Q: Context: Current staging for renal cancer (RC) does not directly rely on tumor size. We examined the increment in accuracy related to inclusion of pathologically determined tumor size in prediction of nodal metastases (N+), distant metastases (M+), and cancer-specific survival (CSS).', 'Partial or radical nephrectomy was performed in 2245 patients with clear cell histology. Pathologic stages were T1a in 566, T1b in 490, T2 in 303, T3 in 831, and T4 in 55 patients. Tumor size was 0.5-25 cm (mean, 6.8). Multivariate models relied on 1997 and 2002 TNM variables and addressed N+, M+ disease, and CCS. Their accuracy was compared according to either the presence or absence of tumor size.', 'In all univariate and multivariate models, tumor size was a statistically significant predictor of all outcomes (p< or =0.001). In all multivariate models, tumor size added between 3.7% and 0.8% to predictive accuracy of either 1997 or 2002 TNM categories.
Answer: Tumor size represents a highly significant, multivariate, and informative predictor of RC outcomes and may warrant inclusion in future TNM revisions.

A: Does tumor size improve the accuracy of TNM predictions in patients with renal cancer?

Q: Context: In mice, a subpopulation of gut dendritic cells (DCs) expressing CD103 drives the development of regulatory T (T(reg)) cells. Further, it was recently described that the cross-talk between human intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and DCs helps in maintaining gut immune homeostasis via the induction of non-inflammatory DCs. In this study, an analysis was carried out to determine whether IECs could promote the differentiation of CD103+ tolerogenic DCs, and the function of primary CD103+ DCs isolated from human mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) was evaluated.', "Monocyte-derived DCs (MoDCs) and circulating CD1c+ DCs were conditioned or not with supernatants from Caco-2 cells or IECs isolated from healthy donors or donors with Crohn's disease and analysed for their ability to induce T(reg) cell differentiation. In some cases, transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta), retinoic acid (RA) or thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) were neutralised before conditioning. CD103+ and CD103- DCs were sorted by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) from MLNs and used in T(reg) cell differentiation experiments.", "It was found that human IECs promoted the differentiation of tolerogenic DCs able to drive the development of adaptive Foxp3+ T(reg) cells. This control was lost in patients with Crohn's disease and paralleled a reduced expression of tolerogenic factors by primary IECs. MoDCs differentiated with RA or IEC supernatant upregulated the expression of CD103. Consistently, human primary CD103+ DCs isolated from MLNs were endowed with the ability to drive T(reg) cell differentiation. This subset of DCs expressed CCR7 and probably represents a lamina propria-derived migratory population.
Answer: A population of tolerogenic CD103+ DCs was identified in the human gut that probably differentiate in response to IEC-derived factors and drive T(reg) cell development.

A: Do human intestinal epithelial cells promote the differentiation of tolerogenic dendritic cells?

Q: Context: Dephosphorylation of the myosin II regulatory light chain (MLC) promotes barrier integrity of cellular monolayers through relaxation of the actin cytoskeleton. This study has investigated the influence of adenosine (ADO) on MLC phosphorylation in cultured bovine corneal endothelial cells (BCEC).', 'MLC phosphorylation was assessed by urea-glycerol gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. Elevation of cAMP in response to agonists of A2b receptors (subtype of P1 purinergic receptors) was confirmed by phosphorylation of the cAMP response element binding protein (CREB), which was determined by Western blotting. Activation of MAP kinases (i.e. activated ERK1 and ERK2) was assessed by Western blotting to examine their influence on MLC phosphorylation. Transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) of cells grown on porous filters was measured to assess the altered barrier integrity.', 'Exposure to ADO (200 microm; 30 min) and N-ethyl (carboxamido) adenosine (NECA; 50 microm; 30 min), known agonists of A2b receptors, induced phosphorylation of CREB similar to forskolin (FSK, 20 microm; 30 min), a direct activator of adenylate cyclase. Exposure to ADO, NECA, and FSK led to dephosphorylation of MLC by 51, 40, and 47%, respectively. ADO-induced dephosphorylation was dose-dependent with as much as 31% dephosphorylation at 1 microm ADO. CGS-21680, a selective A2a agonist, neither induced MLC dephosphorylation nor CREB phosphorylation. ADO phosphorylated MAP kinases which could be prevented by exposure to the MAP kinase-specific inhibitor, U0126 (10 microM). NECA and FSK also induced ERK1 and ERK2 activation similar to ADO. Exposure to U0126 inhibited MLC phosphorylation under basal conditions by 17%. ADO-induced MLC dephosphorylation was enhanced by a simultaneous exposure to U0126 (25% increase in dephosphorylation). Exposure to ADO caused an increase in TER from 17 to 22 ohms cm2.
Answer: (1) CREB phosphorylation in response to ADO and NECA, which indicates activation of the cAMP-PKA axis, suggests expression of A2b receptors in BCEC. (2) ERK1 and ERK2, activated by cAMP and A2b receptors, promote MLC phosphorylation. However, the net result of cAMP elevation is MLC dephosphorylation, presumably because the competing pathways involving inactivation of MLCK and/or ROCK are dominant (Rho-associated coiled coil-containing protein kinase or Rho kinase). (3) Consistent with MLC dephosphorylation, exposure to ADO increases TER, which suggests increased barrier integrity.
