Treatment of patients diagnosed as schizophrenic with antipsychotic drugs (neuroleptics) is known to cause occasional unexplained depletion of white blood cells, especially neutrophil granulocytes. It has been known for many years that neuroleptics can interfere with the mitochondrial respiratory chain in vitro. Because there has been a growing interest recently in mitochondrial targeting of drugs, and since a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model that predicts mitochondrial accumulation of neuroleptics has been published, we investigated the effects of neuroleptics on white blood cell mitochondria. Venous blood samples were collected from both patients undergoing treatment with neuroleptics and healthy volunteers. The samples were processed for transmission electron microscopy. The resulting images of white blood cells were analyzed using stereology to compare quantitatively mitochondrial morphology in the patient and control groups. We found that in patients, but not in controls, there was swelling of mitochondria and fragmentation of the mitochondrial cristae. There also were fewer mitochondria in patients than in controls, although due to the swelling of the organelles, the volume density of mitochondria in the two groups was not significantly different. Such changes are typical of a toxic insult. Consequently, it seems plausible that, since schizophrenia is not a disease considered to affect white blood cells per se, these changes probably are due to the medication. 相似文献

Mast cell stimulation by Ag is followed by the opening of Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels, which participate in the orchestration of mast cell degranulation. The present study has been performed to explore the involvement of the Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel K(Ca)3.1 in mast cell function. To this end mast cells have been isolated and cultured from the bone marrow (bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs)) of K(Ca)3.1 knockout mice (K(Ca)3.1(-/-)) and their wild-type littermates (K(Ca)3.1(+/+)). Mast cell number as well as in vitro BMMC growth and CD117, CD34, and FcepsilonRI expression were similar in both genotypes, but regulatory cell volume decrease was impaired in K(Ca)3.1(-/-) BMMCs. Treatment of the cells with Ag, endothelin-1, or the Ca(2+) ionophore ionomycin was followed by stimulation of Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels and cell membrane hyperpolarization in K(Ca)3.1(+/+), but not in K(Ca)3.1(-/-) BMMCs. Upon Ag stimulation, Ca(2+) entry but not Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores was markedly impaired in K(Ca)3.1(-/-) BMMCs. Similarly, Ca(2+) entry upon endothelin-1 stimulation was significantly reduced in K(Ca)3.1(-/-) cells. Ag-induced release of beta-hexosaminidase, an indicator of mast cell degranulation, was significantly smaller in K(Ca)3.1(-/-) BMMCs compared with K(Ca)3.1(+/+) BMMCs. Moreover, histamine release upon stimulation of BMMCs with endothelin-1 was reduced in K(Ca)3.1(-/-) cells. The in vivo Ag-induced decline in body temperature revealed that IgE-dependent anaphylaxis was again significantly (by approximately 50%) blunted in K(Ca)3.1(-/-) mice. In conclusion, K(Ca)3.1 is required for Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel activity and Ca(2+)-dependent processes such as endothelin-1- or Ag-induced degranulation of mast cells, and may thus play a critical role in anaphylactic reactions. 相似文献

We previously described an enrichment-immunoassay utilizing a T6 monoclonal antibody capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Here we evaluated it for the rapid screening for Salmonella in fishmeal obtained from the national Animal and Plant Quarantine service in the People's Republic of China. In this method, the number of Salmonella present is first expanded by appropriate enrichment cultures, and the pathogens are then directly detected by the T6 immunoassay. In a total of 94 enrichment cultures of fishmeal, we obtained an overall concordance of 98% between the results obtained in parallel by this method and by conventional test method. The positive prediction by this method was 92% and the negative prediction was 100%. The turn around time for the new test was 27 h which is a significant improvement from the turn around time exceeding 96 h required for the conventional test method. This test proved to be compatible with the routine work flow in the practical setting of a quarantine laboratory. 相似文献

Background
Mannose binding lectin (MBL) is an important host defence protein against opportunistic fungal pathogens. This carbohydrate-binding protein, an opsonin and lectin pathway activator, binds through multiple lectin domains to the repeating sugar arrays displayed on the surface of a wide range of clinically relevant microbial species. We investigated the contribution of MBL to antifungal innate immunity towards C. parapsilosis in vitro. 相似文献8.

The idea of immunological surveillance against cancer has existed for nearly 100 years but as no conclusive evidence has yet
been published the importance of the cellular immune defense in the detection and removal of incipient or existing tumors
is still a hotly debated subject. However, in order to select a relevant immunotherapeutic strategy in the treatment of cancer,
a fundamental understanding of the basic immunologic conditions under which a tumor develops and exists is a prerequisite.
Therefore, a murine model was set up that we hoped would enable us to confirm or reject the theory of immunological surveillance.
A large panel of methylcholanthrene induced tumors was established in T-cell immunodeficient nude mice and congenic normal
mice to study the influence of the immune system on developing tumors. As nude mice developed tumors fastest and with the
highest incidence, we concluded that in this model the immune system constituted a ‘tumor-suppressive factor’ delaying and
sometimes abrogating tumor growth, i.e. performing immune surveillance. Immunogenicity of the tumors was assessed by transplantation
back to normal histocompatible mice. Tumors originating from the immunodeficient nude mice turned out to be far more immunogenic
than tumors from normal mice, resulting in a high rejection rate. CD8+cytotoxic T cells were found to be indispensable for
this rejection, leading to the conclusion that the cytotoxic T cells perform immune selection in normal mice, eliminating
immunogenic tumor cell variants in the incipient tumor.
In this review, we discuss the difficulties facing immunotherapy when conclusions are drawn from the presented observations
and hypotheses. 相似文献

Early evolution of metazoan serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases: identification of selected kinases in marine sponges 总被引:14,自引:1,他引:13
The phylum Porifera (sponges) was the first to diverge from the common
ancestor of the Metazoa. In this study, six cDNAs coding for protein-
serine/threonine kinases (PS/TKs) are presented; they have been isolated
from libraries obtained from the demosponges Geodia cydonium and Suberites
domuncula and from the calcareous sponge Sycon raphanus. Sequence
alignments of the catalytic domains revealed that two major families of
PS/TK, the "conventional" (Ca(2+)-dependent) protein kinase C (PKC), the
cPKC subfamily, as well as the "novel" (Ca(2+)- independent) PKC (nPKC),
form two separate clusters. In each cluster, the sequence from S. raphanus
diverges first. To approach the question about the origin of
protein-tyrosine kinases (PTK), which are found only in Metazoa, we
analyzed two additional PS/TKs which have been cloned from S. domuncula:
the stress-responsive protein kinase (KRSvSD) and the
protein-kinase-C-related kinase (PRKvSD). The construction of the
phylogenetic tree, comprising the eight PS/TKs and the PTK cloned
previously from G. cydonium, revealed that the PTK derived from the branch
including the KRSvSD kinase. These data facilitate the first molecular
approach to elucidate the origin of metazoan PTK within the PS/TK
superfamily.
