C型凝集素受体与抗真菌免疫

Toll样受体(TLR)的发现为研究病原生物的识别和免疫应答的起始开辟了新的视角,然而近期研究发现"非-TLR"受体在该过程尤其在抗真菌免疫中亦起着重要作用.其中研究甚为活跃的是C型凝集素受体(CLR)家族的一些成员,包括甘露糖受体、DC-SIGN、Dectin-1、Dectin-2及胶原凝集素.本文对这些受体在真菌识别、摄取、杀伤及其在宿主免疫反应的诱导和调节中所发挥的作用予以综述.     

C型凝集素

C型凝集素（C-type lectin）代表一个识别碳水化合物配体依赖于钙离子（Ca2＋）参与的糖原结合蛋白家族,含有一个或多个一级结构和二级结构同源的碳水化合物识别结构域。随着研究的深入,越来越多的C型凝集素能够识别体内的非糖类的配体,包括蛋白质和脂类等。这些C型凝集素在维持机体稳态、免疫防御以及免疫监视等重要生理病理过程中发挥着重要作用。就C型凝集素的结构、分类和在免疫系统中的功能作一介绍。

牛精细胞表面凝集素受体的研究

外源凝集素能与细胞表面相应的受体特异性的结合,并导致细胞凝集,因而外源凝集素可用作细胞膜结构的探针,用来研究细胞膜的结构与功能。近年应用外源凝集素对精细胞膜上糖蛋白和凝集素受体的数目与功能状态的研究已取得很大进展,采用异硫氰基荧光素(FITC)或辣根过氧化物酶等标记凝集素来测定膜上凝集素受体的定位与分布,研究认为精细胞膜上受体与受精作用有密切关系。本文报道用具有血型专一性或无血型专一性或FITC标记的凝集素研究牛精细胞膜上凝集素受体的分布结果。     

儿童朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增生症临床研究

目的:探讨观察儿童朗格汉斯细胞组织增生症临床治疗方案和效果。方法:选取我院2007年4月-2014年11月收治的儿童朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增生症65例,按随机数字表法分为观察组(32例)和对照组(33例)。对照组给予朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增生症-Ⅲ(LCH-Ⅲ)治疗方案,观察组给予难治性2008方案。观察两组患者临床疗效、复发率、并发症、生存率。结果:观察组完全缓解率显著高于对照组(P0.05),而两组患者的复发率和总有效率之间的差异无统计学意义(P0.05);两组治疗后9个月、12个月、24个月生存率差异无统计学意义(P0.05);观察组不良反应发生率为9.38%,对照组为24.24%,观察组稍低于对照组,但两组差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。结论:采用难治性2008方案治疗儿童朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增生症较LCH-Ⅲ方案疗效更佳,且远期生存率明显改善,还可减少不良反应,值得在临床治疗中推广应用。

树突状细胞C型凝集素DC-SIGN在人肾炎组织和肾小管上皮细胞表达

DC-SIGN(DC-specificICAM-grabbingnon-integrin,亦称CD209)属树突状细胞(DC)表面C型凝集素的膜蛋白。作为DC黏附及模式识别受体,其参与介导了DC的炎症组织迁移,识别捕获病原微生物,以及随后激活静息T细胞启动的免疫应答。为此观察了DC-SIGN及DC-SIGN DC在肾炎患者肾组织中表达和分布,以及DC-SIGN在炎性状态下培养人肾小管上皮细胞表达,探讨与肾小管间质炎症病变和损伤的关系。结果显示,DC-SIGN在正常肾组织基本不表达,而在肾炎早期即以肾小管上皮细胞为主表达上调,且随肾小管间质病变程度加重表达增强(P<0.01),与肾小管间质病变程度明显相关(P<0.01)。此外,DC-SIGN在经TNF-α刺激炎性状态下的人肾小管上皮细胞也明显表达。进一步发现,DC-SIGN DC在肾炎早期以肾间质为主分布聚集,也随肾小管间质病变程度加重明显增多(P<0.01),与肾小管间质病变程度显著相关(P<0.01),也与DC-SIGN表达相关联(P<0.01)。另外,DC-SIGN DC在肾小管间质分布数量与肾炎患者肾功能改变明显相关(P<0.05)。研究结果提示,DC-SIGN也是肾小管间质早期炎症的启动参与因素,其介导DC可能也参与了人肾炎肾小管间质的免疫损伤机制。

