Effect of Different Anticoagulant Agents on Immune-Related Genes in Leukocytes Isolated from the Whole-Blood of Holstein Cows. Genes (Basel) 2023; 14:406. [PMID: 36833333 PMCID: PMC9957540 DOI: 10.3390/genes14020406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Anticoagulants, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), sodium citrate (Na-citrate), or heparin are normally used in hematological clinical tests to prevent coagulation. Although anticoagulants are fundamental for the correct application of clinical tests, they produce adverse effects in different fields, such as those involving specific molecular techniques; for instance, quantitative real time polymerase chain reactions (qPCR) and gene expression evaluation. For this reason, the aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of 14 genes in leukocytes that were isolated from the blood of Holstein cows, and which were collected in Li-heparin, K-EDTA, or Na-citrate tubes; then, they were analyzed using qPCR. Only the SDHA gene showed a significant dependence (p ≤ 0.05) on the anticoagulant that was used with the lowest expression; this was observed in Na-Citrate after being compared with Li-heparin and K-EDTA (p < 0.05). Although a variation in transcript abundance with the three anticoagulants was observed in almost all the investigated genes, the relative abundance levels were not statistically significant. In conclusion, the qPCR results were not influenced by the presence of the anticoagulant; thus, we had the opportunity to choose the test tube that was used in the experiment without interfering effects impacting the gene expression levels caused by the anticoagulant.

Abstract
Monocytes are bone marrow derived innate myeloid cells that circulate in the blood and play important roles in infection and inflammation. As part of the mononuclear phagocytic system, monocytes provide innate effector functions, support the adaptive immune response, and play a role in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. In addition to their role in sensing pathogen-associated molecular patterns using several pattern recognition receptors, monocytes are characterized by their ability to ingest and kill microbes, to produce cytokines and chemokines, and to present antigens to T cells. For a long time, monocytes have been considered as a homogenous cell population, characterized by the expression of CD14, the receptor of lipopolysaccharide. Studies in several species have shown that the monocyte population consists of phenotypically and functionally different cell subsets. In this review, we report a comprehensive phenotyping of monocyte subsets in cattle. In addition, the most characterizing cell markers and gating strategies for detailed immunophenotyping of bovine monocyte subsets are discussed.

The macrophage-related biomarkers sCD163 and sCD206 are released by different shedding mechanisms. J Leukoc Biol 2019; 106:1129-1138. [PMID: 31242338 DOI: 10.1002/jlb.3a1218-500r] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2018] [Revised: 05/30/2019] [Accepted: 06/17/2019] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The hemoglobin receptor CD163 and the mannose receptor CD206 are both expressed on the surface of human macrophages. Upon inflammatory activation, the receptors are shed from the macrophage surface generating soluble products. The plasma concentration of both soluble CD163 (sCD163) and soluble CD206 (sCD206) are increased in several diseases, including inflammatory conditions and cancer. Here, we show that in contrast to CD163, LPS-mediated shedding of CD206 in humans is slow and a result of indirect signaling. Although both sCD163 and sCD206 were increased in response to LPS stimulation in vivo, only CD163 was shed from LPS-stimulated macrophages in vitro. Although both sCD163 and sCD206 were released from cultured macrophages stimulated with zymosan and PMA, shedding of CD206 was generally slower and less efficient and not reduced by inhibitors against the major protease classes. These data indicate that CD163 and CD206 are shed from the macrophages by very different mechanisms potentially involving distinctive inflammatory processes.

