Abstract
Anti-CD36 Abs have been suggested to induce transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) upon blood transfusion, particularly in Asian populations. However, little is known about the pathological mechanism of anti-CD36 Ab-mediated TRALI, and potential therapies have not yet been identified. Here, we developed a murine model of anti-CD36 Ab-mediated TRALI to address these questions. Administration of mouse mAb against CD36 (mAb GZ1) or human anti-CD36 IgG, but not GZ1 F(ab')2 fragments, induced severe TRALI in Cd36+/+ male mice. Predepletion of recipient monocytes or complement, but not neutrophils or platelets, prevented the development of murine TRALI. Moreover, plasma C5a levels after TRALI induction by anti-CD36 Abs increased more than 3-fold, implying a critical role of complement C5 activation in the mechanism of Fc-dependent anti-CD36-mediated TRALI. Administration of GZ1 F(ab')2, antioxidant (N-acetyl cysteine, NAC), or C5 blocker (mAb BB5.1) before TRALI induction completely protected mice from anti-CD36-mediated TRALI. Although no significant amelioration in TRALI was observed when mice were injected with GZ1 F(ab')2 after TRALI induction, significant improvement was achieved when mice were treated postinduction with NAC or anti-C5. Importantly, anti-C5 treatment completely rescued mice from TRALI, suggesting the potential role of existing anti-C5 drugs in the treatment of patients with TRALI caused by anti-CD36.

Abstract
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are increasing in prevalence owing to decreases in physical activity levels and a shift to diets that include addictive and/or high-calorie foods. These changes are associated with the adoption of modern lifestyles and the presence of an obesogenic environment, which have resulted in alterations to metabolism, adaptive immunity and endocrine regulation. The size and quality of adipose tissue depots in obesity, including the adipose tissue immune compartment, are critical determinants of overall health. In obesity, chronic low-grade inflammation can occur in adipose tissue that can progress to systemic inflammation; this inflammation contributes to the development of insulin resistance, T2DM and other comorbidities. An improved understanding of adaptive immune cell dysregulation that occurs during obesity and its associated metabolic comorbidities, with an appreciation of sex differences, will be critical for repurposing or developing immunomodulatory therapies to treat obesity and/or T2DM-associated inflammation. This Review critically discusses how activation and metabolic reprogramming of lymphocytes, that is, T cells and B cells, triggers the onset, development and progression of obesity and T2DM. We also consider the role of immunity in under-appreciated comorbidities of obesity and/or T2DM, such as oral cavity inflammation, neuroinflammation in Alzheimer disease and gut microbiome dysbiosis. Finally, we discuss previous clinical trials of anti-inflammatory medications in T2DM and consider the path forward.

Abstract
In order to ascertain the significance of transmembrane tumor necrosis factor (tmTNF) reverse signaling in vivo, we generated a triple transgenic mouse model (3TG, TNFR1−/−, TNFR2−/−, and tmTNFKI/KI) in which all canonical tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling was abolished. In bone-marrow-derived macrophages harvested from these mice, various anti-TNF biologics induced the expression of genes characteristic of alternative macrophages and also inhibited the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines mainly through the upregulation of arginase-1. Injections of TNF inhibitors during arthritis increased pro-resolutive markers in bone marrow precursors and joint cells leading to a decrease in arthritis score. These results demonstrate that the binding of anti-TNF biologics to tmTNF results in decreased arthritis severity. Collectively, our data provide evidence for the significance of tmTNF reverse signaling in the modulation of arthritis. They suggest a complementary interpretation of anti-TNF biologics effects in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and pave the way to studies focused on new arginase-1-dependent therapeutic targets. In vivo demonstration of tmTNF reverses signaling existence tmTNF reverse signaling induces anti-oxidative stress response tmTNF reverse signaling induces an arginase-1-mediated anti-inflammatory response Reverse signaling is a complementary mechanism to TNF neutralization by anti-TNF

