Abstract
Endometriosis, affecting 6%-10% of women, often leads to pain and infertility and its underlying inflammatory mechanisms are poorly understood. We established endometriosis models in wild-type and IL16KO mice, revealing the driver function of IL-16 in initiating endometriosis-related inflammation. Using an in vitro system, we confirmed iron overload-induced GSDME-mediated pyroptosis as a key trigger for IL-16 activation and release. In addition, our research led to the development of Z30702029, a compound inhibiting GSDME-NTD-mediated pyroptosis, which shows promise as a therapeutic intervention for endometriosis. Importantly, our findings extend beyond endometriosis, highlighting GSDME-mediated pyroptosis as a broader pathway for IL-16 release and offering insights into potential treatments for various inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Introduction Obesity is a chronic condition associated with low-grade inflammation mainly due to immune cell infiltration of white adipose tissue (WAT). WAT is distributed into two main depots: subcutaneous WAT (sWAT) and visceral WAT (vWAT), each with different biochemical features and metabolic roles. Proinflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-16 are secreted by both adipocytes and infiltrated immune cells to upregulate inflammation. IL-16 has been widely studied in the peripheral proinflammatory immune response; however, little is known about its role in adipocytes in the context of obesity. Aim & Methods We aimed to study the levels of IL-16 in WAT derived from sWAT and vWAT depots of humans with obesity and the role of this cytokine in palmitate-exposed 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Results The results demonstrated that IL-16 expression was higher in vWAT compared with sWAT in individuals with obesity. In addition, IL-16 serum levels were higher in patients with obesity compared with normal-weight individuals, increased at 6 months after bariatric surgery, and at 12 months after surgery decreased to levels similar to before the intervention. Our in vitro models showed that IL-16 could modulate markers of adipogenesis (Pref1), lipid metabolism (Plin1, Cd36, and Glut4), fibrosis (Hif1a, Col4a, Col6a, and Vegf), and inflammatory signaling (IL6) during adipogenesis and in mature adipocytes. In addition, lipid accumulation and glycerol release assays suggested lipolysis alteration. Discussion Our results suggest a potential role of IL-16 in adipogenesis, lipid and glucose homeostasis, fibrosis, and inflammation in an obesity context.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study compared the immune-related secretory capacity of human vestibular schwannoma (VS) and tumor-assisted macrophages (TAMs) with their normal counterparts (Schwann cells [SC] and peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages [Mo-MFs], respectively), and examined relationships with presurgical hearing and tumor size. METHODS VS tumors (n = 16), auditory nerve (n = 1), blood (n = 9), and great auricular nerves (n = 3) were used. SCs (S100B+ ) and TAMs (CD68+ ) were isolated from VS tissue for culture. The secreted levels of 65 immune-related factors were measured and compared using unpaired t-tests with Welch correction (schwannoma vs. SCs) or Mann-Whitney tests (TAMs and Mo-MFs). Associations between factor concentration and word recognition (WR), pure-tone average (PTA), and tumor size were evaluated with Spearman correlation. RESULTS Secreted factors with significantly higher concentrations in schwannoma versus SC supernatants included IL-2 and BAFF, whereas MMP-1, IL-6, FGF-2, VEGF-A, MIP-3α, and GRO-α concentrations were significantly higher in TAMs versus Mo-MFs (all p < 0.05). Worse WR was significantly associated with higher secretion of fractalkine, eotaxin-3, CD30, and IL-16 by VS cells; IP-10, eotaxin-3, multiple interleukins, GM-CSF, SCF, and CD30 by TAMs; and TNF-α and MIP-1α by Mo-MFs (all p < 0.05). Worse PTA was significantly correlated with higher secretion of IL-16 by VS cells (p < 0.05). Larger tumor size was significantly correlated with higher secretion of eotaxin by VS cells, and of IL-7, IL-21, and LIF by TAMs (all p = 0.017). CONCLUSIONS Differential secretion of immune-related factors was observed in schwannoma versus normal SCs and in TAMs versus Mo-MFs, some of which were correlated with worse hearing and larger VS tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased peripheral cytokine levels have been observed in patients with psychotic disorders; however, large high-quality studies with individually matched healthy controls have been lacking regarding cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of individuals with psychotic disorders. METHODS Patients diagnosed with a non-organic, non-affective psychotic disorder (ICD-10: F20/22-29) within a year prior to inclusion and individually age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included by identical in- and exclusion criteria's except for the psychiatric diagnoses. All participants were aged 18-50 years and individuals with neurological or immunological disorders were excluded. CSF cytokines were analyzed with MesoScale V-PLEX neuroinflammation panel. Co-primary outcomes were CSF interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8. RESULTS We included 104 patients and 104 healthy controls, matching on age, sex and BMI. No significant differences were found for the primary outcomes IL-6 (relative mean difference (MD): 0.97, 95 %CI: 0.84-1.11, p = 0.637) or IL-8 (MD: 1.01, 95 %CI: 0.93-1.09, p = 0.895). Secondary analyses found patients to have higher IL-4 (MD: 1.30, 95 %CI: 1.04-1.61, p = 0.018), a trend towards higher IFN-γ (MD: 1.26, 95 %CI: 0.99-1.59, p = 0.056), and lower IL-16 (MD: 0.83, 95 %CI: 0.74-0.94, p = 0.004) than healthy controls, though not significant after correction for multiple testing. IL-8 and IL-16 were found positively associated with CSF white blood cells and CSF/serum albumin ratio. The study was limited by 77.9 % of the patients being on antipsychotic treatment at time of intervention, and that levels of nine of the 26 cytokines were below lower limit of detection (LLOD) in >50 % of samples; however, for the primary outcomes IL-6 and IL-8 more than 99.5 % of the samples were above LLOD and for IL-8 all samples exceeded the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ). CONCLUSIONS We found no evidence of increased IL-6 and IL-8 in patients with recent-onset psychotic disorders in contrary to previous findings in meta-analyses of CSF cytokines. Secondary analyses found indication of higher IL-4, decreased IL-16, and borderline increased IFN-γ in patients, neither of which have previously been reported on in CSF analyses of individuals with psychotic disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) dysfunction is defined by albumin quotient (QALB) and characterize a group of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients at clinical onset. We evaluated the concentration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 87 cytokines, to better characterize the CSF inflammatory pattern in presence of BBB damage. MATERIALS AND METHOD In an exploratory cohort, CSF cytokines were evaluated by means of Multiplex technology (Bio-Plex Pro-Human Cytokine, GF and Diabetes 27-Plex Panel, Bio-Plex Pro-Human Chemokines 40-Plex Panel, Bio-Plex Pro-Human Inflammation Assays 37-Plex Panel) in a cohort of Other Not Inflammatory Neurological Disorders (ONIND) and in cohort of patients with MS, stratified according to BBB damage into QALB+ and QALB- MS patients. In the validation cohort, we evaluated the relevant molecules in a cohort of MS patients, stratified again into QALB+ and QALB-, including also Neurofilament Light (NfL) and Chitinase 3-like 1 (CHI3L1) CSF concentration. RESULTS While MIP-1α, CXCL-13, and CCL-22 CSF concentrations were higher in both MS groups compared to ONIND, in QALB+ MS CSF concentrations of CXCL-9 (17.85 ± 4.69 pg/mL), CXCL-10 (476.5 ± 324.3 pg/mL), and IL-16 (96.08 ± 86.17 pg/mL) were higher than in QALB- MS (8.98 ± 5368 pg/mL, p < 0.005, 281.0 ± 180.9 pg/mL, p < 0.05, and 47.35 ± 36.87 pg/mL, p < 0.005, respectively) and ONIND (8.98 ± 5368 pg/mlL, p < 0.005, 281.0 ± 180.9 pg/mL, p < 0.005, and 47.35 ± 36.87 pg/mL, p < 0.001, respectively). A strong correlation was observed between CXCL-9 and CXCL-10 in all MS groups (all r>0.75, all p < 0.001). In the validation cohort again CXCL-10 CSF concentration were higher in QALB+ MS than in QALB- MS (94.25 ± 64.75 vs 153.8 ± 99.52, p < 0.05), while no difference was observed in serum. CSF NfL (1642 ± 1963 vs 3231 ± 3492 pg/mL, p < 0.05) and CHI3L1 (183.9 ± 86.62 vs 262 ± 137.5 ng/mL, p < 0.05) were increased in QALB+ MS. CONCLUSIONS BBB damage in MS is linked to a specific CSF cytokines pattern (CXCL-9, CXCL-10, IL-16), that are also involved in astrocyte-microglia interaction. To what extent their continuous production in the CNS may mark a more severe disease course merits to be investigated.

