Our recent DNA microarray analysis using tissue obtained by laser capture microdissection (LCM) identified up-regulation of RON (a tyrosine kinase receptor) during the late secretory phase in eutopic endometrial epithelial cells from patients with deep endometriosis compared with control endometrium from women with macroscopically normal pelvic cavities. In the present study, we further investigated mRNA expression of RON and its ligand, macrophage stimulating protein (MSP), in deep endometriotic lesions, eutopic endometrium from patients with deep endometriosis and control endometrium by using LCM and quantitative real-time RT-PCR. MSP mRNA expression in endometrial epithelial cells was significantly up-regulated in endometriosis patients during the late secretory phase compared with expression in controls. Furthermore, we detected up-regulation of MSP mRNA in ectopic endometrial epithelial cells compared with matched eutopic endometrial epithelial cells within the same patients regardless of the menstrual phase. MSP has an intrinsically dual functional nature through its receptor RON-it is a trophic cytokine preventing apoptosis and a scatter factor promoting invasion, both of which may be necessary for the initial development and growth of endometriosis. The present findings suggest that the MSP/RON system may be involved in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. 相似文献

Macrophage-stimulating protein (MSP) is a serum protein belonging to the plasminogen-related growth factor family. The specific receptor for MSP is the RON (recepteur d'origine nantais) receptor tyrosine kinase - a member of the MET proto-oncogene family. Activation of RON by MSP exerts dual functions on macrophages. The stimulatory activities include the induction of macrophage spreading, migration and phagocytosis. However, MSP also inhibits lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced production of inflammatory mediators, including inducible nitric oxide and prostaglandins. These suppressive effects are mediated by RON-transduced signals that block LPS-induced enzymatic cascades that activate nuclear factor kappa-B (NFkappaB) pathways. Recent in vivo studies demonstrated that inactivation of the RON gene results in increased inflammatory responses and susceptibility to LPS-induced septic death in mice, suggesting that RON expression is required for attenuating the extent of inflammatory responses in vivo. Thus, MSP and RON are potential regulators that control macrophage activities during bacterial infection in vivo. 相似文献

Background: The pro-inflammatory cytokine, granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), which is elevated in the lungs of atopic asthmatic patients, has been shown to enhance major histocompatibility class II expression of alveolar macrophages (AM). We hypothesized that exposure of AM and monocytes from atopic asthmatic patients to GM-CSF would enhance their antigen presenting function, and investigated putative mechanisms for this effect.
Methods: Alveolar macrophages were purified from bronchoalveolar lavage by plastic adherence. Monocytes and CD4+ T cells were purified from peripheral blood by magnetic bead separation. Antigen-presenting cell (APC) were pretreated with GM-CSF, pulsed with allergen and cocultured with autologous T cells. T-cell proliferation was determined by tritiated thymidine incorporation and cytokine production by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: Exposure of allergen-pulsed AM and peripheral blood monocytes to GM-CSF significantly increased allergen-specific T-cell proliferation and T helper 2 (Th2) cytokine production. The enhanced response was dependent on costimulation by CD86, but not CD80. Inhibition of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway abrogated GM-CSF-mediated upregulation by monocytes of allergen-specific interleukin-5 (IL-5) and IL-13 cytokine production. Blocking of the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (cysLT1 ) receptor by a specific receptor antagonist inhibited allergen-specific IL-5 production in response to GM-CSF pretreatment.
Conclusion: Exposure to GM-CSF enhanced the capacity of human APC from atopic asthmatic patients to induce allergen-specific Th2 responses by a mechanism involving cysLT. Novel immunotherapies, targeting production of GM-CSF or its actions on APC have the potential, therefore, to prove beneficial in treatment of patients with inflammatory airway disease. 相似文献

Human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) were administered intravenously
to rats, and their effects on neutrophils and monocytes were examined by electron microscopy. G-CSF increased the number of
cytoplasmic granules in neutrophils. It also enhanced maturation of the nuclear shape in the neutrophils, while chromatin
condensation and peroxidase distribution remained immature. M-CSF induced proliferation of monocytes in peripheral blood and
bone marrow, but did not affect morphology or distribution of peroxidase reactivity.

