Abstract
We studied the response of hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells to sympatholytic reserpine in intact C57Bl/6 mice and in animals with cyclophosphamide-induced leukopenia. The count of long-term hematopoietic stem cells (Lin(-)Sca-1(+)c-kit(+)CD34(-)) in the bone marrow of healthy mice increased in 7 min after reserpine injection and remained elevated in 2 h in parallel with elevated content of short-term stem (Lin(-)Sca-1(+)c-kit(+)CD34(+)) and progenitor (Lin(-)Sca-1(+)c-kit(+)) cells. Reserpine produced no effect on recruitment of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells into the peripheral blood, but increased the serum level of granulocyte CSF and increased the count of metamyelocytes and neutrophilic granulocytes in the blood (in 2 h postinjection). Transplantation of bone marrow hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from reserpine-treated donor C57Bl/6 mice to recipient CBA mice with 5-fluorouracil-induced leukopenia accelerated regeneration of the granulocytic lineage cells in leukemic mice. In cyclophosphamide-treated C57Bl/6 mice, reserpine reduced the level of short-term hematopoietic stem cells and increased the count of progenitor hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow in parallel with recruitment of the progenitors into the peripheral blood.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only curative option for a number of malignant and nonmalignant diseases. As the use of hematopoietic transplant has expanded, so too has the source of stem and progenitor cells. The predominate source of stem and progenitors today, particularly in settings of autologous transplantation, is mobilized peripheral blood. This review will highlight the historical advances which led to the widespread use of peripheral blood stem cells for transplantation, with a look toward future enhancements to mobilization strategies.

Abstract
Acute cold restraint stress (ACRS) has been reported to suppress host defenses against Listeria monocytogenes, and this suppression was mediated by beta1-adrenoceptors (β1-ARs). Although ACRS appears to inhibit mainly early innate immune defenses, interference with leukocyte chemotaxis and the involvement of β1-AR (or β2-AR) signaling had not been assessed. Thus, the link between sympathetic nerve stimulation, release of neurotransmitters, and changes in blood leukocyte profiles, including oxidative changes, following ACRS was evaluated. The numbers of leukocyte subsets in the blood were differentially affected by β1-ARs and β2-ARs following ACRS; CD3(+) (CD4 and CD8) T-cells were shown to be decreased following ACRS, and the T cell lymphopenia was mediated mainly through a β2-AR mechanism, while the decrease in CD19(+) B-cells was influenced through both β1- and β2-ARs, as assessed by pharmacological and genetic manipulations. In contrast to the ACRS-induced loss of circulating lymphocytes, the number of circulating neutrophils was increased (i.e., neutrophilia), and this neutrophilia was mediated through β1-ARs. The increase in circulating neutrophils was not due to an increase in serum chemokines promoting neutrophil emigration from the bone marrow; rather it was due to neutrophil release from the bone marrow through activation of a β1-AR pathway. There was no loss of glutathione in any of the leukocyte subsets suggesting that there was minimal oxidative stress; however, there was early production of nitric oxide and generation of some protein radicals. Premature egress of neutrophils from bone marrow is suggested to be due to norepinephrine induction of nitric oxide, which affects the early release of neutrophils from bone marrow and lessens host defenses.

Abstract
A small proportion of cells in peripheral blood are actually pluripotent stem cells. These peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) are thought to be heterogeneous and could be exploited for a variety of clinical applications. The exact number of distinct populations is unknown. It is likely that individual PBSC populations detected by different experimental strategies are similar or overlapping but have been assigned different names. In this mini review, we divide PBSCs into seven groups: hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), CD34- stem cells, CD14+ stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), very small embryonic-like (VSEL) stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), and other pluripotent stem cells. We review the major characteristics of these stem/progenitor cell populations and their potential applications in ophthalmology.

Abstract
Much evidence has identified a direct anatomical and functional link between the brain and the immune system, with glucocorticoids (GCs), catecholamines (CAs), and neuropeptide Y (NPY) as its end-point mediators. This suggests the important role of these mediators in immune system homeostasis and the pathogenesis of inflammatory autoimmune diseases. However, although it is clear that these mediators can modulate lymphocyte maturation and the activity of distinct immune cell types, their putative role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disease is not yet completely understood. We have contributed to this field by discovering the influence of CAs and GCs on fine-tuning thymocyte negative selection and, in particular, by pointing to the putative CA-mediated mechanisms underlying this influence. Furthermore, we have shown that CAs are implicated in the regulation of regulatory T-cell development in the thymus. Moreover, our investigations related to macrophage biology emphasize the complex interaction between GCs, CAs and NPY in the modulation of macrophage functions and their putative significance for the pathogenesis of autoimmune inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Among people exposed to major psychological stressors in early life, there are elevated rates of morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases of aging. The most compelling data come from studies of children raised in poverty or maltreated by their parents, who show heightened vulnerability to vascular disease, autoimmune disorders, and premature mortality. These findings raise challenging theoretical questions. How does childhood stress get under the skin, at the molecular level, to affect risk for later diseases? And how does it incubate there, giving rise to diseases several decades later? Here we present a biological embedding model, which attempts to address these questions by synthesizing knowledge across several behavioral and biomedical literatures. This model maintains that childhood stress gets "programmed" into macrophages through epigenetic markings, posttranslational modifications, and tissue remodeling. As a consequence these cells are endowed with proinflammatory tendencies, manifest in exaggerated cytokine responses to challenge and decreased sensitivity to inhibitory hormonal signals. The model goes on to propose that over the life course, these proinflammatory tendencies are exacerbated by behavioral proclivities and hormonal dysregulation, themselves the products of exposure to early stress. Behaviorally, the model posits that childhood stress gives rise to excessive threat vigilance, mistrust of others, poor social relationships, impaired self-regulation, and unhealthy lifestyle choices. Hormonally, early stress confers altered patterns of endocrine and autonomic discharge. This milieu amplifies the proinflammatory environment already instantiated by macrophages. Acting in concert with other exposures and genetic liabilities, the resulting inflammation drives forward pathogenic mechanisms that ultimately foster chronic disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Blood cell production is maintained by hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that reside in specialized niches within bone marrow. Treatment with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) causes HSC egress from bone marrow niches and trafficking to the peripheral blood, a process termed 'mobilization'. Although the mobilization phenomenon has been known for some time and is utilized clinically to acquire HSC for transplant, the mechanisms mediating HSC release are not completely understood. We discuss recent advances and controversies in defining the mechanisms responsible for G-CSF-induced mobilization. RECENT FINDINGS New reports define a role for resident monocytes/macrophages in maintaining niche cells, which is diminished after G-CSF treatment, suggesting a new mechanism for mobilization. Although osteoblasts have been reported to be a primary component of the HSC niche, new results suggest a unique niche composed of innervated mesenchymal stem cells. Modulating bioactive lipid signaling also facilitates mobilization, and may define a future therapeutic strategy. SUMMARY Hematopoietic mobilization by G-CSF is primarily mediated by alterations to the bone marrow niche by both direct and indirect mechanisms, rather than directly altering HSC function. Further understanding of the processes mediating mobilization will advance our understanding on the cellular and molecular components of the HSC niche.

