AB  - Background/Aim. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to suppress immune and inflammatory reactions. However, it is not known whether MSCs from inflammatory tissues, such as periapical lesions (PLs) have similar effects. This question was addressed in this study in which the aim was to examine the capacity of PL-MSCs for modulating cytokine production by local immune cells. Methods. PL-MSCs were isolated from asymptomatic (as) and symptomatic (sy) PLs. Their phenotype was analyzed by flow cytometry by detecting MSC surface markers. Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of PL-MSCs were examined by measuring cytokine production in direct co-culture experiments with mononuclear cells (MNCs) isolated from asPLs and syPLs, respectively. The levels of cytokines in supernatants were determined by specific ELISA kits. Results. Both PL-MSCs lines were characterized by typical MSC phenotype, with the predominance of CD29, CD44, CD90, CD105 and CD166. However, the lines, independently of their similar phenotype had the same modulatory effect on cytokine production, but the response of asPL-MNCs and syPL-MNCs was different, in spite of similar composition of these MNCs. Both MSC lines inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor-0 (TNF-0). However, IL-8 was only down-regulated in the co-culture of these MSC lines with syPL-MNCs. The PL-MSCs also modulated the production of immunoregulatory cytokines. Transforming growth factor-0 (TGF-0) was up-regulated by both as- and syPL-MNCs but IL-10 was up-regulated only by asPL-MNCs. Conclusion. Our results showed that PL-MSCs contribute to the restriction of local inflammatory and immune responses, but this effect is probably less efficient during the exacerbation of PL inflammation.

AB  - Background aims. Because of the labor-intensive and time-consuming conventional protocols for the generation of dendritic cells (DCs) as the most promising tools for anti-cancer therapy that enable the induction of a T-helper (Th)1-mediated anti-tumor immune response, the use of short-term protocols has been proposed. However, data on the applicability of such protocols in cancer immunotherapy are quite limited. Methods. We compared the phenotypic and functional capability of fast DCs (fDCs) differentiated for 24 h and then matured for 48 h with Poly (I:C), a strong Th1-promoting agent, with donor-matched conventional DCs (cDCs) differentiated for 5 days and matured likewise. Results. Of 12 donors tested, we identified seven whose monocytes failed to develop into immunogenic DCs through the use of fDC protocol, on the basis of incomplete downregulation of CD 14, low expression of CD la and macrophage-like morphology. Such fDCs have significantly lower expression of CD83, CD86, CCR7 and CD40, weaker allo-stimulatory Th1- and Th17-polarizing capacity caused by poor production of interleukin (IL)-12p70 and IL-23 and high production of IL-10, and prominent Th2-polarizing capacity, compared with donor-matched cDCs. Furthermore, such fDCs had tolerogenic properties as judged by higher expression of indolamine dioxigenase-3, IDO-1 and IL-1 beta and induction of a higher percentage of CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) T cells. These findings correlated with increased transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta production by fDC-primed CD3(+)T cells and their stronger antiproliferative capacity. Conclusions. We emphasize that although fDCs could probably be applied as an alternative to cDCs for cancer therapy, the fDC protocol should not be applied to donors whose DCs acquire tolerogenic capabilities.

AB  - Immunoregulatory mechanisms within periapical lesions (PLs) are as of yet unexplored. Considering the crucial role of DCs in controlling the immune response within PLs, the immunomodulatory properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and the colocalization of MSCs and DCs in situ, we wondered whether MSCs from PLs modulate the development and functions of DCs. Using a model of monocyte-derived DCs, we showed that PL-MSCs inhibited differentiation of DCs via soluble factors, of which IL-6 had a minor effect, but did not impair their subsequent maturation induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, upon maturation such DCs favored the production of Th2/Th17 cytokines by allogenic CD4(+) lymphocytes in coculture, compared with mature DCs differentiated without PL-MSCs. PL-MSC-differentiated DCs, cultivated with pro-inflammatory cytokines and PL-MSCs, although phenotypically mature, exhibited poor allostimulatory activity, induced anergy, Th2 polarization, differentiation of suppressive CD4(+)CD25(high)CD39(+) Treg-cell subsets via IDO-1-, ILT-3-, and ILT-4-dependent mechanisms, and increased production of TGF- in the coculture. In contrast, DCs cultivated with PL-MSCs only during maturation stimulated proliferation and Th1 polarization of CD4(+) T cells in an IL-12-independent manner. In conclusion, PL-MSCs significantly modulate the development and functions of DCs, depending on the phase of DCs development during which the interaction occurs.

