Q: Inflammatory mediators released by nonparenchymal inflammatory cells in the liver have been implicated in the progression of acetaminophen (APAP) hepatotoxicity. Among hepatic nonparenchymal inflammatory cells, we examined the role of the abundant natural killer (NK) cells and NK cells with T-cell receptors (NKT cells) in APAP-induced liver injury.', 'C57BL/6 mice were administered a toxic dose of APAP intraperitoneally to cause liver injury with or without depletion of NK and NKT cells by anti-NK1.1 monoclonal antibody (MAb). Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) levels, liver histology, hepatic leukocyte accumulation, and cytokine/chemokine expression were assessed.', 'Compared with APAP-treated control mice, depletion of both NK and NKT cells by anti-NK1.1 significantly protected mice from APAP-induced liver injury, as evidenced by decreased serum ALT level, improved survival of mice, decreased hepatic necrosis, inhibition of messenger RNA (mRNA) expression for interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), Fas ligand (FasL), and chemokines including KC (Keratinocyte-derived chemokine); MIP-1 alpha (macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha); MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1); IP-10 (interferon-inducible protein); Mig (monokine induced by IFN-gamma) and decreased neutrophil accumulation in the liver. Hepatic NK and NKT cells were identified as the major source of IFN-gamma by intracellular cytokine staining. APAP induced much less liver injury in Fas-deficient (lpr) and FasL-deficient (gld) mice compared with that in wild-type mice.

A: Does innate immune system play a critical role in determining the progression and severity of acetaminophen hepatotoxicity?

Q: A transgenic mouse model has revealed parameters of the angiogenic switch during multistep tumorigenesis of pancreatic islets, and demonstrated efficacy of antiangiogenic therapies. Pericytes have been revealed as functionally important for tumor neovasculature, using kinase inhibitors targeting their platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs). Additionally, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibitors and metronomic chemotherapy show modest benefit against early- but not late-stage disease.', 'Seeking to improve efficacy against otherwise intractable end-stage pancreatic islet tumors, two receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, imatinib and SU11248, were used to disrupt PDGFR-mediated pericyte support of tumor endothelial cells in concert with maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) or metronomic chemotherapy and/or VEGFR inhibition.', 'Imatinib, despite equivocal efficacy as monotherapy, reduced pericyte coverage of tumor vessels and enhanced efficacy in combination with metronomic chemotherapy or VEGFR inhibition. A regimen involving all three was even better. MTD using cyclophosphamide caused transitory regression, but then rapid regrowth, in contrast to metronomic cyclophosphamide plus imatinib, which produced stable disease. The MTD regimen elicited apoptosis of tumor cells but not endothelial cells, whereas the other regimens increased endothelial cell apoptosis concordant with efficacy. A "chemo-switch" protocol, involving sequential MTD and then metronomic chemotherapy, overlaid with multitargeted inhibition of PDGFR and VEGFR, gave complete responses and unprecedented survival advantage in this model.

A: Is a multitargeted , metronomic , and maximum-tolerated dose `` chemo-switch '' regimen antiangiogenic , producing objective responses and survival benefit in a mouse model of cancer?

Q: CXC motif chemokine 10 (CXCL10), known as interferon-γ-induced protein 10, is an inflammatory cytokine secreted by various cells in response to interferon-γ. CXCR3, the receptor of CXCL10, is predominantly expressed on activated T, B, natural killer, and dendritic cells, as well as macrophages. CXCR3 promotes chemotaxis upon binding CXCL10. Serum CXCL10 levels have recently attracted attention as a post-transplantation biomarker for graft rejection. However, the correlation between the degree of T cell response to allostimulation and CXCL10 levels remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the serum and bile CXCL10 levels of patients who underwent living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and compared them with the T cell responses to allostimulation.', 'Between February 2009 and August 2012, 41 patients underwent LDLT at Hiroshima University Hospital. Serum and bile CXCL10 levels were measured weekly for 4 weeks after surgery, while the T cell responses to allostimulation were evaluated using a mixed lymphocyte reaction with an intracellular carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester-labeling technique that we regularly use to monitor the\xa0immune response to anti-donor and anti-third-party stimulation after liver transplantation. The stimulation index (SI) and CD25 expression of the CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subsets in response to allostimulation were then analyzed using flow cytometry.', 'Serum CXCL10 levels were significantly correlated with the SI values for CD8+ T cells in response to both types of allostimulation. Bile CXCL10 levels were significantly correlated with CD25 expression of CD8+ T cell subsets, especially in response to anti-donor stimulation. Patients with higher bile CXCL10 levels suffered from severe acute cellular rejection that was refractory to steroid pulse.

A:
Do bile CXC motif chemokine 10 levels correlate with anti-donor cytotoxic T cell responses after liver transplantation?
