Lee Y, Kiupel M, Soboll Hussey G. Characterization of respiratory dendritic cells from equine lung tissues. BMC Vet Res 2017; 13:313. [PMID: 29110660 PMCID: PMC5674750 DOI: 10.1186/s12917-017-1240-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2017] [Accepted: 10/30/2017] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells that have multiple subpopulations with different phenotypes and immune functions. Previous research demonstrated that DCs have strong potential for anti-viral defense in the host. However, viruses including alphaherpesvirinae have developed strategies to interfere with the function or maturation of DCs, causing immune dysfunction and avoidance of pathogen elimination. The goal of the present study was to isolate and characterize equine lung-derived DCs (L-DCs) for use in studies of respiratory viruses and compare their features with equine blood-derived DCs (B-DCs), which are currently used for these types of studies. RESULTS We found that L-DCs were morphologically similar to B-DCs. Overall, B-DCs demonstrated higher expression of CD86 and CD172α than L-DCs, but both cell types expressed high levels of MHC class II and CD44, as well as moderate amounts of CD163, CD204, and Bla36. In contrast, the endocytic activity of L-DCs was elevated compared to that of B-DCs. Finally, mononuclear cells isolated from lung (L-MCs), which are used as precursors for L-DCs, expressed more antigen-presenting cell-associated markers such as MHC class II and CD172α compared to their counterparts from blood. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that L-DCs may be in an earlier differentiation stage compared to B-DCs. Concurrent with this observation, L-MCs possessed significantly more antigen-uptake capacity compared to their counterparts from blood. It is likely that L-DCs play an important role in antigen uptake and processing of respiratory pathogens and are major contributors to respiratory tract immunity and may be ideal tools for future in vitro or ex vivo studies.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the ocular surface change and the inflammatory response in a rabbit model of short-term exposure keratopathy. Methods Short term exposure keratopathy by continuous eyelid opening was induced in New Zealand white rabbits for up to 4 hours. Ultrasound pachymetry was used to detect central total corneal thickness. In vivo confocal microscopy and impression cytology were performed to evaluate the morphology of ocular surface epithelium and the infiltration of inflammatory cells. Immunohistochemistry for macrophage,neutrophil, CD4(+) T cells, and CD8(+) T cells were performed to classify the inflammatory cells. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) was performed to detect ocular surface change.The concentrations of IL-8, IL-17, Line and TNF-αwere analyzed by multiplex immunobead assay. TUNEL staining was performed to detect cellular apoptosis. Results Significant decrease ofcentral total cornealthickness were found within the first 5 minutes and remained stable thereafter, while there were no changes of corneal epithelial thickness.No significant change of corneal, limbal and conjunctival epithelial morphology was found by in vivo confocal microscopy except the time dependent increase of superficial cellular defects in the central cornea. Impression cytology also demonstrated time dependent increase of sloughing superficial cells of the central cornea. Aggregations ofinflammatory cells were found at 1 hour in the limbal epithelium, 2 hours in the perilimbal conjunctival epithelium, and 3 hours in the peripheral corneal epithelium.In eyes receiving exposure for 4 hours, the infiltration of the inflammatory cells can still be detected at 8 hours after closing eyes.Immunohistochemical study demonstrated the cells to be macrophages, neutrophils, CD4-T cells and CD-8 T cells.SEM demonstrated time-depending increase of intercellular border and sloughing of superficial epithelial cells in corneal surface. Time dependent increase of IL-8, IL-17 and TNF-α in tear was found.TUNEL staining revealed some apoptotic cells in the corneal epithelium and superficial stroma at 3 hours after exposure. Conclusions Short term exposure keratopathy can cause significant changes to the ocular surface and inflammatory response. Decrease of central total corneal thickness, aggregation of inflammatory cells, and cornea epithelial cell and superficial keratocyte apoptosis were found no less than 4 hours following the insult.

J Hepatol 2015; 62:458-68.

