Abstract
CD200 is an anti-inflammatory protein that facilitates signal transduction through its receptor, CD200R, in cells, resulting in immune response suppression. This includes reducing M1-like macrophages, enhancing M2-like macrophages, inhibiting NK cell cytotoxicity, and downregulating CTL responses. Activation of CD200R has been found to modulate dendritic cells, leading to the induction or enhancement of Treg cells expressing Foxp3. However, the precise mechanisms behind this process are still unclear. Our previous study demonstrated that B cells in Peyer's patches can induce Treg cells, so-called Treg-of-B (P) cells, through STAT6 phosphorylation. This study aimed to investigate the role of CD200 in Treg-of-B (P) cell generation. To clarify the mechanisms, we used wild-type, STAT6 deficient, and IL-24 deficient T cells to generate Treg-of-B (P) cells, and antagonist antibodies (anti-CD200 and anti-IL-20RB), an agonist anti-CD200R antibody, CD39 inhibitors (ARL67156 and POM-1), a STAT6 inhibitor (AS1517499), and soluble IL-20RB were also applied. Our findings revealed that Peyer's patch B cells expressed CD200 to activate the CD200R on T cells and initiate the process of Treg-of-B (P) cells generation. CD200 and CD200R interaction triggers the phosphorylation of STAT6, which regulated the expression of CD200R, CD39, and IL-24 in T cells. CD39 regulated the expression of IL-24, which sustained the expression of CD223 and IL-10 and maintained the cell viability. In summary, the generation of Treg-of-B (P) cells by Peyer's patch B cells was through the CD200R-STAT6-CD39-IL-24 axis pathway.

Abstract
Introduction At lung mucosal surfaces, immune cells must initiate inflammatory response against pathogen without inducing tissue damage. Loss of this equilibrium can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a severe lung inflammatory disease characterized by excessive inflammation and dysregulation of anti-inflammatory pathways. Methods To investigate the role of anti-inflammatory pathway CD200/CD200R in lung inflammatory response, we administered LPS intratracheally in CD200 KO and wild type (WT) rats. Inflammation was evaluated using bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cellularity. Lung injury was measured by total protein level in BAL fluid, and levels of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF, IL-6) and chemokines (CXCL2, CCL2) were determined in BAL supernatants. In a second series of experiments, recombinant CD200Fc was administered to KO rats to restore the anti-inflammatory response. Results At baseline, CD200 KO rats did not show sign of inflammation, however KO rats had lower number of alveolar macrophages. In addition, LPS administration induced greater pulmonary edema in CD200 KO rats. This was accompanied with a higher recruitment of neutrophils as well as levels of TNF, IL-6, CXCL2, and CCL2 in BAL compared to WT rats. CD200Fc administration in KO rats reduced neutrophil accumulation and TNF and CXCL2 levels in BAL. Interestingly, the increased inflammatory response of CD200 KO rats could be attributed to greater activation potential of alveolar macrophages with higher levels of ERK and P-ERK MAPK. Conclusion This study shows that lung inflammatory response is exacerbated in absence of CD200 in an experimental model of ARDS in rats. In addition, CD200/CD200R pathway shows selective regulation of acute lung inflammation and cannot completely abrogate the complex LPS-induced inflammatory response. However, addition of CD200 agonist in a multi-target therapy strategy could have beneficial impacts.

Abstract
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) have been recommended as promising candidate for cell-based therapeutic applications due to high potentials in tissue repair/regeneration and modulation of immune responses. The gene expression change strategy by natural plant enhancers is an available opportunity to improve the stemness properties of these cells. The objective of this research was the evaluation of Crocin effects (saffron plant's bioactive compound) on immunoregulation and tissue regeneration-related biomarkers expression in human DPSCs. Based on the results of cell viability assay, application of 400 μM and lower concentrations of Crocin had no toxic effects on DPSCs; however, the time-dependent cytotoxic effects were observed at higher concentrations. This study, probably for the first time, detected the surface expression of CD200 in DPSCs with a slight time-dependent upward trend and reported that treatment with Crocin could increase expression of this macromolecule up to many times over. Also, it revealed that this carotenoid significantly led to the time-dependent upregulation of dentin sialophosphoprotein, vascular endothelial growth factor A, human leukocyte antigen-G5, and signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs); however, this significant upregulation for STAT3 occurred, followed by a remarkable reduction. The results of this study indicated that cell treatment with Crocin may be effective in improving the stemness capacities of DPSCs. Therefore, the study provided basis for more insights into the biological effects of Crocin on DPSCs that it may aid in the future improvement of mesenchymal stem cell-based therapies.

