Mass spectrometry imaging identifies palmitoylcarnitine as an immunological mediator during Salmonella Typhimurium infection. Sci Rep 2017; 7:2786.

Abstract
Salmonella Typhimurium causes a self-limiting gastroenteritis that may lead to systemic disease. Bacteria invade the small intestine, crossing the intestinal epithelium from where they are transported to the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) within migrating immune cells. MLNs are an important site at which the innate and adaptive immune responses converge but their architecture and function is severely disrupted during S. Typhimurium infection. To further understand host-pathogen interactions at this site, we used mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) to analyse MLN tissue from a murine model of S. Typhimurium infection. A molecule, identified as palmitoylcarnitine (PalC), was of particular interest due to its high abundance at loci of S. Typhimurium infection and MLN disruption. High levels of PalC localised to sites within the MLNs where B and T cells were absent and where the perimeter of CD169+ sub capsular sinus macrophages was disrupted. MLN cells cultured ex vivo and treated with PalC had reduced CD4+CD25+ T cells and an increased number of B220+CD19+ B cells. The reduction in CD4+CD25+ T cells was likely due to apoptosis driven by increased caspase-3/7 activity. These data indicate that PalC significantly alters the host response in the MLNs, acting as a decisive factor in infection outcome.

El-Fawal HAN, McCain WC. Antibodies to neural proteins in organophosphorus-induced delayed neuropathy (OPIDN) and its amelioration. Neurotoxicol Teratol 2008; 30:161-6. [PMID: 18353611 DOI: 10.1016/j.ntt.2008.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2007] [Revised: 01/27/2008] [Accepted: 01/29/2008] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
The development of OPIDN and the efficacy of experimental intervention using the calcium-channel blocker verapamil were used as a model to test the serial time-measurements of serum autoantibodies against neuronal cytoskeletal proteins [e.g., neurofilament triplet (NF)] and glial proteins [myelin-basic protein (MBP) and glial fibrillary-acidic protein (GFAP)] as biomarkers of neurotoxicity and its amelioration. Ten White Leghorn hens (>7 months, 1.2-1.8 kg) were administered phenyl-saligenin phosphate (PSP; 2.5 mg/kg; im), a dose reported to induce a 70% decrease in neurotoxic esterase (NTE) activity. Five of the hens were administered verapamil (7 mg/kg; im) for 4 days starting one day before PSP administration. Serum was isolated from blood collected by serial brachial venepuncture before PSP (day 0) administration and on days 3, 7 and 21 after PSP administration, each hen acting as its own control. Serum antibodies (IgG) to NF-L, NF-M, NF-H, MBP, and GFAP were assayed using an ELISA. There were no detectable levels of antibodies on days 0 and 3. IgG against all neural proteins were detected on days 7 and 21, with titer levels being significantly (p< or =0.05) higher in sera of hens receiving PSP only. Anti-NF-L titers were highest compared to those against NF-M, NF-H or MBP at 21 days. Titers of anti-NF-L and anti-MBP significantly (p< or =0.01) correlated with clinical scores at days 7 and 21. Detection of anti-NF and anti-MBP antibodies confirms the neuroaxonal degeneration accompanied by myelin loss reported in this model of OPIDN and the amelioration of neuropathy using verapamil. The detection of anti-GFAP antibodies suggests CNS involvement in OPIDN, since astrocytes are only found therein. This study demonstrates that detection of neuroantibodies can be used as biomarkers of neuropathy development and to monitor the amelioration resulting from therapeutic intervention. Together with biomarkers of exposure neuroantibodies can be used to monitor neuropathogenesis due to environmental or occupational exposures.

Abstract
It is generally accepted that phosphorylation plays a pivotal role in the cellular response of cell differentiation and proliferation. Immunohistochemical expression of classical protein kinase C (cPKC) subspecies (alpha, beta and gamma) in eight reactive lymphoid tissues, three normal spleens and 149 non-Hodgkin's lymphomas was examined. cPKC beta was observed primarily in the mantle zone B cells, but appeared as very faint staining in Ki-67 positive proliferated B cells in the germinal centers of secondary lymph follicles. In contrast to the reactive state, high levels of cPKC subspecies were recognized in the majority of 149 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, including those thought to have arisen from germinal center cells such as follicular lymphoma. The expression of cPKC alpha was found in higher frequency in T cell lymphomas than B cell lymphomas (P < 0.01) by the Chi-squared test. High levels of cPKC alpha were present only in high grade or highly aggressive lymphomas, showing the highest incidence in the small non-cleaved cell type, according to the International Working Formulation and National Cancer Institute (P < 0.01). cPKC gamma was not detected in normal lymphoid cells and was expressed in only four cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. It is presumed that cPKC alpha and beta have a relationship to cell activation and proliferation of lymphoid cells of reactive and neoplastic states. It might be considered that the expression of cPKC alpha may have a relationship with aggressiveness in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.

