Abstract
BackgroundPrediction models based on traditional cardiovascular risk factors underestimate the risk of cardiovascular events (CVE) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).ObjectivesWe aimed to determine whether sCD163, a biomarker for SLE-associated atherosclerosis, may predict CVE in SLE.MethodsAll SLE patients included between 2007 and 2010 in the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter PLUS trial were screened. Patients with no past history of CVE at inclusion and a follow-up period of >20 months were analyzed. sCD163 level was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on serum collected at PLUS inclusion. The primary outcome was the incident CVE. Factors associated with incident CVE and sCD163 level were analyzed.ResultsOverall, 442 SLE patients (of the 573 included in the PLUS study) were analyzed for the primary outcome with a median follow up of 110 (interquartile range: 99–120) months. Among them, 29 (6.6%) experienced at least one CVE that occurred at a median of 67 (interquartile range: 31–91) months after inclusion. In the multivariate analysis, dyslipidaemia, age and increased sCD163 were associated with CVE onset. Multivariate Cox models analysis showed that a concentration of sCD163> 263 ng/mL at inclusion increased by 2.7 [hazard ratio 2.7 (95% CI: 1.0, 7.0)] the risk of CVE in SLE. Increased sCD163 was also associated with immunosuppressive treatment, higher body mass index (BMI) and SLEDAI score.ConclusionMacrophage-specific sCD163 serum level reflects lupus disease activity and predicts CVE in SLE.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to determine whether sCD163, a soluble macrophage marker up-regulated in numerous inflammatory disorders, is predictive of accelerated atherosclerosis associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods: Carotid ultrasound was prospectively performed, at baseline and during follow-up, in 63 consecutive SLE patients asymptomatic for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and 18 volunteer health workers. Serum sCD163 level was determined at baseline using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The primary outcome was the presence of a carotid plaque. Factors associated with carotid plaques were identified through multivariate analysis.Results: Despite a low risk for cardiovascular events according to Framingham score in both groups (2.1 ± 3.8% in SLE vs 2.1 ± 2.9% in controls; p = 0.416), ultrasound at baseline showed a carotid plaque in 23 SLE patients (36.5%) and two controls (11.1%) (p = 0.039). Multivariate analysis showed that SLE status increased the risk for carotid plaque by a factor of 9 (p = 0.017). In SLE patients, sCD163 level was high (483.7 ± 260.8 ng/mL vs 282.1 ± 97.5 ng/mL in controls; p < 0.001) and independently associated with carotid plaques, as assessed by stratification based on sCD163 quartile values (p = 0.009), receiver operating characteristics (p = 0.001), and multivariate analysis (p = 0.015). sCD163 at baseline was associated with the onset of carotid plaque during follow-up (3 ± 1.4 years) in SLE patients who had no carotid plaque at the first evaluation (p = 0.041).Conclusion: sCD163 is associated with progressing carotid plaque in SLE and may be a useful biomarker for accelerated atherosclerosis in SLE patients at apparent low risk for CVD.

Abstract
Several convergent destructive mechanisms such as oxidative stress, alveolar cell apoptosis, extracellular matrix proteolysis and chronic inflammation contribute to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development. Evidence suggests that oxidative stress contributes to the pathophysiology of COPD, particularly during exacerbations. Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2), a transcription factor expressed predominantly in epithelium and alveolar macrophages, has an essential protective role in the lungs through the activation of antioxidant response element-regulated antioxidant and cytoprotective genes. Animal models and human studies have identified NRF2 and several NRF2 target genes as a protective system against inflammation and oxidative stress from cigarette smoke, a major causative factor in COPD development. Hence, NRF2 targeting might provide clinical benefit by reducing both oxidative stress and inflammation in COPD.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of pulmonary emphysema. Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) a major antioxidant transcription factor could play a protective role in pulmonary emphysema. AREAS COVERED IN THIS REVIEW Nrf2 is ubiquitously expressed throughout the lung, but is predominantly found in epithelium and alveolar macrophages. Evidence suggests that Nrf2 and several Nrf2 downstream genes have an essential protective role in the lung against oxidative stress from environmental pollutants and toxicants such as cigarette smoke, a major causative factor for the development and progression of pulmonary emphysema. Application of Nrf2-deficient mice identified an extensive range of protective roles for Nrf2 against the pathogenesis of pulmonary emphysema. Therefore, Nrf2 promises to be an attractive therapeutic target for intervention and prevention strategies. WHAT THE READER WILL GAIN In this review, we discuss recent findings on the association of oxidative stress with pulmonary emphysema. We also address the mechanisms of Nrf2 lung protection against oxidative stress based on emerging evidence from experimental oxidative disease models and human studie. TAKE HOME MESSAGE The current literature suggests that among oxidative stress targets, Nrf2 is a valuable therapeutic target in pulmonary emphysema.