Abstract
Both virulent and live-attenuated porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) strains can establish persistent infection in lymphoid tissues of pigs. To investigate the mechanisms of PRRSV persistence, we performed a transcriptional analysis of inguinal lymphoid tissue collected from pigs experimentally infected with an attenuated PRRSV strain at 46 days post infection. A total of 6404 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected of which 3960 DEGs were upregulated and 2444 DEGs were downregulated. Specifically, genes involved in innate immune responses and chemokines and receptors associated with T-cell homing to lymphoid tissues were down regulated. As a result, homing of virus-specific T-cells to lymphoid tissues seems to be ineffective, evidenced by the lower frequencies of virus-specific T-cell in lymphoid tissue than in peripheral blood. Genes associated with T-cell exhaustion were upregulated. Likewise, genes involved in the anti-apoptotic pathway were upregulated. Collectively, the data suggested that the live-attenuated PRRSV strain establishes a pro-survival microenvironment in lymphoid tissue by suppressing innate immune responses, T-cell homing, and preventing cell apoptosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Advances in immunotherapy have revolutionized care for some patients with cancer. However, current checkpoint inhibitors are associated with significant toxicity and yield poor responses for patients with central nervous system tumors, calling into question whether cancer immunotherapy can be applied to glioblastoma multiforme. We determined that targeting the CD200 activation receptors (CD200AR) of the CD200 checkpoint with a peptide inhibitor (CD200AR-L) overcomes tumor-induced immunosuppression. We have shown the clinical efficacy of the CD200AR-L in a trial in companion dogs with spontaneous high-grade glioma. Addition of the peptide to autologous tumor lysate vaccines significantly increased the median overall survival to 12.7 months relative to tumor lysate vaccines alone, 6.36 months. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN This study was developed to elucidate the mechanism of the CD200ARs and develop a humanized peptide inhibitor. We developed macrophage cell lines with each of four CD200ARs knocked out to determine their binding specificity and functional response. Using proteomics, we developed humanized CD200AR-L to explore their effects on cytokine/chemokine response, dendritic cell maturation and CMV pp65 antigen response in human CD14+ cells. GMP-grade peptide was further validated for activity. RESULTS We demonstrated that the CD200AR-L specifically targets a CD200AR complex. Moreover, we developed and validated a humanized CD200AR-L for inducing chemokine response, stimulating immature dendritic cell differentiation and significantly enhanced an antigen-specific response, and determined that the use of the CD200AR-L downregulated the expression of CD200 inhibitory and PD-1 receptors. CONCLUSIONS These results support consideration of a CD200AR-L as a novel platform for immunotherapy against multiple cancers including glioblastoma multiforme.

Abstract
In Huntington's disease (HD), striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs) are particularly sensitive to the presence of a CAG repeat in the huntingtin (HTT) gene. However, there are many evidences that cells from the peripheral immune system and central nervous system (CNS) immune cells, namely microglia, play an important role in the etiology and the progression of HD. However, it remains unclear whether MSNs neurodegeneration is mediated by a non-cell autonomous mechanism. The homeostasis in the healthy CNS is maintained by several mechanisms of interaction between all brain cells. Neurons can control microglia activation through several inhibitory mechanisms, such as the CD200-CD200R1 interaction. Due to the complete lack of knowledge about the CD200-CD200R1 system in HD, we determined the temporal patterns of CD200 and CD200R1 expression in the neocortex, hippocampus and striatum in the HD mouse models R6/1 and HdhQ111/7 from pre-symptomatic to manifest stages. In order to explore any alteration in the peripheral immune system, we also studied the levels of expression of CD200 and CD200R1 in whole blood. Although CD200R1 expression was not altered, we observed and increase in CD200 gene expression and protein levels in the brain parenchyma of all the regions we examined, along with HD pathogenesis in R6/1 mice. Interestingly, the expression of CD200 mRNA was also up-regulated in blood following a similar temporal pattern. These results suggest that canonical neuronal-microglial communication through CD200-CD200R1 interaction is not compromised, and CD200 up-regulation in R6/1 brain parenchyma could represent a neurotrophic signal to sustain or extend neuronal function in the latest stages of HD as pro-survival mechanism.

