Patients with primary NMIBC were monitored during 9 months after treatment: TURB and chemotherapy (No. 6). During TURB samples of tumors were taken, supernatants were obtained and tissue cytokine levels were measured (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-18, TNFα, IFNγ, IL-8) by ELISA test. The results showed that in patients with primary NMIBC early relapses were diagnosed in 15 (46.8%) of LG tumors and in 11 (45%) of HG tumors matching that there was no difference depending upon tumor grade. In initially recurrent tumors of both LG and HG NMIBC the amounts of cytokines were maximal: in LG tumors they exceeded the primary ones from 7.1 (IFNγ) to 300 (IL-6) while in HG - from 2.0 (IL-10) to 9.7 (IL-6). The amounts of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IFNγ, IL-8 were higher in those LG primary tumors which relapsed in 6-9 months compared to the ones which didn't, though their levels were much lower than in initially manifested relapse (from 2.6 times for IFNy to 150 times for IL-6). A similar trend, though not for all the same cytokines, was observed in HG tumors: tissue levels of IL-6, IL-10, IL-18 and TNFα were higher in tumors which relapsed in 6-9 months after treatment. The increase of 2 cytokines' levels were common for both LG and HG tumors (IL-6 and IL-10). This finding might be considered as a new prognostic factor of the early relapse. We conclude that relapse of LG and HG NMIBC is related to some immune mechanisms, namely to local hyperproduction of cytokines, especially IL-6 and IL-10, though IL-1β, IL-8, IFNγ could have an impact on LG and IL-18, TNFα — on HG tumors. Taking into account common signaling pathways of IL-6 and IL-10 like JAK/STAT, these transcription factors might be potential targets for new effective approaches to treatment.","PeriodicalId":37835,"journal":{"name":"Medical Immunology (Russia)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86130542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The immune system plays a key role in the pathogenesis of traumatic brain injury. Neuroinflammatory mediators released from resident glia (activated microglia and astrocytes) inside the brain recruit immune cells where cytokines are small soluble proteins that confer instructions and mediate communication among immune and non-immune cells. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a proinflammatory cytokine known to be elevated after trauma, and a major contributor to the inflammatory response following TBI. Previous studies have investigated associations between IL-6 and outcome following TBI, but to date, studies have been inconsistent in their conclusions. The purpose of the current study was to assessment of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) interleukin-6 (IL-6) and MBP levels in patients with TBI. Samples of cerebrospinal fluid of 85 patients with TBI were examined. Concentrations IL-6 were measured via xMAP multiplexing technology. The control was the course of CSF in patients with concussion. An increased content was found in all patients with traumatic brain injury: 19.59 pg/mL in the group with mild traumatic brain injury; 103.6 pg/mL in the group with moderate traumatic brain injury; and 2225 pg/mL in the group with severe traumatic brain injury load versus 2.58 pg/mL in the control group. A direct correlation was found with the presence of basic myelin proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid, which indicates the degree of damage and neurodegeneration processes. Identification of the features of IL-6 content in patients with brain injury may indicate its important role in the course of disease. It also requires additional more detailed study, including comparison with IL-6 content in peripheral blood.","PeriodicalId":37835,"journal":{"name":"Medical Immunology (Russia)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86942505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases leading to dementia. There is no effective treatments for this disease so far, as well as a consensus concerning the mechanisms of its pathogenesis initiation. Obtaining data on them in vivo is possible only by modeling neurodegeneration in laboratory animals. Among the various theories of the initiation of neurodegeneration, the impact of microglia is vigorously studied recently, as well as inflammaging, which is a term for chronic age-related low-grade systemic inflammation. It manifests in the increasing number of senescent cells with senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Eventually, it leads to manifestation and progression of age-related diseases, such as AD. The aim of the study was to evaluate age-related changes in microglia, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines expression levels in the brain, as well as ones of microglial activation, and also subpopulations of lymphocytes in peripheral blood. We used male Wistar rats of two age groups, which were composed of old (age 24 months) and adult (age 3 months) rodents, without any additional exposure. In the hippocampus, morphological changes in microglia were assessed on preparations stained with antibodies to Iba1. In the prefrontal cortex, RT-qPCR was used to study the level of expression of pro-inflammatory IL-6 and TNFa, anti-inflammatory IL-10 and TGF-b cytokines, as well as microglial activation markers iNOS and MMP-9. In the peripheral blood, the relative numbers of the main subpopulations of lymphocytes and monocyte were measured by flow cytometry. It was shown that, compared with adult rats, old animals are characterized by significant changes in the morphology of microglia, an increase in the level of expression of pro-inflammatory and a decrease in anti-inflammatory cytokines, and an increase in microglia activation markers. With aging, a decrease in the percentage of monocytes and B cells in peripheral blood was observed. These data indicate the development of inflammaging, which displays itself in microglia activation, a shift in the balance of cytokine production towards pro-inflammatory ones, and, as a result, activation of the migration of monocytes and B lymphocytes from the blood into tissues. Thus, it is justified to study the role of inflammation in the development of AD in old animals whose physiological state corresponds to that in humans.

