    Abstract Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis represent two of the most common inflammatory skin diseases in developed countries. A hallmark of both diseases is T-cell infiltration into the skin. However, it is still not clarified to what extent these infiltrating T cells are antigen-specific skin-homing T cells or unspecific heterogeneous bystander cells.
    Methods: To elucidate this, T cells from lesional skin and from blood of 9 AD and 10 psoriasis patients were compared by receptor (TCR) sequencing. Therefore, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were cell-sorted according to expression of the cutaneous leukocyte antigen (CLA) into skin-homing (CLA
    Results: Intra-individual comparison of TCRB CDR3 regions revealed that clonally expanded T cells in skin lesions of both AD and psoriasis patients corresponded to skin-homing circulating T cells. However, in psoriasis patients, these T-cell clones were also detectable to a larger extent among CLA
    Conclusions: Our data show that in line with the systemic nature of psoriasis, T-cell clones that infiltrate psoriatic skin lesions do not exclusively possess skin-homing ability and are therefore most probably specific to antigens that are not exclusively expressed or located in the skin. T cells driving AD skin inflammation appear to home nearly exclusively to the skin and are, to a certain extent, specific to aeroallergens.

    Abstract Objective: Quantitative extracellular volume fraction (ECV) mapping with MRI is commonly used to investigate in vivo diffuse myocardial fibrosis. This study aimed to validate ECV measurements against ex vivo histology of myocardial tissue samples from patients with aortic valve stenosis or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
    Materials and methods: Sixteen patients underwent MRI examination at 3 T to acquire native T
    Results: Septal ECV was 30.3% ± 4.6% and correlated strongly (n = 16, r = 0.70; p = 0.003) with myocardial collagen content. Myocardial native T
    Discussion: We compared myocardial ECV mapping at 3 T against ex vivo histology of myocardial collagen content, adding evidence to the notion that ECV mapping is a surrogate marker for in vivo diffuse myocardial fibrosis.

    Abstract Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common inflammatory skin diseases worldwide and Staphylococcus aureus colonization and secondary infections occur in the majority of AD patients. Allergic sensitizations against microbial antigens have been discussed as possible trigger factors of AD. Recently, we reported IgE sensitization against fibronectin-binding protein 1 (FBP1), an essential virulence component in S. aureus, in a subgroup of patients suffering from AD. To expand these findings by investigating delayed-type immune reactions, the objective of this study was to detect and phenotypically characterize FBP1-specific T cells as possible trigger factors in AD.
    Methods: Immunodominant T-cell epitopes were mapped by proliferation testing of patient-derived FBP1-specific T-cell lines after stimulation with single 15mer peptides, which were derived from different functional domains of the FBP1 sequence. Major histocompatibility complex class II tetramers carrying immunodominant epitopes successfully stained T helper cells in 8 out of 8 HLA-matched, IgE-sensitized AD patients.
    Results: Cytokine profiling of multimer-sorted cells revealed that predominantly the type 2 cytokines IL-13 and IL-4 were secreted by these cells. In contrast, IL-17, the marker cytokine for response to extracellular pathogens, was scarcely detectable.
    Conclusions: We demonstrate that FBP1 contains immunodominant peptides that induce a specific pro-inflammatory T helper cell response with increased Th2 levels that can drive an allergic inflammation in sensitized AD patients.

    Abstract Background: Sofosbuvir is a nucleotide compound that has proved to be among the most potent orally available antiviral treatments. Infrequent but serious adverse events have been reported with the use of oral nucleos(t)ide analogues.
    Objectives: Investigating sofosbuvir-induced alterations in the rat mandibular alveolar process.
    Material and methods: In the study, 30 adult male albino rats were used and divided randomly into following groups: group 1, group 2 and group 3 (10 rats per group). Group 1 served as a control, group 2 received sofosbuvir through oral gavage at a dose of 40 mg/kg/day for 6 weeks, and group 3 was similar to group 2 but received sofosbuvir for 12 weeks. The animals were sacrificed at the end of the experiment. The mandibles were dissected and examined histologically as well as by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray unit (EDX).
    Results: Histologically, group 1 showed normal alveolar process. In group 2, histopathological changes occurred as bone trabeculae demonstrated obvious Howship's lacuna of osteoclasts. In group 3, bone trabeculae exhibited multiple degenerated areas as well as apparent vacuolization. Scanning electron microscopic examination revealed smooth alveolar bone architecture in group 1. On the other hand, groups 2 and 3 demonstrated irregular bone architecture with formation of multiple pores. EDX analysis demonstrated the highest calcium concentration in the control group, while the lowest was found in group 3. Statistical analysis of the EDX results revealed a statistically significant difference among the studied groups as the p-value was <0.01.
    Conclusions: It has been concluded that sofosbuvir induced apparent alterations in the rats' alveolar bone. This effect was exaggerated in a longer period of drug administration. The sofosbuvir-induced alterations might be attributed mainly to mitochondrial toxicity. The effect had been clearly shown histologically and morphologically as well as in bone mineral (calcium) content.

