Abstract
Abstract
PURPOSE: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is an adverse effect of many commonly used chemotherapeutic agents, including taxanes. However, there is currently no established effective prophylactic management for CIPN. Thus, we investigated the efficacy of using surgical glove (SG) compression therapy to prevent nanoparticle albumin-bound-paclitaxel (nab-PTX)-induced peripheral neuropathy.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with primary and recurrent breast cancer who received 260 mg/m2 of nab-PTX were eligible for this case-control study. The patients wore two SGs of the same size, that is, one size smaller than the size that fit, on their dominant hand for 90 minutes. They did not wear SGs on the non-dominant hand, which served as the control hand. Peripheral neuropathy was evaluated at each treatment cycle using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 and the Patient Neurotoxicity Questionnaire (PNQ). The temperatures of each fingertip of the compression SG-protected and control hands were measured by using thermography.
RESULTS: Between August 2013 and January 2016, 43 patients were enrolled, and 42 were evaluated. As shown in Table 1, the overall occurrence of ≥grade 2 sensory and motor peripheral neuropathy according to the CTCAE was significantly lower in the SG-protected hands than in the control hands (76.1% vs. 21.4% and 57.1% vs. 26.2%, respectively, p < 0.0001). The PNQ results showed that the incidence of ≥grade 4 neuropathy was significantly higher in the control hands than in the SG-protected hands in terms of both sensory and motor neurotoxicity (p < 0.0001, Table 2). As the treatment cycles of nab-PTX increased, the mean CTCAE and PNQ grades of the control hands gradually increased. However, the SG-protected hands maintained significantly lower mean grades than the control hands over time (p < 0.0001).
No patients withdrew from this study because they could not tolerate the compression from the SGs. The mean temperature of each fingertip significantly decreased (1.42–2.60 °C) in the SG-protected hands compared to in the control hands.
CONCLUSIONS: SG compression therapy appears effective for reducing nab-PTX-induced peripheral neuropathy. The nab-PTX exposure to the peripheral nerve may be decreased because the SG decreases microvascular flow to the fingertip.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The current standard treatment of primary systemic therapy (PST) in HER2 positive breast cancer is anthracyclines (A) and/or taxanes combined with trastuzumab (H) which demonstrates high pathological complete response (pCR). The pCR is considered as a predictive marker of prognosis although results are slightly different depending on the hormone receptor status. We conducted a randomized phase II study to examine sequence of treatments and necessity of A in the treatments using TCH to improve outcome and reduce cardiac toxicity in Japanese HER2 positive pts.
Methods: Pts were treated with FEC (5FU 500 mg/m2, epirubicin 100 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2) and/or TCH (docetaxel 75 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2, H 6 mg/kg, loading by 8 mg) in 3 groups: 4 cycles of FEC followed by 4 cycles of TCH (A-TCH); 4 cycles of TCH followed by 4 cycles of FEC (TCH-A) or 6 cycles of TCH. An unplanned interim analysis was conducted due to one death by interstitial lung disease (ILD) in the A-TCH after completion of 8 cycles. The pCR results suggested A containing regimens did not exceed benefit from the current standard regimen. The study was continued by limiting allocation only to the TCH group considering efficacy and safety. The primary endpoint was pCR and secondary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR) and safety.
Results: A total of 103 pts were enrolled between Sep. 2009 and Sep. 2011; 21 pts in the A-TCH, 22 pts in the TCH-A and 60 pts in the TCH including pts enrolled after termination of random allocation. Characteristics of the 103 pts were; median age of 54 (range, 33–70), median tumor size of 35 mm (range, 12–80), 42 pts with N(+) (40.8%) and 62 ER positive pts (60.2%). Characteristics of pts in the TCH were; median age of 54.5 (range, 33–67), median tumor size of 35.5 mm (range, 12–80), 25 pts with N(+) (41.7%) and 34 ER positive pts (56.7%). No major difference was reported between groups treated with or without A. Per protocol population was 59 pts in the TCH and its pCR rate was 45.8% (95% CI, 32.2–59.3: ER negative, 61.5%; ER positive, 33.3%). ORR was 86.4% assessed by MRI or CT. Although it is an exploratory analysis, the pCR rate of A containing regimens was 39.0% (ER negative, 57.1%; ER positive, 29.6%). Adverse events ≥grade 3 were reported in 50 pts (48.5%). Reported ILD was in 5 pts (A-TCH, 1; TCH-A, 1; TCH, 3). The mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decreased from 70.0% to 69.0% after treatment (A-TCH, 65.9%; TCH-A, 70.4%; TCH, 69.0%). Decrease of LVEF in the A-TCH was significant (p < 0.01).
Conclusion: The pCR rate of the TCH group was similar to previous reports on A including regimens. Although ILD had been occurred during the treatment containing the TCH, no other new safety issues were reported. We were not able to conclude preferable sequence of A and T since statistical power was not sufficient. However, the result of LVEF suggested TCH followed by A or TCH were preferable. Six cycles of TCH could be one of treatment options as a PST in HER2 positive breast cancer to exclude A. (UMIN000002365)

