Abstract
CpG-DNA upregulates the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and cell surface markers. Investigators have shown that CD11b (integrin αM) regulates TLR-triggered inflammatory responses in the macrophages and dendritic cells. Therefore, we aimed to identify the effects of CpG-DNA on the expression of CD11b in macrophages. There was no significant change in surface expression of CD11b after CpG-DNA stimulation. However, CD11b was released into culture supernatants after stimulation with phosphorothioate-backbone modified CpG-DNA such as PS-ODN CpG-DNA 1826(S). In contrast, MB-ODN 4531 and non-CpG-DNA control (regardless of backbone type and liposome-encapsulation) failed to induce release of CD11b. Therefore, the context of the CpG-DNA sequence and phosphorothioate backbone modification may regulate the effects of CpG-DNA on CD11b release. Based on inhibitor studies, CD11b release is mediated by p38 MAP kinase activation, but not by the PI3K and NF-κB activation. CD11b release is mediated by lysosomal degradation and by vacuolar acidification in response to CpG-DNA stimulation. The amount of CD11b in the exosome precipitant was significantly increased by CpG-DNA stimulation in vivo and in vitro depending on TLR9. Our observations perhaps give more insight into understanding of the mechanisms involved in CpG-DNA-induced immunomodulation in the innate immunity.

Abstract
The magnitude and specificity of cell-mediated and humoral immunity are critically determined by peptide sequences; peptides corresponding to the B- or T-cell receptor epitopes are sufficient to induce an effective immune response if delivered properly. Therefore, studies on the screening and application of peptide-based epitopes have been done extensively for the development of therapeutic antibodies and prophylactic vaccines. However, the efficacy of immune response and antibody production by peptide-based immunization is too limited for human application at the present. To improve the efficacy of vaccines, researchers formulated adjuvants such as alum, water-in-oil emulsion, and Toll-like receptor agonists. They also employed liposomes as delivering vehicles to stimulate immune responses. Here, we review our recent studies providing a potent method of epitope screening and antibody production without conventional carriers. We adopted Lipoplex(O), comprising a natural phosphodiester bond CpG-DNA and a specific liposome complex, as an adjuvant. Lipoplex(O) induces potent stimulatory activity in humans as well as in mice, and immunization of mice with several peptides along with Lipoplex(O) without general carriers induces significant production of each peptide-specific IgG2a. Immunization of peptide vaccines against virus-associated antigens in mice has protective effects against the viral infection. A peptide vaccine against carcinoma-associated antigen and the peptide-specific monoclonal antibody has functional effects against cancer cells in mouse models. In conclusion, we improved the efficacy of peptide vaccines in mice. Our strategy can be applied in development of therapeutic antibodies or in defense against pandemic infectious diseases through rapid screening of potent B-cell epitopes.

Abstract
The inner ear, composed of the cochlea and the vestibule, is a specialized sensory organ for hearing and balance. Although the inner ear has been known as an immune-privileged organ, there is emerging evidence indicating an active immune reaction of the inner ear. Inner ear inflammation can be induced by the entry of proinflammatory molecules derived from middle ear infection. Because middle ear infection is highly prevalent in children, middle ear infection-induced inner ear inflammation can impact the normal development of language and motor coordination. Previously, we have demonstrated that the inner ear fibrocytes (spiral ligament fibrocytes) are able to recognize nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae, a major pathogen of middle ear infection, and upregulate a monocyte-attracting chemokine through TLR2-dependent NF-κB activation. In this study, we aimed to determine the molecular mechanism involved in nontypeable H. influenzae-induced cochlear infiltration of polymorphonuclear cells. The rat spiral ligament fibrocytes were found to release CXCL2 in response to nontypeable H. influenzae via activation of c-Jun, leading to the recruitment of polymorphonuclear cells to the cochlea. We also demonstrate that MEK1/ERK2 signaling pathway is required for nontypeable H. influenzae-induced CXCL2 upregulation in the rat spiral ligament fibrocytes. Two AP-1 motifs in the 5'-flanking region of CXCL2 appeared to function as a nontypeable H. influenzae-responsive element, and the proximal AP-1 motif was found to have a higher binding affinity to nontypeable H. influenzae-activated c-Jun than that of the distal one. Our results will enable us better to understand the molecular pathogenesis of middle ear infection-induced inner ear inflammation.

