Abstract
IL-4 and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) are crucial modulators of the immune system and are reported as active antitumor agents and potent inhibitors of angiogenesis. We investigated the effects of these two cytokines on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a mediator of major importance in the angiogenesis associated with inflammation, wound healing and tumor invasion and expressed by activated keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts. Human keratinocytes (HK) and fibroblasts (HF) derived from foreskins, were further cultured during 24 h in defined medium, supplemented or not with the selected growth factors, EGF and TGF-beta1, respectively, before receiving the addition of either IL-4 or IFN-gamma during 24 and 48 h. In basal conditions, fibroblasts produced smaller amounts of VEGF than keratinocytes; the addition of growth factors to the skin cells induced a drastic increase of VEGF secretion. In HF, the basal level of VEGF secretion was reduced by IFN-gamma and slightly increased by IL-4 whereas in HK, IFN-gamma enhanced the secretion of VEGF after 48 h and IL-4 either tended to reduce VEGF secretion or did not exert any effect. Similar but more significant results were observed in skin cells activated by growth-stimulating factors. The association of IL-4 and IFN-gamma mimicked the effects of IFN-gamma alone both in HF and HK. Taken together, these results indicate opposite effects of IFN-gamma and IL-4 on VEGF expression from normal and activated HF and HK. IL-4 may be considered as a poor modulator of VEGF secretion by dermal and epidermal cells. Conversely, IFN-gamma appears as a prominent and versatile mediator in the desregulated angiogenesis associated with inflammatory skin reactions characterized by a T-helper type 1 cell-mediated response.

Abstract
In this study, we analyzed the specific effects of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta1) and/or IL-4 on monocyte-derived cells. Monocytes were cultured with GM-CSF, GM-CSF/TGF-beta1, GM-CSF/IL-4, or GM-CSF/IL-4/TGF-beta1 before cell morphology, phenotype, and function were assessed. As expected, interleukin-4 is mandatory for monocyte differentiation into potent allostimulatory DC. In its absence, monocyte-derived cells share many phenotypic and functional features with macrophages. However, it is interesting that the cells express E-cadherin, independent of exogenous TGF-beta1, and addition of the cytokine induced CCR6 expression. Most importantly, a subset of monocytes cultured with GM-CSF/TGF-beta1 expresses Langerin, as confirmed by electron microscopy analysis. Langerin engagement with specific monoclonal antibodies induces its internalization and the formation of typical Birbeck granules. Monocytes cultured in GM-CSF/IL-4 did not express the LC markers E-cadherin, CCR6, or Langerin. The simultaneous addition of TGF-beta1 allows most of the cells to express E-cadherin but rarely CCR6 and Langerin. Taken together, the results add further evidence that LC can derive from monocytes and demonstrate an antagonistic effect of IL-4 and TGF-beta1 on monocyte differentiation toward the LC pathway.

Abstract
Tumour-derived factors suppress differentiation and function of in vitro generated DC. Here, we investigate the effect of two melanoma clones differing in their invasive and metastatic properties on the generation and/or functional maturation of human epidermal LC. LC were generated from CD34(+) cord blood progenitors under GM-CSF/TNF-alpha/TGF-beta 1. CD34(+) cells were co-cultured with or without melanoma cells using Transwell dishes. After 11 days of co-culture, CD34(+)-derived cells display a non-adherent undifferentiated morphology, a high level of monocytic CD14 marker, a down-regulated expression of LC markers (CD1a, E-cadherin) and DC markers (CD40, CD80, CD54, CD58, CD83, CD86, HLA-DR, HLA-class I). These cells were less potent than control LC in inducing allogeneic T cell proliferation. The generation of the CD14(+) population was correlated with a decrease in the CD1a(+) population, without any statistical differences between the two clones. Melanoma cells diverted the differentiation of CD34(+) cells towards a dominant CD14(+) population only if the progenitors were in an early growth phase. IL-10, TGF-beta 1 and VEGF were not responsible for these effects, as assessed by using blocking antibodies. By contrast, co-culture of fresh epidermal LC with melanoma cells did not affect their phenotype and function. Our data demonstrate that melanoma cells inhibit the earliest steps of LC differentiation, but failed to affect the functional maturation of epidermal LC. This suggests that melanoma cells participate in their own escape from immunosurveillance by preventing LC generation in the local cutaneous microenvironment.

Abstract
The microgravity experienced during space flight induces physiological changes that affect astronauts' health and performance. Simulations such as prolonged bed rest can mimic some of these changes and provide study conditions that are more accessible than during space flight itself. Previous studies, including several long and short-term bed-rest campaigns supported by ESA, have yielded significant medical data on the physiological changes induced by space flight. These data are being used extensively to study the effects of various countermeasures on those physiological changes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this work was to assess the acceptability of computerized prescriptions delivered by hospital prescribers. METHODS The study was conducted in four clinical units of the Grenoble University Hospital that have a computerized prescription system. Forty-four physicians using the system responded to a questionnaire concerning the act of prescribing and the benefits or drawbacks of the system. RESULTS Generally, the computerized prescription system was well accepted. The first drawback mentioned was the time spent manipulating the software. Safe prescription was noted as one of the advantages. Overall, organizational rather than technical factors appeared to condition the development of computerized prescription writing. CONCLUSION Optimization of computerized prescription writing requires a reorganization of the care unit. Consultation schedules and working relations between the prescriber and other healthcares and hospital pharmacies will have to be adapted.

