Abstract
Cisplatin is chemotherapy used for solid tumor treatment like lung, bladder, head and neck, ovarian and testicular cancers. However, cisplatin-induced ototoxicity limits the utility of this agent in cancer patients, especially when dose escalations are needed. Ototoxicity is associated with cochlear cell death through DNA damage, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the consequent activation of caspase, glutamate excitotoxicity, inflammation, apoptosis and/or necrosis. Previous studies have demonstrated a role of CXC chemokines in cisplatin ototoxicity. In this study, we investigated the role of CXCL1, a cytokine which increased in the serum and cochlea by 24 h following cisplatin administration. Adult male Wistar rats treated with cisplatin demonstrated significant hearing loss, assessed by auditory brainstem responses (ABRs), hair cell loss and loss of ribbon synapse. Immunohistochemical studies evaluated the levels of CXCL1 along with increased presence of CD68 and CD45-positive immune cells in cochlea. Increases in CXCL1 was time-dependent in the spiral ganglion neurons and organ of Corti and was associated with progressive increases in CD45, CD68 and IBA1-positive immune cells. Trans-tympanic administration of SB225002, a chemical inhibitor of CXCR2 (receptor target for CXCL1) reduced immune cell migration, protected against cisplatin-induced hearing loss and preserved hair cell integrity. We show that SB225002 reduced the expression of CXCL1, NOX3, iNOS, TNF-α, IL-6 and COX-2. Similarly, knockdown of CXCR2 by trans-tympanic administration of CXCR2 siRNA protected against hearing loss and loss of outer hair cells and reduced ribbon synapses. In addition, SB225002 reduced the expression of inflammatory mediators induced by cisplatin. These results implicate the CXCL1 chemokine as an early player in cisplatin ototoxicity, possibly by initiating the immune cascade, and indicate that CXCR2 is a relevant target for treating cisplatin ototoxicity.

Abstract
Epithelial, connective tissue and immune cells contribute in various ways to the pathophysiology of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). However, data of their distribution in upper airway mucosa are sparse. We aimed to provide quantitative, purely informative data on the distribution of these cell lineages and their coexpression patterns, which might help identifying, e.g., cells in the epithelium undergoing through epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). For this purpose, we used immunofluorescence multichannel image cytometry (IMIC). We examined fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples (FFPE) of six patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and of three patients without CRS (controls). The direct-conjugated antibodies pancytokeratin, vimentin and CD45/CD18 were used for coexpression analysis in epithelial layer and lamina propria. Image acquisition and analysis were performed with TissueFAXS and StrataQuest, respectively. To distinguish positive from negative expression, a ratio between cell-specific immunostaining intensity and background was developed. Isotype controls were used as negative controls. Per patient, a 4.5-mm2 tissue area was scanned and a median of 14,875 cells was recognized. The most common cell types were cytokeratin-single-positive (26%), vimentin-single-positive (13%) and CD45/CD18-single-positive with CD45/CD18-vimentin-double-positive cells (29%). In the patients with CRS, CD45/CD18-single-positive cells were 3-6 times higher compared to the control patients. In the epithelial layer, cytokeratin-vimentin-double-positive EMT cells were observed 3-5 times higher in the patients with CRS than in the control patients. This study provided quantitative data for the distribution of crucial cell types in CRS. Future studies may focus on the distribution and coexpression patterns of different immune cells in CRS or even cancer tissue.

Abstract
Skin rash is a common adverse event associated with erlotinib therapy. In severe conditions, the rash could affect patients' QOL. If the rash occurrence can be predicted, erlotinib treatment failures can be prevented. We designed an in vivo study that applied erlotinib regimens resembling its clinical application to evaluate possible erlotinib-induced skin rash biomarkers for humans and simultaneously observe the effects of erlotinib discontinuation, followed with or without dose reduction, on rash development. Rats were divided into four groups: placebo, constant (erlotinib 35 mg/kg on d1-d21), intermittent (erlotinib 70 mg/kg on d1-d7 and d15-d21), and mimic (erlotinib 70 mg/kg on d1-d7 and erlotinib 35 mg/kg on d15-d21). Blood sampling was performed on d1, d8, d15, and d22. The samples were used to measure erlotinib concentrations, the level of hepatic and renal function markers, immune cell percentages, and immune cells' CD45 expression levels. Erlotinib 70 mg/kg generated high mean circulating erlotinib concentrations (>1800 ng/mL) that led to severe rashes. Erlotinib dose reduction following rash occurrence reduced circulating erlotinib concentration and rash severity. After the treatment, the escalation of neutrophil percentages and reduction of neutrophils' CD45 expression levels were observed, which were significantly correlated with the rash occurrence. This study is the first to show that erlotinib-induced skin rash may be affected by the reduction of neutrophils' CD45 expression levels, and this is a valuable finding to elucidate the erlotinib-induced skin rash formation mechanism.

