Abstract
Inflammation drives the pathology of many neurological diseases. d-mannose has been found to exert an antiinflammatory effect in peripheral diseases, but its effects on neuroinflammation and inflammatory cells in the central nervous system have not been studied. We aimed to determine the effects of d-mannose on key macrophage/microglial functions-oxidative stress and phagocytosis. In murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), we found d-mannose improved EAE symptoms compared to phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)-control mice, while other monosaccharides did not. Multiagent molecular MRI performed to assess oxidative stress (targeting myeloperoxidase [MPO] using MPO-bis-5-hydroxytryptamide diethylenetriaminepentaacetate gadolinium [Gd]) and phagocytosis (using cross-linked iron oxide [CLIO] nanoparticles) in vivo revealed that d-mannose-treated mice had smaller total MPO-Gd+ areas than those of PBS-control mice, consistent with decreased MPO-mediated oxidative stress. Interestingly, d-mannose-treated mice exhibited markedly smaller CLIO+ areas and much less T2 shortening effect in the CLIO+ lesions compared to PBS-control mice, revealing that d-mannose partially blocked phagocytosis. In vitro experiments with different monosaccharides further confirmed that only d-mannose treatment blocked macrophage phagocytosis in a dose-dependent manner. As phagocytosis of myelin debris has been known to increase inflammation, decreasing phagocytosis could result in decreased activation of proinflammatory macrophages. Indeed, compared to PBS-control EAE mice, d-mannose-treated EAE mice exhibited significantly fewer infiltrating macrophages/activated microglia, among which proinflammatory macrophages/microglia were greatly reduced while antiinflammatory macrophages/microglia increased. By uncovering that d-mannose diminishes the proinflammatory response and boosts the antiinflammatory response, our findings suggest that d-mannose, an over-the-counter supplement with a high safety profile, may be a low-cost treatment option for neuroinflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
The protozoan Entamoeba histolytica is the etiological agent of amoebiasis, which can spread to the liver and form amoebic liver abscesses. Histological studies conducted with resistant and susceptible models of amoebic liver abscesses (ALAs) have established that neutrophils are the first cells to contact invasive amoebae at the lesion site. Myeloperoxidase is the most abundant enzyme secreted by neutrophils. It uses hydrogen peroxide secreted by the same cells to oxidize chloride ions and produce hypochlorous acid, which is the most efficient microbicidal system of neutrophils. In a previous report, our group demonstrated that myeloperoxidase presents amoebicidal activity in vitro. The aim of the current contribution was to analyze in vivo the role of myeloperoxidase in a susceptible (hamsters) and resistant (Balb/c mice) animal models of ALAs. In liver samples of hamsters and mice inoculated intraportally with Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites, the number of neutrophils in ALAs was determined by enzymatic activity. The presence of myeloperoxidase was observed by staining, and its expression and activity were quantified in situ. A significant difference existed between the two animal models in the number of neutrophils and the expression and activity of myeloperoxidase, which may explain the distinct evolution of amoebic liver abscesses. Hamsters and mice were treated with an MPO inhibitor (4-aminobenzoic acid hydrazide). Hamsters treated with ABAH showed no significant differences in the percentage of lesions or in the percentage of amoebae damaged compared with the untreated hamsters. ABAH treated mice versus untreated mice showed larger abscesses and a decreased percentage of damaged amoebae in these lesion at all stages of evolution. Further studies are needed to elucidate the host and amoebic mechanisms involved in the adequate or inadequate activation and modulation of myeloperoxidase.

