Serum samples from non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients who had not undergone chemotherapy, lymphnoditis patients, and healthy adults were analyzed using surface-enhanced laser desorption–ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF MS) to detect the differentially expressed serum proteins. Models were developed to distinguish between the healthy adult group and the NHL group, with a sensitivity of 69% and specificity of 90%, and between the lymphnoditis group and the NHL group with a sensitivity of 74% and specificity of 84%. A protein with the m/ z of M10 197.91 u was expressed at a significantly higher level in the NHL group, compared to the other groups. Furthermore, differences were also significant among different stages of NHL and among samples with different International Prognosis Index (IPI) scores or lactase dehydrogenase (LDH) levels. The three identified proteins may offer a new serological approach for early diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and pathogenic investigation of NHL. And the protein with the m/ z of M10 197.91 u may be a new serological biomarker for monitoring treatment response and evaluating the prognosis of patients with NHL. 相似文献

Agammaglobulinemia is characterized by failure of B-cell differentiation (hypogammaglobulinemia) and increased susceptibility to bacterial infections. The present study was set up in order to evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment on the incidence of pneumonia in patients with agammaglobulinemia. We carried out chart reviews of 23 patients with agammaglobulinemia (mean age 11.5+/-5.4 years), who had been observed in a 22-year period (July 1981-January 2003) in Iran's referral center for primary immunodeficiency disorders. Nineteen of these 23 (82.5%) had been infected with pneumonia at least once before receiving the immunoglobulin treatment and 11 of them had experienced multiple episodes. During treatment with gamma-globulin - over a mean period of 6.8+/-4.1 years (range: 0.8-15.3 years) - the incidence of pneumonia requiring treatment or hospitalization decreased from 0.82 to 0.12 per patient per year (P=0.006). During IVIG replacement, hospitalization due to pneumonia decreased from 0.58 to 0.05 per patient per year (P=0.08) and the immunoglobulin G level (mean+/-S.D.) changed from 66.2+/-63.9 (range: 0-210 mg dl(-1)) to 552.4+/-199.1 (range: 136-942 mg dl(-1)) (P<0.001). Treatment of agammaglobulinemia with IVIG significantly reduced the incidence of pneumonia and hospital admission. Intensive management and regular monitoring is required in order to fully prevent severe respiratory complications. 相似文献

The pathogenesis of coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) formation in Kawasaki disease (KD) remains unknown. However, inflammatory cytokines are thought to play an important role in KD. Patients with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)-resistant KD are more likely to develop CAA. For such refractory patients, steroids and emerging infliximab (IFX) are used; however, further verification is required for their efficacy and safety. Plasma exchange (PE), which removes various inflammatory cytokines, has been used in Japan for over 15 years to prevent CAA in IVIG-resistant KD patients. The sequential change in inflammatory cytokines during the time course of PE has yet to be investigated. In this study, we measured plasma levels of 13 cytokines in nine children with IVIG-resistant KD before the start of PE (day 0: D0), as well as at 1 or 2 days (D1/2), and 4 or 5 days (D4/5) after starting PE. The median age of onset was 8 months (range: 3–53 months). Before PE, patients were treated with IVIG (median dose: 4 g/kg, range: 3–4 g/kg). The median starting period of PE was 8 days after the onset of fever (range: 6–21 days), while its duration was 3 days (range: 2–5 days). Among the 13 cytokines, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, tumor necrosis factor receptor I (TNFR1), TNFR2, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and IL-17 were significantly lower at D4/5 compared with D0 and/or D1/2, reflecting the potential central efficacy of PE. While three patients developed moderate CAA, their condition regressed within 1 year. The removal of inflammatory cytokines could be the central efficacy of PE against refractory KD. 相似文献

Antibodies to the anti-oxidative peroxiredoxin (Prx) enzymes occur in both systemic autoimmune disease and vasculitis in adulthood. Because increased oxidative stress induces vasculitis in Kawasaki disease (KD), autoimmunity to Prxs in patients with KD was investigated. The presence of antibodies to Prx 1, 2 and 4 was analyzed by ELISA and Western blot. Of 30 patients with KD, 13 (43.3%) possessed antibodies to Prx 2, whereas these antibodies were present in only 1 of 10 patients (10.0%) with sepsis (4 with purulent meningitis and 6 with septicemia). In contrast, antibodies to Prx 1 and 4 were not detected in either group. There was no significant correlation among the titers of the three antibodies. Clinical parameters were compared between anti-Prx 2-positive and -negative patients. The presence of anti-Prx 2 antibodies correlated with a longer period of fever and poor response to high-dose γ-globulin therapy in patients with KD. Anti-Prx 2-positive patients had significantly greater excretion of urinary 8-isoprostaglandin than did anti-Prx 2-negative patients. These results provide the first evidence for an antibody to Prx 2 in patients with KD. They also suggest that this antibody might serve as a marker of disease severity and be involved in the pathophysiology of vasculitis in some patients with KD. 相似文献

