Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory skin disease characterized by severe pruritus and eczematous lesions. Heterogeneity of AD has been reported among different racial groups according to clinical, molecular and genetic differences. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to conduct an in-depth transcriptome analysis of AD in Chinese population. METHODS We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis of skin biopsies from five Chinese adult patients with chronic AD and from four healthy controls, combined with multiplexed immunohistochemical analysis in whole-tissue skin biopsies. We explored the functions of IL19 in vitro. RESULTS ScRNA-seq analysis was able to profile a total of 87,853 cells, with keratinocytes (KCs) in AD manifesting highly expressed keratinocyte activation and pro-inflammatory genes. KCs demonstrated a novel IL19+ IGFL1+ subpopulation that increased in AD lesions. Inflammatory cytokines IFNG, IL13, IL26 and IL22 were highly expressed in AD lesions. In vitro, IL19 directly downregulated KRT10 and LOR in HaCaT cells and activated HaCaT cells to produce TSLP. CONCLUSION Abnormal proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes contribute immensely to the pathogenesis of AD, whereas AD chronic lesions have witnessed significant presence of IL19+ IGFL1+ KCs, which may be involved in the disruption of the skin barrier, the connection and magnification of Th2 and Th17 inflammatory responses, and mediation of skin pruritus. Furthermore, progressive activation of multiple immune axes dominated by Type 2 inflammatory reaction occur in AD chronic lesions.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize the evolution of skin xenotransplantation and contextualize technological advances and the status of clinically applicable large animal research as well as prospects for translation of this work as a viable future treatment option. RECENT FINDINGS Porcine xenografts at the start of the millennium were merely biologic dressings subject to rapid rejection. Since then, numerous important advances in swine to nonhuman primate models have yielded xenotransplant products at the point of clinical translation. Critical genetic modifications in swine from a designated pathogen-free donor herd have allowed xenograft survival reaching 30 days without preconditioning or maintenance immunosuppression. Further, xenograft coverage appears not to sensitize the recipient to subsequent allograft placement and vice versa, allowing for temporary coverage times to be doubled using both xeno and allografts. SUMMARY Studies in large animal models have led to significant progress in the creation of living, functional skin xenotransplants with clinically relevant shelf-lives to improve the management of patients with extensive burns.

Abstract
Contact hypersensitivity (CHS) is the most common occupational dermatological disease. Dendritic cells (DCs) mediate the sensitization stage of CHS, while T-cells facilitate the effector mechanisms that drive CHS. Black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis, BRB) and BRB phytochemicals possess immunomodulatory properties, but their dietary effects on CHS are unknown. We examined the effects of diets containing BRB and protocatechuic acid (PCA, a constituent of BRB and an anthocyanin metabolite produced largely by gut microbes), on CHS, using a model induced by 2,4-dinitrofluorobenze (DNFB). Mice were fed control diet or diets supplemented with BRB or PCA. In vitro bone-marrow derived DCs and RAW264.7 macrophages were treated with BRB extract and PCA. Mice fed BRB or PCA supplemented diets displayed decreased DNFB-induced ear swelling, marked by decreased splenic DC accumulation. BRB extract diminished DC maturation associated with reduced Cd80 expression and Interleukin (IL)-12 secretion, and PCA reduced IL-12. Dietary supplementation with BRB and PCA induced differential decreases in IL-12-driven CHS mediators, including Interferon (IFN)-γ and IL-17 production by T-cells. BRB extracts and PCA directly attenuated CHS-promoting macrophage activity mediated by nitric oxide and IL-12. Our results demonstrate that BRB and PCA mitigate CHS pathology, providing a rationale for CHS alleviation via dietary supplementation with BRB or BRB derived anthocyanins.

