Vodka bottle fish tank?
I'm wondering what people's opinions are on using a vodka bottle as a fish tank. This is the bottle:
It is a 750mL bottle... I think it would look really cool, but due to its size, I'm not sure about using it. I've had people suggest putting a betta in it, but is it too small? And is it safe, since it used to hold vodka? Poor drunk fish...
Ugh... just found a video on youtube that someone posted of a betta in one of those... and it made my heart hurt. It's clearly much too small.
Are there any tiny fish that would be happy in there? :lol:
maybe a killifish but its still very small
A killfish in a crystal skull head vodka bottle.... OMG!!!!!!!!! How awesome would that be haha
A dead fish would have no problem in there.. could even keep the vodka in it. Far too small for anything living.
nothing swimming maybe a shrimp or some snails... even 1.75 liter bottle would be to small to keep much anything
Can you fill it with a coloured liquid and seal it shut and place it at the bottom of a tank as an ornament? Looks like a cork... so not sure.
Oh my...... :rofl:
And how the heck would you clean something like that? I wouldn't want to attempt it. But it is very cool looking.
If only they came in larger sizes. After taking some time to look into mini heaters and filters, i have come to the conclusion that it just shouldn't be done. I did think about using it as a decoration in my tank at home but it's a really natural looking setup with only driftwood and rocks. Oh well, at least i thought it through instead of doing something on impulse.
I normally like just rock, plants, and wood, but if done right a little whimsy can work in betta tank I think.

The ISPE Good Practice Guide: Comparator Management is the pharmaceutical industry's first-ever resource for comparator processes. It has been developed to use as a central reference source that establishes strategic and tactical considerations related to comparator sourcing. It identifies good practices for making sourcing decisions, including how to set up a good sourcing team. The Guide also discusses good practices for blinding and releasing a comparator for use.
The Guide will also explain the risks involved with ineffective comparator methods, and provide companies with strategies for avoiding the costs, delays and potential case study inaccuracies that might result from faulty comparator management.

Persistent disparities exist in routine immunizations and immunizations in a public health emergency such as the H1N1 pandemic between Black and White adults for vaccine preventable diseases. Research has identified numerous factors that contribute to but do not account fully for the disparities. Further research is needed to understand attitudes, cultural beliefs, and other psychosocial factors that influence vaccine behavior. We will identify new factors affecting immunization disparities and test the effectiveness of new communication components on intent to get a vaccine. Methods include: 1) focus groups and belief elicitation interviews to uncover psychosocial factors and cultural variables;2) construction of new quantitative items and cognitive interviews assessing those items;3) a national pilot survey with 200 Blacks and Whites to validate the instrument;4) a nationally representative survey of 1600 Blacks and Whites;5) translation of results into communication components;and 6) testing those components with 200 Black adults.
Public acceptance of vaccines for vaccine preventable diseases is critical to reduce morbidity and mortality from routine infectious diseases such as seasonal influenza, pneumonia and others. Public willingness to take a vaccine in a public helath emergency such as a pandemic is esstential. This research addresses the persistent problem of disparities between Black and White adults that places Blacks at higher risk.

How to Fix Missing Icon Images for Games or Any Windows Program
By Saucy 1 Comments
The other day my StarCraft II icon turned into the default Windows icon and this infuriated me. I finally found a solid fix for this.
- Change your Folder Options to show hidden files, folders, and protected operating system files
- Go into C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Local (Windows Vista and 7)
- Delete IconCache.db
- Create a new IconCache.db
- Change the new IconCache.db to be Read Only
- Restart your PC
After doing this your icon cache should be rebuilt and your StarCraft II, or whatever, icon should be back.

I don't know what I'm ment to say for the section 5 reflections in my booklet? Does anybody have any tips?
Depends what your action project is! I still need to write mine to, I'm doing the guide dogs! Just say how u learned from working with that organisation and in your committee/group!
My teacher just gave us notes telling us what to write (but in our own words). Basically, it's about new opinions and thoughts you acquired from your action project. Include some thoughts or opinions on the concept in which your project is based, and you may mention some of the facts that you listed on section 4 and your thoughts/opinions on them
I wrote about skills I learned, improvements I would make next time, what went well, what didnt go well and information I learned. I hope this helps!