Currently, endometriosis is recognized as one of the most common diseases associated with infertility. Thus, among fertile women with preserved childbearing function, the disease is generally diagnosed in approximately 6-7%, while among patients suffering from infertility, its frequency can reach 20-48%.However, the causes that determine reproductive dysfunction in patients with EGE are not well understood. Much attention is currently paid to the role of immunity in the formation of endometriosis. Patients with EGE show changes in both local immunity factors and immunological components of circulating blood.Purpose of the study: the study of factors of innate and adaptive immunity in patients of reproductive age with external genital endometriosis (EGE).The study included 71 patients with various stages of external genital endometriosis, the control group included 24 patients without endometriosis. Determination of the population composition of peripheral blood lymphocytes, the level of monocytes expressing TLR, activation markers, was carried out by laser flow cytometry — Immunotex (France), Caltag (USA), FITC (fluorescein isothiocynate) — labeled CD3, CD4, CD8, CD16, CD19, HLA-DR, CD282, CD284 and PE (phycoerythrin) - labeled with CD25, CD69, CD95, CD107a, CD14.External genital endometriosis is characterized by: at stages I-II of the disease - a violation of the early stages of the innate immune response (an increase in the number of monocytes expressing TLR-4, a violation of the activation and differentiation processes of immunocompetent cells, which is reflected in a decrease in the expression of CD16, CD8, CD16+HLA-DR+, CD16+CD107a+, CD8+CD107a+, at III-IV stages of the disease, there is a decrease in the level of CD16 and activation markers CD69, HLA-DR, CD107a on their surface, which is combined with a decrease in the expression of CD8, CD16, HLADR and CD107a on their surface. CD95+ and CD8+CD95+ were found at various stages of EGE.The results obtained allow us to understand the features of the functioning of innate and adaptive immunity at various stages of external genital endometriosis, and the studied immunological parameters can be used as diagnostic criteria for the formation of various stages of EGE. These data can serve as a theoretical basis for further identification of markers of EGE progression, as well as the mechanisms underlying immune inflammation.","PeriodicalId":37835,"journal":{"name":"Medical Immunology (Russia)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84628164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the study was to study the effect of an anthocyanin- enriched diet on cellular immunity in diet induced obesity in rats. The study was carried out on male Wistar rats with an initial body weight of 108±2 g. The animals were randomized by body weight into 3 groups (8 pcs. in group). For 12 weeks, rats of the 1st (control) group received a complete modified diet of AIN93M; rats of the 2nd group consumed a high-calorie choline-deficient diet (HCChDD), the fat content of which was 45%, fructose – 20% of the energy value of the diet; rats of the 3rd group received HCChDD with the addition of standardized blueberry and blackcurrant extract (30% anthocyanins) at an average daily dose of 11 mg anthocyanins/kg body weight. The expression of differentiation markers of peripheral blood lymphocytes was carried out by flow cytofluorimetry. As a result of the study, it was found that in rats of the 2nd group with alimentary obesity, the relative content in the peripheral blood of T helpers (CD3+CD4+) was increased (p < 0.05) (75.75±1.11% versus 70.07±0 49% – group 1, 72.14±0.91% – group 3) and reduced (p < 0.05) content of T cytotoxic lymphocytes (CD3+CD8+) (22.54±1.14% versus 28.09±0.72% – 1st group, 26.07±0.87% – 3rd group).

