  • Platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR) plays an important role in bacterial infection and inflammation. We examined the effect of the bacterial cell wall components lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from Lactobacillus plantarum (pLTA) and Staphylococcus aureus (aLTA) on PAFR expression in THP-1, a monocyte-like cell line. LPS and aLTA, but not pLTA, significantly increased PAFR expression, whereas priming with pLTA inhibited LPS-mediated or aLTA-mediated PAFR expression. Expression of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and 4, and CD14 increased with LPS and aLTA treatments, but was inhibited by pLTA pretreatment. Neutralizing antibodies against TLR2, TLR4, and CD14 showed that these receptors were important in LPS-mediated or aLTA-mediated PAFR expression. PAFR expression is mainly regulated by the nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathway. Blocking PAF binding to PAFR using a PAFR inhibitor indicated that LPS-mediated or aLTA-mediated PAF expression affected TNF-${\alpha}$ production. In the mouse small intestine, pLTA inhibited PAFR, TLR2, and TLR4 expression that was induced by heat-labile toxin. Our data suggested that pLTA has an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the expression of PAFR that was induced by pathogenic ligands.

  • Background: Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists have been used as adjuvants to modulate immune responses in both animals and humans. Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the combined effects of the TLR 4 agonist monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) and the TLR 3 agonist polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (Poly I:C) on equine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs), and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs). Methods: The PBMCs, MoDCs, and BM-MSCs collected from three mixed breed horses were treated with MPL, Poly I:C, and their combination. The mRNA expression of interferon gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12p40, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) was determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: The combination of MPL and Poly I:C significantly upregulated immunomodulatory responses in equine cells/ without cytotoxicity. The combination induced greater mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ and IL-6 than MPL or Poly I:C stimulation alone in PBMCs. In addition, the combination induced significantly higher mRNA expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-12p40 in MoDCs, and IL-8, MCP-1, and VEGF in BM-MSCs compared to stimulation with a single TLR agonist. Conclusions: The combination of MPL and Poly I:C can be used as a potential adjuvant candidate for vaccines to aid in preventing infectious diseases in horses.

