This brings about a great diversity of mechanisms potentially involved in the modulation of neuroinflammation by GCs, including the induction of apoptosis, repression of pro-inflammatory mediators and the expansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells.

Currently, the standard first-line treatment of IBD consists of systemic glucocorticoid (GC) application, even though therapy can be complicated by unresponsiveness or adverse effects. In view of the importance of macrophages and neutrophils for the pathogenesis of IBD we set out to define the relevance of these cell types as targets of GC using the mouse model of DSS-induced colitis. We found that the disease did not resolve in GRlysM mice lacking the GC receptor (GR) in myeloid cells after removal of the chemical insult. While clinical symptoms and tissue damage in the colon ameliorated again in GRflox mice, the disease further aggravated in GRlysM littermates. The observed difference coincided with an increased abundance of macrophages in inflammatory infiltrates in the colon of mutant mice whereas neutrophil and T cell numbers were similar. Concomitantly, systemic IL-6 secretion and mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the colon were elevated in GRlysM mice and gene expression of scavenger receptors and IL-10 was diminished.

Owing to their potent anti-inflammatory activity, GCs also play a key role in controlling acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD). Here we demonstrate that mice lacking the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in T cells develop fulminant disease after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. In a fully MHC-mismatched model, transfer of GR-deficient T cells resulted in severe aGvHD symptoms and strongly decreased survival times. Histopathological features were aggravated and infiltration of CD8(+) T cells into the jejunum was increased when the GR was not expressed. Furthermore, serum levels of IL-2, IFN, and IL-17 were elevated and the cytotoxicity of CD8(+) T cells was enhanced after transfer of GR-deficient T cells. Short-term treatment with dexamethasone reduced cytokine secretion but neither impacted disease severity nor the CTLs' cytolytic capacity. Importantly, in an aGvHD model in which disease development exclusively depends on the presence of CD8(+) T cells in the transplant, transfer of GR-deficient T cells aggravated clinical symptoms and reduced survival times as well. Taken together, our findings highlight that suppression of CD8(+) T-cell function is a crucial mechanism in the control of aGvHD by endogenous GCs.

This mechanism in turn is believed to contribute to the therapeutic efficacy of glucocorticoids (GCs) in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. In this study, we reassessed the role of aSMase in GICD by using aSMase knockout mice. The absence of aSMase largely abolished the partial protection that effector memory CD4(+) T cells in wild-type mice possess against GICD. Reduced IL-2 secretion by aSMase-deficient CD4(+) T cells suggested that a lack of this important survival factor might be the cause of these cells' enhanced susceptibility to GICD. Indeed, addition of IL-2 restored the protection against GICD, whereas neutralization of IL-2 abrogated the otherwise protective effect seen in wild-type effector memory CD4(+) T cells. The therapeutic implications of the altered sensitivity of aSMase-deficient T cells to GICD were assessed in models of inflammatory disorders; namely, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and acute graft-versus-host disease. Surprisingly, GC treatment was equally efficient in both models in terms of ameliorating the diseases, regardless of the genotype of the T cells. Thus, our data reveal a hitherto unrecognized contribution of aSMase to the sensitivity of effector memory CD4(+) T cells to GICD and call into question the traditionally attributed importance of GICD of T cells to the treatment of inflammatory diseases by GCs.

We found that these BMP-NP have an increased cell type-specificity compared to free GC while retaining full therapeutic efficacy in a mouse model of MS. BMP-NP were preferentially taken up by phagocytic cells and modulated macrophages in vivo more efficiently than T cells. When GC were applied in the form of BMP-NP, treatment of neuroinflammatory disease in mice exclusively depended on the control of macrophage function whereas effects on T cells and brain endothelial cells were dispensable for therapeutic efficacy. Importantly, BMP-NP were not only active in mice but also showed strong activity towards monocytes isolated from healthy human volunteers. We conclude that application of GC via IOH-NP has the potential to improve MS therapy in the future. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

In our search for new mechanisms of action, we identified a hitherto unknown effect of GCs in the gastrointestinal tract. We found that oral administration of dexamethasone (Dex) to mice caused an enlargement of the stomach due to the induction of gastroparesis and that this effect was abolished in GR(dim) mice carrying the A458T mutation in the GC receptor (GR). Gastroparesis was unrelated to the enhanced gastric acid secretion observed after Dex treatment, although both effects were mediated by the same molecular mechanism of the GR. Using conditional GR-knockout mice, we could further rule out that GC effects on enterocytes or myeloid cells were involved in the induction of gastroparesis. In contrast, we found that Dex upregulated arginase 2 (Arg2) in the stomach both at the mRNA and protein level. This suggests that GC treatment leads to a depletion of L-arginine thereby impeding the production of nitric oxide (NO), which is required for gastric motility. We tested this hypothesis by supplementing the drinking water of the mice with exogenous L-arginine to compensate for the presumed shortage of this major substrate of NO synthases. Importantly, this measure completely prevented both the enlargement of the stomach and the induction of gastroparesis after Dex treatment. Our findings raise considerations of combining orally applied GCs with L-arginine to improve tolerability of GC treatment and provide a possible explanation for the antiemetic effects of GCs widely exploited in chemotherapy."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1210/en.2014-1246"],["dc.identifier.isi","000342345000018"],["dc.identifier.pmid","25057793"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/32240"],["dc.notes.status","zu prĂĽfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Endocrine Soc"],["dc.relation.issn","1945-7170"],["dc.relation.issn","0013-7227"],["dc.title","Glucocorticoids Induce Gastroparesis in Mice Through Depletion of L-Arginine"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
