Objective: To investigate the the effects of interleukin-17 (IL-17) on the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) from cultured rheumatoid arthritis synoviocytes. Methods: Fibroblast-like synovial cells(FLS) were prepared from the synovial tissues of rheumatoid arthritis patients and cultured in the presence of IL-17, IL-17 with or without transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-1β(IL-1β). VEGF levels were determined in the culture supernatants by sandwitch ELISA. Results: Stimulation of FLS by serial concentration of IL-17, TGF-β, TNF-α, IL-1β increased the production of VEGF by 2.1-2.7, 2.2-3.0, 2.0-2.9, 2.3-3.1 fold over the constitutive levels of unstimulated FLS. Stimulation of FLS by IL-17 with TGF-β or TNF-α or IL-1β also increased the production of VEGF according to culture periods by 1.6-1.8, 1.1-1.9, 1.5-1.7 fold over the levels stimulated with TGF-β or TNF-α or IL-1β, respectively. This results indicated that IL-17 increased the effect of TGF-β, TNF-α, IL-1β on FLS, leading synergistic enhancement of VEGF production. Conclusion: IL-17 may be involved in the neovascularization in rheumatoid synovitis by enhancing the production of VEGF.

이 연구의 목적은 고온 환경에서의 운동 시 단순 수분 및 스포츠 음료를 통한 수분 보충이 엘리트 운동선수들의 호르몬 변화, 염증성 사이토카인 반응 및 면역 기능에 미치는 영향을 규명하는데 있다. 연구의 대상은 엘리트 운동선수 10명으로 하였으며, 4가지 실험 처치 조건에서 75%HRR 운동 강도로 60분간 트레드밀 달리기를 실시하였다: 1) 적정 환경에서 운동 처치 조건(TE), 2) 고온 환경에서 운동 처치 조건(HE), 3) 고온환경에서 운동 시 물 섭취 처치 조건(HW), 4) 고온 환경에서 운동 시 스포츠음료 섭취 처치 조건(HS). 기후조건은 인공기후실을 이용하여 적정 환경은 온도 18℃, 상대습도 50%로 설정하였으며, 고온 환경은 온도 32℃, 상대습도 50%로 설정하였다. 수분 보충은 물 또는 스포츠음료를 이용하여 고온 환경에서 운동 처치 조건(HE)의 운동 전, 후 체중 차와 동일한 양을 구강 투여하였다. 채혈은 안정 시, 운동 직후, 회복 60분 시점에서 실시하였다. 연구결과, 운동 직후 시점에서 epinephrine은 HE 처치가 다른 세 처치(TE, HW, HS)보다 유의하게 높았으며(p<.05), norepinephrine은 HE 처치가 TE 처치보다 유의하게 높았다(p<.05). IL-6는 운동 직후 시점에서 HE 처치가 TE 처치보다 유의하게 높았다(p<.05). TNF-α는 TE 처치를 제외한 세 처치(HE, HW, HS)에서 운동 직후 유의하게 증가하였다(p<.05). T-cell은 TE 처치를 제외한 세 처치(HE, HW, HS)에서 운동 직후 유의하게 증가하였으며(p<.05), HE 처치가 TE 처치보다 유의하게 높았다(p<.05). NK-cell은 운동 직후 시점에서 HE 처치가 TE 처치보다 유의하게 높았다(p<.05). Neutrophil은 HE 처치의 경우 운동 직후 시점에서 유의하게 증가하였다(p<.05). Lymphocyte는 TE와 HE 처치에서 운동 직후 유의하게 증가하였다(p<.05). Monocyte는 운동 직후 시점에서 HE 처치가 TE 처치보다 유의하게 높았다(p<.05). 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 고온 환경에서의 운동은 적정 환경에서의 운동 시보다 카테콜아민과 염증성 사이토카인의 분비를 증가시켜 면역기능에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 고온 환경에서의 운동 시 수분 보충은 탈수와 열적 스트레스를 경감시켜 면역기능의 부정적 영향을 완화시킬 수 있음을 시사한다. The purpose of the current research was to investigate the effects of body fluid replacement by water or sport drinks on the hormonal, inflammatory cytokine and immune responses during exercise in high ambient temperature. The subjects of the current research were 10 elite athletes. The subjects were asked to perform treadmill running at 75%HRR for 60 minutes in four different conditions, controlled by the environmental chamber: 1) thermoneutral environment (TE), 2) high ambient temperature environment (HE), 3) high ambient temperature environment and body fluid replacement by water (HW), and 4) high ambient temperature environment and body fluid replacement by sport drink(HS). Ambient temperature and relative humidity were set at 18℃ and 50%, respectively, for the theromoneutral environment, and 32℃ and 50% for the high ambient temperature environment. The amount of fluid replaced during two different fluid replacing conditions (HW and HS) were equivalent to the difference in body weight between pre and post completion of the running in HE. The defined amounts of the fluids were administered orally with separations during the exercise trials. Blood samples were taken at rest, at immediately after exercise, and at 60-minute of recovery. For catecholamine responses, the level of epinephrine immediately after exercise appeared to be significantly higher in HE compared to the other treatment conditions (p<.05), while the level of norepinephrine appeared to be significantly higher in HE compared to TE (p<.05). For cytokine responses, the level of IL-6 immediately after exercise appeared to be significantly higher in HE compared to TE (p<.05) while the levels of TNF-α were shown to significantly increase at immediately after exercise in all treatment conditions except TE (p<.05). For immune responses, the levels of T-cell were shown to significantly increase at immediately after exercise in all treatment conditions except TE (p<.05), and the level appeared to be significantly higher in HE compared to TE (p<.05); the level of NK-cell appeared to be higher at immediately after exercise in HE compare to TE (p<.05); the level of neutrophil was shown to significantly increase at immediately after exercise in HE (p<.05); the levels of lymphocyte were shown to significantly increase in TE and HE at immediately after exercise (p<.05); and the level of monocyte appeared to be significantly higher in HE compared to TE at immediately after exercise (p<.05). On the base of the results of the current study, it is suggested that exercise in high ambient temperature can induce increase responses of catecholamines and cytokines which may negatively influence on immune functions. Body fluid replacements during exercise in high ambient temperature, however, can attenuate the negative consequences of thermal stress on immune functions by preventing dehydration and reducing thermal stress.