Modulation of the inflammatory response of immune cells in human peripheral blood by oxidized arachidonoyl aminophospholipids. Arch Biochem Biophys 2018; 660:64-71. [PMID: 30315768 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2018.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2018] [Revised: 09/18/2018] [Accepted: 10/09/2018] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Aminophospholipids (APL), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylserine (PS), can be oxidized upon oxidative stress. Oxidized PE and PS have been detected in clinical samples of different pathologies and may act as modulators of the inflammatory response. However, few studies have focused on the effects of oxidized APL (ox-APL) esterified with arachidonic acid, even though a considerable number of studies have assessed the modulation of the immune system by oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-3-glycerophosphocholine (OxPAPC). In the present study, we have used flow cytometry to evaluate the ability of oxidized PAPE (OxPAPE) and PAPS (OxPAPS) to promote or suppress an inflammatory phenotype on monocytes subsets and myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs). The results indicate that OxPAPE increases the frequency of all monocyte subpopulations expressing TNF-α, which promotes an inflammatory response. However, immune cell stimulation with OxPAPE in the presence of LPS results in a decrease of TNF-α expressed by classical monocytes. Incubation with OxPAPS and LPS induces a decrease in TNF-α produced by monocytes, and a significant decrease in IL-1β expressed by monocytes and mDCs, indicating that OxPAPS reduces the LPS-induced pro-inflammatory expression in these populations. These results show the importance of OxPAPE and OxPAPS as modulators of the inflammatory response and demonstrate their possible contribution to the onset and resolution of human diseases related to oxidative stress and inflammation.

Abstract
Hemodialysis (HD) patients exhibit chronic inflammation and leukocyte activation. We investigated the surface-marker profile of monocytes by flow cytometry to assess the chronic effect of uremia and the acute effect of dialysis on their phenotypical and functional features in 16 healthy controls (CON) and 15 HD patients before and after a polysulfone-based dialysis session. Median fluorescence intensities were analyzed indicating expression of CD14, CD16, integrins (CD11b, CD18), chemokine receptors (CCR2, CX3CR1), scavenger receptors (CD36, CD163) and Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2). Before and after dialysis, HD patients harbour 0.9-fold less CD14++CD16- (Mo1), 1.8-fold more CD14++CD16+ (Mo2) and CD14+CD16++ (Mo3) monocytes than CON. HD patients' Mo1 showed elevated expression of CD11b (1.7-fold), CD18 (1.2-fold) and CD36 (2.1-fold), whereas CD163 expression was reduced in Mo1 and Mo2 (0.6-fold) compared to CON. These markers remained unaffected by dialysis. CX3CR1 expression on Mo2 and Mo3 was lower in HD patients before (0.8-fold) and further diminished after dialysis (0.6-fold). Stimulation of monocytes resulted in diminished responses in HD patients compared to CON. In conclusion, a systematic analysis of the expression of particular surface markers on distinct monocyte subsets may help to distinguish between uremia and/or dialysis induced effects and to evaluate the functionality of monocytes and biocompatibility of HD.

Monocytes but Not Lymphocytes Carrying HIV-1 on Their Surface Transmit Infection to Human Tissue Ex Vivo. J Virol 2016; 90:9833-9840.

Abstract
Unprotected sexual intercourse with HIV-infected men is the major cause of new infections. HIV virions are released into semen by various cells of the male genital tract, as well as by infected monocytes and lymphocytes present in semen. Some of these virions may attach to the surfaces of cells, infected or uninfected. We investigated whether cells carrying attached HIV on their surfaces can transmit infection. We addressed this question in a model system of human tissue exposed ex vivo to monocytes and lymphocytes carrying HIV on their surfaces. We gamma irradiated the cells to prevent their productive infection. In spite of comparable amounts of HIV attached to monocytes and lymphocytes, only monocytes were capable of transmitting infection and triggering productive infection in tissue. This HIV-1 transmission was mediated by cell-cell contacts. Our experiments suggest that in vivo, HIV attached to infected or uninfected monocytes, which far outnumber lymphocytes in HIV-infected semen, may contribute to sexual transmission of HIV from men to their partners. IMPORTANCE The vast majority of new HIV infections occur through sexual transmission, in which HIV is transferred from the semen of an infected male to an uninfected partner. In semen, HIV-1 particles may exist as free-floating virions; inside infected cells; or attached to the surfaces of cells, whether they are infected or not. Here, we investigated whether HIV attached to the surfaces of monocytes or lymphocytes could transmit infection to human tissue. Incubation of human tissue with monocyte-attached HIV resulted in productive tissue infection. In contrast, there was no infection of tissues when they were incubated with lymphocyte-attached HIV-1. Our results highlight the important role that seminal monocytes may play in HIV transmission in vivo, especially since monocytes far outnumber lymphocytes in the semen of HIV-infected individuals.