Abstract
Macrophages are activated by recognizing bacterial DNA and CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODNs) through Toll-like receptor-9 (TLR-9). Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) has been shown to be an important factor in inflammation-induced macrophage migration which is essential for defense functions. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the molecular mechanism associated with the regulation of PAI-1 expression and its biological significance in CpG-ODN-stimulated mouse macrophages. Our results clearly show that PAI-1 expression in macrophages was highly up-regulated by CpG-ODN-stimulation in vitro and in vivo. The TLR-9-mediated stimulation of PAI-1 expression was independent of the NF-κB pathway and involved the synergistic activation of Sp1 and Elk-1 by the MEK1/2-ERK and JNK signaling pathways. The elevated PAI-1 expression resulted in significantly enhanced transmigration of RAW264.7 cells through vitronectin but not through fibronectin. We suggest that CpG-ODN plays a role in regulating macrophage migration by stimulating the expression of PAI-1, and the migration is modulated depending on the microenvironmental extracellular matrix components.

Abstract
CpG-DNA, which contains unmethylated CpG dinucleotides in the context of specific sequences, has remarkable and diverse immunological effects, including induction of proinflammatory cytokine expression and regulation of the Th1/Th2 immune response. Here, we examined the immunostimulatory activities of double-stranded (ds) CpG-DNA in the human B cell line RPMI8226. To investigate whether dsCpG-DNA stimulates immune cells, we constructed a plasmid containing repeated dsCpG-DNA and produced dsCpG-DNA by PCR amplification and EcoR I digestion. PCR-amplified dsCpG-DNA alone did not have immmunostimulatory activity. However, dsCpGDNA encapsulated with lipofectin induced IL-8 promoter activation, HLA-DRA expression, and IL-8 expression in a CG sequence- independent manner. The effects of encapsulated dsCpGDNA were independent of minor endotoxin contamination. These findings suggest the potential use of dsCpG-DNA as a therapy for immune response regulation.

Abstract
Defensins have a broad range of antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. The expression of human beta-defensin-2 (hBD-2) is prevalently observed in epithelial cells and is induced by bacterial infection. Here, we have shown that the expression of the hBD-2 gene and release of hBD-2 protein into the medium is up-regulated in response to CpG-DNA in human B cell line RPMI 8226. The induction of hBD-2 was dependent on CG sequence and phosphorothioate backbone-modification. This was also confirmed in primary human lymphocytes. To shed light on the molecular mechanism involved in hBD-2 induction by CpG-DNA, we examined the contribution of the NF-kappaB signaling pathway in RPMI 8226 cells. Suppression of MyD88 function and inhibition of NF-kappaB nuclear localization blocked hBD-2 induction. The NF-kappaB pathway inhibitors also abolished hBD-2 induction. These results may contribute to a better understanding on the therapeutic effects of CpG-DNA against infectious diseases.

Abstract
Oligodeoxynucleotides containing immunostimulatory CpG motifs (CpG-DNA) have gained attention as potentially useful therapeutics. However, the phosphorothioate-modified CpG-DNAs (PS-ODN) can induce backbone-related side effects. Here, we compared the immunostimulatory activity of natural phosphodiester CpG-DNA (PO-ODN) from Mycobacterium bovis and PS-ODN in mice. Both PO-ODN and PS-ODN induced production of IL-12. PS-ODN increased spleen weights, spleen cell numbers, and the migration of macrophages into the peritoneal cavity in the mice in a CG sequence-dependent manner. PS-ODN induced anti-PS-ODN antibody production in the mice, and the PS-ODN-specific IgM was cross-reactive with other PS-ODNs in a CG sequence-independent manner. In contrast, PO-ODN did not affect on spleen weights, cell numbers, or IgM production. These results may provide an explanation for the side effects in immunotherapeutic application of PS-ODN. They also suggest that PO-ODN may be more optimal than PS-ODN to enhance innate immune responses without severe side effects.

