Abstract Background: Iron plays a key role in biological metabolism as an essential microelement. Excess iron may cause pathological damage to the body. The purpose of this work is to explore the disorders of major inflammatory factors and histopathological lesions in the liver of excess-iron-fed sheep. Twenty German Mutton Merino sheep were randomly divided into 4 groups, control group (CON), iron-excess group one (IronE1), iron-excess group two (IronE2) and iron-excess group three (IronE3), respectively. Each group was fed with basal diets supplemented with 50 (CON), 500 (IronE1), 1000 (IronE2), and 1500 (IronE3) mg/kg as ferrous sulfate monohydrate (FeSO4 ·H2O). After 75 days, the liver was removed and collected. A variety of methods were utilized to detect indicators of sheep liver. Results: The histopathological damage of liver in sheep was rather severe with the excess of iron. Hemosiderin deposits were also obviously discovered. The results also showed that the expression of both protein and mRNA of IL-1β, TNF-α and IFN-γ reduced, but the factors of IL-2, IL-6, NF-κB and TGF-β1 obviously increased in the liver of each iron excess group. Corresponding changes were also discovered with the addition of iron dosage. The content of inflammatory factors above showed a significant change with an addition of 1500 mg/kg iron into the basic diet, which indicated that excess iron inhibited the release of IL-1β, TNF-α and IFN-γ in the sheep liver. The inflammation caused by excess iron extenuated by reducing the content of these three pro-inflammatory factors. The expression of IL-2, IL-6, NF-κB and TGF-β1 increased. As pro-inflammatory factors induced inflammation, anti-inflammatory factors also increased to protect the body from tissue damage. Conclusions: It can be concluded that excess iron can change the expression of main inflammatory factors in sheep liver, which will be an instructive significance to the development of medical prospect for sheep breeding and disease diagnosis.

Abstract Objective: To explore mechanism of human marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in treating patients with aplastic anemia(AA). Methods: MSCs in patients with aplastic anemia(AA) and the control group were separated with Percoll(1.073g/m L) and cultured in low glucose DMEM. Then, observed their morphologies,checked their molecule surface antigen by flow cytometry and examined the process of adipogenic differention. The mononuclear cells (MNC)of marrow in patients with AA were enriched based 1.077g/L density centrifuge and cultured in the 1640 medium. (1)MSC in control group and MNC in AA group were co-cultured with or without cytokines. The function of supporting hematopoiesis for MSC was to be observed in single confluence layer after plating by counting the total cells and the clones in every well every week. Then analyzed the dynamics of proliferation. T cells were harvested by using nylon column. MSC in control group and T cells in AA group were co-cultured. The proliferation of T cell was measured by MTT method. The CD25,CD69,CD4,CD8,Annexin-V expression rates of CD3+T cells were analyzed by flow cytometry .The gene and protein of IL-2, IL-4,IL-10,TNF-α,IFN-γ,TGF-β1 were examined by RT-PCR and ELISA respectively. MSC treated to the model of AA, by the examination of peripheral hemogram, bone marrow biopsy, pathological section of spleen. Results: There was no significant difference between control group MSC and AA-MSC in morphologies but adipogenic differentiation in AA patients is earlier than controls. The clones of CFU-GM in group(MSC)(78.46±3.58)/2×105 cells, after 14 days cultured was significantly higher than(9.21±4.32)/2×105 cells in group(CK + DMEM medium), while lower than (99.32±4.34)/2×105 cells in group(MSC+CK). (1)the Treg cells (TCD4+CD25+) in AA group (2.01±1.21)/ 2×105 was significantly lower than (4.43±1.67)/2×105 cells in control group, while(5.43±2.31) / 2×105 in group (MSC+AAT) was no more than (4.43±1.67)/2×105 cells in control group. (2) MSCs significantly inhibited T cell proliferation (P< 0. O5)by MTT. (3) RT-PCR and ELISA analysis showed that MSCs induced the expression of IL-4, IL-10, TGF-β1 and decreased significantly the expression of IL-2, TNF-α, IFN -γ in T cells of AA. the model of AA treated by MSCs showed improvements in 3 blood components greatly(p<0.05), Bone marrow proliferated and restored to the normal level, hematopoietic cell increased obviously (hematopoietic cell capacity was more than 40%), and atrophied spleen restore to normality. Conclusions: morphologies of AA’MSC had no evident different with the control but was more easy adipogenic differention. aplastic anemia belongs to autoimmune diseases in which T cells effect organ-specific destruction. The fundamental mechanism of MSC in treating AA should be potential to promote hematopoietic cell proliferation by adjusting immunity.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of intestinal tract, and Periplaneta americana has been found to be effective in the treatment for UC. The purpose of the study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of Periplaneta americana extract Ento-A on UC in rats induced by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) and to explore its mechanism. The Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into normal control group; TNBS-treated group; sulfasalazine (SASP) treated group; Ento-A low- (50 mg/kg), medium- (100 mg/kg), and high-dose (200 mg/kg) groups, respectively. The UC model of rats was induced via TNBS. Disease activity index (DAI) was used to evaluate the severity of UC in rats. The macroscopic and microscopic damages of colon were accessed by colon mucosa damage index (CMDI) and histopathological score (HS), respectively. The levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-17 (IL-17), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in serum and the contents of myeloperoxidase (MPO), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in colonic mucosa were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Compared with the normal control group, the TNBS-treated group showed increase in DAI, CMDI, HS, IL-17, TNF-α, IFN-γ as well as MPO and decrease in the levels of IL-4, EGF, and TGF-β1. However, Ento-A-administrated groups reversed the changes in the DAI, CMDI, HS, and the cytokines caused by TNBS. The study indicates that Periplaneta americana extract Ento-A can effectively alleviate the inflammation in TNBS-induced UC of rats, and the mechanism of that may be related to restoring the balance of T helper 1 (Th1)/Th2/Th17/T regulatory (Treg) cytokines.

