Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inflammatory processes play an important and complex role in the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD), but, so far, no specific investigation of chemokines exists. METHODS In this study, we investigated the changes of plasma chemokine levels (eotaxin-1, eotaxin-3, IP-10, MCP-1, MCP-4, MDC, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, and TARC) in 47 MDD patients before (PRE) and after 1 and 6 weeks of pharmacological treatment (POST1 and POST6) in relation to the response to antidepressive therapy. We hypothesized that the direction of alterations in levels of chemokines would significantly differ between the 2 groups, responders and nonresponders. RESULTS Among the investigated chemokines, only the level of macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) changed significantly in relation to therapy response. MDC levels were significantly elevated in the responder group at POST6. DISCUSSION MDC is a constitutively expressed chemokine involved in the pathophysiology of infectious and neoplastic diseases. This is the first study providing valuable hints that MDC might serve as a marker of pharmacological therapy response in MDD.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronically relapsing inflammatory skin disease, associated with basophil infiltration into skin lesions and Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus)-induced inflammation. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including microbicidal peptide human neutrophil α-defensins (HNP) and dermcidin, can exert immunomodulating activity in innate immunity and skin inflammation. We investigated the plasma concentration of HNP and dermcidin, the expression of bacterial toll-like receptor (TLR) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors of basophils and plasma concentration and ex vivo induction of AD-related inflammatory cytokines and chemokines using ELISA and flow cytometry, in AD patients and control subjects. Plasma concentrations of HNP, dermcidin and AD-related Th2 chemokines CCL17, CCL22 and CCL27 were significantly elevated in AD patients compared with controls (all p < 0.05). Plasma concentrations of CCL27 and CCL22 were found to correlate positively with SCORing atopic dermatitis (SCORAD), objective SCORAD, % area affected, lichenification and disease intensity, and CCL27 also correlated positively with pruritus in AD patients (all p < 0.05). Protein expressions of NOD2 but not TLR2 of basophils were significantly down-regulated in AD patients compared with controls (p = 0.001). Correspondingly, there were lower ex vivo % inductions of allergic inflammatory tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-6 and CXCL8 from peripheral blood mononuclear cells upon NOD2 ligand S. aureus derived muramyl dipeptide stimulation in AD patients comparing with controls. The aberrant activation of bacterial PRRs of basophils and anti-bacterial innate immune response should be related with the allergic inflammation of AD.

Abstract
Defects in antigen presenting cell function have been implicated in glioma immunosuppression. We measured peripheral CCL22, a dendritic cell/macrophage derived T cell trafficking chemokine, in sera from 1,208 glioma cases and 976 controls to assess whether it might provide a biomarker of glioma risk, survival and immune dysfunction. Cluster models were used to examine the relationship between CCL22 and glioma risk. Patient survival was assessed using Cox regression models. We also examined the relationship between CCL22 levels and CD4 cell counts, as well as allergy history and IgE levels. CCL22 levels were significantly lower among glioma cases compared with controls (Mean ± SEM: 1.23 ± 0.03 ng/mL in cases vs. 1.60 ± 0.03 ng/mL in controls, p < 0.0001) and this difference remained significant even after controlling for other covariates in the cluster models (highest quartile versus lowest Odds Ratio = 0.21, p < 0.0001). CD4 cell counts were positively correlated with CCL22 in glioma cases (Spearman r(2) = 0.51, p < 0.01) and were significantly lower in cases compared with controls. Higher CCL22 levels were associated with longer survival in all cases combined and in GBM cases (hazard ratio(allcases) = 0.81; 95% CI: 0.72-0.91, p = 0.0003). CCL22 levels were not associated with IgE level or self-reported allergies. Circulating CCL22 levels are related to both glioma risk and survival duration independent of age, histology, grade and IDH mutation status. CCL22 should be considered a marker of immune status with potential prognostic value.

