Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs) exposed to influenza A virus (IAV) undergo activation of the respiratory burst followed by depression of cell function when subsequently exposed to particulate or soluble stimuli. The effect of IAV on PMNLs is likely to be mediated through the attachment of IAV to one or more specific receptors. Recently, IAV has been shown to bind to the sialophorin protein (CD43) receptor on PMNL plasma membranes. The present study was performed to determine if the sialophorin receptor was responsible for IAV-induced PMNL dysfunction. When PMNLs were incubated with IAV or CD43 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) for 30 minutes and then exposed to a secondary particulate (opsonized zymosan) or soluble (FMLP or phorbol 12- myristate 13-acetate) stimulus, there was significant depression of the PMNL chemiluminescence response compared with the equivalent control (P < .05). When PMNL were incubated with the CD43 MoAb and then cross- linked with a goat antimouse IgG antibody, no depression of PMNL function occurred upon secondary stimulation. Exposure of cells to IAV aggregates also eliminated the PMNL dysfunction that normally occurs due to the virus. Similar to IAV, PMNL dysfunction due to the CD43 MoAb could be overcome by priming the cells with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. These findings indicate that IAV-induced PMNL dysfunction is mediated, at least in part, through the sialophorin receptor.

Patients infected with influenza A virus (IAV) are at increased risk for bacterial superinfections, and this occurs in association with depressed polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) function. Recently, we reported that in vitro exposure of human PMNL to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) reverses IAV-induced cell dysfunction. The present study used an established animal model of IAV infection to examine whether G-CSF and/or GM-CSF can overcome IAV- induced PMNL dysfunction and thereby prevent secondary infections. Preliminary studies determined a dosing schedule of these cytokines that caused significant priming of chinchilla PMNL. In subsequent studies, animals were inoculated intranasally with IAV (day 1) followed 3 days later by Streptococcus pneumoniae, and administered daily intraperitoneal injections with a cytokine or placebo on days 3 through 9. Animals had blood obtained on multiple occasions for PMNL studies, and were followed-up for evidence of pneumococcal disease. Both cytokines caused significant priming of the PMNL chemiluminescence response and this was associated with reversal of the IAV-induced PMNL dysfunction. However, neither cytokine decreased the incidence of pneumococcal disease.

Macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor (M-CSFR/CSF1R) signaling is crucial for the differentiation, proliferation, and survival of myeloid cells. The CSF1R pathway is a promising therapeutic target in many human diseases, including neurological disorders or cancer. Zebrafish are commonly used for human disease modeling and preclinical therapeutic screening. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the proper function of cytokine signaling in zebrafish to reliably model human-related diseases. Here, we investigate the roles of zebrafish Csf1rs and their ligands - Csf1a, Csf1b and Il34, in embryonic and adult myelopoiesis. The proliferative effect of exogenous Csf1a on embryonic macrophages is connected to both receptors, Csf1ra and Csf1rb, however there is no evident effect of Csf1b in zebrafish embryonic myelopoiesis. Furthermore, we uncover an unknown role of Csf1rb in zebrafish granulopoiesis. Deregulation of Csf1rb signaling leads to failure in myeloid differentiation resulting in neutropenia throughout the whole lifespan. Surprisingly, Il34 signaling through Csf1rb seems to be of high importance as both csf1rbΔ4bp and il34Δ5bp deficient zebrafish larvae lack granulocytes. Our single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of adult whole kidney marrow (WKM) hematopoietic cells suggests that csf1rb is expressed mainly by blood and myeloid progenitors and that the expression of csf1ra and csf1rb is non-overlapping. We point out differentially expressed genes important in hematopoietic cell differentiation and immune response in selected WKM populations. Our findings could improve the understanding of myeloid cell function and lead to the further study of CSF1R pathway deregulation in disease, mostly in cancerogenesis.

