Inflammation is an important etiological factor of colorectal carcinoma and may be related to colorectal carcinoma growth and proliferation. This study aimed to verify whether the presence of chronic inflammation represented by tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-2, interleukin-6, and interleukin-10 gene expression is related to hMLH1, hMSH2, hMSH6, and PMS2 gene expression and the corresponding protein levels of these genes from the DNA repair system. A total of 83 patients were operated on for curative or palliative colorectal carcinoma. Expression of the inflammatory response genes tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-2, interleukin-6, and interleukin-10 as well as expression of the hMLH1, hMSH2, hMSH6, and PMS2 genes of the DNA repair system (mismatch repair) and the expression levels of the corresponding mismatch repair proteins were measured in neoplastic tissue by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Associations were observed between hMSH6 mRNA expression and interleukin-2 mRNA expression (p = 0.026) as well as between hMLH1 and hMSH2 gene expression and tumor necrosis factor-α gene expression (p = 0.042). Higher tissue levels of interleukin-2 and tumor necrosis factor-α gene expression were associated with lower hMSH6, hMLH1, and hMSH2 gene expression.

Background— Class A macrophage scavenger receptor (SR-A) is a macrophage-restricted multifunctional molecule that optimizes the inflammatory response by modulation of the activity of inflammatory cytokines. This study was conducted with SR-A–deficient (SR-A −/− ) mice to evaluate the relationship between SR-A and cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction. Methods and Results— Experimental myocardial infarction (MI) was produced by ligation of the left coronary artery in SR-A −/− and wild-type (WT) male mice. The number of mice that died within 4 weeks after MI was significantly greater in SR-A −/− mice than in WT mice ( P =0.03). Importantly, death caused by cardiac rupture within 1 week after MI was 31% (17 of 54 mice) in SR-A −/− mice and 12% (6 of 51 mice) in WT mice ( P =0.01). In situ zymography demonstrated augmented gelatinolytic activity in the infarcted myocardium in SR-A −/− mice compared with WT mice. Real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction at day 3 after MI showed that the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 mRNA increased significantly in the infarcted myocardium in SR-A −/− mice compared with WT mice. Furthermore, SR-A −/− mice showed augmented expression of tumor necrosis factor-α and reduction of interleukin-10 in the infarcted myocardium at day 3 after MI. In vitro experiments also demonstrated increased tumor necrosis factor-α and decreased interleukin-10 expression in activated SR-A −/− macrophages. Conclusions— The present findings suggest that SR-A deficiency might cause impairment of infarct remodeling that results in cardiac rupture via insufficient production of interleukin-10 and enhanced expression of tumor necrosis factor-α and of matrix metalloproteinase-9. SR-A might contribute to the prevention of cardiac rupture after MI.
