    Abstract A wealth of scientific evidence supports a role for vitamin D in decreasing colorectal cancer incidence, and possibly mortality. This reduction in risk is related to inhibition of cellular proliferation and stimulation of differentiation. The minimal amount and duration needed to bring about these effects necessitate additional studies. Furthermore, a critical evaluation of physiologically relevant biomarkers of vitamin D status, including 25-hydroxyvitamin D, is needed. Several dietary components and the balance between energy intake and expenditure influence vitamin D metabolism. Scientists need to identify confounders and modifiers of the biological response to vitamin D, including dietary factors, lifestyle factors such as exercise, race or ethnicity, and genetic background.

    Abstract Although there is growing epidemiological, preclinical and clinical evidence suggesting that low vitamin D intake, exposure and/or status is associated with an increased risk of various types of cancer, the optimum amount needed remains controversial. Furthermore, there is evidence that a U- or J-shaped response curve exist between 25(OH)D and certain cancers. Increasing information about the impact of genetic variation, especially polymorphisms that influence absorption, transport, metabolism and associated molecular targets, should help clarify inconsistencies in the data regarding vitamin D's effect on cancer risk. Rather than focusing on the main effects of a few variants of these genes alone, future studies need to consider gene-nutrient or environmental interactions. Nutrigenomics should clarify who might benefit and be placed at risk because of vitamin D exposure.

    Abstract Background: IL-5(+) pathogenic effector T(H)2 (peT(H)2) cells are a T(H)2 cell subpopulation with enhanced proinflammatory function that has largely been characterized in murine models of allergic inflammation.
    Objective: We sought to identify phenotype markers for human peT(H)2 cells and characterize their function in patients with allergic eosinophilic inflammatory diseases.
    Methods: Patients with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease (EGID), patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), and nonatopic healthy control (NA) subjects were enrolled. peT(H)2 and conventional T(H)2 (cT(H)2) cell phenotype, function, and cytokine production were analyzed by using flow cytometry. Confirmatory gene expression was measured by using quantitative RT-PCR. Prostaglandin D2 levels were measured with ELISA. Gut T(H)2 cells were obtained by means of esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
    Results: peT(H)2 cells were identified as chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on T(H)2 cells-positive (CRTH2(+)), hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase-positive CD161(hi) CD4 T cells. peT(H)2 cells expressed significantly greater IL-5 and IL-13 than did hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase-negative and CD161(-) cT(H)2 cells. peT(H)2 cells were highly correlated with blood eosinophilia (r = 0.78-0.98) and were present in 30- to 40-fold greater numbers in subjects with EGID and those with AD versus NA subjects. Relative to cT(H)2 cells, peT(H)2 cells preferentially expressed receptors for thymic stromal lymphopoietin, IL-25, and IL-33 and demonstrated greater responsiveness to these innate pro-TH2 cytokines. peT(H)2 but not cT(H)2 cells produced prostaglandin D2. In patients with EGID and those with AD, peT(H)2 cells expressed gut- and skin-homing receptors, respectively. There were significantly greater numbers of peT(H)2 cells in gut tissue from patients with EGID versus NA subjects.
    Conclusion: peT(H)2 cells are the primary functional proinflammatory human T(H)2 cell subpopulation underlying allergic eosinophilic inflammation. The unambiguous phenotypic identification of human peT(H)2 cells provides a powerful tool to track these cells in future pathogenesis studies and clinical trials.

    Abstract The case for the influence of vitamin D on health, including cancer prevention, is increasingly compelling. While some are calling for increases in the Tolerable Upper Intake Level, fortification, and dietary supplementation, questions regarding dose and individual response variability continue to merit attention. Colorectal cancer risk reduction with adequate vitamin D status is well documented. Protection has also been observed for cancer at all sites, skin, prostate, and breast. At the same time, some individuals may be adversely affected by elevated 25(OH)D concentrations with respect to risk of cancers of the prostate, breast, pancreas, and esophagus, and in some cases a U- or J-shaped association has been suggested. Future research should seek to clarify if and for whom there may be an increased risk for cancer at particular sites with high 25(OH)D concentrations, and the concentrations at which risk increases. Fundamentally, prospective longitudinal studies of these relationships are warranted. The health status, life stage, adiposity, estrogen exposure, and nutritional status of study participants should be taken into account. Continued investigation is necessary to ensure that vitamin D recommendations are appropriately targeted to individuals who stand to benefit most, while protecting vulnerable subgroups from risk of overexposure.

    Abstract Objective: To identify the effect of alterations in physical parameters such as oxygen and pH on processes associated with cellular redox balance in osteoarthritic chondrocytes.
    Method: Human osteoarthritic chondrocytes (HOAC) were isolated from total knee arthroplasty samples and cultured in 3-D alginate beads in four different oxygen tensions (<1%, 2%, 5% and 21% O2), at pH 7.2 and 6.2 and in the presence or absence of 10 ng/ml, interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Cell viability, media glycosaminoglycan (GAG) levels, media nitrate/nitrate levels, active matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 and intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATPi) were measured over a 96-h time course. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential, intracellular pH and reduced/oxidised glutathione (GSH/GSSG) were additionally measured after 48-h incubation under these experimental conditions.
    Results: Hypoxia (2% O2) and anoxia (<1% O2), acidosis (pH 6.2) and 10 ng/ml IL-1β reduced HOAC cell viability and increased GAG media levels. Acidosis and IL-1β increased nitrite/nitrate release, but increases were moderate at 2% O2 and significantly reduced at <1% O2. ATPi was significantly reduced following hypoxia and anoxia and acidosis. At 48 h cellular ROS levels were increased by acidosis and IL-1β but reduced in hypoxia and anoxia. Mitochondrial membrane potential was reduced in low oxygen, acidosis and IL-1β. Anoxia also resulted in intracellular acidosis. GSH/GSSG ratio was reduced in low oxygen conditions, acidosis and IL-1β.
    Conclusions: This study shows that oxygen and pH affect elements of the redox system in HOAC including cellular anti-oxidants, mitochondrial membrane potential and ROS levels.

    Abstract A recently published study of grasping in patient D.F. challenges the well-known dissociation between vision-for-perception and vision-for-action, suggesting instead that D.F.'s preserved grip scaling depends entirely on haptic feedback. We argue that the results of the study are in fact fully consistent with the perception-action account.

    Abstract Malignant melanoma is one of the most dangerous skin cancer originating from melanocytes. Thus, an early and proper melanoma diagnosis influences significantly the therapy efficiency. The melanoma recognition is still difficult, and generally, relies on subjective assessments. In particular, there is a lack of quantitative methods used in melanoma diagnosis and in the monitoring of tumour progression. One such method can be the atomic force microscopy (AFM) working in the force spectroscopy mode combined with quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), both applied to quantify the molecular interactions. In our study we have compared the recognition of mannose type glycans in melanocytes (HEMa-LP) and melanoma cells originating from the radial growth phase (WM35) and from lung metastasis (A375-P). The glycosylation level on their surfaces was probed using lectin concanavalin A (Con A) from Canavalia ensiformis. The interactions of Con A with surface glycans were quantified with both AFM and QCM techniques that revealed the presence of various glycan structural groups in a cell-dependent manner. The Con A - mannose (or glucose) type glycans present on WM35 cell surface are rather short and less ramified while in A375-P cells, Con A binds to long, branched mannose and glucose types of oligosaccharides.
