Abstract
Experimental data suggested activation of yes-associated protein (YAP-1) as a critical regulator of liver regeneration (LR). Serotonin (5-HT) promotes LR in rodent models and has been proposed to act via YAP-1. How 5-HT affects LR is incompletely understood. A possible mechanism how 5-HT affects human LR was explored. Sixty-one patients were included. Tissue samples prior and 2 h after induction of LR were collected. Circulating levels of 5-HT and osteopontin (OPN) were assessed. YAP-1, its phosphorylation states, cytokeratin 19 (CK-19) and OPN were assessed using immunofluorescence. A mouse model of biliary epithelial cells (BECs) specific deletion of YAP/TAZ was developed. YAP-1 increased as early as 2 h after induction of LR (p = 0.025) predominantly in BECs. BEC specific deletion of YAP/TAZ reduced LR after 70% partial hepatectomy in mice (Ki67%, p < 0.001). SSRI treatment, depleting intra-platelet 5-HT, abolished YAP-1 and OPN induction upon LR. Portal vein 5-HT levels correlated with intrahepatic YAP-1 expression upon LR (R = 0.703, p = 0.035). OPN colocalized with YAP-1 in BECs and its circulating levels increased in the liver vein 2 h after induction of LR (p = 0.017). In the context of LR tyrosine-phosphorylated YAP-1 significantly increased (p = 0.042). Stimulating BECs with 5-HT resulted in increased YAP-1 activation via tyrosine-phosphorylation and subsequently increased OPN expression. BECs YAP-1 appears to be critical for LR in mice and humans. Our evidence suggests that 5-HT, at least in part, exerts its pro-regenerative effects via YAP-1 tyrosine-phosphorylation in BECs and subsequent OPN-dependent paracrine immunomodulation.

Abstract
The importance of tetraspanin proteins in regulating migration has been demonstrated in many diverse cellular systems. However, the function of the leukocyte-restricted tetraspanin CD53 remains obscure. We therefore hypothesized that CD53 plays a role in regulating leukocyte recruitment and tested this hypothesis by examining responses of CD53-deficient mice to a range of inflammatory stimuli. Deletion of CD53 significantly reduced neutrophil recruitment to the acutely inflamed peritoneal cavity. Intravital microscopy revealed that in response to several inflammatory and chemotactic stimuli, absence of CD53 had only minor effects on leukocyte rolling and adhesion in postcapillary venules. In contrast, Cd53-/- mice showed a defect in leukocyte transmigration induced by TNF, CXCL1 and CCL2, and a reduced capacity for leukocyte retention on the endothelial surface under shear flow. Comparison of adhesion molecule expression in wild-type and Cd53-/- neutrophils revealed no alteration in expression of β2 integrins, whereas L-selectin was almost completely absent from Cd53-/- neutrophils. In addition, Cd53-/- neutrophils showed defects in activation-induced cytoskeletal remodeling and translocation to the cell periphery, responses necessary for efficient transendothelial migration, as well as increased α3 integrin expression. These alterations were associated with effects on inflammation, so that in Cd53-/- mice, the onset of neutrophil-dependent serum-induced arthritis was delayed. Together, these findings demonstrate a role for tetraspanin CD53 in promotion of neutrophil transendothelial migration and inflammation, associated with CD53-mediated regulation of L-selectin expression, attachment to the endothelial surface, integrin expression and trafficking, and cytoskeletal function.

Abstract
There is an urgent need for an easily assessable preoperative test to predict postoperative liver function recovery and thereby determine the optimal time point of liver resection, specifically as current markers are often expensive, time consuming, and invasive. Emerging evidence suggests that microRNA (miRNA) signatures represent potent diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment-response biomarkers for several diseases. Using next-generation sequencing as an unbiased systematic approach, 554 miRNAs were detected in preoperative plasma of 21 patients suffering from postoperative liver dysfunction (LD) after liver resection and 27 matched controls. Subsequently, we identified a miRNA signature-consisting of miRNAs 151a-5p, 192-5p, and 122-5p-that highly correlated with patients developing postoperative LD after liver resection. The predictive potential for postoperative LD was subsequently confirmed using real-time PCR in an independent validation cohort of 98 patients. Ultimately, a regression model of the two miRNA ratios 151a-5p to 192-5p and 122-5p to 151a-5p was found to reliably predict postoperative LD, severe morbidity, prolonged intensive care unit and hospital stays, and even mortality before an operation with a remarkable accuracy, thereby outperforming established markers of postoperative LD. Ultimately, we documented that miRNA ratios closely followed liver function recovery after partial hepatectomy. Conclusion: Our data demonstrate the clinical utility of an miRNA-based biomarker to support the selection of patients undergoing partial hepatectomy. The dynamical changes during liver function recovery indicate a possible role in individualized patient treatment. Thereby, our data might help to tailor surgical strategies to the specific risk profile of patients.

