Published: May 2010

The angiogenic factor Midkine (MDK) is overexpressed in various human malignant tumors, although its expression is low or undetectable in normal adult tissues. Its expression in tumors and its detection in plasma have been associated with poor disease outcome, whereas its blockade was found to contribute to tumor regression. By weekly stimulation of T lymphocytes harvested in HLA-A2 healthy donors, we derived CD8 T cell lines specific for several MDK peptides. The T cell response was mostly dominated by two nonamer peptides localized in the signal peptide and in the C-terminal part of the protein, as assessed by IFN-γ ELISPOT and HLA-A2 tetramer labeling. Peptide-specific T cell lines recognized cells transfected with an MDK-encoded plasmid and tumor cell lines naturally expressing the MDK protein, but not untransfected cells. T cell presentation of the two MDK epitopes was found to be TAP dependent. Experiments performed in HLA-A2 transgenic mice demonstrated the capacity of the two identified CD8 T cell epitopes to elicit a cytotoxic response. Altogether, our data show that the secreted MDK protein is a candidate vaccine for multiple cancers.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells Inhibit Human Th17 Cell Differentiation and Function and Induce a T Regulatory Cell Phenotype

Published: May 2010

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exert immunomodulatory properties via the inhibition of T cell activation and proliferation. Because of the deleterious role of Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disease, we investigated whether proinflammatory cytokines could modify the expression of adhesion molecules on human MSCs, thereby contributing to increased Th17 cell adhesion to MSCs and, as a consequence, modulating the function of the latter cells. IFN-γ and TNF-α synergistically enhanced the expression of CD54 by MSCs, enabling the CCR6 chemokine ligand CCL20 to induce in vitro adhesion of Th17 cells to MSCs. MSCs prevented the in vitro differentiation of naive CD4+ T cells into Th17 cells and inhibited the production of IL-17, IL-22, IFN-γ, and TNF-α by fully differentiated Th17 cells; this was mediated, in part, via PGE2, the production of which was enhanced in cocultures with Th17 cells. Moreover, MSCs induced the production of IL-10 and trimethylation of histone H3K4me3 at the promoter of the FOXP3 gene locus, whereas it suppressed trimethylation of the corresponding region in the RORC gene in Th17 cells. These epigenetic changes were associated with the induction of fork head box p3 and the acquisition by Th17 cells of the capacity to inhibit in vitro proliferative responses of activated CD4+ T cells, which was enhanced when MSCs were preincubated with IFN-γ and TNF-α. These results showed that, under inflammatory conditions, MSCs mediate the adhesion of Th17 cells via CCR6 and exert anti-inflammatory effects through the induction of a T cell regulatory phenotype in these cells.
NADPH Oxidase-Dependent Reactive Oxygen Species Mediate Amplified TLR4 Signaling and Sepsis-Induced Mortality in Nrf2-Deficient Mice

Published: May 2010

Sepsis syndrome is characterized by a dysregulated inflammatory response to infection. NADPH oxidase-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) play significant roles in the pathophysiology of sepsis. We previously showed that disruption of Nrf2, a master regulator of antioxidant defenses, caused a dysregulation of innate immune response that resulted in greater mortality in a polymicrobial sepsis and LPS shock model; however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. In the current study, compared with wild-type (Nrf2+/+) macrophages, we observed greater protein kinase C-induced NADPH oxidase-dependent ROS generation in Nrf2-disrupted (Nrf2−/−) macrophages that was modulated by glutathione levels. To address the NADPH oxidase-mediated hyperinflammatory response and sepsis-induced lung injury and mortality in Nrf2−/− mice, we used double knockout mice lacking Nrf2 and NADPH oxidase subunit, gp91phox (Nrf2−/−//gp91phox−/−). Compared with Nrf2+/+ macrophages, LPS induced greater activation of TLR4 as evident by TLR4 surface trafficking and downstream recruitment of MyD88 and Toll/IL-1R domain-containing adaptor in Nrf2−/− macrophages that was diminished by ablation of gp91phox. Similarly, phosphorylation of IκB and IFN regulatory factor 3 as well as cytokine expression was markedly higher in Nrf2−/− macrophages; whereas, it was similar in Nrf2+/+ and Nrf2−/−//gp91phox−/−. In vivo studies showed greater LPS-induced pulmonary inflammation in Nrf2−/− mice that was significantly reduced by ablation of gp91phox. Furthermore, LPS shock and polymicrobial sepsis induced early and greater mortality in Nrf2−/− mice; whereas, Nrf2−/−//gp91phox−/− showed prolong survival. Together, these results demonstrate that Nrf2 is essential for the regulation of NADPH oxidase-dependent ROS-mediated TLR4 activation and lethal innate immune response in sepsis.
TLR4 Signaling Inhibitory Pathway Induced by Green Tea Polyphenol Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate through 67-kDa Laminin Receptor
Authors: Hong Byun Eui , Fujimura Yoshinori , Yamada Koji , Tachibana Hirofumi
Published: May 2010

