Abstract
While the aetiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been linked to genetic susceptibility coupled with environmental factors, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Among the environmental factors, diet and the gut microbiota have been implicated as drivers of immune dysregulation in IBD. Indeed, epidemiologic studies have highlighted that the increase in incidence of IBD parallels the increase in dietary intake of omega-6 (n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and the change in balance of intake of n-6 to n-3 fatty acids. Experimental evidence suggests that the increase in n-6 PUFA intake increases cell membrane arachidonic acid, which is accompanied by the production of pro-inflammatory mediators as well as increased oxidative stress; together, this contributes to the development of chronic inflammation. However, it is also increasingly clear that some of the n-6 PUFA-derived mediators exert beneficial effects depending on the settings and timing of ingestion. In contrast to n-6, when n-3 PUFA eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid are incorporated into the cell membrane and are metabolized into less pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, as well as strong specialized pro-resolving mediators, which play a role in inflammation cessation. With a focus on preclinical models, we explore the relationship between dietary lipid, the gut microbiome, and intestinal inflammation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a product of cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway of arachidonic acid, exerts inhibitory impacts on dendritic cell (DC) activity to repress anti-tumor immune responses. Therefore, targeting COX during DC vaccine generation may enhance DC-mediated antitumor responses. We aimed to investigate the impacts of DC vaccine treated with celecoxib (CXB), a selective COX2 inhibitor, on some T cell-related parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS Breast cancer (BC) was induced in BALB/c mice, and then they received DC vaccine treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS-mDCs), LPS with a 5 μM dose of CXB (LPS/CXB5-mDCs) and LPS with a 10 μM dose of CXB (LPS/CXB10-mDCs). The frequency of splenic Th1 and Treg cells and amounts of IFN-γ, IL-12 and TGF-β production by splenocytes, as well as, the expression of Granzyme-B, T-bet and FOXP3 in tumors were determined using flow cytometry, ELISA, and real-time PCR, respectively. RESULTS Compared with untreated tumor group (T-control), treatment with LPS/CXB5-mDCs and LPS/CXB10-mDCs decreased tumor growth (P = 0.009 and P < 0.0001), escalated survival rate (P = 0.002), increased the frequency of splenic Th1 cells (P = 0.0872, and P = 0.0155), increased the IFN-γ (P = 0.0003 and P = 0.0061) and IL-12 (P = 0.001 and P = 0.0009) production by splenocytes, upregulated T-bet (P = 0.062 and P < 0.0001) and Granzyme-B (P = 0.0448 and P = 0.4485), whereas decreased the number of Treg cells (P = 0.0014, and P = 0.0219), reduced the amounts of TGF-β production by splenocytes (P = 0.0535 and P = 0.0169), and reduced the expression of FOXP3 (P = 0.0006 and P = 0.0057) in comparison with T-control group. CONCLUSIONS Our findings show that LPS/CXB-treated DC vaccine potently modulated antitumor immune responses in a mouse BC model.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid (ARA), an n-6 essential fatty acid, plays an important role in human and animal growth and development. The ARA presents in the membrane phospholipids can be released by phospholipase A2. These free arachidonic acid molecules are then used to produce eicosanoids through three different pathways. Previous studies have demonstrated that eicosanoids have a wide range of physiological functions. Although they are generally considered to be pro-inflammatory molecules, recent advances have elucidated they have an effect on innate immunity via regulating the development, and differentiation of innate immune cells and the function of the intestinal epithelial barrier. Here, we review eicosanoids generation in intestine and their role in intestinal innate immunity, focusing on intestinal epithelial barrier, innate immune cell in lamina propria (LP) and their crosstalk.

