    Abstract Energy and resources saving is of significance to sustainable development. In the past decades, heat integrated water allocation networks (HIWANs) have been applied to generate effective strategies for water and energy management in chemical process industries, where large amounts of water and energy are consumed. In this paper, a graphical approach for the synthesis of heat exchanger networks (HENs) in HIWANs has been proposed to reveal the new insights into TH/H–F diagrams and fully exploit the HEN structure possibilities. Current conceptual design methods for HENs in HIWANs by the original separate systems (TH diagram) and the matching composite curve (H–F diagram) only generate two special kinds of HEN structures: series and parallel structures. A transformation method is proposed to generate HENs with different structures based on these two tools. Both simplex series or parallel structures and hybrid structures can be obtained via the transformation procedures. Two examples are illustrated to demonstrate the operability of the proposed procedures.

    Abstract Therapeutic cancer vaccines based on the abnormal glycans expressed on cancer cells, such as the globo H antigen, have witnessed great progress in recent years. For example, the keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) conjugate of globo H has been on clinical trials as a cancer vaccine. However, such vaccines have intrinsic problems, such as inconsistence in eliciting T cell-mediated immunity in cancer patients and difficult quality control. To address the issue, a structurally defined fully synthetic glycoconjugate vaccine composed of globo H and monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) was developed. The new vaccine was shown to elicit robust IgG1 antibody responses and T cell-dependent immunity, which is desired for anticancer vaccine, and induce significantly faster and stronger immune responses than the globo H-KLH conjugate. Moreover, it was self-adjuvanting, namely, inducing immune responses without the use of an external adjuvant, thus MPLA was not only a vaccine carrier but also a build-in adjuvant. It was also found that antibodies induced by the new vaccine could selectively bind to and mediate strong complement-dependent cytotoxicity to globo H-expressing MCF-7 cancer cell. All of the results have demonstrated that the globo H-MPLA conjugate is a better cancer vaccine than the globo H-KLH conjugate under experimental conditions and is worth further investigation and development.

    Abstract The interleukin-15 (IL-15) system is important for regulating both innate and adaptive immune responses, however, its role in autoimmune disease remained unclear. Here we found that Il15(-/-) and Il15ra(-/-) mice spontaneously developed late-onset autoimmune phenotypes. CD4(+) T cells of the knockout mice showed elevated autoreactivity as demonstrated by the induction of lymphocyte infiltration in the lacrimal and salivary glands when transferred into nude mice. The antigen-presenting cells in the thymic medullary regions expressed IL-15 and IL-15Rα, whose deficiency resulted in insufficient negative selection and elevated number of natural IL-17A-producing CD4(+) thymocytes. These findings reveal previously unknown functions of the IL-15 system in thymocyte development, and thus a new layer of regulation in T cell-mediated autoimmunity.

    Abstract Progesterone is an endogenous immunomodulator that is able to suppress T cell activation during pregnancy. An increased intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), acidification, and an inhibition of Na(+)/H(+)-exchange 1 (NHE1) are associated with this progesterone rapid non-genomic response that involves plasma membrane sites. Such acidification, when induced by phytohemagglutinin, is calcium dependent in PKC down-regulated T cells. We investigated the relationship between this rapid response involving the [Ca(2+)](i) increase and various membrane progesterone receptors (mPRs). In addition, we explored whether the induction of acidification in T cells by progesterone is a direct result of the [Ca(2+)](i) increase. The results show that the intracellular calcium elevation caused by progesterone is inhibited by SKF96365, U73122, and 2-APB, but not by pertussis toxin or U73343. The elevation is enhanced by the protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor staurosporine and the protein kinase C inhibitors Ro318220 and Go6983. These findings suggest that progesterone does not stimulate the [Ca(2+)](i) increase via the Gi coupled mPR(α). Furthermore, progesterone-induced acidification was found to be dependent on Ca(2+) entry and blocked by the inorganic channel blocker, Ni(2+). However, BAPTA, an intracellular calcium chelator, was found to prevent progesterone-induced acidification but not the inhibition of NHE1. This implies that acidification by progesterone is a direct result of the [Ca(2+)](i) increase and does not directly involve NHE1. Taken together, further investigations are needed to explore whether one or more mPRs or PGRMC1 are involved in bringing about the T cell rapid response that results in the [Ca(2+)](i) increase and inhibition of NHE1.

    Abstract Progesterone is an endogenous immunomodulator and can suppress T-cell activation during pregnancy. We have previously shown that the non-genomic effects of progesterone, especially acidification, are exerted via plasma membrane sites and suppress cellular genomic responses to mitogens. This study aimed to show that acidification is due to a non-genomic inhibition of Na(+)/H(+)-exchange 1 (NHE1) by progesterone and correlate this with immunosuppressive phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced T-cell proliferation. The presence of amiloride-sensitive NHE 1 was identified in T cells. The activity of NHE1 was inhibited by progesterone but not by 20alpha-hydroxyprogesterone (20alpha-OHP). Furthermore, 20alpha-OHP was able to compete with progesterone and release the inhibitory effect on the NHE1. The inhibition of NHE1 activity by progesterone-BSA demonstrated non-genomic action via plasma membrane sites. Finally, co-stimulation with PHA and progesterone or amiloride, (5-(N, N-dimethyl)-amiloride, DMA), inhibited PHA-induced T-cell proliferation, but this inhibition did not occur with 20alpha-OHP and PHA co-stimulation. However, when DMA was applied 72 h after PHA stimulation, it was able to suppress PHA-induced T-cell proliferation. This is the first study to show that progesterone causes a rapid non-genomic inhibition of plasma membrane NHE1 activity in T cells within minutes which is released by 20alpha-OHP. The inhibition of NHE1 leads to immunosuppressive T-cell proliferation and suggests that progesterone might exert a major rapid non-genomic suppressive effect on NHE1 activity at the maternal-fetal interface in vivo and that 20alpha-OHP may possibly be able to quickly release the suppression when T cells circulated away from the interface.

    Abstract Progesterone is an endogenous immunomodulator that is able to suppress T cell activation during pregnancy. An increased intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca²⁺]ᵢ), acidification, and an inhibition of Na⁺/H⁺-exchange 1 (NHE1) are associated with this progesterone rapid non-genomic response that involves plasma membrane sites. Such acidification, when induced by phytohemagglutinin, is calcium dependent in PKC down-regulated T cells. We investigated the relationship between this rapid response involving the [Ca²⁺]ᵢ increase and various membrane progesterone receptors (mPRs). In addition, we explored whether the induction of acidification in T cells by progesterone is a direct result of the [Ca²⁺]ᵢ increase. The results show that the intracellular calcium elevation caused by progesterone is inhibited by SKF96365, U73122, and 2-APB, but not by pertussis toxin or U73343. The elevation is enhanced by the protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor staurosporine and the protein kinase C inhibitors Ro318220 and Go6983. These findings suggest that progesterone does not stimulate the [Ca²⁺]ᵢ increase via the Gi coupled mPRα. Furthermore, progesterone-induced acidification was found to be dependent on Ca²⁺ entry and blocked by the inorganic channel blocker, Ni²⁺. However, BAPTA, an intracellular calcium chelator, was found to prevent progesterone-induced acidification but not the inhibition of NHE1. This implies that acidification by progesterone is a direct result of the [Ca²⁺]ᵢ increase and does not directly involve NHE1. Taken together, further investigations are needed to explore whether one or more mPRs or PGRMC1 are involved in bringing about the T cell rapid response that results in the [Ca²⁺]ᵢ increase and inhibition of NHE1.
