Opis:
Normal human T lymphocytes growing in culture undergo replicative senescence. Previously, we have shown that in our conditions polyclonal T cells cease proliferation after about three weeks (Radziszewska et al., 1999, Cell Biol. Int. 23, 97-103). Now we present results of a more detailed analysis of in vitro growth as well as phenotypic changes of T cells. Cell cycle analysis showed that about 20% of cells were in the S phase untill the 17th day of culture (young cells). The highest number of mitotic cells (phase G2/M; 10%) was observed during the first week of culture. All not dividing senescent cells were stopped in the G1 phase (after the 30th day of culture). The sub-G1 fraction which represents apoptotic cells did not exceed 8% during the whole period until the 30th day of culture. During in vitro T-cell growth, a rather rapid selection to CD3+CD8+ cells occurs. In the presenescent (between the 17th and 30th day) and senescent populations the majority of cells (above 90%) were CD8 positive. We also have checked the expression of α-chain interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor (CD25). In young and presenescent cells about one third of cells was CD25 positive, but only 15% in the pool of senescent cells. Immunoblotting analysis of p16 protein recognized previously as a marker of senescent T cells, showed its highest and transient expression in presenescent cells. A critical review of the polyclonal T cell replicative senescence model is presented.

Opis:
Immunosenescence is viewed as a remodeling process with the exhaustion of naïve T cells and filling up of the immunological space with memory cells. In this study some phenotypic changes of CD8+ human cells during in vivo ageing were compared with those observed in long term cultures of lymphocytes derived from cord blood or from peripheral blood from donors of different age. Both in vivo and in vitro a significant decrease of the fraction of CD8+CD28+ cells was observed. Comparing the proportions of other T cell subpopulations (the CD4/CD8+ ratio, CD56, CD57, CD27) made it possible to conclude that replicative senescence in vitro partially reflects in vivo ageing.

Opis:
Invasion and migration of cancer cells are crucial for the formation of secondary lesions. These require activation of signalling cascades modulated by the number of regulatory molecules. One such molecule is CD151, a member of evolutionary conserved tetraspanin family. CD151 is involved in cell adhesion, motility and cancer progression due to formation of complexes with laminin-binding integrins and regulation of growth factor receptors function (e.g. HGFR, TGFβR, EGFR). Recent studies point to correlation between CD151 expression and high tumour grade in prostate cancer (PCa). Herein, we investigated a possible role of CD151 in communication between PC3 cancer cells and either cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) or osteoblasts, an interplay which is significant for metastasis. The analysis showed that although CAFs strongly enhanced both migration and invasion of PC3 prostate cancer cells, the effect was not dependent on CD151. On the other hand, CD151 was found to promote 3D migration as well as invasive growth in response to osteoblasts-secreted growth factors. Obtained data revealed that knockdown of CD151 abolished activation of pro-migratory/pro-survival kinases (i.e FAK, Src, HSP27) triggered by osteoblasts, along with expression of matrix metalloproteinase-13. This suggests that CD151 participates in communication between PC3 cells and bone microenvironment and the process can be considered as a significant step of PCa progression and metastasis.

Opis:
Tissue-specific heterogeneity of endothelial cells, both structural and functional, plays a crucial role in physiologic as well as pathologic processes, including inflammation, autoimmune diseases and tumor metastasis. This heterogeneity primarily results from the differential expression of adhesion molecules that are involved in the interactions between endothelium and circulating immune cells or disseminating tumor cells. Among these molecules present on endothelial cells is hyaluronan (HA), a glycosaminoglycan that contributes to primary (rolling) interactions through binding to its main receptor CD44 expressed on leukocytes and tumor cells. While the regulation of CD44 expression and function on either leukocytes or tumor cells has been well characterized, much less is known about the ability of endothelial cells to express HA on their surface. Therefore, in these studies we analyzed HA levels on tissue-specific endothelium. We used endothelial cell lines of different origin, including lung, skin, gut and lymph nodes that had been established previously as model lines to study interactions between the endothelium and leukocytes/tumor cells. Our results indicate that HA is accumulated on the surface of all endothelial cells examined. Moreover, retention of endogenous HA differs between the lines and may depend on their tissue origin. Analysis of binding of exogenous HA reveals the presence of specific HA binding sites on all endothelial cell lines tested. However, the retention of endogenous HA and the binding of exogenous HA is mediated through a CD44-independent mechanism.

