Abstract
Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease accompanied by multiple lesions. The main manifestations include dryness of the mouth and eyes, along with systemic complications (e.g., pulmonary disease, kidney injury, and lymphoma). In this review, we highlight that IFNs, Th17 cell-related cytokines (IL-17 and IL-23), and B cell-related cytokines (TNF and BAFF) are crucial for the pathogenesis of SS. We also summarize the advances in experimental treatment strategies, including targeting Treg/Th17, mesenchymal stem cell treatment, targeting BAFF, inhibiting JAK pathway, et al. Similar to that of SLE, RA, and MS, biotherapeutic strategies of SS consist of neutralizing antibodies and inflammation-related receptor blockers targeting proinflammatory signaling pathways. However, clinical research on SS therapy is comparatively rare. Moreover, the differences in the curative effects of immunotherapies among SS and other autoimmune diseases are not fully understood. We emphasize that targeted drugs, low-side-effect drugs, and combination therapies should be the focus of future research.

Abstract
Primary Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) is a complex autoimmune epithelitis, with few treatment options, but the use of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors is promising because suppression of the JAK/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway improves sicca manifestations. Playing a primary and pathogenic role in disease development, the oxidative stress response is upregulated in activated salivary gland epithelial cells (SGECs) from patients with SjS. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether JAK inhibitors would suppress SGEC activation in response to an oxidative stress. For this purpose, the human salivary gland (HSG) cell line was used, and cells were treated with the reactive oxygen species (ROS) inducer hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or with interferons (IFN Type I and Type II), used as positive controls, to mimic activated SGECs as observed in SjS patients. Afterward, the levels of the intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and the regulatory programmed-death ligand-1 (PD-L1) were measured by real-time PCR and flow cytometry, and the STAT1/3 phosphorylation status was assessed by Western blotting. Using the HSG cell line, our results showed that both ICAM-1 and PD-L1 are induced by ROS through pSTAT3, and that this activation pathway is reversed by the use of JAK inhibitors, AG490 and ruxolitinib, as well as by N-acetylcysteine, which is a direct inhibitor of ROS. These findings open new perspectives regarding the pathogenesis and therapeutic possibilities for SjS.

Abstract
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is upregulated in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) cells. However, the role of HO-1 in the metastatic potential of CRC remains to be elucidated. In this study, we investigated the potential of HO-1 to control the antitumor immunity of CRC. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) plays an important role in the immune surveillance system. Hemin-induced HO-1 expression suppressed the expression of ICAM-1 in human CRC cells. HO-1 regulated ICAM-1 expression via tristetraprolin, an mRNA-binding protein, at the posttranscriptional level in CRC cells. The upregulated HO-1 expression in CRC cells markedly decreased the adhesion of peripheral blood mononuclear lymphocytes (PBMLs) to CRC cells and PBML-mediated cytotoxicity against CRC cells. Production of CXCL10, an effector T cell-recruiting chemokine, was significantly reduced by the increased HO-1 expression. The expression of the CXCL10 receptor, CXCR3, decreased significantly in PBMLs that adhered to CRC cells. HO-1 expression correlated negatively, although nonsignificantly, with ICAM-1 and CXCL10 expression in xenograft tumors. Taken together, our data suggest that HO-1 expression is functionally linked to the mediation of tumor progression and metastasis of CRC cells by inhibiting antitumor immunity.

Abstract
Hispolon has been shown to have anticancer effects on various tumors. However, whether hispolon exerts anti-migration activity in breast cancer cells and the underlying mechanisms, have not been elucidated yet. In the present study, our data demonstrated that hispolon inhibited TPA-induced breast cancer MCF-7 cell migration at sub-toxic concentrations in vitro. Hispolon decreased the level of cellular ROS significantly and repressed TPA-induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), accompanied by upregulation of E-cadherin and downregulation of the transcriptional repressor Slug. Furthermore, N-acetyl-cysteine, an antioxidant agent, markedly suppressed TPA-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, cell migration and activation of ERK. Taken together, our results indicated that hispolon suppressed the migration of breast cancer cells via suppressing the ROS/ERK/Slug/E‑cadherin pathway. Hispolon may be developed as a potential antimetastasis agent to breast cancer.