"Brilliant apartment, clean and well located and central. Highly recommend."
"Great place to stay for a couple - comfortable and well laid out with everything you need. The location is ideal as it's close to things but not in the thick of it as it is tucked away down a little side street but 10 minute walk to most things. Simone, who owns it, is super helpful and friendly. Why you would waste money on a small, cramped hotel room costing the same amount of money is beyond me!"
"The apartment had it all, it was clean, comfortable, walking distance to everything and Simone was wonderful. I would highly recommend this place, really feels like home. The only regret was that I didn't stay longer."
"we liked the place ,the atmosphere. Very quiet."
"Comfortable apartment. Great location. Easy walk to key sights, but in a quiet, pretty area. Good restaurants and services nearby (grocery store, post office, taxi stand, etc). Simone is very helpful and easy to work with. Very responsive to messages in advance of our arrival regarding check-in. Provided useful information on surrounding neighborhood. We would definitely go back. Nothing. The 3rd floor (4th floor to Americans) is a bit of a hike up, but it's not a big deal. The pull-out couch is a bit small for more than one person."
"As always it's the little things that make the difference and Simone the owner was a pleasure to deal with, he was there to greet us as arranged and we had an exceptional meal out at L' Osteria Raddi, one of the recommendations of local places to eat he had left for us. The apartment itself was comfortable, spacious and very close to ponte vecchio bridge, so very central. Recommend "
"Florence is a wonderful city, ridiculously beautiful. We had a fantastic stay in this apartment. Its location is superb, just a minute away from the Ponte Vecchio and yet really quiet. It is also right near a supermarket which is ideal for self-catering. The apartment is light and airy, with lovely high ceilings. The bed is large and comfy. The owner is really nice and helpful - he recommended a lovely place to eat just 5 mins from the apartment and texted us the directions. We would definitely recommend this apartment. "
"La excelente ubicacion y la calidad del apartamento Canales internacinales en la tv "
"tolle, komplett sanierte wohnung in zentraler lage beim ponte vecchio. gepflegt, schön, gut ausgestattete küche, blick in den innenhof, geräumig mit zwei toiletten ;-) sehr netter und unkomplizierter vermieter, der uns bei den folgen einer autopanne sehr entgegen gekommen ist. falls wir wieder einmal nach florenz kommen wollen, dann können wir uns die herbergs-suche ersparen... thank you simone! markus & petra (austria)"
"It was so nice!!!"
"Convenient to everything - tourist attractions, supermarket, restaurants. Just out of the main tourist area. Simone was available at all time if any problems occurred. A first class host "

by Ward Mullens, Published October 19, 2010
YPSILANTI - Carol Goss, president and chief executive officer of the Skillman Foundation, will be the guest speaker for Eastern Michigan University's December 2010 commencement ceremonies Dec. 19.
Goss was approved by the EMU Board of Regents at its regular meeting Oct. 19.
The Skillman Foundation is a private, independent foundation whose mission is to improve the lives of children in metropolitan Detroit by improving their homes, schools and neighborhoods. The Foundation has assets of $600 million and manages an annual grants budget of $30 million.
Goss has been involved in philanthropy for 20 years. Prior to joining the Skillman Foundation as senior program officer in 1998, Goss served as program officer at The Stuart Foundation in San Francisco, California, and as program director at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek, Michigan.
Her professional career also includes experience in the human services field as a social worker, social work supervisor and agency administrator with the Detroit Department of Public Welfare, Oakland County Family and Children's Services, and The Children's Home Society in Oakland, California.
In 2008, Goss received the City Mission Champion for Children Award, and was selected as the Eleanor Josaitis "Unsung Hero" recipient as part of the Shining Light Awards sponsored by the Detroit Free Press and Metropolitan Affairs Coalition. She was also selected as one of 25 women to be featured in the Charles H. Wright Museum's newest exhibit, "Women of a New Tribe."
In 2007, Goss was named the James A. Joseph Lecturer by the Association of Black Foundation Executives. She has been cited by Crain's Detroit Business as one of Southeast Michigan's Most Influential Women, an honor bestowed just once every five years to the region's most dynamic and powerful women.
Goss grew up in Detroit and during her teenage years did volunteer work for the YWCA. Her community service convinced her that she wanted to become a social worker and help people in need. She graduated from Detroit's Chadsey High School before heading to the University of Michigan, where she received two degrees. Goss holds both a BA in sociology (1969) and a MSW (1972).