BACKGROUND: Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is involved in the innate immunity within the lung and may have important roles in modulating the inflammatory process of asthma. OBJECTIVE: To examine the potential immunomodulating role of SP-D on the allergic response in mice, and its interaction with the alveolar macrophages (AMs) during allergic inflammation. METHODS: A recombinant 60 kDa fragment of human SP-D (rfh SP-D), Survanta, and budesonide were administrated, respectively, to Der p-sensitive BALB/c mice before or after allergen challenge (AC). Total and differential cell counts, levels of cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids(BALFs), and levels of Der p-specific IgE and IgG1 antibodies in sera, were assayed. The production of nitric oxide (NO), and inducible NO synthase (iNOS) expression, in AMs, were determined by ELISA and RT-PCR, respectively. RESULTS: Instillation of rfh SP-D to sensitized mice 6 h after AC (therapeutic), but not 24 h before AC (preventive), markedly reduced infiltration of eosinophils, and also reduced levels of IL-4, IL-5, eotaxin, and TNF-alpha but elevated levels of IFN-gamma in the BALF. These effects were comparable with those obtained with budesonide treatment, whereas Survanta did not have a suppressive effect, either before or after AC. There was significant inhibition of NO production in the rfh SP-D pre-treated AMs of allergen-sensitized mice, but not in naive mice. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that rfh SP-D has a therapeutic effect on allergen-induced bronchial inflammation, and that this might be because of its inhibitory effect on NO and TNF-alpha production by AMs, and it thus prevents the development of T-helper type 2 cytokine response. 相似文献

Introduction
Altered neutrophil apoptosis might be responsible for recurrent bacterial infections encountered in hemodialysis (HD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. This work was designed to assess the neutrophil apoptotic activity and the impact of implementation of granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), as a survival factor, on neutrophil apoptosis among these patients.Material and methods
Twenty-five patients on regular HD along with 34 CKD patients on conservative treatment, as well as 15 healthy controls, were investigated for apoptotic rate via assessment of neutrophil expression of Annexin-V by flow cytometry, before and after 20 h culture in absence and presence of GM-CSF. Neutrophil viability was determined using light microscopy. The preservation of neutrophil activation in these patients was analyzed by flow cytometric CD18 neutrophil expression. Chronic inflammatory state was evaluated by estimating C-reactive protein (CRP) and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1). Obtained data were statistically analyzed.Results
Compared to controls, both HD and CKD groups had a significant increase of Annexin-V and CD18 expression and significant decrease in neutrophil viability. Culture of their neutrophils with GM-CSF showed significant decrease of apoptosis accompanied by improvement of neutrophil viability compared to their cultured cells without GM-CSF. These patients also showed significant elevation of CRP and sICAM-1.Conclusions
Granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor demonstrated an evident impact on improving in vitro neutrophil survival and viability in HD and CKD patients. Therefore, this may represent promising preventive and/or therapeutic strategies against infection frequently observed in these patients and causing morbidity and mortality. 相似文献12.

Infection by maedi-visna virus, a lentivirus of sheep, leads to chronic inflammatory reactions of various tissues. In this report we have analysed the role of specific cytokines in the disease process. A significant increase in expression of interleukin-6, interleukin-10, granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and transforming growth factor-beta1 mRNA was observed in alveolar macrophages isolated from the lungs of naturally infected animals when compared with lungs of seronegative controls. Levels of GM-CSF mRNA expression in alveolar macrophages correlated with the presence of lung lesions, but there was no correlation of interleukin-10, interleukin-6, tumour necrosis factor-alpha and transforming growth factor-beta1 mRNA levels in alveolar macrophages from animals with pulmonary lesions. In vitro investigation showed that GM-CSF in the range 0.1-10 ng/ml induced a significant increase in viral p25 production after 7 days in acutely infected blood monocyte-derived macrophages. The production of p25 peaked between 7 and 14 days exposure to 10 ng/ml of GM-CSF. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed that the level of viral DNA in monocyte-derived macrophages was dose-dependent following GM-CSF treatment in the range 0.1-100 ng/ml after 7 days. Viral mRNA expression was also enhanced. These findings indicate a role for GM-CSF in the pathogenesis of lymphoid interstitial pneumonia in infected animals. 相似文献

