    Abstract: Acute viral myocarditis (AVMC) is characterized by virus-triggered myocardial inflammation, and Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is the primary pathogen. We previously proved that Th17 cells, besides having proinflammatory effects, were involved in AVMC by enhancing humoral response. However, the relationship between Th17 cells and CVB3 replication remains unknown. In this experiment, we infected BALB/c mice with CVB3 for establishing AVMC models and then found that, with the increase of viral replication, the expressions of splenic Th17 cells, serum IL-17, and cardiac IL-17 mRNA were elevated significantly, accompanied by the progressive cardiac injuries of AVMC. Furthermore, on day 5, the peak time for viral replication, correlation was positive between cardiac IL-17 mRNA and CVB3 RNA (correlation index = 0.835; p & lt; 0.01). Although the expressions of Th1 and CD8+ T cells, which could secrete the antiviral cytokine IFN-γ and damage the heart, were also elevated, along with Th17 cells, in AVMC, the neutralization of IL-17 further upregulated the percentages of splenic Th1 and CD8+ T cells and the levels of cardiac IFN-γ mRNA. The cardiac pathological changes were obviously improved after neutralization, with reduced viral replication followed by decreases in the cardiac inflammatory cytokines IL-17, TNF-α, and IL-1β. These data suggest that Th17 cells contribute to CVB3 replication in AVMC, and that IL-17 might be an important target for regulating the balance of antiviral immunities.

    Abstract: Neutrophils are known to have antitumor potential. However, in recent years the tumor-promoting effect of neutrophils has been well demonstrated. So far, it remains unclear what causes the conversion of neutrophil function from tumor suppressive to tumor promoting. In this article, we report that the conversion of murine neutrophil function occurs in bone marrow, and that IL-6 cooperation with G-CSF is required for this conversion. IL-6 cooperated with G-CSF to modulate neutrophils in bone marrow, altering the activation potential of signaling pathways in neutrophils, especially that of STAT3. Costimulation with G-CSF and IL-6 induced a higher level of phospho-STAT3 in neutrophils, which was further increased by upregulation of STAT3 expression in neutrophils owing to downregulation of IFN-β expression in bone marrow macrophages by IL-6. Augmented STAT3 activation was crucial for upregulating the expression of Mmp9 and Bv8 genes and downregulating the expression of Trail and Rab27a genes in neutrophils. Moreover, G-CSF/IL-6–modulated neutrophils could not efficiently release azurophilic granules because of downregulation of Rab27a and inefficient activation of PI3K and p38 MAPK pathways. Because of premodulation by G-CSF and IL-6, neutrophils in response to complex stimuli in tumor released much less myeloperoxidase, neutrophil elastase, and TRAIL, but showed much higher expression of Mmp9 and Bv8 genes. Taken together, these results demonstrate that G-CSF and IL-6, despite their well-known physiological functions, could modulate the activation potential of signaling pathways in neutrophils, resulting in the production or release of the above-mentioned factors in a way that favors tumor angiogenesis and tumor growth.

    Abstract: In seeking evidence of the existence of adaptive immune system (AIS) in ancient chordate, cDNA clones of six libraries from a protochordate, the Chinese amphioxus, were sequenced. Although the key molecules such as TCR, MHC, Ig, and RAG in AIS have not been identified from our database, we demonstrated in this study the extensive molecular evidence for the presence of genes homologous to many genes that are involved in AIS directly or indirectly, including some of which may represent the putative precursors of vertebrate AIS-related genes. The comparative analyses of these genes in different model organisms revealed the different fates of these genes during evolution. Their gene expression pattern suggested that the primitive digestive system is the pivotal place of the origin and evolution of the AIS. Our studies support the general statement that AIS appears after the jawless/jawed vertebrate split. However our study further reveals the fact that AIS is in its twilight in amphioxus and the evolution of the molecules in amphioxus are waiting for recruitment by the emergence of AIS.

    Abstract: Fish IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) is a crucial transcription factor in the IFN activation signaling pathway, which leads to IFN production and a positive cycle. Unrestricted IFN expression results in hyperimmune responses and therefore, IFN must be tightly regulated. In the current study, we found that zebrafish Ub-activating enzyme (Uba1) negatively regulated IRF3 via the K-48 ubiquitin proteasome degradation of IRF3. First, ifn expression stimulated by spring viraemia of carp virus infection was blunted by the overexpression of Uba1 and enhanced by Uba1 knockdown. Afterward, we found that Uba1 was localized in the cytoplasm, where it interacted with and degraded IRF3. Functional domains analysis revealed that the C-terminal ubiquitin-fold domain was necessary for IRF3 degradation by Uba1 and the N-terminal DNA-binding domain of IRF3 was indispensable for the degradation by Uba1.The degradation of IRF3 was subsequently impaired by treatment with MG132, a ubiquitin proteasome inhibitor. Further mechanism analysis revealed that Uba1 induced the K48-linked Ub-proteasomal degradation of IRF3. Finally, the antiviral capacity of IRF3 was significantly attenuated by Uba1. Taken together, our study reveals that zebrafish Uba1 interacts with and activates the ubiquitinated degradation of IRF3, providing evidence of the IFN immune balance mechanism in fish.