We examined nonspecific innate memory in macrophages of BALB/c mice in response to mycobacteria with or without the RD1 region in the genome. Mice were immunized with BCG vaccine, and peritoneal macrophages were isolated on day 7, and then stimulated with bacterial lipopolysaccharide, CFP-10, or ESAT-6. In addition, mice were immunized with Mycobacterium tuberculosis uro-BCG vaccine (RD1-) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv (RD1+) subcutaneously or intravenously; peritoneal macrophages were isolated and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide on day 4. Alveolar macrophages were obtained from lung explants of mice infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv mice, were expanded to confluence 70-80% and further stimulated with lipopolysaccharide. Lactate, cytokines, and glucose levels were examined in conditioned macrophage medium. Peritoneal macrophages from mice primed with BCG vaccine were shown to increase IL-1b, TNFa, and lactate production in response to CFP-6 and ESAT-10 (p < 0.05). Of note is the fact that lipopolysaccharide also increased production of IL-1b, TNFa, and also increased glucose uptake by peritoneal macrophages primed with BCG vaccine (p < 0.05). Peritoneal macrophages primed with Uro-BCG were shown to increase spontaneous production of IL-1b and decrease spontaneous production of TNFa (p < 0.05).

In response to lipopolysaccharide, peritoneal macrophages increased IL-1b, TNFa, IL-10 production and glucose consumption (p < 0.05). The mode of priming of macrophages with Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv also led to multidirectional levels of cytokine production. Alveolar macrophages were shown to retain trained immunity, as they produced elevated levels of IL-1b, TNFa, and IL-10 (p < 0.05). Thus, mouse macrophages formed a trained immunity phenotype in response to different types of mycobacteria, which persists for a long time after primary contact with the pathogen, particularly in alveolar macrophages.","PeriodicalId":37835,"journal":{"name":"Medical Immunology (Russia)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86186653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pathophysiology of psoriasis is also associated with a decrease in anti-inflammatory functions of immunosuppressive cells. Recently, there are more cases of development of resistance to ongoing therapy with biologics in children, requiring cancellation of drug or its replacement. The aim of the study was to evaluate the content of T helper subpopulations in prognosis of effectiveness of biologics in children with psoriasis. Immunophenotyping of T helper populations was performed in 110 children with psoriasis vulgaris before appointment of biologics, at 16 and 52 weeks. Age of children ranged from 6 to 18 years. Severity of psoriasis and effectiveness of therapy were assessed by index PASI, which varied 0-68. Content of Tregs, Thact and Th17 was determined by flow cytometry. In group with a sufficient effect of biologics, a decrease in PASI was obtained, both at week 16 of therapy (p = 0.000) and by year of treatment, p = 0.017. In children with psoriasis, regardless of duration and effectiveness of biologics, percentage of Thact was increased relative to normal values. In group 1 before prescription of biologics was increased percentage of Thact (p = 0.005) and Th17 (p = 0.001). Analysis of dynamics of content of small populations of T helper during 1 year of use of biologics in children with different efficacy of therapy showed that significant changes were found in content of Th17 and Treg, as well as their Th17/Treg. ROC analysis showed that when Th17 deviation was above 53%, Thact above 181% and Th17/Treg above 2.6 before biologics were prescribed, insufficient efficacy of therapy could be expected in 75% of cases by year.

