Abstract
The reciprocal modulation between the CXCL12/CXCR4/ACKR3 axis and the STAT3 signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the progression of various diseases and neoplasms. Activation of the CXCL12/CXCR4/ACKR3 axis triggers the STAT3 pathway through multiple mechanisms, while the STAT3 pathway also regulates the expression of CXCL12. This review offers a thorough and systematic analysis of the reciprocal regulatory mechanisms between the CXCL12/CXCR4/ACKR3 signaling axis and the STAT3 signaling pathway in the context of diseases, particularly tumors. It explores the potential clinical applications in tumor treatment, highlighting possible therapeutic targets and novel strategies for targeted tumor therapy.

Stem Cell Res Ther 2023; 14:172. [PMID: 37400916 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-023-03347-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2022] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Islet transplantation is used therapeutically in a minority of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, successful outcomes are hampered by early islet β-cell loss caused by immune rejection and autoimmunity. Recent studies have demonstrated that mesenchymal stromal cells can enhance islet function both in vitro and in vivo by secreting ligands that activate islet G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) is an MSC-secreted GPCR ligand, whereas the suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) is a negative regulator of STAT3-activating cytokines. Here, we determined whether improvement in islet function mediated by exogenous SDF-1 is impaired by SOCS3 in experimental models of T1D. METHODS Isolated islets were cultured for 48 h with SDF-1. Cytokine-induced apoptosis was measured immediately. Islets from Socs3-/- mice were pre-cultured with exogenous SDF-1 and transplanted underneath the kidney capsule of C57BL/6 mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Blood glucose levels were monitored for 28 days. AMD3100, an antagonist of the SDF-1 ligand CXCR4, was administered subcutaneously to islet transplanted mice to inhibit CXCR4 before and after transplantation. RESULTS SDF-1 protected islet cells from cytokine-induced apoptosis in vitro. SOCS3-knockout (KO) islets pretreated with SDF-1 were effective in reducing blood glucose in non-obese diabetic mice in vivo. We found that SDF-1 elicits localized immunosuppression in transplanted SOCS3-KO islets. Immunomodulation was observed when SOCS-KO islets were preconditioned with SDF-1. Gene expression and flow cytometric analyses revealed significantly decreased immune cell infiltration, inflammatory cytokines, and concomitant increases in FOXP3+ regulatory T cells, alternatively activated M2 macrophages, and dendritic cell phenotypes. Administration of AMD3100 impaired the SDF-1-mediated improvement in SOCS3-KO islet function and local immune suppression. CONCLUSION SDF-1 improves the function of islet grafts in autoimmune diabetes through regulation by CXCR4; however, the presence of SOCS3 reverses the protective effect of SDF-1 on islet grafts. These data reveal a molecular pathway that can elicit localized immunosuppression and delay graft destruction in transplanted islets.

Abstract
The lymphatic system plays crucial roles in immunity far beyond those of simply providing conduits for leukocytes and antigens in lymph fluid. Endothelial cells within this vasculature are distinct and highly specialized to perform roles based upon their location. Afferent lymphatic capillaries have unique intercellular junctions for efficient uptake of fluid and macromolecules, while expressing chemotactic and adhesion molecules that permit selective trafficking of specific immune cell subsets. Moreover, in response to events within peripheral tissue such as inflammation or infection, soluble factors from lymphatic endothelial cells exert “remote control” to modulate leukocyte migration across high endothelial venules from the blood to lymph nodes draining the tissue. These immune hubs are highly organized and perfectly arrayed to survey antigens from peripheral tissue while optimizing encounters between antigen-presenting cells and cognate lymphocytes. Furthermore, subsets of lymphatic endothelial cells exhibit differences in gene expression relating to specific functions and locality within the lymph node, facilitating both innate and acquired immune responses through antigen presentation, lymph node remodeling and regulation of leukocyte entry and exit. This review details the immune cell subsets in afferent and efferent lymph, and explores the mechanisms by which endothelial cells of the lymphatic system regulate such trafficking, for immune surveillance and tolerance during steady-state conditions, and in response to infection, acute and chronic inflammation, and subsequent resolution.

Abstract
Studies over the last decade uncovered overlapping niches for hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), multipotent progenitor cells, common lymphoid progenitors, and early B cell progenitors. HSC and lymphoid niches are predominantly composed by mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) and by a small subset of endothelial cells. Niche cells create specialized microenvironments through the concomitant production of short-range acting cell-fate determining cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-7 and stem cell factor and the potent chemoattractant C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12. This type of cellular organization allows for the cross-talk between hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells with niche cells, such that niche cell activity can be regulated by the quality and quantity of hematopoietic progenitors being produced. For example, preleukemic B cell progenitors and preB acute lymphoblastic leukemias interact directly with MPCs, and downregulate IL-7 expression and the production of non-leukemic lymphoid cells. In this review, we discuss a novel model of B cell development that is centered on cellular circuits formed between B cell progenitors and lymphopoietic niches.

Abstract
B lymphocytes develop from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in specialized bone marrow niches composed of rare mesenchymal lineage stem/progenitor cells (MSPCs) and sinusoidal endothelial cells. These niches are defined by function and location: MSPCs are mostly perisinusoidal cells that together with a small subset of sinusoidal endothelial cells express stem cell factor, interleukin-7 (IL-7), IL-15, and the highest amounts of CXCL12 in bone marrow. Though rare, MSPCs are morphologically heterogeneous, highly reticular, and form a vast cellular network in the bone marrow parenchyma capable of interacting with large numbers of hematopoietic cells. HSCs, downstream multipotent progenitor cells, and common lymphoid progenitor cells utilize CXCR4 to fine-tune access to critical short-range growth factors provided by MSPCs for their long-term maintenance and/or multilineage differentiation. In later stages, developing B lymphocytes use CXCR4 to navigate the bone marrow parenchyma, and predominantly cannabinoid receptor-2 for positioning within bone marrow sinusoids, prior to being released into peripheral blood circulation. In the final stages of differentiation, transitional B cells migrate to the spleen where they preferentially undergo further rounds of differentiation until selection into the mature B cell pool occurs. This bottleneck purges up to 97% of all developing B cells in a peripheral selection process that is heavily controlled not only by the intensity of BCR signaling and access to BAFF but also by the proper functioning of the B cell motility machinery.

Sleep disruption impairs haematopoietic stem cell transplantation in mice. Nat Commun 2015; 6:8516.

