Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of cohabitation with a B16F10 melanoma-bearer cage mate on behavior and immune functions in mice. Five different experiments were conducted. In each of them, the female mice were divided into two groups: control and experimental. One mouse of each control pair was kept undisturbed and called "companion of health partner" (CHP). One mouse of each experimental pair was inoculated with B16F10 cells and the other, the subject of this study, was called "companion sick partner" (CSP). On Day 20 of cohabitation, behavior and immune parameters from CHP and CSP mice were analyzed. In comparison to the CHP, the CSP mice: (1) presented an increased general locomotion in the open field and a decreased exploration time and number of entries in the plus-maze open arms; (2) had an enhanced expression of the CD80 costimulatory molecule on Iab(+)CD11c(+) spleen cells, but no differences were found on lymph nodes cells; (3) presented an altered differentiation of bone marrow cells in the presence of GM-CSF, IL-4, and LPS in vitro, resulting in a lower percentage of Iab(+)CD80(+) cells; (4) had a deficit in the establishment of a Delayed Type of Hypersensitivity to ovalbumin, which was associated to an in vitro proliferation of an IL-10-producing lymphocyte subpopulation after ovalbumin stimulation. Corticosterone levels detected on Day 20 of cohabitation were similar in CHP and CSP mice. It is shown here that DCs phenotype in mice is affected by conditions associated with behavioral alterations indicative of an anxiety-like state induced by the cohabitation with a tumor-bearer conspecific. This phenomenon occurred probably through a nondependent corticosterone mechanism.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Antigen-presenting cells, like dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages, play a significant role in the induction of an immune response and an imbalance in the proportion of macrophages, immature and mature DCs within the tumor could affect significantly the immune response to cancer. DCs and macrophages can differentiate from monocytes, depending on the milieu, where cytokines, like interleukin (IL)-4 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) induce DC differentiation and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha induce DC maturation. Thus, the aim of this work was to analyze by immunohistochemistry the presence of DCs (S100+ or CD1a+), macrophages (CD68+), IL-4 and TNF-alpha within the microenvironment of primary lung carcinomas. RESULTS Higher frequencies of both immature DCs and macrophages were detected in the tumor-affected lung, when compared to the non-affected lung. Also, TNF-alpha-positive cells were more frequent, while IL-4-positive cells were less frequent in neoplastic tissues. This decreased frequency of mature DCs within the tumor was further confirmed by the lower frequency of CD14-CD80+ cells in cell suspensions obtained from the same lung tissues analyzed by flow cytometry. CONCLUSION These data are discussed and interpreted as the result of an environment that does not oppose monocyte differentiation into DCs, but that could impair DC maturation, thus affecting the induction of effective immune responses against the tumor.

Abstract
CD83, a characteristic marker of activated dendritic cells, is also expressed by tumor cell lines from various origins and by primary lung cancers. Here, we show that CD83+ tumor cells (from a primary lung cancer and from an established breast cancer cell line) release in their culture supernatants a soluble factor that is able to block, in a dose-dependent manner, CD4+ and CD8+ T cell proliferative responses to allogeneic dendritic cells. This factor was removed from the medium by incubation in anti-CD83 covered plates, indicating that it could be one of the known soluble forms of the CD83 molecule, released in the medium by the cultured tumor cells. This phenomenon, happening in vivo, in the tumor microenvironment, could affect profoundly anti-tumor immune responses and should, therefore, be considered in immunotherapeutic approaches to cancer.

Abstract
The present paper shows, for the first time, the membrane expression of the dendritic cell maturation marker CD83 on tumor cells from lung cancer patients. CD83 was also detected on freshly cultured fibroblast-like cells from these tissues and on several adherent human tumor cell lines (lung adenocarcinomas P9, A459 and A549, melanomas A375 and C81-61, breast adenocarcinomas SKBR-3 and MCF-7 and colon carcinoma AR42-J), but not in the non-adherent MOT leukemia cell line. CD83 may have immunosuppressive properties and its expression by cancer cells could have a role in facilitating tumor growth.