Abstract
Tobacco may be involved in the decreased macrophage heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression described in smoking-induced severe emphysema, via the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)-BTB and CNC homology 1, basic leucine zipper transcription factor 1 (Bach1) pathway. We assessed in vitro effects of cigarette smoke condensate (CS) in the human monocyte/macrophage cell line (THP-1). CS exposure led to increased HO-1 and nuclear Nrf2 expression (6 h) followed by decreased HO-1 expression concomitantly with nuclear Nrf2/Bach1 ratio decrease (72h). CS-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation. Extracellular-signal-regulated kinase(1/2) (ERK(1/2)) and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibition completely abrogated CS effects on HO-1 expression and nuclear Nrf2/Bach1 translocation. These results suggest that ERK(1/2) and JNK are involved in CS-induced biphasic HO-1 expression by a specific regulation of Nrf2/Keap1-Bach1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) stimulates elastin synthesis by lung fibroblasts and induces alveolar regeneration in animal models of pulmonary emphysema. However, ATRA treatment has had disappointing results in human emphysema. It was hypothesised that a defect in the ATRA signalling pathway contributes to the defect of alveolar repair in the human emphysematous lung. METHODS Fibroblasts were cultured from the lung of 10 control subjects and eight patients with emphysema. Elastin and retinoic acid receptor (RAR)-beta mRNAs were measured in those cells in the presence of incremental concentrations of ATRA. RARs, retinoic X receptors (RXRs) and cellular retinoic acid binding protein (CRABP) 1 and 2 mRNAs were measured as well as CRABP2 protein content. The effect of CRABP2 silencing on elastin and RAR-beta expression in response to ATRA was measured in MRC5 lung fibroblasts. RESULTS ATRA at 10(-9) M and 10(-8) M increased median elastin mRNA expression by 182% and 126% in control but not in emphysema fibroblasts. RAR-beta mRNA expression was induced by ATRA in control as well as emphysema fibroblasts. RARs, RXRs and CRABP1 mRNAs were similarly expressed in control and emphysema fibroblasts while CRABP2 mRNA and protein were lower in emphysema fibroblasts. CRABP2 silencing abrogated the induction of elastin but not RAR-beta expression by ATRA in MRC5 fibroblasts. CONCLUSION Pulmonary emphysema fibroblasts fail to express elastin under ATRA stimulation. CRABP2, which is necessary for elastin induction by ATRA in MRC-5 cells, is expressed at low levels in emphysema fibroblasts. This alteration in the retinoic acid signalling pathway in lung fibroblasts may contribute to the defect of alveolar repair in human pulmonary emphysema. These results are the first demonstration of the involvement of CRABP2 in elastin expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress, resulting from the increased oxidative burden and decreased level of antioxidant proteins, plays a role in the pathophysiology of smoking-related pulmonary emphysema. Expression of several antioxidant proteins, such as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), glutathione peroxidase 2 (GPX2) and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), results from an equilibrium created by positive or negative regulation by the transcription factors Nrf2, Keap1 and Bach1, respectively. However, whether the expression of these transcription factors is altered in emphysema and could account for decreased expression of antioxidant proteins is not known. A study was undertaken to investigate the expression and subcellular localisation of Nrf2, Keap1 and Bach1 as potential regulators of HO-1, GPX2 and NQO1 in alveolar macrophages, a key cell in oxidative stress, in lung surgical specimens from non-smokers without emphysema and smokers with and without emphysema. METHODS AND RESULTS Western blot, immunohistochemical and laser scanning confocal analysis revealed that the Nrf2 protein level decreased significantly in whole lung tissue and alveolar macrophages (cytosol and nucleus) in patients with emphysema compared with those without emphysema. Conversely, Bach1 and Keap1 levels were increased in patients with emphysema. These modifications were associated with a parallel decrease in the expression of HO-1, GPX2 and NQO1 at the cellular level, which was inversely correlated with airway obstruction and distension indexes, and increased macrophage expression of the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal. Silencing RNA experiments in vitro in THP-1 cells were performed to confirm the cause-effect relation between the loss of Nrf2 and the decrease in HO-1, NQO1 and GPX2 expression. Nrf2/Keap1-Bach1 equilibrium was altered in alveolar macrophages in pulmonary emphysema, which points to a decreased stress response phenotype. CONCLUSIONS This finding opens a new view of the pathophysiology of emphysema and could provide the basis for new therapeutic approaches based on preservation and/or restoration of such equilibrium.