Opis:
Human stem and progenitor cells have recently become objects of intensive studies as an important target for gene therapy and regenerative medicine. Retroviral vectors are among the most effective tools for genetic modification of these cells. However, their transduction efficiency strongly depends on the choice of the ex vivo transduction system. The aim of this study was to elaborate a system for retroviral vector transduction of human CD34 positive cells isolated from cord blood. The retroviral vector pMINV EGFP was chosen for transduction of two human erythroblastoid cell lines: KG-1a (CD34 positive) and K562 (CD34 negative). For vector construction, three promoters and two retroviral vector packaging cell lines were used. To optimize the physicochemical conditions of the transduction process, different temperatures of supernatant harvesting, the influence of centrifugation and the presence of transduction enhancing agents were tested. The conditions elaborated with KG-1a cells were further applied for transduction of CD34 positive cells isolated from cord blood. The optimal efficiency of transduction of CD34 positive cells with pMINV EGFP retroviral vector (26% of EGFP positive cells), was obtained using infective vector with LTR retroviral promoter, produced by TE FLY GA MINV EGFP packaging cell line. The transduction was performed in the presence of serum, at 37°C, with co-centrifugation of cells with viral supernatants and the use of transduction enhancing agents. This study confirmed that for gene transfer into CD34 positive cells, the detailed optimization of each element of the transduction process is of great importance.

Opis:
Cytotoxic CD8+ cells play an important role in determining host response to tumor, thus chemotherapy is potentially dangerous as it may lead to T cells depletion. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the propensity of quiescent and proliferating human CD8+ cells to undergo cell death upon treatment with curcumin, a natural dye in Phase I of clinical trials as a prospective chemopreventive agent. Methods: We treated human quiescent or proliferating CD8+ cells with 50 µM curcumin or irradiated them with UVC. Cell death symptoms such as decreased cell viability, chromatin condensation, activation of caspase-3 and specific DFF40/CAD endonuclease and oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation were analyzed using MTT test, microscopic observation, Western blotting and flow cytometry. Results: Curcumin decreased cell viability, activated caspase-3 and decreased the level of DFF45/ICAD, the inhibitor of the DFF40/CAD endonuclease. However, this did not lead to oligonucleosomal DNA degradation. In contrast, UVC-irradiated proliferating, but not quiescent CD8+ cells revealed molecular and morphological changes characteristic for apoptosis, including oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation. Curcumin can induce cell death in normal human lymphocytes both quiescent and proliferating, without oligonucleosomal DNA degradation which is considered as a main hallmark of apoptotic cell death. Taking into account the role of CD8+ cells in tumor response, their depletion during chemotherapy could be particularly undesirable.

Opis:
We have shown before that the expression of ZNF334 gene, coding for a newly described zinc finger protein of as yet unknown function, is extremely reduced in CD4+ lymphocytes of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients regardless of their age, and thus can be considered a new molecular marker of the disease. Based on the promoter sequence of the gene we speculated that it might be regulated by TNFα. Here we have tested that hypothesis, studying the in vitro influence of TNFα on the ZNF334 gene expression and protein levels in resting and stimulated CD4+ cells of healthy volunteers. We have confirmed that treatment with TNFα modifies the levels of ZNF334 expression in the CD4+ cells ex vivo; however, the effect varied for different individuals and reduction of expression was seen only for those cell samples that initially exhibited high transcriptional activity of the gene, while for those exhibiting initially very low expression, some increase in the transcriptional activity was observed. Incubation with TNFα significantly reduced the amounts of two isoforms of ZNF334 protein (initially high in all subjects) in parallel to the reduced transcription. Finally, the expression of ZNF334 in CD4+ lymphocytes isolated after various periods of anti-CD3 stimulation generally increased with longer culture times, and the effect of TNFα treatment was negligible. Concluding, our results obtained in vitro for helper lymphocytes of healthy individuals seem to mimic the regulatory effect of TNFα on the expression of ZNF334 in the cells of RA patients.