Abstract
The present investigation shows that C3 (hemolytic inactive) as well as C3b and C3d bind Raji, a CR2-positive Burkitt lymphoma-derived cell line. Pretreatment of the cells with OKB-7 inhibited the binding of C3, whereas pretreatment with HB-5 inhibited the binding of C3b. Furthermore, the cells coated either with OKB-7 or HB-5 bound high amounts of C3d. TPA-treated cells showed binding for C3b and weak binding for C3 and C3d. Taken together, the data suggest that Raji cells may express three binding sites for C3, C3b and C3d which can be differently modulated by anti-CR2 MoAbs and TPA.

Abstract
There have been an increasing number of reports describing a pivotal role for phosphorylation in cellular responses for cell differentiation and proliferation. We examined an immunocytochemical expression of protein kinase C(PKC) isozymes (type I, II, and III) in 22 leukemia-lymphoma cell lines. Of these cell lines, 21 expressed type II PKC and 17 showed the co-expression of both types II and III PKC in varying degree. The cell line without PKC activity showed far less [3H]-TdR uptake and no heterotransplantation in nude mice. Types II and III PKC appear to relate to cell proliferation in certain leukemia-lymphoma cell lines.

Platelet Activating Factor Inhibits Both the Proliferation and the Differentiation of Activated B Lymphocytes in Response to Interleukin-2. Int J Immunopathol Pharmacol 1992.

Abstract
The role of the platelet activating factor in human B lymphocyte responses to Interleukin-2 was examined and compared with that of Interleukin-4 by assessing the ability of this molecule to modulate proliferation and differentiation. Highly purified B lymphocytes were prestimulated for 48 h with Staphylococcus aureus Cowan Strain I and then were cultured with Interleukin-2 alone or in combination with either Interleukin-4 or the platelet activating factor and the proliferation (after 3 days) and the immunoglobulins (IgG and IgM) production (after 7 days) were evaluated. When SAC-activated B lymphocytes were preincubated overnight with PAF (0.0001 to 1 μM) or with IL-4 (1 to 100 U/ml) both the IL-2-induced proliferation and immunoglobulins secretion were inhibited. This inhibition was not a reflection of a decreased expression of the IL-2 receptor (CD25) because this expression was not modified on SAC-activated B lymphocytes after preincubation with either PAF or IL-4. Moreover, this suppression effect was not the result of a delayed response to IL-2.The PAF-induced suppression was overcome in the presence of PAF antagonists (BN 52021 and BN 50730) but was not modified in the presence of a neutralizing anti-IL-4 antiserum. On the other hand, the IL-4 mediated suppression was totally reversed in the presence of the neutralizing anti-serum and only marginally reversed in the presence of the PAF antagonists. These results indicate that both PAF and IL-4 may exert a number of immunoregulatory actions on human B lymphocyte proliferation and differentiation. They interfere with the stimulation of activated B lymphocytes by IL-2 and could play an important immunoregulatory role in the determination of isotypic regulation in the specific humoral responses.

Abstract
The role of paf-acether (paf), a phospholipid cytokine, in the modulation of human B cell function was investigated. Paf, from 1 x 10(-5) M to 10(-6) M, decreased B cell proliferation induced by both phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and anti-IgM antibodies (anti-IgM Ab). By contrast, 1 x 10(-7) M to 1 x 10(-9) M paf enhanced PMA triggered, but not anti-IgM triggered B cell proliferation. B cell proliferation was modulated between 24 and 72 hr of culture indicating that the effect of paf did not merely reflect a shift in proliferation kinetics. Interestingly, paf also enhanced the spontaneous proliferation of a Burkitt lymphoma-derived B cell line, Raji, which suggests that paf can directly act on B cells. The modulatory effect of paf on peripheral blood B cells was independent of PMA concentration, yet the effect on Raji cells was dependent upon cell density. The data suggest that paf is a potent modulator of B cell function, and may be involved in the control of humoral immune response.