With proven experience and work ethics as quality security officers and staff, Canine detection and patrol teams, and investigators, D & M Security is an assured Risk Control and Protection solution for your security problems.
Who we are?Our predecessor, Interglobe Inc. was founded in 1995 when retired Delta Police Dog Master Philip Moriarity began providing specialized investigative services to select clients, and then the general public.

Over the years, they gained insightful experience and became the best in the field.

Preference Structures, Property Rights, and Paired Comparisons
The method of paired comparisons was used to determine the structure of survey participants' value expressions for Australian native forests. The same participants were also surveyed using the contingent valuation method (CVM). Data from the paired comparisons were used to construct preference maps which enabled identification of participants whose value expressions were structurally incompatible with economic welfare theory – in particular, those participants who expressed their values according to lexicographic preferences. For some of these participants, CVM results did not provide appropriate measures of WTP. The surveys also demonstrated the importance of allowing participants' own views on property rights to dictate the valuation context offered. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1999

Safest West Chicago Neighborhoods
West Chicago has an overall crime rate of 14 per 1,000 residents, making the crime rate here near the average for all cities and towns of all sizes in America. According to our analysis of FBI crime data, your chance of becoming a victim of crime in West Chicago is 1 in 72. How does West Chicago fare compared to other communities in Illinois of all population sizes? West Chicago's crime rate is lower than approximately 39% of Illinois communities.
However, compared to other communities of similar population size, West Chicago has a crime rate that is noticeably lower than the average. This means that for comparably sized cities all across America, West Chicago is actually safer than most according to NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis of FBI crime data.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 18,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how West Chicago does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in West Chicago.
For West Chicago, NeighborhoodScout found that the violent crime rate is well below the national average for all communities of all population sizes. Violent crimes such as assault, rape, murder and armed robbery happen less often in West Chicago than in most of America. One's chance of becoming a victim of a violent crime here is one in 1248, which is a violent crime rate of 1 per one thousand inhabitants.
Moreover, the rate of property crime in West Chicago; burglary, larceny ($50 or more), grand theft auto, and arson; is 13 per 1,000 residents. This is about average for all cities and towns in America of all population sizes.

Now that Tony (and Grammy) Award-winner Lin-Manuel Miranda is officially bowing out of In the Heights, the Broadway show's new starring attraction is Nuyorican native Javier Muñoz, who's been dutifully playing understudy to Miranda (as well as taking on the roles of Usnavi's cousin, Sonny, and bad boy Graffiti Pete) for some time.

The producers of Broadway musical In the Heights recently announced that they have recouped their 10 million dollar investment. This is a huge deal for the show, based around the traditionally Latino neighborhood of Washington Heights in upper Manhattan. While other shows on Broadway have been forced to scale back their productions or close down all together, the continuing success of In the Heights proves that show creator Lin Manuel was able to develop an entertaining (and lucrative) new formula for success on the Great White Way.

New York native Lin-Manuel Miranda had much to celebrate at the Tony Awards as he accepted the prizes for both Best Musical and most memorably, Best Score for his show In The Heights. Having written both the music and the lyrics of this play about the Latino neighborhood of Washington Heights where he was raised when he was just a sophomore at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, Lin-Manuel was living his dream just by attending the Tony Awards.

An excellent variety producing large, thick skinned lemons equal in quality to those purchased from a supermarket - and ideal for adding to a gin and tonic! Set against a foil of glossy, dark foliage, the delicate clusters of tiny white flowers fill the air with their delicious fragrance from April to June. The fruits of Lemon 'Eureka' may take up to a year to ripen but are well worth the wait. Lemons can be harvested as they ripen and once picked, will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Lemon trees are capable of surviving brief periods below 0C, but are best grown in large containers and moved indoors to a bright frost free position from autumn to spring. This tree is self fertile and will not need a pollination companion. Propagated onto 'PS' rootstock and supplied as a large specimen bush (often in fruit) in a 5 litre pot.
Eventual height: 3m (9'). Spread: 2.5m (8').
Estimated time to cropping once planted: 1 year.
Estimated time to best yields: 3 years.
Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Have recently ordered a lemon tree at a cost of £69.99 . It is the first time I have ordered plants on line before and I certainly won't be doing it again!. The lemon tree has arrived in its 5 litre pot as stated on the website but is only 60 cm/ 2 feet tall which is not what I was expecting at such a cost . I have been in touch to express my concern but I have been advised that the horticulturists has looked at the pictures I sent and that they are in good condition and if cared for will produce crops and growth. Well that may be so but when I pay £69.99 for a tree/ plant I expect it to be more established.
Thank you for your review. I am sorry to learn of your disappointment with your purchase. If you would like to contact our Customer Care Department at firstname.lastname@example.com, one of our agents will be more than happy to look in to this further for you.
By Alex Cocker 14-04-2016
I bought a lemon eureka tree as a bit day present for my wife. It arrived on 31 March 2015, well packaged and looking healthy. It wasn't the cheapest but having taken advantage of other offers to avoid paying a delivery charge I was happy with overall deal. The instructions on this site were easy to follow and it only needed feeding and watering once per week so it was very low maintenance. As it is quite heavy in its pot it has stayed in the conservatory all year. We have now used the first lemon for G&Ts. It seemed the right thing to do! It had an amazing fresh smell and flavour. There are three more ready to pick but they stay firmest left on the tree until needed. Lemon meringue pie next I think.
Thank you very much for your review. I am glad to hear that you have had such fantastic results with your tree, and appreciate you letting us know. I hope we can continue to be of service to you in the future.

