This study examined the effects of Bangdeyun on the expressions of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the endometrium of mice with embryo implantation dysfunction (EID) during the implantation time (namely on pregnancy day 5, 6, 7 and 8) and explored the local immune regulatory effects of Bangdeyun. The gestational mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group and Bangdeyun-treated group. EID models of mice were established by using indomethacin. The endometrial expression of NF-kappaB was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. IFN-gamma and IL-10 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that in the normal group, NF-kappaB and IFN-gamma were weakly expressed and IL-10 was strongly expressed in the endometrium during the whole implantation period. In the model group, the expressions of NF-kappaB and IFN-gamma were increased on pregnancy day 5, 6 and 7, and IL-10 expression decreased during the whole implantation time when compared with those in the normal group (P<0.01 for all). In the Bangdeyun-treated group, little amount of NF-kappaB and IFN-gamma was expressed and IL-10 expression was strong, much the way they were expressed in the normal group (P>0.05). The expressions of NF-kappaB and IFN-gamma were much lower in the Bangdeyun-treated group than those in the model group on pregnancy day 5, 6 and 7 (P<0.01 for all), while the expression of IL-10 was much higher than in the model group during the whole implantation time (P<0.01). It was suggested Bangderun may favor a shift from Th1- to Th2-type immune response, therefore inhibiting the maternal immune rejection, inducing the immune tolerance and improving the fetal implantation.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Akt2 inhibitor on macrophage polarization in the periapical tissue in a rat model of periapical inflammation. METHODS: Rat models of periapical inflammation were established in 28 normal SD rats by opening the pulp cavity of the mandibular first molars, followed by injection of normal saline and Akt2 inhibitor into the left and right medullary cavities, respectively. Four rats without any treatment served as the healthy control group. At 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after modeling, 7 rat models and 1 control rat were randomly selected for observation of inflammatory infiltration in the periapical tissues by X-ray and HE staining. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression and localization of Akt2, macrophages and the inflammatory mediators. RT-PCR was performed to detect the mRNA expressions of Akt2, CD86, CD163, inflammatory mediators, miR-155-5p and C/EBPβ to analyze the changes in macrophage polarization. RESULTS: X-ray and HE staining showed that periapical inflammation was the most obvious at 21 days after modeling in the rats. Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR showed that compared with those in the control rats, the expressions of Akt2, CD86, CD163, miR-155-5p, C/EBPβ, and IL-10 increased significantly in the rat models at 21 days (P < 0.05). Compared with saline treatment, treatment with the Akt2 inhibitor significantly decreased the expression levels of Akt2, CD86, miR-155-5p and IL-6 and the ratio of CD86⁺M1/CD163⁺M2 macrophages (P < 0.05) and increased the expression levels of CD163, C/EBPβ and IL-10 in the rat models (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Inhibition of Akt2 can delay the progression of periapical inflammation in rats and promote M2 macrophage polarization in the periapical inflammatory microenvironment possibly by reducing miR-155-5p expression and activating the expression of C/EBPβ in the Akt signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of moxibustion at "Mingmen" (GV 4) and "Guanyuan" (CV 4) on immune function and intestinal flora in healthy rats, thereby investigating the underlying mechanism of moxibustion on immune function. METHODS: Twenty 8-week-old SD rats were randomly divided into a young blank group and a young moxibustion group, with 10 rats in each group. Similarly, twenty 8-month-old SD rats were randomly divided into a middle-aged blank group and a middle-aged moxibustion group, with 10 rats in each group. The rats in the two moxibustion groups received moxibustion at "Mingmen" (GV 4) and "Guanyuan" (CV 4), 15 min per session, once daily, five times a week, for a total of four months. The rats in the two blank groups were fed under normal conditions. After the intervention, thymus and spleen indexes were calculated; the morphology of thymus and spleen tissues was observed using HE staining; the flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of CD and CD T lymphocytes and the CD/CD ratio was calculated; ELISA was used to measure the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and interleukin-17 (IL-17); 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the intestinal flora. Additionally, the correlation between the relative abundance of intestinal flora and serum levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-17 was analyzed. RESULTS: Compared with the young blank group, the young moxibustion group exhibited an increase in the cortical area of thymus tissue with tighter lymphocyte arrangement; compared with the middle-aged blank group, the middle-aged moxibustion group showed an increase in thymus index (P<0.05) and an increase in the cortical area of thymus tissue. There were no significant differences in spleen index between the 2 moxibustion groups and the 2 blank groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the expression of CD, CD, and CD/CD ratio between the 2 moxibustion groups and the corresponding blank groups (P>0.05). Compared with the young blank group, the young moxibustion group had elevated IL-6 level (P<0.05); compared with the middle-aged blank group, the middle-aged moxibustion group had decreased IL-10 and IL-17 levels (P<0.05). Compared with the young blank group, the young moxibustion group exhibited increased Sobs index, Ace index, and Chao index (P<0.01, P<0.05), as well as increased relative abundance of Spirochaetota, Treponema, Turicibacter, Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group (P<0.05), and decreased relative abundance of Dubosiella (P<0.05). Compared with the middle-aged blank group, the middle-aged moxibustion group had increased relative abundance of Spirochaetota, Treponema, norank_f_Peptococcaceae (P<0.05), and decreased relative abundance of Proteobacteria, Allobaculum, and Faecalibaculum (P<0.05). Correlation analysis revealed that relative abundance of Eubacterium_xylanophilum_group and unclassified _f_Lachnospiraceae was negatively correlated with serum TNF-α level (r=-0.39, P=0.03; r=-0.24, P=0.04), while relative abundance of norank_f_norank_o_Clostridia_UCG-014 and Lactobacillus was positively correlated with serum TNF-α level (r=0.37, P=0.04; r=0.43, P=0.02). The relative abundance of Roseburia and Monoglobus was negatively correlated with serum IFN-γ level (r=-0.40, P=0.02; r=-0.44, P=0.01), while relative abundance of Lactobacillus was positively correlated with serum IL-10 level (r=0.43, P=0.02). CONCLUSION Moxibustion could improve immune function in healthy rats, and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of relative abundance of intestinal flora.