Abstract
Reversal of monocyte and macrophage activation and the relationship to viral suppression and T cell activation are unknown in patients with advanced HIV-1 infection, initiating antiretroviral therapy. This study aimed to determine whether reduction in biomarkers of monocyte and macrophage activation would be reduced in conjunction with viral suppression and resolution of T cell activation. Furthermore, we hypothesized that the addition of CCR5 antagonism (by maraviroc) would mediate greater reduction of monocyte/macrophage activation markers than suppressive antiretroviral therapy alone. In the CCR5 antagonism to decrease the incidence of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome study, antiretroviral therapy-naïve patients received maraviroc or placebo in addition to standard antiretroviral therapy. PBMCs and plasma from 65 patients were assessed during 24 wk of antiretroviral therapy for biomarkers of monocyte and macrophage activation. Markers of monocyte and macrophage activation were reduced significantly by 24 wk, including CD14(++)CD16(+) intermediate monocytes (P < 0.0001), surface CD163 (P = 0.0004), CD169 (P < 0.0001), tetherin (P = 0.0153), and soluble CD163 (P < 0.0001). A change in CD38(+), HLA-DR(+) CD8 T cells was associated with changes in CD169 and tetherin expression. Maraviroc did not affect biomarkers of monocyte/macrophage activation but resulted in greater percentages of CCR5-positive monocytes in PBMC. HIV-1 suppression after 24 wk of antiretroviral therapy, with or without maraviroc, demonstrates robust recovery in monocyte subset activation markers, whereas soluble markers of activation demonstrate minimal decrease, qualitatively differentiating markers of monocyte/macrophage activation in advanced disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased hemoglobin (Hb) accumulation was reported in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). CD163 is a macrophage receptor involved in tissue Hb clearance, however its role in AAA has not been reported. We investigated the role of Hb on monocyte recruitment and differentiation towards CD163 expressing macrophages ex vivo, in vitro and in human AAA. METHODS AND RESULTS CD163 mRNA and protein expression was significantly higher in human AAA (n=7) vs. healthy wall (n=6). CD163 was predominantly found in adventitia of AAA, coinciding with areas rich in hemosiderin and adjacent to neoangiogenic microvessels. Dual CD14/CD163 expression was observed in recently infiltrated monocytes surrounding microvessels. A higher release of soluble CD163 was observed in the conditioned medium from AAA (AAA-CM, n=10), mainly in the adventitial layer. Similar to Hb, AAA-CM induced CD163-dependent monocyte chemotaxis, especially on circulating monocytes from AAA patients. Hb or AAA-CM promoted differentiation towards CD163(high)/HLA-DR(low)-expressing macrophages, with enhanced Hb uptake, increased anti-inflammatory IL-10 secretion and decreased pro-inflammatory IL-12p40 release. All these effects were partially suppressed when Hb was removed from AAA-CM. Separate analysis on circulating monocytes reported increased percentage of pre-infiltrating CD14(++)CD16(+) monocytes in patients with AAA (n=21), as compared to controls (n=14). A significant increase in CD163 expression in CD14(++)CD16(+) monocyte subpopulation was observed in AAA patients. CONCLUSIONS The presence of Hb in the adventitial AAA-wall promotes the migration and differentiation of activated circulating monocytes in AAA patients, explaining the existence of a protective CD163-macrophage phenotype that could take up the Hb present in the AAA-wall, avoiding its injurious effects.