Abstract
Many of the factors affecting the success of haematopoietic cell transplantation are still unknown. Here we show in mice that donor sleep deprivation reduces the ability of its haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to engraft and reconstitute the blood and bone marrow of an irradiated recipient by more than 50%. We demonstrate that sleep deprivation downregulates the expression of microRNA (miR)-19b, a negative regulator of the suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS) genes, which inhibit HSC migration and homing. Accordingly, HSCs from sleep-deprived mice have higher levels of SOCS genes expression, lower migration capacity in vitro and reduced homing to the bone marrow in vivo. Recovery of sleep after sleep deprivation restored the reconstitution potential of the HSCs. Taken together, this study provides insights into cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of sleep deprivation on HSCs, emphasizing the potentially critical role of donor sleep in the success of bone marrow transplantation.

Abstract
Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-3 has been suggested to regulate CXCR4 signaling in a variety of human cell lines. In mice, conditional SOCS3 inactivation in hematopoietic cells including B-lineage lymphocytes has been reported to exacerbate CXCR4-signaling and focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation, which resulted in altered immature B cell distribution in bone marrow (BM) due to sustained α4β1 integrin-mediated adhesion to the extracellular matrix. However, a recent study examining conditional SOCS3 deletion specifically in B-lineage cells failed to detect significant roles in B-lineage cell retention in BM. In this study we carefully examined the role played by SOCS3 in CXCR4 signaling in developing B cell subsets. We show that in mice conditionally deficient in SOCS3 exclusively in B cells (Socs3fl/fl Mb1cre/+) there was no detectable difference in B cell development in BM and in periphery. We show that SOCS3 deficient and sufficient immature B cell subsets are similarly distributed between BM parenchyma and sinusoids, and are equally competent at exiting BM into peripheral blood. Furthermore, we found no significant differences in CXCR4 desensitization upon ligand exposure in developing B lymphocyte subsets. Consequently, SOCS3-deficient and sufficient B-lineage cell migration towards CXCL12 in vitro was undistinguishable, and B-lineage cell amoeboid motility within BM parenchyma was also unaffected by SOCS3-deficiency. Thus we conclude that SOCS3 has no detectable influence on biological processes known to be controlled by CXCR4 signaling.

Abstract
Neutrophil recruitment to the site of injury is an essential first step of an anti-bacterial response. However, little is known about the basis for and relevance of neutrophil migration from inflamed tissue into lymphoid organs. We established a photoconversion-based system to monitor the fate of neutrophils recruited to inflamed skin. While neutrophils are efficiently recruited to sites of both microbial and sterile lesions, subsequent re-localization to draining lymph nodes happens only when bacteria are present in the primary lesion. Skin egress of neutrophils occurs via lymphatic vessels and is dependent on CD11b and CXCR4 but not CCR7. Neutrophils are the predominant immune cell to migrate from inflamed skin into lymph nodes where they augment lymphocyte proliferation. Furthermore, inhibition of neutrophil migration from skin reduces T-cell proliferation in draining lymph nodes. Thus neutrophils mediate rapid cellular communication between the initial injury site and secondary lymphoid organs and modulate immune responsiveness. Both sterile and microbial injuries lead to rapid neutrophil recruitment to the site of inflammation. Here the authors show that only neutrophils responding to microbial ligands leave inflamed skin and migrate to draining lymph nodes where they stimulate lymphocyte proliferation.

Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) is an important regulator of immune functions in vertebrates, and it has been intensively reported a series of stimulatory actions of this hormone over on the immune system. Within aquaculture, overexpression of GH has been considered a promising alternative for promoting higher growth rates in organisms of commercial interest. Considering the various pleiotropic effects of GH, there are still few studies that aim to understand the consequences of the excess of GH on the physiological systems. In this context, our goal was to present the effects of the overexpression of GH on immune parameters using a model of zebrafish (Danio rerio) that overexpress this hormone. The results showed that GH transgenic zebrafish had 100% of mortality when immunosuppressed with dexamethasone, revealing a prior weakening of the immune system in this lineage. Morphometric analysis of thymus and head kidney revealed a reduction in the area of these structures in transgenic zebrafish. Moreover, the phenotypic expression of CD3 and CD4 thymocytes was also depreciated in transgenic zebrafish. Furthermore, a decrease was noted in the expression of genes RAG-1 (60%), IKAROS (50%), IL-1β (55%), CD4 (60%) and CD247 (40%), indicating that development parameters, of innate and acquired immunity, are being harmed. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the excess of GH impairs the immune functions in GH transgenic zebrafish, indicating that the maintenance of normal levels of this hormone is essential for the functioning of immunological activities.

Abstract
Mitochondria control bioenergetics and cell fate decisions, but how they influence nuclear gene expression is understood poorly. Here, we show that deletion or reduction in the levels of cyclophilin D (CypD, also called Ppif), a mitochondrial matrix peptidyl prolyl isomerase and apoptosis regulator, results in increased cell proliferation and enhanced cell migration and invasion. These responses are associated with extensive transcriptional changes, modulation of a chemokine/chemokine receptor gene signature, and activation of the pleiotropic inflammatory mediator, STAT3. In the absence of CypD, active STAT3 enhances cell proliferation via accelerated entry into S-phase and stimulates autocrine/paracrine cell motility through Cxcl12-Cxcr4-directed chemotaxis. Therefore, CypD directs mitochondria-to-nuclei inflammatory gene expression in normal and tumor cells. This pathway may contribute to malignant traits under conditions of CypD modulation.

Abstract
Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a disorder caused by autoantibody-mediated platelet destruction and decreased platelet production. Rituximab, a B cell-depleting agent, has become the first-line treatment for ITP; however, patients with refractory disease usually require splenectomy. We identified antibody-secreting cells as the major splenic B cell population that is resistant to rituximab. The phenotype, antibody specificity, and gene expression profile of these cells were characterized and compared to those of antibody-secreting cells from untreated ITP spleens and from healthy tissues. Antiplatelet-specific plasma cells (PC) were detected in the spleens of patients with ITP up to 6 months after rituximab treatment, and the PC population displayed a long-lived program similar to the one of bone marrow PC, thus explaining for most of these patients the absence of response to rituximab and the response to splenectomy. When analyzed by multiplex PCR at the single-cell level, normal splenic PC showed a markedly different gene expression profile, with an intermediate signature, including genes characteristic of both long-lived PC and proliferating plasmablasts. Surprisingly, long-lived PC were not detected in untreated ITP spleens. These results suggest that the milieu generated by B cell depletion promotes the differentiation and settlement of long-lived PC in the spleen.