Perceptions in Life
The perceptions of what I and others see in things is so interesting to know.
When you see a cloud in the sky I see something that others may not see.
They may see something else that I don't see.
When the hawks circled my house at tree top level when I published, "An Angel Sighting," is a spiritual sign.
Others see the hawks as pests or are hungry.
Perceptions of things that happen every day spiritual tests I see them as.
How people interact every day is influenced by a persons spiritual and religious background.
A person has a choice to do positive or negative tasks.
My perception is a everyday test to do right and wrong.
God makes himself known in one way or another.
Just some overlook the signs.
Holy Spirit and Jesus helps me perceive how to live everyday life and tests.
View my cloud angel picture and enlarge the head area and tell me what you perceive.
I see a face.

Dirty and out of many things on the menu including water or ice. Maybe they should close for the holiday and clean and restock.
I love this place. I've been going for years. The food is great. However it is a little pricy. My favorite is the chicken quesadilla platter. The atmosphere is very cute. It's very nice to sit outside in nice weather. I recommend it highly.
We stopped at Funcho's on the recommendation of some friends. We had fish tacos, chicken tacos and chicken quesadillas and they were all fresh and tasty. They sell soda by the glass bottle and also beer. Great place!
Nice place to have a quick mexican meal. Friendly service and wide menu to choose from. Try this place if you're around looking for a place to eat and go

Eight-year-old Alabama resident Cecelia Crawford wasn't happy during the debate on Wednesday night when Mitt Romney said he would stop government funding for PBS.
On Thursday morning, she was still angry, so she wrote Romney a letter, sent along to The Huffington Post by her mother. Crawford wrote that she is a fan of "Sesame Street" and that it was her "favorite show on earth" when she was younger.
"When I grow up I'm going to get married and I want my kids to watch it so do not cut it off," Crawford wrote. "You find something else to cut off!"
Romney told PBS host Jim Lehrer, who moderated the presidential debate, that he would stop the subsidy to Lehrer's network. "I'm sorry, Jim, I'm gonna stop the subsidy to PBS ... I like PBS, I love Big Bird -- I actually like you, too -- but I am not going to keep spending money on things [we have] to borrow money from China to pay for," Romney said.
Crawford's mother mailed the letter on Thursday to Romney's campaign headquarters.

Despite modest gains in some regions in the world, millions of women are losing ground in their quest for equality in the world of work, according to a new report prepared by the UN International Labour Organisation (ILO) as part of the its Women at Work Centenary Initiative .
The majority of women working part-time earn less than the living wage in over 50 local authority areas across Britain, according to research published today by the TUC.
Being made male or female should be a gift of God, not a weapon of oppression says a new paper by Christian Aid, Of the Same Flesh: exploring a theology of gender.
The proportion of young women doing low-paid, low-skill jobs has trebled over the last 20 years, according to new research commissioned by the TUC.
Former US President Jimmy Carter has called the abuse of women the "most pervasive and unaddressed human rights violation in the whole world."

The Mexican authorities have failed to protect women from increasing levels of violence and discrimination, says Amnesty International.
Key aspects of Christian (and notably Christendom) tradition have been used to cement or justify women's oppression. But dismissing Christianity simply as something to be thankfully consigned to history means consigning all the achievements of women who have identified themselves as Christian alongside it, says Alison Jasper. From this perspective, all Christian women are victims if not collaborators. A rounder picture is needed.