Abstract
The mononuclear phagocytic system (MPS), comprised of monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells, is essential in tissue homeostasis and in determining the balance of the immune response through its role in antigen presentation. It has been identified as a therapeutic target in infectious disease, cancer, autoimmune disease and transplant rejection. Here, we review the current understanding of the immunophenotype and function of the MPS in normal human liver. Using well-defined selection criteria, a search of MEDLINE and EMBASE databases identified 76 appropriate studies. The majority (n=67) described Kupffer cells (KCs), although the definition of KC differs between sources, and little data were available regarding their function. Only 10 papers looked at liver dendritic cells (DCs), and largely confirmed the presence of the major dendritic cell subsets identified in human blood. Monocytes were thoroughly characterized in four studies that utilized flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy and highlighted their prominent role in liver homeostasis and displayed subtle differences from circulating monocytes. There was some limited evidence that liver DCs are tolerogenic but neither liver dendritic cell subsets nor macrophages have been thoroughly characterized, using either multi-colour flow cytometry or multi-parameter fluorescence microscopy. The lobular distribution of different subsets of liver MPS cells was also poorly described, and the ability to distinguish between passenger leukocytes and tissue resident cells remains limited. It was apparent that further research, using modern immunological techniques, is now required to accurately characterize the cells of the MPS in human liver.

Mechanisms controlling the effects of bevacizumab (avastin) on the inhibition of early but not late formed corneal neovascularization. PLoS One 2014; 9:e94205. [PMID: 24714670 PMCID: PMC3979754 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0094205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2013] [Accepted: 03/13/2014] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the effects and underlying mechanisms of early and late subconjunctival injection of bevacizumab on the inhibition of corneal neovascularization (NV). Methods Corneal NV was induced by closed eye contact lens wear followed by a silk suture tarsorrhaphy in rabbits. Weekly subconjunctival injections of bevacizumab (5.0 mg) for 1 month were started immediately (early treatment group) or 1 month after induction of corneal NV with continuous induction (late treatment group). The severity of corneal NV was evaluated. Immunostaining was used to evaluate the intracorneal diffusion of bevacizumab, and the existence of pericytes and smooth muscle cells around the NV. The expression of AM-3K, an anti-macrophage antibody, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) with its receptors (VEGFR1 and VEGFR2), and vascular endothelial apoptosis were also evaluated. Western blot analysis was performed to quantify the expression level of VEGF, VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 on corneal epithelium and stroma in different groups. Results Early treatment with bevacizumab inhibited corneal NV more significantly than late treatment. Intracorneal diffusion of bevacizumab was not different among different groups. Immunostaining showed pericytes and smooth muscle cells around newly formed vessels as early as 2 weeks after induction. Immunostaining and Western blot analysis showed that VEGF, VEGFR1, and VEGFR2 on corneal stroma increased significantly in no treatment groups and late treatment groups, but not in early treatment group. Bevacizumab significantly inhibited macrophage infiltration in the early but not late treatment group. Sporadic vascular endothelial apoptosis was found at 4 weeks in the late but not early treatment group. Conclusions Early but not late injection of bevacizumab inhibited corneal NV. Late injection of bevacizumab did not alter macrophage infiltration, and can't inhibit the expression of VEGF, VEGFR1, and VEGFR2 on corneal vessels. The inhibition of corneal NV in early treatment group does not occur via vascular endothelial apoptosis.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE The hemoglobin (Hb) scavenger receptor, CD163, is a macrophage-specific protein and the upregulated expression of this receptor is one of the major changes in the macrophage switch to alternative activated phenotypes in inflammation. Accordingly, a high CD163 expression in macrophages is a characteristic of tissues responding to inflammation. The scavenging of the oxidative and proinflammatory Hb leading to stimulation of the heme-oxygenase-1 and production of anti-inflammatory heme metabolites indicates that CD163 thereby indirectly contributes to the anti-inflammatory response. RECENT ADVANCES In addition to this biological role in inflammation, CD163 is a potential inflammation biomarker and a therapeutic target. The biomarker form of CD163 is the soluble plasma CD163 that arises from the increased shedding of CD163 mediated by the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) cleaving enzyme. This explains that a steadily increasing literature documents that the plasma level of soluble CD163 is increased in a large spectrum of acute and chronic inflammatory disorders. The nonshed membrane form of CD163 in macrophages constitutes a target for drugs to be directed to macrophages in inflammation. This approach has been used in an animal inflammation model to highly increase the apparent therapeutic index of anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid drug that was coupled to an anti-CD163 antibody. Furthermore, other recent animal data, which indirectly involve CD163 in macrophages, demonstrate that injections of haptoglobin attenuate Hb-induced damages after blood transfusion. CRITICAL ISSUES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS The diagnostic and therapeutic properties of CD163 await further clinical studies and regulatory approval before implementation in the clinic.