Abstract
Platelets can serve as "first responders" in cancer and metastasis. This is partly due to bioactive lipid metabolism that drives both platelet and cancer biology. The two primary eicosanoid metabolites that maintain platelet rapid response homeostasis are prostacyclin made by endothelial cells that inhibits platelet function, which is counterbalanced by thromboxane produced by platelets during activation, aggregation, and platelet recruitment. Both of these arachidonic acid metabolites are inherently unstable due to their chemical structure. Tumor cells by contrast predominantly make more chemically stable prostaglandin E2, which is the primary bioactive lipid associated with inflammation and oncogenesis. Pharmacological, clinical, and epidemiologic studies demonstrate that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which target cyclooxygenases, can help prevent cancer. Much of the molecular and biological impact of these drugs is generally accepted in the field. Cyclooxygenases catalyze the rate-limiting production of substrate used by all synthase molecules, including those that produce prostaglandins along with prostacyclin and thromboxane. Additional eicosanoid metabolites include lipoxygenases, leukotrienes, and resolvins that can also influence platelets, inflammation, and carcinogenesis. Our knowledge base and technology are now progressing toward identifying newer molecular and cellular interactions that are leading to revealing additional targets. This review endeavors to summarize new developments in the field.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) link innate and adaptive immunity. The microenvironment generated during the innate immunity affects DCs and the type of adaptive immunity generated. Lipid mediators are released early in inflammation and could modify the functional state of DCs. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) has a wide range of effects on macrophages and in the present study we investigated if it also affects DCs. Murine bone marrow-derived DCs were employed and it was found that stimulation of DCs with LTB4 (10 nM) increased the gene expression of the high affinity receptor BLT-1 but not of BLT-2. It also increased the co-stimulatory molecule CD86 expression but did not affect CD80 and CD40. LTB4-stimulated DCs acquired the capacity to present antigen to T lymphocytes, evidenced by antigen-specific proliferation of CD4+ lymphocytes in co-cultures of ovalbumin-loaded DCs with DO11.10 splenocytes. LTB4-stimulated DCs induced Treg proliferation and increased Th2 cytokine IL-13 in the co-cultures. Expression of transcription factor genes, Gata3 and Foxp3 (Th2 and Treg, respectively) were also found increased. However, the expression of Th1 transcription factor (Tbet) and Th17 (RorγT) were not affected. These results indicate that LTB4 affects DCs and modulates the type of adaptive immune response.

Protective role of 5-lipoxigenase during Leishmania infantum infection is associated with Th17 subset. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2014; 2014:264270.

Abstract
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a chronic and fatal disease caused by Leishmania infantum in Brazil. Leukocyte recruitment to infected tissue is a crucial event for the control of infections such as VL. Leucotriens are lipid mediators synthesized by 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) and they display a protective role against protozoan parasites by inducing several functions in leucocytes. We determined the role of 5-LO activity in parasite control, focusing on the inflammatory immune response against Leishmania infantum infection. LTB4 is released during in vitro infection. The genetic ablation of 5-LO promoted susceptibility in highly resistant mice strains, harboring more parasites into target organs. The susceptibility was related to the failure of neutrophil migration to the infectious foci. Investigating the neutrophil failure, there was a reduction of proinflammatory cytokines involved in the related Th17 axis released into the organs. Genetic ablation of 5-LO reduced the CD4(+)T cells producing IL-17, without interfering in Th1 subset. L. infantum failed to activate DC from 5-LO(-/-), showing reduced surface costimulatory molecule expression and proinflammatory cytokines involved in Th17 differentiation. BLT1 blockage with selective antagonist interferes with DC maturation and proinflammatory cytokines release. Thus, 5-LO activation coordinates the inflammatory immune response involved in the control of VL.

Abstract
Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine. It induces the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) catalyzed by cyclooxygenase (COX) and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase (m-PGES). Besides its pro-inflammatory properties, PGE2 also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting synthesis of 5-lipooxygenase (5-LO) products which are in themselves, pro-inflammatory mediators. Thus, inhibition of 5-LO products is beneficial in regulating immune-responses and pro-inflammatory processes. To investigate the hypothesis that IL-1β is responsible for the increase in the synthesis of PGE2 and in the reduction of 5-LO products, equine whole blood (EWB) was treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In vitro treatment of EWB with LPS resulted in increased expression of IL-1β while expression of 5-LO was suppressed. Quantification of eicosanoids using liquid-chromatography-mass spectrometry/multiple reaction monitoring (LC-MS/MRM) showed increased concentrations of prostaglandins and decreased 5-LO products in LPS-treated EWB. Pretreatment of EWB with IL-1β followed by calcium ionophore A23187 (CI) reduced synthesis of 5-LO products. However, pretreatment of EWB with COX-2 inhibitor (NS-398) or m-PGES-1 inhibitor (CAY 10526) and IL-1β followed with CI resulted in a significant (p<0.0001) increase in 5-LO products. Pretreatment of EWB with phospholipase C inhibitor (U73122) followed with LPS reduced PGE2 production but increased 5-LO products. The result of this study indicated that increased PGE2 production led to reduction in 5-LO products in LPS-treated EWB via IL-1β. However, other pathways, cytokines and mediators may be involved in inhibiting 5-LO products but the present study did not include those other potential pathways. Inhibition of 5-LO products by PGE2 in EWB may regulate the initiation and pathogenesis of inflammatory responses in the horse.

