Description
Vaccination induces immunostimulatory signals which are often accompanied by regulatory mechanisms such as IL-10, which control T-cell activation and inhibit vaccine-dependent antitumor therapeutic effect. Thus, here we characterized IL-10-producing cells treated with therapeutic vaccines. Although several cell subsets produced IL-10 irrespective of treatment, an early vaccine-dependent induction of IL-10 was detected in dendritic cells (DC). IL-10 production defined a DC population characterized by a poorly mature phenotype, lower expression of T-cell stimulating molecules and upregulation of PD-L1. These IL-10+ DC showed impaired in vitro T-cell stimulatory capacity, which was rescued by incubation with IL-10R and PD-L1-inhibiting antibodies.

Description
Microglia constitutes a diverse population of cells that present a broad spectrum of responses when they become activated. Here, microglial status was studied under steady-state conditions from different brain regions involved in neurodegenerative diseases. Under basal conditions, midbrain microglia showed an immune-alert state not observed in striatum. Unique subpopulations of microglia expressing TLR4 and MHC-II with antigen presenting properties, and a higher proportion of infiltrating CD4+ T cells were identified in the midbrain. These results highlight that the inflammatory tone is context-dependent and reveal the unique properties of the midbrain related to the interaction with the immune system. Overall design: Analysis of two cohorts of control animals

Description
Preeclampsia complicates more than 3% of all pregnancies in the United States and Europe. High-risk populations include women with diabetes, dyslipidemia, thrombotic disorders, hyperhomocysteinemia, hypertension, renal diseases, previous preeclampsia, twin pregnancies, and low socioeconomic status. In the latter case, the incidence may increase to 20% to 25%. Preeclampsia is a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Preeclampsia is defined by systolic blood pressure of more than 140 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure of more than 90 mm Hg after 20 weeks gestation in a previously normotensive patient, and new-onset proteinuria. Abnormal placentation associated with shallow trophoblast invasion (fetal cells from outer cell layer of the blastocyst) into endometrium (decidua) and improper spiral artery remodeling in the decidua are initial pathological steps.

Description
Tumor growth and metastasis is controlled by paracrine signaling between cells of the tumor microenvironment and malignant cells. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), are functionally important components of the tumor microenvironment. Although some steps involved in the cross-talk between these cells are known, there is still a lot that is not clear. Thus, the addition of, the consideration of microenvironment in the development of the disease, to the clinical and pathological procedures (currently admitted as the consistent value cancer treatments) could lay the foundations for the development of new treatment strategies to control the disease.

Description
Purpose: Evaluate gene expression profiles after inducing differentiation in cultured interstitial cystitis (IC) and control urothelial cells. Materials and Methods: Bladder biopsies were taken from IC patients and controls (women having surgery for stress incontinence). Primary cultures were grown in Keratinocyte Growth Medium with supplements. To induce differentiation, in some plates the medium was changed to DMEM-F12 with supplements. RNA was analyzed with Affymetrix chips. Three nonulcer IC patients were compared with three controls. Results: After inducing differentiation, 302 genes with a described function were altered at least 3-fold with p <0.01 in both IC and control cells. Functions of the162 upregulated genes included cell adhesion (e.g. claudins, occludin, cingulin); urothelial differentiation, retinoic acid pathway and keratinocyte differentiation (e.g. skin cornified envelope components). The 140 downregulated genes included genes associated with basal urothelium (e.g. p63, integrins ?4, ?5 and ?6, basonuclin 1 and extracellular matrix components), vimentin, metallothioneins and members of the Wnt and Notch pathways. Comparing IC vs. control cells after differentiation, only seven genes with a described function were altered at least 3-fold with p <0.01. PI3, SERPINB4, CYP2C8, EFEMP2 and SEPP1 were decreased in IC; AKR1C2 and MKNK1 were increased in IC. Conclusions: Differentiation-associated changes occurred in both IC and control cells. Comparing IC vs. control revealed very few differences. This study may have included IC patients with minimal urothelial deficiency and/or selected the cells that were most robust in culture. Also, the abnormal urothelium in IC may be due to post-translational changes and/or the bladder environment.

Description
The cell differentiation potential of 13-cis retinoic acid (RA) has not succeeded in the clinical treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) so far. However, RA may also induce the expression of disistance genes such as HOXB7 which can be suppressed by Thalidomide (THAL). Therefore, we tested if combined treatment with RA+THAL may inhibit growth of glioblastoma in vivo. Treatment with RA+THAL but not RA or THAL alone significantly inhibited tumour growth. The synergistic effect of RA and THAL was corroborated by the effect on proliferation of glioblastoma cell lines in vitro. HOXB7 was not upregulated but microarray analysis validated by real-time PCR identified four potential resistance genes (IL-8, HILDPA, IGFBPA, and ANGPTL4) whose upregulation by RA was suppressed by THAL. Furthermore, genes coding for small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNA) were identified as a target for RA for the first time, and their upregulation was maintained after combined treatment. Pathway analysis showed upregulation of the Ribosome pathway and downregulation of pathways associated with proliferation and inflammation. Combined treatment with RA + THAL delayed growth of GBM xenografts and suppressed putative resistance genes associated with hypoxia and angiogenesis. This encourages further pre-clinical and clinical studies of this drug combination in GBM.