Abstract
Background The use of bone marrow-derived human multipotent stromal cells (hMSC) in cell-based therapies has dramatically increased in recent years, as researchers have exploited the ability of these cells to migrate to sites of tissue injury, inflammation, and tumors. Our group established that hMSC respond to “danger” signals – by-products of damaged, infected or inflamed tissues – via activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs). However, little is known regarding downstream signaling mediated by TLRs in hMSC. Methodology/Principal Findings We demonstrate that TLR3 stimulation activates a Janus kinase (JAK) 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 1 pathway, and increases expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) 1 and SOCS3 in hMSC. Our studies suggest that each of these SOCS plays a distinct role in negatively regulating TLR3 and JAK/STAT signaling. TLR3-mediated interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) expression was inhibited by SOCS3 overexpression in hMSC while SOCS1 overexpression reduced STAT1 activation. Furthermore, our study is the first to demonstrate that when TLR3 is activated in hMSC, expression of CXCR4 and CXCR7 is downregulated. SOCS3 overexpression inhibited internalization of both CXCR4 and CXCR7 following TLR3 stimulation. In contrast, SOCS1 overexpression only inhibited CXCR7 internalization. Conclusion/Significance These results demonstrate that SOCS1 and SOCS3 each play a functionally distinct role in modulating TLR3, JAK/STAT, and CXCR4/CXCR7 signaling in hMSC and shed further light on the way hMSC respond to danger signals.

Abstract
One of the major fundamental causes for the aging of the immune system is the structural and functional involution of the thymus, and the associated decline in de novo naïve T-lymphocyte output. This loss of naïve T-cell production weakens the ability of the adaptive immune system to respond to new antigenic stimuli and eventually leads to a peripheral T-cell bias to the memory phenotype. While the precise mechanisms responsible for age-associated thymic involution remain unknown, a variety of theories have been forwarded including the loss of expression of various growth factors and hormones that influence the lymphoid compartment and promote thymic function. Extensive studies examining two hormones, namely growth hormone (GH) and ghrelin (GRL), have demonstrated their contributions to thymus biology. In the current review, we discuss the literature supporting a role for these hormones in thymic physiology and age-associated thymic involution and their potential use in the restoration of thymic function in aged and immunocompromised individuals.

Abstract
Activation of Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) is an important mechanism by which hyperglycemia contributes to renal damage, suggesting that modulation of this pathway may prevent renal and vascular complications of diabetes. Here, we investigated the involvement of suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) as intracellular negative regulators of JAK/STAT activation in diabetic nephropathy. In a rat model, inducing diabetes resulted in JAK/STAT activation and increased expression of SOCS1 and SOCS3. In humans, we observed increased expression of glomerular and tubulointerstitial SOCS proteins in biopsies of patients with diabetic nephropathy. In vitro, high concentrations of glucose activated JAK/STAT/SOCS in human mesangial and tubular cells. Overexpression of SOCS reversed the glucose-induced activation of the JAK/STAT pathway, expression of STAT-dependent genes (chemokines, growth factors, and extracellular matrix proteins), and cell proliferation. In vivo, intrarenal delivery of adenovirus expressing SOCS1 and SOCS3 to diabetic rats significantly improved renal function and reduced renal lesions associated with diabetes, such as mesangial expansion, fibrosis, and influx of macrophages. SOCS gene delivery also decreased the activation of STAT1 and STAT3 and the expression of proinflammatory and profibrotic proteins in the diabetic kidney. In summary, these results provide direct evidence for a link between the JAK/STAT/SOCS axis and hyperglycemia-induced cell responses in the kidney. Suppression of the JAK/STAT pathway by increasing intracellular SOCS proteins may have therapeutic potential in diabetic nephropathy.

Impact of CXCR4 inhibition on FLT3-ITD-positive human AML blasts. Exp Hematol 2009; 38:180-90.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations of the FLT3 receptor are associated with a high incidence of relapse in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Expression of the CXCR4 receptor in FLT3-ITD-positive AML is correlated with poor outcome, and inhibition of CXCR4 was shown to sensitize AML blasts toward chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of FLT3-ITD on cell proliferation and CXCR4-dependent migration in human hematopoietic progenitor cells and to investigate their response to CXCR4 inhibition. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used primary blasts from patients with FLT3-ITD or FLT3 wild-type AML. In addition, human CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitor cells were transduced to >70% with retroviral vectors containing human FLT3-ITD. RESULTS We found that FLT3-ITD transgene overexpressing human hematopoietic progenitor cells show strongly reduced migration toward stromal-derived factor-1 in vitro and display significantly reduced bone marrow homing in nonobese diabetic severe combined immunodeficient mice. Cocultivation of FLT3-ITD-positive AML blasts or hematopoietic progenitor cells on bone marrow stromal cells resulted in a strong proliferation advantage and increased early cobblestone area-forming cells compared to FLT3-wild-type AML blasts. Addition of the CXCR4 inhibitor AMD3100 to the coculture significantly reduced both cobblestone area-forming cells and proliferation of FLT3-ITD-positive cells, but did not affect FLT3-wild-type cells-highlighting the critical interaction between CXCR4 and FLT3-ITD. CONCLUSION CXCR4 inhibition to decrease cell proliferation and to control the leukemic burden may provide a novel therapeutic strategy in patients with advanced FLT3-ITD-positive AML.

Abstract
Brucella spp. establish an intracellular replicative niche in macrophages, while macrophages attempt to eliminate the bacteria by innate defense mechanisms. Brucella spp. possess similar genomes yet exhibit different macrophage infections. Few B. melitensis and B. neotomae enter macrophages with intracellular adaptation occurring over 4-8 hr. Conversely, B. ovis are readily ingested by macrophages and exhibit a persistent plateau of infection. Evaluating early macrophage interaction with Brucella spp. allows discovery of host entry and intracellular translocation mechanisms. Microarray analysis of macrophage transcriptional response following a 4 hr infection by different Brucella spp. revealed common macrophage genes altered in expression compared to uninfected macrophages. Macrophage infection with three different Brucella spp. provokes a common innate immune theme with increased transcript levels of chemokines and defense response genes and decreased transcript levels of GTPase signaling and cytoskeletal function that may affect trafficking of Brucella containing vesicles. For example, transcript levels of genes associated with chemotaxis (IL-1beta, MIP-1alpha), cytokine regulation (Socs3) and defense (Fas, Tnf) were increased, while transcript levels of genes associated with vesicular trafficking (Rab3d) and lysosomal associated enzymes (prosaposin) were decreased. Genes with altered macrophage transcript levels among Brucella spp. infections may correlate with species specific host defenses and intracellular survival strategies. Depending on the infecting Brucella species, gene ontology categorization identified genes differentially involved in cell growth and maintenance, endopeptidase inhibitor activity and G-protein mediated signaling. Examples of decreased gene expression in B. melitensis infection but not other Brucella spp. were growth arrest (Gas2), immunoglobulin receptor (FcgammarI) and chemokine receptor (Cxcr4) genes, suggesting opposing effects on intracellular functions.

