Molecular antagonism and plasticity of regulatory and inflammatory T cell programs
Immunity29,44-56,July 18,2008
INTRODUCTION ABCD
+Naïve CD4 helper T (Th) cells, upon encountering their cognate antigens
presented on professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs), differentiate into effector
cells that are characterized by their cytokine production profiles and immune
regulatory functions. In addition to Th1 and Th2 cells (Dong and Flavell, 2000), a third subset of effector Th cells, Th17, has been identified, which produce IL-17, IL-17F and IL-22 and regulate inflammatory responses by tissue cells (Dong, 2008). Th17 differentiation in mouse is initiated by TGF-β and IL-6. Recently, IL-21 was reported as an autocrine factor induced by IL-6 to regulate Th17 differentiation.
STAT3, downstream of IL-6 and IL-21, is essential for RORγt and RORα expression
and Th17 differentiation (Laurence et al., 2007; Yang et al., 2007). STAT3 may function by regulating the expression of two orphan nuclear receptors RORγt and RORα in developing Th17 cells (Ivanov et al., 2006; Yang et al., 2008b). Thymus-derived natural regulatory T (nTreg) cells represent a unique
subpopulation of CD4+ T cells that inhibit T cell proliferation and autoimmune
responses (Wing et al., 2006). The hallmark of nTreg cells is the expression of Foxp3
transcription factor, which is required for maintaining Treg cell function (Williams and Rudensky, 2007). TGF-β has been shown to maintain peripheral nTreg; its
deficiency leads to development of early lethal autoimmunity (Marie et al., 2005; Shull et al., 1992). Moreover, in the presence of TGF-β, Foxp3 can be also induced in
naive T cells in periphery and the resulting inducible Treg (iTreg) cells exhibit a
suppressive phenotype similar to nTreg (Wing et al., 2006). (A)introductionA

As describe above, TGF-β is required for regulation of nTreg and iTreg cells, and it
is also involved in Th17 differentiation. Thus, there is not only functional antagonism
between Th17 and Treg cells in autoimmunity, as well as reciprocal regulation in the
generation of these cells. Although TGF-β induces Foxp3 expression, IL-6 and IL-21 inhibit this regulation and together with TGFβ drive Th17 differentiation. The
molecular mechanisms underlying this differential T cell fate decision initiated by
cytokines is unclear. (B)introductionB,

In the present study, we have analyzed the molecular interaction of Treg and Th17 cell genetic programs in
response to cytokine regulation. To better address this question, we utilized a Th17 reporter mouse with a red fluorescent protein (RFP) coding sequence inserted into the
IL-17F gene. Our data reveal intrinsic association of Th17 and Treg cell
differentiation programs in activated T cells in vitro and in vivo. In addition, we have analyzed the genetic programming and re-programming of Treg and Th17 cells. These
results thus have revealed the molecular antagonism of Treg and Th17 cell genetic
programs and indicated the plasticity of T cell differentiation programs. (C)(D)

14 secreting IFN-. A similarIFN-–dependent mechanism was involved in the rejectionof MHC
15class II–negative tumor in severe combined immunodeficient(SCID) mice. In some cases, the
ability to reject antigen-expressingtumor by specific naive Th cells was thought to be substantially

17,18 into T helper 1 (Th1) andT helper 2 (Th2) subsets. Limited studies indicate thatboth subtypes
19–21 elicit antitumor effects, but the Th1-polarizedcells, secreting IFN- and capable of enhancing
+22–25 activity of cytotoxicCD8 lymphocytes, have traditionally been regarded as more efficient.
+ However, it is also clear that CD4 T regulatory cells (T)can efficiently suppress the function regs+5,26–28 of antitumor CD8 T cells.(A)
Recently, the novel Th17 lineage, generated in the presenceof TGF-β and IL-6 and expanded
29–31 under the influence of IL-23, has been associated with responses against certain infectionsand
implicated in the development of autoimmunity in animalmodels that had been previously linked
32,33 to Th1-type responses(experimental autoimmune encephalitis, collagen-induced arthritis).
They also seem to play an important role in the pathogenesisof graft-versus-host disease
34,35 (GVHD). Th17 cells have been found in various tumors, including mycosis fungoides, Sézary
36,37 syndrome, and prostate cancer. Kryczek et al reported thepresence of naturally occurring

Nevertheless, the role of cancer-specific Th17cells in cancer immunity has not been elucidated, (B)