Abstract
The vast majority of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reside in specialized niches within the bone marrow during steady state, maintaining lifelong blood cell production. A small number of HSCs normally traffic throughout the body; however, exogenous stimuli can enhance their release from the niche and entry into the peripheral circulation. This process, termed mobilization, has become the primary means to acquire a stem cell graft for hematopoietic transplant at most transplant centers. Currently, the preferred method of HSC mobilization for subsequent transplantation is treatment of the donor with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. The mobilizing effect of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor is not completely understood, but recent studies suggest that its capacity to mobilize HSCs, at least in part, is a consequence of alterations to the hematopoietic niche. The present article reviews some of the key mechanisms mediating HSC mobilization, highlighting recent advances and controversies in the field.

Abstract
As glucocorticoids influence both catecholamine synthesis and adrenoceptor expression by immune cells, the current study was undertaken to distinguish their direct effects on the development of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis from those induced by alteration of catecholamine signaling. We examined the influence of 16-day-long beta-adrenoceptor blockade with propranolol (0.40 mg/100 g body weight/day, s.c.) beginning 3 days before immunization on the development of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in adrenalectomized (7 days before immunization) and in non-operated male Dark Agouti rats. Adrenalectomy aggravated the clinical course of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis. In contrast, propranolol attenuated both the clinical signs of the disease and decreased the number of lesions in the spinal cord. Furthermore, propranolol prevented adrenalectomy-induced aggravation of the disease course without affecting mortality. We also found that the percentage of CD4(+)CD25(+) T lymphocytes (recently activated or regulatory cells) was increased in peripheral blood of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis rats over that in the corresponding non-immunized and bovine serum albumin immunized rats. However, the percentage of these cells was reduced in adrenalectomized and/or propranolol-treated experimental allergic encephalomyelitis rats compared to control experimental allergic encephalomyelitis rats. Our findings, coupled with the clinical course of the disease and the underlying pathomorphological changes, clearly suggest that differential mechanisms were responsible for the changes in the percentage of CD4(+)CD25(+) T lymphocytes in propranolol-treated adrenalectomized rats and only propranolol-treated rats with experimental allergic encephalomyelitis. Our results, when viewed globally, indicate that: i) beta-adrenoceptor-dependent mechanisms are involved in the immunopathogenesis of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, ii) experimental allergic encephalomyelitis has a more severe course in adrenalectomized rats and iii) beta-adrenoceptor-mediated mechanisms operate in adrenalectomy-induced aggravation of the disease.

Abstract
We describe a comprehensive translational approach for identifying candidate genes for alcoholism. The approach relies on the cross-matching of animal model brain gene expression data with human genetic linkage data, as well as human tissue data and biological roles data, an approach termed convergent functional genomics. An analysis of three animal model paradigms, based on inbred alcohol-preferring (iP) and alcohol-non-preferring (iNP) rats, and their response to treatments with alcohol, was used. A comprehensive analysis of microarray gene expression data from five key brain regions (frontal cortex, amygdala, caudate-putamen, nucleus accumbens and hippocampus) was carried out. The Bayesian-like integration of multiple independent lines of evidence, each by itself lacking sufficient discriminatory power, led to the identification of high probability candidate genes, pathways and mechanisms for alcoholism. These data reveal that alcohol has pleiotropic effects on multiple systems, which may explain the diverse neuropsychiatric and medical pathology in alcoholism. Some of the pathways identified suggest avenues for pharmacotherapy of alcoholism with existing agents, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Experiments we carried out in alcohol-preferring rats with an ACE inhibitor show a marked modulation of alcohol intake. Other pathways are new potential targets for drug development. The emergent overall picture is that physical and physiological robustness may permit alcohol-preferring individuals to withstand the aversive effects of alcohol. In conjunction with a higher reactivity to its rewarding effects, they may able to ingest enough of this nonspecific drug for a strong hedonic and addictive effect to occur.