Lee, Jun Sik,Kim, Sang Gap,Kim, Hyung Keun,Lee, Tae-Hyung,Jeong, Young-Il,Lee, Chang-Min,Yoon, Man-Soo,Na, Yong Jin,Suh, Dong-Soo,Park, Nam Cheol,Choi, In-hak,Kim, Gi-Young,Choi, Yung Hyun,Chung, Hae Liss 2007 Journal of Cellular Physiology Vol.210 No.2

<P>Silibinin is the primary active compound in silymarin. It has been demonstrated to exert anti-carcinogenic effects and hepato-protective effects. However, the effects of silibinin on the maturation and immunostimulatory activities exhibited by dendritic cells (DCs) remain, for the most part, unknown. In this study, we have attempted to determine whether silibinin can influence surface molecule expression, dextran uptake, cytokine production, capacity to induce T-cell differentiation, and the signaling pathways underlying these phenomena in murine bone marrow-derived DCs. Silibinin was shown to significantly suppress the expression of CD80, CD86, MHC class I, and MHC class II in the DCs, and was also associated with impairments of LPS-induced IL-12 expression in the DCs. Silibinin-treated DCs proved highly efficient with regard to Ag capture via mannose receptor-mediated endocytosis. Silibinin also inhibited the LPS-induced activation of MAPKs and the nuclear translocation of the NF-κB p65 subunit. Additionally, silibinin-treated DCs evidenced an impaired induction of Th1 response, and a normal cell-mediated immune response. These findings provide new insight into the immunopharmacological functions of silibinin, especially with regard to their impact on the DCs. These findings expand our current understanding of the immunopharmacological functions of silibinin, and may prove useful in the development of therapeutic adjuvants for acute and chronic DC-associated diseases.

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of different recovery treatments on serum inflammation, muscle damage and fatigue variables after a game of soccer players in high school. The subjects of current study were 10 soccer players in high school without any medical complications. All subjects received both recovery treatments (contrast bath and massage) for once and a control application; therefore, all underwent 3 experimental conditions. Blood sampling taken at rest, at immediately after the match, and at 60 minutes recovery. From the three blood samples, the parameters of inflammation and fatigue were analyzed. Additional blood sampling was taken at 24 hours recovery for the analysis of the long term effect of the applications on the parameters of muscle damage. The concentration of interleukin-6(IL-6), creatine kinase(CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and lactate were shown to significantly increase at immediately after the match in all experimental conditions(p<.05). For inflammation responses the concentration of IL-6 60min recovery appeared to be significantly lower in contrast bath and massage treatments compared to control treatment(p<.05). Also, for muscle damages the concentration of CK 24h recovery appeared to be significantly lower in massage treatment compared to contrast bath and control treatments(p<.05). On the base of the results of the current study, it is suggested that soccer match can induce increased concentrations of IL-6, CK, LDH and lactate which may influence on inflammation, muscle damage and fatigue. However, contrast bath and massage were beneficial for recovery from muscle damage.