Abstract
ER is a highly specialized complex of branched microtubules enclosed in a membrane and communicating with each other, its functions in the cell are important and very diverse: lipid and phospholipid synthesis, calcium storage, hormone synthesis, protein synthesis and maturation, membrane production, toxin neutralization, etc. The high concentration of calcium ions and the oxidizing properties of the contents of the ER cavities contribute to the proper synthesis and folding of proteins designed for secretion or exposure on the surface of the cell membrane. However, disturbance of redox regulation can lead to the accumulation of improperly folded proteins in the ER, disruption of calcium regulation, which can cause ER-stress. This review is devoted to the role of ER-resident selenoproteins in the processes occurring in this organelle of a cell. The main emphasis is placed on the study of protein-protein interactions of selenoproteins with their physiological partners; this will facilitate understanding of their functional purpose in this organelle. Currently, 7 selenoproteins are known that are localized in the ER, but the functions of most of them are not at all clear, for some, physiological partners have been identified. It is known that selenoproteins are oxidoreductases with antioxidant properties, this is extremely important for the normal functioning of ER. Therefore, this review can be very useful for understanding the full picture of the functions of ER-resident selenoproteins obtained on the basis of recent data.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder with multiple comorbidities. The most common comorbidities are mental disorders, especially depression, which can interact negatively with psoriasis to produce a dangerous vicious circle. Depression in psoriasis has traditionally been explained as a response to psychosocial factors and impaired quality of life. However, a new hypothesis linking depression and psoriasis through chronic inflammation offers insights that should help to understand and treat these diseases. In this approach, new drugs and lifestyle have an important role.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti TNF drugs have been widely used in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but only 70 to 80 % of patients respond to this therapy. Exploring the mode of action of anti-TNF drugs remains important in order to improve the efficiency of the treatment and enhance our knowledge of inflammation. TNF-α exists as classical soluble cytokine as well as transmembrane protein (tmTNF-α). Evidence suggests that tmTNF-α can induce reverse signaling. In the present study, we have explored consequences of reverse signaling in human monocytes using certolizumab pegol (CZP). METHODS Monocytes were purified from healthy blood donors and were incubated with CZP. Nuclear translocation of Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) was evaluated by wide-field microscopy and cell fractionation. Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) was assessed by RT-qPCR and western blot. Monocytes were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). IL-1β was quantitated by RT-qPCR. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were evaluated by flow cytometry using the H2DCFDA fluorescent marker. RESULTS CZP induced rapid minimal ROS production and Nrf2 nuclear translocation. This was followed by HO-1 mRNA and protein production. IL-1β induction by LPS was inhibited at the mRNA and protein level. At a later time-point, CZP was able to counteract the strong production of ROS induced by LPS. Reverse signaling was suggested by short kinetics of Nrf2 translocation, extensive washing of CZP and the use of anti-TNF-Rs antibodies. CONCLUSION Our data suggest a novel mechanism of ROS modulation by CZP. This observation sheds new light on the function of reverse signaling and on potential mechanisms of action of anti-TNF drugs.

Abstract
Introduction Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) blocking agents may be associated with neurological adverse events, including demyelinating syndromes, that can be difficult to differentiate from multiple sclerosis (MS) and clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) as neither the clinical nor laboratory distinctive features have been reported. Usually clinicians mainly examine the diagnostic value of immunoglobulin G oligoclonal bands underestimating the value of other cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) parameters (such as CSF cytology). Case Report We present a case of a patient who acutely developed mild pyramidal and sensory impairment of lower limbs and urinary hesitancy during treatment with adalimumab, a monoclonal antibody to TNF-α, for psoriatic arthritis. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a widespread area of hyperintense signal extending from C5 to D8 level in T2-weighted images. Two consecutive CSF examinations showed an intense activation of monocyte/macrophage lineage (88% and 90%, respectively) with some giant and binucleated cells that notably decreased five months after TNF-α blocker cessation. We compared the results of CSF examinations of our patient with CSF results of 20 patients with MS and 20 patients with CIS that demonstrated activation of both lymphocytic and monocytic lineage (MS: 48% and 52%, respectively, CIS: 54.5% and 43.5%, respectively) that were very different from the findings in adalimumab-related encephalomyelitis in acute phase (11% and 89%, respectively). CSF cytology in two patients with neuromyelitis optica during the relapse (n = 3) showed minor monocyte/macrophage activation (9%) and an increased number of granulocytes (77%). Conclusion Prominent activation of monocyte/macrophage lineage with some binucleated giant cells in CSF could be induced by anti-TNF-α treatment. The peculiar CSF pattern, never found in MS, CIS, and NMO, can help in differential diagnosis and stresses the importance of careful CSF cytology evaluation in the course of demyelinating diseases.

