Chemokine receptor CCR6 as a prognostic factor after hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma

Background and Aims: Chemokines and their receptors have recently been shown to have major roles in cancer metastasis. The aim of this study was to determine whether the interaction between chemokine receptor 6 (CCR6) and its ligand, macrophage inflammatory protein‐3 alpha (MIP‐3α), correlates with metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: To observe the reaction of CCR6 expressed cancer cells to MIP‐3α stimulation, chemotactic and actin polymerization assays for both CCR6 high cells (HepG2) and CCR6 low cells (MCF‐7) were performed. CCR6 mRNA levels in tumor specimens from 30 HCC patients were quantified by real‐time polymerase chain reaction. Patients were classified into two groups, high (≥ 20 copies; n = 10) CCR6 and low (<20 copies; n = 20) CCR6 on the basis of CCR6 expression, and the groups were compared with respect to clinicopathological features. Results: When HepG2 cells (CCR6 high) were stimulated with MIP‐3α, they migrated in a dose‐dependent manner, and formation of pseudopodia was observed. These phenomena were not observed in the CCR6 low cells. The incidence of intrahepatic metastasis was higher in the high CCR6 expression group than in the low CCR6 expression group (P < 0.05). Disease‐free survival was significantly poorer in the high CCR6 expression group than in the low CCR6 expression group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: It was indicated that CCR6 might be associated with intrahepatic metastasis of HCC and might be able to become one of the prognostic factor after hepatic resection for HCC.     

Pulmonary surfactant proteins and lipids as modulators of inflammation and innate immunity

Objectives: The pulmonary surfactant system of the human lung consists of unique lipids and proteins that contribute to the biophysical and innate immune properties of the organ. Surfactant protein A (SP‐A) is an oligomeric protein consisting of 18 protomers with collagen and lectin–like domains that recognizes glycoconjugates, lipids and protein determinants on both host cells and invading microorganisms. The authors examined the interaction of SP‐A with Mycoplasma pneumoniae and the influence of the protein upon the innate immune response to the bacteria. Methodology: The authors quantified SP‐A interaction with bacteria using ELISA, and identified the major surface ligand by thin layer chromatography, HPLC and mass spectrometry. The inflammatory response of human and rat macrophages was measured by quantifying tumour necrosis factor‐α secretion using ELISA, and nitric oxide production. Results: SP‐A bound the bacteria with high affinity and enhanced the inflammatory response of human and rat macrophages to the organism and its membranes. Analysis of the interaction of SP‐A with the bacteria revealed that the major ligand was a phospholipid. The lipid ligand was purified by a combination of thin layer and HPLC, and identified by mass spectrometry. The mass spectrometry demonstrated that the SP‐A reactive lipid consisted of several disaturated molecular species of phosphatidylglycerol (PtdGro). Additional experiments were performed to determine if disaturated PtdGro was capable of interfering with the action of SP‐A as an inhibitor of bacterial lipopolysaccharide‐induced inflammatory mediator production by macrophages. The disaturated PtdGro failed to alter the anti‐inflammatory action of SP‐A but unexpectedly these same studies revealed that unsaturated PtdGro can modify the host response to lipopolysaccharide. Conclusions: These findings reveal that both the lipids and proteins of pulmonary surfactant play a role in regulating the host response to invading microorganisms.     

Pathological effects on mice by gambierol, possibly one of the ciguatera toxins

Gambierol was isolated from Gambierdiscus toxicus, which causes ciguatera fish poisoning. The acute toxicological effects induced in mice by synthesized gambierol were studied. The lethal doses were about 80 μg/kg by i.p. and i.v., and 150 μg/kg by p.o. The main injury by this toxin was observed in the lung, and secondary in the heart, resulting in systemic congestion. Another toxic effect was seen in the stomach, inducing hypersecretion and ulceration. With survival from the severe stage during the initial 3 h, recovery was favorable, especially after 4 days. Additional effects were not evident during 1-week post-administration observation.

Macrophage Depletion Suppresses Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy in Mice

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a major source of late posttransplant mortality. Although numerous cell types are implicated in the pathogenesis of CAV, it is unclear which cells actually induce the vascular damage that results in intimal proliferation. Because macrophages are abundant in CAV lesions and are capable of producing growth factors implicated in neointimal proliferation, they are leading end-effector candidates. Macrophages were depleted in a murine heterotopic cardiac transplant system known to develop fulminant CAV lesions. C57BL/6 hearts were transplanted into (C57BL/6 x BALB/c)F(1) recipients, which then received anti-macrophage therapy with intraperitoneal carrageenan or i.v. gadolinium. Intraperitoneal carrageenan treatment depleted macrophages by 30-80% with minimal effects upon T, B or NK cells as confirmed by flow cytometry and NK cytotoxicity assays. Carrageenan treatment led to a 70% reduction in the development of CAV, as compared to mock-treated controls (p = 0.01), which correlated with the degree of macrophage depletion. Inhibition of macrophage phagocytosis alone with gadolinium failed to prevent CAV. Macrophages may represent the end-effector cells in a final common pathway towards CAV independent of T-cell or B-cell alloreactivity and exert their injurious effects through mechanisms related to cytokine/growth factor production rather than phagocytosis.
