Fanconi anaemia (FA) is the most frequent inherited bone marrow failure syndrome, due to mutations in genes encoding proteins involved in replication fork protection, DNA interstrand crosslink repair and replication rescue through inducing double-strand break repair and homologous recombination. Clinically, FA is characterised by aplastic anaemia, congenital defects and cancer predisposition. In in vitro studies, FA cells presented hallmarks defining senescent cells, including p53-p21 axis activation, altered telomere length, mitochondrial dysfunction, chromatin alterations, and a pro-inflammatory status. Senescence is a programme leading to proliferation arrest that is involved in different physiological contexts, such as embryogenesis, tissue remodelling and repair and guarantees tumour suppression activity. However, senescence can become a driving force for developmental abnormalities, aging and cancer. Herein, we summarise the current knowledge in the field to highlight the mutual relationships between FA and senescence that lead us to consider FA not only as a DNA repair and chromosome fragility syndrome but also as a “senescence syndrome”.Subject terms: Cancer genetics, Disease genetics 相似文献

The case histories of two patients with penicillin-induced haemolytic anaemia are presented. One had received 20 mega units a day for 18 days, the other had received 20 mega units a day for two days and then 12 mega units a day for 25 days, before the haemolytic anaemia was diagnosed. Both had previously had courses of penicillin. A strongly positive direct antiglobulin reaction which appeared to be mainly due to IgG antibody was one of the main diagnostic features, and free IgG antipenicillin antibody was found in the serum of both patients. The haemolysis appeared to Lessen as soon as the drug was stopped, and the direct antiglobulin test became negative in 66–77 days.Twelve additional reported cases are reviewed. All had received high doses of penicillin and all had had penicillin previously. The lowest dose recorded was 10 mega units a day for 26 days. The incidence of anti-penicillin antibodies in a hospital population is given, and the mechanism of this type of haemolytic anaemia is discussed. Penicillin-induced haemolytic anaemia should be suspected in any patient receiving penicillin in high doses in whom there is a fall in the haemoglobin level. 相似文献

Oxidant and free radical-generating system were used to promote oxidative damage in erythrocytes. Among the oxidants used, phenylhydrazine represents one of the most investigated intracellular free radical-generating probes, which in the presence of haemoglobin autooxidises and give rise to hydroxyl radical, a marker for cellular damage. Erythrocyte, as a single cell, is a good model to be used for studying the haemolytic mechanism of anaemia. Our present investigations reveal increased lipid peroxidation of erythrocyte using phenylhydrazine as well as other oxygen-generating systems (hydrogen peroxide, iron with hydrogen peroxide). It has further been observed that not only lipid peroxidation, phenylhydrazine causes significant elevation in methemoglobin formation, catalase activity and turbidity, in the above system, which are the typical characteristics of haemolytic anaemia. However, exogenous administration of green tea leaf extract and ascorbic acid as natural antioxidants and free radical scavengers were shown to protect separately increased lipid peroxidation caused by phenylhydrazine, though the degree of protection is more in case of green tea leaf extract than ascorbic acid. Results suggest that oxidative damage in vivo due to haemolytic disease may be checked to some extent by using natural antioxidants. (Mol Cell Biochem 276: 205–210, 2005) 相似文献

Three patients developed autoimmune haemolytic anaemia while being treated with mefenamic acid. In each case the autoimmune haemolytic anaemia was of the warm antibody γG type, and the antibodies had some rhesus specificity. All three patients recovered when the drug was withdrawn.Attempts to inhibit or enhance the activity of the antibody in vitro were unsuccessful.Direct antihuman globulin tests were made in.the red cells of 36 patients receiving long-term mefenamic acid therapy, but only one was found to be transitorily positive. 相似文献

Background
Peripheral blood leucopenia and thrombocytopenia are the main manifestations in severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) patients. However, the underlying causes are poorly understood. Therefore, we aimed to investigate cytology of bone marrow samples collected from SFTS patients.Methods
10 SFTS patients were identified by typical clinical manifestations, detection of peripheral blood leucopenia and thrombocytopenia, and nucleic acid-based detection of the newly identified bunyavirus. SFTS patients, along with 10 participants with acute aplastic anemia and 10 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study after written informed consent to undergo bone marrow cytological examination.Results
We observed similar bone marrow properties in SFTS patients and healthy volunteers, significantly different from the characteristics observed in acute aplastic anemia patients.Conclusion
Similarities between bone marrow samples collected from SFTS patients and healthy volunteers suggest that peripheral blood leucopenia and thrombocytopenia do not result from bone marrow cell plasticity. 相似文献6.
Determinations of the acid–base status of 10 adult Jamaican patients with sickle-cell anaemia during “painful crisis” and after recovery showed no evidence of metabolic acidosis in the former, in contrast to reports from elsewhere. These results could explain the failure of alkalis to abort or alter the acute painful episodes of most patients with sickle-cell anaemia. 相似文献

