Abstract
It is widely known that diabetes mellitus negatively impacts both the innate immunity (the inflammatory response) and the acquired immunity (the humoral and cellular immune responses). Many patients with diabetes go on to develop chronic kidney disease, which will necessitate hemodialysis. In turn, long-term chronic hemodialysis generates an additional chronic inflammatory response and impairs acquired immunity. The purpose of this paper is to outline and compare the mechanisms that are the basis of the constant aggression towards self-components that affects patients with diabetes on hemodialysis, in order to find possible new therapeutic ways to improve the functionality of the immune system. Our study will take a detailed look at the mechanisms of endothelial alteration in diabetes and hemodialysis, at the mechanisms of inflammatory generation and signaling at different levels and also at the mechanisms of inflammation-induced insulin resistance. It will also discuss the alterations in leukocyte chemotaxis, antigen recognition and the dysfunctionalities in neutrophils and macrophages. Regarding acquired immunity, we will outline the behavioral alterations of T and B lymphocytes induced by diabetes mellitus and chronic hemodialysis.

Immune System Dysfunction and Inflammation in Hemodialysis Patients: Two Sides of the Same Coin. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11133759.

Abstract
Biocompatibility in hemodialysis (HD) has considerably improved in recent decades, but remains an open issue to be solved, appearing essential to reduce systemic inflammation and enhance patients’ clinical outcomes. Clotting prevention, reduction in complement and leukocyte activation, and improvement of antioxidant effect represent the main goals. This review aims to analyze the different pathways involved in HD patients, leading to immune system dysfunction and inflammation. In particular, we mostly review the evidence about thrombogenicity, which probably represents the most important characteristic of bio-incompatibility. Platelet activation is one of the first steps occurring in HD patients, determining several events causing chronic sub-clinical inflammation and immune dysfunction involvement. Moreover, oxidative stress processes, resulting from a loss of balance between pro-oxidant factors and antioxidant mechanisms, have been described, highlighting the link with inflammation. We updated both innate and acquired immune system dysfunctions and their close link with uremic toxins occurring in HD patients, with several consequences leading to increased mortality. The elucidation of the role of immune dysfunction and inflammation in HD patients would enhance not only the understanding of disease physiopathology, but also has the potential to provide new insights into the development of therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 causes coronavirus disease 2019, a pandemic which was originated from Wuhan city of China. The pandemic has affected millions of people worldwide. The pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 is characterized by a cytokine storm in the blood (cytokinemia) and tissues, especially the lungs. One of the major repercussions of this inflammatory process is the endothelial injury-causing intestinal bleeding, coagulopathy, and thromboembolism which result in various sudden and unexpected post-COVID complications including kidney failure, myocardial infarction, or multiorgan failure. In this review, we have summarized the immune responses, biochemical changes, and inflammatory responses in the human body after infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The increased amount of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and involvement of complement proteins in inflammatory reaction increase the risk of occurrence of disease.