Abstract
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive, rapidly metastasising tumour. Previously, we demonstrated the influence of CXCL12–CXCR4 interaction on processes involved in metastasis and chemoresistance in SCLC. We show here that STAT3 is expressed in both primary SCLC tumour tissues and SCLC cell lines. We investigated the function of STAT3 upon CXCL12 stimulation in SCLC cell lines. Small cell lung cancer cell lines present constitutive phosphorylation of STAT3, and in the reference cell lines NCI-H69 and NCI-H82 constitutive phosphorylation was further increased by CXCL12 stimulation. Further investigating this signalling cascade, we showed that it involves interactions between CXCR4 and JAK2 in both cell lines. However CXCL12-induced adhesion to VCAM-1 could be completely inhibited by the JAK2 inhibitor AG490 only in NCI-H82. Furthermore, CXCR4 antagonist but not AG490 inhibited cell adhesion whereas both antagonisms were shown to inhibit growth of the cells in soft agar, indicating the central involvement of this signalling in anchorage-independent growth of SCLC cells. Most interestingly, while using primary tumour material, we observed that in contrast to non-small-cell lung cancer samples from primary tumour tissues, all analysed samples from SCLC were strongly positive for tyrosine-phosphorylated STAT3. Taken together, these data indicate that STAT3 is constitutively phosphorylated in SCLC and is important in SCLC growth and spreading thus presenting an interesting target for therapy.

Abstract
The intracellular negatively regulatory mechanism which affects IL-1beta-induced MUC8 gene expression remains unclear. We found that SOCS3 overexpression suppressed IL-1beta-induced MUC8 gene expression in NCI-H292 cells, whereas silencing of SOCS3 restored IL-1beta-induced MUC8 gene expression. Sequentially activated ERK1/2, RSK1, and CREB by IL-1beta were not affected by SOCS3, indicating that SOCS3 has an independent mechanism of action. Using immunoprecipitaion and nano LC mass analysis, we found that SOCS3 bound NonO (non-POU-domain containing, octamer-binding domain protein) in the absence of IL-1beta, whereas IL-1beta treatment dissociated the direct binding of SOCS3 and NonO. A dominant-negative SOCS3 mutant (Y204F/Y221F) did not bind to NonO. Interestingly, SOCS3 overexpression dramatically suppressed MUC8 gene expression in cells transfected with wild-type or siRNA of NonO. Moreover, silencing of SOCS3 dramatically increased NonO-mediated MUC8 gene expression caused by IL-1beta compared to NonO overexpression alone, suggesting that SOCS3 acts as a suppressor by regulating the action of NonO.

Abstract
Astrocytes play a number of important physiological roles in CNS homeostasis. Inflammation stimulates astrocytes to secrete cytokines and chemokines that guide macrophages/microglia and T cells to sites of injury/inflammation. Herein, we describe how these processes are controlled by the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins, a family of proteins that negatively regulate adaptive and innate immune responses. In this study, we describe that the immunomodulatory cytokine IFN-beta induces SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 expression in primary astrocytes at the transcriptional level. SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 transcriptional activity is induced by IFN-beta through IFN-gamma activation site (GAS) elements within their promoters. Studies in STAT-1alpha-deficient astrocytes indicate that STAT-1alpha is required for IFN-beta-induced SOCS-1 expression, while STAT-3 small interfering RNA studies demonstrate that IFN-beta-induced SOCS-3 expression relies on STAT-3 activation. Specific small interfering RNA inhibition of IFN-beta-inducible SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 in astrocytes enhances their proinflammatory responses to IFN-beta stimulation, such as heightened expression of the chemokines CCL2 (MCP-1), CCL3 (MIP-1alpha), CCL4 (MIP-1beta), CCL5 (RANTES), and CXCL10 (IP-10), and promoting chemotaxis of macrophages and CD4(+) T cells. These results indicate that IFN-beta induces SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 in primary astrocytes to attenuate its own chemokine-related inflammation in the CNS.

Abstract
Suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins control many aspects of lymphocyte function through regulation of STAT pathways. SOCS1-deficient mice develop severe skin and eye diseases that result from massive infiltration of inflammatory cells into these tissues. In this study, we have used SOCS1-, STAT1-, or STAT6-deficient mice, as well as, T cells with stable overexpression or deletion of SOCS1, to examine whether SOCS1 is involved in regulating lymphocyte trafficking to peripheral tissues. We show that SOCS1-deficient mice have increased numbers of T cells with characteristics of effector memory cells and expression of CCR7, a protein that promotes retention of T cells in lymphoid tissues, is markedly reduced in these cells. The decrease in CCR7 expression correlates with hyperactivation of STAT6, suggesting that aberrant recruitment of T cells into SOCS1-deficient mouse skin or eye results from abrogation of negative feedback regulation of STAT6 activation and CCR7 expression. Consistent with in vivo regulation of CCR7 expression and lymphocyte migration by SOCS1, forced overexpression of SOCS1 in T cells up-regulates CCR7 expression and enhances chemotaxis toward CCL19 or CCL21. CCR6 and CXCR3 are also up-regulated on SOCS1-deficient T cells and in situ analysis of the cornea or retina further reveal that these cells may mediate the chronic skin and eye inflammation through recruitment of Th1 and Th17 cells into these tissues. Collectively, these results suggest that SOCS1 regulates steady-state levels of chemokine receptors through its inhibitory effects on STAT pathways and this may underscore its role in regulating recruitment and retention of effector cells into nonlymphoid tissues.

Abstract
The CXCL12γ chemokine arises by alternative splicing from Cxcl12, an essential gene during development. This protein binds CXCR4 and displays an exceptional degree of conservation (99%) in mammals. CXCL12γ is formed by a protein core shared by all CXCL12 isoforms, extended by a highly cationic carboxy-terminal (C-ter) domain that encompass four overlapped BBXB heparan sulfate (HS)-binding motifs. We hypothesize that this unusual domain could critically determine the biological properties of CXCL12γ through its interaction to, and regulation by extracellular glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and HS in particular. By both RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, we mapped the localization of CXCL12γ both in mouse and human tissues, where it showed discrete differential expression. As an unprecedented feature among chemokines, the secreted CXCL12γ strongly interacted with cell membrane GAG, thus remaining mostly adsorbed on the plasmatic membrane upon secretion. Affinity chromatography and surface plasmon resonance allowed us to determine for CXCL12γ one of the higher affinity for HS (Kd = 0.9 nM) ever reported for a protein. This property relies in the presence of four canonical HS-binding sites located at the C-ter domain but requires the collaboration of a HS-binding site located in the core of the protein. Interestingly, and despite reduced agonist potency on CXCR4, the sustained binding of CXCL12γ to HS enabled it to promote in vivo intraperitoneal leukocyte accumulation and angiogenesis in matrigel plugs with much higher efficiency than CXCL12α. In good agreement, mutant CXCL12γ chemokines selectively devoid of HS-binding capacity failed to promote in vivo significant cell recruitment. We conclude that CXCL12γ features unique structural and functional properties among chemokines which rely on the presence of a distinctive C-ter domain. The unsurpassed capacity to bind to HS on the extracellular matrix would make CXCL12γ the paradigm of haptotactic proteins, which regulate essential homeostatic functions by promoting directional migration and selective tissue homing of cells.