In our previous study, we used a comparative proteomic approach based on 2DE to profile dynamic proteomes of cotton fibers and found 235 protein spots differentially expressed during the elongation process ranging from 5 to 25 days post‐anthesis. Of them, only 106 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified by MS due to database limitations at the time. In the present work, we successfully identified the remaining 129 DEPs from the same experimental system using high‐resolution MS with an updated database. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that proteins involved in carbohydrate and protein metabolism, transport, and redox homeostasis are the most abundant, and glycolysis was found to be the most significantly regulated process during fiber elongation. Our high‐confidence reference dataset, composed of 235 DEPs, provides a valuable resource for future studies on the molecular mechanism of cotton fiber elongation. 相似文献

Therapy with intravenous immunoglobulin preparations has been used effectively in a wide range of conditions. Although generally well tolerated, intravenous immunoglobulin preparations may be associated with transient hypotension in some patients. This study examined the role of different immunoglobulin G fractions in the development of intravenous immunoglobulin-induced hypotension in an anaesthetized rat model and assessed the effects of a new liquid immunoglobulin prepared at a low pH on both the formation of immunoglobulin G dimers and the development of hypotension. The effects of this new preparation in an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis model were also evaluated.Results from the haemodynamic studies indicated that immunoglobulin G dimers in polyclonal immunoglobulin G are responsible for the hypotensive events associated with some immunoglobulin preparations. They also showed that adjustment to an acidic pH results in the rapid dissociation of immunoglobulin G dimers and prevents the development of hypotension. Additional experiments demonstrated that only immunoglobulin G dimers with a functional Fc fragment can bind to Fcgamma receptors on macrophages to induce the release of blood pressure-lowering mediators. Moreover, essentially monomeric Fc fragments can block the blood pressure-lowering effects of immunoglobulin G dimers.Preparation of a new liquid intravenous immunoglobulin with the pH adjusted to 4.3 prevents the formation of immunoglobulin G dimers even over long-term storage and does not significantly affect blood pressure in a rat model. This preparation is as effective as other intravenous immunoglobulin preparations in ameliorating symptoms of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. These results, like those from previous studies, indicate that preparation of intravenous immunoglobulin at a low pH substantially reduces immunoglobulin G dimerization; this effect significantly decreases the potential for intravenous immunoglobulin to induce hypotension without reducing its clinically relevant biological activity. 相似文献

ObjectiveKawasaki disease (KD) is a severe inflammatory disease that occurs in childhood. Recently, the initial corticosteroid therapy for KD has been reconsidered because its efficacy is controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the dynamic change in endogenous glucocorticoid levels and their relation with 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD) activity in the acute phase of KD. Study designSixteen KD patients were investigated. Cortisol and cortisone levels, the cortisol/cortisone ratio and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were measured on admission, before the first intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy and convalescence. ResultsThe 16 patients were divided into two groups. Group A included patients who received the first IVIG on admission and blood samples were collected before the first IVIG and convalescence. Group B included patients whose blood samples were collected at three different time points (on admission, before the first IVIG, and convalescence). CRP and cortisol levels and the cortisol/cortisol ratio were markedly higher before the first IVIG than those of convalescence in all patients except in one patient. In Group B patients, both serum cortisol levels and the cortisol/cortisone ratio on admission were significantly increased compared with those before the first IVIG (cortisol: p < 0.005, cortisol/cortisone: p < 0.001). ConclusionsDecreases in cortisol levels and the cortisol/cortisone ratio before the first IVIG may be explained by a reduction in adrenal secretion and/or local glucocorticoid action through 11β-HSD activity. These findings suggest that exogenous glucocorticoid treatment in combination with the first IVIG at the acute stage may play a synergetic role in KD. 相似文献