Characteristics of myeloid differentiation and maturation pathway derived from human hematopoietic stem cells exposed to different linear energy transfer radiation types. PLoS One 2013; 8:e59385.

Abstract
Exposure of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) to ionizing radiation causes a marked suppression of mature functional blood cell production in a linear energy transfer (LET)- and/or dose-dependent manner. However, little information about LET effects on the proliferation and differentiation of HSPCs has been reported. With the aim of characterizing the effects of different types of LET radiations on human myeloid hematopoiesis, in vitro hematopoiesis in Human CD34+ cells exposed to carbon-ion beams or X-rays was compared. Highly purified CD34+ cells exposed to each form of radiation were plated onto semi-solid culture for a myeloid progenitor assay. The surviving fractions of total myeloid progenitors, colony-forming cells (CFC), exposed to carbon-ion beams were significantly lower than of those exposed to X-rays, indicating that CFCs are more sensitive to carbon-ion beams (D0 = 0.65) than to X-rays (D0 = 1.07). Similar sensitivities were observed in granulocyte-macrophage and erythroid progenitors, respectively. However, the sensitivities of mixed-type progenitors to both radiation types were similar. In liquid culture for 14 days, no significant difference in total numbers of mononuclear cells was observed between non-irradiated control culture and cells exposed to 0.5 Gy X-rays, whereas 0.5 Gy carbon-ion beams suppressed cell proliferation to 4.9% of the control, a level similar to that for cells exposed to 1.5 Gy X-rays. Cell surface antigens associated with terminal maturation, such as CD13, CD14, and CD15, on harvest from the culture of X-ray-exposed cells were almost the same as those from the non-irradiated control culture. X-rays increased the CD235a+ erythroid-related fraction, whereas carbon-ion beams increased the CD34+CD38− primitive cell fraction and the CD13+CD14+/−CD15− fraction. These results suggest that carbon-ion beams inflict severe damage on the clonal growth of myeloid HSPCs, although the intensity of cell surface antigen expression by mature myeloid cells derived from HSPCs exposed to each type of radiation was similar to that by controls.

Abstract
12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) induces the differentiation of human myeloid ML-1 cells to macrophages. In the current study, the expression, responsiveness, and regulation of toll-like receptors (TLRs) in TPA-induced ML-1-derived macrophages were investigated. We have found that TPA-induced differentiation of ML-1 cells was accompanied by the upregulation of TLR1, TLR2, TLR4, and CD14 expression at both the mRNA and protein levels. Interestingly, TLR1 and TLR4 protein expression on ML-1 cells could be blocked by pretreatment with U0126, suggesting the role of an Erk1/2-induced differentiation signal in this process. In addition, the expression of IRAK-2, a key member of the TLR/IRAK-2/NF-κB-dependent signaling cascade was also induced in response to TPA. Accordingly, we demonstrated an increased cellular release of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and various interleukins) upon stimulation with LPS and LTA ligands for TLR4 and TLR2, respectively. Furthermore, using luminol-dependent chemiluminescence, addition of LPS and LTA induces a sustained DPI-inhibitable generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by the differentiated ML-1 cells. Together, these data suggest that the increase in the responsiveness of TPA-treated ML-1 cells to LPS and LTA occurs in response to the upregulation of their respective receptors as well as an induction of the IRAK-2 gene expression.