Abstract
Liver receptor homologue-1 (LRH-1) is a nuclear receptor involved in the repression of inflammatory processes in the hepatointestinal tract. Here we report that LRH-1 is expressed in macrophages and induced by the Th2 cytokine IL-13 via a mechanism involving STAT6. We show that loss-of-function of LRH-1 in macrophages impedes IL-13-induced macrophage polarization due to impaired generation of 15-HETE PPARγ ligands. The incapacity to generate 15-HETE metabolites is at least partially caused by the compromised regulation of CYP1A1 and CYP1B1. Mice with LRH-1-deficient macrophages are, furthermore, highly susceptible to gastrointestinal and systemic Candida albicans infection. Altogether, these results identify LRH-1 as a critical component of the anti-inflammatory and fungicidal response of alternatively activated macrophages that acts upstream from the IL-13-induced 15-HETE/PPARγ axis.

Abstract
Recent studies underline the potential relevance of microglial innate immune activation in Alzheimer disease. Primary mouse microglia that lack prostaglandin E2 receptor subtype 2 (EP2) show decreased innate immune-mediated neurotoxicity and increased amyloid β (Aβ) peptide phagocytosis, features that were replicated in vivo. Here, we tested the hypothesis that scavenger receptor CD36 is an effector of EP2-regulated Aβ phagocytosis. CD36 expression was 143-fold greater in mouse primary microglia than in primary astrocytes. Three different means of suppressing EP2 signaling increased and an agonist of EP2 decreased CD36 expression in primary wild-type microglia. Activation of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 3, TLR4, and TLR7, but not TLR2 or TLR9, reduced primary microglial CD36 transcription and cell surface CD36 protein and reduced Aβ42 phagocytosis as well. At each step, the effects of innate immune activation on CD36 were reversed by at least 50% by an EP2 antagonist, and this partial rescue of microglia Aβ42 phagocytosis was largely mediated by CD36 activity. Finally, we showed in hippocampus of wild-type mice that innate immune activation suppressed CD36 expression by an EP2-dependent mechanism. Taken together with results of others that found brain clearance of Aβ peptides and behavioral improvements mediated by CD36 in mice, regulation of CD36-mediated Aβ phagocytosis by suppression of EP2 signaling may provide a new approach to suppressing some aspects of Alzheimer disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Telomere malfunction and other types of DNA damage induce an activin A-dependent stress response in mortal nontumorigenic human mammary epithelial cells that subsequently induces desmoplastic-like phenotypes in neighboring fibroblasts. Some characteristics of this fibroblast/stromal response, such as reduced adipocytes and increased extracellular matrix content, are observed not only in tumor tissues but also in disease-free breast tissues at high risk for developing cancer, especially high mammographic density tissues. We found that these phenotypes are induced by repression of the fatty acid translocase CD36, which is seen in desmoplastic and disease-free high mammographic density tissues. In this study, we show that epithelial cells from high mammographic density tissues have more DNA damage signaling, shorter telomeres, increased activin A secretion and an altered DNA damage response compared with epithelial cells from low mammographic density tissues. Strikingly, both telomere malfunction and activin A expression in epithelial cells can repress CD36 expression in adjacent fibroblasts. These results provide new insights into how high mammographic density arises and why it is associated with breast cancer risk, with implications for the definition of novel invention targets (e.g., activin A and CD36) to prevent breast cancer.

Low levels of CD36 in peripheral blood monocytes in subclinical atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis: a cross-sectional study in a Mexican population. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2014; 2014:736786. [PMID: 25006585 PMCID: PMC4070538 DOI: 10.1155/2014/736786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2014] [Revised: 05/13/2014] [Accepted: 05/13/2014] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a higher risk for atherosclerosis. There is no clinical information about scavenger receptor CD36 and the development of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with RA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between membrane expression of CD36 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in patients with RA. METHODS We included 67 patients with RA from the Rheumatology Department of Hospital Civil "Dr. Juan I. Menchaca," Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. We evaluated the cIMT, considering subclinical atherosclerosis when >0.6 mm. Since our main objective was to associate the membrane expression of CD36 with subclinical atherosclerosis, other molecules related with cardiovascular risk such as ox-LDL, IL-6, and TNFα were tested. RESULTS We found low CD36 membrane expression in PBMC from RA patients with subclinical atherosclerosis (P < 0.001). CD36 mean fluorescence intensity had negative correlations with cIMT (r = -0.578, P < 0.001), ox-LDL (r = -0.427, P = 0.05), TNFα (r = -0.729, P < 0.001), and IL-6 (r = -0.822, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION RA patients with subclinical atherosclerosis showed low membrane expression of CD36 in PBMC and increased serum proinflammatory cytokines. Further studies are needed to clarify the regulation of CD36 in RA.