Oei, Erwin, Thomas Kalb, Prarthana Beuria, Matthieu Allez, Atsushi Nakazawa, Miyuki Azuma, Michael Timony, Zanetta Stuart, Houchu Chen, and Kirk Sperber. Accessory cell function of airway epithelial cells.We previously demonstrated that airway epithelial cells (AECs) have many features of accessory cells, including expression of class II molecules CD80 and CD86 and functional Fcγ receptors. We have extended these studies to show that freshly isolated AECs have mRNA for cathepsins S, V, and H [proteases important in antigen (Ag) presentation], invariant chain, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DM-α and HLA-DM-β, and CLIP, an invariant chain breakdown product. A physiologically relevant Ag, ragweed, was colocalized with HLA-DR in AECs, and its uptake was increased by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and IFN-γ treatments, which had no effect on CD80 and CD86 expression. We demonstrate the presence of other costimulatory molecules, including B7h and B7-H1, on AECs and the increased expression of B7-H1 on AECs after treatment with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and IFN-γ. Finally, we compared T cell proliferation after allostimulation with AECs and dendritic cells (DCs). The precursor frequency of peripheral blood T cells responding to AECs was 0.264% compared with 0.55% for DCs. DCs stimulated CD45RO+, CD45RA+, CCR7+and CCR7−CD4+, and CD8+T cells, whereas AECs stimulated only CD45RO+, CD45RA−, CCR7−, CD4+, and CD8+T cells. There was no difference in cytokine production, type of memory T cells stimulated (effector vs. long-term memory), or apoptosis by T cells cocultured with AECs and DCs. The localization of AECs exposed to the external environment may make them important in the regulation of local immune responses.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by excessive immune responses to altered intestinal microbiota in genetically susceptible individuals. The diagnosis of IBD depends on clinical, endoscopic, histological, radiological and biochemical criteria, which may be invasive, time consuming and usually not accepted by patients with IBD. Key Messages: Serological biomarkers have been demonstrated to be a series of rapid, non-invasive approaches for assessments of early diagnosis, disease activity and prognosis for IBD. Importantly, serum antibodies against microbial antigens or auto-antigens have been used as biomarkers in predicting disease course, complications and responses to medications and surgery. Moreover, they have been demonstrated to be useful in distinguishing patients with Crohn's disease (CD) from those with ulcerative colitis (UC). Recently, a great number of new serum biomarkers (e.g., anti-glycoprotein 2, anti-granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody, anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibody, anti-laminaribioside carbohydrate IgG antibody, anti-mannobioside carbohydrate IgG antibody, antibody to the outer membrane protein of Escherichia coli, anti-CBir1) have been found to be present in patients with IBD and are potentially used in the diagnosis and prediction. The presence of these antibodies in the sera is due to the disruption of intestinal mucosa barrier and they may reflect a possibly genetic loss of immunological tolerance toward microbiota-derived antigens. Due to their non-invasive, easily accessible, repetitive and economical characteristics, these biomarkers have been found to serve as precious supplementary means in the diagnosis and disease evaluation of IBD. Conclusions: Currently, the most important utility of serological biomarkers is to evaluate the aggressive risks of disease phenotype, complications or surgery requirement, predict prognosis of the disease and distinguish CD from UC. However, they have limited values in making initially definite diagnosis for IBD. Therefore, more effective biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity need to be further explored in the future.

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor has been widely used as an adjuvant therapy for cancer patients exhibiting myelosuppression induced by chemotherapy or radiotherapy. However, the effects of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor on tumor growth, as well as its precise mechanism, are still controversial due to inconsistent evidence. This study investigated the effect of exogenous granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor on the growth of B16 melanoma, S180 sarcoma, and U14 cervical carcinoma in mice. The angiogenesis and recruitment of bone-marrow-derived cells were analyzed in tumor tissues. Interactions among granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, bone-marrow-derived cells, and B16 tumor cells were investigated in vitro. Proangiogenic types of bone-marrow-derived cells in blood were assessed both in vivo and in vitro. The results showed that granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor markedly facilitated the growth of B16 and S180 tumors, but not U14 tumors. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor increased the densities of blood vessels and the number of bone-marrow-derived cells in B16 tumor tissues. The granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor–induced enhancement of tumor cell proliferation was mediated by bone-marrow-derived cells in vitro. Meanwhile, a distinct synergistic effect on endothelial cell function between granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and bone-marrow-derived cells was observed. After separating two types of bone-marrow-derived cells, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor–induced enhancement of tumor growth and angiogenesis in vivo was mediated by proangiogenic cells in granulocytes, but not monocytes, with CD11b+, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, and C-X-C chemokine receptor 4 granulocytes possibly involved. These data suggest that granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor contributes to the growth and angiogenesis of certain types of tumor, and these mechanisms are probably mediated by proangiogenic cells in granulocytes. Applying granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor may attenuate the antitumor effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in certain types of tumor.