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a major active polyphenol of green tea, has been shown to downregulate inflammatory responses in macrophages; however, the underlying mechanism has not been understood. Recently, we identified the 67-kDa laminin receptor (67LR) as a cell-surface EGCG receptor that mediates the anticancer action of EGCG at physiologically relevant concentrations (0.1–1 μM). In this study, we show the molecular basis for the downregulation of TLR4 signal transduction by EGCG at 1 μM in macrophages. Anti-67LR Ab treatment or RNA interference-mediated silencing of 67LR resulted in abrogation of the inhibitory action of EGCG on LPS-induced activation of downstream signaling pathways and target gene expressions. Additionally, we found that EGCG reduced the TLR4 expression through 67LR. Interestingly, EGCG induced a rapid upregulation of Toll-interacting protein (Tollip), a negative regulator of TLR signaling, and this EGCG action was prevented by 67LR silencing or anti-67LR Ab treatment. RNA interference-mediated silencing of Tollip impaired the TLR4 signaling inhibitory activity of EGCG. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that 67LR plays a critical role in mediating anti-inflammatory action of a physiologically relevant EGCG, and Tollip expression could be modulated through 67LR. These results provide a new insight into the understanding of negative regulatory mechanisms for the TLR4 signaling pathway and consequent inflammatory responses that are implicated in the development and progression of many chronic diseases.
Human Th17 Cells Comprise Heterogeneous Subsets Including IFN-γ–Producing Cells with Distinct Properties from the Th1 Lineage

Th17 cells have been named after their signature cytokine IL-17 and accumulating evidence indicates their involvement in the induction and progression of inflammatory diseases. In addition to IL-17 single-producing T cells, IL-17/IFN-γ double-positive T cells are found in significantly elevated numbers in inflamed tissues or blood from patients with chronic inflammatory disorders. Because IFN-γ is the classical Th1-associated cytokine, the origin and roles of these subsets remain elusive. In this paper, we show that not only IL-17+/IFN-γ+ but also IFN-γ+ (IL-17−) cells arise under Th17-inducing condition and have distinct properties from the Th1 lineage. In fact, these populations displayed characteristics reminiscent to IL-17 single-producing cells, including production of IL-22, CCL20, and induction of antimicrobial gene expression from epithelial cells. Live sorted IL-17+ and Th17–IFN-γ+ cells retained expression of IL-17 or IFN-γ after culture, respectively, whereas the IL-17+/IFN-γ+ population was less stable and could also become IL-17 or IFN-γ single-producing cells. Interestingly, these Th17 subsets became “Th1-like” cells in the presence of IL-12. These results provide novel insights into the relationship and functionality of the Th17 and Th1 subsets and have direct implications for the analysis and relevance of IL-17 and/or IFN-γ–producing T cells present in patients’ peripheral blood and inflamed tissues.
An Autoantigen-Specific, Highly Restricted T Cell Repertoire Infiltrates the Arthritic Joints of Mice in an HLA-DR1 Humanized Mouse Model of Autoimmune Arthritis