Suspect arrested in Rossmoor jogger stabbing
ROSSMOOR An 18-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the random stabbing of a 28-year-old woman this week.
James Rivas was taken into custody Thursday night at his home in the 12000 block of Davenport Road, just a few blocks from where the attack happened Tuesday evening.
The woman was jogging in the 3200 block of Bostonian Drive – an area popular with dog-walkers and joggers – when a man came up behind her and began trying to stab her. There was no attempt to rob or sexually assault the woman, authorities said.
The woman knocked the knife out of the assailant's hand, but officials said he chased her down and continued the attack until a neighbor yelled and scared the man away.
The woman, who suffered cuts and stab wounds, was released from the hospital Wednesday.

Assurion ERP Equipment replacement - Different device
I had the evo 4g. Screen cracked and went black. Sprint says no you have to use erp.
I put in order and receive the evo3d.
I dont like it.
No hdmi and the camera sux. The 5mp is remarkably different than the 8mp camera. And no kickstand. I used the kickstand a lot at bars/restaurants.
Anyone have similar experience?
Suggestions? I plan on starting a ticket with assurion and I guess Sprint.

If they dont have a replacement device they upgrade to next device. I have a dumb four year olds it replacement is same phone even though that model has been replaced twice. The original droid is still being swapped for yep original droids. Some folks file a claim hoping they can get a newer phone then they had some times it works other times it doesnt. Luck of the draw.

Re: Assurion ERP Equipment replacement - Different device
Its only a slightly faster process but it does have more ram which is good. But the difference is not completely noticeable.
If your upgrading go with the epic touch aka samsung galaxy s2. Evo3d is a card trick in bar. Downgraded camera to make way for the 3d option. You cant share the 3d photos. When you do they are converted to 2d. So wahts the point of the novelty?

Re: Assurion ERP Equipment replacement - Different device
A lot of folks were raving about getting the Evo3D a while back.
Assurion is again sending out Evo 4Gs which considering many of us have bought cases, batteries, etc, is probably not bad.
I dropped my phone for the who knows how many'th time and it goofed up the screen.
Claim made. Sprint store wouldn't touch it because it was rooted. New to me Evo 4G refurb on the way overnight.

There was a woman on our Garden Walk last year who grew many many hosta (and
other wonderful shade specimen). She named Little Black Scape as one of her
favorites. I will say when I looked at it (no scapes) it didn't seem all
that special....

Cindy, interesting one here. When I first saw the pix of this hosta I
thought I just had to have it. I was (at the time) deciding what would be my
200th hosta. Each of the centennial hostas get a special place in my garden.
I was convinced that Little Black Scape was it. I even quit buying hostas
cuz I was planning a trip to Raleigh and I was going to buy it right there.
Well, I got to Raleigh, and asked where my "new baby" was. There was this
green hosta. Period. I looked at it, and looked at it, and looked at it.
Somehow it didn't look like the kind of hosta I had envisioned putting into
the centennial bed. So I passed.
Many, many, many hostas later, I finally got Little Black Scape from a
friend. Well, no scapes last year, but that's ok, it was new to me. Without
the scapes though, it's a green hosta. Do you want it? I dunno. But what I
learned is that as kewl as a plant with Black scapes might be, it doesn't
have black scapes the whole season.
I'm slowly learning to be a better buyer. Ever so slowly mind you....