Abstract
Schlafen-2 (slfn-2) is a member of slfn family, regulators of T cell development and its expression is altered during infection by microbial pathogens. However, the molecular mechanism involved in slfn expression is still to be determined. In this study, we isolated slfn-2 as a LPS-induced differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in RAW 264.7 cells and examined expression and regulation of slfn-2 in CpG-DNA-treated and LPS-treated macrophages. We defined a transcriptional start site in the slfn-2 gene. To examine the promoter organization of the slfn-2 gene, we cloned a approximately 1.8 kb region upstream of the transcription start site. Sequence analysis indicates consensus sites for AP-1 and NF-kappaB. Comprehensive mutant analyses, ELISA-based transcription factor activation assay, and ChIP assays reveal that functional interaction of AP-1 and NF-kappaB with the promoter element is necessary for the Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated slfn-2 gene expression by CpG-DNA and LPS treatment in macrophages. In summary, we identified a slfn-2 promoter for the first time and demonstrated that CpG-DNA and LPS triggers slfn-2 gene expression by activating NF-kappaB and AP-1 pathways in macrophages.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is a secreted type IV collagenase that plays an important role in the remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the migration of normal and tumor cells. We have shown that CpG-ODN-induced migration of RAW 264.7 cell is regulated by MMP-9 activity by using tissue inhibitors of MMP-1 (TIMP-1). The MMP-9 gene expression was transcriptionally induced by CpG-ODN in a time-dependent manner. An MMP-9 promoter-reporter was activated by the stimulation of CpG-ODN and ectopical expression of NF-kappaB transcription factor. Inhibition of NF-kappaB nuclear localization by co-expression of a mutant IkappaBalpha protein blocked the CpG-ODN-induced MMP-9 promoter activation. BMS-345541, an IKK-2 inhibitor also inhibited the expression of MMP-9 gene induced by CpG-ODN. Direct binding of NF-kappaB protein to the promoter region of the MMP-9 was confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation using NF-kappaB antibody. These results lead us to a conclusion that NF-kappaB activation is required for MMP-9 gene expression. In summary, our data suggest that NF-kappaB-dependent expression of MMP-9 in response to CpG-ODN plays an important role in the recruitment of immune cells.

Abstract
Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODNs) and bacterial DNA containing unmethylated CpG dinucleotides in the context of particular base sequences (CpG motifs) are known to inhibit anti-IgM-induced growth arrest and apoptosis of WHEI 231 B lymphocytes, and spontaneous apoptosis of mature spleen B cells in a sequence-specific fashion of the CpG-ODN. Here we report that CpG-ODN protects from the cell death induced by gamma-irradiation of primary mouse spleen cells as well as mouse RAW 264.7 macrophage cells and human RPMI 8226 B cells. Experimental results showed that CpG-ODN promotes growth of the cells, and protects the cells from gamma-irradiation-induced cell death accompanying Bcl-xS/L and Bcl-2 upregulation. Furthermore, survival of macrophages was enhanced when splenocytes were pretreated with CpG-ODN. Our results suggest the potential application of CpG-ODNs for more efficient cancer radiotherapy by enhancing survival of normal immune cells after radiation damage.

Abstract
Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) is a stable compound that acts as antioxidant or prooxidant, and is widely used to inhibit the activation of NF-kappaB. PDTC was also reported to activate NF-kappaB depending on its dose and metal ions in PC12 cells. In this work, we demonstrated a working mechanism of PDTC and its effects on the proinflammatory cytokine gene expression in a mouse macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7. PDTC alone induced NF-kappaB-independent MIP-2 promoter activation that can be assessed by transient transfection and confocal image analysis. The involvement of AP-1 transcription factor was noticed by promoter deletion/site-specific mutation analysis and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Among three different mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways tested, only the stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK)/Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway was significantly activated in RAW 264.7 cells after the stimulation with PDTC. Using pathway-specific inhibitors, we found that the SAPK/JNK pathway is clearly associated with PDTC-induced MIP-2 gene expression. Our experimental results indicate that PDTC-induced proinflammatory cytokine expressions are mediated by SAPK/JNK pathway, which activates AP-1.