Abstract
Platelet-leukocyte interactions promote acute glomerulonephritis. However, neither the nature of the interactions between platelets and immune cells nor the capacity of platelets to promote leukocyte activation has been characterized in this condition. We used confocal intravital microscopy to define the interactions of platelets with neutrophils, monocytes, and endothelial cells in glomerular capillaries in mice. In the absence of inflammation, platelets underwent rapid on/off interactions with immune cells. During glomerulonephritis induced by in situ immune complex formation, platelets that interacted with neutrophils or monocytes, but not with other intraglomerular cells, were retained in the glomerulus for prolonged durations. Depletion of platelets inhibited both neutrophil recruitment and activation. Inhibition of platelet activating factor reduced neutrophil recruitment without impacting reactive oxygen species generation, while blocking CXC chemokine ligand 7 (CXCL7) reduced both responses. In contrast, inhibition of the adenosine diphosphate and thromboxane A2 pathways inhibited neutrophil reactive oxygen species generation without affecting neutrophil adhesion. Thus, platelet retention in glomerular capillaries following immune complex deposition stems from prolongation of platelet interactions with immune cells but not other substrates. Pro-inflammatory mediators play divergent roles in promoting neutrophil retention and activation in glomerular capillaries.

Abstract
Although effector CD4+ T cells readily respond to antigen outside the vasculature, how they respond to intravascular antigens is unknown. Here we show the process of intravascular antigen recognition using intravital multiphoton microscopy of glomeruli. CD4+ T cells undergo intravascular migration within uninflamed glomeruli. Similarly, while MHCII is not expressed by intrinsic glomerular cells, intravascular MHCII-expressing immune cells patrol glomerular capillaries, interacting with CD4+ T cells. Following intravascular deposition of antigen in glomeruli, effector CD4+ T-cell responses, including NFAT1 nuclear translocation and decreased migration, are consistent with antigen recognition. Of the MHCII+ immune cells adherent in glomerular capillaries, only monocytes are retained for prolonged durations. These cells can also induce T-cell proliferation in vitro. Moreover, monocyte depletion reduces CD4+ T-cell-dependent glomerular inflammation. These findings indicate that MHCII+ monocytes patrolling the glomerular microvasculature can present intravascular antigen to CD4+ T cells within glomerular capillaries, leading to antigen-dependent inflammation. Monocytes constitutively adhere and crawl along the glomerular endothelium and are thought to contribute to glomerulonephritis. Here the authors use multiphoton microscopy to show local antigen presentation by MHCII+ monocytes to T cells in glomerular capillaries of mice.

Abstract
Transfusion of platelet concentrates represents an important treatment for various bleeding complications. However, the short half-life and frequent contaminations with bacteria restrict the availability of platelet concentrates and raise a clear demand for platelets generated ex vivo. Therefore, in vitro platelet generation from megakaryocytes represents an important research topic. A vital step for this process represents accurate analysis of thrombopoiesis and proplatelet formation, which is usually conducted manually. We aimed to develop a novel method for automated classification and analysis of proplatelet-forming megakaryocytes in vitro. After fluorescent labelling of surface and nucleus, MKs were automatically categorized and analysed with a novel pipeline of the open source software CellProfiler. Our new workflow is able to detect and quantify four subtypes of megakaryocytes undergoing thrombopoiesis: proplatelet-forming, spreading, pseudopodia-forming and terminally differentiated, anucleated megakaryocytes. Furthermore, we were able to characterize the inhibitory effect of dasatinib on thrombopoiesis in more detail. Our new workflow enabled rapid, unbiased, quantitative and qualitative in-depth analysis of proplatelet formation based on morphological characteristics. Clinicians and basic researchers alike will benefit from this novel technique that allows reliable and unbiased quantification of proplatelet formation. It thereby provides a valuable tool for the development of methods to generate platelets ex vivo and to detect effects of drugs on megakaryocyte differentiation.