Abstract
Cytokine signaling via a restricted number of Jak-Stat pathways positively and negatively regulates all cell types involved in the initiation, propagation, and resolution of inflammation. Here, we focus on Jak-Stat signaling in three major cell types involved in inflammatory responses: T cells, neutrophils, and macrophages. We summarize how the Jak-Stat pathways in these cells are negatively regulated by the Suppressor of cytokine signaling (Socs) proteins. We emphasize that common Jak-Stat-Socs signaling modules can have diverse developmental, pro- and anti-inflammatory outcomes depending on the cytokine receptor activated and which genes are accessible at a given time in a cell's life. Because multiple components of Jak-Stat-Socs pathways are mutated or closely associated with human inflammatory diseases, and cytokine-based therapies are increasingly deployed to treat inflammation, understanding cytokine signaling will continue to advance our ability to manipulate chronic and acute inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Neuroendocrine hormones such as growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) have been demonstrated to accelerate the recovery of the immune response after chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation and to enhance the restoration of immunity in individuals infected with HIV and in normal individuals with compromised immune systems associated with aging. As the mechanism of action of these hormones has been elucidated, it has become clear that they are integral members of the immunological cytokine/chemokine network and share regulatory mechanisms with a wide variety of cytokines and chemokines. The members of this cytokine network induce and can be regulated by members of the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family of intracellular proteins. In order to take advantage of the potential beneficial effects of hormones such as GH or PRL, it is essential to take into consideration the overall cytokine network and the regulatory effects of SOCS proteins.

Abstract
LPS, a molecule produced by Gram-negative bacteria, is known to activate both innate immune cells such as macrophages and adaptive immune B cells via TLR4 signaling. Although TLR4 is also expressed on T cells, LPS was observed not to affect T cell proliferation or cytokine secretion. We now report, however, that LPS can induce human T cells to adhere to fibronectin via TLR4 signaling. This response to LPS was confirmed in mouse T cells; functional TLR4 and MyD88 were required, but T cells from TLR2 knockout mice could respond to LPS. The human T cell response to LPS depended on protein kinase C signaling and involved the phosphorylation of the proline-rich tyrosine kinase (Pyk-2) and p38. LPS also up-regulated the T cell expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3, which led to inhibition of T cell chemotaxis toward the chemokine stromal cell-derived factor 1alpha (CXCL12). Thus, LPS, through TLR4 signaling, can affect T cell behavior in inflammation.

Abstract
The chemokine CXCL12 influences self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cell precursors in bone marrow by directing them toward specific stromalcell components. CXCL12 up-regulates members of the SOCS family through JAK/STAT activation, a mechanism that attenuates chemokine responses. SOCS expression may thus modulate retention of hematopoietic precursors (Sca-1(+) c-Kit(+)Lin(-) cells) in bone marrow. We show that in bovine growth hormone transgenic mice and in growth hormone-treated mice, SOCS up-regulation correlated with a large number of Sca-1(+) c-Kit(+)Lin(-) cells in blood. Retroviral transduction of SOCSs blocked in vitro migration of Sca-1(+)c-Kit(+)Lin(-) cells, as well as their capacity to reconstitute lethally irradiated mice. Furthermore, in lethally irradiated mice reconstituted with bone marrow infected by a tetracycline-regulated, SOCS-expressing lentiviral vector, doxycycline treatment promoted rapid, extensive precursor mobilization to the periphery. The results indicate that by blocking CXCR4-mediated functions, SOCSs modulate hematopoietic precursor cell retention in bone marrow, and suggest the therapeutic interest of SOCS manipulation in several pathologic situations.

Abstract
Signal transducers and transcription factors are used in common for developmental cell migration, vasculogenesis, branching morphogenesis, as well as neuronal pathfinding. STAT3, a transcription factor, has been shown to function in all of these processes except neuronal pathfinding. Here, it is shown that STAT3 also facilitates this process. Elimination of STAT3 signaling results in half of zebrafish CaP motoneurons stalling along their ventral pathfinding trajectory. Conversely, constitutive activation leads to precocious branching and redefines CaP axons as a responding population to dorsal guidance cues, resulting in bifurcated axons innervating normal ventral targets as well as additional dorsal muscle groups. These results are consistent with and highlight a fundamental role for STAT3 as a factor promoting cellular responses to guidance cues, not only in nonneural cells but also in pathfinding neurons.

Abstract
CXCR4 is a G protein-coupled receptor of considerable biological significance, and among its numerous functions, it is suggested to play a critical role in cancer metastasis. We have investigated the expression and function of CXCR4 in a range of breast cancer cell lines covering a spectrum of invasive phenotypes and found that, while surface levels of CXCR4 were uniform across the entire panel, only highly invasive cells that are metastatic in immunocompromised mice expressed functional receptors. CXCL12/SDF-1 induced cellular responses such as calcium mobilization, actin polymerization, and chemotaxis in metastatic cells, whereas noninvasive cells were unresponsive. Moreover, CXCL12 activated multiple signaling pathways downstream of G proteins in highly invasive cells but failed to activate any of the examined kinase cascades in noninvasive cell lines. This blockade in nonmetastatic cell lines seems to be due to the inability of G protein alpha and beta subunits to form a heterotrimeric complex with CXCR4. Galpha and Gbeta were able to bind to CXCR4 independently in all cell lines, but the association of G protein alphabetagamma heterotrimers with the receptor, a prerequisite for signal transduction downstream from G protein-coupled receptors, was only observed in the highly invasive cell lines. Our findings show, for the first time, that CXCR4 function is subject to complex and potentially tightly controlled regulation in breast cancer cells via differential G protein-receptor complex formation, and this regulation may play a role in the transition from nonmetastatic to malignant tumors.

Abstract
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG), a matrix protein that occurs naturally in the central nervous system (CNS), is considered to be a major inhibitor of axonal regeneration and is known to participate in activation of the inflammatory response. The degradation of CSPG by a specific enzyme, chondroitinase ABC, promotes repair. We postulated that a disaccharidic degradation product of this glycoprotein (CSPG-DS), generated following such degradation, participates in the modulation of the inflammatory responses and can, therefore, promote recovery in immune-induced neuropathologies of the CNS, such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU). In these pathologies, the dramatic increase in T cells infiltrating the CNS is far in excess of the numbers needed for regular maintenance. Here, we show that CSPG-DS markedly alleviated the clinical symptoms of EAE and protected against the neuronal loss in EAU. The last effect was associated with a reduction in the numbers of infiltrating T cells and marked microglia activation. This is further supported by our in vitro results indicating that CSPG-DS attenuated T cell motility and decreased secretion of the cytokines interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Mechanistically, these effects are associated with an increase in SOCS-3 levels and a decrease in NF-kappaB. Our results point to a potential therapeutic modality, in which a compound derived from an endogenous CNS-resident molecule, known for its destructive role in CNS recovery, might be helpful in overcoming inflammation-induced neurodegenerative conditions.