Abstract
Cancer cells can evade immune elimination by activating immunosuppressive signaling pathways in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Targeting immunosuppressive signaling pathways to promote antitumor immunity has become an attractive strategy for cancer therapy. Aurora-A is a well-known oncoprotein that plays a critical role in tumor progression, and its inhibition is considered a promising strategy for treating cancers. However, targeting Aurora-A has not yet got a breakthrough in clinical trials. Recent reports have indicated that inhibition of oncoproteins may reduce antitumor immunity, but the role of tumor-intrinsic Aurora-A in regulating antitumor immunity remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that in tumors with high lymphocyte infiltration (hot tumors), higher tumor-intrinsic Aurora-A expression is associated with a better prognosis in CRC patients. Mechanically, tumor-intrinsic Aurora-A promotes the cytotoxic activity of CD8+ T cells in immune hot CRC via negatively regulating interleukin-16 (IL-16), and the upregulation of IL-16 may impair the therapeutic effect of Aurora-A inhibition. Consequently, combination treatment with IL-16 neutralization improves the therapeutic response to Aurora-A inhibitors in immune hot CRC tumors. Our study provides evidence that tumor-intrinsic Aurora-A contributes to anti-tumor immunity depending on the status of lymphocyte infiltration, highlighting the importance of considering this aspect in cancer therapy targeting Aurora-A. Importantly, our results suggest that combining Aurora-A inhibitors with IL-16-neutralizing antibodies may represent a novel and effective approach for cancer therapy, particularly in tumors with high levels of lymphocyte infiltration.

Abstract
In this study, changes in expression profiles of genes encoding 14 cytokines (IL1A, IL1B, IL2, IL4, IL6, IL8, IL10, IL12A, IL12B, IL16, IFNA, IFNB, TGFB1, and TNFA) were investigated amongst six Anaplasma marginale infected and six healthy crossbred cattle. Health status of the animals was determined based on clinical signs, blood smear examination and molecular detection using A. marginale-specific primers. Total RNA was isolated from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of the infected animals as well as the healthy controls, which was further reverse transcribed to cDNA. Primers for real time PCR were designed using Primer3 software and the results were analyzed by the 2-ΔΔCt method with RPS15 and GAPDH as the reference genes. The expression levels of IL1A, IL1B, IL6, IL10, IL12A, IL12B, and TNFA varied significantly between the two groups, with higher expression in the infected cattle. The transcript abundance of IL4, IL16, and TGFB1 did not vary between the diseased and healthy animals. The expression of IL2 and IL8 was higher in the healthy animals, but the results were non-significant. Taken together, this study provides evidence for difference in expression of cytokine genes in response to anaplasmosis in crossbred cattle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), accounts for the majority of deaths associated with breast tumors. Because this form is aggressive from its appearance and has a strong metastatic potential. The majority of patients are not diagnosed until late stages, highlighting the need for the development of novel diagnostic biomarkers. Immune mediators may affect IBC progression and metastasis installation. AIM OF THE STUDY Analysis of serum proteins to identify a panel of prognostic biomarkers for IBC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Serum levels of 65 analytes were determined in IBC and Non-IBC patients with the ProcartaPlex Human Immune Monitoring 65-Plex Panel. RESULTS Fifteen analytes: 5 cytokines (IL-8, IL-16, IL-21, IL-22 and MIF), 7 chemokines (Eotaxin, eotaxin-3, Fractalkine, IP-10, MIP-1α, MIP-1β and SDF-1α), One growth factors (FGF-2) and 2 soluble receptors (TNFRII and Tweak); were significantly differentially expressed between the two groups. ROC curves showed that twelve of them (IL-8, IL-16, IL-21, IL-22, MIF, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, SDF-1α, TNFRII, FGF-2, Eotaxin-3, and Fractalkine) had AUC values greater than 0.70 and thus had potential clinical utility. Moreover, seven cytokines: IL-8, IL-16, MIF, Eotaxin-3, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, and CD-30 are positively associated with patients who developed distant metastasis. Ten analytes: Eotaxin-3, Fractalkine, IL-16, IL-1α, IL-22, IL-8, MIF, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, and TNFRII are positively associated with patients who had Lymph-Nodes invasion. CONCLUSION This study has uncovered a set of 8 analytes (Eotaxin-3, Fractalkine, IL-16, IL-8, IL-22, MIF, MIP-1α, MIP-1β) that can be used as biomarkers of IBC, and can be utilized for early detection of IBC, preventing metastasis and lymph-Nodes invasion.

Abstract
Evidence on joint association of a phthalate mixture with thyroid function among children and its underlying mechanism is largely unknown. We aimed to explore the associations of 10 urinary phthalate metabolites (mPAEs), either as individuals or as a mixture, with thyroid function indicators [free thyroxine, free triiodothyronine (FT3), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)] in 144 children aged 4-12 years with up to 3 repeated visits across 3 seasons. Significant and positive associations were observed for mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), mono-iso-butyl phthalate (MiBP), and mono-n-butyl phthalate (MnBP) with TSH, as well as monobenzyl phthalate (MBzP) with FT3 in dose-response manners. The relationship between MEHP and TSH remained robust in multiple-phthalate models. Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) models revealed overall linear associations of the 10 mPAE mixture with higher TSH and FT3 levels, and MEHP and MBzP were major contributors. Meanwhile, MEHP, MiBP, and MnBP were linked to the elevation of multiple cytokines including CCL 27, CCL3, CXCL1, and IL-16. Among them, IL-16 mediated the relationships of MEHP and MiBP with TSH, and the mediated proportions were 24.16% and 24.27%, respectively. Our findings suggested that mPAEs dominated by MEHP were dose-responsively associated with elevated TSH among healthy children and mediated by IL-16.

