Abstract
Exposure to organic dust increases chronic airway inflammatory disorders. Effective treatment strategies are lacking. It has been reported that hog barn dust extracts (HDE) induce TNFα through protein kinase C (PKC) activation and that lung inflammation is enhanced in scavenger receptor A (SRA/CD204) knockout (KO) mice following HDE. Because interleukin (IL)-10 production can limit excessive inflammation, it was hypothesized here that HDE-induced IL-10 would require CD204 to effect inflammatory responses. C57BL/6 wild-type (WT), SRA KO, and IL-10 KO mice were intranasally challenged daily for 8 days with HDE and subsequently rested for 3 days with/without recombinant IL-10 (rIL-10) treatment. Primary peritoneal macrophages (PM) and murine alveolar macrophages (MH-S cells) were treated in vitro with HDE, SRA ligand (fucoidan), rIL-10, and/or PKC isoform inhibitors. HDE induced in vivo lung IL-10 in WT, but not SRA KO mice, and similar trends were demonstrated in isolated PM from same treated mice. Lung lymphocyte aggregates and neutrophils were elevated in in vivo HDE-treated SRA and IL-10 KO mice after a 3-d recovery, and treatment during recovery with rIL-10 abrogated these responses. In vitro rIL-10 treatment reduced HDE-stimulated TNFα release in MH-S and WT PM. In SRA KO macrophages, there was reduced IL-10 and PKC zeta (ζ) activity and increased TNFα following in vitro HDE stimulation. Similarly, blocking SRA (24 hr fucoidan pre-treatment) resulted in enhanced HDE-stimulated macrophage TNFα and decreased IL-10 and PKCζ activation. PKCζ inhibitors blocked HDE-stimulated IL-10, but not TNFα. Collectively, HDE stimulates IL-10 by an SRA- and PKCζ-dependent mechanism to regulate TNFα. Enhancing resolution of dust-mediated lung inflammation through targeting IL-10 and/or SRA may represent new approaches to therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Salivary glands (SGs) are considered exocrine glands, which mainly secrete water into the oral cavity. Nevertheless, they also exhibit a smaller endocrine secretory pathway toward the bloodstream. The concept of an artificial SG device for exocrine fluid secretion into the oral region in xerostomic patients has been previously studied. The purpose of the current study was to examine the potential of such a device for enhancing bioactive protein secretion. We engineered a plasmid encoding a SG-specific signal peptide sequence adjacent to a normally nonsecreted encoded reporter gene creating a chimera protein, and examined if this construct can enhance secretion from salivary epithelial cells. An N-terminal encoding epidermal growth factor (EGF) sequence was synthesized and inserted into a pGL3 control vector 5' of a firefly luciferase gene, creating a pGL3-EGF signal peptide (pGL3-EGFSP) fused vector. This vector was cotransfected with a pRL-CMV vector containing a Renilla luciferase gene, in 293 cells (serving as controls), and human submandibular gland ductal epithelial (HSG), rat submandibular gland acinar epithelial (SMIE), and rat submandibular gland ductal epithelial (A5) salivary cell lines. The transfected 293, SMIE, and HSG cells showed 8-, 18-, and 40-fold higher luciferase activity, respectively. These observations lead to the concept of an envisioned secretory device, which can serve as a potential biological pump for bioactive proteins.