Abstract
The immunohistochemical expression of the class A macrophage scavenger receptor CD204, was investigated in 50 canine histiocytic sarcomas (HSs) and compared with that of CD18, CD163, CD11d and class II molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Expression of CD204 was also determined in 81 canine round cell tumours and pleomorphic sarcomas including T- and B-cell lymphomas, mast cell tumours, extramedullary plasmacytomas, cutaneous histiocytomas, transmissible venereal tumours, pigmented or amelanotic melanomas, poorly differentiated haemangiosarcomas and rhabdomyosarcomas. All of the 50 HSs expressed CD204, CD18 and MHC class II; 27 were positive for CD163 and seven expressed CD11d. All of the round cell tumours, except for one grade III mast cell tumour, were negative for CD204; however, they showed varying immunoreactivity patterns for CD18 and MHC class II. None of the pleomorphic sarcomas were immunoreactive for CD204. CD204 would appear to be a useful marker for canine HS.

Abstract
This study investigated the expression of MUC5B by AMs in the lungs of cigarette smokers and nonsmokers. We analyzed MUC5B expression by measuring the levels of apomucin and mRNA in human BALF cells from 50 subjects (20 nonsmokers, 17 patients with CB, and 13 patients with COPD). apoMUC5B was observed in BALF mononuclear cells in 60% of all subjects, but a significantly higher frequency of apoMUC5B(+) cells was found in subjects with CB (95% CI, 4.5-24.9) or COPD (95% CI, 6.2-39.6) than in nonsmokers (95% CI, 0.5-2.5). apoMUC5B(+) mononuclear cells showed strong expression of CD163, confirming their identity as AMs. MUC5B mRNA expression was detected by ISH in AMs of subjects investigated, and real-time qPCR analysis confirmed MUC5B mRNA expression. In conclusion, MUC5B is expressed in a subset of lung AMs and long-term cigarette smoking may increase the level of MUC5B produced by these cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glypican-3 (GPC3) is frequently upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Analysis of GPC3-deficient mice implies GPC3 involvement in macrophage-lineage cells. AIM In this study, we first assessed the association of GPC3 expression with the macrophage population in liver tissues from 30 HCC patients using immunohistochemistry. METHODS The GPC3 expression was categorized into three patterns - one with GPC3-negative staining and two with GPC3-positive staining (one with unclear membrane staining and one with clear membrane staining, designated GPC3+/C). The number of macrophages that were stained with resident macrophage (rMvarphi) or pan-macrophage (pMvarphi) markers was counted for each GPC3 expression pattern. RESULTS GPC3 immunoreactivity was observed in 76.7% of the HCC specimens. No significant differences were observed in the number of rMvarphi marker-positive cells among the three expression patterns. In contrast, the GPC3+/C pattern showed a significantly higher number of pMvarphi-positive cells compared with the other two patterns, most of which tended to take on the morphology of migrating macrophages. A second experiment conducted to compare macrophage infiltration between the xenograft tissues of a GPC3-transfected HCC cell line and its parent GPC3-nonexpressing cell line revealed that the increase in macrophages was stimulated by membrane expression of GPC3. CONCLUSION The observations suggest that the increased macrophages in the GPC3+/C pattern are likely to be recruited macrophages, not resident macrophages, and that the expression of GPC3 in the membrane is involved in macrophage recruitment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical outcome of vascular bypass surgery using autologous vein graft is limited by neointimal formation associated with vein graft failure. Because inflammatory changes are one of the main pathologic features of vein graft failure, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) might therefore underlie in the mechanism of vein graft failure. There is no direct evidence, however, that shows the benefits of local anti-MCP-1 therapy as a novel molecular approach for prevention of vein graft failure. METHODS To block MCP-1, we used an N-terminal deletion mutant of the MCP-1 gene (7ND), which lacks the N-terminal amino acids 2 to 8, binds to its receptor CCR2, and blocks MCP-1-mediated monocyte chemotaxis. 7ND works as dominant-negative inhibitor of MCP-1. Autologous canine jugular vein grafts were transfected by incubating them ex vivo in a solution with or without adenovirus vectors containing 7ND gene or LacZ gene, and interposed into the carotid arteries. RESULTS Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of 7ND, but not LacZ gene transfer, significantly attenuated inflammation (monocyte infiltration per mm2 on day 7: 328+/-59, 220+/-11, 26+/-4 in control, LacZ, and 7ND groups, respectively, P<.05, n=4 each) and proliferation (appearance of proliferating cells per mm2 on day 7: 1005+/-186, 756+/-106, 252+/-27 in control, LacZ, and 7ND groups, P<.05, n=4 each) at 7 days after the operation and thus suppressed neointimal formation (neointimal area in mm2 on day 28: 1.63+/-0.51, 1.96+/-0.48, 0.68+/-0.10 in control, LacZ, and 7ND groups, P<.05, n=4 each). This strategy also attenuated upregulation of MCP-1 activities but did not affect endothelial regeneration process. CONCLUSIONS Blockade of MCP-1 by adenoviral gene transfer of 7ND limits neointimal formation associated with vein graft failure in dogs. This study highlights the potential therapeutic benefit of local anti-MCP-1 therapy for prevention of neointimal formation associated with vein graft failure.