NFL Playoffs: A Wacky Week 17
I can't remember a more exciting week 17 in a long time. It appears Tony Romo won't be available to keep the last game of the year losing streak alive. Kyle Orton it seems will take that responsibility but will attempt to do what Romo hasn't done against his division rivals the past 2 seasons and take the Cowboys back to the playoffs for the first time since 2009. Dallas actually beat Philadelphia in the Wild Card round that season, and as irony would have it, they play the Eagles on Sunday in a win or go home for good scenario.
The same applies in the Bears vs Packers game where the winner takes home the division title and the loser watches them play in the first round of the post season. There are many other teams in the hunt here in week 17 that will have to play their best football, get a victory and pray for some help. A simple win will not secure most of the bubble teams a playoff berth. They'll need other teams to lose or tie in order for fortune to come their way. I've laid out all the scenarios for you below. Now it's time for you to decide. My predictions will be out this weekend and will reveal most of them on "The Sports Clinic" this Sunday for our weekly NFL Pre-Game Show at 10:00 am EST. Hope to hear from you guys as the show is Live and open to callers.
Here are the NFL week 17 playoff scenarios. Please comment as to who you think the remaining teams will be and what seed they will get in the tournament. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and a very happy, healthy and safe New Year to you all!
* I'm omitting most situations that include a tie ball game because it's a waste of my time. A tie which can virtually be a win or lose, (White Men Can't Jump reference) if it were to happen this Sunday, could determine whether or not a team will be playing post season football. Just ask the Packers how thankful they are for their tie against the Vikings which at the time was thought to be the final nail in the Cheese-Head coffin. But Matt Flynn has resurrected the Packers offense and if Aaron Rodgers isn't cleared to play then they go with Flynn for the win.
Clinched Playoff Spot
1. Patriots - Need to win for a 1st round bye or a Bengals loss.
2. Broncos - Need to win for the top seed in the AFC.
3. Chiefs - Must win and Denver losses to get #1 seed.
4. Colts - Must win and have New England & Cincinnati lose to get a bye.
5. Bengals - Must win and New England lose to earn a 1st round bye.
On The Bubble:
1. Chargers - Need to win and the Dolphins & Ravens must lose.
2. Ravens - Need to win and have either the Dolphins or Chargers lose.
3. Dolphins - Need to win and either have the Ravens lose or the Chargers win.
4. Steelers - Need to win and the other 3 teams must lose.
Clinched Playoff Spot
1. Seahawks - Win and get #1 seed.
2. 49ers - Win and Seattle loss gives S.F. a bye in 1st round.
3. Panthers - Can earn top seed if they win and Seattle loses.
On The Bubble:
1. Saints - Just need to win or Cardinals loss. Also can win NFC South division if Panthers lose.
2. Packers - Need to beat the Bears to win NFC North.
3. Bears - Need to beat the Packers to win NFC North.
4. Eagles - Need to beat the Cowboys to win NFC East.
5. Cowboys - Need to beat the Eagles to win NFC East.
6. Cardinals - Need to win and the Saints either must lose or tie.

I hope Romo can play to save the day. I honestly think either San Diego or Pittsburgh will get the last seed. It all depends on whether the Chiefs actually try on Sunday.

