    Abstract The epithelial tissues have continuous contact with external environment, including pathogenic microorganisms. Endogenous antimicrobial proteins and peptides produced by epithelial cells play a key role in controlling microbial burden and composition, either directly, or by engaging immune cells. These include active derivatives of multifunctional protein chemerin, which is equipped with both antimicrobial and chemotactic function. Given an increasing number of infections caused by antibiotic-insensitive microorganisms, such as methicillin- resistant S. aureus (MRSA), it is important to fully understand how these epithelia-associated microorganisms are controlled at barrier sites, including skin and oral cavity. Chemerin-derived synthetic peptide 4 (p4) covering central Val66-Pro85 chemerin sequence exhibits broad range of antimicrobial activity against skin- and oral cavity- associated bacteria, including MRSA strains, suggesting its therapeutic potential for bacteria-mediated barrier organs pathologies. In this article we present the overview of protective functions of chemerin and chemerin-derived peptides in the epithelial tissues.

    Abstract Psoriasis, which involves mast cells, is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder whose pathophysiology is still not fully understood. We investigated the role of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), a potential inhibitor of mastocyte serine proteases, on mast cell-dependent processes of relevance to the skin barrier defense in psoriasis. Here, we demonstrate that the dermal mast cells of patients with psoriasis express SLPI but not those of healthy donors. Moreover, SLPI transcripts were found to be markedly upregulated in murine mast cells by mediators derived from psoriasis skin explant cultures. Using mast cells from SLPI-deficient mice and their SLPI

    Abstract The effects of HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy (ART) on the gut microbiome are poorly understood and the literature data are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to assess the alpha and beta diversity of the fecal microbiota in HIV-infected patients on successful antiretroviral therapy with regard to sexual preferences and CD4 nadir. Thirty-six HIV-infected ART-treated patients with HIV viremia below 20 copies/ml and CD4 > 500 cells/μl were divided into two subgroups based on CD4 nadir. The composition of the intestinal microbiota was assessed by 16SrRNA sequencing (MiSeq Illumina). The alpha and beta diversity were analyzed according to CD4 nadir count and sexual preference. Several alpha diversity indexes were significantly higher in the MSM group than in heterosexual patients. The alpha diversity did not differ significantly between patients with CD4 nadir > 500 cells/μl and CD4 nadir < 200 cells/μl. Beta diversity was also associated with sexual preference. A significant difference in Weighted Unifrac was observed between all MSM and all non-MSM participants (p = 0.001). The MSM group was more diverse and demonstrated greater distances in Weighted Unifrac than the non-MSM group. The relative abundance of the Prevotella enterotype was higher in the MSM than the non-MSM group. Sexual preferences demonstrated a stronger influence on alpha and beta diversity in HIV-infected patients following successful antiretroviral treatment than HIV infection itself. The observed lack of association between CD4 nadir and alpha and beta diversity may be caused by the restoration of the faecal microbiota following antiretroviral treatment.

    Abstract Background: Chemerin is a chemoattractant protein with adipokine and antimicrobial properties encoded by the retinoic acid receptor responder 2 (RARRES2) gene. Chemerin bioactivity largely depends on carboxyl-terminal proteolytic processing that generates chemerin isoforms with different chemotactic, regulatory, and antimicrobial potentials. While these mechanisms are relatively well known, the role of alternative splicing in generating isoform diversity remains obscure.
    Methods and results: Using rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) PCR, we determined RARRES2 transcript variants present in mouse and human tissues and identified novel transcript variant 4 of mouse Rarres2 encoding mChem153K. Moreover, analyses of real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and publicly-available next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) datasets showed that different alternatively spliced variants of mouse Rarres2 are present in mouse tissues and their expression patterns were unaffected by inflammatory and infectious stimuli except brown adipose tissue. However, only one transcript variant of human RARRES2 was present in liver and adipose tissue.
    Conclusion: Our findings indicate a limited role for alternative splicing in generating chemerin isoform diversity under all tested conditions.