Abstract
There is a growing amount of evidence that obesity-induced low-grade inflammation is an important causative link between obesity and many of its associated pathologies such as type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis. In the quest to identify the triggers of obesity-associated inflammation of adipose tissue, our laboratory recently demonstrated that adipocytes can secrete leukotrienes, and that these pro-inflammatory lipid mediators contribute to obesity-associated inflammation and insulin resistance in mice. Together with other recent studies, our recent findings identify an important role for the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase and its products in the induction and resolution of adipose tissue inflammation. Therefore, pharmaceutical approaches that target this enzyme or its products should be considered as novel treatments aimed at preventing or resolving obesity-induced inflammation and its associated pathologies.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are central players in coordinating immune responses, both innate and adaptive. While the role of lipid mediators in the immune response has been the subject of many investigations, the precise role of prostaglandins has often been plagued by contradictory studies. In this study, we examined the role of PGE(2) on human DC function. Although studies have suggested that PGE(2) specifically plays a role in DC motility and cytokine release profile, the precise receptor usage and signaling pathways involved remain unclear. In this report we found that irrespective of the human donor, monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs) express three of the four PGE(2) receptor subtypes (EP(2-4)), although only EP(2) and EP(4) were active with respect to cytokine production. Using selective EP receptor antagonists and agonists, we demonstrate that PGE(2) coordinates control of IL-23 release (a promoter of Th17, an autoimmune associated T cell subset) in a dose-dependent manner by differential use of EP(2) and EP(4) receptors in LPS-activated MoDCs. This is in contrast to IL-12, which is dose dependently inhibited by PGE(2) through both receptor subtypes. Low concentrations (∼1-10nM) of PGE(2) promoted IL-23 production via EP(4) receptors, while at higher (>50 nM), but still physiologically relevant concentrations, IL-23 is suppressed by an EP(2) dependent mechanism. These results can be explained by differential regulation of the common subunit, IL-12p40, and IL-23p19, by EP(2) and EP(4). By these means, PGE(2) can act as a regulatory switch of immune responses depending on its concentration in the microenvironment. In addition, we believe these results may also explain why seemingly conflicting biological functions assigned to PGE(2) have been reported in the literature, as the concentration of ligand (PGE(2)) fundamentally alters the nature of the response. This finding also highlights the potential of designing therapeutics which differentially target these receptors.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenases and their metabolites are important regulators of inflammatory responses and play critical roles in regulating the differentiation of T helper cell subsets in inflammatory diseases. In this review, we highlight new information on regulation of T helper cell subsets by cyclooxygenases and their metabolites. Prostanoids influence cytokine production by both antigen presenting cells and T cells to regulate the differentiation of naïve CD4(+) T cells to Th1, Th2 and Th17 cell phenotypes. Cyclooxygenases and PGE2 generally exacerbate Th2 and Th17 phenotypes, while suppressing Th1 differentiation. Thus, cycloxygenases may play a critical role in diseases that involve immune cell dysfunction. Targeting of cyclooxygenases and their eicosanoid products may represent a new approach for treatment of inflammatory diseases, tumors and autoimmune disorders.

