    Abstract Background: The balance between Th17 cells and regulatory T (Treg) cells has been shown to play an important role in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Recent studies have shown that treatment with abatacept (ABT) or tocilizumab (TCZ) affects Th17 and Treg cell populations. Although not unanimously accepted, several reports have shown that Treg cells are decreased by ABT and increased by TCZ, and that Th17 cells are decreased by TCZ. To further investigate the effects of ABT and TCZ on the skewing of T cell populations, we analyzed the expression of master regulators genes of helper T cell lineages following ABT/TCZ treatment of RA patients.
    Methods: Ten patients treated with ABT and 10 patients treated with TCZ were enrolled. Total RNA was extracted from peripheral blood cells at baseline, and after 12 and 24 weeks of therapy. The expression levels of T-bet, GATA3, Foxp3 and Ror-γt were semi-quantified using real-time PCR. The relative expression levels were expressed as the ratios of two genes (T-bet/GATA3, Foxp3/GATA3, Foxp3/T-bet, Foxp3/Ror-γt, Ror-γt/T-bet, Ror-γt/GATA3), and the changes in these ratios with treatment were determined.
    Results: The Foxp3/Ror-γt ratio was decreased after ABT therapy (0.67 ± 0.16 at 24 weeks, P = 0.0034) but was increased after TCZ therapy (2.00 ± 1.03 at 24 weeks, P = 0.0013). In addition, the Ror-γt/GATA3 ratio was decreased after TCZ therapy (0.78 ± 0.37 at 24 weeks, P = 0.0008). Except for these ratios, no significant skewing in the expression of these factors was detected. No significant relationship between clinical response to the treatment and change in the ratios of these factors was determined.
    Conclusion: Treatment with TCZ or ABT differently affected the balance between Foxp3 and Ror-γt expression in the peripheral blood of patients with RA.

    Abstract We report four cases of successful treatment with certolizumab pegol (CZP) of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with persistent inflamed residual mono- or oligosynovitis resistant to prior TNF-α inhibitors. Although the patients were in a moderate disease activity, a low activity, or a remission of RA, they sustained inflammatory mono-/oligoarthritis even after treatment with prior TNF inhibitors. They were then all treated with CZP and observed in a serial ultrasonography. In all cases, the positive power Doppler signals in the joint have disappeared promptly and all of the patients were able to retain remission in the long term. The treatment of CZP to the refractory mono-/oligoarthritis of inflammatory synovitis in RA patients has not been previously described. The cases suggest that it may be associated with the feature of CZP, possible effective penetration into the site of inflammation.

    Abstract The pharmacological effects of prolonged administration of a corticosteroid, betamethasone, and active vitamin D3 [1,24R-(OH)2D3] on lymphoproliferation and autoimmune disease of MRL/MP-lpr/lpr (MRL/l) mice were examined. Relatively high doses of betamethasone (0.25 mg/kg/day) prevented lymphoproliferation, reduced serum levels of anti-dsDNA, anti-ssDNA, and anti-poly (ADP-ribose) antibodies, and brought about clinical improvement, such as reduced proteinuria and diminution of skin lesions. It is noteworthy that not only did prevention of lymphoproliferation occur, but also recovery of the Lyt-2+ T cell subset in the thymus and the spleen was observed. The administration of 1,24R-(OH)2D3 (0.1 μg/kg/day) similarly prevented proteinuria, and produced recovery of a Lyt-2+ subset in the thymus.

    Abstract An indole alkaloid, teleocidin, induced phenotypic differentiation in the thymic ALL cell line HPB-ALL. Within 30 min of seeding in the presence of teleocidin, the cells formed a smooth round shape. Upon 5-day exposure to teleocidin, most of the cells became smaller and reminiscent of large or atypical lymphocytes. A thymic antigen stained with monoclonal antibody OKT6 was remarkably reduced while Leu2a-positive cells were increased in the treated cells. Upon teleocidin-induced phenotypic differentiation, the growth rate of cells was inhibited, their ability to incorporate DNA via [3H]-labelled precursors was reduced, their ability to bind sRBC rosettes was increased. These changes were paralleled to that induced by 12-o-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate.

    Abstract We analyzed activating mutations of N-ras and K-ras by the polymerase chain reaction and oligonucleotide hybridization in hematological disorders. Activating mutations of these codons were detected in 4 of 20 cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and 15 of 77 cases of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Out of 19 cases of MDS and AML who carried active mutations, 7 cases were found to have two or more distinct mutations in activating codons of N-ras and K-ras. Ras mutation was found preferentially in progressive disease such as refractory anemia with excess of blasts (RAEB) of RAEB in transformation (RAEB-t). A relatively high incidence of ras mutation was found in M5 AML (40%). No ras mutations were found in other hematological disorders, such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia and chronic myelogenous-leukemia. The most frequent amino acid substitution was that of an aspartate for glycine at codon 12 of N-ras resulting from G to A mutation (11/35). The survival of AML patients who carried ras mutations showed no significant differences from those without ras mutations calculated by Kaplan-Meier. Seven cases of MDS and 7 cases of AML patients could be investigated at various points during their clinical course. Among these 14 cases, we found 2 interesting cases of MDS. The first case lost multiple clones carrying ras mutations during disease progression, the second case acquired mutation of the ras gene during disease progression. These results suggested that multiple point mutations of ras genes may not be initiating events but may contribute to a clonal evolution of MDS and AML.