Abstract
Background Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) pose a significant risk to maternal and fetal well-being; however, the etiology and pathogenesis of HDP remain ambiguous. It is now widely acknowledged that inflammatory response and the immune system are closely related to HDP. Previous research has identified several inflammatory cytokines are associated with HDP. This study applied Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to further assess causality. Methods Patients with HDP who participated in the MR analysis presented with four types of HDP: pre-eclampsia or eclampsia (PE); gestational hypertension (GH); pre-existing hypertension complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (EH); and pre-eclampsia or poor fetal growth (PF). A two-sample MR analysis was used to analyze the data in the study. The causal relationship between exposure and outcome was analyzed with inverse variance weighting (IVW), MR Egger, weighted median, weighted mode, and simple mode methods, where IVW was the primary method employed. Results Our MR analysis demonstrated a reliable causative effect of Interleukin-9 (IL-9) and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) on reducing HDP risk, while macrophage inflammatory protein 1-beta (MIP1b), Interleukin-13 (IL-13), and Interleukin-16 (IL-16) were associated with promoting HDP risk. Conclusions This study demonstrated that IL-9, MIF, MIP1b, IL-13, and IL-16 may be cytokines associated with the etiology of HDP, and that a number of inflammatory cytokines are probably involved in the progression of HDP. Additionally, our study revealed that these inflammatory cytokines have causal associations with HDP and may likely be potential therapeutic targets for HDP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is a common cancer type that leads to cancer-related deaths among women. HER2-positive breast cancer, in particular, is associated with poor prognosis due to its high aggressiveness, increased risk of recurrence, and metastasis potential. Previous observational studies have explored potential associations between inflammatory cytokines and the risk of two breast cancer subtypes (HER2-positive and HER2-negative), but the results have been inconsistent. To further elucidate the causal relationship between inflammatory cytokines and the two breast cancer subtypes, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study. METHODS We employed a two-sample bidirectional MR analysis using publicly available genome-wide association study (GWAS) statistics. After obtaining instrumental variables, we conducted MR analyses using five different methods to ensure the reliability of our results. Additionally, we performed tests for heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy. Subsequently, we conducted a reverse MR study by reversing exposure and outcome variables. RESULTS Evidence from our IVW analysis revealed that genetically predicted levels of IL-5 [odds ratio (OR): 1.18, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04-1.35, P = 0.012], IL-7 (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.01-1.22, P = 0.037), and IL-16 (OR: 1.13, 95% CI: 1.02-1.25, P = 0.025) were associated with an increased risk of HER2-positive breast cancer. Conversely, IL-10 (OR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.03-1.26, P = 0.012) was associated with an increased risk of HER2-negative breast cancer. These results showed no evidence of heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy (P > 0.05). Results from the reverse MR analysis indicated no potential causal association between breast cancer and inflammatory cytokines (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate that IL-5, IL-7, and IL-16 are risk factors for HER2-positive breast cancer, with varying degrees of increased probability of HER2-positive breast cancer associated with elevated levels of these inflammatory cytokines. Conversely, IL-10 is a risk factor for HER2-negative breast cancer. Reverse studies have confirmed that breast cancer is not a risk factor for elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines. This series of results clarifies the causal relationship between different types of inflammatory cytokines and different subtypes of breast cancer. Based on this research, potential directions for the mechanism research of different inflammatory cytokines and different subtypes of breast cancer have been provided, and potential genetic basis for identifying and treating different subtypes of breast cancer have been suggested.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease, which leads to inflammatory destruction of periodontal supporting tissues. Interleukin 14 (IL-14), Interleukin 16 (IL-16) and serum amyloid A (SAA) have been demonstrated to be abnormally expressed in inflammatory diseases. Therefore, this study was performed to analyzed the expression and potential clinical values of IL-14, 1L-16 and SAA in periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 100 periodontitis patients and 100 healthy volunteers were recruited and the saliva and serum samples were collected. Then the C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), IL-14, 1L-16 and SAA levels in the saliva and serum of periodontitis patients were measured by Elisa kits. Besides, the significance of CRP, PCT, IL-14, 1L-16 and SAA in periodontitis patients were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. RESULTS The results showed that CRP, PCT, IL-14, 1L-16 and SAA levels were significantly increased in the the saliva and serum of the periodontitis patients. Additionally, the area under the curve (AUC) of saliva CRP, PCT, IL-14, 1L-16 and SAA for the diagnosis of periodontitis were 0.9035, 0.9435, 0.9508, 0.9500 and 0.9467, respectively. The AUC of serum CRP, PCT, IL-14, 1L-16 and SAA for the diagnosis of periodontitis were 0.9035, 0.9435, 0.9508, 0.9500 and 0.9467, respectively. What's more, the diagnostic value of IL-14, 1L-16 and SAA were enhanced when combining with CRP and PCT. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study demonstrated that IL-14, IL-16 and SAA expressions were upregulated in periodontitis patients and exhibited a significant significance for periodontitis diagnosis.