PGE2 is produced at high levels during inflammation, and its suppressive effects are caused by the ligation of the E prostanoid receptors EP2 and EP4, which results in the production of cyclic AMP. However, PGE2 also exhibits immunostimulatory properties due to binding to EP3, which results in decreased cAMP levels. The various guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) that are coupled to the different EP receptors account for the pleiotropic roles of PGE2 in different disease states. Here, we discuss the production of PGE2 and the actions of this prostanoid in phagocytes from different tissues, the relative contribution of PGE2 to the modulation of innate immune responses, and the novel therapeutic opportunities that can be used to control inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Leukotrienes (LTs) are potent proinflammatory mediators, and many important aspects of innate and adaptive immune responses are regulated by LTs. Key members of the LT synthesis pathway are overexpressed in adipose tissue (AT) during obesity, resulting in increased LT levels in this tissue. We observed that several mouse adipocyte cell lines and primary adipocytes from mice and humans both can secrete large amounts of LTs. Furthermore, this production increases with a high-fat diet (HFD) and positively correlates with adipocyte size. LTs produced by adipocytes play an important role in attracting macrophages and T cells in in vitro chemotaxis assays. Mice that are deficient for the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), and therefore lack LTs, exhibit a decrease in HFD-induced AT macrophage and T-cell infiltration and are partially protected from HFD-induced insulin resistance. Similarly, treatment of HFD-fed wild-type mice with the 5-LO inhibitor Zileuton also results in a reduction of AT macrophages and T cells, accompanied by a decrease in insulin resistance. Together, these findings suggest that LTs represent a novel target in the prevention or treatment of obesity-associated inflammation and insulin resistance.

Abstract
Propofol is an intravenous anesthetic that is widely used for anesthesia and sedation. Dendritic cells (DC) are one of the crucial immune cells that bridge innate and adaptive immunity, in which DC process antigens during innate immune responses to present them to naïve T-cells, leading to an establishment of adaptive immunity. Prostaglandin (PG)-E(2) may be secreted by DC into the microenvironment, considerably influencing DC phenotype and function, and thus determining the fate of adaptive immunity. Since propofol suppresses PGE(2) production in murine macrophages, the primary purpose of the present study was to determine whether propofol also suppresses PGE(2) production in DC. Assuming a positive finding of such suppression, we tested whether this also leads to alterations of interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-10 production and DC surface marker expression, both of which can be modulated by PGE(2). In bone marrow-derived DC, propofol significantly suppressed the PGE(2) production after lipopolysaccharide stimulation. Cyclo-oxygenase (COX) protein expression and arachidonic acid release were unaffected, while COX enzyme activity was significantly inhibited by propofol. The propofol-induced COX inhibition did not lead to the increased production of cysteinyl leukotrienes and leukotriene-B(4). Endogenous COX inhibition with propofol, as well as with the selective COX-2 inhibitor, NS-398, did not affect IL-12 and IL-10 production from DC. The surface expression of I-A(b) and CD40 on DC was not changed, while that of CD86 slightly increased, with both propofol and NS-398; expression of CD80 was not affected with propofol, but increased slightly with NS-398. Finally, endogenous COX inhibition with either propofol or NS-398 did not significantly affect the ability of DC to induce allogeneic T-cell proliferation. It is concluded that the intravenous anesthetic propofol suppresses COX enzyme activity in DC, with no consequences with respect to IL-12/IL-10 production and allogeneic T-cell proliferation, while minimal consequences were observed in surface molecule expression.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests an important role for cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in the pathogenesis of a wide range of malignancies. The protumorigenic properties of COX-2 are generally thought to be mediated by its product, PGE(2), which is shown to promote tumor spread and growth by multiple mechanisms but most importantly through modulation of the local immune response in the tumor. Pancreatic tumor cells produce various amounts of PGE(2), some of them being even deficient in COX enzymes or other PGE(2) synthases. Here we describe that, beside pancreatic tumor cells or stromal fibroblasts, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells can also produce PGE(2) upon coculture with pancreatic cancer cells. Stimulating of cellular cPLA2 within PBMCs by secreted factors, presumably sPLA2, from tumor cells appeared crucial, while the direct contact between PBMCs and PDACs seemed to be dispensable for this effect. Our data is emphasizing the complex interactions participating in the formation of the tolerogenic immune milieu within pancreatic tumors.