Abstract
Adverse innate immune responses have been implicated in several disease processes, including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The monocyte subsets natural killer (NK) cells and natural killer T (NKT) cells are involved in innate immunity. Monocytes subsets are key in atherogenesis and the inflammatory cascade occurring in heart failure. Upregulated activity and counts of proinflammatory CD16+ monocyte subsets are associated with clinical indices of atherosclerosis, heart failure syndromes and CKD. Advanced CKD is a complex state of persistent systemic inflammation characterized by elevated expression of proinflammatory and pro-atherogenic CD14++CD16+ monocytes, which are associated with cardiovascular events and death both in the general population and among patients with CKD. Diminished NK cells and NKT cells counts and aberrant activity are observed in both coronary artery disease and end-stage kidney disease. However, evidence of the roles of NK cells and NKT cells in atherogenesis in advanced CKD is circumstantial and remains to be clarified. This review describes the available evidence regarding the roles of specific immune cell subsets in the pathogenesis of CVD in patients with CKD. Future research is expected to further uncover the links between CKD associated innate immune system dysregulation and accelerated CVD and will ideally be translated into therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Monocytes play an important role in both innate immunity and antigen presentation for specific cellular immune defense. In patients with chronic renal failure, as well as those treated with maintenance hemodialysis, these cells are largely dysregulated. There is a large body of literature on monocyte alterations in such patients. However, most of the publications report on small series, there is a vast spectrum of different methods and the heterogeneity of the data prevents any meta-analytic approach. Thus, a narrative review was performed to describe the current knowledge. Monocytes from patients with chronic renal failure differ from those of healthy individuals in the pattern of surface molecule expression, cytokine and mediator production, and function. If these findings can be summarized at all, they might be subsumed as showing chronic inflammation in resting cells together with limited activation upon immunologic challenge. The picture is complicated by the fact that monocytes fall into morphologically and functionally different populations and population shifts interact heavily with dysregulation of the individual cells. Severe complications of chronic renal failure such as impaired immune defense, inflammation, and atherosclerosis can be related to several aspects of monocyte dysfunction. Therefore, this review aims to provide an overview about the impairment and activation of monocytes by uremia and the resulting clinical consequences for renal failure patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a severe vitamin D deficiency and increasing epidemiological data suggesting that this deficiency may play a role in overall morbidity and mortality associated with CKD. It is known that vitamin D regulates the immune system, however, in dialysis patients this deficiency and the modulation of proinflammatory cells is unclear. Among these, monocytes arouse interest considering they constitutively express vitamin D receptors. AIM This study aimed the evaluation of monocytic profile in CKD patients according to vitamin D levels. METHODS Patients in hemodialysis (HD) were divided into two groups, regarding vitamin D levels: Group 1, vitamin D <26 ng/ml (n = 15) and Group 2, vitamin D ≥26 ng/ml (n = 18). Whole blood was collected aiming evaluation of (a) monocytic populations through CD14 and CD16 expression, (b) reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and (c) apoptosis. RESULTS We observed that in Group 1, when compared to Group 2, there was a significant increase in intermediate monocytes (CD14++ CD16 + ; 34.7 ± 31.6 vs. 12.1 ± 6.3; p = 0.006, respectively) and decrease in classical ones (CD14 ++ CD16 - ; 45.3 ± 31.8 vs. 70.4 ± 25.1; p = 0.017, respectively). There was no difference between groups regarding nonclassical monocytes (CD14 + CD16 ++ ), as well as to apoptosis and to ROS generation. CONCLUSION This study suggests that HD patients with lower vitamin D levels might have an intensified inflammatory outline as intermediate monocytes with an inflammatory pattern are increased in this population, when compared with patients with higher levels of vitamin D.

Abstract
Hemodialysis (HD) patients exhibit chronic inflammation and leukocyte activation. We investigated the surface-marker profile of monocytes by flow cytometry to assess the chronic effect of uremia and the acute effect of dialysis on their phenotypical and functional features in 16 healthy controls (CON) and 15 HD patients before and after a polysulfone-based dialysis session. Median fluorescence intensities were analyzed indicating expression of CD14, CD16, integrins (CD11b, CD18), chemokine receptors (CCR2, CX3CR1), scavenger receptors (CD36, CD163) and Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2). Before and after dialysis, HD patients harbour 0.9-fold less CD14++CD16- (Mo1), 1.8-fold more CD14++CD16+ (Mo2) and CD14+CD16++ (Mo3) monocytes than CON. HD patients' Mo1 showed elevated expression of CD11b (1.7-fold), CD18 (1.2-fold) and CD36 (2.1-fold), whereas CD163 expression was reduced in Mo1 and Mo2 (0.6-fold) compared to CON. These markers remained unaffected by dialysis. CX3CR1 expression on Mo2 and Mo3 was lower in HD patients before (0.8-fold) and further diminished after dialysis (0.6-fold). Stimulation of monocytes resulted in diminished responses in HD patients compared to CON. In conclusion, a systematic analysis of the expression of particular surface markers on distinct monocyte subsets may help to distinguish between uremia and/or dialysis induced effects and to evaluate the functionality of monocytes and biocompatibility of HD.

Application of FTIR-ATR Spectroscopy to Determine the Extent of Lipid Peroxidation in Plasma during Haemodialysis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2015; 2015:245607.

Abstract
During a haemodialysis (HD), because of the contact of blood with the surface of the dialyser, the immune system becomes activated and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are released into plasma. Particularly exposed to the ROS are lipids and proteins contained in plasma, which undergo peroxidation. The main breakdown product of oxidized lipids is the malondialdehyde (MDA). A common method for measuring the concentration of MDA is a thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) method. Despite the formation of MDA in plasma during HD, its concentration decreases because it is removed from the blood in the dialyser. Therefore, this research proposes the Fourier Transform Infrared Attenuated Total Reflectance (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy, which enables determination of primary peroxidation products. We examined the influence of the amount of hydrogen peroxide added to lipid suspension that was earlier extracted from plasma specimen on lipid peroxidation with use of TBARS and FTIR-ATR methods. Linear correlation between these methods was shown. The proposed method was effective during the evaluation of changes in the extent of lipid peroxidation in plasma during a haemodialysis in sheep. A measurement using the FTIR-ATR showed an increase in plasma lipid peroxidation after 15 and 240 minutes of treatment, while the TBARS concentration was respectively lower.