Abstract
Subsets of CD16-positive monocytes produce proinflammatory cytokines and expand during chronic infection with the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV). HIV-infected macrophage in tissues may be long lived and contribute to the establishment and maintenance of the HIV reservoir. We found that the (intermediate) CD14(++)CD16(+) and (nonclassical) CD14(+)CD16(++) monocyte subsets are significantly expanded during infection of Rhesus macaques with pathogenic SIV(mac251) but not during infection of sooty mangabeys with the nonpathogenic isolate SIVSM. In vitro glucocorticoid (GC) treatment of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from uninfected or SIV(mac251)-infected Rhesus macaques and HIV-infected patients treated or not with antiretroviral therapy (ART) resulted in a significant decrease in the frequency of both CD16-positive monocyte subsets. Short-term in vivo treatment with high doses of GC of chronically SIV(mac251)-infected macaques resulted in a significant decrease in the CD14(+)CD16(++) population and, to a lesser extent, in the CD14(++)CD16(+) monocytes, as well as a significant decrease in the number of macrophages in tissues. Surprisingly, treatment of SIV(mac251)-infected macaques with ART significantly increased the CD14(++)CD16(+) population and the addition of GC resulted in a significant decrease in only the CD14(+)CD16(++) subset. No difference in SIV DNA levels in blood, lymph nodes, gut, and spleen was found between the groups treated with ART or ART plus GC. Thus, it appears that high doses of GC treatment in the absence of ART could affect both CD16-positive populations in vivo. Whether the efficacy of this treatment at higher doses to decrease virus levels outweighs its risks remains to be determined.

[PMID: 25493244 PMCID: PMC4259935 DOI: 10.5306/wjco.v5.i5.1078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2014] [Revised: 10/10/2014] [Accepted: 10/29/2014] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the M1 and M2 monocyte phenotype in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared to controls. Also, to examine the expression of Th1 and Th2 cytokines in plasma of NSCLC vs controls.
METHODS: Freshly prepared peripheral blood mononuclear cells samples were obtained from patients with NSCLC (lung adenocarcinoma and squamous cell lung carcinoma) and from non-cancer controls. Flow cytometry was performed to investigate M1 and M2 phenotypes in peripheral monocytes (classical monocytes CD14+, CD45+ and CD16-) using conventional surface markers. Th1 and Th2 cytokine production was also analysed in the plasma using cytometric bead array technique.
RESULTS: There were no significant difference in expression of M1 (HLA-DR) and/or M2 markers (CD163 and CD36) markers on classical monocytes in patients with NSCLC compared to non-cancer controls. Expression of CD11b, CD11c, CD71 and CD44 was also shown to be similar in patients with NSCLC compared to non-cancer controls. Th1 and Th2 cytokines [interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12 (p70), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, TNF-β, and interferon-γ] analysis revealed no significant difference between patients with NSCLC and non-cancer controls.
CONCLUSION: This study shows no alteration in peripheral monocyte phenotype in circulating classical monocytes in patients with NSCLC compared to non-cancer controls. No difference in Th1 and Th2 cytokine levels were noted in the plasma of these patients.

