Abstract
OBJECTIVES Increasing evidence suggests that inflammatory mechanisms play a key role in chronic tendon disease. After observing T cell signatures in human tendinopathy, we explored the interaction between T cells and tendon stromal cells or tenocytes to define their functional contribution to tissue remodelling and inflammation amplification and hence disease perpetuation. METHODS T cells were quantified and characterised in healthy and tendinopathic tissues by flow cytometry (FACS), imaging mass cytometry (IMC) and single cell RNA-seq. Tenocyte activation induced by conditioned media from primary damaged tendon or interleukin-1β was evaluated by qPCR. The role of tenocytes in regulating T cell migration was interrogated in a standard transwell membrane system. T cell activation (cell surface markers by FACS and cytokine release by ELISA) and changes in gene expression in tenocytes (qPCR) were assessed in cocultures of T cells and explanted tenocytes. RESULTS Significant quantitative differences were observed in healthy compared with tendinopathic tissues. IMC showed T cells in close proximity to tenocytes, suggesting tenocyte-T cell interactions. On activation, tenocytes upregulated inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules implicated in T cell recruitment and activation. Conditioned media from activated tenocytes induced T cell migration and coculture of tenocytes with T cells resulted in reciprocal activation of T cells. In turn, these activated T cells upregulated production of inflammatory mediators in tenocytes, while increasing the pathogenic collagen 3/collagen 1 ratio. CONCLUSIONS Interaction between T cells and tenocytes induces the expression of inflammatory cytokines/chemokines in tenocytes, alters collagen composition favouring collagen 3 and self-amplifies T cell activation via an auto-regulatory feedback loop. Selectively targeting this adaptive/stromal interface may provide novel translational strategies in the management of human tendon disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether I-tetrahydropalmatine (I-THP), an alkaloid mainly present in Corydalis family, could ameliorate early vascular inflammatory responses in atherosclerotic processes. METHODS Fluorescently labeled monocytes were co-incubated with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), which were pretreated with I-THP and then simulated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in absence of I-THP to determine if I-THP could reduce thecytokine-induced adhesion of monocytes to HUVECs. Then I-THP were further studied the underlying mechanisms through observing the transcriptional and translational level of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor (NF)-κ B in HUVECs. RESULTS L-THP could block TNF-α-induced adhesion of monocytes to HUVECs and could significantly inhibited the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 on cell surface by 31% and 36% at 30 μ mol/L. L-THP pretreatment could also markedly reduce transcriptional and translational level of VCAM-1 as well as mildly reduce the total protein and mRNA expression levels of ICAM-1. Furthermore, I-THP attenuated TNF-α-stimulated NF-κ B nuclear translocation. CONCLUSION These results provide evidences supporting that I-THP could be a promising compound in the prevention and treatment of the early vascular inflammatory reaction in atherosclerosis by inhibiting monocyte adhesion to vascular endothelial cell through downregulating ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in vascular endothelial cell based on suppressing NF-κ B.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis has been associated with increased oxidative stress and monocyte recruitment by endothelial cells. Sub-endothelial basement membrane proteins, such as laminins that play a central role in cell adhesion, are exposed to reactive oxygen species. In the present study monocyte attachment on human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) that were preattached to oxidized or native laminin, was investigated. Intracellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression by HUVEC was estimated by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. HUVEC attachment to oxidized or native laminin-1 was examined using the Hemacolor kit. Anti-alphaL, anti-alphaM, anti-alpha2 and anti-beta2 integrin subunit antibodies were used in order to further investigate the above phenomena. HUVEC that were preattached to oxidized laminin expressed higher levels of ICAM-1 and monocytes attached at a higher degree to these cells as compared to HUVEC that were preattached to native laminin. Incubation of monocytes with monoclonal antibodies against the alphaM and beta2 integrin subunits equalized the above mentioned differences. Moreover, HUVEC attached to oxidized laminin at a higher degree as compared to native laminin. This difference was equalized after incubation with the antibody against the alpha2 integrin subunit. These results indicate a modified interaction between HUVEC and the basement membranes in cases where laminin is oxidatively modified. This modified interaction results in increased ICAM-1 expression by endothelial cells and consequently increased monocyte recruitment capacity.