RAGE: Exacting a toll on the host in response to polymicrobial sepsis and Listeria monocytogenes
- Raphael Clynes1,
- Kevan Herold2 and
- Ann Marie Schmidt3Email author
DOI: 10.1186/cc6193
© BioMed Central Ltd 2007
Published: 28 December 2007
The receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) has complex roles in the immune/inflammatory response. RAGE is expressed on monocytes/macrophages, T and B lymphocytes, and dendritic cells. Previous studies illustrated that homozygous RAGE-/- mice subjected to overwhelming bacterial sepsis displayed normal clearance of pathogenic bacteria and significantly increased survival. In this issue of Critical Care, Lutterloh and colleagues confirm these findings and provide evidence that blocking antibodies to RAGE afford similar protection in mice, even when administration of anti-RAGE is delayed by 24 hours. Furthermore, these authors illustrate that deletion of RAGE is remarkably protective in mice infected with the intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. In this Commentary, we consider these findings and propose possible mechanisms by which RAGE exacts a heavy toll on the host in response to polymicrobial sepsis and L. monocytogenes.
The receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) plays central roles in the immune/inflammatory response. In this issue of Critical Care, Lutterloh and colleagues [1] tested roles for RAGE in two distinct models of severe infection in mice: (a) that induced by cecal ligation and puncture and (b) overwhelming infection with Listeria monocytogenes. RAGE is a multi-ligand receptor that binds fundamental regulatory molecules of inflammatory responses, the S100/calgranulins and high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1). The beneficial effects of ligand-RAGE blockade were observed in delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, collagen-induced arthritis, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, and alloimmunity, for example [2]. RAGE is expressed by multiple cell types implicated in the immune/inflammatory response, such as monocytes/macrophages, T and B lymphocytes, and dendritic cells. Ligand-RAGE interaction activates monocytes/macrophages, and recent studies provide compelling evidence for the role of RAGE in effective T-lymphocyte priming. In vivo and in vitro, T lymphocytes devoid of RAGE display markedly reduced proliferative and cytokine responses (interferon-γ and interleukin-2) to nominal or alloantigen [3]. Lutterloh and colleagues show that RAGE is not essential for clearance of pathogenic bacteria in polymicrobial sepsis or to L. monocytogenes. Rather, they illustrate that deletion of RAGE enhances survival compared with wild-type mice. How may we explain these findings?
In confirming the results of others in RAGE-/- mice [4], these authors showed that homozygous or heterozygous deletion of the RAGE gene was strongly protective in mice subjected to cecal ligation and puncture. Furthermore, administration of blocking monoclonal antibodies to RAGE, even when delayed by 24 hours, afforded survival benefit in mice subjected to this procedure. These data provide compelling evidence that RAGE is not required for fundamental innate responses that clear bacteria. Rather, RAGE may mediate hyperinflammatory responses to the invading bacteria that are injurious to the host. Clues that this is a likely explanation have come from the novel findings of Lutterloh and colleagues in L. monocytogenes-challenged RAGE-/- mice.
These authors challenged mice with L. monocytogenes and report that RAGE-/- mice or RAGE+/- mice displayed an LD50 (median lethal dose) that was more than two orders of magnitude higher than that of wild-type mice. In BALB/c mice, administration of anti-RAGE antibody offered significant protection against listeriosis. Importantly, bacterial counts did not differ among RAGE-/- and antibody-treated mice compared with controls.
As recently reviewed by Pamer [5], in the first few days of Listeria infection, the innate response is critical for early bacterial clearance and host survival. The adaptive response instead is required for controlling chronic, but not acute, infection since SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency disease) mice survive early listeriosis normally, but ultimately this infection is lethal due to long-term failure to clear the organism [6, 7]. In the initial phase of infection, Listeria binds to splenic macrophages and is internalized; Listeria produces products that activate nuclear factor-kappa B and upregulate innate immune molecules such as CC-chemokine ligand CCL2 [5]. Infected macrophages then release microbial products and engage Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Via myeloid differentiation factor 88 (Myd88), these macrophages differentiate into TNF (tumor necrosis factor)- and iNOS (inducible nitric oxide synthase)-producing cells that directly promote bacterial killing. Innate immune responses are thoroughly essential for host survival to Listeria as mice deficient in Myd88 are exquisitely vulnerable to this bacterium [8]. Interestingly, mice deficient in either TLR-2 or TLR-4 display relatively normal resistance to Listeria [8, 9], suggesting that compensation by other TLRs may override the loss of a single TLR and permit macrophage activation and bacterial killing. Unlike the TLRs, RAGE is not likely to be activated directly by microbial products. However, RAGE ligands inducibly expressed upon macrophage activation may potentiate initial innate activation and the systemic inflammatory response.
It is well established that in listeriosis, production of interferon-γ presumably by natural killer cells or T lymphocytes is critical for macrophage activation and initial bacterial clearance as well as for promotion of long-term protective cellular immunity [10]. Herein lies an intriguing piece of the puzzle; RAGE-/- mice displayed strikingly decreased levels of interferon-γ compared with wild-type mice in listeriosis yet were significantly protected from the injurious effects of the microorganism. In addition to revealing that production of this cytokine is not absolutely linked to the initial clearance of L. monocytogenes, these findings are consistent with the notion that the RAGE-induced proinflammatory state may be deleterious in the early stages of infection yet may ultimately promote protective adaptive Th1 cellular immunity. Thus, we may predict that deletion of RAGE or RAGE blockade suppresses interferon-γ-propagated macrophage activation and the hyperinflammation response that injures the host. However, since RAGE is critical for the Th1 adaptive response [3], it will be important to address the effect of RAGE deficiency or blockade on long-term anti-Listeria immunity. Note that Lutterloh and colleagues examined interferon-γ levels at 48 hours post-infection and in plasma only, not tissue. Thus, it remains possible that levels of this cytokine in RAGE-/- mice might have been different at distinct sites or time points in the infection.
In conclusion, in polymicrobial sepsis and in response to L. monocytogenes, genetic deletion of RAGE is remarkably protective. RAGE is not directly required for bacterial clearance, but the compelling experiments of Lutterloh and colleagues confirm that RAGE action mediates tissue damage initiated in response to overwhelming bacterial infection. Future studies must dissect the precise mechanisms by which RAGE exacts a heavy toll on the host during efforts to combat pathogenic bacteria.