Abstract
Background This study evaluated the change in IL-16 levels in patients with high-grade glial tumors undergoing radiotherapy (RT) and healthy individuals (control group). Materials and Methods Serum IL-16 levels of 35 high-grade glioma patients receiving radiotherapy (RT) and 30 healthy individuals were compared. We compared the IL-16 levels before (RT0) and after the (RT1) and IL-16 levels were measured and the relationship of this change with other characteristics such as age, gender, weight, height, and blood test results. Results The RT0-IL-16 level was approximately 15 pg/ml higher than the RT1 measurement in the patient group. The mean RT0-IL-16 levels in the patient group were approximately 10 pg/ml higher than the mean IL-16 levels in the control group. Likewise, at the RT1 time-point, the mean IL-16 levels for the patient group were approximately 5 pg/ml lower than the mean IL-16 for the control group. The mean RT0-RT1-IL-16 value tended to be higher in female patients than in male patients. Conclusion The application of RT reduces the overall IL-16 levels, suggesting the efficacy of RT, as well as the role of IL-16 in tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Aging is associated with bone marrow (BM) inflammaging and, in some individuals, with the onset of clonal hematopoiesis (CH) of indeterminate potential. In this study conducted on 94 strictly healthy volunteers (18 to 80 yo), we measured BM and peripheral blood (PB) plasma levels of 49 hematopoietic and inflammatory cytokines. With aging, 7 cytokines increased in BM (FLT3L, CXCL9, HGF, FGF-2, CCL27, IL-16, IL-18) and 8 decreased (G-CSF, TNF, IL-2, IL-15, IL-17A, CCL7, IL-4, IL-10). In PB, 10 cytokines increased with age (CXCL9, FLT3L, CCL27, CXCL10, HGF, CCL11, IL-16, IL-6, IL-1 beta, CCL2). CH was associated with higher BM levels of MIF and IL-1 beta, lower BM levels of IL-9 and IL-5 and higher PB levels of IL-15, VEGF-A, IL-2, CXCL8, CXCL1 and G-CSF. These reference values provide a useful tool to investigate anomalies related to inflammaging and potentially leading to the onset of age-related myeloid malignancies or inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Vulvar lichen planus (VLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease which adversely affects patients' quality of life. The pathogenesis of VLP is unknown although Th1 immune response has been implicated. We aimed to discover specific tissue-based protein biomarkers in VLP compared to normal vulvar tissue (NVT), vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) and oral lichen planus (OLP). We used laser capture microdissection-liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry to assess protein expression in fixed lesional mucosal specimens from patients with VLP (n = 5). We then compared proteomic profiles against those of NVT (n = 4), VLS (n = 5), OLP (n = 6) and normal oral mucosa (n = 5), previously published by our group. IL16, PTPRC, PTPRCAP, TAP1 and ITGB2 and were significantly overexpressed in VLP compared to NVT. Ingenuity pathway analysis identified antigen presentation and integrin signalling pathways. Proteins overexpressed in both VLP versus NVT and OLP versus NOM included IL16, PTPRC, PTPRCAP, TAP1, HLA-DPB1, HLA-B and HLA-DRA. This proteomic analysis revealed several overexpressed proteins in VLP that relate to Th1 autoimmunity, including IL16. Overlapping pathways, including those involving IFNγ and Th1 signalling, were observed between VLP, VLS, and OLP.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies of older adults have suggested a differential sex-specific prevalence of sarcopenia, which is a condition characterized by a progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. Recently, we collected serum samples from 80 fully evaluated older adults and identified CXCL12α as a sex-independent serum marker of sarcopenia. Here, we used this serum collection to find potential sex-specific serum markers via the simultaneous quantification of 34 inflammatory cytokines/chemokines. The appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI) was used as a decisive criterion for diagnosing sarcopenia. A Pearson correlation analysis revealed a negative correlation between ASMI and serum IL-16 in females only (p = 0.021). Moreover, women with sarcopenia exhibited significantly higher IL-16 (p = 0.025) serum levels than women in a control group. In contrast, males with sarcopenia had lower IL-16 (p = 0.013) levels than males in a control group. The further use of Fisher's exact test identified obesity (p = 0.027) and high serum levels of IL-16 (p = 0.029) as significant risk factors for sarcopenia in females. In male older adults, however, malnutrition (p = 0.028) and low serum levels of IL-16 (p = 0.031) were the most significant risk factors for sarcopenia. The differential sex-specific associations of IL-16 in older adults may contribute to the development of more precise regression models for future research and elucidate the role of IL-16 in the progression of sarcopenic obesity.

Abstract
Cardiac surgery can provoke an acute cytokine storm that may contribute to the development of postoperative multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. We prospectively observed patients undergoing cardiac surgery and divided them into two groups: the severe group and the mild group. Healthy individuals were enrolled acting as the control group for comparison. Plasma samples and clinical data were recorded at the initiation of cardiac-pulmonary bypass (CPB) and 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after initiation of CPB. Cytokine levels were detected using the Luminex® technique. Thirty-nine adults were enrolled in this study (14 in the severe group, 15 in the mild group, and 10 in the control group). Cytokine concentrations were significantly higher in the severe group. Principal component analysis was used to establish a cytokine storm intensity curve, which represented the overall trend of 10 cytokines. The peak concentrations of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, and IL-16 were 425.1, 198.5, and 623.0 pg/mL, which were more than 1,200, 1,800, and 240 times the normal level, respectively. The maximum cytokine storm intensity predated the maximum Vasoactive-Inotropic Score (VIS) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score in the severe group. Cytokine storm response to cardiac surgery occurred early and was associated with disease severity. Interventions to cytokine storm should be initiated early as guided by cytokine storm biomarkers such as IL-6, IL-10, and IL-16 in severe patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have suggested a potential causal association between Interleukins (ILs) and Colorectal Cancer (CRC), and thus, it is important to examine the causal relationship between them using a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. METHODS The instrumental variables were extracted for IL-1ra, IL-6, IL-6ra, IL-8, IL-16, IL-18, IL-27 from genome-wide association studies of European ancestry. Summary statistics of CRC were also retrieved. An inverse variance-weighted MR approach was implemented as the primary method to compute overall effects from multiple instruments. Additional MR approaches and sensitivity and heterogeneity pleiotropy analyses were also conducted respectively. RESULTS Our analysis suggested a causal effect between an increase of IL-8 and a reduced risk of CRC (odds ratio 0.65; 95% confidence interval, 0.43-0.98; p = 0.041) and did not provide evidence for causal effects of IL-1ra, IL-6, IL-6ra, IL-16, IL-18, IL-27. Sensitivity analyses suggested the robustness of MR results and that they were unlikely to be affected by unbalanced pleiotropy or significant heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS This study investigated the role of ILs in the development of CRC and we found a causal effect between an increase of IL-8 and a reduced risk of CRC but not found evidence for causal effects of IL-1ra, IL-6, IL-6ra, IL-16, IL-18, IL-27. Sensitivity analyses suggested the robustness of MR results and that they were unlikely to be affected by unbalanced pleiotropy or significant heterogeneity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Small vessel disease (SVD) and neuroinflammation both occur in Alzheimer disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. It is unclear whether these processes are related or independent mechanisms in AD, especially in the early stages of disease. We therefore investigated the association between white matter lesions (WML; the most common manifestation of SVD) and CSF biomarkers of neuroinflammation and their effects on cognition in a population without dementia. METHODS Individuals without dementia from the Swedish BioFINDER study were included. The CSF was analyzed for proinflammatory markers (interleukin [IL]-6 and IL-8), cytokines (IL-7, IL-15, and IL-16), chemokines (interferon γ-induced protein 10, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1), markers of vascular injury (soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1, soluble vascular adhesion molecule 1), and markers of angiogenesis (placental growth factor [PlGF], soluble fms-related tyrosine kinase 1 [sFlt-1], vascular endothelial growth factors [VEGF-A and VEFG-D]), and amyloid β (Aβ)42 Aβ40, and p-tau217. WML volumes were determined at baseline and longitudinally over 6 years. Cognition was measured at baseline and follow-up over 8 years. Linear regression models were used to test associations. RESULTS A total of 495 cognitively unimpaired (CU) elderly individuals and 247 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) were included. There was significant worsening in cognition over time, measured by Mini-Mental State Examination, Clinical Dementia Rating, and modified preclinical Alzheimer composite score in CU individuals and patients with MCI, with more rapid worsening in MCI for all cognitive tests. At baseline, higher levels of PlGF (β = 0.156, p < 0.001), lower levels of sFlt-1 (β = -0.086, p = 0.003), and higher levels of IL-8 (β = 0.07, p = 0.030) were associated with more WML in CU individuals. In those with MCI, higher levels of PlGF (β = 0.172, p = 0.001), IL-16 (β = 0.125, p = 0.001), IL-8 (β = 0.096, p = 0.013), IL-6 (β = 0.088, p = 0.023), VEGF-A (β = 0.068, p = 0.028), and VEGF-D (β = 0.082, p = 0.028) were associated with more WML. PlGF was the only biomarker that was associated with WML independent of Aβ status and cognitive impairment. Longitudinal analyses of cognition showed independent effects of CSF inflammatory markers and WML on longitudinal cognition, especially in people without cognitive impairment at baseline. DISCUSSION Most neuroinflammatory CSF biomarkers were associated with WML in individuals without dementia. Our findings especially highlight a role for PlGF, which was associated with WML independent of Aβ status and cognitive impairment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury are at risk of renal replacement therapy and in-hospital death. We aimed to develop and validate a novel predictive model for poor in-hospital outcomes among patients with cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury. METHODS A total of 196 patients diagnosed with cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury were enrolled in this study as the training cohort, and 32 blood cytokines were measured. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and random forest quantile-classifier were performed to identify the key blood predictors for in-hospital composite outcomes (requiring renal replacement therapy or in-hospital death). The logistic regression model incorporating the selected predictors was validated internally using bootstrapping and externally in an independent cohort (n = 52). RESULTS A change in serum creatinine (delta serum creatinine) and interleukin 16 and interleukin 8 were selected as key predictors for composite outcomes. The logistic regression model incorporating interleukin 16, interleukin 8, and delta serum creatinine yielded the optimal performance, with decent discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve: 0.947; area under the precision-recall curve: 0.809) and excellent calibration (Brier score: 0.056, Hosmer-Lemeshow test P = .651). Application of the model in the validation cohort yielded good discrimination. A nomogram was generated for clinical use, and decision curve analysis demonstrated that the new model adds more net benefit than delta serum creatinine. CONCLUSIONS We developed and validated a promising predictive model for in-hospital composite outcomes among patients with cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury and demonstrated interleukin-16 and interleukin-8 as useful predictors to improve risk stratification for poor in-hospital outcomes among those with cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury.