Abstract
Monocytes and macrophages utilize the class A and B scavenger receptors to recognize and perform phagocytosis of invading microbes before a pathogen-specific immune response is generated. HIV-1 Nef protein affects the innate immune system impairing oxidative burst response and phagocytic capacity of macrophages. Our data show that exogenous recombinant myristoylated Nef protein induces a marked CD36 downregulation in monocytes from Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells, in Monocyte-Derived Macrophages (MDMs) differentiated by cytokines and in MDMs contained in a mixed culture obtained expanding PBMCs under Human Erythroid Massive Amplification condition. Under the latter culture condition we identify three main populations after 6 days of expansion: lymphocytes (37.8±14.7%), erythroblasts (46.7±6.1%) and MDMs (15.7±7.5%). The Nef addition to the cell culture significantly downregulates CD36 expression in MDMs, but not in erythroid cells. Furthermore, CD36 inhibition is highly specific since it does not modify the expression levels of other MDM markers such as CD14, CD11c, CD86, CD68, CD206, Toll-like Receptor 2 and Toll-like Receptor 4. Similar results were obtained in MDMs infected with VSV-G pseudotyped HIV-1-expressing Nef. The reduced CD36 membrane expression is associated with decrease of correspondent CD36 mRNA transcript. Furthermore, Nef-induced CD36 downregulation is linked to both impaired scavenger activity with reduced capability to take up oxidized lipoproteins and to significant decreased phagocytosis of fluorescent beads and GFP-expressing Salmonella tiphymurium. In addition we observed that Nef induces TNF-α release in MDMs. Although these data suggest a possible involvement of TNF-α in mediating Nef activity, our results exclude a possible relationship between Nef-induced TNF-α release and Nef-mediated CD36 downregulation. The present work shows that HIV-1 Nef protein may have a role in the strategies elaborated by HIV-1 to alter pathogen disease outcomes, by modulating CD36 expression in macrophages, favoring the onset of opportunistic infections in HIV-1 infected people.

Abstract
Gliomas are the most common type of primary tumor in the central nervous system and are characterized by abundant capillary angiogenesis. It is important to study the underlying molecular mechanisms of angiogenesis in order to aid the identification of potential therapeutic targets. The aim of the current study was to investigate the expression levels of thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) in gliomas, and determine their relationships with angiogenesis. Immunohistochemical methods were used to detect TSP-1, TGF-β and PPAR-γ expression levels and to assess microvascular density (MVD) in 99 glioma tissue samples of various grades. The total positive expression rates of TSP-1 and PPAR-γ were 78.4 and 94.1% in low-grade gliomas and 45.8 and 39.6% in high-grade gliomas. These values suggest that their expression negatively correlated with tumor grade. However, TGF-β expression positively correlated with tumor grade; the total positive expression rate of TGF-β in high-grade gliomas (93.8%) was significantly increased compared with that in low-grade gliomas (43.1%). The MVD in the low-grade group was 28±7.2 vessels/field, which was significantly lower than in the high-grade group (45±6.2 vessels/field). TSP-1 and PPAR-γ expression levels were negatively correlated with MVD (P<0.05), while the TGF-β expression level was positively correlated with MVD (P<0.05). These results indicate that the TSP-1, TGF-β and PPAR-γ expression levels in gliomas are correlated with MVD, which suggests that these proteins may be involved in the regulation of glioma angiogenesis.