Abstract
Evidence suggests that NK cells contribute to the pathogenesis of delayed rejection of vascularized xenografts, and NK cells have been suggested to participate in hyperacute xenograft rejection. Endothelial cells have been shown to be the primary target of the recipient's immune responses that mediate both hyperacute and delayed xenograft rejection. Under conditions of oxidative stress induced by thiol deprivation, but not under normal conditions, pretreatment of porcine aortic endothelial cells (PAECs) with the NO donor, S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine, dramatically inhibited killing of PAEC target cells by IL-2-activated human NK cells. This same combined treatment reduced both surface expression and mRNA levels of E-selectin. Moreover, anti-E-selectin mAb, but not Ab to VCAM-1, protected PAEC from lysis by human IL-2-activated NK cells in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that expression of porcine E-selectin is important for the cytotoxicity of PAEC mediated by activated human NK cells and may be involved in the redox-mediated modulation of that cytotoxicity. It is known that NF-kappa B activation is required for transcription of E-selectin, and the current data show that the suppression of E-selectin expression by S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine pretreatment and thiol deprivation was associated with reduced NF-kappa B DNA-binding activity in PAEC. These data suggest that the regulation of porcine E-selectin may be important for modulating delayed xenograft rejection and that manipulation of cellular redox systems may provide a means to protect xenogeneic endothelial cells from NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity.

Abstract
A 57-year-old man had had deformities of all ten fingernails for one and a half years before presentation and deformities of all ten toenails for the previous six months. The surfaces of the nails were rough, with excessive longitudinal striations. The bases of the nails were slightly hypertrophic, and the tips were atrophic and itchy. A longitudinal nail biopsy including the nail matrix revealed the typical histology of lichen planus. Reticulated pigmentation, maceration, and erosion on the buccal mucous membrane were also discovered. Histological analysis of the buccal mucous membrane revealed lichen planus intermingled with eosinophils. Immunological blood analysis revealed elevated CD4+ T cells and CD4/CD8 ratio. He worked as a tinsmith and had dental metal. The metal series patch test revealed positive reactions to chromate and tin. Treatment with systemic steroids was quite effective in treating the nail lesions.

Abstract
Liver metastasis of primary tumor is a clinically major problem. KRN7000, an alpha-galactosylceramide, significantly augments natural killer (NK) activity of spleen cells and shows strong antitumor activity in mice with lung metastasis of melanoma B16 cells. To test whether KRN7000 has an antitumor activity in mice with hepatic metastasis of tumors, we examined the effect of KRN7000 on NK activity of hepatic mononuclear cells (MNC) and the antitumor activity in mice with liver metastasis of EL-4 cells. The in vivo administration of KRN7000 significantly augmented NK activity of hepatic MNC and inhibited tumor growth of EL-4 cells in the liver more markedly than chemotherapeutic agents, leading to a relatively high rate of cured mice. In addition, it appeared that the KRN7000 treatment is effective in mice with established EL-4 tumors. Moreover, we found that KRN7000 can produce significant amounts of interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-12, and interferon-gamma in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that KRN7000 will be useful for the treatment of cancer liver metastasis.