Abstract
Subclinical endometritis (SCE) is an important postpartum disease in dairy cows, but conventional cytobrush diagnosis often gives imprecise results. The aim of this study was to analyze disease-associated changes in peripheral blood as potential diagnostic parameters. Cellular subpopulations of blood leukocytes from cows with or without SCE (45-55 days postpartum) were flow-cytometrically quantified. Gene expression of whole blood leukocytes was assessed by PAXgene analysis. Subclinical endometritis cows showed significantly higher number of blood mononuclear cells and neutrophils. Among mononuclear cells, numbers of B-cells, NK-cells, and CD172a-positive monocytes were significantly elevated. Compared with non-SCE cows, blood leukocytes of SCE cows significantly expressed higher copy numbers of CXCL8, TNF, and IL12. To test whether circulating plasma factors are responsible for these changes, leukocytes, polymorphonuclear cells, and monocyte subpopulations (classical, intermediate, nonclassical) of healthy cows were stimulated with plasma of SCE and non-SCE cows. Although gene expression of whole leukocytes and polymorphonuclear cells remained unaltered, plasma from SCE animals significantly elevated expressed messenger RNA copy numbers of CXCL8, CXCL1, and IL1B in intermediate monocytes. In conclusion, elevated number of selected mononuclear subpopulations in peripheral blood and enhanced expression of distinct genes encoding for inflammatory mediators in blood leukocytes reflect the subclinical uterine inflammatory process in cows. Whether the observed changes in the periphery of SCE cows are the consequence of the uterine inflammatory process, or whether they affect the pathogenesis of the disease is currently unknown.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CD163 is the monocyte/macrophage receptor for haptoglobin-haemoglobin complexes. The aim of this study was to assess the kinetics in the expression of CD163 on monocytes and the concentration of soluble sCD163 in serum of psoriatic patients in order to examine the effect of Goeckerman therapy. METHODS sCD163 was measured in 71 patients before and after therapy, and in 57 healthy donors. A subgroup of 40 patients and 25 controls was used to assess the expression of membrane CD163. sCD163 was evaluated by ELISA. Flow cytometry method was used to determine the expression of membrane CD163 on monocytes, expressed as mean fluorescence index (MFI). RESULTS Before therapy, the serum level of sCD163 was significantly higher in our patients than in controls (P=0.0154). However, we observed a profound decrease in sCD163 in our patients after therapy (P=0.0037). Similar to sCD163, pre-treatment expression of CD163 on monocytes was significantly more enhanced in patients than that in controls (P=0.0078). There was a trend towards down-regulation of the expression after therapy, nonetheless, the change was not statistically significant compared to the values before therapy (P=0.8666). This was also confirmed by comparison with controls which displayed lower expression of CD163 than patients after therapy (P=0.0019). The disease activity, expressed as PASI score, was significantly decreased in our patients by GT (P=0.0001). CONCLUSIONS While sCD163 level in psoriatic patients was diminished after GT therapy, CD163 expression on monocytes was altered only to a minor extent.

Abstract
Despite widely acknowledged contributions of innate and adaptive immune systems to the pathogenesis of allergic diseases, mutual interactions occurring in vivo between components of those two systems have not been studied in sufficient detail. Here, we wished to investigate whether phenotypic features of monocytes and CD4+ T cells in allergic patients are reciprocally related. Therefore, we recruited 50 untreated house dust mite-sensitive allergic rhinitis patients and 29 non-atopic healthy individuals and performed comprehensive simultaneous flow cytometric analysis of mutual correlations between levels of CD14, CD16, CD163, CD206, CD124 (IL-4R), CD210 (IL-10R) and CD25, CD124, CD127 (IL-7R), CD210, ICOS expression on monocytes and CD4+ T cells, respectively. We found that CD163 monocyte expression in allergic but not healthy subjects is positively correlated with monocyte IL-10R, and, to a lesser extent, CD206, but not IL-4R expression. Levels of CD163 expression were not related to frequencies of CD14++CD16-, CD14++CD16+, and CD14+CD16++ monocyte subsets. In contrast to healthy controls, intensities of monocyte IL-10R in allergic individuals were significantly correlated with monocyte CD206 and IL-4R expression. In addition, levels of monocyte IL-4R and IL-10R monocyte expression were positively correlated to expression of IL-4R and IL-10R on CD4+ T cells in both groups of studied subjects. Interestingly, we demonstrated a significant positive correlation between levels of monocyte CD206 expression and levels of IL-10R and IL-4R expression on CD4+ T cells in allergic but not healthy individuals. In summary, we conclude that allergic rhinitis is associated with a number of phenotypic alterations of circulating monocytes and CD4+ T cells.