Abstract
Multiple studies have reported high levels of IL-10 in SLE patients and in murine models of lupus. IL-10 is a regulatory cytokine mainly produced by B cells, which use this cytokine to support their proliferation, and by myeloid cells, which use IL-10 to reduce proinflammatory responses. IL-10 is also produced by a subset of CD4+ T regulatory cells. Various manipulations of IL-10 levels with repeated administrations of anti-IL-10 neutralizing antibodies, genetic ablation or injections of recombinant cytokine have shown contradictory results, which is likely to reflect the opposite effects of this cytokine on the two major effector arms of lupus pathologenesis, namely B cells and inflammation. We have investigated the role of IL-10 in a novel congenic model of lupus, B6.Sle1.Sle2.Sle3 (B6.TC), which consists of the three NZM2410-derived SLE susceptibility loci combined on a C57BL/6 background. We first investigated in this model the source of elevated IL-10 and shown that it results from a larger number of CD4+ T cells producing the cytokine, and from a greatly increased B1-a cell pool, which is the main IL-10 producing compartment. We have then used AAV-mediated skeletal muscle gene delivery to overexpress IL-10 in young B6.TC mice and follow disease marker expression up to 7 months of age. We show here that continuous overexpression of low levels of IL-10 significantly delayed antinuclear auto-antibody production and decreased clinical nephritis. B cell phenotypes were largely unaffected, while T-cell activation was significantly reduced. This highlighted the pivotal role played by T-cell activation in this model, and suggested that this pathway could be effectively targeted for therapeutic interventions. These results also reinforce the notion that IL-10 exerts multiple functions and commend caution in equating high levels of IL-10 and increased pathogenesis in systemic autoimmunity.

Abstract
The treatment of oral and periodontal diseases and associated anomalies accounts for a significant proportion of the healthcare burden, with the manifestations of these conditions being functionally and psychologically debilitating. Growth factors are critical to the development, maturation, maintenance and repair of craniofacial tissues, as they establish an extracellular environment that is conducive to cell and tissue growth. Tissue-engineering principles aim to exploit these properties in the development of biomimetic materials that can provide an appropriate microenvironment for tissue development. These materials have been constructed into devices that can be used as vehicles for delivery of cells, growth factors and DNA. In this review, different mechanisms of drug delivery are addressed in the context of novel approaches to reconstruct and engineer oral- and tooth-supporting structures, namely the periodontium and alveolar bone.

Abstract
AIM: To construct an adeno-associated viral vector serotype 2/1 (AAV2/1) containing human interleukin-10 (hIL-10) gene and to observe its expression in donor liver.
METHODS: hIL-10cDNA amplified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells was cloned into vector pMD18-T. After confirming the sequence, hIL-10cDNA was isolated and inserted into eukaryotic expression vector pSNAV. The recombinant plasmid pSNAV-hIL-10 was transfected into BHK21 cells. BHK21 cells which contained ITR-hIL-10-ITR were obtained by G418 screening. Then the cells were transfected with rHSV/r2c1 containing rep2-cap1 gene. The cells were cultured and purified to obtain rAAV2/1-hIL-10. The expression of hIL-10 gene was detected after this vector was transfer into donor liver in vivo.
RESULTS: The sequence of cloned hIL-10cDNA was identical with that published on GenBank. A new adeno-associated virus vector containing hIL-10cDNA was constructed. And the transcription and expression of hIL-10 were detected in donor liver for 24 weeks. hIL-10 was significantly expressed in test group than that in empty and rAAV2/1-GFP controls 24 wk after transferred (219.15±45.83 ng/L vs 40.02, 38.64 ng/L, P<0.05).
CONCLUSION: The adeno-associated viral vector serotype 2/1 of hIL-10 is successfully established, which provides the basis for applying IL-10 in clinical organ transplantation.

Abstract
Major injury initiates a systemic inflammatory response that can be detrimental to the host. We have recently reported that burn injury primes innate immune cells for a progressive increase in TLR4 and TLR2 agonist-induced proinflammatory cytokine production and that this inflammatory phenotype is exaggerated in adaptive immune system-deficient (Rag1(-/-)) mice. The present study uses a series of adoptive transfer experiments to determine which adaptive immune cell type(s) has the capacity to control innate inflammatory responses after injury. We first compared the relative changes in TLR4- and TLR2-induced TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 production by spleen cell populations prepared from wild-type (WT), Rag1(-/-), CD4(-/-), or CD8(-/-) mice 7 days after sham or burn injury. Our findings indicated that splenocytes prepared from burn-injured CD8(-/-) mice displayed TLR-induced cytokine production levels similar to those in WT mice. In contrast, spleen cells from burn-injured CD4(-/-) mice produced cytokines at significantly higher levels, equivalent to those in Rag1(-/-) mice. Moreover, reconstitution of Rag1(-/-) or CD4(-/-) mice with WT CD4(+) T cells reduced postinjury cytokine production to WT levels. Additional separation of CD4(+) T cells into CD4(+)CD25(+) and CD4(+)CD25(-) subpopulations before their adoptive transfer into Rag1(-/-) mice showed that CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells were capable of reducing TLR-stimulated cytokine production levels to WT levels, whereas CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells had no regulatory effect. These findings suggest a previously unsuspected role for CD4(+)CD25(+) T regulatory cells in controlling host inflammatory responses after injury.