Abstract
Selk is an ER transmembrane protein important for calcium flux and macrophage activation, but its role in foam cell formation and atherosclerosis has not been evaluated. BMDMs from Selk(-/-) mice exhibited decreased uptake of modLDL and foam cell formation compared with WT controls, and the differences were eliminated with anti-CD36 blocking antibody. CD36 expression was decreased in TNF-α-stimulated Selk(-/-) BMDMs compared with WT controls. Fluorescence microscopy revealed TNF-α-induced clustering of CD36 in WT BMDMs indicative of lipid raft localization, which was absent in Selk(-/-) BMDMs. Fractionation revealed lower levels of CD36 reaching lipid rafts in TNF-α-stimulated Selk(-/-) BMDMs. Immunoprecipitation showed that Selk(-/-) BMDMs have decreased CD36 palmitoylation, which occurs at the ER membrane and is crucial for stabilizing CD36 expression and directing its localization to lipid rafts. To assess if this phenomenon had a role in atherogenesis, a HFD was fed to irradiated Ldlr(-/-) mice reconstituted with BM from Selk(-/-) or WT mice. Selk was detected in aortic plaques of controls, particularly in macrophages. Selk(-/-) in immune cells led to reduction in atherosclerotic lesion formation without affecting leukocyte migration into the arterial wall. These findings suggest that Selk is important for stable, localized expression of CD36 in macrophages during inflammation, thereby contributing to foam cell formation and atherogenesis.

Abstract
Biotherapies have revolutionized the treatment of RA. However, much work is needed to understand all the mechanisms of these biotherapies, and alternatives are needed to circumvent adverse effects and the high cost of these long-lasting treatments. In this article we outline some of the approaches we have used to target monocytes/macrophages as major components of inflammation and bone homeostasis. We also discuss how anti-TNF-α antibodies target monocytes/macrophages in the complex mechanisms contributing to inhibition of inflammation.

Abstract
Background Gold salts has previously been used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis but have been replaced by biologicals such as TNF-α inhibitors. The mechanisms behind the anti-inflammatory effect of metallic gold ions are still unknown, however, recent data showed that charged gold atoms are released from pure metallic gold implants by macrophages via a dissolucytosis membrane, and that gold ions are taken up by local macrophages, mast cells and to some extent fibroblasts. These findings open the question of possible immunomodulatory effects of metallic gold and motivate efforts on a deeper understanding of the effect of metallic gold on key inflammatory cells as macrophages. Methods Human macrophage cells (cell line THP-1) were grown on gold foils and intracellular uptake was analysed by autometallography. The impact of phagocytised gold ions on viability of THP-1 cells was investigated by trypan blue staining and TUNEL assay. The global gene expression profile of THP-1 cells after incorporation of gold ions was studied using microarray analysis comprising approximately 20,000 genes. The gene expression data was confirmed by measurement of secreted proteins. Results Autometallography showed intracellular uptake of gold ions into THP-1 cells. No significant effect on viability of THP-1 cells was demonstrated. Our data revealed a unique gene expression signature of dissolucytotic THP-1 cells that had taken up gold ions. A large number of regulated genes were functionally related to immunomodulation. Gold ion uptake induced downregulation of genes involved in rheumatoid arthritis such as hepatocyte growth factor, tenascin-C, inhibitor of DNA binding 1 and 3 and matrix metalloproteinase 13. Conclusion The data obtained in this study offer new insights into the mode of action of gold ions and suggest for the investigation of effects on other key cells and a possible future role of metallic gold as implants in rheumatoid arthritis or other inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Macrophages are centrally involved during atherosclerosis development and are the predominant cell type that accumulates cholesterol in the plaque. Macrophages however, are heterogeneous in nature reflecting a variety of microenvironments and different phenotypes may be more prone to contribute towards atherosclerosis progression. Using primary human monocyte-derived macrophages, we sought to evaluate one aspect of atherogenic potential of different macrophage phenotypes by determining their propensity to associate with and accumulate oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL). Classically-activated macrophages treated simultaneously with interferon γ (IFNγ) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) associated with less oxLDL and accumulated less cholesterol compared to untreated controls. The combined treatment of IFNγ and TNFα reduced the mRNA expression of CD36 and the expression of both cell surface CD36 and macrophage scavenger receptor 1 (MSR1) protein. Under oxLDL loaded conditions, IFNγ and TNFα did not reduce macrophage protein expression of the transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-actived receptor γ (PPARγ) which is known to positively regulate CD36 expression. However, macrophages treated with IFNγ attenuated the ability of the PPARγ-specific agonist rosiglitazone from upregulating cell surface CD36 protein expression. Our results demonstrate that the observed reduction of cholesterol accumulation in macrophages treated with IFNγ and TNFα following oxLDL treatment was due at least in part to reduced cell surface CD36 and MSR1 protein expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify candidate genes that are regulated by human pregnancy and have the potential to modulate rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity. METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy pregnant volunteers were analyzed using Affymetrix GeneChips at 4 time points (during the first, second, and third trimesters and 6 weeks postpartum). Based on the GeneChip data, target genes were further analyzed via real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) using PBMCs from healthy controls and RA patients. In order to determine the cellular source of the candidate gene messenger RNA (mRNA), monocytes and lymphocytes from healthy controls and RA patients were positively selected using magnetic beads, and their mRNA was analyzed by qPCR. RESULTS One-way analysis of variance identified 1,286 mRNAs that were differentially expressed with regard to the 4 time points. The changes became more pronounced as pregnancy progressed, and they were reversed postpartum. A subsequent pathway analysis suggested a regulatory role of pregnancy on the adipocytokine pathway as well as on the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway. Of 19 preselected candidate genes, AKT3, SOCS3, FADS2, STAT1, and CD36 proved to be differentially regulated by pregnancy. In samples from RA patients, the differences were concordant with those in healthy controls but more pronounced. Both T lymphocytes and monocytes contributed to the regulated expression of these genes. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that normal human pregnancy leads to changes in the expression of several molecular pathways in PBMCs, which are reversed postpartum. Changes in RA patients, although concordant, exceed the levels observed in healthy controls. Genes of the adipocytokine and PPAR signaling pathways qualify as candidates for the modulation of RA disease activity during pregnancy.