Background. The management of adenomyosis is challenging and limiting. Qiu’s Neiyi recipe (Qiu) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription clinically used for endometriosis treatment in China, but the effect and mechanism of Qiu on adenomyosis are undefined. Methods. An experimental adenomyosis model was induced in female neonatal ICR mice administrated with tamoxifen. The adenomyosis mice were divided into five groups: high-, middle-, and low-Qiu’s group, danazol group, and model group. The mice just administrated with the solvent only (no tamoxifen or drugs) were served as the control group. After 28 days of administration, the body, uterine, spleen, and thymus weights of all mice were examined. Then, the myometrial infiltration and the expression of inflammatory factors were detected by histology examination, ELISA, and qRT-PCR in the uterus. In addition, the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway-related protein expression in adenomyosis mice was detected by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, qRT-PCR, and western blotting. Results. In experimental adenomyosis mice, Qiu treatment improved the symptoms of adenomyosis by reducing the myometrial infiltration and increasing the index of spleen and thymus. The elevated levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in serum and uterus tissues of adenomyosis model mice were also decreased after Qiu treatment. The improvement of Qiu on the adenomyosis was achieved by inhibiting the activated MAPK/ERK signaling pathway, including reducing the mRNA and protein expressions of p-ERK/ERK, p-JNK/JNK, and p-p38/p38 in the uterus tissues. Conclusion. Qiu alleviated the inflammatory reaction and uterus histological changes in mice with adenomyosis, and the potential mechanism is through the inhibition of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. Qiu may be a promising treatment for adenomyosis.

Abstract The aim of the study was to examine the profile of the main proinflammatory cytokines in the serum of patients with Crohn's disease and establish their association with the severity and activity of the disease. A total of 61 patients (29 women (47.5%), 32 men (52.5%) aged from 18 to 40 years (mean age (30.42 ± 2.51) years) with the verified diagnosis of Crohn's disease in the active phase were examined. The control group consisted of 30 virtually healthy people (VHP) of corresponding age. Crohn's disease is characterized by reliable (p<0.05) increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines in blood compared to virtually healthy people: TNF-α – by 4.45 times (p<0.05), IL-1α – by 5.08 times (p<0.05), IL-6 – by 2.16 times (p<0.05), IL-8 – by 2.04 times (p<0.05), and IFN-γ – by 5.30 times (p<0.05), which can be due to the development of the active inflammatory process in the intestine and the systemic reaction of the body. The degree of increase in TNF-α and IFN-γ content, as well as the presence of direct correlations between the Best activity index and the content of these cytokines in the blood of the examined patients, confirm their leading role in the cascade of immune-inflammatory reactions during Crohn's disease.