Abstract
Asthma and atopic dermatitis are common allergic diseases, and their prevalence has increased in urban children. Recently, it is becoming understood that forest environment has favorable health effects in patients with chronic diseases. To investigate favorable clinical and immunologic effects of forest, we examined changes in clinical symptoms, indirect airway inflammatory marker, and serum chemokines before and after a short-term forest trip. The forest trips were performed with 21 children with asthma and 27 children with atopic dermatitis. All participating children were living in air polluted urban inner-city. We measured spirometry and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in children with asthma and measured scoring atopic dermatitis (SCORAD) index and Thymus and Activation-Regulated Chemokine (TARC)/CCL17 and Macrophage-Derived Chemokine (MDC)/CCL22 levels in children with atopic dermatitis before and after the forest trip. Indoor air pollutants such as indoor mold, particulate matter 10 (PM10) and total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) of each child's home and the accommodations within forest were measured. A significant increase in forced vital capacity (FVC) and a significant decrease in FeNO were observed after the forest trip in children with asthma. SCORAD indices and MDC/CCL22 levels were significantly decreased after the forest trip in children with atopic dermatitis. Airborne mold and PM10 levels in indoor were significantly lower in the forest accommodations than those of children's homes; however, TVOC levels were not different between the two measured sites. Short-term exposure to forest environment may have clinical and immunological effects in children with allergic diseases who were living in the urban community.

Abstract
Sixteen plasma markers of inflammation and oxidative stress were measured during OGTT in 54 subjects. Leptin, RBP4, CRP, OPN, ANG, MDC, and MCSF concentrations significantly decreased during OGTT (P<0.05). IL6, IL8, and MCP3 concentrations significantly increased during OGTT (P<0.05). These results provide evidence that glucose ingestion affects systemic inflammation and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Background The WTC collapse exposed over 300,000 people to high concentrations of WTC-PM; particulates up to ∼50 mm were recovered from rescue workers’ lungs. Elevated MDC and GM-CSF independently predicted subsequent lung injury in WTC-PM-exposed workers. Our hypotheses are that components of WTC dust strongly induce GM-CSF and MDC in AM; and that these two risk factors are in separate inflammatory pathways. Methodology/Principal Findings Normal adherent AM from 15 subjects without WTC-exposure were incubated in media alone, LPS 40 ng/mL, or suspensions of WTC-PM10–53 or WTC-PM2.5 at concentrations of 10, 50 or 100 µg/mL for 24 hours; supernatants assayed for 39 chemokines/cytokines. In addition, sera from WTC-exposed subjects who developed lung injury were assayed for the same cytokines. In the in vitro studies, cytokines formed two clusters with GM-CSF and MDC as a result of PM10–53 and PM2.5. GM-CSF clustered with IL-6 and IL-12(p70) at baseline, after exposure to WTC-PM10–53 and in sera of WTC dust-exposed subjects (n = 70) with WTC lung injury. Similarly, MDC clustered with GRO and MCP-1. WTC-PM10–53 consistently induced more cytokine release than WTC-PM2.5 at 100 µg/mL. Individual baseline expression correlated with WTC-PM-induced GM-CSF and MDC. Conclusions WTC-PM10–53 induced a stronger inflammatory response by human AM than WTC-PM2.5. This large particle exposure may have contributed to the high incidence of lung injury in those exposed to particles at the WTC site. GM-CSF and MDC consistently cluster separately, suggesting a role for differential cytokine release in WTC-PM injury. Subject-specific response to WTC-PM may underlie individual susceptibility to lung injury after irritant dust exposure.

Abstract
We tried to determine whether high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) patterns correlate with the immunopathogenetic findings and whether they could provide helpful information for predicting the outcomes in non-neoplastic drug-induced pneumonitis. The HRCT images were classified as most suggestive of pneumonitis, diffuse alveolar damage (DAD), non-specific interstitial pneumonia, organizing pneumonia (OP), hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) in 34 patients with non-neoplastic drug-induced pneumonitis. The patients were analyzed for the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cell findings and for the circulating levels of interferon-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) and macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC), which were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The cumulative dose of corticosteroids received by the patients and the day when they required supplemental oxygen were calculated as outcome markers. There were no differences in the circulating chemokine levels and the BAL cell profiles except for the eosinophil percentages among the HRCT patterns. Most of the cases with pulmonary eosinophilia belonged to the OP and AEP groups, and the circulating MDC levels correlated with BAL eosinophil percentages. We could not find any relationship between the BAL cell profiles or the chemokine levels and the outcome markers. In contrast, the HRCT patterns rather predicted the outcomes because larger cumulative dose of steroids and longer oxygen supply were required for the patients in the DAD and OP groups. In contrast, all patients with AEP recovered without steroid administration. The present study suggests that HRCT does not predict cellular pathophysiology but it may predict the corticosteroid use in non-neoplastic drug-induced pneumonitis.