Abstract
This study investigated memory responses in immune mice spleen cells to brucellosis by gene expression utilizing cDNA micro arrays. Out of a total of 1176 cDNA's 21 genes were differentially regulated in three independent experiments, and generally supported a Th1 type immune response. 10 genes were validated by real time PCR, and 3 genes (CD 86, CD 40 L and CD 132) were also analyzed by Flow Cytometry for surface protein expression. We extended these findings by studying the expression of five selected genes (IRF 1, SOCS 1, IL 2 R, IRF 7, and CXCR 4) in two independent groups of Brucella immunized mice. In this study we show the potential application of utilizing gene arrays to identify and establish new correlates of protection against a cell mediated immune response.

Abstract
Previous evidence indicates that GH modulates thymic cell migration. In this study we approached this issue in vivo, studying thymocyte migration in GH transgenic animals and in normal mice treated intrathymically with GH. Extracellular matrix and chemokines are involved in thymocyte migration. In this respect, thymocyte adhesion to laminin was higher in GH-treated animals than controls, and the numbers of migrating cells in laminin-coated Transwells was higher in GH-transgenic and GH-injected mice. Additionally, CXC chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12)-driven migration was higher in GH-Tg and GH-treated animals compared with controls. Interestingly, although CXCR4 expression on thymocytes did not change in GH-Tg mice, the CXCL12 intrathymic contents were higher. We found that CXCL12, in conjunction with laminin, would additionally enhance the migration of thymocytes previously exposed to high concentrations of GH in vivo. Lastly, there was an augmentation of recent thymic emigrants in lymph nodes from GH-Tg and GH-injected animals. In conclusion, enhanced thymocyte migration in GH transgenic mice as well as GH-injected mice results at least partially from a combined action of laminin and CXCL12. Considering that GH is presently being used as an adjuvant therapeutic agent in immunodeficiencies, including AIDS, the concepts defined herein provide important background knowledge for future GH-based immune interventions.

Abstract
Previously, we reported that treatment of T cells with the 60-kDa heat shock protein (HSP60) inhibits chemotaxis. We now report that treatment of purified human T cells with recombinant human HSP60 or its biologically active peptide p277 up-regulates suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)3 expression via TLR2 and STAT3 activation. SOCS3, in turn, inhibits the downstream effects of stromal cell-derived-1alpha (CXCL12)-CXCR4 interaction in: 1) phosphorylation of ERK1/2, Pyk2, AKT, and myosin L chain, required for cell adhesion and migration; 2) formation of rear-front T cell polarity; and 3) migration into the bone marrow of NOD/SCID mice. HSP60 also activates SOCS3 in mouse lymphocytes and inhibits their chemotaxis toward stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha and their ability to adoptively transfer delayed-type hypersensitivity. These effects of HSP60 could not be attributed to LPS or LPS-associated lipoprotein contamination. Thus, HSP60 can regulate T cell-mediated inflammation via specific signal transduction and SOCS3 activation.

Abstract
Suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family is constituted by cytokine-inducible proteins that modulate receptor signal transduction via tyrosine kinases, mainly the Janus kinase-signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway. Differential SOCS expression was noted in renal cells that were incubated with inflammatory stimuli, but the role of SOCS in the pathogenesis of renal diseases is not yet well defined. Because angiotensin II (Ang II) plays a key role in renal disease, SOCS proteins were studied as a novel mechanism involved in the negative regulation of Ang II-mediated processes. Systemic Ang II infusion for 3 d increased the renal mRNA expression of SOCS-3 and SOCS-1. SOCS protein synthesis was found in glomerular mesangial area and tubules. In cultured mesangial cells and tubular epithelial cells, Ang II induced a rapid and transient SOCS-3 and SOCS-1 expression in parallel with JAK2 and STAT1 activation. In both cell types, overexpression of SOCS proteins prevented the STAT activation in response to Ang II. SOCS expression observed in Ang II-infused rats and in Ang II-stimulated cells was significantly inhibited by treatment with AT(1) but not AT(2) receptor antagonist and was attenuated in mesangial cells from AT(1a)-deficient mice, demonstrating the implication of AT(1) in those responses. In SOCS-3 knockdown studies, antisense oligonucleotides inhibited the expression of SOCS-3 and increased the Ang II-induced STAT activation and c-Fos/c-Jun expression, then resulting in a more severe renal damage. These results suggest that SOCS proteins may act as negative regulators of Ang II signaling in renal cells and implicate SOCS as important modulators of renal damage.

Abstract
Aberrant activation of the JAK-STAT pathway has been implicated in tumor formation; for example, constitutive activation of JAK2 kinase or the enforced expression of STAT5 induces leukemia in mice. We show here that the Janus kinase TYK2 serves an opposite function. Mice deficient in TYK2 developed Abelson-induced B lymphoid leukemia/lymphoma as well as TEL-JAK2-induced T lymphoid leukemia with a higher incidence and shortened latency compared with WT controls. The cell-autonomous properties of Abelson murine leukemia virus-transformed (A-MuLV-transformed) TYK2(-/-) cells were unaltered, but the high susceptibility of TYK2(-/-) mice resulted from an impaired tumor surveillance, and accordingly, TYK2(-/-) A-MuLV-induced lymphomas were easily rejected after transplantation into WT hosts. The increased rate of leukemia/lymphoma formation was linked to a decreased in vitro cytotoxic capacity of TYK2(-/-) NK and NKT cells toward tumor-derived cells. RAG2/TYK2 double-knockout mice succumbed to A-MuLV-induced leukemia/lymphoma faster than RAG2(-/-)TYK2(+/-) mice. This defines NK cells as key players in tumor surveillance in Abelson-induced malignancies. Our observations provide compelling evidence that TYK2 is an important regulator of lymphoid tumor surveillance.

