Antirheumatic Agent

Thymocytes that express the complete CD3−T-cell receptor (TCR) complex are CD4− and CD8−. The CD4+ T-cell population can be subdivided into at least two quite distinct subsets, TH1 and TH2 cells, based upon cytokine expression. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) appears to be required for optimal proliferation of T cells in response to antigen and it seems that in the absence of IL-1, TH2 clones proliferate less in response to antigen. Tenidap is an antirheumatic agent that has an inhibitory effect on IL-1 production. In these studies, we show that isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) treated in vitro with Tenidap (15 μg/mL) for 48-h incubations significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced the present of CD4+ expression compared with untreated cells (control), as determined by cytofluorimetric analysis. Lipopolysaccharide and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin were used as positive controls. When the cells were tested for CD3 or CD8 receptor expression, no differences were found between the untreated PBMCs and the treated (15 μg/mL Tenidap) cells. No change was found when cells were incubated for 72 h. Moreover, our data show a strong dose-dependent inhibitory effect of Tenidap (15 μg/mL) on IL-1α, IL-1β, and leukotriene B4 secretion in PBMCs treated overnight. The increased CD4+ expression by Tenidap in PBMCs may suggest an important role for this new antirheumatic agent in immunity and may hold future therapeutic promise for diseases involving IL-1 and leukotriene B4 as mediators.Key words: Tenidap, lymphocyte receptors, leukotriene B4, interleukin-1, lipopolysaccharide.

Oligomers and polymers of flavan-3-ols (proanthocyanidins) are very abundant in the Mediterranean diet, but are poorly absorbed. However, when these polyphenols reach the colon, they are metabolised by the intestinal microbiota into various phenolic acids, including phenylpropionic, phenylacetic and benzoic acid derivatives. Since the biological properties of these metabolites are not completely known, in the present study, we investigated the effect of the following microbial phenolic metabolites: 3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropionic acid (3,4-DHPPA), 3-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (3,4-DHPAA), 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and 4-hydroxyhippuric acid (4-HHA), on modulation of the production of the main pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6). The production of these cytokines by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) pre-treated with the phenolic metabolites was studied in six healthy volunteers. With the exception of 4-HHA for TNF-α secretion, only the dihydroxylated compounds, 3,4-DHPPA and 3,4-DHPAA, significantly inhibited the secretion of these pro-inflammatory cytokines in LPS-stimulated PBMC. Mean inhibition of the secretion of TNF-α by 3,4-DHPPA and 3,4-DHPAA was 84·9 and 86·4 %, respectively. The concentrations of IL-6 in the culture supernatant were reduced by 88·8 and 92·3 % with 3,4-DHPPA and 3,4-DHPAA pre-treatment, respectively. Finally, inhibition was slightly higher for IL-1β, 93·1 % by 3,4-DHPPA and 97·9 % by 3,4-DHPAA. These results indicate that dihydroxylated phenolic acids derived from microbial metabolism present marked anti-inflammatory properties, providing additional information about the health benefits of dietary polyphenols and their potential value as therapeutic agents.