Abstract
Cell adhesion and cell migration are essential for a variety of important events in both embryonic development and in the adult organism. Cell adhesion molecules (CAM) like selectins, immunoglobulin superfamily members, integrins, and cadherins undergo diverse mechanisms of regulation. Dysregulation of adhesion can lead to pathological processes, including inflammatory diseases or tumor metastasis either by disrupting the normal anchorage, thereby altering cell movement and regulatory signalling, or by promoting inappropriate temporal and spatial adhesion. An increasing body of evidence has emerged showing that members of the a disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) family critically contribute to the regulation of CAM functions. While the disintegrin domain can interact with integrins and mediate adhesion, the metalloproteinase domain can mediate anti-adhesive functions by cleaving the membrane bound adhesion molecules. This "shedding" process leads to the release of often still functional soluble ectodomains and can additionally influence intracellular cell signalling pathways. Several soluble CAMs have been detected in vitro and in vivo. Some of them are strongly increased in inflammatory diseases or in the serum of cancer patients. Therefore the level of soluble CAMs but also the expression of the metalloproteinases responsible for their release might provide prognostic information. It could also be useful for monitoring malignant disease stages and for evaluating the effectiveness of various therapeutic approaches. Moreover, metalloproteases of the ADAM family are emerging as promising targets for new therapeutic options.

Abstract
The interaction of resident tissue cells with migratory inflammatory cells is essential for the recruitment of immune effector cells to inflammatory sites. The sustained expression of adhesion molecules in the synovium of patients with chronic Lyme arthritis seems to contribute to this chronic inflammation. Whether cell adhesion molecules influence the early steps of Borreliosis is unclear. Therefore, we examined the expression of ICAM-1, ICAM-2, VCAM-1 and NCAM-1 in synovial cells exposed to two different Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto strains Geho and B31. The mRNA expression of ICAM-1, ICAM-2, VCAM-1 and NCAM-1 was not changed in synovial cells exposed to B31. Whereas ICAM-2 and VCAM-1 was upregulated, NCAM-1 mRNA was downregulated and ICAM-1 mRNA was unchanged by strain Geho. The ICAM-1 protein expression on the synovial cell surface was downregulated by both strains. Differential regulation of adhesion molecule mRNA, and subsequent high turnover or elevated shedding from the cell membrane may contribute to early pathogenesis in Lyme arthritis.

Abstract
The adhesion molecule intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is known to play a crucial role in lung inflammation such as endotoxin-induced injury. Although ICAM-1 has been characterized on endothelial cells, limited information is available regarding its expression in the epithelial compartment. The present review provides novel views on this aspect.

Abstract
Central events in the host defence system and immune-mediated damage are tightly regulated by cell adhesion molecules. Sera from 28 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infected children divided into groups according to disease severity, six seroreverting (SR) children and 25 healthy controls were studied to detect the presence of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (s-ICAM-1). Soluble ICAM-1 levels were found to be significantly increased in HIV-infected children in comparison with SR children or healthy controls. Levels of soluble ICAM-1 were higher in patients with severe forms of HIV-infection than in those with a milder form of the disease. Significant differences in titers of s-ICAM-1 were recorded between SR children and HIV-infected children with mild disease or healthy controls. There was a significant correlation between s-ICAM-1 levels and the concentrations of beta 2 microglobulin (beta 2m) and, to a lesser extend, immunoglobulin A levels (IgA). Soluble ICAM-1 levels didn't change considerably in HIV-infected children in stable clinical conditions, independently of their clinical stage of the disease, during a follow-up period of 9-12 months. Conversely, s-ICAM-1 levels increased simultaneously with the appearance of new well-defined clinical disorders or decreased during the improvement of clinical conditions. A significant negative correlation was recorded between the titers of the s-ICAM-1 and the CD4(+) T-cell levels. These results suggest that the s-ICAM-1 might be another useful tool to evaluate disease progression.

Abstract
We studied the long-terms effects of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta; 3 to 6 h) on alpha-(methylamino) isobutyric acid (MeAIB), a nonmetabolizable amino acid transported by system A. We found that IL-1beta induced a large decrease in MeAIB uptake by human osteoarthritic synovial cells and a concomitant increase in prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) synthesis. Therefore, we investigated whether PGE(2) acts as a mediator for the long-term action of IL-1beta. We found that exogenous PGE(2) inhibited MeAIB uptake, and that AH6809, a PGE(2) receptor antagonist, inhibited IL-1beta-mediated MeAIB uptake. To identify the enzymes involved in the IL-1beta-mediated synthesis of PGE(2) that inhibits MeAIB uptake, we studied the expression of secreted (s) and cytosolic (c) phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)). Because both were expressed, we selected a broad spectrum of inhibitors to determine which of the two PLA(2)s was involved. We used AACOCF3, a cPLA(2) inhibitor, and dithiothreitol (DTT) and bromophenacyl bromide (BPB), which are sPLA(2) inhibitors. Our results suggest that the PLA(2) involved in the IL-1beta-mediated synthesis of PGE(2) was sPLA(2). We also showed the expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and its partial involvement using a potent selective COX-2 inhibitor, L-745337. These findings provide insight into the mechanisms underlying the IL-1beta-mediated regulation of transport system A. The Il-1beta-induced inhibition of MeAIB uptake in human osteoarthritic synovial cells thus seems to be essentially mediated by PGE(2) production via the activation of sPLA(2) and the partial activation of COX-2.