Abstract
Constant exposure to foreign particles in the airways requires tight immune regulation in order to maintain sufficient anti-microbial defences, while preventing immunopathological responses that could impair gas exchange. Dysregulation of immunoregulatory pathways has been associated with asthma and allergy. This review will focus on the CD200 regulatory pathway and its role in the asthmatic cascade. CD200 and its receptors are highly expressed in the lung, on epithelial cells and leukocytes, and emerging evidence links dysregulation of the CD200 pathway with asthma. Moreover, pharmacological modulation of CD200 receptors was shown to improve clinical and inflammatory outcomes of preclinical asthma models. Therefore, the involvement of CD200 in asthma is increasingly recognized and preclinical studies support the contention that it could constitute an additional target to alleviate asthma exacerbation and/or reduce disease severity.

Abstract
There are over 400 ongoing clinical trials using tumor-derived vaccines. This approach is especially attractive for many types of brain tumors, including glioblastoma, yet so far the clinical response is highly variable. One contributor to poor response is CD200, which acts as a checkpoint blockade, inducing immune tolerance. We demonstrate that, in response to vaccination, glioma-derived CD200 suppresses the anti-tumor immune response. In contrast, a CD200 peptide inhibitor that activates antigen-presenting cells overcomes immune tolerance. The addition of the CD200 inhibitor significantly increased leukocyte infiltration into the vaccine site, cytokine and chemokine production, and cytolytic activity. Our data therefore suggest that CD200 suppresses the immune system's response to vaccines, and that blocking CD200 could improve the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Th1/Th2 peripheral blood balance and CD200 expression in patients with severe alopecia areata (SAA) in the active stage were investigated. Fifty patients with active SAA, 50 patients with stable SAA and 50 healthy controls were continuously selected and expression of Th1/Th2 of peripheral T lymphocytes, and peripheral B lymphocytes was detected by flow cytometry; RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of the PBMC CD200 mRNA and the expression of CD200 in hair follicles of alopecia area was detected by immunohistochemically staining; ELISA was used to detect expression levels of serum LFN-γ and serum interleukin (IL)-10. The expression of CD200 in patients with alopecia areata in active phase on CD3+ T lymphocytes and CD19+ B lymphocytes was significantly lower (P<0.05) than those in stable phase and of the control group. CD200 expression in patients with alopecia areata in stable phase on T lymphocytes was greatly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). However, the comparison of expression of CD200 in patients with alopecia areata in stable phase on B lymphocytes with the control group were statistically non-significant. The level of the expression of CD200 mRNA in active phase was obviously lower than those of the other two groups and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); the moderate positive and strong positive percentage of CD200 in the active phase was significantly lower than those of the other two groups. Positive expression rate of CK15 among the three groups were compared with each other; the differences had no statistical significance. The level of LFN-γ in the active phase had obviously increased while the IL-10 level decreased significantly (P<0.05). In conclusion, the level of expression of CD200 on peripheral blood and hair follicle outer root sheath of patients with SAA was decreased. This may be associated with the imbalance of the Th1/Th2 equilibrium.

Abstract
In order to investigate the mechanisms of persistent foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) infection in cattle, transcriptome alterations associated with the FMDV carrier state were characterized using a bovine whole-transcriptome microarray. Eighteen cattle (8 vaccinated with a recombinant FMDV A vaccine, 10 non-vaccinated) were challenged with FMDV A24 Cruzeiro, and the gene expression profiles of nasopharyngeal tissues collected between 21 and 35 days after challenge were compared between 11 persistently infected carriers and 7 non-carriers. Carriers and non-carriers were further compared to 2 naïve animals that had been neither vaccinated nor challenged. At a controlled false-discovery rate of 10% and a minimum difference in expression of 50%, 648 genes were differentially expressed between FMDV carriers and non-carriers, and most (467) had higher expression in carriers. Among these, genes associated with cellular proliferation and the immune response-such as chemokines, cytokines and genes regulating T and B cells-were significantly overrepresented. Differential gene expression was significantly correlated between non-vaccinated and vaccinated animals (biological correlation +0.97), indicating a similar transcriptome profile across these groups. Genes related to prostaglandin E2 production and the induction of regulatory T cells were overexpressed in carriers. In contrast, tissues from non-carrier animals expressed higher levels of complement regulators and pro-apoptotic genes that could promote virus clearance. Based on these findings, we propose a working hypothesis for FMDV persistence in nasopharyngeal tissues of cattle, in which the virus may be maintained by an impairment of apoptosis and the local suppression of cell-mediated antiviral immunity by inducible regulatory T cells.