Abstract
Background Membrane-CD14 (mCD14) is expressed on the surface of monocytes, macrophages and polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes (PMN). mCD14 acts as a co-receptor along with Toll like receptor 4 (TLR 4) and MD-2 for the detection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). However, studies using different sample preparation methods and anticoagulants have reported different levels of mCD14 on the surface of monocytes and neutrophils. In this study, the influence of various anticoagulants and processing methods on measurement of mCD14 on monocytes and neutrophils was examined. Results Whole blood samples were collected in vacutainer tubes containing either sodium heparin (HEPARIN), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or sodium citrate (CITRATE). mCD14 on neutrophils and monocytes in whole blood samples or isolated cells was measured by the method of flow cytometry using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled monoclonal antibody. There was a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the mean channel fluorescence intensity (MFI) of mCD14 on neutrophils in whole blood samples anticoagulated with HEPARIN (MFI = 64.77) in comparison with those in whole blood samples anticoagulated with either EDTA (MFI = 38.25) or CITRATE (MFI = 43.7). The MFI of mCD14 on monocytes in whole blood samples anticoagulted with HEPARIN (MFI = 206.90) was significantly higher than the MFI in whole blood samples anticoagulated with EDTA (MFI = 149.37) but similar to that with CITRATE (MFI = 162.55). There was no significant difference in the percentage of whole blood neutrophils or monocytes expressing mCD14 irrespective of type of anticoagulant used. However, MFI of mCD14 on monocytes was about 3.2-folds (HEPARIN), 3.9-folds (EDTA) or 3.7 folds (CITRATE) higher than those on neutrophils. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in mCD14 levels between unprocessed whole blood monocytes and monocytes in peripheral blood mononuclear cell preparation. Conversely, a highly significant difference was observed in mCD14 between unprocessed whole blood neutrophils and isolated neutrophils (p < 0.05). Conclusion From these results, it is suggested that sodium heparin should be the preferred anticoagulant for use in the reliable quantification of the surface expression of mCD14. Furthermore, measurement of mCD14 is best carried out in whole blood samples, both for neutrophils and monocytes.