Abstract
The National Kidney Foundation/Kidney-Dialysis Outcome Quality Initiative guidelines recommend to maintain the serum intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentration between 150 and 300 ng/l in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 patients. As these limits were derived from studies that used the Allegro intact PTH assay, we aimed to evaluate whether they were applicable to other PTH assays. We compared the PTH concentrations measured with 15 commercial immunoassays in 47 serum pools from dialysis patients, using the Allegro intact PTH assay as the reference. We also evaluated the recovery of graded amounts of synthetic 1-84 and 7-84 PTH added separately to a serum pool. Although the assays were highly correlated, the concentrations differed from one assay to another. The median bias between the tested assays and the Allegro intact PTH assay ranged from -44.9 to 123.0%. When the PTH concentrations were 150 or 300 ng/l with the Allegro intact PTH assay, they ranged with other assays from 83 to 323 ng/l and from 160 to 638 ng/l, respectively. The tested assays recognized 7-84 PTH with various cross-reactivities, whereas a given amount of 1-84 PTH was recovered differently by these assays. We found important inter-method variability in PTH results owing to both antibody specificity and standardization reasons. The unacceptable consequence is that opposite therapeutic attitudes may be reached in a single patient depending on the PTH assay used. We propose to use assay-specific decision limits for CKD patients, or to apply a correcting factor to the PTH results obtained with a given assay.

Abstract
Reported cases of angular pregnancy, which by definition corresponds to pregnancy developing in a uterine horn, are rare. Etiologies as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are discussed. The anatomic modifications resulting from uterine fibromyoma and affecting embryo nidation in the uterine cavity of the uterus are the leading cause of angular pregnancy. The course of pregnancy depends on the evolution of the fibromyoma. Treatment therefore depends on the clinical course. Early diagnosis is essential for conservative treatment. In the case presented here, angular pregnancy was diagnosis following development of aseptic necrobiosis, the most common complication of fibromyosma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The overexpression of interferon (IFN)gamma or interleukin (IL)-13 in the adult murine lung induces the development of changes that mirror human lung emphysema. METHODS IL-13 and IFNgamma expression was determined in lung samples from five groups of PATIENTS severe emphysema without alpha(1)-antitrypsin deficiency (SE+, n = 10); severe emphysema with alpha(1)-antitrypsin deficiency (SE-, n = 5); mild localised emphysema (ME, n = 8); non-emphysema smokers (NE-S, n = 9), and non-emphysema non-smokers (NE-NS, n = 11). Lung IL-13 and IFNgamma mRNA were analysed by RT-PCR. Lung concentrations of IL-13 protein were assessed by ELISA. RESULTS The expression of IFNgamma mRNA was similar in patients with or without emphysema. IL-13 mRNA was markedly decreased in the SE+ group compared with the SE- (p = 0.04), ME (p = 0.02), and non-emphysema groups (p = 0.01). IL-13 mRNA correlated with forced expiratory volume in 1 second (r = 0.5, p = 0.04) and arterial oxygen tension (r = 0.45, p = 0.03) in emphysema patients. In contrast to the non-emphysematous lung, IL-13 protein was below the detection limit of the assay in most emphysematous lung homogenates. CONCLUSION The lung IL-13 content is reduced in patients with severe emphysema without alpha(1)-antitrypsin deficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) alters the ex vivo cytokine production of whole blood cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and to assess the roles of interleukin (IL)-10 and an extracorporeal circuit (ECC) in the alteration. DESIGN Prospective, controlled study. SETTING Biochemistry laboratory and surgical intensive care unit in a university hospital. PATIENTS Seventeen consecutive adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting or valve surgery with normothermic CPB and eight healthy volunteers. INTERVENTIONS Blood samples for cytokine measurement were drawn from patients before and during (at 60, 90, 120, 180 and 360 mins) CPB and were cultured with and without LPS and with and without anti-IL-10 antibodies. Blood was also drawn from healthy subjects and sampled for cytokine analysis before and during circulation in an isolated ECC. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The concentrations of ex vivo tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10, measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, were reduced in both experimental settings. In patients on CPB, LPS hyporesponsiveness was detected at 60 mins after the onset of CPB and was maximal at 120 mins (78% to 86% decreases from pre-CPB levels) but was transient, except for TNF-alpha. The plasma concentration of IL-10 peaked at 90 mins after the start of CPB, but the role of IL-10 in LPS hyporesponsiveness appears limited because anti-IL-10 antibodies significantly increased ex vivo production of IL-6 but not TNF-alpha or IL-8. In the isolated ECC study, no IL-10 was detected in plasma, yet the ex vivo production of the cytokines (except IL-8) was decreased (by 66% to 95%). CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate the following: a) CPB induces an early and transient LPS hyporesponsiveness of whole blood as measured by cytokine production; b) IL-10 seems only partly involved in this process, and its role is restricted to an in vivo situation; and c) contact of blood with an ECC is sufficient to induce LPS hyporesponsiveness.