Abstract
CD200, a type I transmembrane glycoprotein, can interact with its receptor CD200R, which plays an inhibitory role in the activation of microglia-the resident macrophages of the central nervous system. In this study, the rat C6 glioma cell line (C6-1) that was previously characterized with high in vivo tumorigenicity was found to generate CD200 mRNA abundantly. However, CD200 expression was barely detected in another C6 glioma cell clone (C6-2) that was previously found to display low tumorigenic behavior. The results from CD200 immunohistochemistry on human glioma tissue array also showed that tumor cells in Grade I-II astrocytoma expressed a lower level of CD200 immunoreactivity than those detected in Grade III-IV glioblastoma multiforme. C6-1 transfectants with stable downregulation of CD200 gene expression using lentivirus knockdown approach were generated (C6-KD). Microglia and iNOS+ cells were increased when microglia were co-cultured with C6-KD cells. The colony formation of C6-KD was also augmented when those cells were co-cultured with microglia. Yet, increased colony formation of C6-KD transfectants in the co-culture with microglia was effectively suppressed by interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-10. The in vivo results indicated that the tumor formation of C6-1 cells in rat brain was promoted after CD200 gene knockdown. Moreover, CD11b+ activated microglia and iNOS+ microglia were highly accumulated in the tumor site formed by C6-KD. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that the downregulation of CD200 expression in CD200-rich glioma cells could foster the formation of an activated microglia-associated tumor microenvironment, leading to glioma progression. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Neutrophil activities must be tightly controlled to maintain immune homeostasis. Activating and inhibitory receptors balance the outcome of immune cell activation. Immunoreceptors contain Ig-like extracellular domains and signal via ITAMs or ITIMs. Syk or SHP/SHIP mediate downstream signaling after immunoreceptor activation. Targeting immunoreceptors provides opportunities for therapeutic interventions.
Neutrophils play a critical role in the host defense against infection, and they are able to perform a variety of effector mechanisms for this purpose. However, there are also a number of pathological conditions, including autoimmunity and cancer, in which the activities of neutrophils can be harmful to the host. Thus the activities of neutrophils need to be tightly controlled. As in the case of other immune cells, many of the neutrophil effector functions are regulated by a series of immunoreceptors on the plasma membrane. Here, we review what is currently known about the functions of the various individual immunoreceptors and their signaling in neutrophils. While these immunoreceptors allow for the recognition of a diverse range of extracellular ligands, such as cell surface structures (like proteins, glycans and lipids) and extracellular matrix components, they commonly signal via conserved ITAM or ITIM motifs and their associated downstream pathways that depend on the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in proteins and/or inositol lipids. This allows for a balanced homeostatic regulation of neutrophil effector functions. Given the number of available immunoreceptors and their fundamental importance for neutrophil behavior, it is perhaps not surprising that pathogens have evolved means to evade immune responses through some of these pathways. Inversely, some of these receptors evolved to specifically recognize these pathogens. Finally, some interactions mediated by immunoreceptors in neutrophils have been identified as promising targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
CD200 and its receptor, CD200 receptor (CD200R), have uniaue roles in controlling damaging inflammatory processes. At present, the only identified function for CD200 is as a ligand for CD200R. These proteins interact resulting in the activation of anti-inflammatory signaling by CD200R-expressing cells. When this interaction becomes deficient with aging or disease, chronic inflammation occurs, Experimental animal studies have demonstrated the consequences of disrupting CD200-CD200R interactions in the brain, but there have been few studies in human brains. Deficiency in neuronal CD200 may explain the chronic inflammation in human neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis; however, deficits in the microglial expression of CD200R may also be of functional significance. The purpose of this review is to assess the data regarding the role of CD200-CD200R interactions in relation to the brain in order to determine if this could be a therapeutic target for human brain diseases with inflammatory components, and what additional studies are needed.