Abstract
We previously reported that the culture supernatant of the human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV-I) infected-T-cell line--ATL-2--included factor(s), which had an inhibitory effect on epidermal growth factor (EGF)-stimulated proliferation of primary cultured rat hepatocytes. After crude purification, we arbitrarily named it hepatocyte growth inhibitory factor (HGI). In this study, we further purified HGI and determined its amino acid sequence. For purification, we used 4-steps column chromatography and SDS-PAGE. The purified proteins consisted of two bands of 20 and 27 kDa in SDS-PAGE analysis. Protein extracted from each band had an inhibitory effect on rat hepatocyte growth. Amino acid analysis of the purified 20 kDa band revealed that the 34 amino acids were identical to those of IL-6. The inhibitory effect of the factor was neutralized by an anti IL-6 neutralizing antibody. Using Western blot analysis of HGI, an anti IL-6 antibody recognized both 20 and 27 kDa bands. Consequently HGI was determined to be identical to IL-6, which occurred in higher levels in the sera of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) patients.

Abstract
Redox processes have been implicated in various biologic processes, including signal transduction, gene expression, and cell proliferation, and several molecules have been identified as redox regulators in cell activation. Glutathione is the oldest and most investigated molecule among them. Although details of the mechanisms by which glutathione regulates various aspects of cell biology remains to be characterized, the relationship between immunodeficiency and cellular glutathione status is well established. Redox dysregulation contributes to the pathogenesis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected rhesus macaques have, on the average, significantly decreased plasma cysteine and intracellular glutathione levels. Liver contains abundant levels of reducing factors. However, glutathione levels in serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells of cirrhosis patients are lower compared to values detected in healthy individuals. In the present article, the significance of glutathione in regulating the functions of lymphocytes, especially those of liver-associated lymphocytes, has been described. A novel strategy for immune therapy of liver neoplasms with the use of redox-modulating agents has been proposed.

Abstract
Liver cirrhosis, which is associated with decreased plasma and hepatic glutathione (GSH), has been reported to cause the suppression of NK activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Since low GSH levels in lymphocytes are known to alter lymphocyte function, we examined the correlation between intracellular GSH levels and the cytotoxic activity of liver-associated mononuclear cells (liver MNC). We show here that rat liver contains a highly active population of NK cells (CD3- NKR-P1 + cells) that kill Yac-1 in vitro and that the cytotoxic activity of this NK population is directly proportional to liver MNC GSH. This proportionality is independent of the methods used to alter GSH level. Thus, in vitro treatment of liver MNC with buthionine sulfoximine to lower GSH levels lowers the cytotoxic activity. MNC from cirrhotic liver, in which implanted tumor cells grow faster, have both low GSH levels and low cytotoxicity, and supplementation of cirrhotic liver MNC with N-acetylcysteine raises GSH levels and increases cytotoxicity. These findings suggest a physiologic mechanism, i.e. decreased GSH, may be causally associated with the increased incidence of hepatoma in cirrhotic individuals and the increased growth of hepatoma cells in cirrhotic animals. Thus, we suggest that the GSH is important to the optimal functioning of the hepatic immunity that protects against hepatoma development.