MBL与Raji细胞结合特性的研究

甘露聚糖结合凝集素(MBL)作为关键的天然免疫模式识别分子已得到共识,但其在获得性免疫应答中是否发挥作用目前尚不清楚.采用酶联免疫吸附试验分析MBL能否与Raii、THPI/CDl4、Jurkat和红细胞结合,并采用流式细胞术着重研究其与Raji细胞结合特性.结果显示:MBL以浓度依赖方式结合Raji、THP1/CDl4、Jurkat细胞,红细胞则否.MBL与Raji细胞结合是Ca2 依赖的,且能被甘露糖、葡萄糖、N-乙酰葡糖胺所抑制;Clq或抗ClqR单克隆抗体能部分抑制MBL与Raji细胞结合;重组人MBL-CRD蛋白或MBL-CLR蛋白均能抑制MBL与Raji细胞结合,两者联合应用则可完全阻断这种结合.研究资料表明,B淋巴细胞系Raji细胞表达Ca2 依赖性、糖敏感的MBL受体,包括对CLR特异和CRD特异的两种受体,前者为MBL和Clq的共同受体.进一步的功能研究显示,高浓度MBL(10-50mg/L)对Raji细胞的生长具有显著抑制作用,且呈剂量依赖关系.提示MBL作为一种重要的模式识别分子,不仅发挥天然免疫功能,而且可能在调节获得性免疫应答中起一定作用.     

Immunohistochemical Detection of Sialyl LeX Antigen on Mucosal Langerhans Cells of Human Oral Mucosa following Neuraminidase Pretreatment

Histochemical assessment of selected carbohydrate sequences on Langerhans cells of human oral mucosa was made by combined use of enzyme digestion and immunostain-ing with monoclonal antibodies against specific carbohydrate structures. In both frozen sections and epithelial sheets without the enzyme pretreatment, mucosal Langerhans cells, identified by positive staining with anti-CD1a and HLA-DR antibodies, did not express any carbohydrate antigens on their surface. In contrast, following neuraminidase pretreatment of both types of material, the fucosylated type 2 chain (Le^X) became detectable on Langerhans cells, indicating that sialic acid is the terminal residue of this sequence. Other enzymes were ineffective in this apparent unmasking, and the staining patterns of the other related carbohydrate sequences (Le^y. Le^a, Le^b) remained unaffected by pretreatment with any of the enzymes used. These findings suggest that the mucosal Langerhans cells possess a unique carbohydrate chain, the sialyl fucosylated type 2 sequence (sialyl Le^X antigen).

Antiproliferative Potential of Olneya tesota PF2 Lectin in Human Acute Monocytic Leukemia Cells

Acute monocytic leukemia is a type of myeloid leukemia that develops in monocytes. The current clinical therapies for leukemia are unsatisfactory due to their side effects and nonspecificity toward target cells. Some lectins display antitumor activity and may specifically recognize cancer cells by binding to carbohydrate structures on their surface. Therefore, this study evaluated the response of the human monocytic leukemia cell lines THP-1 to the Olneya tesota PF2 lectin. The induction of apoptosis and reactive oxygen species production in PF2-treated cells was evaluated by flow cytometry, and the lectin-THP-1 cell interaction and mitochondrial membrane potential were evaluated by confocal fluorescence microscopy. PF2 genotoxicity was evaluated by DNA fragmentation analysis via gel electrophoresis. The results showed that PF2 binds to THP-1 cells, triggers apoptosis and DNA degradation, changes the mitochondrial membrane potential, and increases reactive oxygen species levels in PF2-treated THP-1 cells. These results suggest the potential use of PF2 for developing alternative anticancer treatments with enhanced specificity.

稻胚中几种植物凝集素的内源受体

用4种不同的植物凝集素制成亲和吸附剂从成熟的稻胚中分离相应内源受体,发现“双丰1号”成熟稻胚中不合与麦胚凝集素(WGA)结合的物质,但含有少量与自身凝集素(S-RGL)和“寒丰”稻胚凝集素(K-RGL)结合的物质(0.1～0.2 mg/g胚),并含有较大量的与伴刀豆球蛋白(conA)结合的物质(1.0～1.5 mg/g胚)。用凝胶电泳分析受体组成,在低pH-不连续PAGE图谱中,conA受体有2条带,S-KGL和H-RGL受体均只有1条迁移率相同的带。SDS-IPAGE图谱显示,conA受体有7条多肽,S-RGL和H-RGL受体具有迁移率相同的8条多肽。说明两种受体的分子性质相同。     

CD44 Variant Isoforms are Essential for the Function of Epidermal Langerhans Cells and Dendritic Cells

Upon antigen encounter epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) and dendritic cells (DC) emigrate from peripheral organs and invade lymph nodes through the afferent lymphatic vessels and then assemble in the paracortical T cell zone and present antigen to T lymphocytes. Part of this process is mimicked by metastasizing tumor cells. Since splice variants of CD44 promote metastasis to lymph nodes we explored the expression of CD44 proteins on migrating LC and DC. We show that following antigen contact, LC and DC upregulate pan CD44 epitopes and epitopes encoded by variant exons v4, v5, v6 and v9. Antibodies against CD44 epitopes arrest LC in the epidermis, prevent the binding of activated LC and DC to the T cell zones of lymph nodes, and severely inhibit their capacity to induce a delayed type hypersensitivity reaction to a skin hapten in vivo. Our results demonstrate that CD44 splice variant expression is obligatory for the migration and function of LC and DC.