Abstract
AIM Immunotherapies blocking the CD47-SIRPα pathway by targeting CD47 enhance macrophage phagocytosis of neoplastic cells in mouse models. As SIRPα exhibits relatively restricted tissue expression, SIRPα antagonists may be better tolerated than agents targeting CD47, which is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues. Here, we investigated the therapeutic impact of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against CD47 and/or SIRPα on gastroenterological tumors in syngeneic immunocompetent mouse models. METHODS We used in vitro and in vivo phagocytosis assays in C57BL/6J (B6) mice to investigate anti-CD47/SIRPα mAb effects on Hepa1-6 and CMT93 originating from B6 mice. The influence of these mAbs on macrophage transmigration was also assessed. To investigate anti-SIRPα mAb therapy-induced inhibitory effects on sporadic colon cancer growth, we used a CDX2P9.5-NLS Cre;APC + /FLOX (CPC-APC) mouse model. RESULTS Systemic anti-SIRPα mAb administration significantly increased Hepa1-6 and CMT93 cell susceptibility to macrophage phagocytosis, both in vitro and in vivo. Conversely, similarly administered anti-CD47 mAb did not promote macrophage phagocytosis of target cells, whereas cells incubated with anti-CD47 mAb prior to inoculation were more susceptible to macrophage phagocytosis. In vitro cell migration assays revealed that binding with anti-CD47 mAb inhibited macrophage transmigration. Anti-SIRPα mAb treatment inhibited tumor progression in CPC-APC mice and significantly improved overall survival. Anti-CD47 mAb administration in vivo eliminated the phagocytosis-promoting CD47 blockade effect, probably by inhibiting macrophage transmigration/chemotaxis. In contrast, anti-SIRPα mAb exhibited enhanced macrophage phagocytic activity and marked anti-tumor effects against gastroenterological malignancies. CONCLUSION SIRPα mAb augmentation of macrophage phagocytic activity may represent an effective treatment strategy for human gastrointestinal tumors.

Abstract
Half a million patients in the USA alone require treatment for burns annually. Following an extensive burn, it may not be possible to provide sufficient autografts in a single setting. Pig skin xenografts may provide temporary coverage. However, preformed xenoreactive antibodies in the human recipient activate complement, and thus result in rapid rejection of the graft. Because burn patients usually have some degree of immune dysfunction and are therefore at increased risk of infection, immunosuppressive therapy is undesirable. Genetic engineering of the pig has increased the survival of pig heart, kidney, islet, and corneal grafts in immunosuppressed non-human primates from minutes to months or occasionally years. We summarize the current status of research into skin xenotransplantation for burns, with special emphasis on developments in genetic engineering of pigs to protect the graft from immunological injury. A genetically-engineered pig skin graft now survives as long as an allograft and, importantly, rejection of a skin xenograft is not detrimental to a subsequent allograft. Nevertheless, currently, systemic immunosuppressive therapy would still be required to inhibit a cellular response, and so we discuss what further genetic manipulations could be carried out to inhibit the cellular response.

Abstract
UV radiation, particularly UVB, is the major risk factor for the induction of skin cancer, and it induces skin inflammation and immunosuppression. Although reports documented that Langerhans cells (LCs) play various roles in photobiology, little is known about whether they contribute to UVB-induced cutaneous inflammation. Recently, the anti-inflammatory effect of apoptotic cells was noted. This study focuses on the roles of LCs and apoptotic cells in UVB-induced cutaneous inflammation. We show that LCs are essential for resolution of UVB-induced cutaneous inflammation. Administration of quinolyl-valyl-O-methylaspartyl-[2,6-difluophenoxy]-methyl ketone, a broad-spectrum caspase inhibitor with potent antiapoptotic properties, inhibited the formation of UVB-induced apoptotic cells and aggravated UVB-induced cutaneous inflammation in wild-type mice. In contrast, exacerbation of UVB-induced cutaneous inflammation following quinolyl-valyl-O-methylaspartyl-[2,6-difluophenoxy]-methyl ketone administration was not observed in LC-depleted mice. These results suggest that the interaction between LCs and apoptotic cells is critical for resolution of UVB-induced cutaneous inflammation. Interestingly, UVB-induced apoptotic keratinocytes were increased in LC-depleted mice. In addition, we revealed that UVB-induced apoptotic keratinocytes were phagocytosed by LCs ex vivo and that prolongation of UVB-induced cutaneous inflammation following treatment with Cytochalasin D, an inhibitor of phagocytosis, was partially attenuated in LC-depleted mice. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that the interaction between LCs and apoptotic cells, possibly via LC-mediated phagocytosis of apoptotic keratinocytes, has an essential anti-inflammatory role in the resolution of UVB-induced cutaneous inflammation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION CD47 is a ubiquitously expressed cell surface receptor that serves as a counter-receptor for SIRPα in recognition of self by the innate immune system. Independently, CD47 also functions as an important signaling receptor for regulating cell responses to stress. AREAS COVERED We review the expression, molecular interactions, and pathophysiological functions of CD47 in the cardiovascular and immune systems. CD47 was first identified as a potential tumor marker, and we examine recent evidence that its dysregulation contributes to cancer progression and evasion of anti-tumor immunity. We further discuss therapeutic strategies for enhancing or inhibiting CD47 signaling and applications of such agents in preclinical models of ischemia and ischemia/reperfusion injuries, organ transplantation, pulmonary hypertension, radioprotection, and cancer. EXPERT OPINION Ongoing studies are revealing a central role of CD47 for conveying signals from the extracellular microenvironment that limit cell and tissue survival upon exposure to various types of stress. Based on this key function, therapeutics targeting CD47 or its ligands thrombospondin-1 and SIRPα could have broad applications spanning reconstructive surgery, engineering of tissues and biocompatible surfaces, vascular diseases, diabetes, organ transplantation, radiation injuries, inflammatory diseases, and cancer.