Published: May 2010

Although it is clear that CD4+ T cells play a major role in mediating the pathogenesis of autoimmunity, they often represent only a minor population at the site of inflammation in autoimmune diseases. To investigate the migration and specificity of autoimmune T cells to the inflammatory site, we used the collagen-induced arthritis model to determine the frequency, clonotype, and specificity of T cells that infiltrate arthritic joints. We demonstrate that despite the fact that CD4+ T cells are a minor population of the synovial infiltrate, the CD4+ T cells present are a highly selective subset of the TCR repertoire and, based on CDR3 length polymorphisms, have a limited clonality. Although a similar repertoire of type II collagen (CII)-specific TCR-BV8 and BV14-expressing T cells was found in peripheral lymphoid organs, the clonality of the TCR-BV8 and BV14 T cells that migrate to the arthritic joint generally made up a single CDR3 length. T cell hybridomas produced from these joint-derived cells revealed that many of these infiltrating T cells are CII specific, and the majority recognize mouse CII. These data suggest that despite being a minor population at the site of inflammation, autoantigen-specific T cells are selectively recruited and/or retained in the arthritic joint and may be playing a significant role in the pathogenesis of the autoimmune arthritis. In addition, this model may be very useful for studying the function in situ and the mechanism by which autoimmune T cells are recruited to the site of inflammation.

Ab class switch recombination involves a recombination between two repetitive DNA sequences known as switch (S) regions that vary in length, content, and density of the repeats. Abs expressed by B cells are diversified by somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination. Both class switch recombination and somatic hypermutation are initiated by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), which preferentially recognizes certain hot spots that are far more enriched in the S regions. We found that removal of the largest S region, Sγ1 (10 kb), in mice can result in the accumulation of mutations and short-range intra-S recombination in the donor Sμ region. Furthermore, elevated levels of IgE were detected in trinitrophenol-OVA–immunized mice and in anti-CD40 plus IL-4–stimulated B cells in vitro. We propose that AID availability and targeting in part might be regulated by its DNA substrate. Thus, prominently transcribed S regions, such as Sγ1, might provide a sufficient sink for AID protein to titrate away AID from other accessible sites within or outside the Ig locus.
Hyperuricemia in Obese Children and Adolescents: The Relationship with Metabolic Syndrome
Authors: Tang Li , Kubota Masaru , Nagai Ayako , Mamemoto Kimiyo , Tokuda Masakuni
Published: May 2010

The prevalence of hyperuricemia in obese children and adolescents and its association with metabolic syndrome are largely unknown. The objective of our study was to characterize hyperuricemia in relation to metabolic syndrome in Japanese children and adolescents with obesity. Between 2005 and 2008, we performed a cross-sectional study of 1,027 obese children and adolescents aged 6-14 years. Based on the reference value of serum uric acid we had established previously, hyperuricemia was defined as one standard deviation over the mean value at each age. The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was made based on the Japanese criteria for children. A total of 213 children and adolescents (20.7%) was found to have hyperuricemia. The prevalence of hyperuricemia was significantly higher in the male gender and older age group. Sixty-five out of 213 subjects with hyperuricemia (30.5%) had metabolic syndrome, whereas 111 out of 814 subjects without hyperuricemia (13.6%) had metabolic syndrome. The most common abnormal component of metabolic syndrome was triglyceride, followed by dia­stolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and HDL-cholesterol. Such a tendency was almost identical between the two groups. We concluded that considering the association between hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome in obese Japanese children and adolescents, the role of hyperuricemia in metabolic syndrome should receive more attention, beginning in early childhood.
Elevated expression of c-kit in small venous malformations of blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome
Authors: Mogler Carolin , Beck Christian , Kulozik Andreas , Penzel Roland , Schirmacher Peter , Kai Breuhahn
Published: May 2010

The blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS, syn. bean syndrome) is a rare disease characterized by multiple cutaneous and gastrointestinal venous malformations associated with severe bleeding. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are unknown and no targeted therapeutic approach exists to date. Here we report the case of a 19-year-old male patient with severe BRBNS in whom we analyzed the expression of tyrosine kinases frequently involved in tumor development by immunohistochemistry (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2, stem cell growth factor receptor (c-kit), platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β, and stem cell tyrosine kinase-1). A prominent expression of c-kit was detectable in smaller blood vessels, which also showed a moderate expression of the proliferation marker MIB1. Surprisingly, other growth factor receptors stained negatively. We therefore conclude that pharmacological inhibition of the c-kit signaling pathway in cavernous hemangiomas by selective kinase inhibitors may offer options in the treatment of BRBNS patients.
Governing the corporation: Structure, process and behaviour
Authors: Smallman Clive , McDonald Gael , Mueller Jens
Published: May 2010

To those of us affected by the global recession that started in late 2007 (and it is hard to think of anyone in the world who is not touched by this massive downturn), it is sobering to realise that much of what has been wrought upon us is the result of decisions made behind closed doors by corporate directors, regulators and politicians. Boardroom, regulatory and political behaviours are all grounded in the desires, emotions and knowledge of the human beings who aspire to be business leaders, regulatory watchdogs and politicians.
A professional director's view – Interview with Kerry McDonald, President of the New Zealand Institute of Directors (2009-2010)
Authors: Smallman Clive
Published: May 2010

Clive had the privilege of speaking with Kerry in late March 2010. They covered a number of governance issues, and here are Kerry's thoughts.

From a New Zealand perspective, but also with an eye on the US and UK, and to a lesser extent Australia, for me the overriding issue is that boards and Directors are not providing consistently strong leadership that adds value to businesses.

Underneath that I think that there are three specific issues. Firstly, there is a real shortage of directors with a strong business background. These are the sort of people who have been senior executives or chief executives. They understand strategy and leadership in the broadest sense of the word, and they can lead people and organizations. They have been well trained to make decisions and understand how business decisions are made. Critically, they know about sustained business improvement and creating high performance companies – how to lead people and to use systems to increase productivity. So, if you are trying to recruit directors now in New Zealand, there is a very limited pool of people who have that real depth of business background. There are a lot of people who want to be directors and who are trained in accounting, law and other professions, but there is an increasing shortage of people with the real depth of business experience that is required.
Board, ownership and performance of banks with a dual board system: Evidence from Taiwan
Authors: Huang Chi-Jui
Published: May 2010

The influence of corporate governance on a firm's performance has recently been studied in industrial enterprises in developed countries, but not in services such as banks with a dual board system in Asia's newly-industrialized economies (NIEs). This research examines the effects of board structure and ownership on a bank's performance using a sample of 41 commercial banks in an Asian NIE (Taiwan). Results showed that board size, numbers of outside directors, and family-owned shares are positively associated with bank performance, whereas the number of supervisory directors has a negative influence on performance. The findings provide empirical support for corporate governance, which improves the performance of banks with a dual board system in Taiwan.
Compliance culture: A conceptual framework
Authors: Interligi Lisa
Published: May 2010

Regulatory reforms and changing community expectations about organizational behaviour have increased the emphasis on the role of culture in organizational compliance. This conceptual paper proposes a framework that captures the complexities of the relationship between compliance and culture by drawing from two theories relevant to organizational culture: Neo-Institutional Theory and the Competing Values Model. By integrating elements of these theories, three core dimensions of compliance culture are identified: legitimacy, permeability and control. These core dimensions provide for a pluralist approach to theorising around compliance culture. In addition to its theoretical contribution, the paper concludes that there may be practical utility in linking organizational compliance outcomes with performance on the three core dimensions. It is also suggested that compliance culture profiles using these dimensions may be used to predict how organisations might need to respond to regulatory reforms.
Opening the ‘black box’: Challenging traditional governance theorems
Authors: Erakoviç Ljiljana , Overall Joanna
Published: May 2010