Abstract
A new monoclonal antibody, PM-1K, was raised against 24-h cultured human peritoneal macrophages. In immunohistochemical assays, PM-1K recognized freshly isolated blood monocytes and most tissue macrophages as well as myeloid dendritic cells such as Langerhans cells and interdigitating cells. The molecular size of the antigen recognized by PM-1K was determined to be 110 kD by means of immunoaffinity purification. Because this affinity-purified antigen recognized by PM-1K was also recognized by anti-CD68 antibodies, it is believed to be one of the heterogeneous molecules of the CD68 antigen. Analysis showed interspecies reactivity of PM-1K with macrophages from guinea pigs, pigs, bovine species, and monkeys. Among these macrophages, those of the guinea pig reacted strongly with PM-1K. Patterns of PM-1K immunostaining in guinea pig tissues were similar to those found in human tissues. Studies with the immunoelectron microscope revealed reaction products of PM-1K in the cytoplasm, especially around endosomes. Since only a few antibodies are available to label guinea pig macrophages, PM-1K is considered to be one of the most suitable antibodies to examine macrophages in experimental guinea pig models.

Abstract
CD163 is a member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich superfamily restricted to the monocyte/macrophage lineage and is thought to be a useful marker for anti-inflammatory or alternatively activated macrophages. In this study we used mass spectrometric analysis to determine that the antigen recognized by the antibody AM-3K, which we previously generated as a tissue macrophage-specific monoclonal antibody, was CD163. An anti-inflammatory subtype of macrophages stimulated by dexamethasone or interleukin-10 showed strong reactivity for AM-3K and increased expression of CD163 mRNA. Immunohistochemical staining of routinely processed pathological specimens revealed that AM-3K recognized a specialized subpopulation of macrophages. In granulomatous diseases such as tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, or foreign body reactions, tissue macrophages around granulomas, but not component cells of the granulomas such as epithelioid cells and multinucleated giant cells, showed positive staining for AM-3K. In atherosclerotic lesions, scattered macrophages in diffuse intimal lesions were strongly positive for AM-3K, whereas foamy macrophages in atheromatous plaques demonstrated only weak staining. We therefore suggest that, in routine pathological specimens, AM-3K is a useful marker for anti-inflammatory macrophages because these cells can be distinguished from inflammatory or classically activated macrophages. Because AM-3K cross-reacts with macrophage subpopulations in different animal species including rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, dogs, goats, pigs, bovine species, horses, monkeys, and cetaceans, it will have wide application for detection of CD163 in various animals.