Abstract
Mechanisms whereby T lymphocytes contribute to synovial inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis are poorly understood. Here we review data that indicate an important role for cell contact between synovial T cells, adjacent macrophages and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS). Thus, T cells activated by cytokines, endothelial transmigration, extracellular matrix or by auto-antigens can promote cytokine, particularly TNF alpha, metalloproteinase production by macrophages and FLS through cell-membrane interactions, mediated at least through beta-integrins and membrane cytokines. Since soluble factors thus induced may in turn contribute directly to T cell activation, positive feedback loops are likely to be created. These novel pathways represent exciting potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
In 150 patients with Boutonneuse fever (BF), caused by Rickettsia conorii, we studied the plasma levels of soluble L-selectin (sL-selectin), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and E-selectin (sE-selectin) in various phases of disease to clarify their role in disease evolution. Results indicate that during the acute phase of BF there is a significant increase in the serum levels of sL-selectin, sE-selectin, sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1. sL-selectin and sVCAM-1 returned to normal levels in the third week of disease, whereas sE-selectin and sICAM-1 persisted at significantly high levels even after the third week. The secretion of these soluble CAMs in BF is mainly the result of leucocyte expression and endothelial cell activation, but secretion also appears to mediate anti-inflammatory activities, moderating leucocyte adhesion and reducing in particular lymphocyte and monocyte infiltration. Only sL-selectin serum levels were found to correlate with the acute phase of infection characterized by fever.

Abstract
Abstract
Because of the important role of rat ICAM-1 in the development of lung inflammatory injury, soluble recombinant rat ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) was expressed in bacteria, and its biologic activities were evaluated. Purified sICAM-1 did bind to rat alveolar macrophages in a dose-dependent manner and induced production of TNF-α and the CXC chemokine, macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2). Alveolar macrophages exhibited cytokine responses to both sICAM-1 and immobilized sICAM-1, while rat PBMCs failed to demonstrate similar responses. Exposure of alveolar macrophages to sICAM-1 resulted in NFκB activation (which was blocked by the presence of the aldehyde peptide inhibitor of 28S proteosome and by genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor). As expected, cross-linking of CD18 on macrophages with Ab resulted in generation of TNF-α and MIP-2. This response was also inhibited in the presence of the proteosome inhibitor and by genistein. Alveolar macrophages showed adherence to immobilized sICAM-1 in a CD18-dependent manner. Finally, airway instillation of sICAM-1 intensified lung injury produced by intrapulmonary deposition of IgG immune complexes in a manner associated with enhanced lung production of TNF-α and MIP-2 and increased neutrophil recruitment. Therefore, through engagement of β2 integrins, sICAM-1 enhances alveolar macrophage production of MIP-2 and TNF-α, the result of which is intensified lung injury after intrapulmonary disposition of immune complexes.

Abstract
Breast implants containing silicone have been used for approximately 30 years for breast augmentation or reconstruction. In general, the implants have been well tolerated and reports have indicated a high degree of patient satisfaction. Nonetheless, there have been anecdotal reports of patients with musculoskeletal complaints that have been attributed to silicone breast implants. To investigate this further, we prospectively examined 70 women with silicone breast implants who had complaints that they or their referring physicians thought were related to their implants. On clinical examination, the majority of the patients had fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, or soft-tissue rheumatism. One patient had rheumatoid arthritis, which predated her implants, and one had Sjõgren's syndrome. Because many of our patients had myalgic symptoms, we further evaluated these patients by measuring circulating levels of soluble factors including interleukin-6, interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and soluble interleukin-2 receptor, which have been previously found to be elevated in patients with inflammatory diseases. We found that the levels of these molecules in women with silicone breast implants were not different from those seen in normal subjects and were significantly less than those seen when examining chronic inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus. In summary, our clinical and laboratory evaluation of symptomatic breast implant patients argues against an association of silicone breast implants with a distinctive rheumatic disease or a systemic inflammatory disorder. Given these findings and the clinical picture, it is our impression that most symptomatic women with silicone breast implants have well-delineated noninflammatory musculoskeletal syndromes. Moreover, these data fail to support the concept that their symptoms are due to a systemic inflammatory response related to their implants.