Abstract
Oncostatin M (OSM) is an interleukin-6 (IL-6) family cytokine known in particular to induce the synthesis of acute-phase proteins by hepatocytes. Because human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) can secrete numerous cytokines, the potential production of OSM by PMN was investigated. Highly purified PMN were found to contain an intracellular stock of preformed OSM that was rapidly mobilized by degranulating agents such as phorbol myristate acetate and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Moreover, PMN produced OSM after a few hours of stimulation by various agonists. The most potent effect was observed with the combination of lipopolysaccharide and GM-CSF, which had a concentration- and time-dependent effect at both the protein and mRNA levels. Actinomycin D strongly reduced OSM mRNA induction, suggesting the involvement of gene transcription. Cycloheximide inhibited OSM protein synthesis but did not affect the release of preformed stores. In addition, OSM production was downregulated by dexamethasone, whereas IL-10 had no effect. The OSM produced by PMN was biologically active, as demonstrated by its ability to induce alpha1-acid glycoprotein synthesis by HepG2 cells. OSM secretion thus occurs through a two-step mechanism in PMN, consisting of early release of a preformed stock, followed by de novo protein synthesis. This would allow rapid and sustained OSM release to occur at inflammatory sites, and may contribute to the modulation of local inflammation.

Abstract
alpha1-Antitrypsin (alpha1-AT) plays a key role in lung homeostasis. Although the hepatocyte is considered as the primary source of alpha1-AT, we have previously demonstrated that rat alveolar epithelial type II cells as well as the human A549 cell line synthesize alpha1-AT, suggesting its local production within the lung. In the present study, we showed that oncostatin M, as opposed to interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), or IL-6, is a potent stimulator of alpha1-AT synthesis in the human A549 cell line. The oncostatin M-induced alpha1-AT secretion is modulated by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) at both the protein and mRNA levels. IFN-gamma decreases oncostatin M-induced alpha1-AT secretion. By contrast, TGF-beta in combination with oncostatin M induces a dramatic and synergistic upregulation that is not observed in the HepG2 hepatocyte cell line. Our results suggest that during an inflammatory process, alveolar epithelial cells may contribute to the antiprotease defense within the lung.