Abstract
The B subunit of cholera toxin (CT) but not the entire CT was found to induce the proliferation of resting human B lymphocytes. A significant mitogenic effect was observed for B subunit concentrations greater than 1 microgram/ml and reached a maximum of stimulation at 10 micrograms/ml. As already described for B lymphocytes preactivated with Staphylococcus aureus Cowan Strain I (SAC). B lymphocytes preactivated with the B subunit of CT, but not with the entire CT, were able to proliferate in response to exogenous interleukin 2 (IL 2) and to the low-molecular weight B cell growth factor (BCGF). To determine the transmembrane signaling system used by the B subunit of CT to mediate its biological effects, we compared the transmembrane signals used by the entire CT, its B subunit and SAC. In comparison to the entire CT, which directly activates adenylate cyclase and increases intracellular cAMP levels, neither the B subunit nor SAC modified the cAMP content. In contrast, although SAC induced inositol phosphate generation neither CT nor the separate subunits were able to induce such a production. Moreover, changes in the fluorescence of indo-1-loaded B lymphocytes revealed that mitogenic doses of either the B subunit or SAC induced a rapid and sustained increase in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). The effect of the B subunit appeared to be largely dependent on the presence of extracellular Ca2+, because in Ca2(+)-free medium no [Ca2+]i uptake was observed. In contrast, the SAC-induced [Ca2+]i uptake is substantially, but not totally, inhibited in Ca2(+)-free medium, suggesting that part of the rise in [Ca2+]i was due to the release from internal stores. Moreover, fluorimetric measurements on loaded cells with 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6')-carboxyfluorescein revealed that SAC induced a rapid cytoplasmic alkalinization via activation of Na+/H+ exchange, whereas the entire CT and its B subunit had no effect on intracellular pH. Taken together, these data suggest that, in comparison to SAC, the mitogenic effect of the B subunit of CT was mediated through different intracellular biochemical pathways.

Abstract
Paf-acether (paf) and lyso phospholipids induced an oxydative burst on EBV-transformed B lymphocyte cell line. Superoxide anion formation measured by lucigenin-dependent chemiluminescence was dependent on both paf concentration and time-course of challenge. Paf C18:0 at 10 microM was more potent than its C16:0 analogue at the same concentration. Choline-containing phospholipids with 2-acyl (long chain) were inactive. The paf antagonists BN 52021 and WEB 2086 structurally unrelated to paf were inactive whereas paf structural analogue CV 3988 inhibited superoxide formation induced by paf and lysophospholipids. Such a phospholipid-induced oxydative burst in B cells might exert an effect in the numerous pathophysiological situations where large amounts of paf are produced by phagocytic cells.

Abstract
Pertussis toxin (PT) was found to elicit an increased thymidine uptake in resting B lymphocytes purified from human peripheral blood. A significant mitogenic effect was detected for toxin concentrations greater than 100 ng/ml (1nM) and a plateau of stimulation was reached at 1000 ng/ml (10 nM). B cell blasts, activated by a first signal such as Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I or insolubilized anti-mu chain antibody, were also stimulated to DNA synthesis by PT in the same range of concentrations. At lower sub-mitogenic concentrations, the toxin potentiated the response to the low-molecular weight B cell growth factor (LMW-BCGF or 12-kDa BCGF), a progression factor for activated B cells. The "A" or catalytic subunit was devoid of any activity on B cells, suggesting the stimulatory effect of the toxin might be associated with the binding or "B" subunit, as it has been shown for T cells. This hypothesis was strengthened by the observation that, as in T cell, the whole toxin but not the "A" promoter, was able to induce calcium influx in these cells. In addition, the purified "B" oligomer alone was found to promote DNA synthesis in B cells. Finally, a fragment of the soluble cleaved form of the CD23 molecule (Fc epsilon RII) could be involved in the process of PT mitogenicity for B cells.

