Abstract
The immune response plays a key role in the treatment of malignant tumors. One important molecule promoting humoral and cellular immunity is granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Numerous successful trials have led to the approval of this immune-stimulating molecule for cancer therapy. However, besides immune stimulation, GM-CSF may also accelerate tumor cell proliferation, rendering this molecule a double-edged sword in cancer treatment. Therefore, detailed knowledge about the in vitro function of GM-CSF produced by infected tumor cells is urgently needed prior to investigations in an in vivo model. The aim of the present study was to functionally characterize a persistent infection of canine histiocytic sarcoma cells (DH82 cells) with the canine distemper virus strain Onderstepoort genetically engineered to express canine GM-CSF (CDV-Ondneon-GM-CSF). The investigations aimed (1) to prove the overall functionality of the virally induced production of GM-CSF and (2) to determine the effect of GM-CSF on the proliferation and motility of canine HS cells. Infected cells consistently produced high amounts of active, pH-stable GM-CSF, as demonstrated by increased proliferation of HeLa cells. By contrast, DH82 cells lacked increased proliferation and motility. The significantly increased secretion of GM-CSF by persistently CDV-Ondneon-GM-CSF-infected DH82 cells, the pH stability of this protein, and the lack of detrimental effects on DH82 cells renders this virus strain an interesting candidate for future studies aiming to enhance the oncolytic properties of CDV for the treatment of canine histiocytic sarcomas.

Abstract
Members of the colony stimulating factor cytokine family play important roles in macrophage activation and recruitment to inflammatory lesions. Among them, granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is known to be associated with immune response to mycobacterial infection. However, the mechanism through which Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) affects the expression of GM-CSF is poorly understood. Using PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells, we found that MTB infection increased GM-CSF mRNA expression in a dosedependent manner. Induction of GM-CSF mRNA expression peaked 6 h after infection, declining gradually thereafter and returning to its basal levels at 72 h. Secretion of GM-CSF protein was also elevated by MTB infection. The increase in mRNA expression and protein secretion of GM-CSF caused by MTB was inhibited in cells treated with inhibitors of p38 MAPK, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK-1), and PI3-K. These results suggest that up-regulation of GM-CSF by MTB is mediated via the PI3-K/MEK1/p38 MAPK-associated signaling pathway. [BMB Reports 2013; 46(4): 213-218]

Abstract
Since Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin strain (BCG) fails to protect adults from pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), there is an urgent need for developing a new vaccine. In this study, we constructed a novel recombinant BCG strain (rBCG) expressing human granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and the 6 kDa early secretory antigenic target (ESAT6) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, named rBCG:GE (expressing GMCSF-ESAT6 complex), and evaluated the immunogenicity of the construct in BALB/c mice. Our results indicated that the rBCG:GE was able to induce higher titer of antibody than the conventional BCG, the rBCG:G (expressing GM-CSF) and the rBCG:E (expressing ESAT6). Moreover, the rBCG:GE also elicited a longer-lasting and stronger Th1 cellular immune responses than the other groups, which was confirmed by the incremental proliferation of splenocytes, the increased percentages of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells of spleen, the elevated level of interferon-γ in splenocyte culture after tuberculin-purified protein derivative stimulation, and the increased concentration of GM-CSF in serum. The data presented here suggested the possibility that the recombinant BCG:GE might be a good vaccine candidate to TB.