Abstract
A disturbed energy balance has been demonstrated in lung cancer patients. Both an enhanced resting energy expenditure (REE) and a decreased energy intake contribute to weight loss. Enhanced systemic levels of inflammatory mediators were found to be related to the enhanced REE in lung cancer. The aim of the present study was to investigate energy metabolism and systemic levels of inflammatory mediators in small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) patients before and after treatment with chemotherapy. Hypermetabolism and an enhanced inflammatory response have already been demonstrated in SCLC by our group before. Twelve newly diagnosed SCLC patients were consecutively included in the study. REE was measured by indirect calorimetry and body composition was determined by bioelectrical impedance (BIA) before and 1 month after treatment. To assess the inflammatory state the acute-phase proteins, C-reactive protein (CRP) and lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), both soluble tumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptors, (sTNF-R)-55 and sTNF-R75, and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule (sICAM)-1 were measured in plasma before and 1 month after treatment. CRP was assessed by turbidemetry, whereas the other inflammatory parameters were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A significant reduction in REE was found irrespective of therapeutic outcome, whereas body weight and body composition remained stable. The acute-phase proteins CRP and LBP were reduced significantly after treatment with chemotherapy, whereas both sTNF receptors and sICAM-1 remained enhanced. No correlation, however, existed between the decrease in REE and the decrease in the acute-phase proteins. In conclusion, chemotherapeutic treatment attenuates the tumour-related metabolic derangements and acute-phase response.

Abstract
Human synovial cells are a suitable model for estimating the physiopathological effects of IL-1 beta (IL-1) in joint. Given the importance of this cytokine in the modulation of cell metabolic activities, we set out to study the action of IL-1 on the neutral amino acid transport A system, using the methyl (aminoisobutyric) acid (MeAIB), the most highly specific and nonmetabolizable substrate for the A system. Stimulation of system A activity by adaptative regulation is a prerequisite to obtain an increase of MeAIB uptake in IL-1-treated cells, since cells which had been grown in a normal medium did not express stimulation of system A activity when IL-1 was added. The IL-1-mediated MeAIB uptake is independent of protein synthesis, since cycloheximide (CHX) did not inhibit MeAIB uptake, and characterized by a decrease in the Michaelis constant K(m) (0.147 vs. 0.270 mmol/l, IL-1 vs. control) and a slight increase in maximal velocity (Vmax) (4.59 vs. 3.89 nmol/mg prot/10 min, IL-1 vs. control). These observations indicate that IL-1 induces modifications in both system A transporter affinity and number. Moreover, we indicate that system A should be responsive in vivo to IL-1 in the same way since derepression and IL-1 action occurred in the presence of human synovial fluid.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine adhesion molecule expression during the progression of inflammation in a rheumatoid arthritis model of adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) in rats. METHODS Immunohistochemical analysis was used to determine the distribution of the following adhesion molecules: lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1; CD11a/CD18), Mac-1 and p150/95 (CD11bc/CD18), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), and CD44 in tissue sections from the ankle joints of rats with AIA. Control animals and those with AIA were killed at intervals over a 54-day period after injection with mineral oil and Mycobacterium butyricum, respectively. RESULTS CD44 and LFA-1 were expressed on lymphocytes, macrophages, and synovial (ST) lining cells. CD44 expression on macrophages was found to be increased compared with control animals by day 18, and was significantly increased by day 41. CD44 expression on lymphocytes significantly increased earlier, on days 11-18. Increased LFA-1 expression on macrophages occurred late, on day 41. LFA-1 expression on lymphocytes was significantly increased on days 25, 47, and 54. ST lining cells exhibited two distinct periods of increased expression, one early, on days 11-25 and one later, on days 41-54. CD11b/c was expressed on macrophages and ST lining cells, showing a significant increase on AIA rat ST lining cells compared with control animals on day 4. No differences in ICAM-1 expression on endothelial cells between rats with AIA and controls were found on any of the days examined. CONCLUSION CD44 expression is up-regulated on macrophages and lymphocytes during the early development of AIA, while LFA-1 expression is up-regulated later in the development of AIA. The up-regulation of CD44 and LFA-1 at different times in the development of AIA suggests an important role for these adhesion molecules in establishing and sustaining an inflammatory response in the AIA joint.

Abstract
Fifty-nine children with acute Kawasaki disease (KD), a childhood vasculitis, were compared with 35 children with fever due to infection and 48 healthy children. Levels of soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) in the healthy children were double those found in adults. All three soluble cell adhesion molecules and von Willebrand factor (vWF) were higher in the children with KD than in the healthy children, but only sE-selectin, a marker for activated endothelial cells, and sICAM-1 were higher than in the febrile children. The high levels of vWF in KD appear to reflect the prominent acute-phase reaction. This information can help us to understand further the complex interactions between cytokines, circulating inflammatory cells and the vascular endothelium, and may lead to new therapeutic avenues in KD and other inflammatory diseases and vasculitides.