Abstract
Eosinophilic inflammation of the airways is believed to play a central role in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma. Inoculation of mice with the nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis induces pulmonary inflammation, characterized by a marked infiltration of eosinophils, subsequent to the migration of parasites through the lungs. Infection is associated with polarized Th2 responses in different strains of mice tested. Thus, this model may be useful to determine the relationship between established pulmonary eosinophilic inflammation, Th2 immune responses and airway changes in a nonallergic background. In the present study, we have used IL-5-deficient mice to evaluate the role of IL-5 in eosinophilic lung inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). In wild-type C57B/6 mice, infection with N. brasiliensis resulted in eosinophil accumulation, associated with extensive lung damage characterized by hemorrhage and alveolar wall destruction, and a strong AHR following methacholine treatment. In IL-5-deficient mice, eosinophil infiltration and the associated lung damage was abrogated. Nonetheless, AHR was unimpaired. Our results suggest that eosinophil accumulation plays a central role in lung damage but is not responsible for the induction of airway constriction following N. brasiliensis infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS We have previously reported that human hepatic sinusoidal mononuclear cells may have a higher sensitivity to induction of apoptosis than peripheral blood mononuclear cells. In this study, the effects of two different preservation solutions on the functions of those hepatic mononuclear cells were evaluated in living-related liver transplantation. METHODS Ten and 11 liver grafts were perfused via the portal vein with University of Wisconsin solutions (UW group) and Bretschneider's Histidine-Tryptophan-Ketoglutarate solutions (HTK group), respectively. Hepatic mononuclear cells were isolated from the effluent preservation solution passing through the graft livers. Cytofluorometry, cytotoxic assay, and DNA analysis were performed. RESULTS There were no significant differences in surface antigens and natural killer activity of hepatic sinusoidal mononuclear cells between the UW and HTK groups. At the time of isolation, the viability of hepatic sinusoidal mononuclear cells in both groups was more than 99%. In the UW group, the viability of hepatic sinusoidal mononuclear cells decreased to 30% through apoptosis in in vitro culture at 48 h after isolation. In the HTK group, however, their viability was maintained at more than 90% at 48 h in the same culture conditions, and additional exposure to UW solution ex vivo for 30 min did not induce apoptosis. CONCLUSION Hepatic sinusoidal mononuclear cells isolated from the UW solution, not from the HTK solution, passing through the liver died through apoptosis, which was not induced by each component of the UW solution, but by exposure in situ.

Abstract
To examine the possibility of immunotherapy for activating liver-associated mononuclear cells (liver MNC) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we evaluated the cytotoxicity of liver MNC and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) in HCC patients and examined how they can be activated by cytokines and how this activation is modulated by reduction/oxidation. Cytotoxicity of liver MNC but not PBMNC in HCC patients was significantly decreased compared with that of controls, despite no alteration in the subpopulation of liver MNC between the two groups. We next measured intracellular glutathione (GSH), which is required for the enhancement of the cytotoxicity by interleukin-2 (IL-2). Intracellular GSH levels of liver MNC in HCC were significantly lower than that of controls. In vitro administration of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) not only restored intracellular GSH levels but also enhanced the IL-2-stimulated cytotoxicity of liver MNC in HCC patients. This suggests that intracellular GSH of liver MNC in HCC may participate in the modulation of cytotoxicity of liver MNC in vitro and that NAC may be effective as an adjunct to immunotherapy for HCC.

Abstract
The antiasthmatic profile of KAA-276 (1-[1-(4-fluorophenylmethyl)-1H-benzimidazole-2-yl]-5-[2-[4-(2- carboxethyl) phenyl]ethyl]-1,5-diazacyclooctane sulfate, CAS 167264-26-8), a newly synthesized histamine H1 receptor antagonist, given by inhalation as an aerosol was investigated and compared with the profiles obtained using other routes of administration. When given by inhalation, or by intravenous or oral routes, KAA-276 inhibited antigen-induced bronchoconstriction in rats with ID50 (a dose to inhibit the antigen-induced response by 50%) values of 0.054%, 1 mg/kg, and 51.2 mg/kg, respectively. KAA-276 prevented the histamine-induced wheal reaction in rats dose-dependently with ID50 values of 0.22% by inhalation, 0.18 mg/kg by the intravenous route, and 2.3 mg/kg by the oral route. To judge from these results, inhaled KAA-276, unlike intravenous or oral KAA-276, had no inhibitory effect on the histamine-induced wheal reaction at a dose (0.054%) that is effective against the antigen-induced airway asthmatic response. Inhaled KAA-276 suppressed antigen-induced bronchoconstriction in actively sensitized guinea pigs, and histamine-induced bronchoconstriction in monkeys. These results suggest that inhalation of KAA-276 would benefit patients with bronchial asthma without inducing unwanted systemic effects.