Abstract
Candida albicans produces an immunomodulatory oxylipin from arachidonic acid that is structurally identical to host prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂). In terms of host immune responses, PGE₂ can promote Th2 responses, which are non-protective against fungal infections. We investigated the effect of host or fungal PGE₂ on murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cell (DC) cytokine production, and the ability to immunize mice against systemic infection with C. albicans. We used GM-CSF to produce myeloid DCs (GM-DCs) and FLT-3L to enrich for plasmacytoid DCs (FL-DCs). In the presence of hyphae, PGE₂ promoted Th2 cytokine production and suppressed Th1 cytokine production. Immunization with yeast-pulsed DCs but not hyphae-pulsed DCs lead to a reduction in kidney fungal burden during systemic infection, which was most dramatic with FL-DCs. However, exposure to either host or fungal PGE₂ during antigenic stimulation abrogated the ability of yeast-pulsed DCs to protect against infection. The lack of protection was associated with a trend towards reduced Th1 cytokines and increased Th2 cytokines in the spleen. However, the pattern of protection did not completely match cytokine expression. Locally, in FL-DC pulsed mice, reduced Th1 and exacerbated Th2 and Th17 cytokines were only detected in the kidneys of mice that did not show reductions in fungal burden after vaccination. This indicates that host or fungal PGE₂ can shift adaptive responses in favor of the pathogen and that uncontrolled Th17 responses are detrimental during systemic infection.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have important immunosuppressive properties, but the mechanisms and soluble factors involved in these effects remain unclear. We have studied prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2) as a possible candidate implied in adipose tissue-derived MSCs (Ad-MSCs) immunosuppressive properties over dendritic cells and T lymphocytes, compared to bone marrow derived MSCs (BM-MSCs). We found that both MSCs inhibited the maturation of myeloid-DCs and plasmocytoid-DCs. High levels of PGE2 were detected in DCs/MSCs co-cultures. Its blockade with indomethacin (IDM) allowed plasmocytoid-DCs but not myeloid-DCs maturation. Additionally, high levels of PGE2 were found in co-cultures in which Ad-MSCs or BM-MSCs inhibited activated T cells proliferation and pro-inflammatory cytokines production. PGE2 blockade by IDM preserved T lymphocytes proliferation but did not restore the pro-inflammatory cytokines secretion. However, an increased expression of transcription factors and cytokines genes involved in the Th1/Th2 differentiation pathway was detected in the T cells co-cultured with Ad-MSCs, but not with BM-MSCs. In conclusion, we propose that PGE2 is a soluble factor mediating most of the immunosuppressive effects of Ad-MSCs and BM-MSCs over p-DCs maturation and activated T lymphocytes proliferation and cytokine secretion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Leukotrienes (LTs) are potent proinflammatory lipid mediators with key roles in the pathogenesis of asthma and inflammation. Recently, nanovesicles (exosomes), released from macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs), have become increasingly appreciated as messengers in immunity. OBJECTIVE We investigated whether exosomes from human macrophages, DCs, and plasma contain enzymes for LT biosynthesis and studied potential roles for exosomes in transcellular LT metabolism and granulocyte chemotaxis. METHODS The presence of LT pathway enzymes and LT biosynthesis in exosomes and cells was analyzed by Western blot, immunoelectron microscopy, and enzyme activity assays. Surface marker expression was evaluated by flow cytometry, and granulocyte migration was assessed in a multiwell chemotaxis system. RESULTS Exosomes from macrophages and DCs contain functional enzymes for LT biosynthesis. After incubation of intact cells with the LT biosynthesis intermediate LTA(4), LTB(4) was the major product of macrophages, whereas DCs primarily formed LTC(4). However, in exosomes from both cell types, LTC(4) was the predominant LTA(4) metabolite. Exosomal LTC(4) formation (per milligram protein) exceeded that of cells. In macrophages and DCs, TGF-β1 upregulated LTA(4) hydrolase along with increased LTB(4) formation also in the exosomes. Moreover, TGF-β1 modified the expression of surface marker proteins on cells and exosomes and reduced the exosome yield from macrophages. On Ca(2+)-ionophore and arachidonic acid stimulation, exosomes produced chemotactic eicosanoids and induced granulocyte migration. Interestingly, active LTA(4) hydrolase and LTC(4) synthase were present also in exosomes from human plasma. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that exosomes can contribute to inflammation by participation in LT biosynthesis and granulocyte recruitment.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA)-derived eicosanoids belong to a complex family of lipid mediators that regulate a wide variety of physiological responses and pathological processes. They are produced by various cell types through distinct enzymatic pathways and act on target cells via specific G-protein-coupled receptors. Although originally recognized for their capacity to elicit biological responses such as vascular homeostasis, protection of the gastric mucosa and platelet aggregation, eicosanoids are now understood to regulate immunopathological processes ranging from inflammatory responses to chronic tissue remodelling, cancer, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune disorders. Here, we review the major properties of eicosanoids and their expanding roles in biology and medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a potent immune modulator and known to suppress both tumour antigen-specific helper T (TH1) cells and the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). We hypothesised that a combination of the cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) selective inhibitor celecoxib and intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), an effective tumour immunoprophylaxis and ablative therapy for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, would be more effective than BCG alone. METHODS We assessed urinary levels of PGE2 in humans receiving BCG and in a murine model of urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC). The cytokine response to BCG plus celecoxib was assessed in murine dendritic cells (DCs) in vitro and tumour ablation was assessed in an orthotopic MBT2 murine bladder cancer model. RESULTS Administration of intravesical BCG resulted in elevated urinary PGE2 levels in patients with high-grade superficial UCC and in a mouse model of UCC. In vitro, activation of DCs with BCG stimulated COX-2 up-regulation and release of the archetypal tolerogenic factors, PGE2 and interleukin 10. In a superficial mouse model of UCC, combination of celecoxib and intravesical BCG therapy resulted in increased tumour infiltration of CD4+ T cells and improved efficacy when compared to BCG alone. Further, celecoxib demonstrated marked antitumour efficacy when administered in the absence of BCG immunotherapy. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that a combination strategy involving BCG immunotherapy and celecoxib may be more therapeutically beneficial than stand-alone intravesical therapy.