To compare the antitumor efficacy of in vitro–polarizedTCR transgenic Th1, Th17, and nonpolarized Th0 cells, we sought to develop a model that closely resembled human disease.(C)
Althoughseveral models have been
previously described, one of the mainflaws of currently available systems is that they usually
involveusing cancer cells modified to express potentially highly immunogenicforeign or
surrogate antigens (eg, OVA or H-Y in female hosts).In other cases, overexpression of potent
cytokines, includingIFN-, by the tumor cells was required to observe antitumor effects.
Frequently, only very early, small nonvascularized tumors orunrealistic microscopic hepatic or
pulmonary "metastases" couldbe treated. In other existing tumor models, treatment is givenbefore the tumor challenge. (A)

Tumor protection models may notmimic a clinically relevant scenario, and their
relevance tohuman patients with established disease is uncertain. (B)
In the clinical setting, solid tumors are large, vascularized,and poorly immunogenic. Immune responses against cancer can be regarded as
an autoimmune process where the targets are oftennonmutated self-proteins representing tissue differentiationantigens. As current models of CD4-based anticancer responses,even though valuable, have serious shortcomings and do not approximatea real-life scenario, we sought a novel, more realistic modelthat closely mimicked human
disease.(C)
We created a transgenicmouse that expresses a MHC class II–restricted TCR recognizingan endogenous melanocyte differentiation antigen called tyrosinase-relatedprotein 1 (TRP-1 or gp75). TRP-1 is present in normal melanocytesas well as in melanoma cells 49and therefore is a potential targetfor immunotherapy in humans. Using + tumor-specific CD4 effectorcells, we characterized in vitro Th1- and Th17-polarized subsetsand compared them with nonpolarized (Th0) cells.

Leukemia is the most common malignancy in children especially acute
lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), which accounts for 70% of pediatric leukemia.1
Multiagent chemotherapy is the standard treatment. Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of
the complications that occur during chemotherapy in ALL patients. The main etiology
of AP in ALL patients has been reported to be associated with L-asparaginase (L-asp) therapy. (A)The incidence of L-aspassociated AP in children with ALL has been
reported to be 2% to 18%.The other reported etiologies include cytosine arabinoside
(ara-C) therapy, hypercalcemia, and hypertriglyceridemia.
Although there have been many case reports in the literatures highlighting AP
after L-asp therapy, only few large case series were reported. The risk factors
predisposing for the development of AP have been rarely elucidated(B). AP in
children carries a significant morbidity and mortality. It seems therefore essential to identify the risk factors predisposing for AP and early recognition in such high-risk
patients. (C)
The objectives of this study were to determine the incidence, risk factors, clinical
manifestations, and outcome of AP in children with ALL after treatment with
chemotherapeutic agents. (D)

INTERMITTENT ANDROGEN SUPPRESSION IN PROSTATE
CANCER: THE CANADIAN EXPERIENCE
The role of androgen withdrawal is well established in the treatment of advanced
prostate cancer. Continuous androgen suppression usually results in a positive response, the pattern of which is highly predictable, and can be accomplished either
by surgical or medical castration. In metastatic cancer, the response rate is 70% to
80%, with a median duration of progression-free survival of 12 to 33 months and a
median duration of overall survival of 23 to 37 months.1,2 Unfortunately, there are
limitations to the continuous use of androgen withdrawal therapy. Early on, treatment
results in hot flashes, loss of libido, impotence, and general fatigue. Long-term
castration leads to bone demineralization, anemia, lipid disorders, and muscle
3,4wasting. [A]Most importantly, for reasons that remain unknown, the cell death process induced by androgen ablation fails to eliminate the entire malignant cell
population, and after a variable period, averaging 24 months, the tumor inevitably
recurs and is characterized by androgen-independent 5growth. [B]Treating these androgen-independent clones with systemic therapies has proved difficult, but it may prove possible to modulate the adaptive changes in gene expression that characterize or mediate progression to androgen independence. [C]The concept of intermittent androgen suppression (IAS) is based on the hypothesis that the maintenance of apoptotic potential by successive
rounds of androgen withdrawal and replacement might forestall tumor progression. The
availability of luteinizing hormone–releasing hormone (LHRH) superagonists and the
potential for a full recovery from their action makes it possible to deliver ablative therapy in intermittent pulses. [D]