Abstract
The pharmacological profile of a newly synthesized histamine H1 receptor antagonist, KAA-276 (1-[1-(4-fluorophenylmethyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-5-12-[4-( 2-carboxyethyl)-phenyl]ethyl]-1,5-diazacyclooctane sulfate), was characterized. In a H1 receptor binding assay in vitro, KAA-276 inhibited [3H]mepyramine binding to guinea pig cerebellar membrane preparations with an IC50 of 0.66 nM. The inhibitory potency of KAA-276 was greater than that of terfenadine, but similar to that of astemizole and ketotifen. KAA-276 antagonized the histamine-induced constriction of ileum and trachea isolated from guinea pigs in a dose-dependent manner with a concomitant reduction in the maximum response. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of KAA-276 on histamine induced contraction was potentiated depending on the duration of preincubation time and revealed an irreversible property. KAA-276 given orally, intraduodenally, and by inhalation significantly inhibited histamine-induced bronchoconstriction dose-dependently in guinea pigs. Inhalation of KAA-276 exhibited inhibitory activity with a rapid onset and long duration, while intraduodenal administration resulted in action with a slow onset. Therefore, KAA-276, an irreversible and selective histamine H1 receptor antagonist, was shown to be a useful drug for therapeutic strategies against bronchial asthma when administered by the aerosol route.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Changes in oxygen availability modulate replicative responses in several cell types, but the effects on hepatocyte replication remain unclear. We have studied the effects of transient nonlethal hypoxia on epidermal growth factor receptor binding and epidermal growth factor-induced DNA synthesis of rat hepatocytes. METHODS Lactate dehydrogenase activity in culture supernatant, intracellular adenosine triphosphate content, 125I-epidermal growth factor specific binding, epidermal growth factor receptor protein expression, and 3H-thymidine incorporation were compared between hepatocytes cultured in hypoxia and normoxia. RESULTS Hypoxia up to 3 h caused no significant increase in lactate dehydrogenase activity in the culture supernatant, while intracellular adenosine triphosphate content decreased time-dependently and was restored to normoxic levels by reoxygenation (nonlethal hypoxia). Concomitantly, 125I-epidermal growth factor specific binding to hepatocytes decreased time-dependently (to 54.1% of normoxia) and was restored to control levels by reoxygenation, although 125I-insulin specific binding was not affected. The decrease in 125I-epidermal growth factor specific binding was explained by the decrease in the number of available epidermal growth factor receptors (21.37+/-3.08 to 12.16+/-1.42 fmol/10(5) cells), while the dissociation constant of the receptor was not affected. The change in the number of available receptors was not considered to be due to receptor degradation-resynthesis, since immunodetection of the epidermal growth factor receptor revealed that the receptor protein expression did not change during hypoxia and reoxygenation, and since neither actinomycin D nor cycloheximide affected the recovery of 125I-epidermal growth factor binding by reoxygenation. Inhibition of epidermal growth factor-induced DNA synthesis after hypoxia (to 75.4% of normoxia by 3 h hypoxia) paralleled the decrease in 125I-epidermal growth factor binding. CONCLUSIONS Transient hypoxia, which caused no increase in lactate dehydrogenase leakage but affected intracellular adenosine triphosphate levels, did, however, modulate the number of available epidermal growth factor receptors without affecting the receptor protein expression, and inhibit the epidermal growth factor-induced DNA synthesis of hepatocytes. This suggests that even transient nonlethal hypoxia affects the epidermal growth factor-induced DNA synthesis of rat hepatocytes through reversible changes in the epidermal growth factor receptor molecule, which depends on oxygen availability.