Abstract
Adipose tissue inflammation mediates the association between excessive body fat accumulation and several chronic inflammatory diseases. A high prevalence of obesity-associated adipose tissue inflammation was observed not only in patients with cardiovascular conditions but also in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, abdominal aortic aneurysm, or cardiorenal syndrome. In addition to excessive caloric intake, other triggers promote visceral adipose tissue inflammation followed by chronic, low-grade systemic inflammation. The infiltration and accumulation of immune cells in the inflamed and hypertrophied adipose tissue promote the production of inflammatory cytokines, contributing to target organ damages. This comorbidity seems to delimit subgroups of individuals with systemic adipose tissue inflammation and more severe chronic inflammatory diseases that are refractory to conventional treatment. This review highlights the association between adipose tissue immune response and the pathophysiology of visceral adiposity-related chronic inflammatory diseases, while suggesting several new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human blood monocytes are known to include subsets defined by the expression of CD14 and CD16 but otherwise are often assumed to be relatively homogeneous. However, we had observed additional heterogeneity that led us to a more extensive examination of monocytes. METHODS Blood samples from 200 healthy adults without known immunological abnormalities were examined by analysis with a hematology analyzer and by flow cytometry (FCM) to determine leukocyte differential counts, to identify subsets and to measure expression of monocyte-associated molecules. RESULTS The estimated cell counts of monocytes, neutrophils, total lymphocytes, and T cells all varied to a similar extent, that is, ±30-35%. The fractions of monocyte subsets defined by CD14 and CD16 or by CD163 expression also varied among individuals. FCM examinations showed that all the monocyte-associated molecules that were examined varied in expression in this increasing order-CD244, CD4, CD38, CD91, CD11b, toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), TIA-1, CD14 (on CD14(Br+) cells), CD86, CD80, HLA-DQ, CD33, and HLA-DR. CONCLUSIONS Human blood monocytes are heterogeneous among healthy adults with respect to cell counts, subsets, and the levels of expression of monocyte-associated molecules. An increase in the "non-classical" (CD14(Lo/Neg) /CD16(+) ) monocyte subset or in the expression of CD11b or TLR2 have known diagnostic/prognostic implications. CD244 and CD4 have well-defined functions on lymphocytes but perform unknown activities on monocytes although their expression appears more narrowly controlled. Together, these data suggest that monocytes should be more extensively examined in both clinical and basic contexts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was designed to improve identification of human blood monocytes by using antibodies to molecules that occur consistently on all stages of monocyte development and differentiation. METHODS We examined blood samples from 200 healthy adults without clinically diagnosed immunological abnormalities by flow cytometry (FCM) with multiple combinations of antibodies and with a hematology analyzer (Beckman LH750). RESULTS CD91 (α2 -macroglobulin receptor) was expressed only by monocytes and to a consistent level among subjects [mean median fluorescence intensity (MFI) = 16.2 ± 3.2]. Notably, only 85.7 ± 5.82% of the CD91(+) monocytes expressed high levels of the classical monocyte marker CD14, with some CD91(+) CD16(+) cells having negligible CD14, indicating that substantial FCM under-counts will occur when monocytes are identified by high CD14. CD33 (receptor for sialyl conjugates) was co-expressed with CD91 on monocytes but CD33 expression varied by nearly ten-fold among subjects (mean MFI = 17.4 ± 7.7). In comparison to FCM analyses, the hematology analyzer systematically over-counted monocytes and eosinophils while lymphocyte and neutrophil differential values generally agreed with FCM methods. CONCLUSIONS CD91 is a better marker to identify monocytes than CD14 or CD33. Furthermore, FCM (with anti-CD91) identifies monocytes better than a currently used clinical CBC instrument. Use of anti-CD91 together with anti-CD14 and anti-CD16 supports the identification of the diagnostically significant monocyte populations with variable expression of CD14 and CD16.