Background Kawasaki disease (KD) is a multisystemic angiitis, and its most disastrous complication is coronary artery lesions (CALs). Recently, the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in KD has been reported. rs1814343 is a lncRNA, but the relationship between the lncRNA rs1814343 polymorphism and KD risk remains elusive. Methods We enrolled 1625 Kawasaki disease patients (583 patients with CAL and 1042 without CAL) and 1000 healthy controls from a southern Chinese population. We genotyped the rs1814343 C > T polymorphism in KD and control patients using the TaqMan method. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to estimate the strength of the association. Results There was no significant association between the lncRNA rs1814343 C > T polymorphism and KD susceptibility. However, we stratified patients in this study by CAL and sex. First, compared with the control groups, we found that the rs1814343 genotype increased risk for KD patients with CAL (TT vs. CC + CT: OR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.08–1.71, p = 0.009). Moreover, when KD patients were stratified by CAL, the TT genotypes of this lncRNA polymorphism contributed to a relatively higher occurrence of KD with CAL than that was found in the CC/CT genotype patients (TT vs. CC + CT: OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.07–1.69, p = 0.011). In addition, our research suggested that the TT variant genotype in the lncRNA rs1814343 had an obvious risk of KD with CAL susceptibility in male children. Conclusion The lncRNA rs1814343 C > T polymorphism was related to higher susceptibility of KD with CAL. 相似文献

Kawasaki disease is a multi-systemic vasculitis that generally occurs in children and that can lead to coronary artery lesions. Recent studies showed that Kawasaki disease has an important genetic component. In this review, we discuss the single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes encoding proteins with a role in intracellular Ca 2+ signaling: inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase C, caspase-3, the store-operated Ca 2+-entry channel ORAI1, the type-3 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor, the Na +/Ca 2+ exchanger 1, and phospholipase Cß4 and Cß1. An increase of the free cytosolic Ca 2+ concentration is proposed to be a major factor in susceptibility to Kawasaki disease and disease outcome, but only for polymorphisms in the genes encoding the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase C and the Na +/Ca 2+ exchanger 1, the free cytosolic Ca 2+ concentration was actually measured and shown to be increased. Excessive cytosolic Ca 2+ signaling can result in hyperactive calcineurin in T cells with an overstimulated nuclear factor of activated T cells pathway, in hypersecretion of interleukin-1ß and tumor necrosis factor-α by monocytes/macrophages, in increased urotensin-2 signaling, and in an overactivation of vascular endothelial cells. 相似文献

Kawasaki disease is a multisystemic vasculitis that can result in coronary artery lesions. It predominantly affects young children and is characterized by prolonged fever, diffuse mucosal inflammation, indurative oedema of the hands and feet, a polymorphous skin rash and non‐suppurative lymphadenopathy. Coronary artery involvement is the most important complication of Kawasaki disease and may cause significant coronary stenosis resulting in ischemic heart disease. The introduction of intravenous immunoglobulin decreases the incidence of coronary artery lesions to less than 5%. The etiopathogenesis of this disease remains unclear. Several lines of evidence suggest that an interplay between a microbial infection and a genetic predisposition could take place in the development of the disease. In this review, we summarize the state of the art of pathogenetic mechanisms of Kawasaki disease underscoring the relevance of haematological features as a novel field of investigation. 相似文献

There is a heterogeneous group of rare illnesses that fall into the vasculitis category and are characterized mostly by blood vessel inflammation. Ischemia and disrupted blood flow will cause harm to the organs whose blood arteries become inflamed. Kawasaki disease (KD) is the most prevalent kind of vasculitis in children aged 5 years or younger. Because KD's cardiovascular problems might persist into adulthood, it is no longer thought of as a self-limiting disease. KD is a systemic vasculitis with unknown initiating factors. Numerous factors, such as genetic predisposition and infectious pathogens, are implicated in the etiology of KD. As endothelial cell damage and inflammation can lead to coronary endothelial dysfunction in KD, some studies hypothesized the crucial role of pyroptosis in the pathogenesis of KD. Additionally, pyroptosis-related proteins like caspase-1, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), proinflammatory cytokines like IL-1 and IL-18, lactic dehydrogenase, and Gasdermin D (GSDMD) have been found to be overexpressed in KD patients when compared to healthy controls. These occurrences may point to an involvement of inflammasomes and pyroptotic cell death in the etiology of KD and suggest potential treatment targets. Based on these shreds of evidence, in this review, we aim to focus on one of the well-defined inflammasomes, NLRP3, and its role in the pathophysiology of KD. 相似文献