Abstract
Changes in intracytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) are though to be an important trigger for the initiation of the cellular events culminating in B cell activation. After exposure of human B lymphocytes loaded with the fluorescent indicator quin-2 to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-containing supernatant of B95-8 cell line, a rise in [Ca2+]i is observed. To determine the respective contribution of the intra- and extracellular Ca2+ pools in EBV-induced B cell activation, the pharmacologic modulation of these processes was investigated using an intracellular calcium chelator, 1,2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane- N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic (BAPTA) or the calcium channel blocking drugs. When the extracellular Ca2+ contribution was minimized in the presence of calcium channel-blocking drugs or incubation of the cells in Ca2+-free medium, the EBV-induced human B cell activation was fully inhibited. When the calcium channel-blocking drugs, either verapamil or diltiazem, were withdrawn or when exogenous Ca2+ was added to the Ca2+-free medium, EBV-induced B cell activation was noted, demonstrating the reversibility of the inhibition. On the contrary, when the intracellular Ca2+ contribution was reduced after loading the cell with BAPTA, no alteration of the EBV-induced B cell activation was observed. Thus, the EBV-induced rise of [Ca2+]i required in the activation of human B cells appears to be essentially related to the entry of extracellular Ca2+ and not to the release of Ca2+ from internal stores.

Abstract
This study describes the opposing effects that interleukin (IL) 4 exerts on the B cell stimulatory factor (BSF-MP6) and IL 2-dependent proliferation and differentiation of cells of one selected B-type chronic lymphocytic leukemia cell clone (I83), which depend on the nature of the activation inducer. In I83 cells activated by a 1-h pulse of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate, the BSF-MP6-dependent DNA synthesis was strongly enhanced by 50-100 U/ml of recombinant IL 4. Recombinant IL 2 stimulation was necessary only when a suboptimal dose of BSF-MP6 was used. The differentiation was also markedly enhanced by IL 4 as measured by quantitation of IgM secretion both at the population (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analyses of the supernatant) and single-cell level (enzyme-linked immunospot technique), by morphological examination of the maturation stage and flow cytometric analysis of differentiation-associated surface antigens (CD11c, FMC7, PCA-1 and CD38). No Ig isotype switch was found. In contrast, DNA synthesis and differentiation of I83 cells, activated by Staphylococcus aureus Cowan strain I (SAC) and co-stimulated with BSF-MP6 plus IL 2, were strongly inhibited by IL 4, both when it was added simultaneously with SAC or after 2 days of SAC exposure. Analysis of the cell-cycle progression of SAC and BSF-MP6 plus IL 2 and IL 4-stimulated cells by acridine orange staining and fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis demonstrated an arrest of a minor cell population in G0 and a block of the transition of G1 cells to S phase. Neither the enhancing nor the inhibitory effect of IL 4 on the proliferation and differentiation of I83 cells was an indirect effect via IL 4-induced activation of contaminating T cells, monocytes or natural killer cells, as shown by experiments where these cell types were depleted by FACS sorting. Furthermore the expression of CD23 and CD25 was not inhibited by IL 4. The results thus demonstrate contrasting biological effects of IL 4 on clonal leukemic B cells depending on the nature of the activation and progression stimuli. This adds to the emerging picture of a very complex cytokine and cell-to-cell contact-mediated regulation of the activation and subsequent growth and/or differentiation of human B cells.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) to human leucocyte sialoglycoprotein, CD43, have been shown to deliver mitogenic signals to human T cells or to enhance T-cell proliferation induced by concanavalin A, anti-CD3 antibodies or phorbol ester. In this paper, we studied the effects of anti-CD43 MoAb B1B6 on the activation of human B cells. Anti-CD43 MoAb B1B6 was not mitogenic by itself for human B cells. However, when added together with TPA, both resting and in vivo activated tonsillar B cells, containing 5-10% and about 35% CD43+ respectively, responded with three- to fivefold higher proliferation compared to that obtained with TPA alone. A peak in the proliferative response was reached on day 3. Optimal proliferation was obtained when the antibody was present from the start of culturing. Addition of MoAb B1B6 together with a calcium ionophore, ionomycin, did not induce B-cell proliferation. Neither did mAb B1B6 sustain the growth of B cells that were already in the cell cycle, i.e. precultured with phorbol ester (PDB) and ionomycin for 3 days. The results are similar to those obtained with antibodies to CD22 and CD23 and show that early progression signals are delivered to resting B cells through CD43 in the presence of primary activators of protein kinase C.