Abstract
We present a novel single-platform assay for determination of the absolute number of human blood monocyte subpopulations, i.e., the CD14(++)CD16(-) and the CD14(+)CD16(++) monocytes. A four-color combination of antibodies to CD14, CD16, CD45, and HLA-DR reduces the spill-over of natural killer cells and of granulocytes into the CD14(+)CD16(++) monocyte gate. For these CD14(+)CD16(++) monocytes, the intra-assay coefficient of variation (CV) was 4.1% and the inter-assay CV was 8.5%. Looking at a cohort of 40 donors aged 18-60 years, we found no age dependence. There was however an effect of gender in that females had lower CD14(+)CD16(++) monocytes (45.4 +/- 13.5 cells/microl) compared with males (59.1 +/- 20.3 cells/microl) (P < 0.02). Using this novel approach, we can confirm that exercise will lead to more than three-fold increase of the CD14(+)CD16(++) monocytes. Also, we show that therapy with low doses of glucocorticoids will deplete these cells. This robust single-platform assay may be a useful tool for monitoring the absolute number of monocyte subpopulations in health and disease.

Abstract
The immune defect in hemodialysis (HD) patients is associated with a monocyte dysfunction, including an increase in the production of proinflammatory cytokines. Blood membrane contact leads to an increase in cellular activation and sequestration into the capillary bed of the lung. The influence of the sequestration on the number of mature monocytes was studied by analyzing the fate of monocytes, particularly, the CD14+CD16+ subpopulation, during HD treatment. In thirty stable HD patients, the distinct cell populations were determined by differential blood counts and flow cytometry. Patients with diabetes or systemic vasculitis, those showing evidence of infectious complications or malignancy, or those taking immunosuppressive medications were excluded from the study. Cells from this study population were analyzed before the start, 30 min thereafter, and at the end of HD treatment, each time using a different dialyzer: hemophan, methylmethacrylate (PMMA), triacetate membrane, cuprophane/vitamin E, acrylonitrile, and sodium methallylsulfonate polymer (AN69). The CD14+CD16+ subset decreased at 30 min and remained suppressed for the course of dialysis. To examine whether currently used biocompatible membranes differ in their effect on the sequestration of monocyte subpopulations, temporal monocytic changes were comparatively analyzed during HD with a different dialyzer. The drop in the first 30 min until the end of HD treatment was significant (p<0.05), very uniform, and sharp in all patients, and was independent upon membrane type. The CD14+CD16+ monocyte subpopulation showed increased and longer margination from the blood circulation during HD. Given the fact that CD14+CD16+ monocytes represent a sensitive marker for inflammation or cellular activation, the depletion of these cells may offer an easily accessible parameter that is more sensitive than complement activation for biocompatibility studies on forthcoming, improved dialyzer membranes.

Abstract
The p38 alpha mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is essential in controlling the production of many proinflammatory cytokines, and its specific inhibitor can effectively block their production for treating human diseases. To effectively identify highly specific p38 alpha inhibitors in vivo, we developed an ex vivo mouse blood cell-based assay by flow cytometry to measure the intracellular p38 alpha kinase activation. We first attempted to identify the individual blood cell population in which the p38 alpha kinase pathway is highly expressed and activated. Based on CD11b, combined with Ly-6G cell surface expression, we identified two distinct subsets of non-neutrophilic myeloid cells, CD11b(Med)Ly-6G(-) and CD11b(Lo)Ly-6G(-), and characterized them as monocytes and natural killer (NK) cells, respectively. Then, we demonstrated that only monocytes, not NK cells, expressed a high level of p38 alpha kinase, which was rapidly activated by anisomycin stimulation as evidenced by the phosphorylation of both p38 and its substrate, MAPKAP-K2 (MK2). Finally, the p38 alpha kinase pathway activation in monocytes was fully inhibited by a highly selective p38 alpha kinase inhibitor dose-dependently in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, we demonstrated an effective method for separating blood monocytes from other cells and for detecting the expression level and activation of the p38 alpha kinase pathway in monocytes, which provided a new approach for the rapid identification of specific p38 alpha inhibitors.

Abstract
Blood monocyte subpopulations have been defined in man initially, and the two major types of monocytes are the CD14++ CD16- and the CD14+ CD16+ monocytes. These cells have been shown to exhibit distinct phenotype and function, and the CD14+ CD16+ were labeled proinflammatory based on higher expression of proinflammatory cytokines and higher potency in antigen presentation. The current review describes these properties, including the relationship to dendritic cells, and summarizes the host of publications about CD14+ CD16+ monocytes in inflammation and infectious disease in man, all of which suggest a crucial role of these cells in the disease processes. The review also covers the more recent description of homologues of these cells in other model species, which is expected to better define the role of monocyte subsets in disease.