Abstract
We showed previously that ingested human insulin activates the insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway in Anopheles stephensi and increases the susceptibility of these mosquitoes to Plasmodium falciparum. In other organisms, insulin can alter immune responsiveness through regulation of NF-κB transcription factors, critical elements for innate immunity that are also central to mosquito immunity. We show here that insulin signaling decreased expression of NF-κB-regulated immune genes in mosquito cells stimulated with either bacterial or malarial soluble products. Further, human insulin suppressed mosquito immunity through sustained phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activation, since inhibition of this pathway led to decreased parasite development in the mosquito. Together, these data demonstrate that activation of the insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway by ingested human insulin can alter NF-κB-dependent immunity, and ultimately the susceptibility, of mosquitoes to P. falciparum.

Abstract
Transient reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is currently proving to be an important mechanism in the regulation of intracellular signalling, but reports showing the involvement of ROS in important biological processes, such as cell differentiation, are scarce. In this study, we show for the first time that ROS production is required for megakaryocytic differentiation in K562 and HEL cell lines and also in human CD34(+) cells. ROS production is transiently activated during megakaryocytic differentiation, and such production is abolished by the addition of different antioxidants (such as N-acetyl cysteine, trolox, quercetin) or the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase inhibitor diphenylene iodonium. The inhibition of ROS formation hinders differentiation. RNA interference experiments have shown that a p22(phox)-dependent NADPH oxidase activity is responsible for ROS production. In addition, the activation of ERK, AKT and JAK2 is required for differentiation, but the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinase seems to be less important. When ROS production is prevented, the activation of these signalling pathways is partly inhibited. Taken together, these results show that NADPH oxidase ROS production is essential for complete activation of the main signalling pathways involved in megakaryocytopoiesis to occur. We suggest that this might also be important for in vivo megakaryocytopoiesis.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2010; 128:198-205.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Armillariella mellea is an edible mushroom that has been traditionally used as an alternative medicine in many countries because of its anti-microbial and anti-cancer effects. AIM OF THE STUDY In this study, we examined the ability of Armillariella mellea to induce the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, an important cellular adhesion molecule for the recruitment of immune cells to regional inflammatory sites. MATERIALS AND METHODS A human monocytic cell line, THP-1 or human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were stimulated with Armillariella mellea extract (AME) and subjected to flow cytometry to examine the expression of ICAM-1 protein on the cell surface. Steady-state mRNA level of ICAM-1 was determined by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The phosphorylation of JNK protein was examined by Western blot analysis using antibodies specific for non-phosphorylated and phosphorylated forms of JNK. For the analysis of transcription factors regulating ICAM-1 transcription, the nuclear fraction was extracted from AME-treated THP-1 cells and subjected to electrophoretic mobility shift assay. RESULTS AME induced expression of ICAM-1 and its mRNA in THP-1 cells in dose- and time-dependent manners. AME-induced ICAM-1 expression was also observed on CD14-positive monocytes in human PBMC. Interestingly, AME-induced ICAM-1 production was inhibited by the specific inhibitors of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and JNK, whereas no inhibitory effect was observed when inhibitors of ERK, p38 kinase, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, or protein kinase C were used. Concomitantly, AME increased phosphorylation of JNK in a time-dependent fashion. DNA binding activities of NF-kappaB, AP-1, SP-1, and STAT-1 were increased by AME treatment. CONCLUSION These results suggest that AME induces ICAM-1 expression in human monocytic cells through ROS/JNK-dependent signaling pathways leading to the activation of NF-kappaB, AP-1, SP-1, and STAT-1 transcription factors.