BACKGROUNDHuman interleukin-10 (hIL-10) is a cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor, which is involved in various immune responses. The purpose of this study was to construct an adenoviral vector carrying the hIL-10 gene for expression of biologically active hIL-10 in rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rMSCs).

METHODSA pSNAV2.0-hIL10 plasmid was used as a template to obtain a hIL-10 cDNA fragment that was subcloned by restriction enzyme digestion and ligation into a pDC316-IRES-EGFP-lacZ alpha plasmid carrying an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) marker gene. The pDC316-hIL-10-IRES-EGFP plasmid was linearized by PmeI digestion and used to transfect HEK293 packaging cells using the adenovirus packaging system AdMax. Virus particles were amplified by repeatedly infecting HEK293 cells with the seed virus and then purified by ion exchange. After the number of virus particles and titer was determined, rMSCs were infected with the adenoviral vector. The infection rate was determined by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry, and hIL-10 protein expression in rMSCs was measured by Western blotting.

RESULTSThe virus particle concentration, OD260/280 value and virus titer of the amplified and purified recombinant adenovirus were 3.2 × 10(11) VP/ml, approximately 2.0, and 1.1 × 10(10) TCID50/ml, respectively. Bright green fluorescence was observed by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry in the recombinant adenovirus-infected rMSCs. GFP expression was considered the multiplicity of infection (MOI) and was time-dependent. The infection rate was 92.9% at 100 MOI.

CONCLUSIONSA bicistronic recombinant adenoviral vector for hIL-10 and EGFP gene expression were successfully constructed. The infection rate of rMSCs by the adenovirus was high (92.9% at 100 MOI) and the target gene hIL-10 was highly expressed in cells. The present study provides an experimental basis for further research of immunosuppressive therapy using hIL-10. The expression level of hIL-10 protein as detected by Western blotting was also MOI- and time-dependent.