Opis:
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease characterised by the accumulation of lipids and their metabolites in the artery wall. During inflammation circulating LDL are taken up by macrophages through two major scavenger receptors: CD36 and scavenger receptor A (SRA). Fatty acids that are common in food, e.g. linoleic acid and n-3 unsaturated fatty acids can modulate expression of CD36 on the macrophage surface. Conjugated linoleic acid isomers (CLA) that originate from the human diet, have demonstrated antiatherogenic properties in several experiments. Animal study evidenced that CLA could induce resolution of plaque by activation of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors and down-regulation of pro-inflammatory genes. Less unequivocal results were obtained in human studies (on the CLA effects on the inflammatory process). Therefore in this study we investigated the influence of CLA on CD36 expression and lipid accumulation in human macrophages. Macrophages were incubated with 30 µM cis-9,trans-11 CLA, trans-10,cis-12 CLA or linoleic acid for 48 h. After that, expression of CD36 as well as accumulation of lipids were measured by flow cytometry, microscopy and a spectroscopic method. We demonstrate that both cis-9,trans-11 C 18:2 CLA and linoleic acid slightly elevated expression of CD36, whereas second isomer - trans-10,cis-12 CLA - did not. Nevertheless, only trans-10,cis-12 CLA triggered delipidation of macrophages, that is decreased triacylglycerols concentration. Also in human adipocytes, trans-10,cis-12 CLA causes cell delipidation by reduction of PPAR receptor expression. We propose a similar mechanism for human macrophages/foam cells.

It altered also recombinant dgαGTH + βGTH dimer molecule, reducing its immunoreactivity by 30%, and fully blocking the hormonal function. CD spectroscopy showed that deglycosylation led to changes in the secondary structure of dgαGTH and in the α-β recombinant. The sugar moiety of sturgeon αGTH is suggested to play an important role in maintaining the biological function of the hormone dimer molecule.

Opis:
Highly efficient systems remove the toxic and proinflammatory haemoglobin from the circulation and local sites of tissue damage. Macrophages are major haemoglobin-clearing cells; CD163 was recently recognized as the specific haemoglobin scavenger receptor (HbSR). It is tightly involved in both physiological as well as pathophysiological processes, such as cytoprotection and inflammation. Haemoglobin functions as a double-edged sword. In moderate quantities and bound to haptoglobin, it forms a ligand for haemoglobin scavenger receptor CD163/HbSR, but when unleashed in large amounts, it can become toxic by mediating oxidative stress and inflammation. CD163/HbSR plays a crucial role in the control of inflammatory processes, probably in part through its effects on both ferritin induction and subsequent induction of antiinflammatory pathways through interleukin-10 and haem oxygenase. Besides the observation that the haemoglobin scavenger receptor provides a promising target for new treatment possibilities, it offers a novel view on the aetiology of diverse physiological as well as pathophysiological processes. In addition, monocyte CD163/HbSR and soluble CD163/HbSR are potential diagnostic tools in a variety of disease states, such as inflammation, atherosclerosis, transplant rejection, and carcinoma.

Human umbilical cord blood is frequently used as a source of transplantable hematopoietic cells and more recently as a target of gene therapy - a new approach for treatment of various disorders. The aim of our study was optimisation of the transfection conditions of cord blood-derived CD34+ hematopoietic cells. Mononuclear cells fraction was isolated from cord blood samples by density gradient centrifugation. Subsequently, CD34+ hematopoietic cells were separated on immunomagnetic MiniMACS columns. Pure population of CD34+ cells was incubated in a serum free medium supplemented with thrombopoietin, stem cell factor and Flt-3 ligand for 48 h and then transfected with plasmid DNA carrying the enhanced version of green fluorescent protein (EGFP) as a reporter gene. We studied the influence of various pulse settings and DNA concentrations on the transfection efficiency, measured by flow cytometry as the fluorescence of target cells due to the expression of EGFP. The optimal settings were as follows: 4 mm cuvette, 1600 μF, 550 V/cm, and 10 μg of DNA per 500 μl. With these settings we obtained a high transfection frequency (41.2%) without a marked decrease of cell viability. An increase of the pulse capacitance and/or of DNA concentration resulted in a greater electroporation efficiency, but also in a decrease of cell viability. In conclusion, the results described here allow one to recommend electroporation as an efficient method of gene delivery into CD34+ hematopoietic cells derived from human umbilical cord blood.