    Abstract Background: In chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) patients, both dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells are functionally impaired and consequently the HBV-specific cellular immune responses are downregulated. The present study aims to investigate whether monocyte-derived DC (MoDCs)-pulsed-HBV subviral particles (HBVsvp) can polarize Th1 cells to induce HBV-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) responses in CHB patients.
    Methods and materials: To this end, the human hepatoma HepG2.2.15 cell line was used to produce HBVsvp as a culturing system, and HBVsvp were concentrated for highly virus titer using the polyethylene glycol protocol. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), collected from CHB patients and healthy donors, were differentiated into MoDCs and T cells. PBMCs-derived MoDCs were first pulsed with HBVsvp and then cultured with PBMCs-derived T cells. MoDCs and/or T subsets cells were identified for phenotypic activation by FACS analysis. The cytokine secretion of IL-4, IL-12, and IFN-γ in the culture supernatants was detected.
    Results: The MoDCs were restored for their activation upon pulsing with HBVsvp in vitro, as identified by significantly overexpression of both CD86 and HLA-DR, and overproduction of IL-4 and IL-12. Furthermore, MoDCs-pulsed-HBVsvp induced Th1 frequencies and activated HBV-specific CTL to produce significantly highest amount of IFN-γ. Enhanced HBV-specific CTL led to strong cytolytic capacity against HepG2.2.15.
    Conclusion: Overall, our data suggest that in vitro activation of MoDCs with HBVsvp overcomes the functionally impaired DCs and T cells in CHB patients offering a promising tool for therapeutic or vaccine-based approaches against HBV.

    Abstract Dysfunction of the immune system in colorectal cancer (CRC) can be due to a number of reasons including apoptosis of tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). The aims of this study were to characterize, phenotypically, the apoptosis of TILs in CRC, and define the association of these findings with prognostic indicators. We used double immunohistochemistry to assess the apoptosis of T-cell subsets. Monoclonal antibodies to T lymphocytes, T helper cells, cytotoxic T cells (CTLs), natural killer cells (NK), CD45 and CD45RO were used. Antibodies against cleaved caspase-3 as a marker of apoptosis were used. Apoptosis of T-cell subsets was detected in the immune infiltrate in CRC. Apoptosis of T lymphocytes showed significant correlation with lymphatic metastasis (P = 0.01), Dukes' stage (P = 0.019). Apoptotic T helper cells showed significant correlation with metastasis (P = 0.04), lymphatic metastasis (P = 0.02), death (P = 0.04) and recurrence (P = 0.04). For apoptosis of CTLs, there was a significant correlation with histological classification (P = 0.02), lymphatic metastasis (P = 0.04), vascular metastasis (P = 0.03) and lymph node metastasis (P = 0.04). A significant association was found between the apoptosis of NK cells and the histological classification (P = 0.04). A significant association was found between the apoptosis of cd45RO cells and the histological classification (P = 0.04). In conclusion, apoptosis of lymphocytes provides theoretical foundation for metastasis and counterattack of colon cancer.

    Abstract Dysfunction of the immune system in colorectal cancer (CRC) can be due to a number of reasons including apoptosis of tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). The aims of this study was to investigate TILs in colorectal cancer and characterize apoptosis of TILs using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay for detecting DNA fragments. We used monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to T lymphocytes to detect TILs and double immunohistochemistry to assess apoptosis. T lymphocytes were detected in the immune infiltrate in CRC. TUNEL staining disclosed a high level of cell death among TILs. Apoptosis of T lymphocytes showed significant correlation with Dukes' stage (P = 0.02), lymphatic metastasis (P = 0.03), vascular metastasis (P = 0.01), lymph node metastasis (P = 0.02) and age of patient (P = 0.01). In conclusion, CRC may elude immunological surveillance by inducing apoptosis of TILs.

    Abstract Background: Overtreatment of prostate cancer (PCa) is a healthcare issue. Development of noninvasive imaging tools for improved characterization of prostate lesions might reduce overtreatment.
    Purpose: To measure the distribution of tissue sodium concentration (TSC), proton T
    Study type: Cross-sectional.
    Subjects: Ten men with biopsy-proven PCa.
    Sequences/field strength: Sodium, proton T
    Assessment: All imaging data were coregistered to Gleason-graded postprostatectomy histology, as the standard for prostate cancer lesion characterization. Regional TSC and T
    Statistics: Differences in ΔTSC, ADC, and ΔT
    Results: Evaluation of the correlation of ΔTSC, ADC, and ΔT
    Data conclusion: The results of this preliminary study suggest that changes in TSC, assessed by sodium MRI, has utility as a noninvasive imaging assay to accurately characterize PCa lesions. Sodium MRI may provide useful complementary information on mpMRI, which may assist the decision-making of men choosing either active surveillance or treatment.