In Trichinella spiralis infection, type 2 helper T (Th2) cell-related and regulatory T (T(reg)) cell-related immune responses are the most important immune events. In order to clarify which Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are closely associated with these responses, we analyzed the expression of mouse TLR genes in the small intestine and muscle tissue during T. spiralis infection. In addition, the expression of several chemokine- and cytokine-encoding genes, which are related to Th2 and T(reg) cell mediated immune responses, were analyzed in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) isolated from myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)/TIR-associated proteins (TIRAP) and Toll receptor-associated activator of interferons (TRIF) adapter protein deficient and wild type (WT) mice. The results showed significantly increased TLR4 and TLR9 gene expression in the small intestine after 2 weeks of T. spiralis infection. In the muscle, TLR1, TLR2, TLR5, and TLR9 gene expression significantly increased after 4 weeks of infection. Only the expression of the TLR4 and TLR9 genes was significantly elevated in WT MEF cells after treatment with excretory-secretory (ES) proteins. Gene expression for Th2 chemokine genes were highly enhanced by ES proteins in WT MEF cells, while this elevation was slightly reduced in MyD88/TIRAP-/- MEF cells, and quite substantially decreased in TRIF-/- MEF cells. In contrast, IL-10 and TGF-beta expression levels were not elevated in MyD88/TIRAP-/- MEF cells. In conclusion, we suggest that TLR4 and TLR9 might be closely linked to Th2 cell and T(reg) cell mediated immune responses, although additional data are needed to convincingly prove this observation.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed at investigating effects of exogenous interleukine-10 (IL-10) on IL-6 and intercellular adhesion molecular (ICAM-1) expression in inflamed gingival tissue.

METHODSThe expression of IL-6 and ICAM-1 was examined using immunohistochemical techniques. Inflammatory gingival tissue treated with IL-10 was taken as the experimental group and the same patient's inflammatory gingival tissue without treatment of IL-10 was included into the control group.

RESULTSIL-6 expression was found mainly in monocytes, macrophages, lymphocytes, endotheliocytes and fibroblasts. The expression of ICAM-1 was found mainly in epithelial cells, monocot-macrophages, lymphocytes, endotheliocytes and fibroblasts. The immunohistochemical optical density (IOD) of the expression of IL-6 and ICAM-1 was detected by using Image-Proplus software, and the results showed that the expression in the experimental group differed significantly from that in the control group.

CONCLUSIONThe exogenous IL-10 may down-regulate IL-6 and ICAM-1 expression in inflammatory gingival tissue.

OBJECTIVETo study the infiltration of macrophages and their phenotype in the healing process of full-thickness wound in rat.

METHODSThirty healthy SD rats were divided into control group (n = 6) and injury group (n = 24) according to the random number table. Two round full-thickness skin defects (11 mm diameter) were created on both sides of dorsal spine of rats in injury group with surgical scissors and homemade trephine. After injury, wound area was measured immediately. The wounds were disinfected with iodophor every day. Rats in control group received anesthesia and hair removal only. On post injury day (PID) 1, 3, 7, and 13, respectively, 6 rats of injury group were sacrificed after the measurement of wound area (wound healing rate was calculated). Wound samples were obtained by excision down to healthy fascia along wound edge. Histological study was done with HE staining. The expression of CD68 (the surface marker of macrophage) in the wound tissue was observed with immunohistochemical staining. The double positive expressions of induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) plus CD68 (type I macrophage) and arginase 1 (Arg-1) plus CD68 (type II macrophage) were observed with immunofluorescence staining. The levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), TNF-α, IL-4, IL-13, IL-10, and IL-12 in wound tissue were assayed by double-antibody sandwich ELISA, and the ratio of IL-10/IL-12 was calculated. Full-thickness skin tissues (11 mm diameter) in rats of control group were excised at the same site as rats in injury group, and the histological observation and cytokines assay were performed as well. Data were processed with one-way analysis of variance or LSD- t test.

