The roots of Polygala tenuifolia Wild (Polygalaceae), which is among the most important components of traditional Chinese herbal medicine, have been widely used for over 1000 years to treat a variety of diseases. In the current investigation of secondary metabolites with anti-inflammatory properties from Korean medicinal plants, a phytochemical constituent study led to the isolation of 15 compounds (1–15) from the roots of P. tenuifolia via a combination of chromatographic methods. Their structures were determined by means of spectroscopic data such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 1D- and 2D-NMR, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). As the obtained results, the isolated compounds were divided into two groups—phenolic glycosides (1–9) and triterpenoid saponins (10–15). The anti-inflammatory effects of crude extracts, fractions, and isolated compounds were investigated on the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-12 p40, IL-6, and tumour necrosis factor-α in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated bone marrow-derived dendritic cells. The IC50 values, ranging from 0.08 ± 0.01 to 21.05 ± 0.40 μM, indicated potent inhibitory effects of the isolated compounds on the production of all three pro-inflammatory cytokines. In particular, compounds 3–12, 14, and 15 showed promising anti-inflammatory activity. These results suggest that phenolic and triterpenoid saponins from P. tenuifolia may be excellent anti-inflammatory agents.

BackgroundPrevious studies have shown that lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DClps) might induce tolerance in autoimmune and cancer models in vivo, whereas it remains unclear whether DClps could play a role in allergic disease model. Herein, we aimed to elucidate the potential effects of DClps on OVA-sensitized/challenged airway inflammation in a mouse model, which may help facilitate the application of specific tolerogenic dendritic cells (tolDC) in allergic asthma in the future.MethodsThe phenotype and function of immature DC (DCia), DClps or IL-10-activated-DC (DC10) were determined. OVA-sensitized/challenged mice were treated with OVA-pulsed DCia or DClps or DC10. We assessed the changes of histopathology, serum total IgE level, pulmonary signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT), pulmonary regulatory T cells (Tregs), and airway recall responses to OVA rechallenge, including proliferation and cytokine secretory function of pulmonary memory CD4+ T cells in the treated mice.ResultsDClps exhibited low levels of CD80 and MHCII and increased levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10 and TGF-β. Additionally, DClps treatment dramatically diminished infiltration of inflammatory cells, eosinophilia, serum IgE and STAT6 phosphorylation level, increased the number of pulmonary Tregs. In addition, DClps treatment decreased the proliferation of pulmonary memory CD4+ T cells, which further rendered the downregulation of Th2 cytokines in vitro.ConclusionLPS stimulation may lead to a tolerogenic phenotype on DC, and thereby alleviated the Th2 immune response of asthmatic mice, possibly by secreting anti-inflammatory cytokines, inhibiting pulmonary memory CD4+ T cells, downregulating pulmonary STAT6 phosphorylation level and increasing pulmonary Tregs.

The aim of this study was to analyse hypoxia-associated dendritic cells (DCs) in colitic mice and the effects of probiotics on interleukin (IL)-10 production in inflammatory DCs under hypoxic conditions. Extensive hypoxia was observed in the colonic mucosa of dextran sodium sulphate-induced colitic mice. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that hypoxia-inducible factor-1α+ DCs in colonic lamina propria (CLP) lymphocytes and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) were more abundant in colitic mice than those in controls. Among three subsets of DCs, i.e. plasmacytoid DCs, conventional DCs (cDCs), and monocyte-derived DCs (mDCs), cDCs and mDCs were more abundant in CLP of colitic mice. Bone marrow-derived Flt-3L-induced DCs (Flt-DCs) but not bone marrow-derived GM-CSF-induced DCs (GM-DCs), incubated with 1% O2 exhibited an inflammatory phenotype, with higher CD86, IL-6, and tumour necrosis factor-α expression, and lower IL-10 levels than those in Flt-DCs incubated with 21% O2. The hypoxia-induced decrease in IL-10 expression in Flt-DCs was restored by Bifidobacterium bifidum JCM 1255T promoted IL-10 expression through the p38 pathway under normoxic conditions. The anti-inflammatory effects of B. bifidum JCM 1255T in Flt-DCs were mediated through different cellular mechanisms under hypoxic and normoxic conditions. B. bifidum JCM 1255T could be used therapeutically for its anti-inflammatory effects.