Abstract
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a hematopoietic growth factor and a proinflammatory cytokine. While GM-CSF is lacking in normal brain tissue, it is expressed under pathological conditions and correlates with the presence of dendritic cells (DC). However, the role of GM-CSF for the onset of immune responses in the brain is still unclear. To analyze the role of GM-CSF for the induction and functional activity of immune cells in the brain, we performed chronic intracerebroventricular administration of GM-CSF to the brains of adult mice. After GM-CSF administration, intracerebral leukocytes (ICL) were characterized by means of flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and an ex vivo functional assay. GM-CSF treatment significantly increased the number of leukocytes expressing high levels of CD45, indicative of peripheral, blood-derived cells. The infiltrating cells were preferentially DC of the myeloid lineage (CD45(high) CD11c+ CD11b+) with an activated phenotype characterized by upregulated expression of MHCII and the costimulatory ligand CD80. Furthermore, DC from GM-CSF treated mice were fully competent to activate naive allogeneic T cells in a mixed leukocyte reaction. In contrast, intracerebroventricular IFN-gamma administration stimulated MHCII expression on cells resembling resident microglia, but did not induce comparable presence of DC. Taken together, intracerebroventricular GM-CSF treatment results in high numbers of DC in the brain. Moreover, these GM-CSF-induced DC display an activated phenotype and exhibit the capacity to act as fully competent DC even without a further inflammatory stimulus.

Abstract
Based on the fact that aberrant overexpression of some growth factor receptors was observed in a variety of human cancer cells, a novel nonviral gene delivery system GE7, which contains a 16-amino-acid ligand for identifying EGF receptor was constructed for tumor-targeted gene therapy. Intravenous administration of GE7 system revealed that it has the ability to target beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) reporter gene into murine hepatoma (Hepa) cells. Owing to the limited antitumor effects elicited by a single-gene transfer, recent efforts to treat malignancy using combined gene therapy have been accomplished with varying degrees of success. In this study, the human cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor gene p21(WAF-1) and the murine cytokine gene granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) were used simultaneously for in vivo gene therapy through systemic injection of the EGF R targeted GE7/DNA complex into murine hepatoma-bearing mice. The results demonstrated that combined administration of p21(WAF-1) and GM-CSF could remarkably inhibit the growth of subcutaneously transplanted hepatoma Hepa cells, and significantly increase the survival rate of tumor-bearing mice. The activities of natural killer (NK) cells and specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) were clearly enhanced after combined gene therapy. In vitro experiments showed that p21(WAF-1) gene transfer exhibited a suppressive function on the growth of Hepa cells and the expression of H-2K(b) and B7-1 molecules on Hepa cells increased significantly after combined genes delivery. All these results suggested that the GE7 system was able to target therapeutic genes efficiently to cancer cells, which showed high EGF R expression. The cotransfer of p21(WAF-1) and GM-CSF genes apparently inhibited the growth of tumors through (a) the arrest of tumor cell growth and (b) the enhancement of systemic antitumor immunity.

Abstract
Oncolytic adenoviruses are being tested as biological cancer therapeutics. Ar6pAE2fF (E2F vector) contains the E2F-1 promoter to regulate the expression of the E1a gene in cells with a disregulated retinoblastoma pathway. Ar6pAE2fmGmF (E2F-GM vector) includes the murine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) transgene to enhance anti-tumor activity. Both vectors selectively killed human tumor cells in vitro. The E2F-GM vector expressed biologically active murine GM-CSF in vitro and GM-CSF was detected for several days in serum and tumor extracts following injections of established human xenograft tumors. In vivo, both vectors showed significant dose-dependent anti-tumor responses. The E2F-GM vector elicited greater efficacy compared to the E2F vector, demonstrating that GM-CSF enhanced the anti-tumor activity, even in immunodeficient nude mice. Histological analysis showed that both vectors induced necrosis and mononuclear cell infiltration, but only the E2F-GM vector resulted in eosinophil infiltration. Vector replication in vivo was demonstrated. The data showed that intratumoral injection of a GM-CSF-armed oncolytic vector induced potent anti-tumor responses in xenograft tumor models, likely as the result of both oncolytic vector activity and the induction of GM-CSF-mediated inflammation and innate immunity.