Abstract
HIV can cross the intact epithelium of genital mucosae via Langerhans cells. Fresh Langerhans cells are known to express CD4 and CCR5. The presence of CXCR4 on the surface of cultured but not freshly isolated Langerhans cells has been described. In the present study, we demonstrate that CXCR4 was expressed by fresh Langerhans cells isolated and purified from epidermis. However, the percentage of Langerhans cells expressing CXCR4 or CCR5 increased during maturation of the cells in culture, especially in the presence of exogenous granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. To determine whether CXCR4 was functional, freshly isolated Langerhans cells were infected with HIV LAI, a T-cell-tropic strain, and p24 protein production was measured in culture supernatants. p24 production was observed when infected Langerhans cells were cocultured with SupT1 cells. However, the presence of HIV provirus DNA was evidenced within the infected Langerhans cells by nested PCR. Ultrastructural studies confirmed the formation of syncytia when Langerhans cells were cocultured with SupT1 cells. Preincubation of Langerhans cells with azidothymidine or SDF-1-alpha, a natural ligand for CXCR4, prevented infection. These data demonstrated that CXCR4 is present on the surface of Langerhans cells freshly isolated from human skin epidermis and that this expression is functional.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN Exposure to UV radiation is responsible for skin erythema and inflammation. PGE2 is an important inflammatory mediator involved in this process and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent vascular permeability factor mainly produced by epidermal keratinocytes. This study was aimed at determining whether UVB/A1 radiation and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) could modulate the production of VEGF by cultured dermal human fibroblasts (HF) in comparison to keratinocytes (HK). MATERIALS AND METHODS The skin cells derived from foreskin, were cultured in defined medium before treatment by either UVB/A1 radiation, or stimulation by addition of PGE2 (10(-8) to 10(-5) M). The expression of VEGF in cultured fibroblasts and keratinocytes was evaluated at the mRNA (RT-PCR) and protein levels (ELISA). RESULTS The basal level of VEGF was lower in HF than in HK. Both UVB and UVA1 radiation strongly up-regulated VEGF mRNA and protein in HF whereas UVB but not UVA1 radiation induced a VEGF increase in HK only at the protein level. UVA1, when associated with UVB radiation, showed an additive effect on VEGF secretion in HF but not in HK. PGE2 increased in a dose-dependent manner the expression of VEGF in HF but not in HK. Indomethacin as well as the antioxidant alpha-tocopherol did not reduce UV-induced enhanced secretion of VEGF by both fibroblasts and keratinocytes whereas pyrolidine dithiocarbamate exerted an inhibition of this overexpression. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate different signaling pathways in the PGE2 and UV-induced regulation of VEGF in dermal fibroblasts and epidermal keratinocytes. They also suggest a role for VEGF from both fibroblasts and keratinocytes in the UV-induced erythema, independent of PGE2. A dermal overexpression of VEGF by fibroblasts from UV-irradiated skin may contribute to dilated microvasculature, a feature of skin photoaging and more generally, to a more permissive stroma to tumor formation than unexposed skin.

Abstract
The comparison of the gene expression profiles between two subpopulations of melanoma cells (1C8 and T1C3) derived from the tumor of one patient by cDNA array revealed differences in GAPDH and beta-actin gene levels. These two housekeeping genes were up-regulated in invasive T1C3 melanoma cells compared to noninvasive 1C8 cells. Since cDNA array results were not confirmed by conventional RT-PCR throughout the exponential phase of amplification, we performed duplex relative RT-PCR using ribosomal 18S RNA as internal standard including competimer technology. Statistical analyses provided significant evidence that invasive T1C3 melanoma cells exhibited a twofold higher mRNA level of both GAPDH and beta-actin than noninvasive 1C8 cells. This study demonstrates that the duplex relative RT-PCR procedure including ribosomal 18S RNA as internal standard and competimer technology is precise for RNA quantification and is tailored for cDNA array validation. Our data provide molecular evidence that cellular subpopulations of the same pathological origin are highly heterogeneous and extend the concept that the selection of an appropriate internal control for comparative mRNA analysis should be adapted to each model of human cancers.