Abstract
In this study, we have examined the effect of endothelin (ET) receptor antagonists on lung granulocyte inflammation after antigen challenge in sensitized mice. The antagonists used were BQ-123, an ETA antagonist, BQ-788, an ETB antagonist, and SB209670, an ET(A&B) antagonist. Thirty minutes prior exposure to aerosolized ovalbumin, ET antagonists (50 pmol/mouse) were administered directly into the lungs of sensitized Balb/c mice via the intranasal route. BQ-123 and SB209670 significantly decreased eosinophil number in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid by 47 and 68%, respectively. Both compounds also inhibited neutrophil infiltration into the lungs. In contrast, BQ-788 did not affect granulocyte infiltration. A similar inhibition of lung eosinophilia was also obtained with an anti-ET antibody applied via the intranasal route. BQ-123 and SB209670, but not BQ-788, significantly increased the production of interferon-gamma (Th1 cytokine) from purified lung Thy1.2+ cells without affecting interleukin-4 and interleukin-5 (Th2 cytokines) secretion. Furthermore, neutralizing antibody against interferon-gamma prevented the inhibitory effect of the ETA antagonist. Taken together, these results suggest an important pathophysiologic role for ET in the development of lung inflammation in asthma and highlight the potential of ET antagonists for the treatment of the disease.

Abstract
The recruitment of eosinophils into the airways after allergen exposure is dependent on interleukin (IL) 5 secreted from antigen-specific CD4+ T cells of the T helper cell (Th) 2 subset. However, while it is established that costimulation through CD28 is required for TCR-mediated activation and IL-2 production, the importance of this mechanism for the induction of a Th2 immune response is less clear. In the present study, we administered the fusion protein CTLA-4 immunoglobulin (Ig) into the lungs before allergen provocation to determine whether CD28/CTLA-4 ligands are required for allergen-induced eosinophil accumulation and the production of Th2 cytokines. Administration of CTLA-4 Ig inhibited the recruitment of eosinophils into the lungs by 75% and suppressed IgE in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. CTLA-4 Ig also inhibited the production of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-10 by 70-80% and enhanced interferon-gamma production from CD3-T cell receptor-activated lung Thy1.2+ cells. Allergen exposure upregulated expression of B7-2, but not B7-1, on B cells from the lung within 24 h. Moreover, airway administration of an anti-B7-2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) inhibited eosinophil infiltration, IgE production, and Th2 cytokine secretion comparable in magnitude to that observed with CTLA-4 Ig. Treatment with an anti-B7-1 mAb had a small, but significant effect on eosinophil accumulation, although was less effective in inhibiting Th2 cytokine production. The anti-B7-2, but not anti-B7-1, mAb also inhibited antigen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness in vivo. In all of the parameters assessed, the combination of both the anti-B7-1 and anti-B7-2 mAb was no more effective than anti-B7-2 mAb treatment alone. We propose that strategies aimed at inhibition of CD28 interactions with B7-2 molecules may represent a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of lung mucosal allergic inflammation.

Abstract
Viral infections of the lung have been postulated to be a major factor in the etiology of bronchial asthma, a disease characterized by eosinophilic inflammation of the airways. In addition, upper respiratory tract infection in asthmatic individuals results in an exacerbation of the disease. Nevertheless, the mechanisms by which viral infection leads to disease exacerbation are poorly understood. CD8+ T cells play an important role in the host defense responses against viral infection, although to date, there are no reports to suggest that CD8+ T cells play any role in eosinophil recruitment. In the present study, we report that CD8+ T cells activated by either immobilized CD3 mAb or specific antigen can switch to a phenotype that produces Th2 cytokines and secretes less IFN-gamma. Moreover, in vivo, if a lung mucosal Th2 immune response exists, then antigen-specific activation of CD8 cells results in the development of lung eosinophilic inflammation mediated by the secretion of IL-5 from CD8+ T cells. These results may explain the link between viral infections and bronchial asthma, as this IL-4-dependent switch to CD8+ T cells to IL-5 secretion may not only exacerbate asthma by recruiting eosinophils into the lungs, but the impaired IFN-gamma production may also lead to delayed viral clearance.