This article presents both theoretical and empirical support for moving from a traditional governance research paradigm towards a more holistic research approach. This includes taking into account behavioural, contingency and evolutionary theories, in an effort to better understand governance processes and effective board behaviour. Specifically, the authors highlight the importance of three groups of relationships (board dynamics, board–management relationships and board–stakeholder relationships) as contributing to good governance practice. Whilst historically researchers have largely ignored the behavioural aspects of corporate governance, the authors have made an attempt to open the ‘black box’ of governance processes and practices, and illustrate with examples from three New Zealand companies how the development of these relationships are important for effective board functioning.
Corporate governance practices in Indian firms
Authors: Kota Hima Bindu , Tomar Sarika
Published: May 2010

In the wake of recent financial scandals and in the context of the global financial crisis, corporate governance is especially significant. We examine the effect of corporate governance practices on the performance of 106 mid-sized firms in India, between 2005 and 2007. Our results confirm a significant relationship between CEO duality and firm performance. We also find that a small board is more effective and enhances the value of the firm. However, in the Indian context, we find that non-executive independent directors are failing in their monitoring role.
Board and CEO practice in modem strategy-making: How is strategy developed, who is the boss and in what circumstances?
Authors: O'Shannassy Tim
Published: May 2010

The interplay of the board of directors (BOD) and the chief executive officer (CEO) in strategy-making has been the subject of some debate in the literature. Some experts argue the BOD should take a strong role in strategy-making while the alternative point of view is that the CEO is the key man or woman. In a qualitative study with 16 interviews of leading Australian industry figures, the CEOisfound to be the key player in modern strategy-making. The findings identify how the BOD, individual directors and the CEO can combine to add value to the organization, in particular how these organization members can team up and interact to achieve a faster, more flexible strategy cycle. The modern organization focus needs to be on giving more emphasis to the empowerment, interaction and creativity of the CEO and top management team. The BOD should focus on questioning, criticizing, refining and enabling the strategy proposed by the professional managers. However, the study indicates these findings are subject to exception and variation in relation to factors including specialist knowledge, track record of performance, personality attributes, personal power, and political and influencing skills. The major focus of attention of the BOD and CEO is the strategic-thinking related activities in strategy-making. Strategic planning still has an important role in formalizing strategy content, usually in a regular cycle.
Do consultants in corporate governance share a community? An empirical study on their practice
Authors: Peirano-Vejo Maria Elisa , Stablein Ralph E
Published: May 2010

We present an empirical study on the community of management consultants in the specialty of corporate governance. Although most studies on consulting are done on large multinational consulting firms, we suggest an alternative framework that encompasses the heterogeneity of the industry, considering also the smaller consulting firm and the independent consultant. We have qualitatively studied the practice of consultants specialized in corporate governance and looked for evidence of community belonging. Drawing on a Kuhnian theoretical framework and adapting his notion of knowledge creation to a governance consulting scenario, we explore community belonging, entry and exit mechanisms into the consulting community of governance, common culture and language, and regulation of the community. Findings confirm that consultants have mixed professional identities and an overlapping of memberships of various communities. Our results show that although no formal regulation or organization regulates corporate governance consulting, mechanisms such as reputation, career paths, experience and credibility work in strengthening the practice of the community.
Review of the corporate and healthcare governance literature
Authors: Bennington Lynne
Published: May 2010

The governance and effectiveness of the healthcare sector is paramount due to its impact on human well-being and the size of this sector of the economy. Astute governments and healthcare boards need to know how to improve the governance of the sector. Therefore, this review draws together the theoretical and empirical literature from both the corporate and healthcare governance literature to determine the state of knowledge that can confidently guide those who either perform board roles as directors or who create governance structures. It concludes by suggesting that further theoretical work and research are necessary, and that the focus of both needs to be broader to take into account the complexity of the sector.
