    Abstract Crohn's disease (CD) is an immune-mediated chronic intestinal disorder thought to be the result of an aggressive immune response to a subset of enteric bacteria in a genetically predisposed host. Numerous environmental factors are apparently involved in disease pathogenesis. Impaired ability of CD patients to control the gut microflora is associated with defects in the production of some antibacterial compounds (cryptdins) by epithelial cells. In addition, there are the defects in cytoplasmic NOD-like receptors which are sensing intracellularly localized bacteria in CD patients. These defects together with the failure to induce autophagy lead to lack of bacterial clearance and subsequently to mucosal immunopathology.

    Abstract Summary: CD200 and its receptor were recognized as having the multiple immunoregulatory functions. Their immunoregulatory, suppressive, and tolerogenic potentials could be very effectively exploited in the treatment of many diseases, e.g. Alzheimer disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and allergy to name only some. Many research projects are aimed to develop clinically valuable methods being based on the structure and function of these paired molecules. In this review, we would like to introduce CD200/CD200R functions in a clinical context.

    Abstract CD200/CD200R are highly conserved type I paired membrane glycoproteins that belong to the Ig superfamily containing a two immunoglobulin-like domain (V, C). CD200 is broadly distributed in a variety of cell types, whereas CD200R is primarily expressed in myeloid and lymphoid cells. They fulfill multiple functions in regulating inflammation. The interaction between CD200/CD200R results in activation of the intracellular inhibitory pathway with RasGAP recruitment and thus contributes to effector cell inhibition. It was confirmed that the CD200R activation stimulates the differentiation ofT cells to the Treg subset, upregulates indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase activity, modulates cytokine environment from a Thl to a Th2 pattern, and facilitates an antiinflammatory IL-10 and TGF-beta synthesis. CD200/CD200R are required for maintaining self-tolerance. Many studies have demonstrated the importance of CD200 in controlling autoimmunity, inflammation, the development and spread of cancer, hypersensitivity, and spontaneous fetal loss.

    Abstract Regulatory T cells (Treg) are a specialized subpopulation of T cells that act to suppress inadequate immune response. Psoriasis is recognized as a T-cell driven immune-mediated systemic inflammatory disease with skin manifestation. Effective therapeutical approach to treat psoriasis is Goeckerman therapy (GT). The aim of this study was to compare the number of Treg in the peripheral blood of 27 psoriatic patients and 19 controls and to evaluate the influence of GT on Treg population in peripheral blood of patients with psoriasis. There was no significant difference in the relative number of Treg cells in the peripheral blood of healthy blood donors and patients with psoriasis before initiation of GT (P = 0.2668). In contrary, the relative number of Treg cells in peripheral blood of patients with psoriasis after GT was significantly higher than those found in healthy blood donors (P = 0.0019). Moreover, the relative number of Treg is significantly increased in psoriatic patients after Goeckerman therapy compared to the pre-treatment level (P = 0.0042). In conclusion, this significant increase in Treg count after GT is probably associated with amelioration of inflammation by GT, as disease activity expressed as PASI decreased in our patients by GT (P = 0.0001).

    Abstract The aim was to analyze T-regulatory cells (Tregs), activated CD8(+) T cells, and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF)-β in hepatitis C patients. We enrolled 31 patients with chronic genotype 1 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, 30 seropositive persons with spontaneous HCV elimination, and 23 healthy volunteers. The patients were examined at the beginning of the interferon-alpha (IFN-α)-based therapy (baseline) and at weeks 4 (W4) and 12 (W12) of the therapy. The percentage of Tregs and the expression of activation markers CD38 and HLA-DR on CD8(+) T cells were analyzed in the peripheral blood by flow cytometry. Serum levels of TGF-β were measured in a multiplex assay using flow cytometry. The percentage of Tregs in patients was higher than in controls and seropositive persons. Similarly, the percentage of CD8(+) T cells expressing CD38 and HLA-DR was higher in patients compared with controls and seropositive persons. Chronic HCV infection is associated with elevated circulating Tregs and activated CD8(+) T cells. During IFN-α-based therapy these cells gradually increase, whereas TGF-β serum levels decrease.