Abstract
TLR recognition activates the secretion of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and it also modulates the expression of crucial molecules involved in phagocytosis and antimicrobial activity. Scavenger receptors can act as TLR co-receptors or facilitate antigen loading. However, it remains unknown whether TLR can modulate the expression of these scavenger receptors. We stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with TLR2 (Pam3CSK4 and FSL1) and TLR4 ligand lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and then analyzed CD36 expression on different monocyte subpopulations by flow cytometry. TLR2 and TLR4 ligands can downregulate CD36 on the surface of monocytes, guiding the protein to intracellular compartments. Even though TLR-activation induced TNFα, IL-10 and IL-6 production, only recombinant TNFα was able to downregulate CD36. Neutralizing anti-TNFα antibodies showed that the Pam3CSK4 and FSL1-induced downregulation was partially mediated by TNFα but not by IL-6 or IL-10. However, LPS-induced downregulation could have also been caused by direct TLR4 targeting and signaling, and/or mediated by other unknown factors. CD36 downregulation reduced the capability of monocytes to phagocyte apoptotic neutrophils. In conclusion, modulation of scavenger receptor expression by TLR targeting on monocytes has functional consequences. Characterization this complex regulation may help us to understand this innate response and develop specific therapeutic drugs for each mechanism.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Although high mammographic density is considered one of the strongest risk factors for invasive breast cancer, the genes involved in modulating this clinical feature are unknown. Tissues of high mammographic density share key histologic features with stromal components within malignant lesions of tumor tissues, specifically low adipocyte and high extracellular matrix (ECM) content. We show that CD36, a transmembrane receptor that coordinately modulates multiple protumorigenic phenotypes, including adipocyte differentiation, angiogenesis, cell-ECM interactions, and immune signaling, is greatly repressed in multiple cell types of disease-free stroma associated with high mammographic density and tumor stroma. Using both in vitro and in vivo assays, we show that CD36 repression is necessary and sufficient to recapitulate the above-mentioned phenotypes observed in high mammographic density and tumor tissues. Consistent with a functional role for this coordinated program in tumorigenesis, we observe that clinical outcomes are strongly associated with CD36 expression. SIGNIFICANCE CD36 simultaneously controls adipocyte content and matrix accumulation and is coordinately repressed in multiple cell types within tumor and high mammographic density stroma, suggesting that activation of this stromal program is an early event in tumorigenesis. Levels of CD36 and extent of mammographic density are both modifiable factors that provide potential for intervention.

