Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of IL-33 in gouty arthritis. MATERIAL 174 Balb/c (wild-type) and 54 ST2-/- mice were used in this study. In vitro experiments were conducted in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). Synovial fluid samples from gouty arthritis (n = 7) and osteoarthritis (n = 8) hospital patients were used to measure IL-33 and sST2 levels. METHODS Gout was induced by injection of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in the knee joint of mice. Pain was determined using the electronic von Frey and static weight bearing. Neutrophil recruitment was determined by H&E staining, Rosenfeld staining slides, and MPO activity. ELISA was used for cytokine and sST2 measurement. The priming effect of IL-33 was determined in BMDM. RESULTS Synovial fluid of gout patients showed higher IL-33 levels and neutrophil counts than osteoarthritis patients. In mice, the absence of ST2 prevented mechanical pain, knee joint edema, neutrophil recruitment to the knee joint, and lowered IL-1β and superoxide anion levels. In macrophages, IL-33 enhanced the release of IL-1β and TNF-α, and BMDMs from ST2-/- showed reduced levels of these cytokines after stimulus with MSU crystals. CONCLUSION IL-33 mediates gout pain and inflammation by boosting macrophages production of cytokines upon MSU crystals stimulus.

Abstract
The ST2 receptor is a member of the Toll/IL-1R superfamily and interleukin-33 (IL-33) is its agonist. Recently, it has been demonstrated that IL-33/ST2 axis plays key roles in inflammation and immune mediated diseases. Here, we investigated the effect of ST2 deficiency in Staphylococcus aureus-induced septic arthritis physiopathology. Synovial fluid samples from septic arthritis and osteoarthritis individuals were assessed regarding IL-33 and soluble (s) ST2 levels. The IL-33 levels in samples from synovial fluid were significantly increased, whereas no sST2 levels were detected in patients with septic arthritis when compared with osteoarthritis individuals. The intra-articular injection of 1 × 107 colony-forming unity/10 μl of S. aureus American Type Culture Collection 6538 in wild-type (WT) mice induced IL-33 and sST2 production with a profile resembling the observation in the synovial fluid of septic arthritis patients. Data using WT, and ST2 deficient (−/−) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ)−/− mice showed that ST2 deficiency shifts the immune balance toward a type 1 immune response that contributes to eliminating the infection due to enhanced microbicide effect via NO production by neutrophils and macrophages. In fact, the treatment of ST2−/− bone marrow-derived macrophage cells with anti-IFN-γ abrogates the beneficial phenotype in the absence of ST2, which confirms that ST2 deficiency leads to IFN-γ expression and boosts the bacterial killing activity of macrophages against S. aureus. In agreement, WT cells achieved similar immune response to ST2 deficiency by IFN-γ treatment. The present results unveil a previously unrecognized beneficial effect of ST2 deficiency in S. aureus-induced septic arthritis.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune arthropathy characterized by chronic articular inflammation. Methotrexate (MTX) remains the first-line therapy for RA and its anti-inflammatory effect is associated with the maintenance of high levels of extracellular adenosine (ADO). Nonetheless, up to 40% of RA patients are resistant to MTX treatment and this is linked to a reduction of CD39 expression, an ectoenzyme involved in the generation of extracellular ADO by ATP metabolism, on circulating regulatory T cells (Tregs). However, the mechanism mediating the reduction of CD39 expression on Tregs is unknown. Here we demonstrated that the impairment in TGF-β signalling lead to the reduction of CD39 expression on Tregs that accounts for MTX resistance. TGF-β increases CD39 expression on Tregs via the activation of TGFBRII/TGFBRI, SMAD2 and the transcription factor CREB, which is activated in a p38-dependent manner and induces CD39 expression by promoting ENTPD1 gene transcription. Importantly, unresponsive patients to MTX (UR-MTX) show reduced expression of TGFBR2 and CREB1 and decreased levels of p-SMAD2 and p-CREB in Tregs compared to MTX-responsive patients (R-MTX). Furthermore, RA patients carrying at least one mutant allele for rs1431131 (AT or AA) of the TGFBR2 gene are significantly (p = 0.0006) associated with UR-MTX. Therefore, we have uncovered a molecular mechanism for the reduced CD39 expression on Tregs, and revealed potential targets for therapeutic intervention for MTX resistance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Neutrophils play a major role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. We aimed to evaluate if neutrophil DNA damage in RA patients is associated with the disease activity, autoantibodies status, carriage of the RA shared epitope (SE) and treatment. METHODS DNA damage was assessed by alkaline comet assay in peripheral blood (77 patients and 55 healthy controls) and in 10 RA synovial fluid neutrophils. Evaluation of the respiratory burst of 30 patients with RA and 30 healthy controls was done. RESULTS Compared to controls, RA patients exhibited increased neutrophil DNA damage. RA synovial fluid cells DNA damage was increased when compared to OA synovial fluids cells. In addition, our study shows that anti-TNF-α therapy reduces the frequency of DNA damage. Patients with simple or double dose of shared epitope presented a higher frequency of DNA damage compared to patients without the allele. Positive correlation was found between neutrophil DNA damage and DAS-28 and ROS production. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that an increase of respiratory burst of neutrophils reflects the higher levels of DNA damage in neutrophils and a positive correlation between DNA damage and disease activity shows the importance of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of RA.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which Pb(2+) induces hemolysis are not completely understood. For this reason, the involvement of oxidative stress in the mechanism of Pb(2+)-induced pre-hemolytic lesion was investigated by exposing RBC to Pb(2+) in vitro and then separating the intact non-hemolysed RBC. Oxidative stress was investigated on human RBCs by tert-butyl hydroperoxide-initiated chemiluminescence method (CL). Our results revealed that lead-induced time and concentration-dependent hemolysis and CL time curves showed a very narrow correlation each other. GSH oxidation to GSSG and the stress index also increased significantly. Treatment of lead-exposed RBC with desferrioxamine, an iron-chelating agent or the chain-breaking antioxidant, Trolox, quenched light emission and inhibited hemolysis dramatically. Mannitol and sodium formate, (*)OH scavengers, on the contrary, did not inhibit CL or hemolysis, significantly. These data indicate that lead-induced lipid peroxide formation is mediated by a metal-driven Fenton reaction but do not support the direct involvement of hydroxyl radicals in this process. By contrast, our results revealed a decrease in light emission and decreased hemolysis in the presence of histidine, a singlet oxygen scavenger. Our results suggest that membrane damage and hemolysis of RBC are mediated by Pb(2+) through free radical reactions and that singlet oxygen plays a significant role in this process.