Especially in childhood, the in vivo action of microbial neuraminidase may cause haemolytic anaemia or life-threatening haemolytic
uraemic syndrome. The exposure of the Thomsen-Friedenreich (T) crypto-antigen and T-antigen polyagglutinability of erythrocytes
has been described as the first sign of toxic cleavage of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) from sialoglycoproteins of cell
membranes. This phenomenon may, however, be too unspecific to initiate treatment for toxin elimination. The present study
investigated the diagnostic effectiveness of a panel of three monoclonal antibodies (mcabs) for the estimation of the clinical
significance of neuraminidase action in vivo. Depending on the amount of Neu5Ac released, the mcabs I-C4, II-Q9 and III-Y12
recognized different epitopes on erythrocyte asialoglycophorin. In 1345 patients, the mcab II-Q9 detected cleavage of Neu5Ac
in 32 children who had T-antigen polyagglutinability and mild to moderate haemolytic anaemia. However, only 10 patients, whose
erythrocytes were agglutinated by the mcabs III-Y12 or I-C4, developed severe haemolysis, thrombocytopenia, and finally the
life-threatening haemolytic uraemic syndrome (p<0.0002). In conclusion, these mcabs provided an early marker of the in vivo
action of neuraminidase. Two different degrees of erythrocyte desialylation, as defined by these mcabs, are suggested to reflect
the severity of toxin-associated disease.

Microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia was diagnosed in the course of haematopoietic and lymphatic disorders such as chronic granulocytic leukemia, chronic myelofibrosis, chronic lymphatic leukemia, Osler's disease, chronic monocytic leukemia, and lymphoplasmocytic lymphoma, in 11 patients (6 women and 5 men) aged between 33 and 81 years (mean age 58.8 years) treated at the Haematological Out-Patient Clinic of the Postgraduate Medical Education Centre within 1977-1987. The following laboratory tests were carried out: 1) morphology of the peripheral blood and bone marrow, especially some haematological parameters concerning erythrocytes and blood platelets; 2) biochemical tests reflecting erythrocytes disintegration; 3) haemostasis. All examined patients suffered from haemolytic anaemia of various degree with characteristic changes in erythrocyte shape (helmets, tear-drops etc.). Haemolytic origin of anaemia was confirmed by the increased LDH activity. In the majority of patients no compensative stimulation of haematopoiesis (reticulocytosis, red blood cells hyperproliferation in bone marrow) was seen. Clinical symptoms of haemostatic disorders such as haemorrhagic diathesis and vein thrombosis were diagnosed in 50% of the patients. Blood platelet counts ranged from markedly decreased to significantly increased. Bone marrow smears did not show increased number of megacariocytes. Bleeding time was prolonged in the majority of examined patients while prothrombin index--decreased). Abnormal fibrinogen levels (decreased or increased) were found in the majority of patients with fibrin degradation products. Microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia in these patients differ from the typical Moschowitz's disease clinically probably due to the lack of compensative stimulation of erythropoiesis and lower thrombocytopenia. 相似文献

The low concentration of hepatitis C virus in the blood of infected patients has made it difficult to detect. Infected patients can now be identified by using more sensitive immunoassays and amplification of viral RNA by the polymerase chain reaction. Nevertheless, the virus remains difficult to eliminate. We present the case of a woman with a history of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia, and common variable immunodeficiency who developed chronic hepatitis. 相似文献

Fasting gastrin levels in serum were measured in 49 patients with different types of chronic gastritis and in matched controls. In 15 patients with established pernicious anaemia the mean (± S.E. of mean) level of gastrin was greatly raised (699 ± 99 pg/ml). In 17 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, seropositive for parietal cell antibody but with adequate vitamin-B12 absorption, the level was also raised (476 ± 74 pg/ml). By contrast, in “simple” atrophic gastritis seronegative for parietal cell antibody the gastrin levels were significantly lower for both diffuse atrophic gastritis (129 ± 31 pg/ml) and multifocal gastritis (14 ± 4 pg/ml). These levels were similar to those in the controls (46 ± 7 pg/ml).The mechanism of the raised gastrin levels remains uncertain, but neither achlorhydria nor in vivo action of the parietal cell antibody wholly accounted for the hypergastrinaemia.We conclude that hypergastrinaemia is characteristic of gastritis associated with autoimmune reactions to gastric antigens and pernicious anaemia and that a raised serum gastrin is a useful marker of the type of gastritis that tends to progress to the gastric lesion of pernicious anaemia. The findings suggest that this type of gastritis is an essentially different disease from “simple” atrophic gastritis, and the differences in gastrin levels may be due to sparing of the antral mucosa in the autoimmune type but not in “simple” gastritis. 相似文献

