Expression of CD40 and CD40L in Gastric Cancer Tissue and Its Clinical Significance

To study expression of CD40 and CD40L in gastric cancer tissue we assessed gastric cancer patients admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology of The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and control subjects. Gastric cancer and normal (from around tumours) tissue samples were obtained from patients. Venous blood samples (gastric cancer and ulcer groups) were drawn on the morning of the day before surgery for the measurement of peripheral sCD40L. The expression of CD40 in gastric carcinoma specimens was examined immuno-histochemically. The clinicopathological factors, including age, sex, tumor size, gross appearance, degree of cellular differentiation, histological classification, depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, peritoneal dissemination, and TNM stage were analyzed according to the different expression of CD40. The results indicated a high CD40 expression in gastric cancer tissues. This positive expression of CD40 revealed a significant (P < 0.05) correlation with lymphatic metastasis and tumor TNM stage in gastric cancer patients. It is concluded that higher CD40 expression existed in expanding type tumors and could play an important role in clinical diagnosis of gastric cancer patients.     

CD40–CD40L in Neurological Disease

Immune-inflammatory conditions in the central nervous system (CNS) rely on molecular and cellular interactions which are homeostatically maintained to protect neural tissue from harm. The CD40–CD40L interaction upregulates key proinflammatory molecules, a function best understood in the context of infection, during which B-cells are activated via CD40 signaling to produce antibodies. However, the role of CD40 in neurological disease of non-infectious etiology is unclear. We review the role of CD40–CD40L in traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, stroke, epilepsy, nerve injury, multiple sclerosis, ALS, myasthenia gravis and brain tumors. We also highlight therapeutic advancements targeting the CD40 system to either attenuate the neuroinflammatory response or leverage the downstream effects of CD40 signaling for direct tumor cell lysis.

CD40/CD40L and Related Signaling Pathways in Cardiovascular Health and Disease—The Pros and Cons for Cardioprotection

The CD40–CD40 ligand (CD40L) dyad represents a scientific and clinical field that has raised many controversies in the past and cannot be clearly defined as being an either beneficial or harmful pathway. Being crucially involved in physiological immunological processes as well as pathological inflammatory reactions, the signaling pathway has been recognized as a key player in the development of both autoimmune and cardiovascular disease. Even though the possibilities of a therapeutic approach to the dyad were recognized decades ago, due to unfortunate events, detailed in this review, pharmacological treatment targeting the dyad, especially in patients suffering from atherosclerosis, is not available. Despite the recent advances in the treatment of classical cardiovascular risk factors, such as arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus, the treatment of the associated low-grade inflammation that accounts for the progression of atherosclerosis is still challenging. Low-grade inflammation can be detected in a significant portion of patients that suffer from cardiovascular disease and it is therefore imperative to develop new therapeutic strategies in order to combat this driver of atherosclerosis. Of note, established cardiovascular drugs such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or statins have proven beneficial cardiovascular effects that are also related to their pleiotropic immunomodulatory properties. In this review, we will discuss the setbacks encountered as well as new avenues discovered on the path to a different, inflammation-centered approach for the treatment of cardiovascular disease with the CD40–CD40L axis as a central therapeutic target.     

IDO and CD40 May Be Key Molecules for Immunomodulatory Capacity of the Primed Tonsil-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Background: Tonsil-derived mesenchymal stem cells (T-MSCs) were reported to have suppressive effect on T cells, yet much remains unknown about the underlying mechanisms supporting this effect. We investigated the underlying mechanism of the immunomodulatory effect of T-MSCs on immune cell proliferation and cytokine production. Methods: We isolated T-MSCs from human palatine tonsil and evaluated the immunomodulatory capacity using RT-PCR, ELISA, and flow cytometry. Additionally, we assessed the expression of various soluble factors and several costimulatory molecules to detect the priming effect on T-MSCs. Results: T-MSCs significantly inhibited the immune cell proliferation and cytokine expression (TNF-α and IFN-γ) in the direct co-culture, but there was no suppressive effect in indirect co-culture. Additionally, we detected a remarkably higher expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) in the primed T-MSCs having co-expression CD40. Moreover, immune cells or CD4⁺ T cells showed lower TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-4 expression when the primed T-MSC were added; whereas those findings were reversed when the inhibitor for IDO (not IL-4) or CD40 were added. Furthermore, T-bet and GATA3 levels were significantly decreased in the co-cultures of the primed T-MSCs and CD4⁺ T cells; whereas those findings were reversed when we added the neutralizing anti-CD40 antibody. Conclusions: Primed T-MSCs expressing IDO and CD40 may have immunomodulatory capacity via Th1-mediated and Th2-mediated immune response.
