In this study, we demonstrate that KitW-sh causes aberrant extramedul- Downloaded from lary myelopoiesis characterized by the expansion of immature lineage-negative cells, common myeloid progenitors, and granulocyte/macrophage progenitors in the spleen. A consistent feature shared by these cell types is the reduced expression of c-Kit. Populations expressing intermediate and high levels of Ly6G, a component of the myeloid differentiation Ag Gr-1, are also highly expanded in the spleen of sash mice. These cells are able to suppress T cell responses in vitro and phenotypically and functionally resemble myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC). MDSC typically accumulate in tumor-bearing hosts and are able to dampen immune responses. Consequently, transfer of MDSC from naive sash mice into line 1 alveolar cell carcinoma tumor- http://www.jimmunol.org/ bearing wild-type littermates leads to enhanced tumor progression.

Abstract: S100A9, a Ca2+-binding protein, is tightly associated to neutrophil pro-inflammatory functions when forming a heterodimer with its S100A8 partner. Upon secretion into the extracellular environment, these proteins behave like damage-associated molecular pattern molecules, which actively participate in the amplification of the inflammation process by recruitment and activation of pro-inflammatory cells. Intracellular functions have also been attributed to the S100A8/A9 complex, notably its ability to regulate nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activation. However, the complete functional spectrum of S100A8/A9 at the intracellular level is far from being understood. In this context, we here investigated the possibility that the absence of Citation: Zhou, Y.; Hann, J.; intracellular S100A8/A9 is involved in cytokine secretion.

  • Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling-1 Peptidomimetic Limits Progression of Diabetic Nephropathy

Chronic activation of Janus kinase and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling contributes to diabetic nephropathy by inducing genes involved in leukocyte infiltration, cell proliferation, and extracellular matrix accumulation. This study examined whether a cell-permeable peptide mimicking the kinase-inhibitory region of suppressor of cy- tokine signaling-1 (SOCS1) regulatory protein protects against nephropathy by suppressing STAT-mediated cell responses to diabetic conditions. In a mouse model combining hyperglycemia and hypercholesterolemia (streptozotocin diabetic, apoE-deficient mice), renal STAT activation status correlated with the severity of nephropathy. Notably, compared with administration of vehicle or mutant inactive peptide, administration of the SOCS1 peptidomimetic at either early or advanced stages of diabetes ameliorated STAT activity and resulted in reduced serum creatinine level, albuminuria, and renal histologic changes (mesangial expansion, tubular injury, and fibrosis) over time. Mice treated with the SOCS1 peptidomimetic also exhibited reduced kidney leukocyte recruitment (T lymphocytes and classic M1 proinflammatory macrophages) and decreased expression levels of proinflammatory and profibrotic markers that were independent of glycemic and lipid changes.

Loughner1, Elspeth A. Bruford2, Monica S. McAndrews3, Emili E. Delp1, Sudha Swamynathan1 and Shivalingappa K. Swamynathan1,4,5,6,7* Abstract Members of the lymphocyte antigen-6 (Ly6)/urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) superfamily of proteins are cysteine-rich proteins characterized by a distinct disulfide bridge pattern that creates the three-finger Ly6/uPAR (LU) domain. Although the Ly6/uPAR family proteins share a common structure, their expression patterns and functions vary. To date, 35 human and 61 mouse Ly6/uPAR family members have been identified. Based on their subcellular localization, these proteins are further classified as GPI-anchored on the cell membrane, or secreted. The genes encoding Ly6/uPAR family proteins are conserved across different species and are clustered in syntenic regions on human chromosomes 8, 19, 6 and 11, and mouse Chromosomes 15, 7, 17, and 9, respectively. Here, we review the human and mouse Ly6/uPAR family gene and protein structure and genomic organization, expression, functions, and evolution, and introduce new names for novel family members.

Since inhibition of LY6K expression inhibits cancer cell growth, we set out to explore whether pharmacological inhibition of LY6K could produce the same effect. We screened small molecule libraries for direct binding to recombinant LY6K protein in a surface plasmon resonance assay. We found that NSC243928 directly binds to the full-length and mature forms of LY6K and inhibits growth of HeLa cells that express LY6K.

  • Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in Non-Neoplastic Inflamed Organs
    Sendo et al. Inflammation and Regeneration (2018) 38:19 Inflammation and Regeneration https://doi.org/10.1186/s41232-018-0076-7 REVIEW Open Access Myeloid-derived suppressor cells in non- neoplastic inflamed organs Sho Sendo1, Jun Saegusa1,2 and Akio Morinobu1* Abstract Background: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a highly heterogeneous population of immature myeloid cells with immunosuppressive function. Although their function in tumor-bearing conditions is well studied, less is known about the role of MDSCs in various organs under non-neoplastic inflammatory conditions. Main body: MDSCs are divided into two subpopulations, G-MDSCs and M-MDSCs, and their distribution varies between organs. MDSCs negatively control inflammation in inflamed organs such as the lungs, joints, liver, kidneys, intestines, central nervous system (CNS), and eyes by suppressing T cells and myeloid cells. MDSCs also regulate fibrosis in the lungs, liver, and kidneys and help repair CNS injuries. MDSCs in organs are plastic and can differentiate into osteoclasts and tolerogenic dendritic cells according to the microenvironment under non-neoplastic inflammatory conditions. Conclusion: This article summarizes recent findings about MDSCs under inflammatory conditions, especially with respect to their function and differentiation in specific organs.

ABSTRACT Pancreatic cancer ranks one of the worst in overall survival outcome with a 5 year survival rate being less than 10%. Pancreatic cancer faces unique challenges in its diagnosis and treatment, such as the lack of clinically validated biomarkers and the immensely immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Recently, the LY6 gene family has received increasing attention for its multi-faceted roles in cancer development, stem cell maintenance, immunomodulation, and association with more aggressive and hard-to-treat cancers.

Glycoproteins, mucin2 Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the (MUC2) and the LY6/PLAUR domain containing 8 (LYPD8) colon characterized by recurrent periods of clinical remission are present on the mucous layer of the colon and can hinder and disease relapse (1). The incidence of colorectal cancer is the invasion of bacteria, thus contributing to the prevention increasing, and UC is a risk factor of colorectal cancer (2,3). of colitis. The present study investigated the expression levels Despite advances in therapeutic options, in a cohort study of interleukin-8 (IL-8), MUC2 and LYPD8 on the mucous conducted in New Zealand between 2005 and 2015, 2.7% of all membranes of patients with UC. A total of 18 patients with patients with UC went onto develop colorectal cancer (4). UC has UC (6 females and 12 males) were examined. Biopsies of the a marked negative impact on the quality of life of the patients.