Abstract
In this study the effects of different in vitro conditioning with transforming growth factor (TGF) beta1 on human monocyte-derived DC maturation (hMo-DC) were investigated. hMo-DC differentiated in the presence of physiologically relevant concentrations of TGFbeta1 (2 ng/ml) failed to undergo complete maturation despite adequate stimulation with LPS or LPS+IFNgamma. These hMo-DC did not produce IL-12p70 or PGE2, and showed decreased IL-10 and IL-18 production and HLA-DR expression. However, the expression of these molecules, except for IL-12p70, was not significantly affected in hMo-DC differentiated in the presence of lower concentrations of TGFbeta1 (0.2 and 0.02 ng/ml). Exposure of hMo-DC to TGFbeta1 (2 ng/ml) after they had completed differentiation had minimal effects. Thus, the functional response of hMo-DC to LPS or LPS+IFNgamma depended on the stage of hMo-DC differentiation at which cells were first exposed to TGFbeta1 and on the concentration of TGFbeta1. These results suggest that in the in vivo micro-environment, the concentrations and the timing of monocyte exposure to TGFbeta1 may be crucial in the differentiation of DC toward more or less mature phenotypes, and this may have important implications for DC functions. The decrease in T-cell proliferation and a small increase in IL-5 production by T cells co-cultured with hMo-DC that had been treated with TGFbeta1, suggest the possibility that in vivo such DC may provide chronic, but incomplete signals to T cells, and this could be a potential mechanism underlying polarisation of T cells towards anergy.

Abstract
The effects of dietary lipids on the abundance of dendritic cells in adipose tissue in anatomically defined relationships to chronically inflamed lymph nodes were investigated in mature male rats fed plain chow or chow plus 20 % sunflower-seed or fish oil. The popliteal lymph nodes were stimulated by local subcutaneous injection of 20 μg lipopolysaccharide to both hindlegs three times/week for 2 weeks. The masses of the major adipose depots and the numbers of dendritic cells emerging from perinodal adipose tissue and samples 5 and 10 mm from the popliteal lymph nodes were measured, and those from omental and mesenteric adipose tissue around and remote from lymphoid tissue, and mesenteric and popliteal lymph nodes. Dendritic cells were most numerous in the perinodal adipose tissue, with the corresponding ‘remote’ samples containing 25–50 % fewer such cells under all conditions studied. Dietary sunflower-seed oil increased the numbers of dendritic cells by about 17 % in all adipose samples and fish oil reduced the numbers in perinodal tissue by about 5 %. The fish-oil diet diminished responses of the intra-abdominal adipose depots to local stimulation of the popliteal node. Correlations in dendritic cell numbers were stronger between perinodal samples from different depots than between remote and perinodal samples from the same depot and after the sunflower-seed-oil diet compared with fish oil. These data show that dietary lipids modulate the number of dendritic cells in lymphoid tissue-containing adipose depots and support the hypothesis that perinodal adipose tissue interacts locally with lymphoid cells.