Abstract
Host invasion by Entamoeba histolytica, the pathogenic agent of amebiasis, can lead to the development of amebic liver abscess (ALA). Due to the difficulty of exploring host and amebic factors involved in the pathogenesis of ALA in humans, most studies have been conducted with animal models (e.g., mice, gerbils, and hamsters). Histopathological findings reveal that the chronic phase of ALA in humans corresponds to lytic or liquefactive necrosis, whereas in rodent models there is granulomatous inflammation. However, the use of animal models has provided important information on molecules and mechanisms of the host/parasite interaction. Hence, the present review discusses the possible role of neutrophils in the effector immune response in ALA in rodents. Properly activated neutrophils are probably successful in eliminating amebas through oxidative and non-oxidative mechanisms, including neutrophil degranulation, the generation of free radicals (O2−, H2O2, HOCl) and peroxynitrite, the activation of NADPH-oxidase and myeloperoxidase (MPO) enzymes, and the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). On the other hand, if amebas are not eliminated in the early stages of infection, they trigger a prolonged and exaggerated inflammatory response that apparently causes ALAs. Genetic differences in animals and humans are likely to be key to a successful host immune response.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE The heme-enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO) is one of the major neutrophil bactericidal proteins and is stored in large amounts inside azurophilic granules of neutrophils. Upon cell activation, MPO is released and extracellular MPO has been detected in a wide range of acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. Recent ADVANCES AND CRITICAL ISSUES: Apart from its role during infection, MPO has emerged as a critical modulator of inflammation throughout the last decade and is currently discussed in the initiation and propagation of cardiovascular diseases. MPO-derived oxidants (e.g., hypochlorous acid) interfere with various cell functions and contribute to tissue injury. Recent data also suggest that MPO itself exerts proinflammatory properties independent of its catalytic activity. Despite advances in unraveling the complex action of MPO and MPO-derived oxidants, further research is warranted to determine the precise nature and biological role of MPO in inflammation. FUTURE DIRECTIONS The identification of MPO as a central player in inflammation renders this enzyme an attractive prognostic biomarker and a potential target for therapeutic interventions. A better understanding of the (patho-) physiology of MPO is essential for the development of successful treatment strategies in acute and chronic inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate myeloperoxidase (MPO) as a newer therapeutic target and bis-5-hydroxytryptamide-diethylenetriaminepentaacetate-gadolinium (Gd) (MPO-Gd) as an imaging biomarker for demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) by using experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a murine model of MS. MATERIALS AND METHODS Animal experiments were approved by the institutional animal care committee. EAE was induced in SJL mice by using proteolipid protein (PLP), and mice were treated with either 4-aminobenzoic acid hydrazide (ABAH), 40 mg/kg injected intraperitoneally, an irreversible inhibitor of MPO, or saline as control, and followed up to day 40 after induction. In another group of SJL mice, induction was performed without PLP as shams. The mice were imaged by using MPO-Gd to track changes in MPO activity noninvasively. Imaging results were corroborated by enzymatic assays, flow cytometry, and histopathologic analyses. Significance was computed by using the t test or Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS There was a 2.5-fold increase in myeloid cell infiltration in the brain (P = .026), with a concomitant increase in brain MPO level (P = .0087). Inhibiting MPO activity with ABAH resulted in decrease in MPO-Gd-positive lesion volume (P = .012), number (P = .009), and enhancement intensity (P = .03) at MR imaging, reflecting lower local MPO activity (P = .03), compared with controls. MPO inhibition was accompanied by decreased demyelination (P = .01) and lower inflammatory cell recruitment in the brain (P < .0001), suggesting a central MPO role in inflammatory demyelination. Clinically, MPO inhibition significantly reduced the severity of clinical symptoms (P = .0001) and improved survival (P = .0051) in mice with EAE. CONCLUSION MPO may be a key mediator of myeloid inflammation and tissue damage in EAE. Therefore, MPO could represent a promising therapeutic target, as well as an imaging biomarker, for demyelinating diseases and potentially for other diseases in which MPO is implicated.

Abstract
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) are well-recognized regulators of hematopoiesis and have an established role as growth factors in clinical practice. G-CSF and GM-CSF regulate myeloid cell production, differentiation and activation, and might also be important for driving inflammatory responses. Inappropriate engagement of this pathway could be a critical amplification mechanism when maladaptive immune responses predispose to autoimmunity and sterile tissue inflammation. We postulate that antagonism of G-CSF or GM-CSF could represent a novel therapeutic approach for a variety of autoimmune-mediated inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a heme-containing peroxidase abundantly expressed in neutrophils and to a lesser extent in monocytes. Enzymatically active MPO, together with hydrogen peroxide and chloride, produces the powerful oxidant hypochlorous acid and is a key contributor to the oxygen-dependent microbicidal activity of phagocytes. In addition, excessive generation of MPO-derived oxidants has been linked to tissue damage in many diseases, especially those characterized by acute or chronic inflammation. It has become increasingly clear that MPO exerts effects that are beyond its oxidative properties. These properties of MPO are, in many cases, independent of its catalytic activity and affect various processes involved in cell signaling and cell-cell interactions and are, as such, capable of modulating inflammatory responses. Given these diverse effects, an increased interest has emerged in the role of MPO and its downstream products in a wide range of inflammatory diseases. In this article, our knowledge pertaining to the biologic role of MPO and its downstream effects and mechanisms of action in health and disease is reviewed and discussed.

Abstract
Cancer is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Analysis of epidemiological data has revealed a negative relationship between allergic conditions and cancer incidence. This study addresses the effects of chronic antigen ingestion by sensitized mice (allergy) on Ehrlich tumor growth in mouse footpad. Mice were sensitized (allergic) or not (sham) with ovalbumin and challenged orally with egg white solution. After one week of oral challenge, all mice were inoculated with experimental Ehrlich tumor (EET) cells in the footpad, and tumor growth was evaluated for 21 days. A decrease in tumor growth occurred, as assessed by paw thickness in the allergic group, which was associated with smaller areas of necrosis, reduced infiltration of neutrophils, and reduced levels of IFN-gamma, IL-4, and IL-10. Although, the tumor proliferation rate was similar in both groups, an increase in apoptosis occurred in allergic mice. In conclusion, analysis of the data obtained allows us to suggest that a concomitant allergic condition would reduce tumor progression through increased tumor cell apoptosis, accompanied by reduced areas of necrosis at the tumor site. Indeed, such findings suggested a possible mechanism for the reduced cancer incidence observed in allergic individuals.