Abstract
CD36 is the major receptor mediating nonopsonic phagocytosis of Plasmodium falciparum-parasitized erythrocytes by macrophages. Its expression on macrophages is mainly controlled by the nuclear receptor PPARγ. Here, we demonstrate that inflammatory processes negatively regulate CD36 expression on human and murine macrophages, and hence decrease Plasmodium clearance directly favoring the worsening of malaria infection. This CD36 downregulation in inflammatory conditions is associated with a failure in the expression and activation of PPARγ. Interestingly, using siRNA mediating knock down of Nrf2 in macrophages or Nrf2- and PPARγ-deficient macrophages, we establish that in inflammatory conditions, the Nrf2 transcription factor controls CD36 expression independently of PPARγ. In these conditions, Nrf2 activators, but not PPARγ ligands, enhance CD36 expression and CD36-mediated Plasmodium phagocytosis. These results were confirmed in human macrophages and in vivo where only Nrf2 activators improve the outcome of severe malaria. Collectively, this report highlights that the Nrf2 transcription factor could be an alternative target to PPARγ in the control of severe malaria through parasite clearance. Severe and fatal malaria is still increasing both in incidence and in its resistance to antimalarial agents. The improved understanding of immune mechanisms mediating Plasmodium elimination might therefore offer a complementary way to conventional therapeutic interventions. The main host innate immune defense mechanism against Plasmodium falciparum is the engulfment by macrophages through CD36, the macrophage receptor recognizing infected erythrocytes. The up-regulation of CD36 on macrophages therefore represents an alternative way to favor parasite clearance during infection. Severe malaria infection is associated with an excessive production of proinflammatory markers and an inability to control parasite proliferation. We demonstrate here that malaria-induced inflammation down regulates CD36 expression on macrophages and favors the worsening of malaria infection. The conventional way to promote CD36 expression through PPARγ nuclear receptor is inefficient under malaria inflammatory processes. Interestingly, we establish that the Nrf2 transcription factor may substitute PPARγ to promote CD36 expression and its associated functions in inflammatory conditions. As a consequence, only Nrf2 but not PPARγ activators improve the outcome of severe malaria in vivo. This paper which highlights a new area of application for Nrf2 activators in infectious diseases, heralds the emergence of a new therapeutic strategy against severe malaria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation, an important mechanism in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF), can be regulated by CD36 in monocytes. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that CD36 in monocytes contributes to the pathogenesis of AF. METHODS A prospective study that enrolled 87 patients with AF and 70 without AF was conducted. RESULTS Compared to patients without AF, patients with AF had monocytes with a lower level of CD36 protein, which correlated with left atrial diameter, left atrial emptying fraction, and left atrial mean voltage. In AF patients after catheter ablation, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the sinus rhythm maintenance rate was higher in patients with high CD36 levels. Low CD36 level was an independent predictor of recurrence. After successful ablation, the CD36 level increased by 57%, reaching that of control patients. CD36 level was not correlated with the level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Analysis of mRNA levels from a buffy coat revealed that AF patients had lower CD36 and interleukin-10 levels and higher peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α levels, with CD36 level positively correlated with interleukin-10 level but inversely correlated with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α levels. CONCLUSION Low CD36 levels in circulating monocytes were associated with AF occurrence and predicted recurrence after catheter ablation. The link between CD36 and AF identified a novel AF-related inflammatory pathway.

Abstract
Major improvements have been made in mRNA quantification and internal standard selection over the last decade. Our aim in this paper is to present the main developments that are of interest for practical laboratory work, contrasting the situation as it is now with the one of ten years ago, and presenting some excellent examples of what can be done today. Specifically, we will mainly discuss Real-Time RT-PCR major improvements that have been performed in the following areas: the most commonly used quantification techniques, the mathematical and software tools created to help researchers in their work on internal standard selection, the availability of detection chemistries and technical information and of commercial tools and services. In addition to mRNA quantification, we will also discuss some aspects of non-coding RNA and protein quantification. In addition to technical improvements, the development of international cooperation and the creation of technical databases are likely to represent a major tool for the future in the standardization of gene expression quantification.

