Effect of platelet-activating factor on secretion of mucous glycoprotein from chinchilla middle ear epithelial cells in vitro

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a naturally occurring phospholipid that acts as a pleiotropic mediator and mediates cell-cell reactions under physiological and pathological conditions. Recently, it has been shown that PAF is a strong secretagogue of mucous glycoprotein in the airways, suggesting its role in mucous glycoprotein secretion and the pathogenesis of otitis media with effusion. In the current study, we examined the effect of PAF on mucous glycoprotein secretion in cultured chinchilla middle ear epithelial cells. PAF at 1 M significantly stimulated mucous glycoprotein secretion from cultured chinchilla middle ear epithelial cells. This action was concentration-dependent, with secretions reaching near maximum when the cells were incubated with PAF at 100 M. In a time-dependent study, PAF demonstrated an initial rapid stimulation of mucous glycoprotein secretion, followed by a gradual increase thereafter. A six-fold increase was seen in the first 2 h compared with controls. Cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, demonstrated an inhibitory effect on PAF-stimulated mucous glycoprotein secretion in this study. These findings suggest that PAF plays an important role in the pathogenesis of otitis media with effusion by stimulating mucous glycoprotein secretion in vitro.Supported by NIH grant P0I-D000133 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.     

Tumor-associated lymphocytes (TAL) are competent to produce higher levels of cytokines in neoplastic pleural and peritoneal effusions than those found in sera and are able to release into culture higher levels of IL-2 and IL-6 than those released by PBMC

This work was designed to study the proliferative response of tumor-associated lymphocytes (TAL) from neoplastic effusions against autologous tumor cells and the immunophenotype pattern of TAL from neoplastic effusions and that of PBMC of the same patients. We also compared the serum levels of the cytokines interleukin (IL) 1, 2 and 6, tumor necrosis factor- (TNF) and soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R) with those present in neoplastic effusions of the same patients. Moreover, we examined the ability of TAL and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to produce and release the cytokines and sIL-2R and to express membrane CD25 following their stimulation with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in vitro. Finally, we compared the cytokines/sIL-2R production and membrane CD25 expression by PHA-stimulated PBMC of the patients with neoplastic effusions with a series of 90 cancer patients without neoplastic effusions and 20 normal healthy subjects. Thirteen neoplastic pleural and eight peritoneal effusions were collected from 11 patients with primary lung cancer, 7 with primary epithelial ovarian cancer, 1 with breast cancer, 1 with pleural mesothelioma, and 1 with pancreatic cancer. The proliferative response of TAL from neoplastic effusions against autologous tumor cells was lower than the response to PHA, IL-2, and anti-CD3, but significant. The percentage distribution of CD3⁺ and CD8⁺ lymphocyte subpopulations was higher in peritoneal than in pleural effusions, while the CD16⁺ subset was higher in pleural than in peritoneal effusions. The percentage distribution of CD16⁺ was significantly lower in pleural effusions than in PBMC of patients with pleural effusions. The CD39 antigen was higher on TAL from peritoneal effusions than on PBMC of the same patients. The levels of IL-1 and sIL-2R in peritoneal effusions did not differ from those measured in the sera of the same patients, while the levels of IL-2, IL-6, and TNF were higher in the peritoneal effusions. The levels of IL-2, IL-6, TNF, and sIL-2R, but not IL-1, in pleural effusions were significantly higher than those found in the sera of the same patients. The amounts of IL-2 and IL-6 produced by TAL were generally higher than those released by PBMC. The secretion of cytokines IL-1, IL-2, and sIL2R by PHA-stimulated PBMC was lower, but IL-1 and IL-6 secretion was higher in cancer patients with neoplastic effusions than in either cancer patients without neoplastic effusions or normal subjects. The CD25 expression on PHA-stimulated PBMC derived from cancer patients with neoplastic effusions was in the same range as that of cancer patients without neoplastic effusions and normal subjects. These findings suggest that TAL may be able to produce cytokines and may be amenable to immune manipulation.Abbreviations FITC Fluorescein-isothiocyanate - IL Interleukin - mAb Monoclonal antibody - MHC Major histocompatibility complex - NK Natural killer - PBMC Peripheral blood mononuclear cells - PHA Phytohemagglutinin - TAL Tumor-associated lymphocytes - TIL Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes - TNF Tumor necrosis factor- - sIL-2R Soluble interleukin-2 receptor

Do we need to treat otitis media?

Otitis media is a common pediatric problem. It is well established that over half of infants and children with acute otitis media may have spontaneous recovery. Since it is difficult to predict the course (self-limited versus serious disease) all the children with acute suppurative otitis media need to be treated with antibiotics. Amoxicillin is still the initial antibiotic of choice. There are several alternate antibiotics available with activity against beta-lactamase positive bacteria. These agents have no advantage over amoxicillin in infections due to penicillin resistant pneumococci. Recent use of beta-lactam antibiotics and/or attendance in a day care where there is frequent use of antibiotics are predisposing factors for penicillin resistant pneumococcal infection. In such cases after tympanocentesis, higher dose of amoxicillin, clindamycin or intramuscular ceftriaxone should be considered. Secretory otitis media does not need to be treated with antibiotics unless the patient is in high risk group. Prophylactic use of antibiotics should be actively discouraged. Influenza and pneumococcal vaccination (2 years or older) should be encouraged in children with recurrent episodes of acute otitis media. Breast feeding should be encouraged.