Abstract
CD163, a haptoglobin-hemoglobin (Hp-Hb) scavenger receptor, expressed by monocytes and macrophages, is important in resolution of inflammation. Age-related non-AIDS co-morbidities in HIV-infected individuals, particularly dementia and cardiovascular disease, result in part from effects of HIV-1 infection on monocyte and macrophage biology. CD163 co-expression on CD14+CD16++ monocytes has been proposed as a useful biomarker for HIV-1 disease progression and the presence of HIV associated dementia. Here we investigated CD163 expression on monocyte subsets ex vivo, on cultured macrophages, and soluble in plasma, in the setting of HIV-1 infection. Whole blood immunophenotyping revealed CD163 expression on CD14++CD16- monocytes but not on CD14+CD16++ monocytes (P = 0.004), supported by CD163 mRNA levels. Incubation with M-CSF induced CD163 protein expression on CD14+CD16++ monocytes to the same extent as CD14++CD16− monocytes. CD163 expression on CD14++CD16+ monocytes from HIV-infected subjects was significantly higher than from uninfected individuals, with a trend towards increased expression on CD14++CD16− monocytes (P = 0.019 and 0.069 respectively), which is accounted for by HIV-1 therapy including protease inhibitors. Shedding of CD163 was shown to predominantly occur from the CD14++CD16− subset after Ficoll isolation and LPS stimulation. Soluble CD163 concentration in plasma from HIV-1 infected donors was similar to HIV-1 uninfected donors. Monocyte CD163 expression in HIV-1 infected patients showed a complicated relationship with classical measures of disease progression. Our findings clarify technical issues regarding CD163 expression on monocyte subsets and further elucidates its role in HIV-associated inflammation by demonstrating that CD163 is readily lost from CD14++CD16− monocytes and induced in pro-inflammatory CD14+CD16++ monocytes by M-CSF. Our data show that all monocyte subsets are potentially capable of differentiating into CD163-expressing anti-inflammatory macrophages given appropriate stimuli. Levels of CD163 expression on monocytes may be a potential biomarker reflecting efforts by the immune system to resolve immune activation and inflammation in HIV-infected individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CD163 is expressed exclusively on cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage and is widely used as a marker of human macrophages. Further, it has been suggested as a diagnostic marker of monocyte/macrophage activity in inflammatory conditions and as a therapeutic target. However, studies continue to exhibit great discrepancy in the measured percentage of CD163-expressing blood monocytes in healthy individuals. In this study we sought to clarify this inconsistency in reported levels of CD163 surface expression by a detailed analysis of a panel of CD163 antibodies used in previous studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cellular distribution of CD163 on human peripheral blood monocytes in freshly drawn blood and peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from buffy-coats was investigated by flow cytometry using CD163 monoclonal antibodies recognizing scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) domain 1 (MAC2-158), domain 4 (R-20), domain 7 (GHI/61), and domain 9 (RM3/1). The CD163 monoclonal antibodies were characterized in binding and endocytosis experiments in human macrophages and CD163-transfected Flp-In CHO cells. Calcium-dependent ligand binding was assessed using surface plasmon resonance, and the specificity of the CD163 monoclonal antibodies was analyzed by western blotting. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Flow cytometric analysis revealed that the estimated proportion of CD163-expressing human peripheral blood monocytes increased when using CD163 monoclonal antibodies recognizing epitopes in the N-terminal part of CD163, remote from the membrane surface. Moreover, the proportion of CD163 positive monocytes observed was highly dependent on free calcium. GHI/61 did not exhibit CD163 binding in the presence of calcium as measured by surface plasmon resonance, which was in agreement with the concordant loss of binding in heparin-stabilized whole blood observed by flow cytometry. In contrast, RM3/1 exhibited weak binding to CD163 in the absence of calcium but high affinity binding to CD163 in the presence of calcium. R-20 and MAC2-158 were unaffected by extracellular calcium levels. The latter SRCR domain 1mAb consistently recognized more than 80% CD163-positive monocytes in human peripheral blood. CONCLUSION Epitope accessibility and extracellular calcium dependence elucidate discrepancies in reported levels of monocytic CD163 expression. Utilizing monoclonal antibodies to the N-terminal part of CD163 more than 80% monocytes in human peripheral blood could be identified as CD163 positive, indicating that most, and conceivably all, human peripheral blood monocytes do express CD163.

Abstract
Infection by HIV is associated with the expansion of monocytes expressing CD16 antigens, but the significance of this in HIV pathogenesis is largely unknown. In rhesus macaques, at least three subpopulations of blood monocytes were identified based on their expression of CD14 and CD16: CD14(high)CD16(-), CD14(high)CD16(low), and CD14(low)CD16(high). The phenotypes and functions of these subpopulations, including CD16(+) monocytes, were investigated in normal, uninfected rhesus macaques and macaques that were infected with SIV or chimeric SHIV. To assess whether these different monocyte subpopulations expand or contract in AIDS pathogenesis, we conducted a cross-sectional study of 54 SIV- or SHIV-infected macaques and 48 uninfected controls. The absolute numbers of monocyte populations were examined in acutely infected animals, chronically infected animals with no detectable plasma virus RNA, chronically infected animals with detectable plasma virus RNA, and animals that died with AIDS. The absolute numbers of CD14(high)CD16(low) and CD14(low)CD16(high) monocytes were elevated significantly in acutely infected animals and chronically infected animals with detectable plasma virus RNA compared with uninfected controls. Moreover, a significant, positive correlation was evident between the number of CD14(high)CD16(low) or CD14(low)CD16(high) monocytes and plasma viral load in the infected cohort. These data show the dynamic changes of blood monocytes, most notably, CD14(high)CD16(low) monocytes during lentiviral infection, which are specific to disease stage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The expression of CD36 (platelet glycoprotein IV) is variable among different individuals and cannot be determined by gene analysis. Previous studies suggest that CD36 expression plays a central role in the pathophysiology of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, a disease of global significance. METHODS We developed a flow cytometric method to quantitatively measure CD36 on monocytes and platelets from whole blood using antibodies to CD36, CD14, and CD61 directly conjugated to different fluorochromes. Commercially available fluorescent beads were used to quantify CD36 expression. RESULTS The assay was successfully run at three different centers. African-Americans (n = 57), nonAfrican-Americans (n = 33), individuals with and without hemoglobin S (n = 15 and n = 12), and children with P falciparum malaria (n = 97) were tested. Platelet-monocyte aggregates, present to varying degrees in different anticoagulants, were eliminated from final analysis. The median fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CD36 among different subjects followed a log-normal distribution. Among African-Americans, 5% were CD36-deficient (logMFI < 1.5; MFI < 32). Expression of platelet CD36 paralleled monocyte CD36. CONCLUSIONS Flow cytometry can be used to quantify the expression of CD36 of platelets and monocytes in EDTA whole blood. The assay will allow investigation of the relationship between CD36 and clinical outcome in malaria and other disease states.