Abstract
The Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus encodes a G-protein-coupled chemokine receptor termed KSHV-GPCR. Expression of this constitutively active GPCR leads to cell transformation and vascular overgrowth characteristic of Kaposi's sarcoma. Previously, we have shown that CXCR2, the closest human homolog, is similarly able to transform cells if continuously stimulated or constitutively activated by amino-acid exchange D138V of the DRY sequence. Here, we demonstrate that STAT3 activation is a prerequisite for transformation in KSHV-GPCR and CXCR2 transfected NIH 3T3 cells. In KSHV-GPCR and D138V transfected cells, STAT-3 is constitutively phosphorylated on Tyr705. In CXCR2 transfected NIH 3T3 cells and human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC), which express the CXCR2 constitutively, STAT3 is phosphorylated upon stimulation with IL-8 (CXCL8). Focus formation in NIH 3T3 cells transfected with the KSHV-GPCR, CXCR2, or the D138V mutant, was blocked by the specific JAK2 inhibitor AG490. Typical functions of the CXCR2 including actin stress fiber formation, haptotaxis, and the angiogenic response in HMEC shown by tube formation in Matrigel were blocked by AG490. These data suggest that the transforming capacity and migratory responses that are involved in tumor development, metastasis, and angiogenesis in KSHV or CXCR2-expressing cells is at least partially mediated through a JAK2-STAT3 dependent pathway.

Abstract
AbstractImmunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL) is characterized by a clonal expansion of plasma cells within the bone marrow. Gene expression analysis was used to identify a unique molecular profile for AL using enriched plasma cells (CD138+) from the bone marrow of 24 patients with AL and 28 patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and 6 healthy controls. Class prediction analysis (PAM) revealed a subset of 12 genes, which included TNFRSF7 (CD27), SDF-1, and PSMA2, that distinguished between these 2 groups with an estimated and observed accuracy of classification of 92%. This model was validated with an independent dataset of 11 patients with AL and 12 patients with MM with 87% accuracy. Differential expression for the most discriminant genes in the 12-gene subset was validated using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and protein expression analysis, which upheld the observations from the micro-array expression data. Functional analyses using a novel network mapping software revealed a number of potentially significant pathways that were dysregulated in patients with AL, with those regulating proliferation, apoptosis, cell signaling, chemotaxis, and migration being substantially represented. This study provides new insight into the molecular profile of clonal plasma cells and its functional relevance in the pathogenesis of light chain amyloidosis.

Abstract
The chemokine SDF-1alpha transduces G(i)-dependent and -independent signals through CXCR4. Activation of Jak2/STAT3, a G(i)-independent signaling pathway, which plays a major role in survival signals, is known to be activated after SDF-1alpha binding to CXCR4 but the domains of CXCR4 involved in this signaling remain unexplored. Using human embryonic kidney HEK-293 cells stably expressing wild-type or mutated forms of CXCR4, we demonstrated that STAT3 phosphorylation requires the N-terminal part of the third intracellular loop (ICL3) and the tyrosine 157 present at the end of the second intracellular loop (ICL2) of CXCR4. In contrast, neither the conserved Tyr(135) in the DRY motif at the N terminus of ICL2 nor the Tyr(65) and Tyr(76) in the first intracellular loop (ICL1) are involved in this activation. ICL3, which does not contain any tyrosine residues, is needed to activate Jak2. These results demonstrate that two separate domains of CXCR4 are involved in Jak2/STAT3 signaling. The N-terminal part of ICL3 is needed to activate Jak2 after SDF-1alpha binding to CXCR4, leading to phosphorylation of only one cytoplasmic Tyr, present at the C terminus of ICL2, which triggers STAT3 activation. This work has profound implications for the understanding of CXCR4-transduced signaling.

Abstract
Signal transduction via cytokine receptors is regulated by several mechanisms that control initiation, magnitude and duration of the signaling pathways. Cytokine-induced SOCS family adaptors function as feedback inhibitors of cytokine receptor signaling by inhibiting the JAK-STAT signal transduction pathway. Specific gene-targeted mice have unveiled critical, non-overlapping functions for SOCS1 and SOCS3 in lymphocyte development and homeostasis, and in the regulation of macrophage and dendritic cell functions. In this review, we will discuss the structure of SOCS proteins, mechanisms by which they control the JAK-STAT pathway and their role in immune regulation.

Abstract
Stem cells resident in adult tissues are principally quiescent, yet harbor enormous capacity for proliferation to achieve self renewal and to replenish their tissue constituents. Although a single hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) can generate sufficient primitive progeny to repopulate many recipients, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that maintain their potency or regulate their self renewal. Here we have examined the gene expression changes that occur over a time course when HSCs are induced to proliferate and return to quiescence in vivo. These data were compared to data representing differences between naturally proliferating fetal HSCs and their quiescent adult counterparts. Bioinformatic strategies were used to group time-ordered gene expression profiles generated from microarrays into signatures of quiescent and dividing stem cells. A novel method for calculating statistically significant enrichments in Gene Ontology groupings for our gene lists revealed elemental subgroups within the signatures that underlie HSC behavior, and allowed us to build a molecular model of the HSC activation cycle. Initially, quiescent HSCs evince a state of readiness. The proliferative signal induces a preparative state, which is followed by active proliferation divisible into early and late phases. Re-induction of quiescence involves changes in migratory molecule expression, prior to reestablishment of homeostasis. We also identified two genes that increase in both gene and protein expression during activation, and potentially represent new markers for proliferating stem cells. These data will be of use in attempts to recapitulate the HSC self renewal process for therapeutic expansion of stem cells, and our model may correlate with acquisition of self renewal characteristics by cancer stem cells. This comprehensive study of gene expression in hematopoietic stem cells reveals some key cellular changes that occur when the stem cells transition from quiescence to proliferation and back again

Abstract
Suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) are encoded by immediate early genes known to inhibit cytokine responses in a classical feedback loop. SOCS gene expression has been shown to be induced by many cytokines, growth factors, and innate immune stimuli, such as LPS. In this paper, we report that the chemoattractants, IL-8 and fMLP, up-regulate SOCS1 mRNA in human myeloid cells, primary human neutrophils, PBMCs, and dendritic cells. fMLP rapidly up-regulates SOCS1, whereas the induction of SOCS1 upon IL-8 treatment is delayed. IL-8 and fMLP did not signal via Jak/STATs in primary human macrophages, thus implicating the induction of SOCS by other intracellular pathways. As chemoattractant-induced SOCS1 expression in neutrophils may play an important role in regulating the subsequent response to growth promoting cytokines like G-CSF, we investigated the effect of chemoattractant-induced SOCS1 on cytokine signal transduction. We show that pretreatment of primary human neutrophils with fMLP or IL-8 blocks G-CSF-mediated STAT3 activation. This study provides evidence for cross-talk between chemoattractant and cytokine signal transduction pathways involving SOCS proteins, suggesting that these chemotactic factors may desensitize neutrophils to G-CSF via rapid induction of SOCS1 expression.