Abstract
Female nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice develop spontaneous autoimmune sialadenitis and loss of salivary flow, and are a widely used model of Sjögren's syndrome. We examined the feasibility of local salivary gland immunomodulatory gene delivery to alter these sequelae in NOD mice. We constructed recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors encoding either human interleukin 10 (rAAVhIL-10) or beta-galactosidase (rAAVLacZ, control vector). Mice received rAAVhIL-10 or rAAVLacZ by retrograde submandibular ductal instillation either at age 8 weeks (early, before onset of sialadenitis), or at 16 weeks (late, after onset of sialadenitis). As a systemic treatment control, separate mice received intramuscular delivery of rAAVhIL-10 at each time point. Both submandibular and intramuscular delivery of vector led to low circulating levels of hIL-10. After submandibular administration of rAAVhIL-10, salivary flow rates at 20 weeks for both the early and late treatment groups were significantly higher than for both rAAVLacZ-administered and untreated mice. Systemic delivery of rAAVhIL-10 led to improved salivary flow in the late treatment group. Inflammatory infiltrates in submandibular glands, however, were significantly reduced only in mice receiving rAAVhIL-10 locally in the salivary gland compared with mice receiving this vector intramuscularly, or rAAVLacZ or no treatment. In addition, after submandibular rAAVhIL-10 delivery, NOD mice exhibited significantly lower blood glucose, and higher serum insulin, levels than all other groups, indicating some systemic benefit of this treatment. These studies show that expression of hIL-10 by rAAV vectors can have disease-modifying effects in the salivary glands of NOD mice, and suggest that local immunomodulatory gene transfer may be useful for managing the salivary gland pathology in Sjögren's syndrome.

Abstract
Effective treatment for Sjögren's syndrome (SS) might be developed locally by introducing genes encoding cytokines, which are potentially anti-inflammatory, or by introducing a cDNA encoding a soluble form of a key cytokine receptor, which can act as an antagonist and decrease the availability of certain cytokines, such as soluble tumour necrosis factor alpha receptors. Currently, the preferred choice of viral vector for immunomodulatory gene transfer is recombinant adeno-associated virus. The use of gene transfer to help determine the pathophysiology and to alter the course of the SS-like disease in the NOD mouse model can ultimately lead to the development of new treatments for managing the salivary component in patients with SS.

Abstract
Clinical applications of gene transfer technology initially targeted the treatment of inherited monogenetic disorders and cancers refractory to conventional therapies. Today, gene transfer approaches are being developed for most tissues and for multiple disorders including those affecting quality of life. The focus herein is eventual application of gene transfer technology for the management of organ-directed autoimmunity. A specific example is presented: Sjögren's syndrome and localized salivary gland gene transfer. The status of relevant pre-clinical gene transfer studies is reviewed, with an emphasis on use of adenoviral and adeno-associated viral vectors. Current limitations of effective organ-directed gene transfer are also discussed.

Abstract
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response to a blood-borne infection that is associated with an extremely high rate of morbidity and mortality. The present study investigates the role of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in host responses to bacterial endotoxemia. After administration of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide, 50% of wild-type mice die within 96 h. COX-2 deficient mice displayed a dramatic improvement in survival with reduced leukocyte infiltration into critical organs (kidneys and lungs) and a blunted and delayed induction of the cytokine inducible genes nitric oxide synthase 2 and heme oxygenase-1. Translocation and activation of transcription factors important for signaling events during an inflammatory response, such as nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB, were also markedly reduced. While the absence of COX-2 did not alter the induction of several pro-inflammatory cytokines in tissue macrophages, induction of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 was exaggerated. Administration of IL-10 to wild-type mice reduced NF-kappaB activation. Taken together, our data suggest that COX-2 deficient mice are resistant to many of the detrimental consequences of endotoxemia. These beneficial effects occur, in part, by a compensatory increase in IL-10 that counterbalances the pro-inflammatory host response to endotoxemia.