Abstract
Macrophages play a central role in the immune system, but few markers are available for their detection in cetaceans. The purpose of the present study, therefore, was to examine the cross-reactivity for two cetacean species (short-finned pilot whale and Risso's dolphin) of four anti-human antibodies (SRA-E5, AM-3K, EBM11 and anti-human lysozyme). The distribution of SRA-E5- and AM-3K-positive cells was similar, both antibodies labelling (1) many resident macrophages in the spleen, lymph nodes, liver, lung, kidney, intestine and dermis, and (2) exudate macrophages in the hepatic interlobular septa. Anti-human lysozyme antibody also labelled both resident and exudate macrophages. However, double immunohistochemistry showed that the majority of AM-3K-positive cells in the spleen and liver were also labelled by SRA-E5; on the other hand, anti-human lysozyme-positive cells did not always correspond with AM-3K-positive cells. Cetacean tissues contained no EBM11-positive cells. The study demonstrated the potential values of SRA-E5, AM-3K and anti-human lysozyme antibody for cetacean macrophage studies.

Abstract
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is the feline analog of human immunodeficiency virus and a small animal model of human acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). We sought to identify early in vivo target cells in cats infected with clade B or C FIV. In tissues, however, neither mouse monoclonal nor rabbit polyclonal antibodies suitably detected FIV because of either insensitivity or lack of specificity. We therefore developed an immunohistochemical protocol using high-antibody-titer serum from cats chronically infected with FIV(Petaluma). Native species anti-FIV antibodies were labeled with biotinylated protein A before placement on tissues, and downstream signal was tyramide-amplified. This method revealed many productively infected cells in bone marrow, lymph node, thymus, mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue, and spleen, but few such cells in liver and none in kidney or brain. Concurrent labeling for virus and cell phenotype revealed that antigen-bearing populations were primarily T lymphocytes but included macrophages and dendritic cells. Our results demonstrate that FIV: 1) expands rapidly in T cells, 2) targets long-lived reservoir populations, and 3) is replicatively quiescent in brain at 3 weeks after infection. Use of native species antibodies for immunohistochemical detection of infectious antigens has application to other settings in which xenotypic (eg, mouse and rabbit) antibody sources are inadequate or unavailable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress and inflammation are potentially involved in the pathogenesis of heart failure (HF). We examined whether antioxidant and antiinflammatory treatment with probucol decreases myocardial oxidative stress and inflammation and attenuates the progression of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and remodeling (dilatation) in tachycardia-induced HF. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 3 groups of dogs: a sham-operated control group and 2 other groups that underwent ventricular pacing at 240 bpm with and without probucol treatment (100 mg/kg IP per week) for 4 weeks. Dogs that underwent ventricular pacing for 4 weeks developed signs of HF, such as a reduction in the LV ejection fraction and increases in the LV end-diastolic dimension and LV end-diastolic pressure. Myocardial oxidative stress, as measured by electron spin resonance spectroscopy with 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6,-tetramethyl-piperidine-N-oxyl (hydroxy-TEMPO), was significantly increased. There was an increase in myocardial monocyte infiltration, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 expression, and renin-angiotensin system and matrix metalloproteinase activity. Probucol treatment prevented increases in oxidative stress, inflammation, and matrix metalloproteinase activity and attenuated LV dysfunction and remodeling. CONCLUSIONS Probucol attenuated LV dysfunction and remodeling, possibly through its antioxidant and/or antiinflammatory effects in ventricular pacing-induced HF. These data suggest that inflammatory disorders, which cause an abnormal interaction between failing myocardium and activated monocytes, have an important role in the progression of HF.