Abstract
In vitro studies and animal studies have shown that chemical compounds contained in carrots, such as falcarinol and falcarindiol, can prevent inflammation. The present study was designed to test whether the oral intake of carrot juice containing falcarinol and falcarindiol affects the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes and the secretion of inflammatory cytokines in human blood. Carrot juice (500 mL) was administered orally to healthy volunteers, and blood samples were drawn before and 1 h after juice intake at the time point when peak concentrations of falcarinol and falcariondiol have been shown in the blood. The blood samples were divided, and one sample was allowed to coagulate for 1 h at room temperature before analyzing the synthesis of thromboxane B2 (TBX2) by the COX1 enzyme using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The other blood samples were stimulated ex vivo with lipopolysaccharide and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h. The ELISA and cytokine multiplex analysis assessed the levels of COX-2-induced prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and inflammatory markers interleukin (IL) 1α, IL1β, IL6, IL16, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα). Inflammatory cytokines such as IL1α and IL16 were significantly reduced in the LPS stimulated blood samples with higher concentrations of falcarinol and falcariondiol compared to the control samples taken before the intake of carrot juice. The levels of TBX2, PGE2, IL1β, IL6, and TNFα were not affected by the carrot juice intake blood samples not stimulated with LPS. In conclusion, carrot juice rich in the polyacetylens falcarinol and falcarindiol affects blood leukocytes, priming them to better cope with inflammatory conditions, evident by the reduced secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines IL1α and IL16.

Abstract
Intestinal inflammation in poultry is a complex response that involves immune and intestinal cells which is still not fully understood. Thus, to better understand the mechanisms that drive the chronic intestinal inflammation in fowl we conducted an experiment applying a previously established nutritional model of low-grade chronic intestinal inflammation to evaluate cytokine and chemokine profiles in the chicken intestine. For this, we placed 90 one-day chickens into two treatments: (1) a control group (CNT) fed a corn-soybean diet, and (2) a group fed a diet high in non-starch polysaccharides (NSP). At days 14, 22, 28 and 36 of age, 6 birds from each treatment were euthanized, jejunal and ileal samples were collected for histological examination and cytokine measurements. The cytokines interferon-alpha (IFN-α), IFN-γ, interleukin-16 (IL-16), IL-10, IL-21, IL-6, macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF), chemokine C-C motif ligand 20 (CCL20), CCL4, CCL5 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were quantified in the intestinal tissue. Histologically, both jejunum and ileum of broilers fed NSP diet showed marked infiltration of mononuclear immune cells into the villi. Further, these birds exhibited a significant (P < 0.05) increase in CCL20 concentration in the jejunum at 14d, but a dramatic reduction of M-CSF at 14 and 21d. Later at 28d and 36d, birds fed the NSP diet exhibited increased IL-16 concentration in the jejunum. Since M-CSF is a monocyte stimulatory cytokine and CCL20 a chemokine of T-cells, the reduced M-CSF and increased production of CCL20 may indicate the involvement of the adaptive immune response, specifically driven by T-cells, occurring around the third week of age in the NSP model. Lastly, as a result of the mononuclear cell infiltration and activation of T-cells, IL-16, a pro-inflammatory T-cell cytokine, increased. Therefore, the current work indicates the importance of adaptive immune cells, especially T-cells, in the chronic intestinal inflammation in broiler chicken.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle play a key role in shaping immunity in the cervicovaginal tract. Cervicovaginal fluid contains cytokines, chemokines, immunoglobulins, and other immune mediators. Many studies have shown that the concentrations of these immune mediators change throughout the menstrual cycle, but the studies have often shown inconsistent results. Our understanding of immunological correlates of the menstrual cycle remains limited and could be improved by meta-analysis of the available evidence. METHODS We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of cervicovaginal immune mediator concentrations throughout the menstrual cycle using individual participant data. Study eligibility included strict definitions of the cycle phase (by progesterone or days since the last menstrual period) and no use of hormonal contraception or intrauterine devices. We performed random-effects meta-analyses using inverse-variance pooling to estimate concentration differences between the follicular and luteal phases. In addition, we performed a new laboratory study, measuring select immune mediators in cervicovaginal lavage samples. RESULTS We screened 1570 abstracts and identified 71 eligible studies. We analyzed data from 31 studies, encompassing 39,589 concentration measurements of 77 immune mediators made on 2112 samples from 871 participants. Meta-analyses were performed on 53 immune mediators. Antibodies, CC-type chemokines, MMPs, IL-6, IL-16, IL-1RA, G-CSF, GNLY, and ICAM1 were lower in the luteal phase than the follicular phase. Only IL-1α, HBD-2, and HBD-3 were elevated in the luteal phase. There was minimal change between the phases for CXCL8, 9, and 10, interferons, TNF, SLPI, elafin, lysozyme, lactoferrin, and interleukins 1β, 2, 10, 12, 13, and 17A. The GRADE strength of evidence was moderate to high for all immune mediators listed here. CONCLUSIONS Despite the variability of cervicovaginal immune mediator measurements, our meta-analyses show clear and consistent changes during the menstrual cycle. Many immune mediators were lower in the luteal phase, including chemokines, antibodies, matrix metalloproteinases, and several interleukins. Only interleukin-1α and beta-defensins were higher in the luteal phase. These cyclical differences may have consequences for immunity, susceptibility to infection, and fertility. Our study emphasizes the need to control for the effect of the menstrual cycle on immune mediators in future studies.