The products of radiolysis released from cellular compartment under the influence of ionizing radiation: highly mobile groups of proteins, damaged nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, extracellular ATP and oxidized low density lipoproteins, cause stress activation in irradiated tissues through a pattern of the receptors with start of the cascade r53 and NF-κB of pro-inflammatory ways conducting to an expression of pro-inflammatory genes stimulating synthesis of cytokines of the IL-1 family. Excessive activation of pro-inflammatory way under the influence of a radioactive stress is limited to synthesis, anti-inflammatory cytokines: IL-4, IL-10, IL-11, IL-13 and also antagonists of IL-1 receptor and TGF-β. G-CSF and MG-CSF induced by action of pro-inflammatory cytokines have anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties decreasing level of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF. Glucocorticoids participate in regulation of primary radioactive stress, suppressing an excessive expression of genes of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Increased IL-1 level stimulates secretion of corticosteroids through mechanism of feedback. Adrenergic stimulation is capable to raise a gene IL-1β expression. The mechanism of radiation apoptosis of stem cells is implemented through p53-Puma way which blocks interaction anti-apoptotic proteins of Bcl-2 with pro-apoptotic proteins of Bax and Bak. After release from mitochondrion of cytochrome C and apoptosis-inducing factor there is an activation of effector caspases: caspases 3, 6 and 7 through caspase 9, and final cell destruction. Wnt way is crucial for post-radiation repair. Potential of the regenerative response of hemopoietic tissue to radiation injury depends on catenin and ability of Wnt way to stimulate post-radiation bone marrow reparation. Mesenchymal stem cells of bone marrow play a large role in post-radiation regeneration of hemopoietic tissue. Their main action is carried out through TLR2 and TLR4 receptors. Mobilization of hemopoietic stem cells is bound to release proteases from bone marrow, including neutrophil elastase and cathepsin G, and a matrix metalproteinase-9. Radioprotective properties of exogenous IL-1 aren’t limited only by induction of raised G-CSF and GM-CSF production. The larger role in radiation protection is played by the reaction induced by IL-1 in the form of feedback with production anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory factors. Primary radioactive stress limits time of radiomitigable effect of IL-1 by 1-2 h after its application after radiation.

Abstract Background Leukemic cells facilitate the creation of the tumor-favorable microenvironment in the bone marrow niche using their secreted factors. There are not comprehensive details about immunosuppressive properties of chronic myelogenous leukemia-derived exosomes in the bone marrow stromal and immune compartment. We explained here that K562-derived exosomes could affect the gene expression, cytokine secretion, nitric oxide (NO) production, and redox potential of human primary cord blood-derived T cells (CB T cells). Methods Human primary cord blood-derived T cells were treated with K562-derived exosomes. We evaluated the expression variation of some critical genes activated in suppressor T cells. The alterations of some inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines levels were assessed using ELISA assay and real-time PCR. Finally, NO production and intracellular ROS level in CB T cells were evaluated using Greiss assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Results Our results showed the over-expression of the genes involved in inhibitory T cells, including NQO1, PD1, and FoxP3. In contrast, genes involved in T cell activation such as CD3d and NFATc3 have been reduced significantly. Also, the expression of interleukin 10 (IL-10) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) mRNAs were significantly up-regulated in these cells upon exosome treatment. In addition, secretion of the interleukin 10, interleukin 6, and interleukin 17 (IL-17) proteins increased in T cells exposed to K562-derived exosomes. Finally, K562-derived exosomes induce significant changes in the NO production and intracellular ROS levels in CB T cells. Conclusions These results demonstrate that K562-derived exosomes stimulate the immunosuppressive properties in CB-derived T cells by inducing anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10, reducting ROS levels, and arising of NO synthesis in these cells. Moreover, considering the elevation of FOXP3, IL-6, and IL-17 levels in these cells, exosomes secreted by CML cells may induce the fates of T cells toward tumor favorable T cells instead of conventional activated T cells.

Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is the causal molecule of familial Parkinson’s disease. Although the characteristics of LRRK2 have gradually been revealed, its true physiological functions remain unknown. LRRK2 is highly expressed in immune cells such as B2 cells and macrophages, suggesting that it plays important roles in the immune system. In the present study, we investigate the roles of LRRK2 in the immune functions of dendritic cells (DCs). Bone marrow-derived DCs from both C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) and LRRK2 knockout (KO) mice were induced by culture with granulocyte/macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM/CSF) in vitro. We observed the differentiation of DCs, the phosphorylation of the transcriptional factors NF-κB, Erk1/2, and p-38 after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation and antigen-presenting ability by flow cytometry. We also analyzed the production of inflammatory cytokines by ELISA. During the observation period, there was no difference in DC differentiation between WT and LRRK2-KO mice. After LPS stimulation, phosphorylation of NF-κB was significantly increased in DCs from the KO mice. Large amounts of inflammatory cytokines were produced by DCs from KO mice after both stimulation with LPS and infection with Leishmania. CD4+ T-cells isolated from antigen-immunized mice proliferated to a significantly greater degree upon coculture with antigen-stimulated DCs from KO mice than upon coculture with DCs from WT mice. These results suggest that LRRK2 may play important roles in signal transduction and antigen presentation by DCs.
