Thymus development and function are dependent on the definition of different and graded microenvironments that provide the maturing T cell with the different signals that drive its maturation to a functional T lymphocyte. In these processes, cell-cell interactions, cell migration, and positioning are clues for the correct functioning of the organ. The Eph family of receptor tyrosine kinases and their ligands, the ephrins, has been implicated in all these processes by regulating cytoskeleton and adhesion functioning, but a systemic analysis of their presence and possible functional role in thymus has not yet been conducted. In this regard, the current study combines different experimental approaches for analyzing the expression of four members of the Eph A family and their ligands, ephrins A, in the embryonic and adult rat thymus. The patterns of Eph and ephrin expression in the distinct thymic regions were different but overlapping. In general, the studied Eph A were expressed on thymic epithelial cells, whereas ephrins A seem to be more restricted to thymocytes, although Eph A1 and ephrin A1 are expressed on both cell types. Furthermore, the supply of either Eph A-Fc or ephrin A-Fc fusion proteins to fetal thymus organ cultures interferes with T cell development, suggesting an important role for this family of proteins in the cell mechanisms that drive intrathymic T cell development. 相似文献

Hybrids between a tumorigenic Chinese hamster cell line (DC3F-aza) and normal mouse thymus cells very rapidly lost most of their mouse chromosomes, whereas hybrids between tumorigenic mouse cell lines (either Cl.1D of L cell line origin, or PCC4-aza1 teratocarcinoma cells) and normal Chinese hamster thymus cells lost most of their hamster chromosomes. From three such fusion experiments, 20 cell lines were developed which all followed the same evolution, namely, the elimination of the majority of the chromosomes contributed by the normal thymus cell. In some hybrids, the elimination process resulted in the total absence of intact chromosomes contributed by the thymus cell parent. Such hybrids were distinguished from revertant parental cells growing in the selective hybrids were distinguished from revertant parental cells growing in the selective medium by the presence of at least one enzyme in their cell extracts which displayed the electrophoretic mobility of the enzyme of the thymus cell parent. These observations, together with data from other reports, suggest that, as a rule, interspecific cell hybrids which develop upon fusion between normal diploid cells and tumorigenic cell lines maintain the chromosomes of the latter and eliminate preferentially many or most of the chromosomes contributed by the normal cell parents, independent of the respective species of the parental cells. 相似文献

The very large family of Formin proteins is involved in processes such as morphogenesis, embryonic differentiation, cell polarity, and cytokinesis. A novel human gene from the Formin family, denominated human leukocyte formin gene, was cloned. The cDNA of the gene was determined to be 3959bp long with an open reading frame of 3302bp and computational analysis located this gene on chromosome 17, suggesting that it is composed of 27 exons. Northern blot analysis revealed a restricted expression of mRNA in the thymus, spleen, and peripheral blood leukocytes in normal human tissues. Western blot analysis demonstrated that the protein encoded by this gene is overexpressed in lymphoid malignancies; cancer cell lines and peripheral blood leukocyte from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. Furthermore, the human leukocyte formin protein was observed to associate with Akt, a critical survival regulator in many different cell types. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of novel suppressor T cell clones from murine fetal thymus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Murine fetal thymus from C57BL/6J (B6) and DBA/2J contains a cell population that suppresses CTL responses to alloantigens. This suppressor cell population was found to exist in high frequency in murine fetal thymus at the 14th day of gestation. The activity of this cell in the thymus declined rapidly with increasing time of gestation, and suppressor activity in the thymus was undetectable by the time of birth. On the other hand, suppressor activity could be detected in organ cultures of 14-day fetal thymus even after the organs were cultured for 14 or 21 days. Fetal thymocytes from B6 or DBA/2J mice were grown as long-term lines in interleukin 2 (IL 2)-containing medium. Clones of suppressor cells were derived from long-term cultures by micromanipulation. The clones had an average doubling time of 13 to 16 hr and were dependent on IL 2 for growth. The clones were 10- to 100-fold more efficient in suppressing CTL responses to alloantigens than day 15 fetal thymocytes. Analyses of cell surface molecules with the use of monoclonal antibodies and conventional anti-H-2 sera by radioactive binding assays showed that cloned suppressor cells from B6 fetal thymus were Thy-1 and Lyt-2+, and expressed little or no L3T4, Lyt-1, H-2K, H-2D, and class II molecules. The suppressor clones lacked the cytolytic activity of conventional CTL and also served as very poor target cells in CTL-mediated cytolysis. The suppressor function of the cloned cells was radiation-resistant, and this suppression could not be reversed by the addition of excess exogenous IL 2. The cloned cells suppressed CTL responses only when they were added within the first 48 hr of a 5-day culture period. Analyses of the antigen specificity of the suppressor cells showed that they suppressed CTL responses in a nonantigen-specific manner. 相似文献
