Objective: To investigate the synovial mRNA expression of receptor activator of NFκB (RANK), RANK ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG) and RANKL/OPG mRNA expression ratio, and to evaluate the effects of IL-17 in experimental rheumatoid arthritis (RA) model. Methods: After induction of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) by type II collagen in DBA1 mice, mice were anesthetized at day 28 and a small aperture in the skin of the knee was performed. Mice, in which arthritis of knee was present, were selected and divided into 3 groups, and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS group), IL-17 (IL-17 group) or anti-IL-17 monoclonal antibody (anti-IL-17 group) was injected to both knee joint at day 28 and 32. At day 35, mice were sacrificed and synovium of knee joints were isolated. Synovial mRNA expression of RANKL, RANK and OPG was assessed by real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemical stain. Results: Synovial RANKL and RANK mRNA expressions were significantly different among IL-17, PBS, anti-IL-17 and normal group (IL-17>PBS>anti-IL-17>normal group), and synovial OPG mRNA expressions in PBS, IL-17 and anti-IL-17 group were significantly high than those in normal group, however, there was no significant difference among IL-17, PBS and anti-IL-17 group. RANKL/OPG mRNA ratio was significantly different among these groups (IL-17>PBS>anti-IL-17>normal group). In immunohistochemical stain, RANKL, RANK and OPG-positive cells were expressed at synovium. Conclusion: Synovial RANKL/OPG mRNA ratio was enhanced in CIA, and IL-17 induced higher RANKL/OPG ratio in the synovium of CIA, which was blocked by anti-IL-17 antibody. These results suggest that RANKL/OPG mRNA ratio play an important roles on bone destruction, and IL-17 may be actively involved in bone destruction by enhancing RANKL/OPG ratio in CIA model.

Hur, Jin-Il,Byun, Joon-Seok,Kim, Dae-Jun The Physiological Society of Korean Medicine and T 2010 동의생리병리학회지 Vol.24 No.1

In Vivo and In vitro antispasmodic effects of Jun-Si-Baek-Chul-San, a Traditional Korean Polyherbal Medicineconsisted of 7 types of herbs were observed in the present study. To clarify the effects of Jun-Si-Baek-Chul-San, on accelerating small intestinal movement induced by the stimulation of cholinergic neurotransmission, we evaluated the effects of Jun-Si-Baek-Chul-San on In vivo carbachol (an acetylcholinergic agent)-accelerated mice small intestinal transit and on In vitro contractions induced by low-frequency electrostimulation, KCl, histamine or acetylcholine using isolated guinea pig ileum. To induce the acceleration of mice small intestinal transit, Carbachol 1 mg/kg was once subcutaneously dosed 15min before last administration of the test drugs. In the present study, Jun-Si-Baek-Chul-San 500, 250 and 125 mg/kg or domperidone 20 mg/kg were orally pretreated on the carbachol-accelerated mice small intestinal transit once a day for 7 days and the small intestinal transit rateof activated charcoal powder were monitored. In vitro assays, Jun-Si-Baek-Chul-San1, 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 mg/ml or domperidone $2{\times}10^{-5}M$ were treated 10min before ileal contraction was induced by filed stimulation, acetylcholine, KCl and histamine, and the % changes of contractions were observed compared to the treatment of inducer alone. In spontaneous contraction, the % changes of contractions were observed compared to treatment of vehicle alone at 10min after Jun-Si-Baek-Chul-San or domperidone treatment. The efficacy of Jun-Si-Baek-Chul-San was compared to those of domperidone. High concentration, 1 mg/ml of Jun-Si-Baek-Chul-San was found to decrease the spontaneous contraction of the isolated guinea-pig ileum. In addition, Jun-Si-Baek-Chul-San decrease contractions induced by electrostimulation, acetylcholine, histamine and KCl in the isolated guinea-pig ileum. In addition, Jun-Si-Baek-Chul-San effectively inhibited the accelerated small intestinal movement induced by carbachol stimulation of cholinergic neurotransmission in In vivo. Based on the results, although the exact molecular or action mechanism and which herbs or compound in Jun-Si-Baek-Chul-San are responsible for actions, it was concluded that Jun-Si-Baek-Chul-San normalization in the accelerated intestinal motility might be interfere with a variety of muscarinic, adrenergic and histaminic receptor activities or with the mobilization of calcium ions required for smooth muscle contraction non-specificly. Therefore, it is expected that Jun-Si-Baek-Chul-San will be promising as a prescription of clinical treatment of digestive tract disorders such as accelerated the motility of intestine, diarrhea or intestinal painful contractions.