Abstract
Coordinated action between cytokines and chemokines is required for effective endocrine and immune responses. Proteins of both families promote receptor oligomerization, activation of the Janus kinase (JAK)/STAT pathway, and transcription of many genes, including the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family. In this study, we show that chemokine-mediated SOCS1 and SOCS3 up-regulation modulates the signaling and function associated to a cytokine receptor, both in vitro and in vivo. The effect is mediated by SOCS binding to JAK2 and to the cytokine receptor, which blocks subsequent signaling events. The data reinforce the premise of cytokine-chemokine cross-talk, which helps contribute to modulating individual responses and in defining the functional plasticity of the immune system.

Abstract
Suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) are cytokine-inducible proteins that modulate receptor signaling via tyrosine kinase pathways. We investigate the role of SOCS in renal disease, analyzing whether SOCS regulate IgG receptor (FcgammaR) signal pathways. In experimental models of immune complex (IC) glomerulonephritis, the renal expression of SOCS family genes, mainly SOCS-3, significantly increased, in parallel with proteinuria and renal lesions, and the proteins were localized in glomeruli and tubulointerstitium. Induction of nephritis in mice with a deficiency in the FcgammaR gamma-chain (gamma(-/-) mice) resulted in a decrease in the renal expression of SOCS-3 and SOCS-1. Moreover, blockade of FcgammaR by Fc fragment administration in rats with ongoing nephritis selectively inhibited SOCS-3 and SOCS-1, without affecting cytokine-inducible Src homology 2-containing protein and SOCS-2. In cultured human mesangial cells (MC) and monocytes, IC caused a rapid and transient induction of SOCS-3 expression. Similar kinetics was observed for SOCS-1, whereas SOCS-2 expression was very low. MC from gamma(-/-) mice failed to respond to IC activation, confirming the participation of FcgammaR. Interestingly, IC induced tyrosine phosphorylation of SOCS-3 and Tec tyrosine kinase, and both proteins coprecipitated in lysates from IC-stimulated MC, suggesting intracellular association. IC also activated STAT pathway in MC, which was suppressed by SOCS overexpression, mainly SOCS-3. In SOCS-3 knockdown studies, specific antisense oligonucleotides inhibited mesangial SOCS-3 expression, leading to an increase in the IC-induced STAT activation. Our results indicate that SOCS may play a regulatory role in FcgammaR signaling, and implicate SOCS as important modulators of cell activation during renal inflammation.

Abstract
To understand the modulation of dendritic cell (DC) function by IL-10, gene expression profiling was performed by using Affymetrix technology (Santa Clara, CA) in human monocyte-derived DC treated with IL-10, alone or in combination with LPS. The modulation of selected genes was validated by real-time PCR, Northern blot, and protein production. IL-10 regulated in DC the expression of a limited number of genes, including IL-7, the receptors for transferrin and vitamin D(3), structural matrix proteins, and signal transduction elements. The combined treatment with LPS plus IL-10 modulated a number of genes comparable to LPS alone, but the expression profiles were distinct. As expected, IL-10 suppressed the expression of several LPS-inducible proinflammatory molecules. Among genes uniquely modulated by the concomitant treatment with LPS plus IL-10, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase gamma was down-regulated while the suppressor of cytokine signaling 3, signaling lymphocytic activation molecule, regulator of G protein signaling 16, and the chemokine, CXC chemokine ligand (CXCL) 13, were up-regulated. Overall, four distinct transcriptional programs were identified, related to: 1) control of immunity and inflammation; 2) tuning of cytokine receptor and G protein-coupled receptor signaling; 3) remodeling of extracellular matrix; and 4) B cell function and lymphoid tissue neogenesis. Among the latter genes, we further demonstrate that IL-10 synergizes with TLR ligands for the production of functionally active B cell-attracting chemokine, CXCL13, in both myeloid and plasmacytoid DC. This novel finding reveals that IL-10 sustains humoral immunity by inducing the production in APCs of the chemokine, CXCL13, which amplifies B cell recruitment and promotes lymphoid tissue neogenesis.

Abstract
Cytokines are an integral component of the adaptive and innate immune responses. The signaling pathways triggered by the engagement of cytokines with their specific cell surface receptors have been extensively studied and have provided a profound understanding of the intracellular machinery that translates exposure of cells to cytokine to a coordinated biological response. It has also become clear that cells have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to prevent excessive responses to cytokines. In this review we focus on the suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family of cytoplasmic proteins that completes a negative feedback loop to attenuate signal transduction from cytokines that act through the janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway. SOCS proteins inhibit components of the cytokine signaling cascade via direct binding or by preventing access to the signaling complex. The SOCS proteins also appear to target signal transducers for proteasomal destruction. Analyses of genetically modified mice in which SOCS proteins are overexpressed or deleted have established that this family of negative regulators has indispensable roles in regulating cytokine responses in cells of the immune system as well as other tissues. Emerging evidence also suggests that disruption of SOCS expression or activity is associated with several immune and inflammatory diseases, raising the prospect that manipulation of SOCS activity may provide a novel future therapeutic strategy in the management of immunological disorders.

Abstract
The chemokine stromal cell-derived factor 1alpha (SDF-1alpha) is a potent stimulator of T cell infiltration into three-dimensional type I collagen matrices as demonstrated using T cells freshly isolated from blood and an activated T cell clone. The neuropeptide somatostatin selectively inhibits SDF-1alpha induced T cell infiltration by the same T cells including CD4 as well as CD8 positive cells, while somatostatin does not inhibit 'spontaneous' T cell infiltration. A number of other neuropeptides and opioids do not inhibit SDF-1alpha-induced T cell infiltration, indicating that the inhibitory effect is somatostatin-specific. The neuropeptide antagonist cyclosomatostatin abrogated the inhibitory effect of somatostatin on T cell infiltration, indicating that the effect of somatostatin is mediated via specific somatostatin receptors. Somatostatin does not inhibit SDF-1alpha-induced T cell attachment to the collagen substrate, which indicates that this neuropeptide specifically inhibits the process of chemokine-induced T cell penetration and migration through the collagen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After hemorrhagic shock, macrophages are less responsive to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) regarding cytokine production and receptor expression. However, mechanisms responsible for this are poorly understood. Suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins have been found to play a prominent role in LPS tolerance and cytokine desensitization in macrophages. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine whether hemorrhagic shock induced SOCS expression. METHODS Male C3H/HeN mice were subjected to hemorrhage or sham hemorrhage. Twenty-four hours after each procedure, tissues were harvested, the cells were processed for protein, and SOCS expression was examined. RESULTS Our data show that SOCS-1 expression does not change after hemorrhage, but SOCS-3 is up-regulated in a tissue and cell population (e.g., macrophage)-specific manner. CONCLUSION These data suggest that cytokines or other inflammatory mediators present during the first 24 hours after the induction of shock have the ability to induce tolerance to LPS or cytokines and suppress the function of immune cells by up-regulating SOCS-3.