Abstract
Leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) and cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) are known as potent mediators of inflammation, whereas their role in the regulation of adaptive immunity remains poorly characterized. Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialized antigen-presenting cells, uniquely capable to initiate primary immune responses. We have found that zymosan, but not lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulates murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BM-DCs) to produce large amounts of CysLTs and LTB(4) from endogenous substrates. A selective inhibitor of leukotriene synthesis MK886 as well as an antagonist of the high affinity LTB(4) receptor (BLT(1)) U-75302 slightly inhibited zymosan-, but not LPS-stimulated interleukin (IL)-10 release from BM-DCs. In contrast, U-75302 increased zymosan-stimulated release of IL-12 p40 by approximately 23%. Pre-treatment with transforming growth factor-beta1 enhanced both stimulated leukotriene synthesis and the inhibitory effect of U-75302 and MK886 on IL-10 release from DCs. Consistent with the effects of leukotriene antagonists, exogenous LTB(4) enhanced LPS-stimulated IL-10 release by approximately 39% and inhibited IL-12 p40 release by approximately 22%. Both effects were mediated by the BLT(1) receptor. Ligands of the high affinity CysLTs receptor (CysLT(1)), MK-571 and LTD(4) had little or no effect on cytokine release. Agonists of the nuclear LTB(4) receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha, 8(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid, inhibited release of both IL-12 p40 and IL-10. Our results indicate that both autocrine and paracrine leukotrienes may modulate cytokine release from DCs, in a manner that is consistent with previously reported T helper 2-polarizing effects of leukotrienes.

Abstract
Lipids, in addition to serving as fuel stores and structural components of cell membranes, act as effectors and second messengers in a variety of biological processes including those associated with the immune system. These lipid mediators and regulators differ in structural composition and exert a diverse array of effects on cellular functional activities including those linked to homeostasis, immune responsiveness, and inflammation. They function as intercellular mediators and at the intracellular level act as critical conduits of external stimuli in signal transduction cascades. Lipid derived messengers and their receptors also may interact with other signaling molecules. Exogenous compounds such as cannabinoids share functionally relevant receptor binding domains with those for endogenous lipid signaling ligands and have the potential to alter transductional cascades linked to immune functional activities.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells and populate many tissues where they may participate in inflammatory reactions. The infiltration of polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNLs) into tissues is a prominent feature of inflammation. The mechanisms of PMNL recruitment depend on chemotactic factors and adhesion molecules expressed on endothelial cells. The aim of the present study was to determine whether DCs participate in the early recruitment of PMNLs. Dendritic cells derived from peripheral blood monocytes were used for this study. PMNLs incubated with culture supernatant (CS) from untreated or from tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-treated (1 hr, 100 U/ml, 37 degrees ) monocyte-derived DCs (moDCs) had increased surface expression of both CD11b and CD18. Moreover, both untreated and TNF-alpha-treated moDCs induced PMNL chemotaxis. By blocking CXCL8, CXCL5, CXCL7 and Pan GRO (CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3), we observed that CXCL8/interleukin-8 might be the chemokine that induced the PMNL chemotactic activity in the CS of untreated and TNF-alpha-treated moDC. Furthermore, we investigated the regulation of CXCL8 production in moDCs by adhesion molecule engagement. Our data demonstrated that CD31, CD18, CD29 and CD49d participated in the adhesion of immature moDCs to endothelium. Moreover, engagement of domains 1-3 of CD31, but not of CD29 or CD18, decreased the production of CXCL8 by immature but not mature moDCs (which display lower CD31 levels than immature moDCs). Overall, these results suggest that DCs not only trigger a specific immune response, but also the innate immune response by recruiting PMNLs. Furthermore, our results also suggest that CXCL8 production by immature DCs might be regulated by signalling through CD31 during their migration through the vascular endothelium.