    Abstract: Abnormally high follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) has been reported to associate with cardiovascular diseases in prostate cancer patients with specific androgen deprivation therapy and in menopausal women. All of the cardiovascular diseases were involved in atherosclerosis. However, the pathogenic mechanism of FSH-associated atherosclerosis remains uncertain. Apolipoprotein E–deficient mice were chosen to develop atherosclerosis, of which the plaques were analyzed with administration of short- and long-term FSH imitating androgen deprivation therapy–induced and menopausal FSH elevation. The study showed that short- and long-term exposure of FSH significantly accelerated atherosclerosis progression in apolipoprotein E–deficient mice, manifested as strikingly increased plaques in the aorta and its roots, increased macrophage content, reduced fibrin, and an enlarged necrotic core, suggesting a decrease in plaque stability. Furthermore, expression profiles from the Gene Expression Omnibus GSE21545 dataset revealed that macrophage inflammation was tightly associated with FSH-induced atherosclerotic progression. The human monocyte cell line THP-1 was induced by PMA and worked as a macrophage model to detect inflammatory factors and cellular functions. FSH remarkably promoted the expression of IL-1β in macrophages and strikingly increased the chemotactic migratory capacity of macrophages toward MCP-1, but the promigratory capacity of FSH was attenuated in foam cells. Overall, we revealed that FSH significantly promoted the inflammatory response and migration of macrophages, thereby provoking atherosclerosis development.

    Abstract: The apoptosis of glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) in the early phase of rat Thy-1 nephritis (Thy-1N), a model of human mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN), is primarily triggered by sublytic C5b-9. However, the mechanism of GMC apoptosis induced by sublytic C5b-9 remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that expressions of TNFR1-associated death domain–containing protein (TRADD) and IFN regulatory factor–1 (IRF-1) were simultaneously upregulated in the renal tissue of Thy-1N rats (in vivo) and in GMCs under sublytic C5b-9 stimulation (in vitro). In vitro, TRADD was confirmed to be a downstream gene of IRF-1, because IRF-1 could bind to TRADD gene promoter to promote its transcription, leading to caspase 8 activation and GMC apoptosis. Increased phosphorylation of p38 MAPK was verified to contribute to IRF-1 and TRADD production and caspase 8 activation, as well as to GMC apoptosis induced by sublytic C5b-9. Furthermore, phosphorylation of MEK kinase 2 (MEKK2) mediated p38 MAPK activation. More importantly, three sites (Ser153/164/239) of MEKK2 phosphorylation were identified and demonstrated to be necessary for p38 MAPK activation. In addition, silencing of renal MEKK2, IRF-1, and TRADD genes or inhibition of p38 MAPK activation in vivo had obvious inhibitory effects on GMC apoptosis, secondary proliferation, and urinary protein secretion in rats with Thy-1N. Collectively, these findings indicate that the cascade axis of MEKK2–p38 MAPK–IRF-1–TRADD–caspase 8 may play an important role in GMC apoptosis following exposure to sublytic C5b-9 in rat Thy-1N.

    Abstract: A characteristic immunopathology of human cancers is the induction of tumor antigen-specific T lymphocyte responses within solid tumor tissues. Current strategies for immune monitoring focus on the quantification of the density and differentiation status of tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes; however, properties of the TCR repertoire ‒ including antigen specificity, clonality, as well as its prognostic significance ‒ remain elusive. In this study, we enrolled 28 gastric cancer patients and collected tumor tissues, adjacent normal mucosal tissues, and peripheral blood samples to study the landscape and compartmentalization of these patients’ TCR beta repertoire by deep sequencing analyses. Our results illustrated antigen-driven expansion within the tumor compartment and the contracted size of shared clonotypes in mucosa and peripheral blood. Most importantly, the diversity of mucosal T lymphocytes could independently predict prognosis, which strongly underscores critical roles of resident mucosal T-cells in executing post-surgery immunosurveillance against tumor relapse.

    Abstract: The increased number of dendritic cells (DCs) inside lymphoid tissue may contribute to the enhanced priming of lymphocytes. The homeostasis of splenic DCs has mostly been attributed to their migration to the spleen via the chemokine microenvironment induced by lymphotoxin β receptor (LTβR) signaling on splenic stromal cells. In this study we show that the lack of direct LTβR signaling on DCs is associated with the reduction of the number of DCs in the spleen independently of chemokine gradients. LTβR−/− mice have reduced DCs and reduced BrdU incorporation on DCs, and fewer DCs from LTβR−/− mice are detected in the spleen. Furthermore, increased expression of LIGHT (homologous to lymphotoxin, exhibits inducible expression, competes with herpesvirus glycoprotein D for herpes virus entry mediator on T cells) on T cells, a member of the TNF family (TNFSF14) and a ligand for LTβR, could dramatically increase the number of T cells and DCs, which leads to severe autoimmune diseases in a LTβR-dependent fashion. In vitro, LIGHT could directly promote accumulation of bone marrow-derived DCs. Furthermore, intratumor expression of LIGHT can dramatically expand DCs in situ, and inoculation of DCs into tumor tissues enhanced tumor immunity. Therefore, LTβR signaling on DCs is required for their homeostasis during physiology and pathological conditions, and increased LIGHT-LTβR interaction could stimulate DC expansion for T cell-mediated immunity.