Abstract
The role of inflammation in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis has recently come under increased scrutiny. Associated with these inflammatory responses are tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), both believed to be derived from brain microglia. In addition to the above, the presence of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in these diseased brains has been reported by a number of investigators. However, the possible role of MPO and enzymatically inactive MPO (iMPO) as the "choreographers" of the destruction done by TNF-alpha and ROS is not generally recognized. Previously, our laboratory has reported that MPO/iMPO enhance macrophage generation of ROS and expression of proinflammatory cytokine genes as well as gene products. Recent studies in our laboratory indicate that the same response occurs with microglia. A paradigm is presented for the perpetuation of inflammation associated with neurodegenerative diseases. This model describes the unrecognized consequences of the stimulation of microglia by MPO or iMPO. Both MPO and iMPO and/or its receptor may represent new therapeutic targets for the treatment of these diseases.

Abstract
The extracellular compartments of most biological tissues are significantly less well protected against oxidative damage than intracellular sites and there is considerable evidence for such compartments being subject to a greater oxidative stress and an altered redox balance. However, with some notable exceptions (e.g., plasma and lung lining fluid) oxidative damage within these compartments has been relatively neglected and is poorly understood. In particular information on the nature and consequences of damage to extracellular matrix is lacking despite the growing realization that changes in matrix structure can play a key role in the regulation of cellular adhesion, proliferation, migration, and cell signaling. Furthermore, the extracellular matrix is widely recognized as being a key site of cytokine and growth factor binding, and modification of matrix structure might be expected to alter such behavior. In this paper we review the potential sources of oxidative matrix damage, the changes that occur in matrix structure, and how this may affect cellular behavior. The role of such damage in the development and progression of inflammatory diseases is discussed.

Abstract
This study addresses the interaction between Ehrlich ascites tumor and skeletal abdominal muscle, presenting quantitative analysis of ascites-induced angiogenesis and inflammation in this tissue of mice bearing-tumor. Time-dependent changes in the muscle (cellular activity, angiogenesis, inflammation and cytokines production) were assessed by morphometric, functional, and biochemical parameters at days 1, 4 and 8 after i.p. inoculation of Ehrlich tumor cells (2.5 x 10(7)). The number of cells stained with AgNOR technique (argyrophilic nucleolar organizer region) in the muscle, together with MTS assay used as markers of cellular activity increased progressively in parallel with the out flow rate of sodium fluorescein (blood flow index), hemoglobin content (vascular index) and VEGF production. Likewise, the inflammatory process in the muscle, as assessed by myeloperoxidase (MPO) and n-acethylglucosaminidase (NAG) activities and the levels of the chemokines, keratinocyte-derived chemokine (CXC1-3/KC) and macrophage-chemoattractant protein (CCL2/MCP-1) increased with tumor development. The combination of techniques used to describe angiogenesis and inflammation in a muscle model system has proved to be suited for quantitative measurements of microvascular changes and cellular infiltration occurring in the abdominal muscle wall of ascites-bearing mice. This study holds potential for investigating events and mechanisms associated with skeletal muscle response to neoplasic stimulus.

Abstract
Inflammation of the lung is characterized by the influx of increased numbers of various leukocytes including polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) neutrophils. In addition to cells, numerous studies have pointed to the role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in the inflammatory process. This study addresses a previously unrecognized interaction between neutrophil-derived myeloperoxidase (MPO) and resident alveolar macrophages (AMø). Rat AMø exposed to either enzymatically active recombinant MPO or enzymatically inactive MPO (iMPO) exhibited an increased respiratory burst (RB). When iMPO was employed, the enhancement of the RB was greater than that observed with MPO. Although the RB was greater with iMPO, macrophage (Mø)-mediated intracellular candidic activity was equivalent for both MPO and iMPO. It is known that pro- inflammatory cytokines contribute to the inflammatory process. When rat AMø were exposed to both forms of myeloperoxidase, iMPO demonstrated greater upregulation of cytokine genes as well as product. These data suggest that at the site of inflammation, neutrophil-derived MPO and iMPO stimulate AMø, resulting in an increased inflammatory and cytotoxic state, and thereby contributing to the general lung inflammatory response.

Abstract
The macrophage mannose receptor (MR) has an established role in the phagocytosis of a wide range of microbes, and also functions in viral endocytosis, and clearance of a number of endogenous glycoproteins from the circulation. Its broad ligand specificity is mediated by tandemly linked carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs). Recent studies suggest that binding or internalization of both natural and synthetic ligands of MR CRDs may modulate macrophage (MPhi ) function, for example to increase cidal capacity or cytokine synthesis. To identify endogenous ligands in the normal mouse we used an Fc-fusion protein (CRD4-7Fc) bearing four of the CRDs of MR. CRD4-7Fc recognized endocytic compartments of cultured MPhi, consistent with lysosomal enzymes being major ligands of MR. CRD4-7Fc also recognized MPhi and some endothelial cells in tissues, and intensely labeled secretory cells of the exocrine pancreas, salivary gland and thyroid. Strongly MR-positive interstitial cells were found in close proximity to the ligand-rich secretory cells, suggesting a role for MR in uptake of secretory glycoproteins, including thyroglobulin which was identified as a novel ligand in vitro. Endocytosis of these ligands by MR may have implications for tissue homeostasis and immunity, including antigen presentation, in secretory organs.