AB  - We prepared 5 different fractions of nanoparticles from the gold scrap, by using a new technology, Ultrasonic Spray Pirolysis (USP). The aim of this study was to characterize the microstructure and cytotoxicity of the nanoparticles along with their immunomodulatory properties, using Concanavaline A (ConA)-treated rat splenocytes as a model of activated immune cells. Fractions 1 and 2, composed of pure gold nanoparticles, although non-cytotoxic, reduced cellular proliferation. Fraction 2, containing particles smaller in size and lesser agglomerated than fraction 1, up- and down-regulated the production of IL-2 and IL-10, respectively, by activated splenocytes. Fraction 3, containing nanoparticles composed of Au and up to 3 at.% Cu, was non-cytotoxic, but reduced IL-2 production and cell proliferation. Fractions 4 and 5, contaminated with alloying elements from the gold scrap, were cytotoxic. The extent of cytotoxicity and subsequent reduction of cytokine production, as well as the mode of cell death, depended on their composition. In conclusion, we showed that USP enables the synthesis of gold nanoparticles, which could be suitable for various biological applications, and that ConA-treated splenocytes represent a reliable model for fast and accurate evaluation of the immunotoxicological profiles of these particles. However, it is necessary to improve this technology and investigate further some of the immunomodulatory mechanisms using more specific immunological tests.

AB  - P gt Langerhans' cells (LCs) represent a specific subset of dendritic cells (DCs) which are important for detecting and processing pathogens that penetrate the skin and epithelial barriers. The aim of our study was to explain what makes their in vitro counterparts - monocyte-derived Langerhans'-like cells (MoLCs) - unique compared with monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs). Immature MoDCs were generated by incubating peripheral blood monocytes with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin (IL)-4. The addition of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) to this cytokine cocktail resulted in the generation of MoLCs. MoLCs showed a lower expression of CD83, CD86, HLA-DR and CCR7 compared with MoDCs, regardless of their maturational status. Both immature and mature MoLCs secreted higher quantities of IL-23 compared with MoDCs and this finding correlated with a higher secretion of IL-17 in co-culture of MoLCs with allogeneic CD4(+) T cells. Mature MoLCs, which produced higher levels of IL-12 and lower levels of IL-10 compared with mature MoDCs, were more potent at inducing interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production by CD4(+) T cells in the co-culture system. In conclusion, the finding that mature MoLCs stimulate stronger T-helper 1 and T-helper 17 immune responses than mature MoDCs, makes them better candidates for use in the preparation of anti-tumour DC vaccines.

AB  - Different pharmacologically active components have been isolated from royal jelly. Some of them possess imunomodulatory activity, but the mechanisms of their effect on the immune system have not been elucidated yet. In this study we tested the effect of 3,10-dihydroxy-decanoic acid (3,10-DDA), a fatty acid isolated from royal jelly, on maturation and functions of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs). We showed that 3,10-DDA stimulated maturation of MoDCs by up-regulating the expression of CD40, CD54, CD86 and CD1a, and increased their allostimulatory potential in co-culture with allogeneic CD4(+)T cells. 3,10-DDA-treated MoDCs enhanced the production of IL-12 and IL-18, and stimulated the production of interferon-gamma in co-culture with allogeneic CD4(+)T cells, compared to control MoDCs. In contrast, the production of IL-10 was down-regulated. In conclusion, our results suggest that 3,10-DDA stimulates maturation and Th1 polarising capability of human MoDCs in vitro, which could be beneficial for anti-tumour and anti-viral immune responses.

AB  - Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have recently become a potent tool in regenerative medicine. Due to certain shortcomings of obtaining bone marrow MSCs, alternate sources of MSCs have been sought. In this work, we studied MSCs from dental pulp (DP-MSCs) and dental follicle (DF-MSCs), isolated from the same tooth/donor, to define differences in their phenotypic properties, differentiation potential, and immunomodulatory activities. Both cell types showed colony-forming ability and expressed typical MSCs markers, but differed in the levels of their expression. DF-MSCs proliferated faster, contained cells larger in diameter, exhibited a higher potential to form adipocytes and a lower potential to form chondrocytes and osteoblasts, compared with DP-MSCs. In contrast to DF-MSCs, DP-MSCs produced the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta and suppressed proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, which could be neutralized with anti-TGF-beta antibody. The treatment with toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) agonist augmented the suppressive potential of both cell types and potentiated TGF-beta and interleukin-6 secretions by these cells. TLR4 agonist augmented the suppressive potential of DF-MSCs and increased TGF-beta production, but abrogated the immunosuppressive activity of DP-MSCs by inhibiting TGF-beta production and the expression of indolamine-2,3-dioxygenase-1. Some of these effects correlated with the higher expression of TLR3 and TLR4 by DP-MSCs compared with DF-MSCs. When transplanted in imunocompetent xenogenic host, both cell types induced formation of granulomatous tissue. In conclusion, our results suggest that dental MSCs are functionally different and each of these functions should be further explored in vivo before their specific biomedical applications.