A patient who had received multiple transfusions developed antiglobulin-positive haemolytic anaemia due to a delayed haemolytic transfusion reaction. Many cases of haemolytic anaemia after cardiac surgery could be explained on this basis. 相似文献

We report the human parvovirus (HPV) infection cases diagnosed in 1984 and 1985 in the virological laboratory of C.N.T.S. Detection of viral antigen and total anti-HPV antibodies was performed by electroimmunodiffusion, and specific IgM by antibody-capture-radioimmunoassay. Seven viraemias were found in 38,730 sera sent for detection of hepatitis A and B markers. Twenty-two observations of aplastic crisis are described, with underlying haemolytic anaemias in 21 cases. HPV infection was serologically proven in 4 cases out of 22 rubeolelike illness, and, in 17 cases out of 17 erythema infectiosum (fifth disease). Four cases of vascular purpura (one of which was Schonlein-Henoch purpura) were studied, and HPV antigen was isolated in 2 cases. An observation of arthropathies in a young adult is described. Finally, 2 spontaneous abortions were simultaneous to an HPV infection. Our study allows us to underline the following points: HPV is the principal (but not exclusive) agent of the aplastic crisis in chronic haemolytic anaemias; these acute erythroblastopenias can reveal an unknown haemolytic anaemia, in particular in hereditary spherocytosis; the polymorphism of the clinical expression of HPV infection is important. Some viraemias are asymptomatic, while others are accompanied by vascular purpura, or atypic erythema; HPV has never been isolated in the fifth disease. Nonetheless bringing out of specific IgM and association of HPV infection linked manifestations in a same patient or in a same family shows its responsibility in the fifth disease; HPV responsibility in spontaneous abortions and fetal malformations remains to be demonstrated. 相似文献

Regulation of megakaryocyte and platelet production remains poorly understood. In culture system two separate activities are needed for maximum production of megakaryocyte progenitors: promotor of clonal expansion and promoter of maturation, other growth factors and cells also contribute to regulation of megakaryocytopoiesis. Increased proliferation of megakaryocytes is observed in myeloproliferative disorders and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, and decreased proliferation is found in aplastic anaemia and hypomegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia. Dysmegakaryocytopoiesis is present in myelodysplastic syndromes and acute leukaemia, and a proliferation of immature megakaryocytes in acute megakaryoblastic leukaemia. Increased understanding of human megakaryocytopoiesis is beginning to help in rational clinical management. 相似文献

The development and role of international biological reference materials in the diagnosis of anaemia
Susan J. Thorpe 《Biologicals》2010,38(4):449-458
Anaemia is a major global health problem. Although the main cause is iron deficiency, anaemia also results from other nutritional deficiencies (folate and vitamin B12), haemolytic disorders including haemoglobinopathies, and bone marrow disorders. Accurate diagnosis of anaemia is dependent on reliable diagnostic tests and reference ranges, which in turn are dependent on effective standardisation. Standardisation is achieved through the availability of reference materials and reference measurement procedures. International biological reference materials have therefore been developed to standardise and control diagnostic tests for anaemia for a diverse range of analytes including total haemoglobin and haemoglobin types, ferritin, the serum transferrin receptor, serum vitamin B12 and folate, whole blood folate, and alloantibodies which mediate immune haemolytic anaemia. 相似文献

Normochromic or normocytic anaemia is a common side effect of treatment with cisplatin. Two patients treated with cisplatin 100 mg/m2 in combination with vinblastine, bleomycin, and actinomycin D developed haemolytic anaemia. Neither patient had evidence of haemolysis before treatment, and in both cases severe haemolytic anaemia developed after several courses of cisplatin and when the cancer had regressed almost completely. The importance of haemolysis in the development of anaemia after cisplatin treatment has not been investigated fully and further studies are needed. 相似文献

