathogen-free environment. Genomic DNA from muscle at injection sites was positive for provirus, whereas gonad, lung, spleen, heart, liver, kidney, leukocytes, and noninjected muscle samples were all negative for provirus. Thus, intramuscular administration of lentivirus encoding G-CSF provided sustained therapeutic levels of neutrophils, suggesting this approach may be applied for long-term treatment of patients with cyclic and other neutropenias.

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.