Abstract Background Chronic inflammation with sustained unregulated immune stimulation in autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARD) may be a risk factor for developing lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD). Markers of ARD activity as high erythrocyte sedimentation rate or erosive joint diseases and the development of B-symptoms were accounted as risk factors for LPD development. We investigated the association of five inflammatory cytokine genes single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): TNF-α -308G>A; TGF-β1 gene codon 10 T>C and 25 G>C; IL-10 promoter SNPs -1082 A>G, -819T>C, and -592A>C; IL-6 -174G>C; and IFN-γ 874 T>A with the risk of LPD development in ARD patients. The study was conducted on 70 patients divided into group I, 25 ARD patients diagnosed as RA (n = 15) and SLE (n = 10) and with no history of malignancy; group II, 25 patients diagnosed with LPD and had no ARD; and group III, 20 patients diagnosed with both diseases: ARD and LPD. Cytokine genotyping was analyzed by PCR-sequence-specific primer (PCR-SSP). Results ARD+LPD patients had significantly higher frequency of TNF-α -308A allele and AA+AG genotype (high TNF-α producers) and IL-10 -1082A allele and AA genotype (low IL-10 producers) than ARD patients (p = 0.003, p = 0.024, p = 0.003, p = 0.03, respectively) with a significantly increased risk of LPD development in ARD patients expressing the corresponding alleles and genotypes. No significant differences were detected in the distribution frequency of either TGF-β1, IL-6, or IFN-γ SNPs between groups I and III or any of the studied SNPs between groups II and III. The distribution frequency of IL-10 ATA haplotype was significantly increased in group III as compared to group I (p = 0.037). Conclusion The significantly increased frequency of the high-TNF-α- and low-IL-10-producing alleles and genotypes in ARD patients may participate in the provision of a proinflammatory milieu that eventually increases the risk of LPD development.

Inflammatory Syndrome

Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is an exacerbated immune response that can occur to HIV+ patients after initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART). IRIS pathogenesis is unclear, but dysfunctional and exhausted cells have been reported in IRIS patients, and the TIM-3/Gal-9 axis has been associated with chronic phases of viral infection. This study aimed to evaluate the soluble levels of TIM-3 and Gal-9 and their relationship with IRIS development. TIM-3, Gal-9, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-6, TNFR1, TNFR2, E-cadherin, ADAM10, and ADAM17 were measured to search for IRIS-associated biomarkers in plasma samples from 0-, 4-, 8-, 12-, and 24-weeks after ART initiation of 61 HIV+ patients (15 patients developed IRIS, and 46 did not). We found that patients who developed IRIS had higher levels of TIM-3 [median 4806, IQR: 3206–6182] at the time of the IRIS events, compared to any other follow-up time evaluated in these patients or compared with a control group of patients who did not develop IRIS. Similarly, IRIS patients had a higher TNF-α level [median 10.89, IQR: 8.36–12.34] at IRIS events than any other follow-up time evaluated. Other molecules related to the TIM-3 and TNF-α pathway (Gal-9, IL-6, IFN-γ, TNFR1, TNFR2, ADAM-10, and ADAM-17) did not change during the IRIS events. In conclusion, our data suggest that a high level of soluble TIM-3 and TNF-α could be used as an IRIS biomarker.

M2 Phenotype

Pretransplant graft inflammation could be involved in the worse prognosis of deceased donor (DD) kidney transplants. A2A adenosine receptor (A2AR) can stimulate anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages, leading to fibrosis if injury and inflammation persist. Pre-implantation biopsies of kidney donors (47 DD and 21 living donors (LD)) were used to analyze expression levels and activated intracellular pathways related to inflammatory and pro-fibrotic processes. A2AR expression and PKA pathway were enhanced in DD kidneys. A2AR gene expression correlated with TGF-β1 and other profibrotic markers, as well as CD163, C/EBPβ, and Col1A1, which are highly expressed in DD kidneys. TNF-α mRNA levels correlated with profibrotic and anti-inflammatory factors such as TGF-β1 and A2AR. Experiments with THP-1 cells point to the involvement of the TNF-α/NF-κB pathway in the up-regulation of A2AR, which induces the M2 phenotype increasing CD163 and TGF-β1 expression. In DD kidneys, the TNF-α/NF-κB pathway could be involved in the increase of A2AR expression, which would activate the PKA–CREB axis, inducing the macrophage M2 phenotype, TGF-β1 production, and ultimately, fibrosis. Thus, in inflamed DD kidneys, an increase in A2AR expression is associated with the onset of fibrosis, which may contribute to graft dysfunction and prognostic differences between DD and LD transplants.