Abstract
Class A macrophage scavenger receptor (SR-A) is one of the major receptors of macrophages and plays important roles in atherogenesis and host defense mechanisms. To assess the role of SR-A, monoclonal antibodies were generated by immunizing SR-A-deficient mice with a recombinant protein of human type I SR-A as immunogen. Four antibodies (SRA-C6, SRA-D10, SRA-E5, and SRA-F8) were confirmed to be specific for SR-A by Western blot analysis. In early atherosclerotic lesions, these antibodies recognized scattered macrophages in intima and foamy macrophages in the periphery of atheromatous cores. Interestingly, foamy macrophages in the core lesion were only weakly stained. In other organs, the antibodies recognized tissue macrophages such as alveolar macrophages, Kupffer cells in the liver, red pulp macrophages in the spleen, sinus macrophages in lymph nodes, and interstitial macrophages in various organs. Perivascular macrophages in the brain (Mato cells) were also positive for these antibodies. Freshly isolated blood monocytes were negative; however, they became positive for these antibodies after 1 day in culture. At 3-5 days in culture, the reaction intensity became stronger along their differentiation towards macrophages. Dendritic cells such as interdigitating cells of lymphoid tissues and epidermal Langerhans cells were invariably negative. In the reaction with animal tissues, each antibody showed a unique reaction pattern. Among four antibodies, SRA-E5 recognized SR-A molecules in all animal species examined, including rats and mice. These antibodies will be useful tools for the study of SR-A in atherogenesis and various other pathological conditions in humans and animal species.

Abstract
Some peptide growth factors produced by macrophages play a role in fibrosis following tissue injury, through the induction of myofibroblasts. In the present study, the appearance of macrophages and myofibroblast development in hepatic and renal fibrosis was determined by immunohistochemical analysis of tissue from 15 dogs. The hepatic and renal fibrosis was classified as grade I, II or III, depending on the extent (percentage) of fibrotic areas per unit area measured by morphometry with Azan-stained sections. The presence of alpha-smooth muscle actin-immunolabelled myofibroblasts was directly related to advancing grade of both hepatic and renal fibrosis. Lysozyme-immunolabelled macrophages also increased in number with increasing grade of hepatic and renal fibrosis. These findings indicate that myofibroblasts and lysozyme-positive macrophages may contribute to progressive fibrosis in canine liver and kidney disease. Interestingly, the number of macrophages recognized by AM-3K, a newly generated monoclonal antibody capable of labelling exuded macrophages and resident tissue macrophages in dogs, fell significantly in grades II and III of renal fibrosis. By contrast, in hepatic fibrosis there were no marked differences in the number of AM-3K-positive macrophages between grades. These findings suggest that there are functional differences between lysozyme- and AM-3K-positive macrophages.

Abstract
Reperfusion of the ischemic myocardium is associated with a dramatic inflammatory response leading to TNF-alpha release, IL-6 induction, and subsequent neutrophil-mediated cytotoxic injury. Because inflammation is also an important factor in cardiac repair, we hypothesized the presence of components of the inflammatory reaction with a possible role in suppressing acute injury. Thus, we investigated the role of IL-10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine capable of modulating extracellular matrix biosynthesis, following an experimental canine myocardial infarction. Using our canine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion, we demonstrated significant up-regulation of IL-10 mRNA and protein in the ischemic and reperfused myocardium. IL-10 expression was first detected at 5 h and peaked following 96-120 h of reperfusion. In contrast, IL-4 and IL-13, also associated with suppression of acute inflammation and macrophage deactivation, were not expressed. In the ischemic canine heart, CD5-positive lymphocytes were the predominant source of IL-10 in the myocardial infarct. In the absence of reperfusion, no significant induction of IL-10 mRNA was noted. In addition, IL-12, a Th1-related cytokine associated with macrophage activation, was not detected in the ischemic myocardium. In vitro experiments demonstrated late postischemic cardiac-lymph-induced tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-1 mRNA expression in isolated canine mononuclear cells. This effect was inhibited when the incubation contained a neutralizing Ab to IL-10. Our findings suggest that lymphocytes infiltrating the ischemic and reperfused myocardium express IL-10 and may have a significant role in healing by modulating mononuclear cell phenotype and inducing TIMP-1 expression.