Abstract
CD44 is a common leukocyte adhesion molecule expressed on the surface of various cells. Hyaluronan (HA), the natural ligand of CD44, is a simple repeated disaccharide with variable molecular mass that is widely distributed on cell surfaces and the connective tissue matrix. The binding of small molecular mass HA (SMM-HA, MW < 80 kDa) to CD44 on immune-related cells elicits cell proliferation, differentiation, and cytokine production. However, the effects and molecular basis of intermediate molecular mass HA (IMM-HA, MW ≈ 500 kDa)-CD44 interactions on polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) functions have not been elucidated. We hypothesised that IMM-HA would potentiate immune functions as well as SMM-HA. In the present study, we demonstrated IMM-HA and CD44 interactions enhanced normal PMN phagocytosis and IL-8 production compared to those with LPS or anti-CD45 treatment via F-actin cytoskeleton polymerization and subsequent ERK1/2- and p38-MAPK phosphorylation. Antibody-based inhibition of CD44 did not affect PMN function; however, F-actin aggregation was induced without MAPK phosphorylation. Enhanced PMN function via IMM-HA was determined to be CD44-dependent since this effect was abolished in DMSO-induced CD44(-) PMN-like cells obtained from HL-60 cells. In conclusion, we demonstrated that IMM-HA and CD44 interactions on PMNs potently elicit F-actin cytoskeleton polymerization and p38- and ERK1/2-MAPK phosphorylation to enhance PMN function.

Abstract
A selective phospholipase D (PLD) inhibitor 5-fluoro-2-indolyl des-chlorohalopemide (FIPI) inhibited the O(2)(-) generation and cell migration but not degranulation in formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-stimulated rat neutrophils. A novel benzyl indazole compound 2-benzyl-3-(4-hydroxymethylphenyl)indazole (CHS-111), which inhibited O(2)(-) generation and cell migration, also reduced the fMLP- but not phorbol ester-stimulated PLD activity (IC(50) 3.9±1.2μM). CHS-111 inhibited the interaction of PLD1 with ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) 6 and Ras homology (Rho) A, and reduced the membrane recruitment of RhoA in fMLP-stimulated cells but not in GTPγS-stimulated cell-free system. CHS-111 reduced the cellular levels of GTP-bound RhoA, membrane recruitment of Rho-associated protein kinase 1 and the downstream myosin light chain 2 phosphorylation, and attenuated the interaction between phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) and Arf6, whereas it only slightly inhibited the guanine nucleotide exchange activity of human Dbs (DH/PH) protein and did not affect the arfaptin binding to Arf6. CHS-111 inhibited the interaction of RhoA with Vav, the membrane association and the phosphorylation of Vav. CHS-111 had no effect on the phosphorylation of Src family kinases (SFK) but attenuated the interaction of Vav with Lck, Hck, Fgr and Lyn. CHS-111 also inhibited the interaction of PLD1 with protein kinase C (PKC) α, βI and βII isoenzymes, and the phosphorylation of PLD1. These results indicate that inhibition of fMLP-stimulated PLD activity by CHS-111 is attributable to the blockade of RhoA activation via the interference with SFK-mediated Vav activation, attenuation of the interaction of Arf6 with PLD1 and PIP5K, and the activation of Ca(2+)-dependent PKC in rat neutrophils.