Abstract Moringa oleifera (MO) is a widely used as the nutritious and non-traditional feed supplementation containing kinds of bioactive substances. However, the enhancement effect of Moringa oleifera leaf Polysaccharide (MOLP) as a feed additive in broilers growth performance and immunity remains unclear. In this study, MOLP was obtained by water extraction and alcohol precipitation method, then purified with Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) assay. Chickens were randomly divided into 4 groups, to receive different doses of MOLP (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4g/kg) in feed for 3 weeks. The body weight gain (BWG) and feed consumption were recorded for feed conversion ratio (FCR) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) calculation. Broiler chickens were sacrificed and sampled on day 14, 21, 28 (D 14, D 21, and D 28) respectively. Serological indicators, including total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), globulin (GLO), and creatinine (CREA) were detected. ELISA kits were applied for detecting the levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin G (IgG), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α). From D 21 to D 28, the results showed that middle dose of MOLP significantly increased BWG and ADFI as well as liver and bursa indexes when compared with the control group. In addition, TP and GLO were also increased (P<0.05). All MOLP treatments enhanced the serum concentrations of IgG and IL-2 (P<0.01). Furthermore, results of quantitative RT-PCR showed that high dose of MOLP treatment significantly increased (P<0.001) the mRNA expression levels of IL-2 and TNF-α of chickens relative to the control group. In conclusion, the results showed that MOLP supplementation contributed to improve growth performance and immune response in broiler chickens, and MOLP could be considered as a promising feed additive.

INTRODUCTION: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a neglected tropical disease with a complex immune response in different organs. This pattern of organ-specific immune response has never been evaluated in the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this study was to determine the in situ immune response in duodenal biopsies on patients with VL. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted on 13 patients with VL in comparison with nine controls. The immune response was evaluated using immunohistochemistry, for CD4, CD8, CD68, IL-4, IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-10. Histological findings from the villi, crypts and inflammatory process were analyzed. RESULTS: All the cases of VL presented Leishmania antigens. No antigen was detected in the control group. The villus size was greater in the VL patients (p < 0.05). CD68 (macrophages) and CD4 levels were higher in the VL patients (p < 0.05). No differences in the expression of CD8, TNF-α, IL-10 or IL-4 were demonstrated. The number of cells expressing IFN-γ was lower in the VL patients (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Low levels of cytokines were found in the gastrointestinal tract of patients with VL. This pattern was not found in other organs affected by the disease. Immunotolerance of this tissue against Leishmania could explain these findings, as occurs with intestinal bacteria.

The advantage in response of Th2 over Th1 is observed in normal pregnancy in peripheral blood. A disturbance of this balance can lead to symptoms of miscarriage and pregnancy loss. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in sera of women who were diagnosed with missed miscarriage in the first trimester and to compare this systemic immune response to the response in women with normal pregnancy. The study group consisted of 61 patients diagnosed with missed miscarriage. In total, 19 healthy women with uncomplicated first trimester created the control group. Cytokines were determined in the maternal serum by ELISA. The analysis included INF-γ, TNF-α, Il-1β, Il-4, Il-5, Il-6, Il-9, Il-10, Il-13 and TGF-β1. Th1 cytokine levels in the study group reached slightly higher values for INF-γ, Il-1β and slightly lower for IL-6 and TNF-α. In turn, Th2 cytokine levels in the study group were slightly higher (Il-9, Il-13), significantly higher (Il4, p = 0.015; Il-5, p = 0.0003) or showed no differences with the control group (Il-10). Slightly lower concentration involved only TGF-β1. Analysis of the correlation between levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines resulted in some discrepancies, without showing predominance of a specific immune response. The results did not confirm that women with missed miscarriage had an advantage in any type of immune response in comparison to women with normal pregnancy.