Abstract
The monoclonal antibody AM-3K, which was developed using human pulmonary macrophages as the immunogen, immunocytochemically labels most human macrophages except for blood monocytes and dendritic cell populations. AM-3K also shows cross-reactivity in some animal species. To evaluate the usefulness of AM-3K, the present study investigated the detailed distribution of AM-3K-immunopositive macrophages in normal and diseased tissues of dogs, cats, horses, cattle, pigs, and rabbits. Zamboni's solution-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections were the most available for the immunocytochemistry with AM-3K. In all animal species examined, AM-3K labeled most macrophages in splenic red pulp, lymph node sinuses and thymus, and tissue macrophages in the interstitium of various organs and sites such as the kidneys, lungs, heart, pancreas, intestines, and skin. Alveolar macrophages and perivascular microglial cells were also immunoreactive for AM-3K. Interestingly, Kupffer cells of dogs, cats, and horses were labeled for AM-3K, but those of cattle, pigs, and rabbits were not. Furthermore, in tumor tissues and inflammatory lesions such as liver fibrosis and encephalomalacia that were obtained from dogs, infiltrating macrophages were stained with AM-3K, but not all infiltrating macrophages reacted to AM-3K. In addition, only 30-50% of pulmonary and peritoneal macrophages obtained from cats and dogs were reactive for AM-3K. AM-3K did not react with blood monocytes, dendritic cell populations, and osteoclasts. These observations indicate that AM-3K specifically labels most exudate and tissue macrophages in the animal species examined. However, the expression of antigens recognized by AM-3K on macrophages may be dependent on differential maturation stages or different functions evoked by some conditions. AM-3K immunoreaction products were seen on the cytoplasmic membrane of macrophages by immunoelectron microscopy. AM-3K would be useful for detection of macrophage populations in the animal species examined here.

Abstract
To investigate the distribution of acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase-1 (ACAT-1) in various human tissues, we examined tissues of autopsy cases immunohistochemically. ACAT-1 was demonstrated in macrophages, antigen-presenting cells, steroid hormone-producing cells, neurons, cardiomyocytes, smooth muscle cells, mesothelial cells, epithelial cells of the urinary tracts, thyroid follicles, renal tubules, pituitary, prostatic, and bronchial glands, alveolar and intestinal epithelial cells, pancreatic acinar cells, and hepatocytes. These findings showed that ACAT-1 is present in a variety of human tissues examined. The immunoreactivities are particularly prominent in the macrophages, steroid hormone-producing cells, followed by hepatocytes, and intestinal epithelia. In cultured human macrophages, immunoelectron microscopy revealed that ACAT-1 was located mainly in the tubular rough endoplasmic reticulum; immunoblot analysis showed that the ACAT-1 protein content did not change with or without cholesterol loading; however, on cholesterol loading, about 30 to 40% of the total immunoreactivity appeared in small-sized vesicles. These vesicles were also enriched in 78-kd glucose-regulated protein (GRP 78), a specific marker for the endoplasmic reticulum. Immunofluorescent microscopy demonstrated extensive colocalization of ACAT-1 and GRP 78 signals in both the tubular and vesicular endoplasmic reticulum before and after cholesterol loading. These results raise the possibility that foam cell formation may activate an endoplasmic reticulum vesiculation process, producing vesicles enriched in the ACAT-1 protein.