Abstract
Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of stroke. The differential expression of inflammatory and angiogenic factors in thrombi and plasma remain undefined. In this observational cohort study, we evaluated angiogenic factors and inflammatory cytokines, in cerebral thrombi, local cerebral plasma (CP), and peripheral plasma (PP) in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Protein analysis of thrombi, CP and PP were used to measure angiogenic and inflammatory proteins using electrochemiluminescence. Our data indicate that VEGF-A, VEGF-C, bFGF, IL-4, IL-13, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-8, IL-16, IL-6 and IL-12p70 were higher in the thrombi of acute ischemic stroke patients than in the CP and PP of stroke patients. Moreover, the protein levels of GM-CSF were lower in the PP than in the CP and the clot. Moreover, VEGF-D, Flt-1, PIGF, TIE-2, IL-5, TNF-β, IL-15, IL-12/IL-23p40, IFN-γ and IL-17A were higher in PP and CP than in thrombi. Our results show that cytokines mediating the inflammatory response and proteins involved in angiogenesis are differentially expressed in thrombi within the cerebral and peripheral circulations. These data highlight the importance of identifying new biomarkers in different compartments of the circulatory system and in thrombi that may be used for the diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients.

Abstract
Crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) is a pleiotropic neuropeptide, but its immunomodulatory role is not clear. Herein, the mud crab Scylla paramamosain provides a primitive model to study crosstalk between the neuroendocrine and immune systems. In this study, in situ hybridization showed that Sp-CCAP positive signal localized in multiple cells in the nervous tissue, while its conjugate receptor (Sp-CCAPR) positive signal mainly localized in the semigranular cells of hemocytes. The Sp-CCAP mRNA expression level in the thoracic ganglion was significantly up-regulated after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, but the Sp-CCAP mRNA expression level was up-regulated firstly and then down-regulated after the stimulation of polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid [Poly (I:C)]. After the injection of Sp-CCAP synthesis peptide, the phagocytosis ability of hemocytes was significantly higher than that of synchronous control group. Simultaneously, the mRNA expression of phagocytosis related gene (Sp-Rab5), nuclear transcription factor NF-κB homologues (Sp-Relish), C-type lectin (Sp-CTL-B), prophenoloxidase (Sp-proPO), pro-inflammatory cytokines factor (Sp-TNFSF, Sp-IL16) and antimicrobial peptides (Sp-ALF1 and Sp-ALF5) in the hemocytes were also significantly up-regulated at different time points after the injection of Sp-CCAP synthetic peptide, but Sp-TNFSF, Sp-ALF1 and Sp-ALF5 were down-regulated significantly at 24h. In addition, RNA interference of Sp-CCAP suppressed the phagocytic activity of hemocytes and inhibited the mRNA expression of Sp-Rab5, Sp-Relish, Sp-CTL-B, Sp-TNFSF, Sp-IL16 and Sp-ALF5 in the hemocytes, and ultimately weakened the ability of hemolymph bacteria clearance of mud crab. Taken together, these results revealed that CCAP induced innate immune and increased the anti-infection ability in the mud crab.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Depression is very prevalent in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared with the general population and may be associated with poor clinical outcomes. Identifying factors associated with depression could improve outcomes for this at risk group. However, few studies have comprehensively examined the association of contextual and disease-related factors as well as pro inflammatory cytokines interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 17 (IL-17) with depression in RA. Therefore, we aimed to identify the factors significantly associated with depression and severe depression in RA, thus providing a reference for applying clinical care interventions for patients with RA. METHODS An observational cross-sectional study was conducted on 120 RA patients. Potential determinants included contextual and disease-related factors and laboratory variables. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure serum IL-6 and IL-17 levels. Depression was assessed using the Arabic version of the Beck Depression Inventory-II questionnaire. RESULTS A total of 120 patients were included, and up to 67.5% had some degree of depression with 60% having moderate to severe depression. The severity of disease activity of RA (DAS28-ESR (OR, 1.63; 95% CI, 0.899-3.755), HAQ scores (OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 0.702-2.933), and VAS scores for pain (OR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.251-5.223)), besides elevated serum IL-6 (OR, 1.51; 95% CI, 0.832-3.475), IL-17 (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 0.706-2.947), and CRP levels (OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 0.923-2.882) were significantly associated with depression and its severity in the multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION Depression is frequent in RA and is strongly associated to elevated serum IL-6, IL-17, CRP levels, and disease activity-related factors. Key Points • RA patients are at increased risk of developing depression, particularly if their level of disease activity scores, serum IL-6, and IL-17 levels increases. • Patient characteristics associated with depression in RA include living without family, without employments, and with co-morbid hypertension, while RA disease factors are pain, functional disability, and high disease activity. • A multidisciplinary cooperative approach to RA patient care with regular assessments of these factors associated with depression should be incorporated into routine care programs to improve patients' self care capabilities and mitigate or prevent depression in these patients.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the role of interleukin-16 (IL-16) in the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and clarify its regulatory mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of IBD. Methods Seven-week-old wild-type C57BL/6 (WT) and IL-16 knockout (IL-16-/-) female mice were divided into WT control group, WT dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) treatment group, IL-16-/- control group and IL-16-/- DSS treatment group. The DSS model groups were given the water with 25 g/L DSS for 7 days to establish the IBD models, while the control groups were given the normal water. During the modeling period, the body mass of mice was recorded to calculate the body mass curve. After 7 days, the whole colon of the mice was dissected and the level of IL-16 mRNA in the colon tissue was detected by real-time PCR. The level of IL-16 protein in the colon tissue was detected by ELISA. The expression and localization of IL-16 in the colon tissue were observed by immunofluorescence technique. HE staining was used to detect colonic pathological injury in mice. TUNEL assay was used to detect cell apoptosis of the colon tissue. Flow cytometry was used to detect the number and polarization of macrophages in peritoneal cells (F4/80, CD86). Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the distribution of macrophages in the colon tissues. Real-time PCR was used to detect IL-6 and IL-12 mRNA levels in the colon tissue, and IL-6 and IL-12 protein levels were detected by ELISA. Results DSS induced high expression of IL-16 in the colon tissue. Compared with WT DSS treatment group, IL-16-/- DSS treatment group showed less changes in body mass, less colon tissue damage, and markedly lower percents of apoptotic cells in the peritoneal or colonic tissues of IL-16-/- mice. What's more, the number of macrophages, the polarization level of M1 macrophages, and the levels of the iconic inflammatory factors IL-6 and IL-12 significantly decreased in IL-16-/- DSS treatment group compared with WT DSS treatment group. Conclusion IL-16 can aggravate DSS-induced IBD by promoting the polarization of M1 macrophages.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To detect the inflammatory factors of induced sputum (IS) and whole lung lavage fluid in pneumonoconiosis patients and to explore the correlation between the inflammatory factors with pulmonary function. METHODS The records of 45 cases of pneumonoconiosis patients were observed. All patients underwent lung function examination, sputum induction and massive whole lung lavage (WLL) sequentially through advance. IS and whole lung lavage fluid were collected respectively. Inflammatory factors of the two specimens were detected by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The correlation of inflammatory factors between the two specimens was analyzed. The relationship between the inflammatory factor and lung function index was observed. The statistical analysis is performed with SPSS 17.0 for Windows. P < 0.05 is considered to be statistically significant. RESULTS Cytokines (MCP-1, TNF-α MIP-1α, NO(2)(-)/NO(3)(-) and IL-16) were significantly associated between IS and whole lung lavage fluid (P < 0.05), while TNF-α, MCP-1, NO(2)(-)/NO(3)(-) and IL-16 were no significantly associated with lung function index (P > 0.05). MIP-1α was significantly associated with FEV(1.0)/VCmax and MEF(25), respectively (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Inflammatory factors were significantly associated between IS and whole lung lavage fluid, which could indicate early lung injury in pneumonoconiosis patients.