Abstract
Neovascular and degenerative diseases of the eye are leading causes of impaired vision and blindness in the world. Hypoxia or reduced oxygen tension is considered central to the pathogenesis of these disorders. Although the CD36 scavenger receptor features prominently in ocular homeostasis and pathology, little is known regarding its modulation by hypoxia. Herein we investigated the role and regulation of CD36 by hypoxia and by the major hypoxia effector, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1. In vivo, hypoxia markedly induced CD36 mRNA in corneal and retinal tissue. Subsequent experiments on human retinal pigment epithelial cells revealed that hypoxia time-dependently increased CD36 mRNA, protein, and surface expression; these responses were reliant upon reactive oxygen species production. As an important novel finding, we demonstrate that hypoxic stimulation of CD36 is mediated by HIF-1; HIF-1alpha down-regulation abolished CD36 induction by both hypoxia and cobalt chloride. Sequence analysis of the human CD36 promoter region revealed a functional HIF-1 binding site. A luciferase reporter construct containing this promoter fragment was activated by hypoxia, whereas mutation at the HIF-1 consensus site decreased promoter activation. Specific binding of HIF-1 to this putative site in hypoxic cells was detected by a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. Interestingly, inhibition of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway blocked the hypoxia-dependent induction of CD36 expression and promoter activity. Functional ramifications of CD36 hypoxic accumulation were evinced by CD36-dependent increases in scavenging and anti-angiogenic activities. Together, our findings indicate a novel mechanism by which hypoxia induces CD36 expression via activation of HIF-1 and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway.

Abstract
Human endothelial cells (EC) express Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a receptor for lipopolysaccharides (LPS), but little or no TLR2, a lipopeptide receptor. The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent inflammatory stimuli modify the expression by EC of TLR4 and TLR2, of the TLR2 co-receptors TLR1 and TLR6 and of the TLR2-accessory proteins CD14 and CD36. Stimulation of umbilical vein derived EC with TNF-alpha, LPS or IL-1beta for 24h induced a strong increase in TLR2 mRNA but not in TLR1, TLR4 and TLR6 mRNA. Inflammatory activation had little effect on CD14 mRNA, but decreased the expression of CD36 mRNA. TLR2 antigen was readily detected by flow cytometry on activated EC, but not on resting EC. A significant proportion of TLR2 was found to be located intracellularly. By using specific signalling pathway inhibitors we established that the induction of TLR2 by inflammatory stimuli was dependent on NF-kappaB, p38-MAP kinase and c-Jun kinase. IRAK-1 phosphorylation after treatment with 10mug/ml of lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a TLR2 agonist, was only observed in TNF-alpha-stimulated EC and not in resting EC. Furthermore, LTA potentiated the increase of the inflammatory markers E-Selectin or IL-8 in EC pre-treated with TNF-alpha, LPS or IL-1beta, but not in resting EC. These results imply that the up-regulated TLR2 is functionally active. Interestingly, LTA had no effect on TLR2 expression, nor maintained TLR2 expression, in activated EC. This suggests that lipopeptide responses of EC are dependent on the continued presence of inflammatory cytokines, provided by other cell types, or LPS. In conclusion, inflammatory stimuli induce a high TLR2 expression in EC, which in turn enables the cells to strongly respond to lipopeptides. The up-regulation of TLR2 may be of relevance for the vascular effects of Gram-positive bacteria.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that lymphocyte-derived microparticles (LMPs) impair endothelial cell function. However, no data currently exist regarding the contribution of LMPs in the regulation of angiogenesis. In the present study, we investigated the effects of LMPs on angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro and demonstrated that LMPs strongly suppressed aortic ring microvessel sprouting and in vivo corneal neovascularization. In vitro, LMPs considerably diminished human umbilical vein endothelial cell survival and proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. Mechanistically, the antioxidants U-74389G and U-83836E were partially protective against the antiproliferative effects of LMPs, whereas the NADPH oxidase (NOX) inhibitors apocynin and diphenyleneiodonium significantly abrogated these effects. Moreover, LMPs increased not only the expression of the NOX subunits gp91(phox), p22(phox), and p47(phox), but also the production of ROS and NOX-derived superoxide (O(2)(-)). Importantly, LMPs caused a pronounced augmentation in the protein expression of the CD36 antiangiogenic receptor while significantly downregulating the protein levels of VEGF receptor type 2 and its downstream signaling mediator, phosphorylated ERK1/2. In summary, LMPs potently suppress neovascularization in vivo and in vitro by augmenting ROS generation via NOX and interfering with the VEGF signaling pathway.
