Induction of CD40 in Promyelocytic HL60 Cells Cultured with Retinoic Acid And/Or Various Cytokines1 J. Biochem. 118, 534-540 (1995) Induction of CD40 in Promyelocytic HL60 Cells Cultured with Retinoic Acid and/or Various Cytokines1 Toshie Shinagawa,2 Hiroyuki Nunoi, Shigeaki Nonoyama,3 and Shiro Kanegasaki4 The Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo, 4-6-1 Shirokanedai, Minato-ku, Tokyo 108 Received for publication, February 27, 1995 The antigenic protein CD40 on the surface of B lymphocytes plays an important role in their proliferation, immunoglobulin class switching, and rescue from apoptosis in the germinal center through interaction with T lymphocytes expressing CD40 ligand. The protein is also found on the cell surface of other antigen-presenting cells such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and thymic epithelium cells, but its presence in other myeloid cells has not been reported. We show here that CD40 protein is induced in promyelocytic HL60 cells, when cultured with retinoic acid, a vitamin that converts them to granulocyte-like cells. The cultured cells also expressed CD15, a marker for granulocytes, and cytochrome b558, an essential component of the superoxide-generating system in phagocytes, on their surface. No detectable amount of mRNA for CD40 was found in naive HL60 cells, whereas a large amount of the message was induced in the cells cultured with the vitamin. Although CD40 expression was enhanced when the cells were further cultured with GM-CSF or IFN-ƒÁ, expression of CD14, a marker for monocytes, was also enhanced. HL60 cells, therefore, express CD40 protein during differentiation not only toward monocytes but also toward granulocytes, at least transiently. Key words: CD40, CD40L, granulocyte, HL60 cell line, monocyte. Communication between members of the hematopoietic On the other hand, CD40L is expressed on CD4+ Tcells system is mediated by cytokines and by cell surface only when they are activated (3). It was shown that murine receptors that engage with membrane-bound counter-re transfectants expressing CD40 augmented proliferation of ceptors on other cells. CD40 and CD40 ligand (CD40L) a-CD3-treated CD4+ T cells that expressed CD40L (7). were identified as a pair of counter-receptors involved in B The reciprocal communication between APC and Tlympho and T lymphocyte interactions (3, 18).

To investigate its potential role in RA pathogenesis, we tested whether sCD14 binding transmits a signal to fibroblast-like synoviocytes from RA patients (RA-FLS). Methods: The induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and mediators by sCD14 stimulation of RA-FLS was quantified by real-time PCR and ELISA. Cell proliferation was assessed by the BrdU assay. LPS-RS, a Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) antagonist, was used to block TLR-4 signaling. Results: Soluble CD14 induced the expression of IL-6 mRNA and secretion of the protein.

Abstract IL-7 is a key factor in T-cell immunity and IL7R polymorphisms are implicated in autoimmune pathogenesis. IL7R mRNA is induced in stimulated monocytes in a genetically determined manner, yet a role for IL7R in monocyte biology remains unexplored. Here we characterize genetic regulation of IL7R at the protein level across multiple cell subsets and conditions in healthy individuals. We find monocyte surface and soluble IL7R (sIL7R) protein are markedly expressed in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We further demonstrate alleles of rs6897932, a non-synonymous IL7R polymorphism associated with susceptibility to Multiple Sclerosis, Ankylosing Spondylitis and Primary Biliary Cirrhosis, form the key determinant of both surface IL7R and sIL7R in the context of inflammation.

  • TLR3 Sensing of Viral Infection F
    The Open Infectious Diseases Journal, 2010, 4, 1-10 1 Open Access TLR3 Sensing of Viral Infection F. Dunlevy, N.G. McElvaney and C.M. Greene* Respiratory Research Division, Department of Medicine, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, Education and Research Centre, Beaumont Hospital, Dublin 9, Ireland Abstract: Viral infection is detected by the innate immune system which mounts a rapid semi-selective defence involving inflammation and production of type 1 interferons. Several sensors, both cell surface and intracellular, exist to detect different types of viral motifs. Double-stranded RNA viruses and dsRNA replication intermediates are detected by toll- like receptor 3 (TLR3) as well as by retinoid-inducible gene 1 (RIG-I) like receptors. Binding of dsRNA or its synthetic analogue poly I:C to TLR3 recruits the adaptor protein TRIF and stimulates distinct pathways leading to activation of interferon regulatory factor (IRF) and NF-B. Here, we review the signalling cascades initiated by TLR3 and the modulation of these pathways. Keywords: TLR3, virus, dsRNA, signalling, type 1 interferons, NF-B. TLR3: SENSING OF VIRAL INFECTION TLR3 LIGANDS Human cells are equipped with a range of pattern- The ligand for TLR3 was identified as dsRNA relatively recognition receptors (PRRs) which recognise microbial recently in 2001 [1, 6]. Eight families of dsRNA viruses pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), and mount exist including the rotaviruses which are implicated in infant innate immune responses following infection. Anti-viral mortality [7]. A further source of dsRNA is derived from the sensors can be broadly classified into two groups; toll-like replication of other RNA and DNA viruses which produce receptor family members and retinoid-inducible gene 1 dsRNA as a by-product of replication [8].