Abstract
The dilute-acid hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse was optimized using a statistical experimental design resulting in hydrolysates containing 57.25 g/L of xylose, which were fermented with a high inoculum concentration (10 g/L of the yeast Candida guilliermondii IM/UFRJ 50088). The addition of urea reduced the time of conversion (tC) to 75 h (without nitrogen source addition tC > 127 h), and, consequently, improving the rates of xylitol bioproduction. Fermentator experiments, using the optimized conditions, resulted in enhanced conversion rates, reducing tC to 30 h. The stability of the yeast in the hydrolysate was also verified in a 480-h cultivation.

Abstract
Eosinophils and CD4+ lymphocytes are preferentially recruited into sites of allergic inflammation. A role for eosinophils in the recruitment of CD4+ lymphocytes has not been defined. We studied the capacity of human eosinophils to release chemoattractants for T lymphocytes. Supernatants of cultured eosinophils contained chemoattractant activity for lymphocytes, which was predominantly due to IL-16 (lymphocyte chemoattractant factor) and RANTES. With neutralizing Abs, eosinophil-derived lymphocyte chemotactic activity was diminished by a mean (+/- SEM) of 60 +/- 3% with polygonal anti-IL-16 Ab, 69 +/- 4% with anti-IL-16 mAb, 48 +/- 3% with anti-CD4 F(ab) (IL-16 receptor blockade), 40 +/- 4% with anti-RANTES mAb, and 88 +/- 5% with a combination of anti-IL-16 and anti-RANTES mAbs. IL-16 and RANTES were detectable in eosinophil-derived supernatants by ELISA. Eosinophils constitutively expressed mRNA transcripts for both IL-16 and RANTES detectable by reverse transcription-PCR and contained preformed IL-16 and RANTES demonstrable by ELISA of cell lysates and by immunocytochemistry of freshly isolated eosinophils. Thus, eosinophils are a source of two cytokines, IL-16 and RANTES, that are chemoattractants for lymphocytes as well as eosinophils. These data indicate that eosinophils could contribute cytokines to enhance the recruitment of additional populations of CD4+ lymphocytes and eosinophils.

Abstract
Human interleukin-16, previously known as lymphocyte chemoattractant factor, is a CD4+ T cell competence growth factor initially described as a chemotactic factor for CD4+ cells. The interaction between IL-16 and its receptor CD4 leads to an increase in intracytoplasmic calcium and inositol triphosphate. Because of the association of intracellular shifts in protein kinase C (PKC) enzyme activity with production of these secondary messengers and the participation of PKC in transducing certain receptor-mediated migratory signals, we investigated the role of PKC in the CD4-mediated migratory response by IL-16. Recombinant IL-16 induces rapid translocation of PKC from the cytosol to the membrane in three separate CD4+ cell types: normal blood T cells, SUPT1 cells, and THP1 cells. PKC inhibitors H7, calphostin C, chelerythrine, and bisindolylmaleimide completely block IL-16-induced lymphocyte migration as well as the motile response induced by HIV-1 gp120 and anti-CD4 antibodies. Taken together, these data suggest a role for PKC in CD4-mediated migratory responses.

Abstract
At sites of inflammation, mononuclear cells are in close contact with aggregated platelets. Although the physiologic role of this association is not clear, this proximity suggests that platelet-derived mediators may play a role in chemoattraction of T lymphocytes. In the current study we investigated serotonin receptor-bearing lymphocyte modulation of T cell migration. Serotonin-stimulated human blood mononuclear cells secrete lymphocyte chemoattractant activity with selective activity for CD4+ T cells. This chemoattractant activity was observed within 2 h of exposure to serotonin and was blocked by serotonin type 2 receptor antagonists. Molecular sieve chromatography of supernatant from serotonin-stimulated PBMCs revealed a single peak of T cell chemoattractant activity with an apparent molecular mass of 56 kDa and a pl of 9.1. Neutralizing experiments with specific mAbs indicated that the serotonin-induced chemotactic factor was the previously characterized lymphocyte chemoattractant factor (LCF), recently designated IL-16. Serotonin induced secretion of IL-16 from CD8+, not CD4+, T cells which did not require the de novo protein synthesis. These studies suggest that serotonin, via serotonin type 2 receptors, may promote the recruitment of CD4+ T lymphocytes into an inflammatory focus.

Abstract
We have reported previously that histamine induces the release of the CD4+ cell-specific lymphocyte chemoattractant factor (LCF) into the culture supernatants of CD8+ cells between 1 and 4 h following stimulation. To determine the mechanism of histamine-induced secretion of LCF, we evaluated the effects of inhibitors of gene transcription and translation on LCF production, and determined the effects of histamine stimulation on LCF mRNA induction and stability. The histamine-induced secretion of LCF from CD8+ cells was not associated with de novo synthesis of protein, nor did histamine have an effect on the induction or stability of LCF mRNA. Biologically active LCF was found in cell lysates of unstimulated CD8+ but not CD4+ T cells; however, LCF mRNA was detected at similar levels in both cell types. The only detectable lymphocyte chemoattractant present in unstimulated cells was LCF, and histamine induced the secretion of LCF, but no other lymphocyte chemoattractant activities, within 4 h. These studies demonstrate that histamine can act as a secretagogue for the protein LCF, which is constitutively synthesized and present in a biologically active form in CD8+ T cells. The rapid appearance of LCF induced by histamine may represent a mechanism for recruitment and activation for CD4+ cells in diseases such as asthma.