Abstract
The severity of cardiac dysfunction predicts mortality in sepsis. Activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor type (TRPV)-1, a predominantly neuronal nonselective cation channel, has been shown to improve outcome in sepsis and endotoxemia. However, the role of TRPV1 and the identity of its endogenous ligands in the cardiac dysfunction caused by sepsis and endotoxemia are unknown. Using TRPV1-/- and TRPV1+/+ mice, we showed that endogenous activation of cardiac TRPV1 during sepsis is key to limiting the ensuing cardiac dysfunction. Use of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry lipid analysis and selective inhibitors of arachidonic metabolism suggest that the arachidonate-derived TRPV1 activator, 20-hydroxyeicosateraenoic acid (20-HETE), underlies a substantial component of TRPV1-mediated cardioprotection in sepsis. Moreover, using selective antagonists for neuropeptide receptors, we show that this effect of TRPV1 relates to the activity of neuronally released cardiac calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and that, accordingly, administration of CGRP can rescue cardiac dysfunction in severe endotoxemia. In sum activation of TRPV1 by 20-HETE leads to the release of CGRP, which protects the heart against the cardiac dysfunction in endotoxemia and identifies both TRPV1 and CGRP receptors as potential therapeutic targets in endotoxemia.-Chen, J., Hamers, A.

Abstract
Platelets, besides their specialised role in haemostasis and atherothrombosis, actively modulate innate and adaptive immune responses with crucial roles in immune surveillance, inflammation and host defence during infection. An important prerequisite for platelet-mediated changes of immune functions involves direct engagement with different types of leukocytes. Indeed, increased platelet-leukocyte aggregates (PLAs) within the circulation and/or locally at the site of inflammation represent markers of many thrombo-inflammatory diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, acute lung injury, renal and cerebral inflammation. Therefore, measurement of PLAs could provide an attractive and easily accessible prognostic and/or diagnostic tool for many diseases. To measure PLAs in different (patho-)physiological settings in human and animal models flow cytometric and microscopic approaches have been applied. These techniques represent complementary tools to study different aspects relating to the involvement of leukocyte subtypes and molecules, as well as location of PLAs within tissues, dynamics of their interactions and/or dynamic changes in leukocyte and platelet behaviour. This review summarises various approaches to measure and interpret PLAs and discusses potential experimental factors influencing platelet binding to leukocytes. Furthermore, we summarise insights gained from studies regarding the underlying mechanism of platelet-leukocyte interactions and discuss implications of these interactions in health and disease.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Objective— Reduced antiplatelet drug efficacy occurs in conditions of increased platelet turnover, associated with increased proportions of drug-free, that is, uninhibited, platelets. Here, we detail mechanisms by which drug-free platelets promote platelet aggregation in the face of standard antiplatelet therapy. Approach and Results— To model standard antiplatelet therapy, platelets were treated in vitro with aspirin, the P2Y12 receptor blocker prasugrel active metabolite, or aspirin plus prasugrel active metabolite. Different proportions of uninhibited platelets were then introduced. Light transmission aggregometry analysis demonstrated clear positive associations between proportions of drug-free platelets and percentage platelet aggregation in response to a range of platelet agonists. Using differential platelet labeling coupled with advanced flow cytometry and confocal imaging we found aggregates formed in mixtures of aspirin-inhibited platelets together with drug-free platelets were characterized by intermingled platelet populations. This distribution is in accordance with the ability of drug-free platelets to generate thromboxane A2 and so drive secondary platelet activation. Conversely, aggregates formed in mixtures of prasugrel active metabolite–inhibited or aspirin plus prasugrel active metabolite–inhibited platelets together with drug-free platelets were characterized by distinct cores of drug-free platelets. This distribution is consistent with the ability of drug-free platelets to respond to the secondary activator ADP. Conclusions— These experiments are the first to image the interactions of inhibited and uninhibited platelets in the formation of platelet aggregates. They demonstrate that a general population of platelets can contain subpopulations that respond strikingly differently to overall stimulation of the population and so act as the seed for platelet aggregation.