Introduction
(A)The standard model of itch in the mouse has measured scratching in
response to pruritic stimuli delivered to the nape of the neck and For such a
method to model itch in humans, it would be desirable to meet three criteria.
First, the mouse should scratch to stimuli that evoke itch in humans. Second,
it should not scratch to stimuli that elicit only pain or other kinds of non-pruritic
sensations. Third, it would be desirable if the mouse emitted another type of
site-directed behavior, besides scratching, to the non-pruritic stimuli as
evidence for sensory detection. In this study we tested the second criterion in the standard model of itch and found that an intradermal injection of the algesic
agent, capsaicin, into the nape of the neck does indeed elicit scratching. The
third criterion cannot be met if the nape is used as the stimulus site simply
because only one type of site-directed behavior is possible, namely scratching
with the hind limb. (B)Thus, it was uncertain as to whether scratching to
capsaicin delivered to the nape indicated pain or itch, both or neither.
(C)This study tested whether the Kuraishi model could be modified in such a
way as to allow discrimination between stimuli that humans describe as
primarily painful or itchy. (D)Facial wiping with the forelimb has been used in
some studies as an indicator of pain in the mouse. It was therefore decided to
use the cheek as the site of application of substances of interest. The
substances were chosen based on the dominant qualities of sensation they
evoke in humans, i.e., capsaicin (pain) and histamine (itch). It was discovered
that in response to histamine, the mouse scratched the cheek with its hind limb;
in response to capsaicin, the mouse wiped the cheek with its forelimb.