저자들은 폐포 대식세포 및 말초혈액내의 단핵구가 NK 활성도 및 LAK 활성도에 미치는 영향을 보기위하여, 임파구에 여러 가지 농도(0, 100 : 1, 10 : 1, 1 : 1)의 폐포 대식세포와 단핵구를 넣어 IL-2 enhanced NK 활성도 및 LAK 활성도를 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 여러 가지 농도의 단해구는 IL-2 enchanced NK 활성도 및 LAK 활성도에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 2) 동량의 페포대식세포(임파구 : 폐포 대식세포= 1 : 1)는 IL-2 enhanced NK 활성도를 의의있게 억제하였으나(p<0.05), 소량의 폐포대식세포(임파구 : 폐포 대식세포-10 : 1과 100 : 1)는 IL-2 enhanced NK 활성도를 억제하지 못하였다. 3) 임팍와 폐포 대식세포의 비율이 1 : 1과 10 : 1에서는 LAK 활성도를 의의있게 억제하였으나, 소량의 폐포대식세포(임파구 : 폐포 대식세포=100 : 1)는 LAK 활성도를 억제하지 못하였다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과로 IL-2 enhanced NK 활성도 및 LAK 활성도는 폐포 대식세포의 양에 비례하여 억제되었으나, 말초혈액내의 단핵구에 의해서는 영향받지 않는 것을 알 수 있었다. Alveolar macrophages (AM) are thought to function as primary effector cells against tumors growing in the lung. Systemic administration of lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells and IL-2 resulted in partial antitumor response in patients with advanced cancer. LAK activity is influenced by various factors. We studied the effects of AM and blood monocytes from healthy donors on IL-2 enhanced NK activity against K-562 cells and LAK activity against Raji cells utilizing a 4h ^(51)Cr release assay. The following results were obtained: 1) The addition of different doses of human blood monocytes showed no suppression or enhancement of IL-2 enhanced NK and LAK activity. 2) The addition of high dose of AM (Lymphocyte: AM=1:1) significantly suppressed IL-2 enhanced NK activity. Smaller doses of AM (Lymphocyte: AM= 10:1and 100:1) did not suppress IL-2 enhanced NK activity. 3) The addition of high dose of AM (Lymphocyte: AM = 1:1 and 10:1) significantly suppressed LAK activity. The smallest dose of AM (Lymphocyte: AM= 100:1) did not suppress LAK activity. In conclusion, IL-2 enhanced NK and LAK activity were dose-dependently suppressed by human alveolar macrophages. However IL-2 enhanced NK and LAK activity were not suppressed by blood monocytes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of generalized aggressive periodontitis with IL-6 promoter gene single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNP). Material and Methods: The study population consisted of 52 generalized aggressive periodontitis patients(GAP) and 30 periodontally healthy control subjects, who were systemically healthy non-smokers. Genomic DNA was obtained from buccal swab. The IL-6 promotor SNP at the positions of -597, -572, and -174 were genotyped by amplifying the polymorphic region using polymerase chain reaction(PCR), restriction enzyme digestion and gel electrophoresis. Result: The genotype distributions for G/G, G/A and A/A genotypes of IL-6 -597 were 30.8%, 40.4%, and 28.8% in the GAP group and 53.3%, 40%, and 6.7% in the control group and were statistically different between 2 groups(p<0.05). Allele 2 frequency of IL-6 -597 were significantly higher in the GAP group than the control group(p<0.01). At the position of IL-6 -572, the distribution for C/C, C/G and G/G genotypes were 23.1%, 55.8% and 21.2% in the GAP group and 20%, 33.3%, and 46.7% in the control group. In female subjects, the genotype distribution were significantly different between 2 groups(p<0.01). In male subjects, allele 2 frequency of IL-6-572 was significantly lower in the GAP group than the control group(p<0.05). The genotype distribution of IL-6 -174 in the GAP group were 96.2%, 3.8% for G/G, G/C genotypes whereas only the G/G genotype was detected in the control group. Conclusion: In conclusion, significant associations were found in IL-6 gene promoter(-597, -572) polymorphisms and generalized aggressive periodontitis. Further cohort study will be necessary in larger population.

Objective: To evaluate the expression of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, 4 and 9 and investigate the effects of IL-17 on the expression of TLRs in experimental rheumatoid arthritis (RA) model. Methods: After induction of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) by type II collagen in DBA1 mice, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, PBS group) or IL-17 (IL-17 group) was injected to both knee joint at day 28 and 32. At day 35, mice were sacrificed and knee joints were isolated. Synovial mRNA expressions of TLR-2, 4 and 9 determined by real-time RT-PCR were compared among normal DBA1 mice (normal group), PBS and IL-17 group. Results: Synovial TLR-2, 4, and 9 mRNA expressions of IL-17 and PBS group were significantly higher than normal group, and those of IL-17 group were higher than PBS group. Conclusion: Synovial TLR-2, 4 and 9 expression was enhanced in CIA and up-regulated by local overexpression of IL-17. These results suggest that TLRs play a roles on CIA and IL-17 induced aggravation of arthritis in CIA.