Abstract
CD16+ monocytes are expanded in various inflammatory conditions. Recently it was reported that CD16+ monocytes can be divided into two subsets with contrasting potential of modulating inflammatory responses, namely CD14++CD16+ and CD14+CD16+ monocytes. Here, we characterized and quantified CD14++CD16+ and CD14+CD16+ monocyte subsets in asthmatic patients in the context of severity of disease and different treatment options. Subjects included seventeen severe asthmatics and eighteen moderate asthmatics treated with moderate-to-high doses of inhaled glucocorticosteroids (GCS), twenty nine steroid-naive mild asthmatics and fifteen healthy controls. First, we demonstrated that CD14++CD16+ monocytes, in contrast to CD14+CD16+ monocytes, present significantly higher expression of anti-inflammatory molecule CD163. The frequency of CD14++CD16+, but not CD14+CD16+ monocytes, was significantly higher in patients with severe asthma as compared to mild and moderate asthmatics. However, the frequency of both CD16+ monocyte subsets did not correlate directly with exhaled nitric oxide levels. Short-term administration of oral GCS in patients with exacerbations resulted in a preferential decrease of CD14+CD16+ monocytes. Our study indicates that CD14++CD16+ and CD14+CD16+ monocyte subsets in asthmatics are differentially modulated by both the inflammatory process and GCS treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies in rodents revealed that regulatory T cells (T reg cells) with CD4+CD25+ phenotype can exert suppressive effects on experimentally-induced allergic airway inflammation and airway hyper-reactivity. It is unclear however, whether modulations of bronchoconstriction responses in human subjects might be related to T reg cells. We report here for the first time the changes in frequency of circulating lymphocytes with putative T reg cell phenotype (CD4+CD25+CD127low) in relation to bronchoconstriction phenotype following an intrabronchial allergen challenge. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-one house dust mite sensitive patients were challenged with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus extract (Dp). Eleven isolated early responders (IER) were compared with nine dual (early and late) responders (DR) and to 11 non-responders (NR). Frequencies of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+CD127low lymphocytes were assessed in all groups of patients by using three-parameter flow cytometry before, and six and 24 h, after allergen inhalation. RESULTS At baseline, frequencies of CD4+CD25+CD127low lymphocytes were not statistically different among NR, IER and DR. When all individuals were analyzed together, a statistically significant decrease in frequency of CD4+CD25+CD127low lymphocytes was observed 6 h after the bronchial challenge. Interestingly, such a pattern was found consistently only in NR, while IER and DR displayed varying responses resulting in a trend similar to that of NR. Twenty-four hours after the bronchial challenge, frequencies of CD4+CD25+CD127low lymphocytes in all groups tended to return to baseline values. CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that bronchial allergen inhalation in sensitive patients (predominantly in those who did not develop significant bronchoconstriction) is associated with a decrease of proportion of peripheral lymphocytes with regulatory T cell phenotype.