Abstract
To analyze in vitro the migration of monocytes to the subendothelial space, their differentiation into macrophages, and the subsequent formation of foam cells in vitro, we have developed a 2-coculture system with rabbit aortic endothelial cells (AECs), aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs), and a mixture of matrix proteins on polyethylene filters in chemotaxis chambers. AECs were seeded on a mixture of type I and IV collagen with or without various types of serum lipoproteins (method 1) or on matrix proteins secreted by SMCs (method 2). In these coculture systems, rabbit AECs can maintain a well-preserved monolayer for up to 2 weeks. When human CD14-positive monocytes were added to the upper medium of the system, with monocyte chemotactic protein-1 treatment approximately 60% of the monocytes transmigrated within 24 hours and were retained for up to 7 days, whereas without MCP-1 treatment, <30% of monocytes transmigrated. On day 1, transmigrant monocytes were negative for immunostaining of type I and II macrophage scavenger receptors but by day 3, became positive for scavenger receptors as well as other macrophage markers. When oxidized low density lipoprotein was added to the matrix layer of the method I coculture, on day 4 transmigrant cells exhibited lipid deposit droplets, and by day 7, they had the appearance of typical foam cells. Some of the transmigrant cells recovered in the lower medium on day 7 also appeared to be foam cells, indicating foam cell motility and escape from the coculture layer through the filter. In summary, this coculture system is a useful in vitro tool to dissect the cellular and molecular events that make up the process of foam cell formation.

Abstract
To identify the mechanisms that cause monocyte localization in infarcted myocardium, we studied the impact of ischemia-reperfusion injury on the surface expression and function of the monocyte fibronectin (FN) receptor VLA-5 (alpha(5)beta(1) integrin, CD49e/CD29). Myocardial infarction was associated with the release of FN fragments into cardiac extracellular fluids. Incubating monocytes with postreperfusion cardiac lymph that contained these FN fragments selectively reduced expression of VLA-5, an effect suppressed by specific immunoadsorption of the fragments. Treating monocytes with purified, 120-kDa cell-binding FN fragments (FN120) likewise decreased VLA-5 expression, and did so by inducing a serine proteinase-dependent proteolysis of this beta(1) integrin. We postulated that changes in VLA-5 expression, which were induced by interactions with cell-binding FN fragments, may alter monocyte migration into tissue FN, a prominent component of the cardiac extracellular matrix. Support for this hypothesis came from experiments showing that FN120 treatment significantly reduced both spontaneous and MCP-1-induced monocyte migration on an FN-impregnated collagen matrix. In vivo, it is likely that contact with cell-binding FN fragments also modulates VLA-5/FN adhesive interactions, and this causes monocytes to accumulate at sites where the fragment concentration is sufficient to ensure proteolytic degradation of VLA-5.

Abstract
Macrophage stimulating protein (MSP) exists in blood as inactive pro-MSP. Cleavage yields active MSP, the ligand for a membrane receptor (RON) that is expressed on keratinocytes as well as macrophages. Because both cells have roles in tissue injury, we looked for active MSP and expressed RON in wounds. Concentration of pro-MSP + MSP in wound exudates was in the range for optimal activity. Western blot showed that MSP comprised about half the total, in contrast to less than 10% of the total in blood plasma. The presence of MSP was attributed to an exudate pro-MSP convertase that had an inhibitor profile consistent with a trypsin-like serine protease. Exudate evoked morphologic changes in macrophages in vitro like that of MSP. Removal of this activity by an anti-MSP column shows that exudate stimulation of macrophages is due to MSP. RON was infrequently detected in normal skin. RON protein was markedly upregulated in burn wound epidermis and accessory structures, in proliferating cells or differentiated cells, or both. RON was also detected on macrophages and capillaries. Tissue injury leads to cleavage of pro-MSP to MSP, which has potential to act on keratinocytes, macrophages, and capillaries, all components of the wound healing response.

Abstract
Macrophage scavenger receptors (MSR) are implicated in the development of atherosclerosis and amyloid b-protein deposition in Alzheimer's disease. However, histopathological studies of MSR expression in human tissues have been hampered by a lack of specific antibodies. Using MSR-deficient mice, we successfully raised a novel monoclonal antibody against human MSR together with high-titer antisera. These antibodies specifically recognized human tissue macrophages and human MSR protein purified from differentiated THP1 cells. In normal brain, MSR staining was mainly distributed to the perivascular cells, which correspond to Mato's fluorescent granular perithelial cells (Mato cells). In the lesions of ischemia and Alzheimer's disease, a subset of microglia stained positive for MSR. These novel antibodies are useful tools for analysis of MSR expression in human tissues.