Objectives :Sodok-eum(xiaodu-yˇln, SDU) exhibits potent anti-inflammatory activity with an unknown mechanism. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of SDU on pharmacological and biochemical actions in inflammation. Methods :We examined the effect of SDU on pro-inflammatory mediators in lipopolysaccharide(UVB)-stimulated HaCaT. The investigation focused on whether SDU inhibited cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2), interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-8(IL-8) and mitogen-activated protein kinases(MAPKs) in UVB-stimulated HaCaT cells. Results :SDU inhibited UVB-induced IL-6, IL-8 productions as well as the expressions of COX-2. Furthermore, SDU suppressed the UVB-induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2(ERK1/2), c-JUN N-terminal kinase 1/2(JNK 1/2), p38. Conclusions :These results suggest that SDU has inhibitory effects on UVB-induced IL-6, IL-8 production, as well as the expressions of COX-2 in the HaCaT. The inhibitory effects occur through blockades on the phosphorylation of MAPKs following activation.

Blockade of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase protects mice against lipopolysaccharide-induced endotoxin shock.

Jung, In Duk,Lee, Min-Goo,Chang, Jeong Hyun,Lee, Jun Sik,Jeong, Young-Il,Lee, Chang-Min,Park, Won Sun,Han, Jin,Seo, Su-Kil,Lee, Sang Yong,Park, Yeong-Min Williams Wilkins 2009 JOURNAL OF IMMUNOLOGY Vol.182 No.5

<P>Suppression of an excessive systemic inflammatory response is a promising and potent strategy for treating endotoxic sepsis. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), which is the rate-limiting enzyme for tryptophan catabolism, may play a critical role in various inflammatory disorders. In this study, we report a critical role for IDO in the dysregulated immune response associated with endotoxin shock. We found that IDO knockout (IDO(-/-)) mice and 1-methyl-D-tryptophan-treated, endotoxin-shocked mice had decreased levels of the cytokines, TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-12, and enhanced levels of IL-10. Blockade of IDO is thought to promote host survival in LPS-induced endotoxin shock, yet little is known about the molecular mechanisms that regulate IDO expression during endotoxin shock. In vitro and in vivo, IDO expression was increased by exogenous IL-12, but decreased by exogenous IL-10 in dendritic cells and splenic dendritic cells. Interestingly, whereas LPS-induced IL-12 levels in serum were higher than those of IL-10, the balance between serum IL-12 and IL-10 following challenge became reversed in IDO(-/-)- or 1-methyl-D-tryptophan-treated mice. Our findings demonstrate that the detrimental immune response to endotoxin shock may occur via IDO modulation. Restoring the IL-12 and IL-10 balance by blocking IDO represents a potential strategy for sepsis treatment.</P>

Yan, Bing Chun,Park, Joon Ha,Kim, In Hye,Shin, Bich Na,Ahn, Ji Hyeon,Yoo, Ki-Yeon,Lee, Deuk-Sik,Kim, Myong Jo,Kang, Il-Jun,Won, Moo-Ho Springer-Verlag 2012 Experimental brain research Vol.223 No.2

<P>Tetanus toxin (TeT) is an exotoxin and has a capacity for neuronal binding and internalization. In the present study, we compared changes in the immunoreactivities and protein levels of interleukin (IL-) 2 as a pro-inflammatory cytokine and IL-4 as an anti-inflammatory cytokine in the hippocampus proper (HP) and dentate gyrus (DG) after systemic treatment of 10 or 100?ng/kg TeT into mice. In this study, we could not find any neuronal damage or loss in any subregions of the hippocampus after TeT treatment. In the control groups, strong IL-2 immunoreactivity was shown in the stratum pyramidal (SP) of the HP and in the granule cell layer (GCL) of the DG. At 6?h post-treatment, IL-2 immunoreactivity was hardly detected in the SP and GCL; however, strong IL-2 immunoreactivity was shown in the stratum oriens of the HP in both the groups. Thereafter, intermediate IL-2 immunoreactivity was shown in the SP and GCL. On the other hand, intermediate IL-4 immunoreactivity was detected in the SP and GCL of the control groups. At 6?h post-treatment, IL-4 immunoreactivity in the SP and GCL was apparently increased. Thereafter, IL-4 immunoreactivity was lower than that at 6?h post-treatment. In brief, IL-2 and 4 immunoreactivities were easily detected in SP and GCL in the controls and dramatically decreased and increased at 6?h post-treatment, respectively.</P>