RESULTSWound area of rats in injury group was gradually reduced after injury, and the overall difference of the wound healing rate on each PID was statistically significant (F = 358.55, P < 0.01). No abnormal appearance of skin tissue was observed in rats of control group. In injury group, inflammatory cell infiltration was obvious in wound tissue on PID 1 and 3; vascular structure and fresh collagen were observed in wound tissue on PID 7 and 13. Numbers of CD68 positive cells in skin tissue of rats in control group and wound tissue of rats in injury group on PID 1, 3, 7, and 13 were respectively (2.7 ± 1.5), (31.8 ± 3.5), (40.8 ± 4.7), (20.8 ± 2.8), (3.2 ± 2.4) per 200 times visual field (F = 180.55, P < 0.01). Compared with that in control group, the number of CD68 positive cells of rats in injury group was increased on PID 1, 3, and 7 (with t values respectively 18.81, 18.79, 14.05, P values below 0.01). No double positive expression of iNOS plus CD68 or Arg-1 plus CD68 was observed in normal tissue of rats in control group. In injury group, proportions of iNOS plus CD68 double positive cells on PID 1, 3, 7, and 13 were respectively (12.2 ± 2.8)%, (16.5 ± 2.9)%, (4.2 ± 2.3)%, (0.7 ± 0.8)% (F = 72.50, P < 0.01); proportions of Arg-1 plus CD68 double positive cells on PID 1, 3, 7, and 13 were respectively 0, (8.2 ± 1.9)%, (21.5 ± 3.4)%, (4.7 ± 2.0)% (F = 120.93, P < 0.01). In injury group, proportion of iNOS plus CD68 double positive cells on PID 3 was significantly higher than that on other PID (with t values respectively 2.65, 8.17, 12.95, P values below 0.05); proportion of Arg-1 plus CD68 double positive cells on PID 7 was higher than that on other PID (with t values respectively 15.27, 8.25, 10.38, P values below 0.01). Compared with that of Arg-1 plus CD68 double positive cells, proportion of iNOS plus CD68 double positive cells was higher on PID 1 and 3 (with t values respectively 10.71 and 5.88, P values below 0.01) and lower on PID 7 and 13 (with t values respectively 10.24 and 4.60, P values below 0.01). The overall differences of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-4, IL-13, and IL-10/IL-12 ratio in skin tissue of rats in control group and wound tissue of rats in injury group on every PID were statistically significant (with F values from 14.08 to 631.03, P values below 0.01). Compared with those in control group, levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-4, and IL-13 in wound tissue of rats in injury group were significantly higher on every PID (with t values from 4.58 to 9.17, P values below 0.05), while IL-10/IL-12 ratio was significantly higher on PID 1, 3, and 7 (with t values respectively 27.70, 30.51, 9.49, P values below 0.05) . In injury group, IFN-γ level on PID 1 [(61 ± 5) pg/mL] and IL-10/IL-12 ratio on PID 3 (1.647 ± 0.098) were significantly higher than those of control group and those on other PID in injury group [with IFN-γ level respectively (32 ± 4), (54 ± 6), (46 ± 7), (47 ± 4) pg/mL and IL-10/IL-12 ratio respectively 0.328 ± 0.045, 0.960 ± 0.034, 0.530 ± 0.028, 0.289 ± 0.040, with t values respectively from 3.19 to 8.20 and from 16.59 to 31.84, P values below 0.05].

CONCLUSIONSMacrophage infiltration increases in the healing process of full-thickness wound in rat with different phenotypes, among which type I macrophage appears in the inflammatory stage, and type II macrophage predominates in the proliferative stage.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of miR-125b on T cell activation in patients with aplastic anemia (AA) and its molecular mechanism. METHODS: A total of 30 AA patients were enrolled in department of hematology, Binzhou Medical University Hospital from January 2018 to October 2021, as well as 15 healthy individuals as healthy control (HC) group. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated, in which the levels of miR-125b and B7-H4 mRNA were detected by RT-qPCR. Immunomagnetic beads were used to separate naive T cells and non-naive T cells from AA patients and healthy people to detect the levels of miR-125b and B7-H4 mRNA. Lentivirus LV-NC inhibitor and LV-miR-125b inhibitor were transfected into cells, and T cell activation was detected by flow cytometry. The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to detect the targetting relationship between miR-125b and B7-H4. RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the levels of miR-125b, CD40L, ICOS, IL-10 mRNA and B7-H4 protein. RESULTS: Compared with HC group, the expression of miR-125b was up-regulated but B7-H4 mRNA was down-regulated in PBMCs of AA patients (P <0.05), and the proportions of CD4⁺CD69⁺ T cells and CD8⁺CD69⁺ T cells in PBMCs of AA patients were higher (P <0.05). The expression of miR-125b was significantly up-regulated but B7-H4 mRNA was down-regulated in both naive T cells and non-naive T cells of AA patients (P <0.05), and non-naive T cells was more significant than naive T cells (P <0.05). Compared with NC inhibitor group, the expression of miR-125b was significantly decreased, the expression level of CD69 on CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells in PBMCs was also significantly decreased, while the luciferase activity was significantly increased after co-transfection of miR-125b inhibitor and B7-H4-3'UTR-WT in the miR-125b inhibitor group (P <0.05). Compared with NC inhibitor group, the mRNA and protein levels of B7-H4 were significantly increased in the miR-125b inhibitor group (P <0.05). Compared with miR-125b inhibitor+shRNA group, the expression levels of CD69 on CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells were significantly increased, and the levels of CD40L, ICOS and IL-10 mRNA were also significantly increased in the miR-125b inhibitor+sh-B7-H4 group (P <0.05). CONCLUSION MiR-125b may promote T cell activation by targetting B7-H4 in AA patients.

