趋化因子及趋化因子受体在急性胰腺炎中的研究进展

普遍认为,急性胰腺炎起始于腺泡细胞内的胰蛋白酶原激活,随后引起的炎症反应加剧病情,也是多器官功能衰竭的主要原因。然而,最新的研究表明,急性胰腺炎引起的炎症反应是不依赖于胰蛋白酶原激活的独立病理过程。趋化因子作为能引起细胞趋化的细胞因子,通过与趋化因子受体作用,不但能调控淋巴细胞的生长、成熟和迁移,也参与多种炎症疾病与癌症的病理过程。近年来,多项研究已经阐述趋化因子及趋化因子受体在急性胰腺炎的发病发展过程中起到至关重要的作用。本文总结了CC,CXC和CX3C趋化因子家族成员在参与急性胰腺炎的炎症反应及对胰腺损伤的修复的研究进展,这将为AP临床治疗方案的设计提供新思路。     

The role of interferon γ in regulation of CD4 T-cells and its clinical implications

Interferon γ (IFNγ) plays a central role in the immune response against infection and tumur immune surveillance. Its functions include not only activation of the host immune system to control microbial infections but also repression of autoimmune responses by turning on T-regulatory cells and increasing T effector cell apoptosis. Defects in IFNγ and IFNγ receptor genes have been associated with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis. However, treatment of autoimmune diseases by supplementing with IFNγ has been satisfactory due to its broad biological effects. Instead, its target T-regulatory cells may be used for the clinical treatment of autoimmune diseases. Future study could also focus on promotion of the beneficial effects of IFNγ and blocking those unwanted IFNγ-induced activities.     

A mathematical design of vector vaccine against autoimmune disease

Viruses have been implicated in the initiation, progression, and exacerbation of several human autoimmune diseases. Evidence also exists that viruses can protect against autoimmune disease. Several proposed mechanisms explain the viral effects. One mechanism is “molecular mimicry” which represents a shared immunologic epitope with a microbe and the host. We consider, using a simple mathematical model, whether and how a viral infection with molecular mimicry can be beneficial or detrimental for autoimmune disease. Furthermore, we consider the possibility of development of a vector therapeutic vaccine that can relieve autoimmune disease symptoms. Our findings demonstrate that vaccine therapy success necessitates (i) appropriate immune response function, (ii) appropriate affinities with self and non-self antigen, and (iii) a replicative vector vaccine. Moreover, the model shows that the viral infection can cause autoimmune relapses.     

Paclitaxel may inhibit autoimmune diseases by sparing or increasing the number of CD4(+) CD25(+) regulatory T cells

Paclitaxel, a representative of taxanes, exhibits cytotoxic effects against a broad range of tumors. Strikingly, an emerging body of data suggests that paclitaxel also exerts effects on immune system by stimulating anti-tumor and anti-autoimmunity effects, supporting the idea that paclitaxel suppresses tumor through several mechanisms and not solely through inhibiting cell division. Based on the accumulating data, we hypothesized that paclitaxel may inhibit autoimmune diseases by sparing or actively increasing the number of CD4(+) CD25(+) Treg cells. The hypothesis, if proved to be correct, will significantly improve our understanding of the tumor immunity, autoimmunity and its related pathological effects. It will influence our choice on immunosuppressive drugs for cancer patients with autoimmune diseases. It will also impact the immunotherapy for tumors.     

Effects of antibiotics on modern chronic diseases

The discovery of antibiotics is the miracle of modern medicine,which has contributed greatly to the protection of human health.However,in despite of medical advances to date,some quite inexplicable modern diseases are still haunting us.These chronic diseases are less fierce in fatality,but more permanently compromise the quality of patients′lives.In this paper,the relevant background knowledge about antibiotics were introduced and the relationship between antibiotics and several common chronic diseases was analyzed,in order to promote the rational use of antibiotics and the correct view on antibiotics.