Abstract
Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk)1/2 activity signals myeloid cell differentiation induced by 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Previously, we reported that Erk1/2 activation (phosphorylation) induced by TPA required reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a second messenger. Here, we hypothesized that ROS generated in response to TPA inhibit Erk1/2-directed phosphatase activity, which leads to an increase phosphorylation of Erk1/2 to signal p21(WAF1/Cip1)-mediated growth arrest in ML-1 cells. Incubation of ML-1 cells with TPA resulted in a marked accumulation of phosphorylated Erk1/2, and is subsequent to H2O2 generation. Interestingly, post-TPA-treatment with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) stimulated a marked and a rapid dephosphorylation of Erk1/2, suggesting a regeneration of Erk1/2-directed phospahatase activity by NAC. ROS generation in ML-1 cells induced by TPA was suggested to occur in the mitochondrial electron transport chain (METC) based on the following observations: (i) undifferentiated ML-1 cells not only lack p67-phox and but also express a low level of p47-phox key components required for NADPH oxidase enzymatic activity, (ii) pretreatment with DPI, an inhibitor of NADH- and NADPH-dependent enzymes, or rhein, an inhibitor of complex I, blocked the ROS generation, and (iii) examination of the microarray analysis data and Western blot analysis data revealed an induction of MnSOD expression at both mRNA and protein levels in response to TPA. MnSOD is a key member of the mitochondrial defense system against mitochondrial-derived superoxide. Together, this study suggested that TPA stimulated ROS generation as a second messenger to activate Erk1/2 via a redox-mediated inhibition of Erk1/2-directed phosphatase in ML-1 cells.

Abstract
The early nephropathy in obese, diabetic, dyslipidemic (ZS) rats is characterized by tubular lipid accumulation and pervasive inflammation, two critically interrelated events. We now tested the hypothesis that proximal tubules from ZS obese diabetic rats in vivo, and proximal tubule cells (NRK52E) exposed to oxidized LDL (oxLDL) in vitro, change their normally quiescent epithelial phenotype into a proinflammatory phenotype. Urine of obese diabetic rats contained more lipid peroxides, and LOX-1, a membrane receptor that internalizes oxidized lipids, was mobilized to luminal sites. Levels of ICAM-1 and focal adhesion kinase, which participate in leukocyte migration and epithelial dedifferentiation, respectively, were also upregulated in tubules. NRK52E cells exposed to oxLDL showed similar modifications, plus suppression of anti-inflammatory transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-delta. In addition, oxLDL impaired epithelial barrier function. These alterations were prevented by an anti-LOX-1 antibody. The data support the concept that tubular LOX-1 activation driven by lipid oxidants in the preurine fluid is critical in the inflammatory changes. We suggest that luminal lipid oxidants and abnormal tubular permeability may be partly responsible for the renal tubulointerstitial injury of obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression on the thyroid follicular cells of non-obese diabetic (NOD).H2(h4) mice is enhanced by iodide treatment, which correlates with autoimmune thyroid disease in genetically susceptible NOD.H2(h4) mice. The current study examines the mechanism of iodine-enhanced up-regulation of ICAM-1 on the surface of thyroid cells. We hypothesized that the up-regulation of ICAM-1 is due to a transient increase in production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS may initiate signalling of the ICAM-1 gene promoter, enhancing up-regulated ICAM-1 protein on the cell surface. Single-cell suspensions of thyroid follicular cells from thyroiditis-susceptible NOD.H2(h4) or non-susceptible BALB/c mice were treated in vitro with sodium iodide. Extracellular and intracellular ROS were assessed by luminol-derived chemiluminescence and flow cytometry assays respectively. Our results demonstrate that thyroid follicular cells of NOD.H2(h4) generate higher levels of ROS compared with cells from non-susceptible strains of mice. Expression of a subunit protein of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, p67(phox), was analysed by Western blot immunoassay. A constitutive expression of the p67(phox) subunit protein was observed in NOD.H2(h4) mice prior to iodine treatment. No such expression was found in BALB/c mice. Treatment of NOD.H2(h4) thyroid cells with diphenyleneiodium, an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase, reduced generation of ROS and of ICAM-1 protein expression. Thus, thyrocytes from NOD.H2(h4) mice produce enhanced levels of ROS that may be mediated by NADPH oxidase. Consequently, in NOD.H2(h4) mice the ROS-induced signal for ICAM-1 up-regulation may contribute to mononuclear cellular infiltration of the thyroid gland and the progression of autoimmune thyroid disease.
