AB  - Intrinsic characteristics of melanoma cells such as expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), redox status, and activity of signaling pathways involved in proliferation, differentiation and cell death define the response of the cells to the diverse treatments. In this context we compared the effectiveness of herbal antaquinone aloe emodin (AE) against mouse B16 melanoma and human A375, different in initial activity of ERK1/2, constitutive iNOS expression and basal level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Both cell lines are sensitive to AE treatment. However, while the agent induces differentiation of B16 cells toward melanocytes, in A375 cells promoted massive apoptosis. Differentiation of B16 cells, characterized by enhanced melanin production and tyrosinase activity, was mediated by H2O2 production synchronized with rapid p53 accumulation and enhanced expression of cyclins D1 and D3. Caspase mediated apoptosis triggered in A375 cells was accompanied with Bcl-2 but not iNOS down-regulation. In addition, opposite regulation of Akt-ERK1/2 axis in AE treated B16 and A375 cells correlated with different outcome of the treatment. However, AE in a dose-dependent manner rescued both B16 and A375 cells from doxorubicin- or paclitaxel-induced killing. These data indicate that caution is warranted when AE is administrated to the patients with conventional chemotherapy. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB  - Albino Oxford (AO) rats are resistant to induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), in contrast to susceptible Dark Agouti (DA) rats. We have previously shown that draining lymph node cells (DLNC) obtained from immunized DA rats before the onset of the clinical disease produced more interferon (IFN)-gamma and interleukin (IL)-17 (signature cytokines of T(H)1 and T(H)17 responses, respectively) compared to DLNC from AO rats. In this study, we extend our analysis to entire induction phase of EAE with the emphasis on the T(H)1 and T(H)17-inducing cytokines. As a result, we show that throughout the inductive phase of the disease DLNC of DA rats, not only expressed higher levels of IFN-gamma and IL-17, but also of T(H)1-inducing cytokine-IL-12. As for T(H)17-inducing cytokines, DLNC of DA rats expressed more mRNA for p19, specific subunit of IL-23, but the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta in both strains was similar. Interestingly, the analysis of IL-6 expression revealed striking difference: while all DA DLNC were positive for IL-6 mRNA, cells from none of AO rats expressed detectable levels of mRNA for this cytokine. Taken together, our data suggest that the differential regulation of production of T(H)1 and T(H)17 cytokines, and IL-6 in particular, during the induction phase of disease could be responsible for the discrepancy in susceptibility to EAE between these two rat strains.

AB  - Background: Interleukin-17 (IL-17)-producing cells are increasingly considered to be the major pathogenic population in various autoimmune disorders. The effects of glucocorticoids, widely used as therapeutics for inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, on IL-17 generation have not been thoroughly investigated so far. Therefore, we have explored the influence of methylprednisolone (MP) on IL-17 expression in rat lymphocytes, and compared it to the effect of the drug on interferon (IFN)-gamma. Results: Production of IL-17 in mitogen-stimulated lymph node cells (LNC) from non-treated rats, as well as in myelin basic protein (MBP)-stimulated draining LNC from rats immunized with spinal cord homogenate and complete Freund's adjuvant was significantly reduced by MP. The reduction was dose-dependent, sustained through the follow-up period of 48 hours, and was not achieved through anti-proliferative effect. Additionally, MP inhibited IL-17 production in purified T cells as well, but to less extent than in LNC. In its influence on IL-17 production MP inhibited Ror-gamma T transcription factor expression, as well as Jun phosphorylation, but not ERK or p38 activation in mitogen-stimulated LNC. Importantly, MP collaborated with IFN-gamma in inhibiting IL-17 generation in LNC. Conclusion: The observed difference in the effect of MP on IL-17 and IFN-gamma could be important for the understanding of the variability in the efficiency of glucocorticoids in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

AB  - Astrocytes play important roles in the complex and as yet not very well understood net of interactions among resident and infiltrating cells during central nervous system (CNS) inflammation. In such an intricate network, cytokines represent an essential means for intercellular communication, and astrocytes are able to affect their generation and/or release. Among various cytokines produced by infiltrating cells, interferon (IFN)-gamma and interleukin (IL)-17 are the focus of this research, because they are pivotal cytokines of helper T-cell type 1 (Th1) and helper T-cell type 17 (Th17), respectively. Importantly, both Th1 and Th17 cells, as well as their cytokines, have been shown to be of importance for the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of a prototypical CNS disease with inflammatory pathogenesis, multiple sclerosis. Therefore, the influence of astrocytes on the generation of IFN-gamma and IL-17 in concanavalin A- and myelin basic protein-stimulated lymph node cells of healthy rats and rats with developing EAE, respectively, was investigated in vitro. Astrocytes up-regulated IL-17 and IFN-gamma gene expression and protein synthesis in T cells, which coincided with astrocytes' ability to express IL-23 subunit p19 and common IL-12/IL-23 subunit p40 but not IL-12 subunit p35 in the cocultivations. These results suggest one more way in which astrocytes could contribute to the complex interactions during CNS inflammation. (C) 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