Abstract
It is not known whether high convective transport may have a role in modulating the chronic inflammation of hemodialysis (HD) patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of on-line hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) on proinflammatory peripheral monocytes: Percentage of CD14+CD16+ cells and their telomere length and spontaneous or bacterial DNA-induced production of cytokines (TNF-alpha and IL-6). In a prospective, crossover study, 31 patients who were on high-flux HD (HF-HD) were evaluated. Patients underwent the following sequence of treatments (4 mo each): HF-HD (basal), OL-HDF (period 1), HF-HD (period 2), OL-HDF (period 3), and HF-HD (period 4). The dialysis characteristics were similar in the two modalities; the only difference was a higher convective transport in the OL-HDF than in the HF-HD. All patients who were on OL-HDF periods showed a significantly lower number of CD14+CD16+ cells than on HF-HD (18.5 +/- 2.3 basal versus 13.6 +/- 2.9 period 1 and 13.9 +/- 2.3 period 3; P = 0.001). By contrast, HF-HD restored the number of CD14+CD16+ cells to the basal values (19.2 +/- 2.8 and 18.6 +/- 1.4, periods 2 and 4, respectively; NS). During OL-HDF periods, the reduction of CD14+CD16+ was paralleled by a decreased number of short telomere cells. Spontaneous or bacterial DNA-induced production of cytokines (TNF-alpha and IL-6) was increased in HF-HD as compared with OL-HDF. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that as compared with HF-HD, OL-HDF markedly reduces the number of proinflammatory CD14+CD16+ cells and the production of TNF-alpha and IL-6. Future studies are needed to assess the possible therapeutic effect of convective transport on chronic inflammation that is associated with HD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CD163 is a monocyte/macrophage-restricted receptor involved in the clearance of hemoglobin-haptoglobin complexes and regulation of inflammatory processes. CD163 is shed from the cell surface and exists as a soluble form in plasma (sCD163). Monocyte CD163 and sCD163 are potential diagnostic tools in variety of disease states. METHODS We determined the relation between plasma sCD163 levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, membrane expressions of CD163, CD64, and CD14 on blood monocytes by flow cytometry, and monocyte counts in 129 random blood samples. RESULTS A strong inverse correlation was found between membrane CD163 expression and sCD163 levels (r = -0.65, P < 0.001). Monocyte CD163 expression and SCD163 levels did not correlate with the monocyte absolute count. CONCLUSIONS The inverse relation between monocyte surface CD163 expression and sCD163 levels in human blood suggests that plasma sCD163 is derived from circulating monocytes, in addition to an unknown component from tissue macrophages. The lack of correlation with the absolute monocyte number suggests that such a balance is driven by the functional state of monocytes, rather than simply by numerical changes in circulating cells. We propose that further clinical evaluations of CD163 as a diagnostic parameter should include simultaneous measurements of soluble and cell-bound forms of this antigen.

Abstract
An increase in circulating levels of IL-10 is believed to contribute to immunosuppression caused by major surgery. Cortisol and catecholamines have been shown to be important costimulatory factors for IL-10 secretion in humans. As thoracic epidural block (TEB) should blunt the perioperative increases in cortisol and catecholamines we investigated whether IL-10 secretion is influenced by TEB. Twenty-six patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass were randomized to receive either general anesthesia (GA) or GA plus TEB. Sensory and pain levels were measured to demonstrate clinical effectiveness. Plasma concentrations of epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol, IL-6 and IL-10 as well as monocyte surface expression of HLA-DR and their ex vivo capacity to release TNF-alpha after LPS stimulation were measured perioperatively. TEB was clinically effective and patients receiving TEB showed decreased circulating levels of IL-10. However, this decrease was independent of decreased levels of cortisol or epinephrine. No influence of TEB on IL-6 levels, monocyte capacity to ex vivo release TNF-alpha upon LPS stimulation or their expression of HLA-DR was found. In conclusion, high TEB reduces antiinflammatory immune suppressing mediators including IL-10 and stress mediators. At least in cardiac surgery patients the monocyte functional depression is not related to systemic release of IL-10 and the influence of cortisol or epinephrine is less important for early monocyte deactivation than what in vitro and animal models have suggested.