Abstract
The monoclonal antibody (MoAb) B1B6 to human leucocyte sialoglycoprotein, CD43, induces aggregation of T cells and delivers progression signals early during activation of both T and B cells in the presence of primary activators of protein kinase C. In this report we further studied the role of CD43 in human B-cell activation and differentiation. About 5-10% of resting tonsillar B cells are CD43+. In the presence of TPA or antibodies to CDw40, the proportions of CD43+ cells drastically increased. The expression was optimal on day 3 of culture, when up to 80% and 50%, respectively, were CD43+. Whereas MoAb B1B6 together with TPA induced a three- to fivefold higher proliferative response as compared to TPA alone, antibodies to CDw40 did not synergize with MoAb B1B6 in B-cell proliferation. Tonsillar populations depleted of CD43+ B cells responded with lower proliferation to TPA alone or to TPA and B1B6 or anti-CDw40 antibodies. MoAb B1B6 did not affect the production of IgM or IgG as induced by pokeweed mitogen in the presence of autologous T cells, from either peripheral blood or tonsillar B cells. Neither did it affect the IgG production from the CD43+ BSF-2 sensitive Epstein-Barr virus-transformed lymphoblastoid cell line CESS. The results show that CD43 is upregulated on B cells during activation. Furthermore, CD43+ B cells are included in the population which responds to signals delivered by TPA, anti-CD43 or anti-CDw40 antibodies, and the proliferation of this population is not merely due to an expansion of the small population of CD43+ cells present among these cells. Moreover, the epitopes recognized by MoAb B1B6 are not involved in the differentiation of and ultimate Ig-secretion from activated B cells.

Abstract
The Fc region of IgG is known to be the source of small peptides possessing immunomodulatory function. Results are summarized showing the effect of synthetic peptides composed of surface exposed residues of C gamma 2 or C gamma 3 domains on different steps of human B lymphocyte activation cycle. Both the CH2 (289Thr-301Arg) and CH3 (407Tyr-416Arg) peptides as well as the whole Fc fragment enhanced the IgM synthesis of PWM or PMA + CaI activated lymphocytes. This effect was exerted at the early phase of B cell activation. The incubation of separated resting B cells with Fc fragments or CH2 peptides resulted in increase of cell volume and in expression of HLA-DR antigen. On the other hand, LIF production was induced both by CH2 and CH3 peptides. It was also shown that Fc peptides induce IL-1 release from monocytes. The results suggest that the CH2 and CH3 domain peptides exert their effect partly directly, by activating resting B cells, rendering the cells more susceptible to other stimuli; and moreover, by enhancing the humoral response by triggering the release of IL-1.

Abstract
The possible role of phosphatidylinositol breakdown in the induction of proliferation of human activated B cells by low molecular weight B cell growth factor (LMW-BCGF) was examined. LMW-BCGF was found to induce a rapid rise in the concentration of inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) in [3H]inositol-loaded B cell blasts, obtained by prior anti-mu antibody activation. A concomitant decrease in the concentration of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate could be detected at the same time. Maximum generation of InsP3 occurred within 15-30 s after the addition of the LMW-BCGF ligand to the activated B cells, then was followed by a slow decrease and return to control values. The amount of InsP3 generated by phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis was dependent on the concentration of LMW-BCGF. This effect was only detected in B cells already preactivated by a first signal such as anti-mu antibody and not in resting unstimulated B cells. In contrast, under similar conditions, interleukin 2, another B cell growth-promoting lymphokine, did not alter the rate of formation of the various phosphatidylinositol breakdown products. An augmentation of the [Ca2+]i concentration was also detected in activated B cells upon addition of LMW-BCGF and this increase could be blocked by TMB-8, a specific inhibitor of endoplasmic reticulum calcium release. Hydrolysis of phosphoinositides thus represents an essential component in the mechanism of transduction of the signal provided by LMW-BCGF.

Abstract
The inositol phospholipid metabolism and the increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) into the cell are recognized as two important events in the anti-mu-induced B cell activation. The anti-mu stimulation caused the [3H]inositol incorporation and also a rapid increase in [Ca2+]i from 85 nM to 285 nM. This signal returned to baseline a few minutes after stimulation. By using the fluorescent indicator quin-2 we demonstrated that this [Ca2+]i uptake was derived part from extracellular medium and part from intracellular stores. Both EGTA (a calcium chelator) and TMB.8 (a drug which interferes with Ca2+ sequestration by smooth endoplasmic reticulum) partially suppressed the intracellular Ca2+ uptake and were fully inhibitory when added together. The role of Ca2+ from intracellular stores may also be evidenced in calcium-free experiments, or in permeabilized experiments using exogenous inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3, the putative mobilizer of intracellular Ca2+). Preventing the increase in [Ca2+]i also prevents the apparition of early activation makers. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the Ca2+ increase in B cells stimulated by anti-mu is caused by the generation of IP3 during the phosphatidyl-inositol metabolism and also by the entry of extracellular Ca2+ through the plasma membrane.