AB  - Albino Oxford (AO) rats, unlike Dark Agouti (DA) rats are resistant to the induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). The reason for the resistance could be some restraining mechanism preventing auto-aggressive cell activation at the level of draining lymph nodes (DLN) during the induction phase of the disease. Such a mechanism could be anti-proliferative action of nitric oxide (NO), which has already been shown of importance for the resistance of several rat strains to the induction of the disease. Importantly, number of AO DLN cells (DLNC) is markedly lower and with lower proliferative response to myelin basic protein (MBP) ex vivo in comparison to DA DLNC in the inductive phase of EAE, thus implying that in AO rats DLNC do not proliferate as extensively as in DA rats. We show that AO rats do not produce larger quantities of NO than DA rats after immunization. Further, DLNC of immunized AO rats have significantly lower mRNA expression and synthesis of interferon (IFN)-gamma and interleukin (IL)-17 compared to DLNC of DA rats. Collectively, these results suggest that there is a substantial difference between EAE-resistant AO rats and EAE-prone DA rats in the initiation of autoimmune response. This difference seems to be independent of anti- proliferative actions of NO, but correlates with impaired IL-17 production in AO rats. (c) 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

AB  - Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a well-recognized model for multiple sclerosis (MS) in humans. However, adjuvants used with encephalitogens to induce EAE produce non-specific effects interfering with the mechanisms involved in the autoimmune response to the central nervous system (CNS) tissue. It is therefore important to establish a more suitable model of EAE for analysis of autoimmune phenomena resembling those operative in MS. Here we report that EAE can be induced regularly in Dark Agouti (DA) strain of rats with spinal cord tissue without any adjuvant, as judged by both clinical and histological parameters. The incidence and severity of EAE depended on the origin of the encephalitogen, the rat versus guinea pig spinal cord homogenate being more efficient. Furthermore, EAE could be reinduced in animals which had recovered from disease that had been induced actively with encephalitogen alone, suggesting the role of adjuvant-generated non-specific mechanisms in resistance to reinduction of EAE. Thus, EAE induced in DA rats with encephalitogen alone provides a reproducible model for defining pathogenically relevant events in CNS autoimmunity devoid of the potentially misleading effects of adjuvants.

AB  - Although astrocytes presumably participate in maintaining the immune privilege of the central nervous system (CNS), the mechanisms behind their immunoregulatory properties are still largely undefined. In this study, we describe the development of regulatory T cells upon contact with astrocytes. Rat T cells pre-incubated with astrocytes completely lost the ability to proliferate in response to mitogenic stimuli. The cells were blocked in G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle, expressed less IL-2R, and produced significantly lower amounts of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), but not interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-10, or tumor necrosis factor (TNF). These anergic cells completely prevented mitogen-induced growth of normal T lymphocytes, as well as CNS antigen-driven proliferation of autoreactive T cells. The suppressive activity resided in both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell compartments. Heat-sensitive soluble T-cell factors, not including transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) or IL-10, were solely responsible for the observed suppression, as well as for the transfer of suppressive activity to normal T cells. The administration of astrocyte-induced regulatory T cells markedly alleviated CNS inflammation and clinical symptoms of CNS autoimmunity in rats with experimental allergic encephalomyelitis. Finally, the cells with suppressive properties were readily generated from human lymphocytes after contact with astrocytes. Taken together, these data indicate that astrocyte-induced regulatory T cells might represent an important mechanism for self-limitation of excessive inflammation in the brain.

AB  - The immunomodulatory potential of tiazofurin (TR) on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) was investigated. Given continuously, TR dose-dependently suppressed the development of EAE in Dark Agouti (DA) rats immunized with either rat spinal cord homogenate (SCH) or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG). Amelioration of clinical signs was also obtained when the drug was administered during the inductive phase only (day 0 to 8), or during the effector phase (day 10 to 20) of the disease. Efficacy of TR was further evaluated by adoptive transfer of the disease with myelin basic protein (MBP)-sensitized draining lymph node cells (DLNC). Cells from TR-protected rats failed to transfer the disease into naive syngeneic recipients; in addition, TR treatment of recipient rats that had received MBP-sensitized lymphoid cells diminished the adoptively transferred EAE. A reduction of clinical EAE in TR-treated rats was accompanied with the absence of mononuclear infiltration in the spinal cord and defective adhesive cell-cell interactions. The anti-MOG autoAb production was also decreased. Importantly, no evidence for a generalized impairment of the T cell activity, nor decreased in vitro proliferative antigen specific response of LNC from TR-treated animals was found. These results suggest that TR exerts its EAE protective and suppressive effects by limiting adhesive interactions involved in the autoimmune pathogenic process, and due to the lack of general immunosuppressive activity, it should be considered as a candidate drug for the treatment of neuroinflammatory diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS).

AB  - The effect of interleukin-17 (IL-17) on production of nitric oxide (NO) in rodent astrocytes was investigated. While IL-17 by itself did not induce NO production, it caused a dose-dependent enhancement of IFN-gamma-triggered NO synthesis in both mouse and rat primary astrocytes. In contrast, IL-17 was unable to stimulate NO synthesis in either murine or rat macrophages. IFN-gamma-triggered expression of mRNA for iNOS, but not for its transcription factor interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1), was markedly elevated in IL-17-treated astrocytes. The induction of iNOS mRNA by IL-17 in IFN-gamma-pretreated astrocytes was abolished by antagonists of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation--a proteasome inhibitor MG132 and an antioxidant agent PDTC, as well as with specific p38 MAP kinase inhibitor SB203580. While IL-17 stimulated both IL-1beta and IL-6 production in astrocytes, only IL-1 was partly responsible for IL-17-induced NO release. Finally, IL-17 synergized with exogenous IL-1beta and TNF-alpha for astrocyte NO production. Having in mind a well-known neurotoxic action of NO, these results suggest a possible role for IL-17 in the inflammatory diseases of the CNS.
