Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a highly disabling disease that affects all structures of the joint and significantly impacts on morbidity and mortality in RA patients. RA is characterized by persistent inflammation of the synovial membrane lining the joint associated with infiltration of immune cells. Eighty to 90% of the leukocytes infiltrating the synovia are neutrophils. The specific role that neutrophils play in the onset of RA is not clear, but recent studies have evidenced that they have an important participation in joint damage and disease progression through the release of proteolytic enzymes, reactive oxygen species (ROS), cytokines, and neutrophil extracellular traps, in particular during frustrated phagocytosis of immune complexes (ICs). In addition, the local and systemic activation of the complement system contributes to the pathogenesis of RA and other IC-mediated diseases. This review discusses (i) the participation of Fc and complement receptors in mediating the effector functions of neutrophils in RA; (ii) the contribution of the complement system and ROS-dependent and ROS-independent mechanisms to joint damage in RA; and (iii) the use of plant extracts, dietary compounds, and isolated natural compounds in the treatment of RA, focusing on modulation of the effector functions of neutrophils and the complement system activity and/or activation. 1.

  • CD64-Neutrophil Expression and Stress Metabolic Patterns in Early
    Fitrolaki et al. BMC Pediatrics 2013, 13:31 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2431/13/31 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access CD64-Neutrophil expression and stress metabolic patterns in early sepsis and severe traumatic brain injury in children Diana-Michaela Fitrolaki1, Helen Dimitriou2, Maria Kalmanti2 and George Briassoulis1* Abstract Background: Critical illness constitutes a serious derangement of metabolism. The aim of our study was to compare acute phase metabolic patterns in children with sepsis (S) or severe sepsis/septic shock (SS) to those with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and healthy controls (C) and to evaluate their relations to neutrophil, lymphocyte and monocyte expressions of CD64 and CD11b. Methods: Sixty children were enrolled in the study. Forty-five children with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) were classified into three groups: TBI (n = 15), S (n = 15), and SS (n = 15). C consisted of 15 non- SIRS patients undergoing screening tests for minor elective surgery. Blood samples were collected within 6 hours after admission for flow cytometry of neutrophil, lymphocyte and monocyte expression of CD64 and CD11b (n = 60). Procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), glucose, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high (HDL) or low-density-lipoproteins (LDL) were also determined in all groups, and repeated on day 2 and 3 in the 3 SIRS groups (n = 150). Results: CRP, PCT and TG (p < 0.01) were significantly increased in S and SS compared to TBI and C; glucose did not differ among critically ill groups. Significantly lower were the levels of TC, LDL, and HDL in septic groups compared to C and to moderate changes in TBI (p < 0.0001) but only LDL differed between S and SS (p < 0.02).

  • Macrophages in Inflammatory Multiple Sclerosis Lesions Have An
    Vogel et al. Journal of Neuroinflammation 2013, 10:35 JOURNAL OF http://www.jneuroinflammation.com/content/10/1/35 NEUROINFLAMMATION RESEARCH Open Access Macrophages in inflammatory multiple sclerosis lesions have an intermediate activation status Daphne YS Vogel1,2, Elly JF Vereyken1, Judith E Glim1, Priscilla DAM Heijnen1, Martina Moeton1, Paul van der Valk2, Sandra Amor2,3, Charlotte E Teunissen4, Jack van Horssen1 and Christine D Dijkstra1* Abstract Background: Macrophages play a dual role in multiple sclerosis (MS) pathology. They can exert neuroprotective and growth promoting effects but also contribute to tissue damage by production of inflammatory mediators. The effector function of macrophages is determined by the way they are activated. Stimulation of monocyte-derived macrophages in vitro with interferon-γ and lipopolysaccharide results in classically activated (CA/M1) macrophages, and activation with interleukin 4 induces alternatively activated (AA/M2) macrophages. Methods: For this study, the expression of a panel of typical M1 and M2 markers on human monocyte derived M1 and M2 macrophages was analyzed using flow cytometry. This revealed that CD40 and mannose receptor (MR) were the most distinctive markers for human M1 and M2 macrophages, respectively. Using a panel of M1 and M2 markers we next examined the activation status of macrophages/microglia in MS lesions, normal appearing white matter and healthy control samples. Results: Our data show that M1 markers, including CD40, CD86, CD64 and CD32 were abundantly expressed by microglia in normal appearing white matter and by activated microglia and macrophages throughout active demyelinating MS lesions. M2 markers, such as MR and CD163 were expressed by myelin-laden macrophages in active lesions and perivascular macrophages.

We previously showed that a 4.7-kb tra-2 mRNA, which encodes the membrane protein TRA-2A, provides the primary feminizing activity of the tra-2 locus. This paper focuses on the germ-line activity and regulation of tra-2. First, we characterize a 1.8-kb tra-2 mRNA, which is hermaphrodite-specific and germ-line-dependent. This mRNA encodes TRA-2B, a protein identical to a predicted intracellular domain of TRA-2A. We show that the 1.8-kb mRNA is oocyte-specific, suggesting that it is involved in germ-line or embryonic sex determination. Second, we identify a tra-2 maternal effect on brood size that may be associated with the 1.8-kb mRNA. Third, we investigate seven dominant tra-2(mx) (for mixed character) mutations that sexually transform hermaphrodites to females by eliminating hermaphrodite spermatogenesis. Each of the tra-2(mx) mutants possesses a nonconserved missense change in a 22-amino-acid region common to both TRA-2A and TRA-2B, called the MX region.

One mouse RCA gene, designatedMCR2 (or Cr2), encodes alternatively spliced 21 and 15 short consensus repeat (SCR)-containing transcripts that crosshybridize with cDNAs of both human CR2 and CR1, or CR2 alone, respectively. A five SCR-containing transcript derived from a second unique gene, designated Crry, also crosshybridizes with human CR1. We have previously shown that the 155-kD MCR2 is encoded by the 15 SCR-containing transcript. To analyze the protein products of the other transcripts, which are considered the genetic homologues of human CRI, we have expressed the 21 and the 5 SCR-containing cDNAs in the human K562 erythroleukemia cell line. We demonstrate that cells expressing the 21 SCK transcript express the 190-kD MCR1 protein. These cells react with five unique rat anti-MCR1 monodonal antibodies, including the 8C12 antibody considered to be monospecific for MCK1.

Purpose. )is study aimed to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) by bioinformatics. Methods. Using the microarray dataset GSE72267 from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, which included 40 blood samples from PD patients and 19 matched controls, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified after data preprocessing, followed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, microRNA- (miRNA-) target regulatory network, and transcription factor- (TF-) target regulatory networks were constructed. Results. Of 819 DEGs obtained, 359 were upregulated and 460 were downregulated. Two GO terms, “rRNA processing” and “cytoplasm,” and two KEGG pathways, “metabolic pathways” and “TNF signaling pathway,” played roles in PD development. Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) was the hub node in the PPI network; hsa- miR-7-5p, hsa-miR-433-3p, and hsa-miR-133b participated in PD pathogenesis.