Introduction
(A) Interleukin-1β(IL-1β) is a proin?ammatory cytokine produced by a variety
of cells including immune cells, neurons and glial cells [3]. The release of
IL-1βfrom these cells is frequently associated with in?ammation
and subsequently hyperalgesia (abnormally intense pain elicited by
noxious stimuli) [33]. Glial cells are activated during the in?ammatory
response and produce IL-1β[19,45,50,51]. Our recent investigations into
mechanical hyperalgesia and neuronal changes in sensitivity after
peripheral in?ammation revealed that activation of sensory ganglionic
satellite cells in vitro modulates the excitability of nociceptive TRG
neuronal cells via IL-1βinduced membrane depolarization and
up-regulation of IL-1βreceptors in the neuronal soma [45]. (B)We
proposed that these processes contribute to the mechanism underlying
trigeminal in?ammatory hyperalgesia [45].Voltage-gated K+ (Kv) channels are important physiological regulators of membrane potential in excitable
tissue, including sensory ganglia. (A)TRG neurons express two distinct
classes of K+ currents at varying levels including the
dominant-sustained K-current (IK) and the fast-inactivating transient
A-current (IA) [40,47]. IA is a member of the Kv 1.4 family of Kv channel
subunits[29]. Since Kv 1.4 channels are expressed in the small-diameter
(Ad-, C-?bers) neurons in the dorsal root ganglia, IA is thought to play a
signi?cant role in regulating the activity of nociceptive neurons [32].
Yoshimura et al.[48] demonstrated that in cyclophoshamide-induced
chronic cystitis, bladder afferent neurons with tetrodotoxin (TTX) resistant
spikes exhibited a lower threshold for spike activation with enhanced ?ring
capacity. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in?ammation potentiates the
excitability of small-diameter TRG neurons innervating TMJ by suppressing
IA via a hyperpolarizing shift in the inactivation curve without change in the
activation curve [44]. Desson and Ferguson [6] report that
IL-1β-induced suppression of IK leads to an increase in
membrane excitability of circumventricular organ neurons. The IL-1
β-induced suppression of IK also leads to membrane depolarization in
pheochromocytoma-12 (PC12) cells [34]. Taken together, these results suggest that IL-1βpotentiates the excitability of small-diameter TRG
neurons by modulation of Kv channels associated with
in?ammation-induced up-regulation of IL-1βreceptors. (C) (D)This study investigates the modulation of Kv channels by IL-1βand the relationship between modulation of Kv channels and excitability of small-diameter
TRG neurons following in?ammation using perforated patch-clamp techniques.
Prospective identification of tumorigenic breast
cancer cells
Despite advances in detection and treatment of metastatic breast cancer,
mortality from this disease remains high because current therapies are
limited by the emergence of therapy-resistant cancer cells. As a result,
metastatic breast cancer remains an incurable disease by current treatment
strategies. Cancers are believed to arise from a series of sequential
mutations that occur as a result of genetic instability and/or
environmental factors. A better understanding of the consequences of
these mutations on the underlying biology of the neoplastic cells may
lead to new therapeutic strategies. In solid tumors, it has been
demonstrated that only a small proportion of the tumor cells are able to
formcolonies in an in vitro clonogenic assay. Furthermore, large numbers
of cells must typically be transplanted to form tumors in xenograft
models. One possible explanation for these observations is that every cell
within a tumor has the ability to proliferate and form new tumors but that
the probability of an individual cell completing the necessary steps in
these assays is small. An alternative explanation is that only a rare, phenotypically distinct subset of cells has the capacity to significantly
proliferate and form new tumors, but that cells within this subset do so very efficiently. To distinguish between these possibilities, it is necessary
to identify the clonogenic cells in these tumors with markers that
distinguish these cells from other nontumorigenic cells. This
identification has been accomplished in acute myelogenous leukemia,
where it was demonstrated that a specific subpopulation of leukemia cells
(that expressed markers similar to normal hematopoietic stem cells) was
consistently enriched for clonogenic activity in nonobese diabeticysevere
combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) immunocompromised mice,
whereas other cancer cells were depleted of clonogenic activity.(A)
Such experiments have not been reported in solid cancers. (B) If this
model were also true for solid tumors, and only a small subset of cells
within a tumor possess the capacity to proliferate and form new tumors,
this finding would have significant implications forunderstanding the
biology of and developing therapeutic strategies for these neoplasms.
(C) To investigate the mechanisms of solid tumor heterogeneity, we developed a modification of the NOD/SCID mouse model in which
human breast cancers were efficiently propagated in the mouse mammary
fat pad. In the present study, we show that solid tumors contain a distinct
population of cells with the exclusive ability to formtumors in mice. We
refer to these cells as tumorigenic cells, or cancer-initiating cells, because
they consistently formed tumors, whereas other cancer cell populations
were depleted of cells capable of tumor formation.Weidentified cell
surface markers that can distinguish between these cell populations. Our
findings provide a previously uncharacterized model of breast tumor
biology in which a defined subset of cells drives tumorigenesis, as well as
generating tumor cell heterogeneity. The prospective identification of this
tumorigenic population of cancer cells should allow for the identification
of molecules expressed in these cells that could serve as targets to
eliminate this critical population of cancer cells. (D) 这篇引言为漏斗形结构,见如上A、B、C、D。红色标记为连接词,它们使文章层次清楚,意思明确,上下文连接流畅。
Angiogenin is involved in lung adenocarcinoma cell
proliferation and angiogenesis
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide.
In China, over 20% cancer deaths were caused by lung cancer and it has
been considered the most important cancer type in Cancer Prevention and
Control by the Ministry of Health of China. The incidence of lung cancer
has also increased dramatically in Shanghai, China, and it is ranked as the
first and the second malignancy in male and female populations,
respectively. According to the WHO classification, lung cancer can be
categorized into small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and non-small cell lung
cancer (NSCLC), which includes adenocarcinoma (AdC), squamous cell
carcinoma (SqC), large cell carcinoma (LCC) and other subtypes, of
which AdC accounts for more than 40% of all lung cancers. Numerous
studies noted that the incidence of lung cancer is increasing worldwide
since survival remains poor. Moreover, no better effective therapy cure has been developed for the past 20 years.
Angiogenin, a basic heparin-binding protein of 14.4 kDa originally
isolated from the conditionedmedium of HT-29 human colon
adenocarcinoma cells based on its angiogenic activity, has been shown to
play a role in tumor angiogenesis. It interactswith endothelial cells to
induce a wide range of cellular responses including migration,
proliferation, and tube formation, all of which are essential in the process
of angiogenesis. The activity of angiogenin is relatively low as compared with that of vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast
growth factor. However, angiogenin has a comparable angiogenic activity
in various in vivo angiogenesis assays. Angiogenin is able to bind to
ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene and stimulate rRNA transcription in
endothelial cells. Inhibition of nuclear translocation of angiogenin and
mutagenesis at its nuclear localization sequence both potently inhibit the
angiogenic activity.
Tsuji et al. further demonstrated that angiogenin, in addition to its role
in mediating angiogenesis, was constantly translocated to the nucleus of
HeLa cells in a cell density-independent manner, and that
down-regulation of angiogenin expression by antisense and RNA
interference resulted in a decrease in rRNA transcription, ribosome
biogenesis, proliferation, and tumorigenesis both in vitro and in vivo.
Yoshioka et al. also reported that angiogenin directly stimulated prostate
cancer cell proliferation, and that knocking down angiogenin expression
in PC-3 human prostate adenocarcinoma cells inhibited ribosomal RNA
transcription, in vitro cell proliferation, soft agar colony formation and
xenograft growth in athymic mice. (A)However, angiogenin does not exhibit nuclear expression in allhumanmalignancies. Many types
ofhumancancer, such as colorectal carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma
and gastric carcinoma, only present cytoplasm staining. (B) Thus, it is
plausible that angiogenin may play distinct roles in different tumor types.
(C)
In the present study, we demonstrated by immunochemical staining
that nuclear expression of angiogenin was present in 100 resected lung
AdC tissue specimens and A549 cell line. In addition, we confirmed its biological role by inhibiting angiogenin expression using
adenoviral-vector based small interfering RNA (siRNA) technique, and
presumed to suggest that angiogenin may be a good candidate for the
treatment of lung AdC. (D)