Abstract
Following lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulation of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) macrophage-like SHK-1 cells, prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) exhibited dose-dependent inhibition of the antigen presenting molecules major histocompatability class I and II and the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 beta gene expression. Prostaglandin E(2) was found to be stimulatory towards cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression at higher concentrations (1 x 10(-6) and 1 x 10(-8)M) and inhibitory at lower concentrations (1 x 10(-10) and 1 x 10(-12)M) after 4h exposure. After 24h exposure, however, LPS-induced COX-2 expression decreased and was completely inhibited by all PGE(2) concentrations (1 x 10(-6)-1 x 10(-10)M). Incubation of SHK-1 cells with LPS alone had no effect on tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)-like gene or transforming growth factor beta-like gene expression after 4h, however, LPS and PGE(2) showed a synergistic effect on TNFalpha-like gene expression after 24h. This study provides evidence for the existence of a PGE(2)-mediated negative feedback mechanism in the control of PGs through down-regulation of COX-2, as well as for inflammatory responses by the down-regulation of both COX-2 and IL-1 beta. The differential regulation of immune-related genes under these conditions further demonstrates the usefulness of the SHK-1 cell line for studying aspects of salmonid immunology.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) act as APCs in the airway and play a critical role in allergy. Cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs) synthesized from arachidonic acid are primary mediators of immediate asthmatic reaction. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of cysLTs on Dermatophagoides farinae (Der f)-pulsed mouse myeloid DCs in inducing allergic airway inflammation in vitro and in vivo. Control DC (medium-pulsed), Der f-pulsed DC, cysLT-pulsed DC, Der f- and cysLT-pulsed DC, and Der f-pulsed and cysLT receptor antagonist (LTRA)-treated DC were prepared from murine bone marrow, and the production of cytokines ws compared. Subsequently, these DCs were intranasally instilled into another group of naive mice, followed by intranasal Der f challenge to induce allergic airway inflammation in vivo. Der f-pulsed DC produced significantly higher amounts of IL-10 and IL-12 compared with control DC. Der f- and cysLT-pulsed DC further increased IL-10 production compared with Der f-pulsed DC. In contrast, treatment of Der f-pulsed DC with LTRA increased IL-12 and decreased IL-10. Intranasal instillation of Der f-pulsed DC resulted in airway eosinophilia associated with a significant rise in IL-5 levels in the airway compared with control DC. Pulmonary eosinophilia and excess IL-5 were further enhanced in Der f- and cysLT-pulsed DC-harboring mice. In contrast, Der f-pulsed and LTRA-treated DC significantly inhibited airway eosinophilia, reduced IL-5, and increased IFN-gamma in the airway. Our results suggest that cysLTs play an important role in the development of allergic airway inflammation by regulating the immunomodulatory functions of DCs.

Abstract
5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) pathway is the major source of potent
proinflammatory leukotrienes (LTs) issued from the metabolism of
arachidonic acid (AA), and best known for their roles in the
pathogenesis of asthma. These lipid mediators are mainly released
from myeloid cells and may act as physiological autocrine and
paracrine signalling molecules, and play a central role in
regulating the interaction between innate and adaptive immunity.
The biological actions of LTs including their immunoregulatory
and proinflammatory effects are mediated through extracellular
specific G-protein-coupled receptors. Despite their role in
inflammatory cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages, LTs may
have important effects on dendritic cells (DC)-mediated adaptive
immunity. Several lines of evidence show that DC not only are
important source of LTs, but also become targets of their actions
by producing other lipid mediators and proinflammatory molecules.
This review focuses on advances in 5-LO pathway biology, the
production of LTs from DC and their role on various cells of
immune system and in adaptive immunity.

Abstract
We have reported previously that PGE(2) inhibits dendritic cells (DC) functions. Because E prostanoid receptor (EPR) subtypes involved in this action are unknown, expression and functions of these receptors were examined in DC. Western blot and flow cytometry analyses showed that all EPRs were coexpressed in DC. In a dose-dependent manner, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) enhanced EP(2)R/EP(4)R but not EP(1)R/EP(3)R expressions. NS-398, a cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-selective inhibitor, suppressed LPS-enhanced EP(2)R/EP(4)R expression, suggesting that COX-2-issued prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) modulates DC function through stimulation of specific EPR subtypes. Using selective agonists, we found that butaprost, an EP(2)R agonist, and PGE(1) alcohol, an EP(2)R and EP(2)R/EP(4)R agonist, inhibited major histocompatibility complex class II expression and enhanced interleukin-10 production from DC. However, no effect was observed with sulprostone and 17-phenyl-omega-trinor-PGE(2), selective agonists for EP(1)R and EP(1)R/EP(3)R, respectively. Treatment of DC with dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), an analog of cAMP, mimics PGE(2)-induced, inhibitory effects. Taken together, our data demonstrate that EP(2)R/EP(4)R are efficient for mediating PGE(2)-induced modulation of DC functions.