  • 목 적 : Echinacea는 면역증강제로 이미 사용되고 있는 재래 식물로서 최근에 Echinacea의 추출물로 단구를 중심으로 면역세포들에 의한 면역증강효과에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 단구와 수지상세포에서 Echinacea에 의해 유전자의 발현이 증가되는 면역관련 유전자들을 cDNA microarray chip을 사용하여 선별하고 이들을 토대로 Echinacea의 면역증강 효과에 대한 연구를 할 때 기초 자료가 되고자 하였다. 방 법 : 실험 1과 2는 3명의 공여자의 말초혈 단구로 실험하였는데 실험 1은 단구에 최종 농도가 $50{\mu}g/mL$ 되게 Echinacea를 첨가하여 1일간 배양하였고, 실험 2는 실험 1의 대조군으로서 Echinacea를 첨가하지 않고 배양하였다. 실험 3과 4는 2명의 공여자의 단구로 실험하였는데 실험 3은 GM-CSF와 IL-4를 첨가하여 5일간 배양시켜 수지상세포로 분화시킨 뒤 Echinacea를 첨가하여 1일간 더 배양시켰고, 실험 4는 실험 3의 대조군으로서 수지상세포로 분화시킨 뒤 Echinacea를 첨가하지 않고 1 일간 더 배양하였다. Echinacea에 의한 단구와 수지상세포의 유전자발현 효과를 알아보기 위해서 cDNA microarray chip을 이용하여 대조군에 대한 실험군의 각 유전자의 발현비를 구하였다. Echinacea를 첨가하지 않은 단구(실험 2의 단구)에 대한 Echinacea를 첨가한 단구(실험 1의 단구)의 각 유전자들의 발현 비를 구하였고, Echinacea를 첨가하지 않은 수지상세포(실험 4의 수지상세포)에 대한 Echinacea를 첨가한 수지상세포(실험 3의 수지상세포)의 각 유전자들의 발현비를 구하였다. 여기서 실험 1과 2에서는 세 공여자의 단구에서 나온 유전자 발현비의 결과를, 실험 3과 4에서는 두 공여자의 수지상세포에서 나온 유전자 발현비의 결과를 평균하여 그 발현비가 2.5 이상 되는 것을 의미있게 발현된 유전자로 보았다. 결 과 : Echinacea를 첨가하지 않은 단구를 대조군으로 하여 Echinacea를 첨가한 단구의 유전자 발현비가 2.5 이상으로 증가한 것들 중 면역과 관계된 유전자들은 17개였다. Echinacea를 첨가하지 않은 수지상세포를 대조군으로 하여 Echinacea를 첨가한 수지상세포의 유전자 발현비가 2.5 이상으로 증가한 것들 중 면역과 관계된 유전자들은 24개였고, 실험에 사용한 수지상세포들은 모두 미성숙 수지상세포의 특징적인 표면항원들을 가지고 있음을 유세포 분석으로 확인하였다. Echinacea가 단구와 수지상세포 둘 다에서 의미있게 유전자발현비가 증가된 것들이 7개 있었는데, 이들은 CD44, IFI 30, MRC 1, CCR 7, CLK 2, syntenin, cytochrome C oxidase subunit VIII 등의 유전자들이었다. 특히 발현비가 3.5 이상으로 높은 유전자들을 그 발현비 순으로 나열하면 단구에서는 IFI 30, CLK 2, syntenin, superoxide dismutase 2 등 4개의 유전자들이 있었고, 수지상세포에서는 somatomedin A, methyl-CpG binding domain protein 3, IFI 30, small inducible cytokine subfamily A(Cys-Cys), member 22, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2L 6, hexosaminidase B, nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor epsilon, CCR 7 등 8개의 유전자들이 있었다. 결 론 : 본 연구는 Echinacea가 $CD14^+$ 단구 및 수지상세포에서 발현을 증가시키는 면역관련 유전자들을 cDNA microarray chip을 이용하여 검색하였고, 향후 이 유전자들을 기초로 정량적이고 기능적으로 분석할 수 있는 토대를 마련하였다.

  • 본 연구에서는 홍삼 비사포닌 분획(NSF)의 항 염증 효과를 마우스 대식세포와 인간유래 단핵세포에서 확인하였다. NSF는 마우스 대식세포에서 LPS로 유도된 NO, iNOS 그리고 COX-2의 양 뿐만 아니라 IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$, MCP-1과 같은 염증성 싸이토카인의 생성량을 유의적으로 감소시켰다. 인간 유래 단핵세포에서는 PMA에 의해 유도되는 대식세포로의 분화를 효과적으로 억제하면서 분화인자인 $CD11{\beta}$와 CD36의 발현을 유의적으로 감소시켰다. 마우스 대식세포에서와 마찬가지로 염증성 싸이토카인들의 생성량 또한 감소하였는데, 이러한 NSF의 항 염증 효과는 두 전사인자의 조절작용에 의한 것으로 사료된다. 즉 NSF는 $NF-{\kappa}B$의 핵으로 이동을 감소시킴으로써 전사활성을 억제하여 염증성 싸이토카인들의 발현을 저해하고 이와 반대로 Nrf2의 발현과 핵으로의 이동을 증가시켜 항산화 효소이면서 항 염증 작용을 나타내는 HO-1의 발현을 촉진하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 따라서 NSF는 $NF-{\kappa}B$와 Nrf2의 두 가지 신호전달체계를 조절함으로써 항 염증 작용을 나타냈으며 이를 홍삼 NSF의 항 염증 기작으로 보고하는 바이다.

  • Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Tannerella forsythia (Tf), Prevotella intermedia (Pi), and Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) are major periodontal pathogens. Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) from periodontal bacteria play an important role in periodontal pathogenesis by stimulating host cells to produce inflammatory cytokines. In this study, highly pure LPSs from the five major periodontopathogens were prepared, and their monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-inducing activities were compared in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and THP-1 macrophagic cells, respectively. In HUVECs, LPSs from Aa and Fn were potent stimulators for MCP-1 induction; however, LPSs from Pg, Pi, and Tf were much weaker MCP-1 inducers. In THP-1 cells, LPSs from Pg, Aa, and Fn were relatively strong inducers of TNF-α, whereas LPSs from Pi and Tf produced little activity. The Toll-like receptor (TLR)2/TLR4 dependency of various LPSs was also determined by measuring NF-κB reporter activity in TLR2- or TLR4-expressing 293 cells. LPSs from Aa, Fn, and Tf stimulated only TLR4; however, LPSs from Pg and Pi stimulated both TLR2 and TLR4. These results suggest that LPSs from major periodontal bacteria differ considerably in their cell-stimulating activity.

  • The GroEL heat-shock protein from Fusobacterium nucleatum, a periodontopathogen, activates risk factors for atherosclerosis in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1) and ApoE-/- mice. In this study, we analyzed the signaling pathways by which F. nucleatum GroEL induces the proinflammatory factors in HMEC-1 cells known to be risk factors associated with the development of atherosclerosis and identified the cellular receptor used by GroEL. The MAPK and NF-${\kappa}B$ signaling pathways were found to be activated by GroEL to induce the expression of interleukin-8 (IL-8), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), E-selectin, and tissue factor (TF). These effects were inhibited by a TLR4 knockdown. Our results thus indicate that TLR4 is a key receptor that mediates the interaction of F. nucleatum GroEL with HMEC-1 cells and subsequently induces an inflammatory response via the MAPK and NF-${\kappa}B$ pathways.

  • Our previous data showed the protein isolated from Coptidis Rhizoma (CRP) had antifungal activity. In present study, we examined mode of action of the CRP and its activity against subcutaneous candidiasis due to C. albicans yeast cells. Results showed that the CRP blocked hyphal production from yeast form of C. albicans. The CRP also activated RAW 264.7 monocyte/macrophage cell line, which resulted in nitiric oxide (NO) production from the cells. This activation seemed to increase macrophage phagocytosis to destroy the invaders. Like other antimicrobial peptides, CRP was influenced by ionic strength, thus resulting in a decrease of antifungal activity. In murine model of a subcutaneous candidiasis, the sizes of infected areas of the nude mice given the CRP after subcutaneous injection of C. albicans yeast cells to the dorsal skin were $90\%$ less than those of the nude mice groups that received DPBS instead of the CRP. All data indicate that the CRP, which appeared to act like an antimicrobial peptide and to inhibit the morphological transition from blastoconidia, was effec­tive against the subcutaneous disease.

  • In previous reports, we exhibited that acteoside showed significant cytotoxicity against various cancer cells. In this study we investigated that acteoside is capable of inducing differentiation in HL -60 human leukemia cell line. After being treated with acteoside, the growth curve was decreased remakably in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and cell doubling time was delayed. Exposure of cells to 20 $\mu\textrm{g}$/m$\ell$ acteoside induced differentiation of HL-60 cells to monocyte/macrophage-like cells by cell surface antigen expression. The percentage of NBT reducing activity was increased in a time-dependent manner. In addition. the protein lever of p21 and p16 increased and ppRb decreased in western biot analysis. Theas results suggest that acleoside possess the activity of inducing differentiation in HL-60 cells.

  • Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) regulates the immune system, including inflammatory responses, through TLR2-mediated signaling pathways. LTA isolated from Staphylococcus aureus (aLTA) has been shown to induce apoptosis, but the detailed mechanism has not been identified. We found that aLTA induced apoptosis through an autocrine mechanism in the human monocyte-like cell line, THP-1. We observed that the expression level of the anti-apoptosis protein, Bcl2, was suppressed in LTA-treated THP-1 cells. In addition, the cytokines, TNF-α and IFN-γ, which have been shown to induce apoptosis in some cell lines, were involved in THP-1 cell death via the modulation of Bcl2. The suppression of Bcl2 by aLTA was recovered when the negative regulator, SOCS-1, was knocked down. Taken together, these results showed that aLTA induced apoptosis in THP-1 cells through an autocrine mechanism of cytokines and SOCS-1-mediated Bcl2 inhibition.
