Low intraprostatic DHT promotes the infiltration of CD8+ T cells in BPH tissues via modulation of CCL5 secretion.

ABSTRACT: Clinical studies suggested thatandrogen might be associated with infiltrating T cells in prostate of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients, but detail of T-cell subset and mechanism still remained unclear. The present study tested the hypothesis that intraprostatic 5 ? -dihydrotestosterone (DHT) exerts effects on T cells recruitment by BPH epithelial cells. Prostate tissues from 64 cases of BPH patients after transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) were divided into 2 groups: (1) no medication history; (2) administration of 5 ? -reductase type II inhibitor-finasteride 5?mg daily for at least 6 months before surgery. Group 2 presented significantly higher CD8+ T cells infiltration than group 1, but no changes in CD4+ T cells (immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry). In vitro study more CD8+ T cell migrated to the prostate tissue lysates from group 2 and BPH-1 cells in low DHT condition. Transcription of chemokine (C-C motif) Ligand 5 (CCL5) mRNA in BPH-1 cells and chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 (CCR5) mRNA in CD8+ T cells were upregulated in low DHT condition (q-PCR). CCL5 expression was also identified to be higher in group 2 prostate tissues by IHC. This study suggested that intraprostatic DHT may participate in regulating inflammatory response which was induced by human prostatic epithelial cell, via modulating CCL5 secretion.

Project description:Background and purposeThe immune system plays an important role in driving the acute inflammatory response following myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI). IL-21 is a pleiotropic cytokine with multiple immunomodulatory effects, but its role in MIRI is not known.Experimental approachMyocardial injury, neutrophil infiltration and the expression of neutrophil chemokines KC (CXCL1) and MIP-2 (CXCL2) were studied in a mouse model of MIRI. Effects of IL-21 on the expression of KC and MIP-2 in neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes (CMs) and cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) were determined by real-time PCR and ELISA. The signalling mechanisms underlying these effects were explored by western blot analysis.Key resultsIL-21 was elevated within the acute phase of murine MIRI. Neutralization of IL-21 attenuated myocardial injury, as illustrated by reduced infarct size, decreased cardiac troponin T levels and improved cardiac function, whereas exogenous IL-21 administration exerted opposite effects. IL-21 increased the infiltration of neutrophils and increased the expression of KC and MIP-2 in myocardial tissue following MIRI. Moreover, neutrophil depletion attenuated the IL-21-induced myocardial injury. Mechanistically, IL-21 increased the production of KC and MIP-2 in neonatal CMs and CFs, and enhanced neutrophil migration, as revealed by the migration assay. Furthermore, we demonstrated that this IL-21-mediated increase in chemokine expression involved the activation of Akt/NF-κB signalling in CMs and p38 MAPK/NF-κB signalling in CFs.Conclusions and implicationsOur data provide novel evidence that IL-21 plays a pathogenic role in MIRI, most likely by promoting cardiac neutrophil infiltration. Therefore, targeting IL-21 may have therapeutic potential as a treatment for MIRI.Linked articlesThis article is part of a themed section on Spotlight on Small Molecules in Cardiovascular Diseases.

Project description:BackgroundBenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common urological disease in elderly men, but the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are complex and not fully understood. Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5-Is) used to treat BPH could upregulate the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase G (PKG) signaling, which was shown to blunt inflammation in the prostate. Our previous findings indicate that CD8+ T cells promote the proliferation of BPH epithelial cells (BECs) in low androgen conditions through secretion of CCL5; however, the role of the cGMP/PKG pathway in the process is unclear.MethodsParaffin-embedded tissues were used for expression quantity of CD8+ T cells, CCL5, cyclin D1, and PDE5 protein by immunohistology in prostate specimens which were/were not treated with finasteride 5 mg daily for at least 6 months before surgery. BPH-1 cells were cocultured with or without CD8 + T cells or PDE5-Is in low androgen conditions for 4 days. The conditioned media, BPH-1 cells, and CD8 + T cells were harvested for the subsequent experiments. The quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used for assaying the level of messenger RNA expression of CCL5. CCL5 in the conditioned media was detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The effect of PDE5-Is on cocultured BPH-1/CD8 + T-cell proliferation was detected by the cell counting kit-8. A high-fat diet (HFD)-induced prostatic hyperplasia rat model was used to investigate the effect of cGMP/PKG activation in CD8 + T cells in vivo.ResultsCD8+ T-cell infiltration into human BPH tissues was positively correlated with the expression of CCL5, cyclin D1, and PDE5, whereas in an HFD-induced prostatic hyperplasia rat model, the activation of the cGMP/PKG signaling by a PDE5-I could suppress the CD8 + T-cell infiltration and the CCL5 and cyclin D1 expression. Furthermore, the activation of the cGMP/PKG pathway inhibited CCL5 secretion by CD8 + T cells by downregulating nuclear factor-κB p65 phosphorylation, which reduced the growth of BPH-1 through CCL5/STAT5/CCND1 signaling.ConclusionsOur results indicate that the upregulation of the cGMP/PKG/p65 signaling reduces CCL5 secretion in CD8 + T cells, which in turn decreases the proliferation of BECs in low androgen conditions, suggesting that the combination of 5α reductase inhibitors lowering androgen levels and PDE5-Is may be a novel, more effective treatment for BPH patients.