Lonicerae Flos has antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus aureus, streptococci, pneumococci, Bacillus dysenterii, Salmonella typhi, and paratyphoid. It is an antiviral agent. The herb has a cytoprotective effect against $CCl_{4}-induced$ hepatic injury. It has antilipemic action, interfering with lipid absorption from the gut. Nowadays this herb is used mainly in the treatment of upper respiratory infections, such as tonsillitis and acute laryngitis. It is also used in the treatment of skin suppurations, such as carbuncles, and to treat viral conjunctivitis, influenza, pneumonia, and mastitis. Lonicerae Flos is dried flower buds of Lonicera japonica, L. hypoglauca, L. confusa, or L. dasystyla. But, for the most part, we use whole plant of Lonicera japonica, as a flower bud of it. And, little is known of the original copy of effects of whole plant, except for the 'Bon-Cho-Gang-Mok', which is written the effects of flower of Lonicera japonica are equal to effects of leaves and branch of it. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of flower and whole plant of Lonicera japonica on the regulatory mechanism of cytokines, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX-2) for the immunological activities in Raw 264.7 cells. In Raw 264.7 cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to mimic inflammation, flower and whole plant of Lonicera japonica water extracts inhibited nitric oxide production in a dose-dependent manner and abrogated iNOS and COX-2. Flower and whole plant of Lonicera japonica water extract did not affect on cell viability. To investigate the mechanism by which flower and whole plant of Lonicera japonica water extract inhibits iNOS and COX-2 gene expression, we examined the on phosphorylation of inhibitor ${\kappa}B{\alpha}$ and assessed production of $TNF-{\alpha}$, $interleukin-1{\beta}$ $(IL-1{\beta})$ and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Results provided evidence that flower and whole plant of Lonicera japonica inhibited the production of $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6 and activated the phosphorylation of inhibitor ${\kappa}B{\alpha}$ in Raw 264.7 cells activated with LPS. These findings suggest that flower and whole plant of Lonicera japonica can produce anti-inflammatory effect, which may play a role in adjunctive therapy in Gram-negative bacterial infections, respectively.

Farfrae Flos has been clinically used for the treatment of asthma in traditional oriental medicine. There is lack of studies regarding the effects of Farfrae Flos on the immunological activities. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Farfrae Flos on the regulatory mechanism of cytokines and nitric oxide (NO) for the immunological activities in Raw 264.7 cells. In Raw 264.7 cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to mimic inflammation, Farfrae Flos water extract inhibited nitric oxide production in a dose-dependent manner and abrogated inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX-2). Farfrae Flos water extract did not affect on cell viability. To investigate the mechanism by which Farfrae Flos water extract inhibits iNOS and COX-2 gene expression, we examined the on the phospholylation of inhibitor κBα and production of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. Results provided evidence that Farfrae Flos inhibited the production of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and the activation of phospholylation of inhibitor κBα in Raw 264.7 cells activated with LPS. These findings suggest that Farfrae Flos can produce anti-inflammatory effect, which may play a role in adjunctive therapy in Gram-negative bacterial infections.

Yoo, Yung-Choon,Kim, Woo-Jung,Kim, So-Yeon,Kim, Sung-Min,Chung, Mi-Kyung,Park, Joo-Woong,Suh, Hyun-Hyo,Lee, Kyung-Bok,Park, Yong-Il The Korean Society of Phycology 2007 ALGAE Vol.22 No.4

A fucoidan, isolated from Korean Undaria pinnatifida spoprophyll (UP-F), was investigated for its immunomodulating activity on murine macrophages and splenocytes, and its activity was compared with that of fucoidan from Fucus vesiculosus (FV-F). Treatment of UP-F resulted in inhibition of the growth of murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells, but its cytotoxicity was not observed in normal murine splenocytes. FV-F was shown to be highly cytotoxic to both immune cells, and its cytotoxic activity was higher than that of UP-F. Treatment of UP-F induced TNF-α in a dose-dependent manner from two types of macrophages, RAW 264.7 cells and murine peritoneal macrophages. The TNF-α-inducing activity of UP-F was higher than that of FV-F. UP-F also actively induced chemokines (RANTES and MIP-1α) from RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, treatment of UP-F gave rise to activation of murine splenocytes to produce cytokine (IL-6) and chemokines (RANTES and MIP-1α), showing significantly higher activity than that of FV-F. These results indicate that UP-F is less cytotoxic to immune cells than FV-F, and possesses immunomodulating activity to produce cytokines and chemokines from macrophages and splenocytes.