Abstract
Thioredoxin, a redox-regulating protein that scavenges reactive oxygen species, appears to show an excellent antiinflammatory effect in treating animal models of various human inflammatory diseases. The aim of this study was to clarify whether thioredoxin is useful for treating inflammatory skin diseases, such as contact dermatitis, caused by epicutaneous exposure to environmental and occupational antigens. The allergic contact hypersensitivity response was suppressed in thioredoxin-transgenic mice. This suppressive effect of thioredoxin appeared to be via the inhibition of the efferent limb of contact hypersensitivity because administration of recombinant thioredoxin suppressed the inflammatory response in the elicitation phase but not in the induction phase. Adoptive-transfer studies revealed that the host environment, but not donor leukocytes, is critical in this suppressive effect. In thioredoxin-transgenic mice, the infiltration of neutrophils in the elicitation site was diminished, whereas the migratory function of cutaneous dendritic cells and hapten-specific cell proliferation were not disturbed. Thioredoxin-transgenic mice had also an attenuated inflammatory response to croton oil. These findings suggest that thioredoxin prevents skin inflammatory responses and could be a suitable candidate for the treatment of contact dermatitis.

Abstract
In recent years there has been an increase in the need for tissue replacement in the head and neck region. The disadvantages of classical reconstructive procedures are donor site morbidity for autologous transplants and the immunogenity of allogenous transplants. Tissue engineering is a promising method for the generation of autologous cartilagenous transplants for plastic and reconstructive surgery for closure of large defects by the use of minimal amounts of material for reconstruction. For this purpose harvested material must be cultivated in suitable culture/carrier systems. One obstacle is the loss of phenotype and function once the cells are detached from their environment (dedifferentiation). Adult mesenchymal stem cells are a valuable cell source for tissue engineering. The underlying strategy of using stem cells is the replacement of functionally compromised cells either by in vitro expanded stem cells or activation of stem cells in the tissue. However, there are still problems regarding valuable markers for cellular differentiation and the controlled differentiation towards a specific phenotype.

Abstract
Langerhans cells (LCs) serve as epidermal sentinels of the adaptive immune system. Conventional wisdom suggests that LCs encounter Ag in the skin and then migrate to the draining lymph nodes, where the Ag is presented to T cells, thus initiating an immune response. Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a phospholipid mediator with potent biological effects. During inflammation, PAF mediates recruitment of leukocytes to inflammatory sites. We herein tested a hypothesis that PAF induces LC migration. Applying 2,4-dinitro-1-fluorobenzene (DNFB) to wild-type mice activated LC migration. In contrast, applying DNFB to PAF receptor-deficient mice or mice injected with PAF receptor antagonists failed to induce LC migration. Moreover, after FITC application the appearance of hapten-laden LCs (FITC+, CD11c+, Langerin+) in the lymph nodes of PAF receptor-deficient mice was significantly depressed compared with that found in wild-type mice. LC chimerism indicates that the PAF receptor on keratinocytes but not LCs is responsible for LC migration. Contrary to the diminution of LC migration in PAF receptor-deficient mice, we did not observe any difference in the migration of hapten-laden dermal dendritic cells (FITC+, CD11c+, Langerin-) into the lymph nodes of PAF receptor-deficient mice. Additionally, the contact hypersensitivity response generated in wild-type or PAF receptor-deficient mice was identical. Finally, dermal dendritic cells, but not LCs isolated from the draining lymph nodes after hapten application, activated T cell proliferation. These findings suggest that LC migration may not be responsible for the generation of contact hypersensitivity and that dermal dendritic cells may play a more important role.