Abstract
Cellular and humoral immune responses induced following murine Chlamydia trachomatis infection confer almost sterile protection against homologous reinfection. On the other hand, immunization with inactivated organism induces little protective immunity in this model system. The underlying mechanism(s) that determines such divergent outcome remains unclear, but elucidating the mechanism will probably be important for chlamydial vaccine development. One of the distinct differences between the two forms of immunization is that chlamydia replication in epithelial cells causes the secretion of a variety of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, such as GM-CSF, that may mobilize and mature dendritic cells and thereby enhance the induction of protective immunity. Using a murine model of C. trachomatis mouse pneumonitis lung infection and intrapulmonary adenoviral GM-CSF transfection, we demonstrate that the expression of GM-CSF in the airway compartment significantly enhanced systemic Th1 cellular and local IgA immune responses following immunization with inactivated organisms. Importantly, immunized mice had significantly reduced growth of chlamydia and exhibited less severe pulmonary inflammation following challenge infection. The site of GM-CSF transfection proved important, since mice immunized with inactivated organisms after GM-CSF gene transfer by the i.p. route exhibited little protection against pulmonary challenge, although i.p. immunization generated significant levels of systemic Th1 immune responses. The obvious difference between i.p. and intrapulmonary immunization was the absence of lung IgA responses following i.p. vaccination. In aggregate, the findings demonstrate that the local cytokine environment is critical to the induction of protective immunity following chlamydial vaccination and that GM-CSF may be a useful adjuvant for a chlamydial vaccine.

Abstract
GM-CSF is critical for dendritic cell (DC) survival and differentiation in vitro. To study its effect on DC development and function in vivo, we used a gene transfer vector to transiently overexpress GM-CSF in mice. We found that up to 24% of splenocytes became CD11c+ and the number of DC increased up to 260-fold to 3 x 10(8) cells. DC numbers remained substantially elevated even 75 days after treatment. The DC population was either CD8alpha+CD4- or CD8alpha-CD4- but not CD8alpha+CD4+ or CD8alpha-CD4+. This differs substantially from subsets recruited in normal or Flt3 ligand-treated mice or using GM-CSF protein injections. GM-CSF-recruited DC secreted extremely high levels of TNF-alpha compared with minimal amounts in DC from normal or Flt3 ligand-treated mice. Recruited DC also produced elevated levels of IL-6 but almost no IFN-gamma. GM-CSF DC had robust immune function compared with controls. They had an increased rate of Ag capture and caused greater allogeneic and Ag-specific T cell stimulation. Furthermore, GM-CSF-recruited DC increased NK cell lytic activity after coculture. The enhanced T cell and NK cell immunostimulation by GM-CSF DC was in part dependent on their secretion of TNF-alpha. Our findings show that GM-CSF can have an important role in DC development and recruitment in vivo and has potential application to immunotherapy in recruiting massive numbers of DC with enhanced ability to activate effector cells.

Abstract
One of the major obstacles in current cancer gene therapy is the lack of a gene delivery system with high efficiency and targetability. In this paper, a nonviral gene delivery system GE7, which was designed to target EGF receptor (EGF R) overexpressed on the surface of cancer cel Is through an EGF R-binding oligopeptide (GE7), was used for in vivo gene therapy in a murine subcutaneous hepatoma model. It was demonstrated that the GE7 system could target the reporter gene beta-gal to EGF R-expressing hepatoma cells with high efficiency after in vitro transfection and in vivo peritumoral injection. To improve the therapeutic effect elicited by single gene transfer, human cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor gene p21WAF-1 and murine cytokine gene GM-CSFwere used simultaneously in peritumoral injection of the GE7/DNA polyplex. The results showed that combined gene transfer of p21WAF-1 and GM-CSF could inhibit the growth of pre-established tumor more effectively and prolong the survival time of hepatoma-bearing mice more significantly than the transfer of a single gene. Apoptosis in the tumor tissues were found when injected with the p21WAF1-DNA polyplex. Prominent inflammatory infiltration was observed in the tumor tissue transfected with the GM-CSF DNA polyplex. Our data demonstrate that the GE7 system-mediated, EGF R-targeted cotransfer of p21WAF-1 and GM-CSF genes exhibit more potent antitumor effect by inducing tumor cell apoptosis and inflammatory responses.