Abstract
Several obstacles exist for the development and use of live attenuated vaccines, including difficulty in achieving a proper balance between attenuation of viral replication and immunogenicity; inducing a strong T-helper 1 response in early life when the immune system is T helper 2 biased and immunization is sometimes associated with immunopathology and the immunosuppressive effect of maternal antibodies in infants. For some viral infections, the immune response to natural infection does not confer solid protection, complicating the task of vaccine development. The development of methods for generation of recombinant viruses provided new opportunities for improving the immunogenicity of live virus vaccine candidates, including the construction of viruses that express cytokines or other immunomodulating molecules. Depending on the choice of immunomodulating molecule, various stages of the immune response can be affected, such as antigen presentation or T-cell proliferation and differentiation. In addition to using the approach for development of viral live attenuated vaccines, it is currently being explored for the development of antitumor vaccines. For this type of vaccine, expression of tumor antigens and one or more immunomodulating molecules by one or several recombinant viruses has been proposed.

Abstract
We have constructed a recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 2 vector encoding human interleukin 10 (rAAVhIL10). IL-10 is a potent antiinflammatory/immune cytokine, which has received growing attention for its therapeutic potential. Human IL-10 (hIL-10) production was virus dose dependent after in vitro infection of HSG cells, a human submandibular gland cell line. The vector-derived hIL-10 produced was biologically active, as the medium from rAAVhIL10-infected HSG cells caused a dose-dependent blockade of IL-12 secretion from spleen cells of IL-10 knockout mice challenged with heat-killed Brucella abortus. Administration of rAAVhIL10 (10(10) genomes per gland) to both mouse submandibular glands led to hIL-10 secretion into the bloodstream (approximately 1-5 pg/ml), that is, in an endocrine manner, which was stable for approximately 2 months. Salivary gland administration of rAAVhIL10 under experimental conditions was more efficacious than intravenous administration (approximately 0.5-0.7 pg/ml). Also, hIL-10 was readily secreted in vitro from organ cultures of minced submandibular glands infected with rAAVhIL10, 6 or 8 weeks earlier. Consistent with these results, hIL-10 mRNA was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in submandibular glands of mice infected with rAAVhIL10 but not from control mice. At these doses, little to no hIL-10 was detected in mouse saliva. Using a rAAV serotype 2 vector encoding beta-galactosidase, we observed that the primary parenchymal target cells were ductal. These findings represent the first report of rAAV use to target exocrine glands for systemic secretion of a therapeutic protein, and support the notion that rAAV serotype 2 vectors may be useful in salivary glands for local (periglandular) and systemic gene-based protein therapeutics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gene therapy is an emerging field of biomedicine that has commanded considerable scientific and popular attention. The procedure involves the transfer of genes to patients for clinical benefit. Transferred genes can b e used for either reparative or pharmacological purposes. OVERVIEW In 1995, the first author and a colleague described the potential impact of gene therapy on dentistry, on the basis of initial studies of gene transfer applications to salivary glands, keratinocytes and cancer cells. Their conclusion was that gene therapy would have a significant impact on the nature of dental practice within 20 years. In this article, the authors consider research progress since 1995 and reexamine the earlier conclusion. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS In the past six years, remarkable progress has been made in the field of gene therapy, including seven areas relevant to dental practice: bone repair, salivary glands, autoimmune disease, pain, DNA vaccinations, keratinocytes and cancer. While considerable problems remain, thus impeding the routine clinical use of gene transfer, gene therapy will have a pervasive and significant impact on areas of dental practice that are based in biological science. By 2015, this will translate into practitioners' having a wide range of novel biological treatment options for their patients.