Abstract
The dermis harbors a true dendritic cell population that could elicit primary allogeneic T cell responses in vitro and contact hypersensitivity reactions in vivo. The origin of dermal dendritic cells remains poorly understood, however. In this study, we analyzed the fate of monocytes or monocyte-derived dendritic cells in a dermal equivalent. Freshly isolated monocytes or monocytes cultured for 6 d with either GM-CSF/IL-4 or GM-CSF/IL-4/TGF-beta 1 (TGF-DC) were seeded in a collagen solution with normal human fibroblasts. The lattices were cultured for 7--14 d in the presence, or absence, of the exogenous cytokines, before phenotypic and functional studies were performed. Supply of exogenous cytokines allows the appearance of typical CD1a(+)/CD14(-)/CD68(low) dendritic cells with significant allostimulatory property, regardless of the cell type incorporated into the lattices. In cytokine-free conditions, monocytes and GM-CSF/IL-4-derived dendritic cells give rise to a CD1a(-)/CD14(+)/CD68(high) monocyte/macrophage population with no allostimulatory property. When incorporated into the lattices in the absence of exogenous cytokines the TGF-DC express few CD68 and FXIIIa. Interestingly, these cells do not all convert into the CD14(+)/CD1a(-) population. Indeed, a small HLA-DR(+)/CD1a(+)/CD14(-) subset was consistently found, which represents about one-third of the HLA-DR(+) cells. Moreover, TGF-DC recovered from the lattices after culture without cytokines do display a significant allostimulatory function. Thus, in the absence of exogenous cytokines, only Langerhans-cell-like dendritic cells can retain the typical dendritic cell features when inserted in a dermal environment. Taken together, these results may provide evidence supporting an epidermal origin of dermal dendritic cells.

Abstract
Signals regulating the traffic of Langerhans cell precursors from blood to the epidermis are not yet fully understood. The observations that TGF-beta1 is of unique importance in Langerhans cells (LC) ontogeny and that macrophage inflammatory protein-3alpha (MIP-3alpha) is able to attract LC within the epidermis, prompted us to study the effect of MIP-3alpha and TGF-beta1 on the migration of LC precursors. The migratory capacity of immature dendritic cells (DC) was assessed using a reconstituted basement membrane assay (Matrigel), mimicking the prerequisite passage through the dermal-epidermal basement membrane on the way into the epidermis. DC differentiated from cord blood CD34 cells in the presence of GM-CSF plus TNF-alpha were subjected to migration using modified Boyden chambers. Day-6 DC progenitors migrated in a dose-dependent fashion in response to MIP-3alpha, and CD1alpha+ LC precursors responded preferentially to the chemokine. Immature DC did not respond strongly to TGF-beta1 alone in migration assays, but up to 68% of the cells migrated in response to MIP-3alpha plus TGF-beta1. Among them, at least 50% expressed CD1a and E-cadherin and can be considered LC precursors. The allostimulatory function of these cells was significantly more potent than that which migrated in response to MIP-3alpha alone. Our results show that a significant proportion of immature DC is able to migrate through a dermal-epidermal basement membrane equivalent. In the presence of TGF-beta1, the DC which respond to MIP-3alpha have the phenotype and the functional capacity of epidermal LC. Our findings underline the role of MIP-3alpha and TGF-beta1 in attraction and localization of immature LC within the epidermis under normal conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The expression of receptors for neuropeptides in the skin is modified in skin diseases. OBJECTIVE We studied the cutaneous expression of substance P (SP) and somatostatin (SOM) receptors (SPR and SSTR, respectively) in skin affected by cutaneous inflammatory or tumoral T-cell infiltrates because these two neuropeptides are the ones most involved in inflammation. METHODS We revealed expression of these receptors using a binding in situ technique that gave highly specific results. Skin biopsies were incubated with biotinylated neuropeptides (SP or SOM). RESULTS In normal skin, SSTR were observed on blood vessels, smooth muscle fibres and sweat glands. SSTR expression was modified only when expressed by keratinocytes in Ofuji papuloerythroderma and by plasmocytes in plasmocytoma. SPR distribution was not modified in subjects with atopic dermatitis or lupus. The expression of SPR in the epidermis was diminished in Ofuji papuloerythroderma and parapsoriasis and absent in mycosis fungoides. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that malignant lymphocytic infiltrates can inhibit SPR expression on keratinocytes.

Abstract
In the present work the adsorption kinetics of the six metal ions aluminum, zinc, mercury, lead, copper, and cadmium onto living microalgae were measured. The freshwater green microalga Scenedesmus subspicatus, the brackish water diatom Cyclotella cryptica, the seawater diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, and the seawater red alga Porphyridium purpureum were the subject of investigation. In most cases the adsorption rate of the metals could be well described by using the equation of the Langmuir adsorption rate expression. Inverse parameter estimation allowed the determination of the rate constants of the adsorption process and the maximum metal content of the algae. The highest values for the rate constant were obtained for Porphyridium purpureum followed by Phaeodactylum tricornutum. High values for the maximum content were obtained for Cyclotella cryptica and Scenedesmus subspicatus. The maximum rate constant was 24.21 h-1 for the adsorption of Hg to Porphyridium purpureum whereas the maximum metal content (0.243 g g-1) was obtained for Zn on Cyclotella cryptica. A comparison of these values with those obtained for the mineral siliceous earth exhibiting low maximum content and high adsorption rates reveals that the mechanism of adsorption onto the algae is a mixture of adsorption and accumulation.