Cytotoxic activity is one of the major functions of Natural Killer (NK) cells and is a critical effector mechanism of innate immune responses against infected or cancer cells. A variety of assays have been developed to determine NK cell cytotoxic activity, however a receptor-based screening tool is still lacking. Here, we propose the CD25 receptor as a candidate for NK cell cytotoxicity marker. We have verified that there is a correlation between classic target cell induced cytotoxicity markers and the CD25 expression on NK cells. Non-adherent lymphocyte fractions pre-stimulated with Escherichia coli O55:B5 lipopolysaccharide were co-cultured with settled HeLa targets in a four hour long cytotoxic assay. The cytotoxic effect was evaluated by MTT reduction assay and quantification of soluble cytotoxicity markers (granzyme B, FasL, caspase-8, IFN-γ and IL-2) was done by ELISA. Lymphocytes were stained with anti-CD3-Cy-5, anti-CD56/CD16/Nkp46-FITC and anti-CD25-PE antibodies and analyzed by flow cytometry. We observed that the CD25 expression exclusively on the CD3-CD56+CD25+ NK cells was positively correlated with their cytotoxic function evaluated by the MTT test (r = 0.68), the upregulation of granzyme B (r = 0.89), IL-2 (r = 0.78) and IFN-γ (r = 0.57), however, it was not positively correlated with FasL and caspase-8. We conclude that the CD25 expression might serve as an in vitro receptor-based screening tool for NK cell activity.

Opis:
Despite the very high percentage of long-term remissions in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children, some of them suffer from recurrence of the disease. New treatment modalities, e.g. effective geno- and immunotherapy are needed. The use of neoplasmatic cells to present tumor antigens is one of the approaches in cancer vaccines. ALL cells lack the expression of costimulatory molecules and are poor antigen presenting cells (APCs) for T-cell activation. CD40/40L interaction stimulates B-cells to proliferate, differentiate, upregulate costimulatory molecules and increase antigen presentation. The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that ALL cells can be turned into professional APCs by CD40L activation. Children with B-cell precursor ALL were enrolled into the study. Mononuclear cells from bone marrow or peripheral blood were stimulated with CD40L and interleukin 4. Results: 1) after culture we noted upregulation of all assessed costimulatory, adhesion and activatory molecules i.e. CD1a, CD11c, CD40, CD54, CD80, CD83, CD86, CD123, HLA class I and II; 2) CD40L activated ALL cells induced proliferation of allogeneic T-cells (measured by [3H]thymidine incorporation). These results confirm the possibility of enhancing the immunogenicity of ALL cells with the CD40L system and indicate that this approach can be used in immunotherapeutic trials.

α1,6-fucosyltransferase (FUT8) attaches fucose residues via an α1,6 linkage to the innermost N-acetylglucosamine residue of N-linked glycans. Glycans with this type of structure are present in GpIIb/GpIIIa complex (CD41a) which is present on megakaryocytes (Mks) and platelets. CD41a is the earliest marker of megakaryocytopoiesis. The aim of this study was to analyse the morphology, phenotype, ploidy level and activity of FUT8 during induced differentiation/maturation of Mk progenitor cells in ex vivo culture. We used SU6656, a selective inhibitor of Src tyrosine kinases, as differentiation-inducing agent for Mks. The addition of SU6656 to the culture system of megakaryocytic progenitors from cord blood CD34+ cells and Meg-01 cell line induced their maturation towards later stages of Mk differentiation with increased activity of FUT8. We suggest FUT8 as a candidate for an early marker of differentiation and possibly of the ploidy level of Mks. We confirm a special status of FUT8 in megakaryocytopoiesis.

Opis:
Dendritic cells (DC) generated from human umbilical cord blood might replace patients' DC in attempts to elicit tumor-specific immune response in cancer patients. We studied the efficiency of transfection of human cord blood DC with plasmid DNA carrying the enhanced version of green fluorescent protein (EGFP) as a reporter gene, to test if nonviral gene transfer would be a method to load DC with protein antigens for immunotherapy purposes. Cord blood mononuclear cells were cultured in serum-free medium in the presence of granulocyte-monocyte colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), stem cell factor (SCF) and Flt-3 ligand (FL), to generate DC from their precursors, and thereafter transfected by electroporation. Maturation of DC was induced by stimulation with GM-CSF, SCF, FL and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Transfected DC strongly expressed EGFP, but transfection efficiency of DC, defined as HLA-DR+ cells lacking lineage-specific markers, did not exceed 2.5%. Expression of the reporter gene was also demonstrated in the DC generated from transfected, purified CD34+ cord blood cells, by stimulation with GM-CSF, SCF, FL, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). Transfection of CD34+ cells was very efficient, but proliferation of the transfected cells was much reduced as compared to the untransfected cells. Therefore, the yield of transgene-expressing DC was relatively low. In conclusion, nonviral transfection of cord blood DC proved feasible, but considering the requirements for immunotherapy in cancer patients, transfection of differentiated DC or generation of DC from transfected hematopoietic stem cells provide only a limited number of DC expressing the transgene.
