Description
Pharmacological inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is being explored as a chemotherapeutic option because COX-2 protein expression is often elevated in many cancers. Cancer cells treated with COX-2 inhibitors, such as the selective COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib, show growth inhibition and the induction of apoptosis, through alterations in inflammatory processes, angiogenesis, cell adhesion and transforming growth factor- signaling. This study was conducted to determine if the same processes are relevant to celecoxibs effects on human colorectal adenocarcinomas treated in vivo. A cohort of 23 patients with primary colorectal adenocarcinomas was randomized to receive a 7-day course of celecoxib (400 mg b.i.d.) or no drug prior to surgical resection. Gene expression profiling was performed on resected adenocarcinomas from patients with and without celecoxib pre-treatment. Using fold change (>1.5) and p-value (<0.05) cut-offs, 190 genes were differentially expressed between adenocarcinomas from patients receiving celecoxib and those that did not. Of the differentially expressed genes, multiple genes involved in cellular lipid and glutathione metabolism showed decreased expression levels in celecoxib pre-treated samples; changes associated with diminished cellular proliferation. Other observed gene expression changes consistent with reduced proliferation include: altered expression of genes involved in cell adhesion (including collagen, laminin, von Willebrand factor and tenascin C), increased expression of inflammatory modulators (including inerleukin-6, S100 calcium binding protein A8, and several chemokines) and decreased expression of the pro-angiogenic gene, angiogenin. Celecoxib pre-treatment for 7 days in vivo is associated with alterations in colorectal adenocarcinoma gene expression which are suggestive of diminished cellular proliferation.

Description
The hilum region of the mouse ovary, the transitional/junction area between OSE, mesothelium and tubal (oviductal) epithelium is identified as a previously unrecognized stem cell niche of the OSE. OSE cells with high ALDH1 activity have been predominantly detected in the hilum region by immunohistochemical staining.

Description
Objective: Conflicting evidence exists regarding the suppressive capacity of Tregs from the peripheral blood (PB) of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our aim was to determine whether Tregs are intrinsically defective in RA using a wide range of read-out assays. Methods: CD3+CD4+CD25+CD127low Tregs from CD45RO+ and CD45RA+ compartments of PB from patients with RA and healthy controls (HC) were analysed for phenotype, cytokine expression profile (ex vivo and after in vitro stimulation), suppression of effector T-cell proliferation and cytokine production, suppression of monocyte-derived cytokine/chemokine production, and gene expression profiling. Results: No differences were observed between patients with RA and HC regarding Treg frequency, ex vivo phenotype (CD4, CD25, CD127, CD39, CD161) or pro-inflammatory cytokine profile (IL-17, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha). FOXP3 expression was increased in Tregs from RA blood. The ability of Tregs to suppress T-cell proliferation or cytokine (IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha) production upon co-culture with autologous CD45RO+ effector T-cells and monocytes was not significantly different between patients with RA and HC. CD45RO+ Tregs from RA blood showed a slightly impaired ability to suppress production of some cytokines/chemokines by autologous LPS-activated monocytes (IL-1-beta, IL-1Ra, IL-7, CCL3, CCL4), but this was not true for all patients and other cytokines/chemokines (TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, IL-15, CCL5) were suppressed in the majority of patients similarly to HC. Finally, gene expression profiling of CD45RA+ or CD45RO+ Tregs from PB revealed no statistically significant differences between patients with RA and HC. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that Tregs isolated from PB of patients with RA are not intrinsically defective.

All patients had complete tumor pathology from biopsy and prostatectomy. Low risk PCa was defined as T1c or cT2a, and Gleason score (GS) 6, and PSA < 10ng/ml and favorable-intermediate risk was no greater than predominant GS 3 and percent positive biopsy cores < 50%, and either cT2b-cT2c or PSA 10-20ng/ml.