Permafrost is a unique ecosystem characterized by consistently negative temperatures. It has been shown that microorganisms can be there in a state of hypometabolism or anabiosis during geological time. It is known that microorganisms occupy a wide habitat due to the presence of multifunctional systems of adaptation and communication. One of the manifestations of these systems is the production of secondary metabolites (MBs), which include signaling molecules that do not have strict species specificity. The biological activity of signaling molecules largely depends on the number of bacterial cells and the temperature of their cultivation.In this work we used secondary MBs of Bacillus sp. from Permafrost obtained at different temperatures of microorganism cultivation (at -5 °C – “cold” MBs and at 37 °C – “warm” MBs) in doses of 0,05 × 106 (small dose) of microbial cells (m.cl.) in ml of saline or 500 × 106 (high dose) m.cl./ml. The influence of MB of Bacillus sp. for the TNFα, IL-1β, IL-8, IL-2, IFNγ, IL-4 and IL-10 production by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MNC) in supernatants of 24-hour cell cultures was estimated by ELISA whith using the “VectorBEST” test system (Russia) on a LUCY-2 (ANTHOS) spectrophotometer (Austria).It was found that the activity of synthesis by human MNC of the main spectrum of cytokines significantly increased (p < 0.01 for all indicators) under the influence of MB Bacillus sp. regardless of the temperature of their cultivation and the dose of bacteria. The exception was IL-8, the level of which under the influence of a high dose of “warm” MBs didn’t differ from the control. Compared to PHA the cytokines synthesis by MNC depended on the dose and the temperature of obtaining of MBs. Thus, under the influence of “warm” MBs the level of TNFα was significantly lower than its level under the influence of PHA regardless of the dose. Regardless of the temperature of obtaining metabolites the level of IL-8 under the influence of metabolites from a dose of 500 × 106 m.cl. was reduced relative to the PHA group. Comparison of the influence of “warm” and “cold” MBs of Bacillus sp. showed that small doses of “cold” metabolites to a greater extent stimulate the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNFα, IL-1β, IL-8, IFNγ). High doses of “heat” metabolites of Bacillus sp. to a greater extent they activate human MNCs for the synthesis of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL- 4 and IL-10). Considering that TNFα, IL-1β and IL-10 are cytokines of systemic action and are responsible not only for the activation of the immune system, but also for the mobilization of other regulatory systems of the organism, it can be assumed that the secondary metabolites of microorganisms from Permafrost will be efficient as a substrate for the development of new immunomodulators and adaptogens in the future.

Abstract Massive pro-inflammatory cytokines production has been correlated with the pathogenesis of severe dengue disease. The active compound of mangosteen fruit pericarps, α-mangostin, has been commonly used as traditional medicine and dietary supplement. We examined the effect of α-mangostin against dengue virus (DENV) infection in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by the measurement of virus titer and TNF-α and IFN-γ cytokines concentration post infection. Increasing concentration of α-mangostin inhibited virus replication and reduced inflammatory cytokines expression at 24- and 48-h post infection. Our results support the potential use of α-mangostin as anti-antiviral and anti-inflammatory therapies in the treatment of dengue. Graphic Abstract

Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) produce immunomodulatory factors that regulate production of cytokines and chemokines in immune cells affecting their functional properties. Administration of MSCs-sourced secretome, including MSC-derived conditioned medium (MSC-CM) and MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos), showed beneficial effects similar to those observed after transplantation of MSCs. Due to their nano-size dimension, MSC-Exos easily penetrate through the tissue and in paracrine and endocrine manner, may deliver MSC-sourced factors to the target immune cells modulating their function. MSCs derived from amniotic fluid (AF-MSCs) had superior cell biological properties than MSCs derived from bone marrow. We recently developed “Exosomes Derived Multiple Allogeneic Proteins Paracrine Signaling (Exo-d-MAPPS)”, a biological product in which the activity is based on AF-MSC-derived Exos capable to deliver immunomodulatory molecules and growth factors to the target cells. Herewith, we analyzed immunosuppressive capacity of Exo-d-MAPPS against human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbMNCs) and demonstrated that Exo-d-MAPPS efficiently suppressed generation of inflammatory phenotype in activated pbMNCs. Exo-d-MAPPS attenuated production of inflammatory cytokines and promoted generation of immunosuppressive phenotype in Lipopolysaccharide-primed pbMNCs. Exo-d-MAPPS treatment reduced expansion of inflammatory Th1 and Th17 cells and promoted generation of immunosuppressive T regulatory cells in the population of Concanavalin A-primed pbMNCs. Similarly, Exod-MAPPS treatment suppressed pro-inflammatory and promoted anti-inflammatory properties of α-GalCer-primed pbMNCs. In summing up, due to its capacity for suppression of activated pbMNCs, Exo-d-MAPPS should be further explored in animal models of acute and chronic inflammatory diseases as a poten-tially new remedy for the attenuation of detrimental immune response.
