Abstract
The rapid clearance of apoptotic cells (ACs), known as efferocytosis, prompts the inhibition of inflammatory responses and autoimmunity and maintains homeostatic cell turnover by controlling the release of intracellular contents. The fast clearance of ACs requires professional and nonprofessional phagocytic cells that can accurately and promptly recognize ACs and migrate towards them. Cells undergoing apoptosis alarm their presence by releasing special soluble chemotactic factors, such as lactoferrin, that act as "Find me," "Keep out," or "Stay away" signals to recruit phagocytic cells, such as macrophages or prevent granulocyte migration. Efferocytosis effectively serves to prevent damage-associated molecular pattern release and secondary necrosis and inhibit inflammation/autoimmunity at the very first step. Since less attention has been given to the cross-talk and balance of "Find me" and "Keep out" signals released from ACs in efferocytosis, we set out to investigate the current knowledge of the roles of "Find me" and "Keep out" signals in the efferocytosis process.

Abstract
Here we consider the impact of the physiological cell-death programme on normal tissue homeostasis and on disease pathogenesis, with particular reference to evolution and progression of neoplasia. We seek to describe the direct contributions played by apoptosis in creating the microenvironments of normal and malignant tissues and to discuss the molecular mechanisms underlying the elements of the '3Rs' that define the meaning of apoptosis: recognition, response, and removal. Apoptotic cells elicit responses in other cell types-both phagocytic and non-phagocytic-through short- and long-range signalling modes that range from direct contact to intercellular communication via membrane-bound microparticles. Such cellular responses include migration, proliferation, and differentiation, as well as production of immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory mediators together with, in the case of phagocytes, engulfment, and breakdown of apoptotic cells. In normal tissues, the removal of apoptotic cells is rapid and typically non-phlogistic. We discuss the importance of this clearance process in tissue homeostasis and the consequences of its failure in disease pathogenesis. Using the typical cell culture environment in vitro as an illustrative example in which apoptosis occurs commonly in the absence of the removal mechanisms, we also discuss the inhibitory effects of persistent apoptotic cells on their otherwise viable neighbours. Since apoptosis is a common and sustained event in high-grade malignancies, we hypothesize on its purposeful role in conditioning the tumour microenvironment. We propose that apoptosis subserves several pro-tumour functions-trophic, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory-and we identify strategies targeting host responses to apoptotic cells as promising modes of future therapies that could be applied to multiple cancer types in which tumour-cell apoptosis is active.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure of phosphatidylserine (PS) on apoptotic cells is known to result in the enhanced recognition of apoptotic cells by phagocytes. By the inclusion of PS in the lipid component of liposomes, increased liposome immune adjuvant activity was expected. METHODS In the present study, two different liposome preparations containing either PS, i.e. PS-liposome, or phosphatidylcholine (PC), i.e. PC-liposome, were made, and macrophage recognition, processing, and antigen presentation of surface-coupled liposomal antigen were compared. RESULTS When ovalbumin-liposome conjugates were added to a culture of macrophages, enhanced recognition and processing of ovalbumin by the macrophages were observed by the inclusion of PS in the liposomes. The results correlated well with those regarding macrophage antigen presentation of liposome-coupled ovalbumin. Furthermore, in vivo immunization in mice with ovalbumin-liposome conjugates made with PS-liposomes induced a significantly higher level of anti-ovalbumin IgG antibody production than was induced by ovalbumin-liposome conjugates made with PC-liposomes. IgE-selective unresponsiveness was induced by ovalbumin-liposome conjugates regardless of the lipid components of liposomes. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the inclusion of PS in liposomes enhances recognition and processing of surface-coupled liposomal antigen by macrophages, and increases liposome immune adjuvant activity.

Abstract
In order to design an optimized liposome immunoadjuvant for inducing cell-mediated immune response against soluble proteinaceous antigens, we investigated the effect of liposomal surface charge on the immunoadjuvant action. Positively charged liposomes containing soluble antigens functioned as a more potent inducer of antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses and delayed type hypersensitivity response than negatively charged and neutral liposomes containing the same concentrations of antigens. To clarify the reason of the differential immune response, we examined the delivery of soluble proteins by the liposomes into the cytoplasm of macrophages, using fragment A of diphtheria toxin (DTA) as a marker. We found that positively charged liposomes encapsulating DTA are cytotoxic to macrophages, while empty positively charged liposomes, DTA in negatively charged and neutral liposomes are not. Consistent with this, only macrophages pulsed with OVA in positively charged liposomes could significantly stimulate OVA-specific, class I MHC-restricted T cell hybridoma. These results suggest that the positively charged liposomes can deliver proteinaceous antigens efficiently into the cytoplasm of the macrophages/antigen-presenting cells, where the antigens are processed to be presented by class I MHC molecules to induce the cell-mediated immune response. Possible development of the safe and effective vaccine is discussed.

Abstract
The interaction with liver cells of liposomes containing different mol fractions of phosphatidylserine was investigated in vivo and in vitro. Increasing the amount of liposomal phosphatidylserine from 10 to 30 mol% leads to a faster blood disappearance of the liposomes. Within the liver, which is mainly responsible for this elimination, these liposomes are only taken up by the hepatocytes and Kupffer cells. By contrast, sinusoidal endothelial cells, in vitro, do bind and internalize liposomes containing >/=30% phosphatidylserine at least as actively as Kupffer cells. The uptake by endothelial and Kupffer cells is inhibited by poly(inosinic acid) and other anionic macromolecules, suggesting the involvement of scavenger receptors. The lack of liposome uptake by endothelial cells under in vivo conditions can be attributed to plasma effects since addition of various sera caused severe reduction of in vitro uptake of liposomes. In vivo the phosphatidylserine head groups may be masked by plasma proteins adsorbed to the liposomal surface, thus preventing recognition by receptors, which are intrinsically able to recognize phosphatidylserine.

Abstract
As liposomes are cleared from the circulation to a substantial extent by the phagocytic cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS), there is a question whether administration of liposome-based therapeutic agents interferes with clearance of infectious organisms by the MPS from blood. In the present study, at first the effect of administration of three types of empty liposomes (devoid of drug), differing in blood residence time, on carbon clearance and bacterial clearance from blood was studied with mice. Classical liposomes (LIP A) and placebo liposomes with lipid composition as in AmBisome (LIP B) or as in Doxil (LIP C) were used. Liposomes were administered intravenously as a single dose. Second, the effect of multiple-dose administration of AmBisome on bacterial blood clearance was studied with rats. AmBisome was administered with two different dosage schedules. The blood clearance capacity of the MPS was monitored at different time points after the last liposome injection. It was shown that the carbon blood clearance capacity of the MPS was impaired only at a high lipid dose of empty classical liposomes. The bacterial blood clearance capacity was never impaired, not even after prolonged treatment with AmBisome administered in a clinically relevant regimen.

Abstract
To design an optimum liposome immunoadjuvant for soluble protein antigens, we investigated the relationship between liposomal surface charge and adjuvant action. Positively charged multilamellar vesicles (MLV) were taken up efficiently by macrophages, while negatively charged and neutral MLVs were hardly picked up. Consistent with this, positively charged MLVs containing soluble chicken egg albumin (OVA) functioned as a more potent inducer of antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses and antibody production than negatively charged and neutral MLVs containing the same concentrations of antigens. These results indicate that the positive charge on the surface of liposomes represents an important factor for enhancing their immunoadjuvancy in the induction of antigen-specific immune responses.