    Abstract Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a specialized subpopulation of T cells that act to suppress immune response, thereby maintaining homeostasis and self-tolerance. It has been shown that Tregs are able to inhibit T cell proliferation and cytokine production and play a critical role in preventing autoimmunity. Different subsets with various functions of Treg cells exist. Tregs can be usually identified by flow cytometry. The most specific marker for these cells is FoxP3, which is localized intracellulary. Selected surface markers such as CD25high (high molecular density) and CD127low (low molecular density) could serve as surrogate markers to detect Tregs in a routine clinical practice. Dysregulation in Treg cell frequency or functions may lead to the development of autoimmune disease. Therapeutical Treg modulation is considered to be a promising therapeutical approach to treat some selected disorders, such as allergies, and to prevent allograft rejection.

    Abstract Background: Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 belongs to the large TLR receptor family comprised of at least 10 members with different roles in innate immunity. Psoriasis is recognized as a T-cell driven immune-mediated systemic inflammatory disease with a skin manifestation. An effective therapeutic approach to treat psoriasis is Goeckerman therapy (GT). The aim of this study was to assess both the kinetics of the expression of TLR2 on blood cells and the concentration of soluble (s)TLR2 in serum of patients with psoriasis and to examine the effect of GT on both TLR2 expression and sTLR2 level.
    Methods: Both membrane and sTLR2 were determined in 20 patients and 20 healthy controls. sTLR2 was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Flow cytometry method was used to determine the expression of membrane TLR2 of monocytes and granulocytes.
    Results: The serum level of sTLR2 was significantly lower (P < 0.0001) in patients both before and after GT compared to the control group. Compared to the membrane expression of TLR2 on monocytes of healthy blood donors, TLR2 expression was significantly higher in patients both before and after GT (P = 0.0001). Similarly, TLR2 expression on granulocytes was significantly higher in patients both before (P = 0.0061) and after (P < 0.0001) therapy than in control.
    Conclusions: Membrane and soluble TLR2 may be involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Both remained unchanged by GT.

    Abstract Crohn’s disease (CD) is an immune-mediated chronic intestinal disorder thought to be the result of an aggressive immune response to a subset of enteric bacteria in a genetically predisposed host. Numerous environmental factors are apparently involved in disease pathogenesis. Impaired ability of CD patients to control the gut microflora is associated with defects in the production of some antibacterial compounds (cryptdins) by epithelial cells. In addition, there are the defects in cytoplasmic NOD-like receptors which are sensing intracellularly localized bacteria in CD patients. These defects together with the failure to induce autophagy lead to lack of bacterial clearance and subsequently to mucosal immunopathology.

    Abstract Background: Malignant pleural effusions accumulate in the space between the visceral (inner) layer covering the lungs and the parietal (outer) layer covering the chest wall. Larger effusions compress the pulmonary parenchyma resulting in increasing dyspnoea. Treatment is always local and palliative. Among others, chemical pleurodesis using talc can be performed in selected patients. Talc is hydrated magnesium silicate (chemically H₂Mg₃(SiO₃)₄) and has been used for pleurodesis since 1935. Videothoracoscopic talc powder insufflation (talc poudrage) is the most effective.However, markers of inflammatory reactions to extraneous substances like talc are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to assess the course of local inflammatory changes in the pleural cavity after talc insufflation.
    Methods: The Department of Cardiac Surgery of the Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital in Hradec Kralove, treated 47 patients aged 65 on average; 29 males and 18 females with proven recurrent malignant pleural effusion of various aetiologies from January 2009 to December 2010. They were retrospectively divided into group A (40 patients) without recurring effusion, and group B (7 patients) with recurring effusion and the need for thoracentesis or chest drainage during the 9-month monitoring.
    Results: Major findings were made in soluble forms of cell receptors. Group B showed statistically higher levels of the anti-inflammatory form of sCD-163 receptor in pleural fluid before the talc poudrage. This showed limited ability to create an adequate inflammatory response to external stimuli. This group also showed lower levels of the inflammatory form of sTLR-2 receptor immediately after the talc insufflation. This revealed low local reactivity to external stimuli. The effect of the treatment was not influenced by morphologic tumour type. No statistically significant differences in postoperative complications were found. This confirmed the safety of both videothoracoscopy and treatment.
    Conclusions: There was no correlation between the type of malignant affection and the outcome of the chemical pleurodesis. Patients with relapsing effusion have higher values of concentration of anti-inflammatory sCD-163 in pleural fluid even before the application of talc, and lower levels of concentration of inflammatory sTLR-2 immediately after application of talc.
