Neural cell adhesion molecule contributes to hemopoiesis-supporting capacity of stromal cell lines

To clarify mechanisms underlying cell-to-cell interactions between hemopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and stromal cells, we established a stromal cell line (FMS/PA6-P) from day-16 fetal bone marrow (BM) adherent cells using an anti-PA6 monoclonal antibody (mAb) specific for BM stromal cells. Importantly, this FMS/PA6-P cell line, showing homogenous fibroblastic morphology, is absent from hematolymphoid and endothelial lineage markers and maintains a high level of expression of PA6 molecule, recognized by the anti-PA6 mAb, for approximately 20 passages. Further, the cell line expressing a high level of PA6 molecule has a better hemopoiesis-supporting capacity in vitro than other stromal cell lines such as PA6 and MS-5. In fact, the PA6 molecule is closely related to the hemopoiesis-supporting capacity of the stromal cells because the proliferation of HSCs was suppressed to a great extent by the anti-PA6 mAb. Affinity chromatography and mass peptide fingerprinting revealed that the protein reacting with the anti-PA6 mAb is neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM). The frequencies of long-term cobblestone area-forming cells and long-term culture-initiating cells were significantly suppressed by repression of NCAM in the FMS/PA6-P cells using NCAM small interfering RNA. Our findings clearly indicate that NCAM functions on the maintenance of HSCs.

Distinct Pattern of Human Vδ/51 γδ/5 T Cells Recognizing MICA

γδ T cells represent one unique recognition pattern, the limited recognition, which distinguishes from the specific recognition for αβ T cells and pattern recognition for macrophages. Vδ1 γδT cell is the major subset of human γδT cells, which predominates in mucosal tissue including the intestinal epithelia. Presently, a few antigens that human Vδ1TCR can recognize have been identified. Among them, MHC class I chain-related molecules A （MICA） have been studied most intensively. Besides Vδ1TCR, MICA is also the ligand of NKG2D, a C-type lectin-like activating immunoreceptor. In human, only Vδ1 cells can simultaneously express both types of receptors of MICA while NK cells, αβ T cells and other subsets of γδT cells likewise express NKG2D. Although the precise mechanisms are still enigmatic, this distinct pattern of Vδ1 cells recognizing MICA predicts unique biological significance of Vδ1 cells in immune defense. Recent years, some progresses have been made in this issue. In this review we summarize the related reports and put forward some novel views based on our group＇s studies.     

Immunoprophylaxis of Chlamydia trachomatis lymphogranuloma venereum pneumonitis in mice by oral immunization.

Groups of BALB/c mice were orally immunized with chlamydiae and challenged intranasally to determine whether oral immunization offers protection against pulmonary disease and to characterize the nature and kinetics of the chlamydial antibody response in the lung and other mucosal sites. Protection by oral immunization from chlamydial lung disease was demonstrated by lack of replication of the organism and the lack of chlamydial antigen in lung tissue. The chlamydial immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibody response was present at all body sites, reaching peak levels in the lung as well as in the serum. Classical IgA booster effect kinetics was observed after intranasal challenge, especially in the lung. Specific IgG antibody was detected at all body sites but at lower levels. Furthermore, animals immunized orally had no pneumonic process, as determined by histopathology. These studies also suggest that passively acquired specific serum IgG antibody may not significantly influence the course of mucosal replication of the organism. These observations indicate that oral immunization activating the gut-associated lymphoid tissue system gave total protection against chlamydial lung disease, suggesting migration of immunologically competent cells from the intestine to the lung.     

Cellular proliferation in the cerebral cortex following neural excitation in rats

Cortical spreading depression (SD) is characterized by propagation of neuronal/glial membrane depolarization throughout the unilateral cerebral cortex and has been linked to several neurological disorders, including migraine aura and epilepsy. SD induction resulted in a dramatic increase in BrdU-incorporated cells in the ipsilateral cortical hemisphere that was dependent on the number of elicited SD. Immunohistochemical studies revealed that 53% of the BrdU-labeled cells in the SD-generated cortex were NG2 immunopositive and 25% were OX-42 immunopositive. The remaining 22% of BrdU-incorporated cells showed no immunoreactivity to GST-rr, GFAP, NeuN, NG2 or OX-42.These data indicate that functional excitation of the cerebral cortex induces proliferative response in cortical cells, which may subsequently differentiate into glial progenitor or microglia within 3 days after stimulation.     

A novel bioactive 31-amino acid ET-1 peptide stimulates eosinophil recruitment and increases the levels of eotaxin and IL-5

OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN: Investigation of the role of a novel inflammatory mediator 31-amino acid endothelin-1 [ET-1 (1-31)], a major ET derivative in granulocytes, in eosinophil recruitment after its subcutaneous administration to mice. METHODS: Various ET-1 derivatives (100 pmol), with or without ET receptor antagonists (200 pmol), were administered subcutaneously to mice, and then the eosinophil migration into and chemokine levels in the injected loci were analyzed. RESULTS: ET-1 (1-31) and a 21-amino acid endothelin-1 (ET-1), but not big ET-1, induced eosinophil migration into the injected loci with a peak after administration for 12 h, and increased the levels of eotaxin and interleukin-5 with peaks at 6 and 24 h, respectively. These effects of ET-1(1-31) and ET-1 were significantly inhibited by an ETA receptor antagonist, BQ-123, but not by an ETB receptor antagonist, BQ-788. CONCLUSION: Novel bioactive ET-1 (1-31) induces local eosinophil migration, and increases in eotaxin and interleukin-5 through an ETA or ETA-like receptor.