Abstract
Because interleukin 8 (IL-8) is a potent neutrophil chemotactic and activating cytokine, we investigated IL-8 production in relation to neutrophil migration and elastase release in the human lung during unilateral community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). In 17 patients, the local response in the involved lung was compared with that in the contralateral, noninvolved lung, and with the systemic response. Eight healthy volunteers served as controls. IL-8, total neutrophil elastase (NE), free elastase activity, alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1-AT), and total leukocyte and neutrophil counts were evaluated in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF). Mean IL-8 concentrations in BALF from the involved lungs of the patients were significantly greater than those in BALF from the noninvolved lung or from controls (p < or = 0.001). By contrast, the serum IL-8 concentration was not different in patients and in controls. Total NE and alpha 1-AT concentrations were increased in BALF from the involved lung as compared with the noninvolved lung or controls (p < or = 0.001). The elastase-inhibitory capacity of alpha 1-AT in BALF was impaired in the involved lung of seven of the 14 patients as compared with the controls, leading to free elastase activity in the involved lung of all patients with CAP. Plasma total NE concentrations were significantly greater in the CAP patients than in the controls. IL-8 concentrations in BALF correlated positively with total leukocyte counts, absolute numbers and percentages of neutrophils, total NE concentrations, and free elastase activity. Our results suggest that during unilateral CAP, locally produced IL-8 may trigger neutrophil accumulation and activation, thus contributing to a local elastase/antielastase imbalance within the site of infection.

Abstract
We investigated the mechanisms and consequences of neutrophil accumulation in the airspace in 11 patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and interstitial lung disease. Seven normal subjects served as controls. We measured total neutrophil elastase burden, elastase activity, and alpha-1-antitrypsin (alpha 1AT) in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and we evaluated the in vitro interleukin-8 (IL-8, a potent chemoattractant for neutrophils) secretion by alveolar macrophages (AM). A mild neutrophil alveolitis was observed in patients when compared with control subjects. Total BAL elastase burden was higher in patients than in control subjects and correlated positively with the percentage of neutrophils in BAL. BAL elastase activity was undetectable in control subjects, but it was detected in all patients but one (mean: 257 +/- 87 mU/L). Spontaneous IL-8 secretion by AM was higher in patients with SSc than in control subjects (518 +/- 115 versus 228 +/- 65 ng/ml, p = 0.04) and positively correlated with the percentage of neutrophils in BAL (r = 0.505). We conclude that (1) the neutrophil could participate in the pathogenesis of SSC lung disease through the release of elastase; (2) the AM could contribute to the influx of neutrophils in the alveolus through the release of IL-8.

Abstract
The in situ inflammatory response developing in the human lung during a localized bacterial infection was studied in 15 patients with unilateral community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The local response in the involved lung was compared with that in the contralateral, noninvolved lung as well as with the systemic blood response. Eight healthy volunteers served as control subjects. Concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured by ELISA in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids (n = 15), serum (n = 15), and alveolar macrophage and monocyte culture supernatants (n = 8). The concentrations of TNF-alpha, IL-beta and IL-6 in BAL fluid were significantly higher in the involved lung than in the paired noninvolved lung (p < or = 0.01) or in healthy subjects (p < or = 0.02, p < or = 0.01, and p < or = 0.001, respectively). Serum IL-6 concentrations were higher in patients than in control subjects, whereas IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha concentrations did not differ in the two groups. Alveolar macrophages from the involved lung spontaneously released higher concentrations of IL-1 beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha (p < or = 0.05) than did macrophages from the noninvolved lung, which served as controls. However, macrophages were hyporesponsive in terms of cytokine production to further stimulation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the noninvolved and involved lung compared with controls, whereas peripheral blood monocytes were not.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We have investigated the ability of alveolar epithelial cells (human A549 cell line and rat type-II pneumocytes) to produce alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT). Northern blot analysis demonstrated the presence of an AAT-specific mRNA transcript in A549 cells. Unstimulated A549 cells secreted immunoreactive AAT at a rate of 0.51 +/- 0.04 ng/10(6) cells/h, with a modified glycosylation compared to serum AAT. AAT formed a complex with neutrophil elastase. Rat type-II pneumocytes secreted immunoreactive AAT. Our results suggest that alveolar epithelial cells could participate in antiprotease defense within the lung through local AAT production.