Abstract
To investigate the modulatory role of IFN-gamma on the induction and maintenance of Th2 mucosal immunity in vivo, experiments were performed in mice lacking the IFN-gamma R. Aerosol OVA challenge of immunized wild-type mice resulted in an infiltration of eosinophils into the lung, associated with the ex vivo production of Th2 cytokines (IL-4 and IL-5) from purified lung Thy1.2+ cells stimulated via the CD3/TCR complex. However, while immunized IFN-gamma R-deficient mice exhibited elevated levels of IgE, IgG1, and reduced levels of IgG2a compared with wild-type mice, there was no difference in the recruitment of eosinophils into the lung or the production of IL-4 and IL-5 from lung T cells on day 3. In contrast, up to 2 mo after a single Ag challenge, eosinophils were still present in the lungs of IFN-gamma R-deficient, but not wild-type, mice. Likewise, lung-derived T cells from IFN-gamma R-deficient mice produced higher levels of IL-4 and IL-5, both at 1 and 2 mo after OVA challenge compared with T cells from wild-type mice. We conclude that endogenous IFN-gamma regulates the humoral isotype Ab pattern, but does not modulate the commitment of T cells to a Th2 phenotype in vivo or the acute infiltration of eosinophils to the lung. However, in the absence of IFN-gamma-mediated signaling, there is a transition from a spontaneously resolving to a persisting eosinophilic inflammation of the lungs, associated with a sustained capacity of lung T cells to secrete a Th2 cytokine profile.

Abstract
Elevated levels of immunoglobulin (Ig) E are associated with bronchial asthma, a disease characterized by eosinophilic inflammation of the airways. Activation of antigen-specific T helper (Th) 2 cells in the lung with the subsequent release of interleukin (IL) 4 and IL-5 is believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease. In this study, we have used a non-anaphylactogenic anti-mouse-IgE antibody to investigate the relationship between IgE, airway eosinophil infiltration, and the production of Th2 cytokines. Immunization of mice with house dust mite antigen increased serum levels of IgE and IgG. Antigen challenge of immunized but not control mice induced an infiltration of eosinophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage associated with the production of IL-4 and IL-5 from lung purified Thy1.2+ cells activated through the CD3-T cell receptor complex. Administration of the anti-IgE monoclonal antibody (mAb) 6h before antigen challenge neutralized serum IgE but not IgG and inhibited the recruitment of eosinophils into the lungs and the production of IL-4 and IL-5 but not interferon gamma. Studies performed using an anti-CD23 mAb, CD23 deficient and mast cell deficient mice suggest that anti-IgE mAb suppresses eosinophil infiltration and Th2 cytokine production by inhibiting IgE-CD23-facilitated antigen presentation to T cells. Our results demonstrate that IgE-dependent mechanisms are important in the induction of a Th2 immune response and the subsequent infiltration of eosinophils into the airways. Neutralization of IgE, for example, non-anaphylactogenic anti-IgE mAbs may provide a novel therapeutic approach to the treatment of allergic airway disease.

Abstract
While considerable progress has been made in understanding the events by which eosinophils accumulate in various pathophysiological conditions, the mechanisms controlling the resolution of eosinophilic inflammation are poorly understood. In the present study, we demonstrate that lung eosinophils obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) after aerosol allergen provocation of immunized mice expressed the Fas receptor. Stimulation of purified eosinophils in vitro with a monoclonal anti-Fas mAb (1 ng-1 microg/ml) induced a dose/time dependent loss of cell viability from 24-72 h. Measurement of DNA fragmentation with propidium iodide confirmed that anti-Fas induced eosinophil death by apoptosis. While incubation with IL-3, IL-5, or GM-CSF prevented spontaneous apoptosis, these factors failed to prevent anti-Fas induced apoptosis. Administration of anti-Fas mAb to the lungs after the induction of a lung eosinophilia increased the number of peroxidase positive macrophages in BAL fluid 4-12 h later which was followed by a marked reduction in the number of eosinophils in the airways. Importantly, Fas-mediated resolution of eosinophilic inflammation occurred in the absence of any overt secondary inflammatory changes in the lungs. We speculate that defects in this pathway may at least in part explain the chronic eosinophilic inflammation often observed in the lungs of asthmatic individuals.