Abstract
Lymphocyte chemoattractant factor (LCF) is a polypeptide cytokine which induces both cell motility and activation of T lymphocytes. These LCF-induced events demonstrate an absolute requirement for the cell surface expression of CD4. Because many CD4-mediated T lymphocyte activation events have been demonstrated to require the association of the src-related tyrosine kinase p56lck with the cytoplasmic domain of CD4, we examined the role of p56lck in LCF-induced lymphocyte migration in a murine T cell hybridoma line expressing transfected human CD4. LCF induces the catalytic activity of CD4 associated p56lck at chemoattractant concentrations of cytokine. Hybridoma cells that express CD4 with cytoplasmic point mutations which uncouple the CD4-lck association lack both lck enzymatic activity and chemotactic responses to LCF. The enzymatic activity of lck however does not appear to be required for CD4-mediated migratory signal. First, the protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A blocked LCF-induced p56lck activation but had no effect on the LCF-induced motile response. Second, T cell hybridomas expressing a chimeric receptor combining the extracellular domain of human CD4 and murine p56lck which lacked the kinase domain had a normal LCF-induced motile response. We conclude from these observations that CD4-lck coupling is essential for LCF-induced T lymphocyte migration but the motile response is independent of the enzymatic activity of CD4-associated p56lck.

Abstract
The LCF is a unique interleukin without significant homology to other interleukins or chemokines. It is a chemoattractant factor for all CD4+ cells and either uses CD4 as its receptor or utilizes a cell surface complex of molecules for which there is an absolute requirement for the presence of CD4. In addition to its chemoattractant activity, it is a growth factor for CD4+ T cells, inducing resting cells to enter G1, as evidenced by the expression of MHC II molecules and IL-2R. Once induced by LCF to express IL-2R, CD4+ T cells become competent to respond to LCF and progress through the cell cycle to proliferation. LCF's activity on CD4 cells defines a role for CD4 on the eosinophil and monocyte and broadens the scope of functions of CD4 on the T cell. In this regard it may have importance in human disease states that are characterized by increased numbers of activated CD4+ cells, such as sarcoidosis, rheumatoid arthritis, or asthma. Likewise, it may play a key role in monocyte and eosinophil chemotaxis into tissues, being important in the latter in concert with hematopoietic factors that increase the available eosinophil pool.

Abstract
While LCF is present in BAL early after antigen challenge, we know little about its other potential effects beyond CD4+ T cell, monocyte, and eosinophil chemotaxis and monocyte and CD4+ T cell activation. The work described here focuses on the hypothesis that the secreted protein products of T cells participate in the airway inflammatory process that underlies human asthma, and in particular that LCF could play an early role because of the unusual responsiveness of LCF-producing T to histamine. To date, most studies have addressed the measurement of cytokines derived from CD4+ T cells (e.g., IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, and GM-CSF) in the airways of asthmatics, and attempted to correlate the presence of protein or mRNA with the complexion of the inflammatory infiltrate. These studies have been based upon the reports that there are increased numbers of CD4+ T cells in the airways of asthmatics, and that the presence of eosinophils might correlate with the secretion of TH2-type cytokines like IL-3, -4, and -5. Using this information as a background, our work has approached the problem in an entirely different way. We have focused our attention on the early events in antigen-induced asthma that are responsible for CD4+ cell accumulation in the lung, including CD4+ T cells, eosinophils, and monocytes. We have attempted to identify mechanisms by which mast cell mediators, in particular histamine, might play a role in the secretion of chemotactic lymphokines that are selective for CD4+ cells by using CD4 itself as a chemotactic factor receptor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Lymphocyte chemoattractant factor (LCF) is a lymphocyte cell product that stimulates a migratory response in CD4+ lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils. In concert with its chemoattractant activity, LCF induces human T-lymphocyte expression of interleukin 2 receptor. Here we describe the molecular cloning of cDNA encoding human LCF. It is a novel interleukin with no significant homology to any previously described cytokine families. There is an absolute requirement for both autoaggregation of LCF monomers and for membrane-expressed CD4 molecules for LCF-induced migration in lymphocytes.

Abstract
Human T lymphocytes were collected after they had migrated towards N-formyl-methionyl-leukylphenylalanine (fMLP), rIL-8, human IL-10 (hIL-10), and epidermal lymphocyte chemotactic factor (ELCF). They were stained for determination of their phenotype by FACS analysis using anti-CD4, -CD8, -CD18, -CD45R0 and OPD4 antibodies. Human IL-10 increased the percentage of CD8+ T lymphocytes in the migrating cell population by 152% compared with cells migrating towards the medium and decreased the number of CD4+ T lymphocytes by 79%. ELCF increased the number of CD4+ T lymphocytes by 18%, and the number of CD45R0+ T lymphocytes by 52%, while the number of CD8+ T lymphocytes was decreased by 20%. rIL-8 increased the number of CD4+ T lymphocytes and decreased the CD8+ T lymphocytes. The distribution of the different subpopulations of T lymphocytes was not changed significantly by fMLP. The observed changes in the phenotypes did not occur when incubating T lymphocytes with the chemotaxins. Our observations demonstrate that individual chemotactic factors will attract specific subsets of T lymphocytes. They may help to explain the predominance of memory T lymphocytes (CD4R0+, CD4+) in allergic contact dermatitis and certain other skin diseases. They also confirm the results of a recent study, that showed hIL-10 to be selectively chemotactic for CD8+ T lymphocytes.

Abstract
Lymphocyte chemoattractant factor (LCF) is a tetrameric glycoprotein of 56,000 relative molecular mass produced by activated T lymphocytes. LCF binds to CD4 and has previously been found to stimulate migration of CD4+ lymphocytes and monocytes. Because human eosinophils, like T cells and monocytes, express CD4, we examined functional responses of eosinophils to LCF. Recombinant LCF (rLCF) expressed in COS cells was purified on a CD4 affinity column. Migration of eosinophils was elicited by rLCF at low concentrations: the 50% effective dose (ED50) was 10(-12) to 10(-11) M, concentrations 100- to 1,000-fold lower than the ED50s for the recognized eosinophil chemoattractants C5a and platelet-activating factor. Two other ligands which bound to CD4, human immunodeficiency virus-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 and monoclonal antibody OKT4, also stimulated eosinophil migration. Monovalent OKT4 Fab competitively inhibited eosinophil responses to rLCF. rLCF did not influence other functional responses of eosinophils tested, including degranulation, superoxide generation, leukotriene C4 production, in vitro survival, or surface expression of the adherence receptor CR3 (CD11b), human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen DR, or interleukin 2 receptor p55 (CD25). We conclude that CD4 on eosinophils is capable of transducing a migratory stimulus and serves as a receptor for a chemoattractant lymphokine LCF. T cell-derived LCF may contribute to recruitment of eosinophils and CD4+ mononuclear cells concomitantly at inflammatory reactions.