The number of DNA-synthesizing cells in the blood of patients with various disorders was studied autoradiographically after incubation of blood in vitro with [3H]thymidine. The DNA-synthesizing cells were cytologically assigned to the following categories: erythroid, myeloid, lymphoplasmacytoid and unidentifiable (monocytoid or blast-like) cells. The following patient categories were studied: mitral valvular disease (samples obtained from peripheral vein, pulmonary artery and left auricle), ‘autoimmune diseases’(systemic lupus erythematosus, schleroderma, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, immunohaemolytic anaemia), patients with depressed haemopoiesis (aplastic anaemia, nitrogen-mustard induced bone-marrow hypoplasia) and with increased haemopoiesis (haemolytic anaemia, pernicious anaemia before and during initial vitamin-B12 therapy, red-cell mass regeneration after haemorrhage or iron deficiency) and patients with bacterial infection. In all conditions studied, the number of labelled monocytoid and blast-like cells varied between 0 and 4/μl. Similarly, the number of labelled lympho-plasmo-cytoid cells was consistently low (0–8/μl) in all cases studied except two, where values of 37 and 63/μl were found. Both these patients had severe bacterial infections. The function(s) and potential(s) of these cells are discussed. The fate of the blast-like and monocytoid cells remains obscure. The lympho-plasmocytoid cells probably serve an immunological function, perhaps by disseminating immune responses. Whether or not some DNA-synthesizing cells in the blood are haemopoietic stem cells cannot be decided from the available evidence. 相似文献

A 4-fold increase of red blood cell adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity was found in a patient without haemolytic anaemia, but with mild anisopoikilocytosis. High-performance liquid chromatography showed a 40% reduction of adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) while all the other nucleotides were in normal ranges. The patient's parents (first cousins) and a brother displayed the same enzyme activities as the controls. This observation suggests that mild increases of ADA activity is neither a marker for congenital hypoplastic anaemia as previously reported nor associated with haemolytic anaemia. 相似文献

ObjectivesSevere aplastic anemia is characterized by a hypocellular bone marrow and peripheral cytopenia. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play a crucial role in haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) development and the development of microenvironment suitable for hematopoiesis. Molecular characterization of telomere maintenance pathway and gene expression profiling of MSCs can be important for the therapeutic interventions among paediatric aplastic anaemia patients.MethodsThe study involved paediatric aplastic anaemia patients (n = 10) and age matched paediatric healthy donors (n = 8). Peripheral blood samples were collected from the individuals. Average leucocyte telomere length and gene expression of the telomere maintenance genes were determined by quantitative real time PCR. Microarray based gene expression profiles (GSE33812) of MSCs for five paediatric aplastic anaemia patients were analyzed compared to five healthy controls and the data was downloaded from the GEO database.ResultsThe telomere length was significantly shorter among paediatric AA patients compared to age matched healthy donors. Interestingly, one subgroup (n = 2) of paediatric AA patients has moderate telomere length comparable to age matched healthy donors. Based on the gene expression analysis of telomere maintenance pathway, TERF2 was significantly downregulated among paediatric patients with shorter telomere length but not among paediatric patients with moderate telomere length. Gene expression profiling of MSCs revealed three differentially expressed genes (GAS2L3, MK167 and TMSB15A) among the patients and was associated with therapeutic outcome.ConclusionTelomere length estimation and gene expression patterns of the MSCs and telomere length maintenance pathway may serve as a potential biomarker and could be associated with therapeutic choice of paediatric aplastic anaemia patients. 相似文献

The hematological features of phenacetin-induced hemolytic anemia are presented in order to make the physician aware of the abnormalities which suggest the use of an oxidant drug. The presence of “bitten out” red cells is the commonest initial clue to the existence of drug-induced hemolytic anemia. The diagnosis is confirmed by the demonstration of Heinz bodies and sulfhemoglobinemia. Early recognition of this form of drug-abuse may avert the development or progression of analgesic nephropathy. 相似文献

Aplastic anaemia is rare as a primary feature of systemic lupus erythematosus and is more commonly a complication of treatment with cytotoxic drugs. Three years after starting treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus a 22-year-old woman developed bone-marrow depression. Azathioprine was thought to be responsible and was withdrawn. The aplastic anaemia worsened despite treatment with prednisolone. In view of clinical and serological evidence of lupus disease activity the patient was given high-dose intravenous cyclophosphamide and the aplastic anaemia responded in a sustained manner.In such cases of continued disease activity high-dose immunosuppressive agents may prove effective. 相似文献