Abstract
Aerosol antigen challenge of ovalbumin-sensitized mice induced an eosinophilic airway inflammation that was dependent on interleukin (IL)-5 and CD4+, but not CD8+, T lymphocytes. The involvement of the Th2 phenotype of CD4+ T cells was supported by demonstrating that FACS-sorted purified lung T cells from sensitized, but not control, mice produced IL-4, IL-5, and IL-10 after activation of the CD3/TCR complex. To determine the role of IL-4 in this process, we used mice in which the gene for IL-4 was deleted by homologous recombination. Antigen challenge of IL-4 gene-targeted mice resulted in a marked attenuation of eosinophilic inflammation and IL-5 secretion. To more fully understand the time when IL-4 was involved, we administered a neutralizing anti-IL-4 antibody (11B11) either immediately before antigen challenge or during immunization. Inhibition of IL-4 before antigen challenge had little effect on antigen-induced eosinophil infiltration. However, when 11B11 was administered during immunization, there was a marked reduction in eosinophil infiltration. Cross-linking of the CD3/TCR complex of FACS-sorted lung T cells revealed that only when anti-IL-4 was administered during immunization was there an inhibition of T cell-derived IL-5 and IgE production. These results suggest that IL-4 is central both to the induction of a local Th2 response and to the development of eosinophilic inflammation of the lung. Moreover, we suggest a sequential involvement of IL-4 and IL-5, with IL-4 committing naive T cells to a Th2 phenotype which upon activation by aerosol provocation secrete IL-5, resulting in eosinophil accumulation.

Abstract
When milk-fed mice were orally inoculated with Clostridium ramosum C1, this strain proliferated in the gut and became the dominant component of the fecal microflora. In this experimental model, bovine lactoferrin (bLF) administered with milk suppressed the proliferation of this strain in vivo and decreased the numbers of C. ramosum and other bacteria in the feces. This bacteriostatic effect of bLF was dependent on the concentration of bLF, the duration of feeding, and the administered dose of C. ramosum C1. Compared with bovine serum albumin, ovalbumin, bovine whey protein isolate, or bovine casein, only bLF showed this specific activity. A similar effect of bLF was observed after oral inoculation with C. ramosum JCM 1298, C. paraputrificum VPI 6372, or C. perfringens ATCC 13124. A hydrolysate prepared by digestion of bLF with porcine pepsin showed the same inhibitory effect on proliferation of C. ramosum in vivo as occurred with undigested bLF. These results indicate that ingested bLF can exert a bacteriostatic effect against clostridia in the gut even after it has been digested to some extent.

Abstract
After monoassociation of Bifidobacterium longum with germ-free BALB/c mice (nu/+, heterozygous to nu gene), B. longum was recovered (10(2)-10(4) viable units per organ) from the mesenteric lymph nodes, liver and kidneys for 2 weeks post intragastric inoculation, but not after 4 weeks and later. Cessation of bacterial translocation was not observed in monoassociated nude (nu/nu) mice. Anti-B. longum IgA antibody was detected by ELISA using B. longum cell wall antigen in bile from Week 1 and in ileac wall extract from Week 8 post-association in both nu/+ and nu/nu mice. Total IgA levels in bile, ileac wall extract and caecal contents were also elevated in both mice after monoassociation. Cell-mediated immunity measured by the footpad test and macrophage migration inhibition test using B. longum protein fraction was detected in nu/+ mice in Week 4 and later, but not in nu/nu mice. Nu/nu mice reconstituted 4 weeks prior to monoassociation with lymphocytes from flora bearing nu/+ mice developed delayed footpad reactivity and bacterial translocation stopped after 4 weeks. Cell-mediated immunity rather than IgA antibody correlated well with the cessation of translocation.