OBJECTIVETo observe the changes in the phenotype characteristics and immune function after transfection of cord blood derived immature dendritic cells( imDC) with Adeasy-EGFP adenovirus vector, and to explore the function of IL-10 in inhibition of imDC maturation.

METHODSImmature dendritic cells were generated from human cord blood(CB) monocyte cultured with rhGM-CSF and rhIL-4. The recombinant adenovirus vector AdEASY-EGFP was transduced into immature dendritic cells on the third day with or without adding IL-10. The expression of cell maturation marker CD83, CD86 and HLA-DR were determined with flow cytometry. Allogeneic mixed leukocyte reaction( MLR) was used to examine the imDC's ability to promote T cell proliferation.

RESULTSThe expression of surface maturation markers of imDC after transfection with adenovirus were significantly up-regulated ( CD86:46+/-10; CD83: 38 +/- 7; HLA-DR: 82 + 12) , and its ability to promote T cell proliferation was also obviously increased( SI > 2. 0). However, the expression of surface maturation markers of imDC after IL-10 treatment had lower mature phenotypes expression after transduction (CD86:8 +/- 5; CD83: 9 +/- 3; HLA-DR:63 +/- 12), and T cell stimulating ability was decreased comparing with adenovirus transfection groups.

CONCLUSIONAdenovirus can be transduced into imDC with high efficiency, but transfection itself can promote imDC's maturation. IL-10 treatment can inhibit the tendency to maturation stimulated by adenovirus transduction efficiently.

Objective: To investigate the effect of microRNA (miR-148b) targeting decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) on macrophage polarization in sepsis. Methods: Experimental study. From December 2019 to December 2022, serum microRNA expression was detected in 3 patients with sepsis and 3 healthy controls in the clinical laboratory of Songjiang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) was used to induce the differentiation of human acute monocytic leukemia cells THP-1 into macrophages, and then lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was added to stimulate the establishment of a sepsis cell model, and the expression changes of miR-148b and DcR3 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Overexpression of DcR3 was used to detect the expression levels of TNF-α, CD163 and IL-10 in macrophages stimulated by LPS (100 ng/ml). Overexpression of miR-148b was used to observe the changes of molecular markers of macrophage polarization. The targeting regulation effect of miR-148b on DcR3 was determined by dual-luciferase reporter assay. t test was used to analyze whether there were statistical differences among the groups. Results: The expression of miR-148b was down-regulated (P<0.05) and the expression of DcR3 was up-regulated (P<0.01) in THP-1 macrophages stimulated by LPS. Overexpression of DcR3 inhibited the expression of TNF-α (P<0.05) and promoted the expression of CD163 (P<0.01) and IL-10 (P<0.01). When miR-148b mimics was added, the opposite effect was observed. The dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-148b targets and binds to DcR3, inhibiting its transcription and expression. The results of flow cytometry showed that DcR3 could reverse the promoting effect of miR-148b on the CD86/CD163 ratio of macrophages (P<0.05). Conclusion: miR-148b inhibits the expression of DcR3, thereby inhibiting M2 polarization in LPS-stimulated macrophage cells.