Abstract
All mature hemopoietic lineage cells, with exclusion of platelets and mature erythrocytes, share the surface expression of a transmembrane phosphatase, the CD45 molecule. It is also present on hemopoietic stem cells and most leukemic clones and therefore presents as an appropriate target for immunotherapy with anti-CD45 antibodies. This short review details the biology of CD45 and its recent targeting for both treatment of malignant disorders and tolerance induction. In particular, the question of potential stem cell depletion for induction of central tolerance or depletion of malignant hemopoietic cells is addressed. Mechanisms underlying the effects downstream of CD45 binding to the cell surface are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) have been shown to independently predict survival in primary colorectal cancer, the prognostic implications of TIL in resectable colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM) have not been previously defined. This study examines the correlation between TIL numbers and survival following hepatic resection. METHODS We studied patients who survived <or=2 or >or=10 years following CRCLM resection. Immunohistochemistry was performed on tissue microarrays (TMAs) to determine the number of T cells within CRCLM. Correlation between TIL frequency and <or=2 or >or=10 year survival was determined while controlling for established prognostic factors. RESULTS Of 162 patients, 104 survived <or=2 years and 58 survived >or=10 years. Independent correlates of 10-year survival following CRCLM resection included a high number of CD8 T cells, a low number of CD4 T cells, and a clinical risk score of <or=2 (P < 0.001). Among 10-year survivors, 31% of patients had a high number of CD8 T cells compared with 8% for <or=2 year survivors (P < 0.01). Surprisingly, only 22% of 10-year survivors had a high number of CD4 T cells, in contrast to 69% of those who died within 2 years (P < 0.001). The combination of CD8 and CD4 T cell counts was a more powerful predictor of survival than either marker alone. CONCLUSIONS CRCLM T cell number is an independent correlate of long-term survival following liver resection. We conclude that CRCLM TIL analysis represents a potentially powerful prognostic tool which will require further validation prior to broad application.

Abstract
CD45 is a membrane tyrosine phosphatase that modulates the function of the hematopoietic cells. In vitro, agonist antibodies to CD45RO or CD45RB isoforms have been shown to suppress microglial activation, but whether microglia in vivo express these isoforms in HIV encephalitis (HIVE) is unknown. Brain sections from control and HIVE were immunostained for CD45 isoforms using exon‐specific antibodies (RA, RB, RC and RO). RA and RC were limited to rare lymphocytes, while RB expression was robust in microglia and inflammatory cells. RO was low in control microglia, but increased in HIVE. RO was also localized to macrophages and CD8+ T cells. Targeting CD45 in vivo with isoform‐specific antibodies remains a therapeutic option for neuroinflammatory diseases.

Abstract
CD45 transduces activation signals in inflammatory cells. We investigate CD45 expression on pancreatic acinar cells and examine its role in the inflammatory response which these cells have also shown under certain circumstances. Similar CD45 mRNA levels were found in acinar cells and leukocytes (positive control). Flow cytometric and immunohistochemical analysis showed a heterogeneous CD45 distribution on acinar cells. Activation of acinar cells by incubation with pancreatitis-associated ascitic fluid as evidencied by TNF-alpha production resulted in a decreased CD45 expression, suggesting that CD45 acts as a negative regulator of cytokine production. As a validation of this finding in vivo, a decrease in the acinar CD45 expression in parallel with an increased ability to produce TNF-alpha was found in rats with acute pancreatitis. Our data show that CD45 is constitutively expressed in acinar cells and suggest that it plays an important role in negatively regulating cytokine production.

Abstract
CD45, a transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase, regulates important cell functions. Its involvement in clearing tissues from dead or dying cells by polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) is unclear. Therefore, in this study the influence of exogenous factors (e.g., temperature and phagocytosis) on the CD45 expression on PMNs (in patients with lupus erythematosus (LE) vs. controls) was analysed by flow cytometry. The data showed a significant down-regulation of CD45 at 4 degrees C in controls, but not on LE-PMNs. In the presence of targets, CD45 was significantly decreased (P<0.00002). Substrate-dependent down-regulation was greater in the presence of nuclei than in the presence of dead cells(68.98%+/-2.28% vs. 47.89%+/-2.75%; P<0.002), and on LE-PMNs than on control-PMNs (45.93%+/-4.92% vs. 53.65%+/-2.2%). Target pretreatment with anti-dsDNA antibody-containing serum resulted in a lower CD45 expression compared to treatment with normal serum. This effect was more pronounced on PMNs of LE patients than on those of controls. Phagocytosis was inversely correlated with CD45 expression (P<0.0007). These data suggest that phagocytic clearance of cellular debris by PMNs may modulate the function of the effector cells, and that anti-dsDNA antibodies apparently enhance the phagocytic clearance.
