The immune enhancement of propolis adjuvant on inactivated porcine parvovirus vaccine in guinea pig

Two experiments were carried out. In immune response test, the immune enhancement of propolis, oilemulsion and aluminium salt were compared in guinea pig vaccinated with inactivated porcine parvovirus (PPV) vaccine. The result showed that three adjuvants could enhance antibody titer, T lymphocyte proliferation, IL-2 and IL-4 secretion of splenic lymphocyte. The action of propolis was similar to that of oilemulsion and superior to that of aluminium salt, especially in early period of vaccination propolis could accelerate antibody production. In immune protection test, the effects of three adjuvants on PPV infection were compared in guinea pig vaccinated with PPV vaccine then challenged with PPV. The result showed that propolis and oilemulsion could enhance the antibody titer, IL-2 and IL-4 content in serum and decrease the PPV content in blood and viscera. In the effect of improving cellular immune response, the propolis was the best. These results indicated that propolis possessed better immune enhancement and would be exploited into a effective adjuvant of inactivated vaccine.     

Haptoglobin and the Th1/Th2 balance: hints from in vitro and in vivo studies

A variety of immunomodulatory effects have previously been attributed to haptoglobin (Hp). These are supposed to be partly mediated through binding of Hp to CD11b. In the present study, we assessed its effects on T-helper (Th) cytokine production following both in vitro and in vivo stimulation of T-cells. Hp exhibits a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on human T lymphocyte release of the Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-10 and IL-13) in vitro, whereas it has no clear effect on Th1 cytokine (IL-2 and IFN-gamma) release. When administered an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, Hp knockout mice produced more IL-4 and less IFN-gamma than did their wild-type litter-mates. Our findings imply that Hp may be regarded as a regulator of the Th1/Th2 balance in both human and murine immune systems.     

IL-10 mediation of activation-induced TH1 cell apoptosis and lymphoid dysfunction in polymicrobial sepsis

Recent studies suggest that increased activation-induced lymphocyte apoptosis (AICD) is detected in mouse splenocytes during polymicrobial sepsis which may contribute to lymphocyte immune dysfunction [i.e., decreased interleukin (IL-)2 and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production] leading to the associated morbidity seen in those animals. Thus, we wanted to examine the hypothesis that immune suppressive agents, such as IL-4, IL-10 or prostaglandin E2(PGE2), known to be elevated in septic animals, also contribute to this increase in AICD. Here we demonstrate that the inclusion of monoclonal antibody (mAb) to IL-10, but not anti-IL-4 or ibuprofen (IBU), blunted this sepsis induced increase in splenocyte AICD. Additionally, septic mice deficient in the IL-10 gene product (-/-) showed neither an increase in AICD nor a loss of IL-2/IFN-gamma release capacity. Interestingly, mAb to IL-10 did not altered the extent of AICD in a Th2-cell line, but exogenous IL-10 did potentiate Th1-like cell line AICD. This was consistent with the finding that the increased AICD seen in septic mouse splenocytes was restricted largely to the CD4+ cells producing IL-2 (Th1-cells) and that mAb to IL-10 treatment suppressed this change. Furthermore, IL-10 appears to mediate its AICD effect by upregulation of the Fas receptor and Fas receptor signaling protein components, but not by altered expression of Bcl/Bax/Bad family members, in septic mouse splenocytes. To the extent that these processes contribute in a pathological fashion to the animal's capacity to survive sepsis we have previously observed that in vivo post-treatment of mice with mAb IL-10 markedly attenuated septic mortality. Collectively, these data indicate that in the septic mouse the Th2 cytokine IL-10 not only serves to actively induce Th1 lymphocyte immune dysfunction but also plays a role in their apoptotic depletion. These processes in turn appear to contribute to the animal's inability to ward off lethal septic challenge.     

Effect of methanol intoxication on spcific immune functions of albino rats

Our previous studies revealed that methanol intoxication significantly altered the non-specific immune functions in albino rats. The present investigation focuses on the effect of methanol on certain specific immune functions of cell mediated immunity such as footpad thickness, leukocyte migration inhibition test (LMI) and antibody levels. In addition, serum interleukins (IL-2, IL-4, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma), and splenic lymphocyte subsets were measured after an immune challenge. The specific immune function tests were carried out in three different groups of albino rats, which include control, 15 and 30 days methanol intoxication. Our study reports that animal body weight, organ weight ratio, lymphoid cell counts, footpad thickness, antibody titer, IL-2, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, Pan T cell, CD4, macrophages, MHC class II molecule expression, and B cell counts were significantly decreased compared to control animals nevertheless, LMI, IL-4, and DNA single strand breakage were increased significantly. Plasma corticosterone level was significantly increased in the 15 days group whereas the 30 days methanol intoxication group showed considerable decrease in corticosterone level compared with control animals. Therefore, our investigation concluded that repeated exposure of methanol profoundly suppressed the cell mediated and humoral immune functions in albino rats.     

The abnormal apoptosis of T cell subsets and possible involvement of IL-10 in systemic lupus erythematosus

To study the apoptosis of lymphocyte subpopulations in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and the possible role of IL-10 in this apoptosis involved in the pathogenesis of SLE, three color fluorescence and flow cytometry were used to investigate the early apoptosis of lymphocyte subsets from freshly separated or cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). ELISA was employed to detect the levels of IL-10 in serum and the levels of sFas and sFasL in cultured PBMC supernatants, and the results of sFas and sFasL were confirmed by real-time PCR of Fas and FasL mRNA. The results showed that in cells from SLE patients, the apoptosis of CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells was distinctly increased, and the percentage of CD4+ cells and the CD4/CD8 ratio was significantly decreased, as compared with normal controls. The apoptosis of T lymphocytes cultured with SLE serum was markedly higher than that of cells cultured with control's serum. Blockade of interleukin-10 (IL-10) activation by an anti-IL-10 antibody reduced the SLE serum induced apoptosis of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. The levels of sFas and sFasL in the culture supernatant and Fas and FasL mRNA expressions in cultured cells were significantly higher in the SLE serum-cultured groups, but decreased evidently in the presence of the anti-IL-10 antibody. Above findings suggested that SLE cells showed abnormally high apoptosis of T lymphocytes, especially of the CD4+ subpopulation, resulting in a decreased CD4/CD8 ratio. The high percentage of apoptotic T cells in SLE patients may be related to the high levels of IL-10 in SLE serum, as IL-10 may induce the abnormally activated T cells to trigger apoptosis via the Fas-FasL pathway.