Little studied representatives of this group are endomorphins, which due to their structure and properties, are capable of producing a strong antinociceptive effect after central administration, which means that, in the future, they can be considered as potential substitutes for low molecular weight opiates. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of endomorphins on the humoral immune response, the production of Th1/Th2/Th17 cytokines and apoptosis of CD4+, CD8+ lymphocytes in vivo. The splenocytes of Swiss white mice were used as the object of the study. The number of antibody-forming cells in the spleen was assessed using the method of local hemolysis in agarose gel according to Jerne. Quantitative determination of cytokines was carried out by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using kits (R&D, USA) according to the method proposed by the manufacturer. Apoptosis was assessed using Annexin V-FITC/7-AAD kit reagents (Beckman Coulter, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions by flow cytometry on a CytoFLEX S flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter, USA). In the course of the study, it was found that endomorphins enhance the antibody genesis of the spleen, and the preliminary blockade of opiate receptors with naloxone led to the cancellation of the stimulating effect of peptides. Endomorphins didn’t affect splenocyte production of IL-2, IL-4, and IFNg, however, the introduction of endomorphin-2 naloxone-independent enhanced the induced production of IL-17. Evaluation of the effect of endomorphins on apoptosis of splenocytes in 24-h cultures showed that endomorphin-2 in unstimulated cultures of naloxone-dependently increased the percentage of late apoptosis of CD8+ lymphocytes, however, in stimulated cultures, both endomorphins increased the apoptotic activity of CD8+ lymphocytes, regardless of the preliminary blockade of opioid receptors. In summary, we can say that in the in vivo system, endomorphins have a wide range of multidirectional immunomodulatory effects, which may be of interest for practical use in the future.","PeriodicalId":37835,"journal":{"name":"Medical Immunology (Russia)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80692907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the frequent complications after injury is arthrogenic muscle inhibition due to inhibition of the quadriceps muscle and the development of functional contracture. On the contrary, one of the indicators of high muscle activity is a sufficient level in the blood of functional muscle proteins – myokines, in particular interleukin-6, which are expressed and released by muscle fibers. The aim of the study was to study the level of interleukin-6 in men with damage to the anterior cruciate ligament in the dynamics of electromyostimulation of the quadriceps femoris. The study involved 23 men, mean age 34.8±2.2 years, with traumatic injury of the anterior cruciate ligament, who, 10 days before surgery, underwent electromyostimulation of the quadriceps femoris using the INTELECT® Advanced device (Chattanooga (DJO), USA). The control group consisted of 12 healthy men, mean age 32.2±2.4 years. The level of IL-6 was determined in the blood serum before electromyostimulation, and in dynamics using a kit for enzyme immunoassay (Vector-Best, Novosibirsk). The obtained data were processed using the Statistica licensed software package v. 10.0. The basal level of IL-6 in the main group was 1.28 (0.87-1.72) pg/mL, which is significantly lower than in healthy individuals 5.2 (3.8-6.1) pg/mL and is due to a low level of physical activity due to functional contracture of the quadriceps muscle. In the dynamics of electromyostimulation on the 5th day, the level of IL-6 significantly increased by 3.2 times from the basal level, on the 10th day by 4.6 times, while not exceeding that of the group of healthy individuals. With the reduction of myocytes, the concentration of myokine interleukin-6 increased in the cytoplasm of cells, which contributes to the accumulation of macroergs in the muscle cell, due to myokine-dependent activation of glycogenolysis. The reparative and anti-inflammatory properties of IL-6 are realized in stimulated striated muscles by the classical signaling mechanism that can block the activation of the universal intracellular transcription factor NF-κB in relation to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Thus, electromyostimulation before the start of surgical treatment leads to an increase in the concentration of myokine IL-6 in the blood, which contributes to an increase in the anti-inflammatory and reparative potential of damaged tissues.","PeriodicalId":37835,"journal":{"name":"Medical Immunology (Russia)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82022559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All children underwent immunological blood tests: cellular and humoral immunity, cytokines (TNFα, IFNα, IL-8, MCP-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF-A) were studied. For the prevention of postoperative complications of CKD in children, it is recommended to determine IFNα in the blood serum in the period before surgery to solve the indications for immunocorrection. A noticeable positive relationship was established between IFNα and CD8 – r = 0.34, between IFNα and CD23 – r = 0.38, between IFNα and IgA – r = 0.39, between IFNα and PCT – r = 0.36. At the same time, PCT has a noticeable negative relationship with CD16 – r = -0.31 and with CD8 – r = -0.31 against the background of a noticeable positive relationship with IgG – r = 0.32 and IFNα – r = 0.36. It was found that IFNα is a more informative indicator of the effectiveness of the immune response, and PCT is an indicator of the effectiveness of antibacterial therapy in surgical bowel diseases in children","PeriodicalId":37835,"journal":{"name":"Medical Immunology (Russia)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79666110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