Taking advantage of the recently demonstrated presence of N-aminopeptidasesand the serine protease dipeptidyi aminopeptidase IV (DPP IV)at the surface of human myeloblastic HL-60 cells, the regulationof these protease activities in HL-60 cell differentiation hasbeen assessed using combined spectrophotometric and flow cytometricassays. Addition of human recombinant granulocyte macrophagecolony stimulating factor (rHu-GM-CSF) to HL-60 cells to inducedifferentiation into macrophages led to a time and dose-dependentincrease in both cell surface N-aminopeptidase and DPP IV activities.Protease up-regulation was due to an enhancement in cell surfaceprotease number, associated with a slight rise in apparent affinitiesof the enzymes for their substrates. In contrast, in HL-60 cellsinduced to differentiate into neutrophils in the presenceofretinoic acid, expression of cell surface N-amlnopeptidaseswas almost completely abolished in a time-and dose-dependentfashion, and this down-regulation was accompanied by a weakbut significant decrease in affinity. However, no noticeabledifference was seen in serine DPP IV expression between retinoicacid-treated and untreated HL-60 cells. Retinoic acid treatmentalso reduced soluble protease activity in vitro indicating thatdown-regulation of membrane aminopeptldases was not due to theirproteolytic clip. No modulation in the activity of any of theenzymes tested was seen with human recombinant tumor necrosisfactor- or retinol which do not induce HL-60 cell differentiation.The up-regulation of cell surface protease expression in HL-60cells differentiated into macrophages was similar to that observedin monocytes isolated from peripheral blood: both DPP IV andN-aminopeptidase activities strictly increased on cells thatundergo macrophage maturation (up to 5-fold) and independentlyof the nature of the differentiation inducer. Thus, the distinctivepatterns of N-aminopeptidase and DPP IV expression that areseen in differentiating neutrophils and macrophages appear tobe relatedto differences in stage of myeloid maturation. Becausecell surface proteases are crucially involved in leukocyte functions,the data presented suggest that alterations in cell surfaceprotease expression are associated with events controlling thedifferentiation of immature cells. 相似文献

Allergic airway inflammation is characterized by peribronchial eosinophil accumulation within the submucosa of the airway of the lung. In the present study we have utilized a model of airway inflammation induced by intratracheal challenge with parasite (Schistosoma mansoni) egg antigen (SEA) in presensitized mice. The recruitment of neutrophils and eosinophils into the airway was found to be maximal at 8 and 48 h post challenge, respectively. Since macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) has previously been found to be chemotactic for eosinophils, in vitro, we postulated that MIP-1α was involved in the airway inflammation and more specifically in eosinophil recruitment into the airway. Initial studies demonstrated an increase in MIP-1α mRNA expression at 8 h post-SEA challenge, as compared to vehicle-treated control mice. We next demonstrated a significant increase in MIP-1α protein in the lungs of SEA-challenged mice at 8 h compared to control challenged mice, correlating to the mRNA data. Immunohistochemical staining of lungs from SEA-challenged mice demonstrated MIP-1α protein expression in airway epithelial cells, alveolar macrophages and in recruited mononuclear cell populations. Immunolocalization of MIP-1α to cells within the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid demonstrated that macrophages and eosinophils stained positive for the protein. To determine the contribution of MIP-1α expression to eosinophil accumulation, SEA-challenged mice were passively immunized with either neutralizing MIP-1α antibodies or normal rabbit IgG, 3–4 h prior to the intratracheal SEA challenge. These studies demonstrated a > 50% decrease in eosinophil recruitment to the lungs and airway in animals receiving neutralizing MIP-1α antibodies with no effect on early neutrophil recruitment. These results suggest that the production of MIP-1α, induced by an antigen-specific response, plays an important role in recruitment of eosinophils in this airway model of inflammation. 相似文献

Aberrant expression of the RON receptor tyrosine kinase has been implicated in the pathogenesis of epithelial tumours. The aim of this study was to determine RON expression in various normal epithelial cells and their corresponding tumours by immunohistochemistry. The role of RON in regulating tumourigenic phenotypes was also studied using thyroid cancer cells as a model. RON was almost exclusively expressed at variable levels in normal epithelial cells from the digestive track, lung, kidney, pancreas, liver, breast, bladder, skin, and others. Among 15 types of cancer studied, RON was overexpressed in significant numbers in cancers derived from breast (56%), colon (51%), lung (48), thyroid (42%), skin (37%), bladder (36%), and pancreas (33%). In contrast, limited RON overexpression was observed in cancers from stomach, kidney, brain, liver, ovary, and prostate. Detailed analysis of thyroid tissues showed that RON was hardly detected in normal thyroid cells, moderately expressed in adenoma samples, but overexpressed in about half of papillary and follicular cancer specimens. Overexpression correlated with advanced clinical stage and was associated with lymph node metastasis. In cultured thyroid cancer cells, RON was highly expressed, with constitutive phosphorylation. Activation of RON increased cell growth and migration via the MAP kinase and AKT pathways. Silencing RON expression significantly prevented cell growth and increased cell apoptotic death. These findings show that RON overexpression occurs in a particular group of epithelial cancers. The requirement for RON in sustaining tumourigenic phenotypes suggests that it is a potential target for therapeutic intervention. 相似文献