Abstract
In order to detect, characterize and quantify blotted proteins, such as human alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT), there is a need for a specific, extremely sensitive, non-radioactive and uniform revelation system applicable to diluted biological fluids and to culture supernatants of cells isolated from such fluids. We compared two immunochemical revelation systems, enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) and colorimetric procedures, applied to human ATT, after determining their optimal conditions of performance. ECL was the most sensitive method (down to 50 pg blotted AAT), but could not be used to quantify AAT. In contrast, the colorimetric method enables quantification of blotted AAT, either simply dotted or transferred after SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, but is not as sensitive as ECL. Using these two complementary procedures, we have been able to detect AAT in the culture supernatant of a monocytic cell line (THP-1), to characterize the different forms of AAT present in the culture supernatant of blood monocytes and to quantify both.

Abstract
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and/or autoimmune diseases. We characterized the production of IL-6 by blood monocytes and alveolar macrophages (AM) in 11 patients with definite systemic sclerosis (SSc) with lung involvement and in eight normal control subjects. IL-6 levels were determined in serum, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) supernatants, monocytes, and AM cell culture supernatants using an ELISA kit. BAL cell analysis evidenced an alveolitis with hypercellularity and increased neutrophils and mast cells absolute counts. Serum and BAL IL-6 levels were low and similar in SSc and control groups. The monocytes of the group with SSc secreted more IL-6 than did the control group, both spontaneously (p = 0.01) and after LPS stimulation (p = 0.0007). Spontaneous secretion of IL-6 by AM tended to be higher in the SSc group than in the control group (p = 0.22). LPS-induced IL-6 secretion by AM was similar in both groups. Our study demonstrates that during SSc lung disease, spontaneous and stimulated IL-6 secretion by blood monocytes is increased, compared with secretion by healthy control subjects. By contrast, IL-6 secretion by AM is normal despite evidence of mild alveolitis.

Abstract
Although the physiological role of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), an acute-phase protein, is poorly understood, several lines of evidence support a modulatory action on the immune response. In this study, we investigated the effect of AGP on the production of interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha by human monocytes, macrophages and the monocytic THP-1 cell line. AGP significantly enhanced (2- to 7-fold) the production of these cytokines in monocytes induced by suboptimal concentrations of lipopolysaccharide [E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS): 100 ng/ml] in serum-free conditions, whereas it had little or no effect in the absence of LPS. The potentiating effect of AGP was inhibited by specific antibodies. It was concentration dependent and the greatest enhancement was observed with 250-500 micrograms/ml. Moreover, AGP only potentiated the effect of suboptimal concentrations of LPS. AGP did not alter the time course of LPS-induced IL-1 beta, IL-6 or TNF-alpha secretion. AGP acts as a co-inducer and could also potentiate cytokine secretion triggered by Neisseria meningitidis LPS and muramyl dipeptide. The glycan moiety of AGP did not seem to be involved in its potentiating effect, since both its major glycoforms and asialo-AGP potentiated the effect of LPS to the same extent as native AGP. Possible differences in the effect of AGP according to cell maturation were investigated using isolated human macrophages: AGP potentiated LPS-induced cytokine production by both peritoneal and alveolar macrophages. These data suggest that AGP can modulate monocyte/macrophage functions, thereby contributing to the amplification and regulation of immune and inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Several authors have documented signs of chronic inflammation in the pelvis of women with endometriosis. We investigated the possible involvement of interleukin 6 (IL6), an important regulator of inflammation and immunity, in minimal and mild endometriosis by measuring levels of IL6 and proteins (alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, alpha 1-antitrypsin, alpha 2-HS glycoprotein and albumin) the synthesis of which is regulated by IL6, in peritoneal fluid (PF) from infertile women with histologically confirmed endometriosis (stage I and II; n = 28) and from endometriosis-free fertile (n = 14) and infertile women (n = 13). Spontaneous and LPS-induced IL6 secretion by cultured PF macrophages from women with endometriosis (n = 12) and without endometriosis (n = 9) were also studied. No significant differences were observed in the concentrations of the four proteins studied. Immunoreactive IL6 was detected in all three groups, with no significant differences. In contrast, significantly higher levels of IL6 were released by both unstimulated (P = 0.01) and LPS-stimulated (P = 0.006) peritoneal macrophages from the women with endometriosis. We conclude that local IL6 synthesis by activated macrophages may play a role in the endometriosis process.