Abstract
The jeju, Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus, is equipped with a modified part of the swim bladder that allows aerial respiration. On this background, we have evaluated its respiratory and cardiovascular responses to aquatic hypoxia. Its aquatic O2 uptake (V(O2)) was maintained constant down to a critical P(O2) (P(cO2)) of 40 mm Hg, below which V(O2) declined linearly with further reductions of P(iO2). Just below P(cO2), the ventilatory tidal volume (V(T)) increased significantly along with gill ventilation (V(G)), while respiratory frequency changed little. Consequently, water convection requirement (V(G)/V(O2)) increased steeply. The same threshold applied to cardiovascular responses that included reflex bradycardia and elevated arterial blood pressure (P(a)). Aerial respiration was initiated at water P(O2) of 44 mm Hg and breathing episodes and time at the surface increased linearly with more severe hypoxia. At the lowest water P(O2) (20 mm Hg), the time spent at the surface accounted for 50% of total time. This response has a character of a temporary emergency behavior that may allow the animal to escape hypoxia.

Abstract
Eggplant (Solanum melongena) is consumed extensively in Brazil. It has been believed that infusion of a powdered preparation of the fruit may reduce serum cholesterol. However, there are few documented reports on its effects on cholesterol metabolism and its possible hypocholesterolemic effect has not been proved by well-controlled studies. The aim of the present study was to observe the effects of S. melongena on the serum cholesterol and triglycerides of 38 hypercholesterolemic human volunteers ingesting S. melongena infusion for five weeks. Thirty-eight hypercholesterolemic subjects receiving either S. melongena infusion (N = 19) or placebo (N = 19) participated in two clinical experiments in which the effect of S. melongena infusion was studied with (N = 16) or without (N = 38) dietary orientation. Total cholesterol and its fractions, triglycerides, and apolipoproteins A and B were measured in blood at the beginning of the experiment and three and five weeks thereafter. No differences were observed compared to control. Intraindividual analysis showed that S. melongena infusion significantly reduced the blood levels of total and LDL cholesterol and of apolipoprotein B. After dietary orientation, no intra- or intergroup differences were seen for any of the parameters analyzed. The results suggest that S. melongena infusion had a modest and transitory effect, which was not different from that obtained with standard orientation for dyslipidemia patients (diet and physical activities).