Abstract
In human skin, two main populations of dendritic cells (DC) can be discriminated: dermal DC (DDC) and epidermal Langerhans cells (LC). Although extensively studied, most of the knowledge about DDC and LC phenotype and function is obtained from studying DDC and LC cultured in vitro or DDC and LC migrated from skin explants. These studies have left the exact relationship between steady-state human LC and DDC unclear: in particular, whether CD1a+ DDC represent migrated LC or whether they constitute a separate subset. To gain further insight in the kinship between skin-resident CD1a+ DDC and LC, we analyzed CD1a+ DDC and LC, isolated from steady-state skin samples, by high-density microarray analysis. Results show that the CD1a+ DDC specifically express markers associated with DDC phenotype, such as the macrophage mannose receptor, DC-specific ICAM-grabbing nonintegrin, the scavenger receptor CD36, coagulation factor XIIIa, and chemokine receptor CCR5, whereas LC specifically express Langerin, membrane ATPase (CD39), and CCR6, all hallmarks of the LC lineage. In addition, under steady-state conditions, both DC subsets display a strikingly different activation status, indicative of distinct functional properties. CD1a+ DDC exhibit a more activated, proinflammatory, migratory, and T cell-stimulatory profile, as compared with LC, whereas LC mainly express molecules involved in cell adhesion and DC retention in the epidermis. In conclusion, transcriptional profiling is consistent with the notion that CD1a+ DDC and LC represent two distinct DC subsets but also that under steady-state conditions, CD1a+ DDC and epidermal LC represent opposites of the DC activation spectrum.

Abstract
Recent advances have been made in our understanding of the roles played by cutaneous dendritic cells (DCs) in the induction of contact allergy. A number of associated changes in epidermal Langerhans cell phenotype and function required for effective skin sensitization are providing the foundations for the development of cellular assays (using DC and DC-like cells) for skin sensitization hazard identification. These alternative approaches to the identification and characterization of skin sensitizing chemicals were the focus of a Workshop entitled "Dendritic Cells and Skin Sensitization: Biological Roles and Uses in Hazard Identification" that was given at the annual Society of Toxicology meeting held March 6-9, 2006 in San Diego, California. This paper reports information that was presented during the Workshop.

Abstract
Recently, we reported that Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase substrate 1 (SHPS-1) plays an important role in the migration of Langerhans cells (LC). Here, we show that SHPS-1 is involved in the maturation of LC. Immunofluorescence analysis on epidermal sheets for I-A or CD86 revealed that LC maturation induced by 2,4-dinitro-1-fluorobenzene (DNFB) or by TNF-alpha was inhibited by pretreatment with an anti-SHPS-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) or with CD47-Fc fusion protein, a ligand for SHPS-1. Further, FACS analysis demonstrated that I-A(+) LC that had emigrated from skin explants expressed CD80 or CD86, whereas CD47-Fc protein reduced CD80(high+) or CD86(high+) cells. CD47-Fc protein also reduced the up-regulation of surface CD80 or CD86 by LC remaining in the skin explants. In SHPS-1 mutant mice, we observed that the up-regulation of surface CD86 and CCR7 by LC induced by DNFB as well as that of surface CD80 and CD86 by LC in skin explants was attenuated. Finally, contact hypersensitivity (CHS) response was suppressed in SHPS-1 mutant mice and in wild-type mice treated with an anti-SHPS-1 mAb. These observations indicate that SHPS-1 plays an important role in the maturation of LC ex vivo and in vivo, and that SHPS-1-CD47 interaction may negatively regulate CHS.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) capture and process Ag in the periphery. Thus, traffic through lymphatic vessels is mandatory before DCs relocate to lymph nodes where they are dedicated to T-cell priming. Here, we show that the ubiquitous self-marker CD47 selectively regulates DC, but not T and B cell trafficking across lymphatic vessels and endothelial barriers in vivo. We find an altered skin DC migration and impaired T-cell priming in CD47-deficient mice at steady state and under inflammatory conditions. Competitive DC migration assays and active immunization with myeloid DCs demonstrate that CD47 expression is required on DCs but not on the endothelium for efficient DC trafficking and T-cell responses. This migratory defect correlates with the quasi-disappearance of splenic marginal zone DCs in nonmanipulated CD47-deficient mice. Nonetheless, CCR7 expression and CCL19-driven chemotaxis remain intact. Our data reveal that CD47 on DCs is a critical factor in controlling migration and efficient initiation of the immune response.

Abstract
CD47 is an integrin-associated penta-transmembrane protein that possesses an immunoglobulin-like domain in its extracellular region. We have now investigated the role of CD47 in the regulation of epithelial cell spreading and migration. CD47 is colocalized with E-cadherin at cell-cell adhesion sites of epithelial cells. A Ca2+ switch experiment showed that CD47 was endocytosed and then relocalized to cell-cell adhesion sites in a similar manner to E-cadherin. Such polarized localization of CD47 required the multiple spanning region of this protein. Forced expression of CD47 induced cell spreading with marked lamellipodium formation and resulted in both partial disruption of cell-cell adhesion and enhancement of the hepatocyte growth factor-stimulated scattering of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. The CD47-induced cell spreading was blocked by inhibition of Src and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase. Thus, these results suggest that CD47 participates in the regulation of cell-cell adhesion and cell migration through reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton in epithelial cells. This function of CD47 is mediated by the activation of Src and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase.