Abstract
Adherent neutrophils responding to chemoattractants release TNF in proximity of endothelial cell junctions to mediate microvascular leakage. Microvascular plasma protein leakage is an essential component of the inflammatory response and serves an important function in local host defense and tissue repair. Mediators such as histamine and bradykinin act directly on venules to increase the permeability of endothelial cell (EC) junctions. Neutrophil chemoattractants also induce leakage, a response that is dependent on neutrophil adhesion to ECs, but the underlying mechanism has proved elusive. Through application of confocal intravital microscopy to the mouse cremaster muscle, we show that neutrophils responding to chemoattractants release TNF when in close proximity of EC junctions. In vitro, neutrophils adherent to ICAM-1 or ICAM-2 rapidly released TNF in response to LTB4, C5a, and KC. Further, in TNFR−/− mice, neutrophils accumulated normally in response to chemoattractants administered to the cremaster muscle or dorsal skin, but neutrophil-dependent plasma protein leakage was abolished. Similar results were obtained in chimeric mice deficient in leukocyte TNF. A locally injected TNF blocking antibody was also able to inhibit neutrophil-dependent plasma leakage, but had no effect on the response induced by bradykinin. The results suggest that TNF mediates neutrophil-dependent microvascular leakage. This mechanism may contribute to the effects of TNF inhibitors in inflammatory diseases and indicates possible applications in life-threatening acute edema.

Abstract
A rise in intraluminal pressure triggers vasoconstriction in resistance arteries, which is associated with local generation of the vasoconstrictor 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE). Importantly, dysregulation of 20-HETE synthesis and activity has been implicated in several cardiovascular disease states, including ischemic disease, hypertension, and stroke; however, the exact molecular pathways involved in mediating 20-HETE bioactivity are uncertain. We investigated whether 20-HETE activates the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and thereby regulates vascular function and blood pressure. We demonstrate that 20-HETE causes dose-dependent increases in blood pressure, coronary perfusion pressure (isolated Langendorff), and pressure-induced constriction of resistance arteries (perfusion myography) that is substantially attenuated in TRPV1 knockout mice and by treatment with the neurokinin 1 receptor antagonist RP67580. Furthermore, we show that both channel activation (via patch-clamping of dorsal root ganglion neurons) and vessel constriction are enhanced under inflammatory conditions, and our findings indicate a predominant role for protein kinase A-mediated sensitization of TRPV1 in these phenomena. Finally, we identify a prominence of these pathway in males compared with females, an effect we relate to reduced protein kinase A-induced phosphorylation of TRPV1. 20-HETE-induced activation of TRPV1, in part, mediates pressure-induced myogenic constriction and underlies 20-HETE-induced elevations in blood pressure and coronary resistance. Our findings identify a novel vasoconstrictor 20-HETE/TRPV1 pathway that may offer potential for therapeutic targeting in cardiovascular diseases associated with elevated 20-HETE implicated in dysregulated organ blood flow, such as stroke or hypertension.

Abstract
Within the interleukin-10 receptor 1 (IL10R1) gene, two common variants are associated with certain diseases: single-nucleotide polymorphism 3 (SNP3), a serine-138 to glycine mutation is in linkage disequilibrium with SNP4, a glycine-330 to arginine mutation, both of which are considered loss-of-function alleles. However, the molecular consequence of G330R is unknown. We investigated possible roles of G330R on the dynamics of IL10R1 surface expression and signal transducer and activator of transduction (STAT) phosphorylation. HeLa cells expressing the respective IL10R1 haplotype were stimulated with IL-10. Significant reduction of IL10R1 surface expression was observed after ligand binding. Receptor expression remained low on continuous incubation with IL-10. In contrast, when treated with an IL-10 pulse, IL10R1 surface expression returned to its resting state within 3-9 h irrespective of the haplotype. STAT3 was rapidly phosphorylated both in cells with wild-type (WT) or variant IL10R1, and maintained phosphorylated when cells were cultured with IL-10. On IL-10 pulse, however, STAT3 phosphorylation declined rapidly in cells expressing IL10R1-G330R but not IL10R1-WT or S138G. Similar dynamics were observed with STAT1 phosphorylation at Tyr701. No differences in janus kinase 1 (JAK1) activation were observed in cells with WT or variant IL10R1. Our results indicate that IL10R1-G330R does not alter surface expression but duration of STAT phosphorylation, indicating that the position of G330 is important in stabilizing the STAT signal.