The association of disease activity, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and neurotrophic factors with depression in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Inflammation and trophic factors (brain-derived neurotrophic factor [BDNF], vascular endothelial growth factor, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, and insulin-like growth factor-1) are associated with depression in the general population. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic representative inflammatory autoimmune disease; however, the association of disease activity, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and neurotrophic factors with depression has not been sufficiently investigated. Therefore, we determined the prevalence of depression and risk factors for depression and deterioration of depressive symptoms in RA patients. In addition, we analyzed the association between disease activity, pro-inflammatory cytokines, trophic factors, and depression in RA (N = 474). Demographic and laboratory data were examined, and routine assessment of patient index data 3 (RAPID 3) and disease activity score 28-joint count C-reactive protein (DAS 28-CRP) was performed to assess disease activity of RA. Depression was measured using the Korean version of the Beck Depression Inventory-second edition (K-BDI II). A K-BDI score ≥18 was considered the cut-off for depression in accordance with a previous validation study. The serum level of pro-inflammatory cytokines and neurotrophic factors was assessed by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay. The prevalence of depression was 32.4% in patients with RA. The severity of disease activity of RA (RAPID 3 score [OR 2.34; 95% confidence interval, CI 1.22–4.51], DAS 28-CRP [≥3.2] [OR 1.60, 95% CI 1.01–2.53]) and severity of fatigue (OR 1.26 95% CI 1.15–1.38) were associated with depression and deterioration of depressive symptoms in the multivariate analysis. Among the components of RAPID 3 and DAS 28-CRP, patient assessment for global health and abilities for daily performance were more related to depression. The level of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-alpha) was not related to depression. The level of BDNF was significantly lower in RA patients with depression and was negatively correlated with K-BDI II score. Depression was related with the level of fatigue, low expression of BDNF, and high RA disease activity, which was associated with impaired ability to perform activities of daily life. Strict control of fatigue and disease activity to improve one’s capacity to perform daily life activities would be important to regulate depression. The level of BDNF might be one of the possible biomarkers to predict or monitor depression in patients with RA.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Prevalence of depression in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was analyzed. </LI> <LI> Risk factors for depression and deterioration of depressive symptoms and were analyzed. </LI> <LI> Depression was related with disease activity in RA. </LI> <LI> Depression in RA was associated with impaired ability to perform activities of daily life. </LI> <LI> Among neurotrophic factors, the level of BDNF was related with depression in RA patients. </LI> <LI> The level of pro-inflammatory cytokines were not related with depression in RA patients. </LI> </UL> </P>

Suh Min Kim,Hwan Do Ra,Sang-Il Min,Hwan Jun Jae,Jongwon Ha,Seung-Kee Min 대한외과학회 2014 Annals of Surgical Treatment and Research(ASRT) Vol.86 No.2

Purpose: Type I endoleak is known to be associated with sac enlargement and occasional rupture, therefore, the treatment of type I endoleak is recommended at the time of diagnosis. The aim of this study was to identify the significance of early type I endoleak found on completion angiography. Methods: Between January 2000 and December 2012, a total of 86 patients underwent endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) and 10 patients (11.6%) were diagnosed with type Ia endoleak on completion angiography. Clinical and radiologic data were reviewed retrospectively. Results: Of the 10 patients, two underwent EVAR with custom-made stent-grafts in the initial stage and both of them needed immediate treatment: one case involved open repair while the other involved insertion of an additional stentgraft. In 8 patients, the amount of leakage decreased after repeated balloon molding. They were managed conservatively and followed up with computed tomography angiography within 2 weeks after EVAR. In 7 of the 8 cases, type Ia endoleaks disappeared. In one patient with a persistent endoleak and a folded posterior wall of the stent-graft, coil embolization was performed 1 week after EVAR. With a median follow-up of 12 months (range, 1?61 months), no patients showed recurrence of type I endoleak or sac expansion. Conclusion: Type I endoleaks diagnosed on completion angiography sealed spontaneously in 7 of 10 patients (70.0%). In cases of decreased amounts of leakage after balloon molding, simple observation may be an alternative to repetitive procedures. The long-term follow-up of patients with self-sealed type I endoleaks is mandatory.
