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":"28 1","pages":""},"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.

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.

The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of post-viral chronic fatigue syndrome and cognitive impairment (aMCI) among patients with atypical, chronic active herpesvirus infections (ACA-HVI).Under our supervision were 126 patients of both sexes aged 18 to 60 years with ACA-HVI.It was established that mono-EBV infection affects 27.7%; mixed EBV infection is observed in 72.3% of patients. When assessing cognitive functioning using CGI, MMSE scales, the incidence of aMCI was found to be 68.3%: with mixed HVI — 87.4%, with mono HVI — 38.8%. During the study, significant limitations were identified in the use of standard scales due to the impossibility of conducting a comprehensive assessment of clinical status parameters and cognitive dysfunctions, as well as correlation of these parameters and assessment of dynamics of the immunocorrection. To achieve this goal the Scale of assessment of the criterion clinical symptoms of patients with ACA-HVI with CFS was used. It was shown that in mixed-HVI, the severity of symptoms exceeded the severity of symptoms of patients with mono-HVI and was 52.7 (43.1-62.2) and 38.0 (31.9-42.8) points, respectively (p > 0.05). Thus, it was found that patients suffering from mixed HVI have more pronounced, severe manifestations of CFS and aMCI, which are 1.5 times higher than similar manifestations in patients with mono-HVI, significantly reducing the quality of life of these patients, worsening their social adaptation.Prolonged persistence of herpes viruses in immune-compromised people creates conditions for constant antigenic stimulation and immune imbalance with the onset of secondary immunodeficiency or clinical manifestation of existing primary disorders in the immune system, which creates the prerequisites for the development of neuro-immuno-inflammatory changes in nervous system, followed by the formation of clinical manifestations of ME/CFS with different cognitive impairments that may be classified as aMCI.","PeriodicalId":37835,"journal":{"name":"Medical Immunology (Russia)","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73878002","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}

They can be a source of cytokines, anti- apoptotic and growth stimulating factors. In addition, MVs carry out transport of mRNA, miRNA, and signal proteins into damaged tissues. This increases the ability of cells to regenerate and to inhibit apoptosis, promote to angiogenesis and stimulate cell proliferation. The aim of our research was to study the immunoregulatory and pro-regenerative properties of mesenchymal stem cell microvesicles (MSC-MV) in a model of glycerol- induced acute renal failure (ARF) in mice. The experiments were carried out on CBA mice aged 3-4 months. AKI was induced by a single intramuscular injection of 50% glycerol. MSCs were obtained from the bone marrow of healthy animals and cultivated under standard conditions. Microvesicles were obtained by centrifugation at 12000g of MSC supernatant after induction of their apoptosis by culturing under oxygen deprivation conditions and in serum-free medium. MSC-MV was injected intravenously into the retroorbital sinus one day after induction of ARF. The MV dose was calculated as equivalent to (derived from) 1 million MSCs, which was 100 mL per mouse. Animals were taken out of the experiment on days 4 and 11 after MSC-MV injection. Blood plasma was taken to determine the level of creatinine, urine – for albumin analysis, kidneys – for histological examination. It has been shown that MVs induced by MSCs dose-dependently stimulated splenocyte proliferation in both spontaneous and Con-A induced tests. The addition of MV caused a decrease in doxorubicin-induced apoptosis of splenic lymphocytes in mice. Probably, in this case, MV produced by MSCs had an immunostimulatory and antiapoptotic effect. Also, MVs had a positive impact on the restoration of structure and function kidneys in a model of ARF in mice. The use of MSC-MV in treatment of acute renal failure induced by a single injection of 50% glycerol contributed to decrease albumin level urine and restoration of creatinine level in blood serum of animals. Morphological studies have shown decrease in the height cell and collecting duct diameter in the medulla and a decrease in the largest transverse diameter of superficial glomeruli in the renal cortex of sick mice. Thus, the obtained results indicate significant therapeutic and pro-regenerative properties of MSC-MV, which require further study.","PeriodicalId":37835,"journal":{"name":"Medical Immunology (Russia)","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77076946","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}

Today, there is growing interest in research on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TLR genes and its influence on susceptibility to inflammatory disease, including atopic dermatitis. The aim of the research was to study the association of the rs5743708 gene polymorphism in the TLR2 gene, the rs4986791 gene polymorphism in the TLR4 gene and the rs352140 gene polymorphism in the TLR9 gene with the risk of developing severe cases of AD.

All participants were divided into 2 groups according to the SCORAD index (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis). The control group included 72 volunteers over 18 years old. The results of our study showed a statistically significant difference between the moderate AD group and healthy controls in the rs352140 gene polymorphism in the TLR9 gene (Figure 1).

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":"58 1","pages":""},"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}
