Background
Recent studies show the importance of interactions between CD47 expressed on acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells and the inhibitory immunoreceptor, signal regulatory protein-alpha (SIRPα) on macrophages. Although AML cells express SIRPα, its function has not been investigated in these cells. In this study we aimed to determine the role of the SIRPα in acute myeloid leukemia.Design and Methods
We analyzed the expression of SIRPα, both on mRNA and protein level in AML patients and we further investigated whether the expression of SIRPα on two low SIRPα expressing AML cell lines could be upregulated upon differentiation of the cells. We determined the effect of chimeric SIRPα expression on tumor cell growth and programmed cell death by its triggering with an agonistic antibody in these cells. Moreover, we examined the efficacy of agonistic antibody in combination with established antileukemic drugs.Results
By microarray analysis of an extensive cohort of primary AML samples, we demonstrated that SIRPα is differentially expressed in AML subgroups and its expression level is dependent on differentiation stage, with high levels in FAB M4/M5 AML and low levels in FAB M0–M3. Interestingly, AML patients with high SIRPα expression had a poor prognosis. Our results also showed that SIRPα is upregulated upon differentiation of NB4 and Kasumi cells. In addition, triggering of SIRPα with an agonistic antibody in the cells stably expressing chimeric SIRPα, led to inhibition of growth and induction of programmed cell death. Finally, the SIRPα-derived signaling synergized with the activity of established antileukemic drugs.Conclusions
Our data indicate that triggering of SIRPα has antileukemic effect and may function as a potential therapeutic target in AML. 相似文献2.

Multicellular plants depend for their integrity on effective adhesion between their component cells. This adhesion depends upon various cross-links; ionic, covalent or weak interactions between the macromolecules of the adjacent cell walls. In sugar-beet ( Beta vulgaris L. Aztec) root parenchyma, cell-cell adhesion is disrupted by successive extractions with a calcium-chelating agent (imidazole) and a de-esterifying agent (sodium carbonate) but not by the calcium-chelating agent or the de-esterifying agent alone. Cell-cell adhesion in sugar-beet parenchyma thus depends upon both ester and Ca2+ cross-linked polymers. Pectic polysaccharides are removed by these treatments. Both parallel-electron energy-loss spectroscopy (PEELS) and Image-EELS show that calcium-binding sites are removed from the wall by imidazole. Using a monoclonal antibody that recognizes a relatively unesterified epitope of homogalacturonan, JIM 5, we show that a subset of JIM 5-reactive antigens remain in the middle lamella after Ca2+ chelation and that this subset is removed by cold (4° C) Na2 CO3 -induced breakage of ester bonds. Fourier transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and spectrophotometric assays show that methyl and feruloyl esters are removed from the wall by Na2 CO3 but acetyl esters remain. Sodium carbonate extraction at 20° C removes cell wall autofluorescence and most of the feruloylated moieties from the wall. We propose that the chelator-resistant subset of ester-linked JIM 5-reactive pectins are important for cell-cell adhesion. 相似文献

To develop a model system for studies of homologous recombination in plants, transgenic Nicotiana tabacum and Nicotiana plumbaginifolia lines were generated harbouring a single target T-DNA containing the negative selective codA gene encoding cytosine deaminase (CD) and the β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene. Subsequently, the target lines were transformed with a replacement-type T-DNA vector in which the CD gene and the GUS promoter had been replaced with a kanamycin-resistance gene. For both Nicotiana species kanamycin-resistant lines were selected which had lost the CD gene and the GUS activity. One tobacco line was the result of a precise gene targeting event. However, most other lines were selected due to a chromosomal deletion of the target locus. The deletion frequency of the target locus varied between target lines, and could be present in up to 20% of the calli which were grown from leaf protoplasts. T-DNA transfer was not required for induction of the deletions, indicating that the target loci were unstable. A few lines were obtained in which the target locus had been deleted partially. Sequence analysis of the junctions revealed deletion of DNA sequences between microhomologies. We conclude that T-DNAs, which are stable during plant development as well as in transmission to the offspring, may become unstable during propagation in callus tissue. The relationships between callus culture, genetic instability and the process of T-DNA integration and deletion in the plant genome are discussed. 相似文献

αβ T cells and γδ T cells perform nonoverlapping immune functions. In mammalian species with a high percentage of very diverse
γδ T cells, like ruminants and pigs, it is often assumed that αβ T cells are less diverse than γδ T cells. Based on the bovine
genome, we have created a map of the bovine TRA/TRD locus and show that, in cattle, in addition to the anticipated >100 TRDV
genes, there are also >300 TRAV or TRAV/DV genes. Among the V genes in the TRA/TRD locus, there are several genes that lack
a CDR2 and are functionally rearranged and transcribed and, in some cases, have an extended CDR1. The number of bovine V genes
is a multiple of the number in mice and humans and may encode T cell receptors that use a novel way of interacting with antigen.

The genetics of partial resistance (PR) of lettuce to the leaf aphid species Macrosiphum euphorbiae and Uroleucon sonchi was studied in F1 and F2 generations of six crosses between four cultivars. Partial resistance inherited mainly additively. With M. euphorbiae the estimates of broad-sense F2 heritability were low and non-significant in crosses between parents of the same resistance level (S x S and PR x PR), and high (0.69-0.76) in crosses between parents of different resistance level (PR x S). The level of resistance in lettuce cultivars ‘Charan’ and ‘Marbello’ led to a marked reduction in percentage of plants with colonies of M. euphorbiae in a field experiment. With U. sonchi the highest estimates of F2 heritability were found in ‘Charan x ‘Avoncrisp’ (0.51) and ‘Charan’ x ‘Chou de Naples' (0.48). In the cross ‘Charan’ x ‘Marbello’ (PR x PR) no significant segregation for resistance to M. euphorbiae was found, indicating that these cultivars may have the same genetic constitution for resistance to M. euphorbiae.‘Charan’ has additional genes for resistance to U. sonchi, that are not, or only weakly linked to the gene(s) for resistance to M. euphorbiae. The heritability estimates for the partial resistance to M. euphorbiae and U. sonchi indicate that it is possible to effectively select for these traits in plant breeding programmes. 相似文献

MHC class I molecules expressed on cell surfaces are composed of H chain, beta2-microglobulin and any of a vast array of peptides. The role of peptide in the recognition of HLA class I by serum HLA Abs is unknown. In this study, the solid-phase assay of a series (n = 11) of HLA-A2-reactive, pregnancy-induced, human mAbs on a panel (n = 12) of recombinant monomeric HLA-A2 molecules, each containing a single peptide, revealed peptide selectivity of the mAbs. The flow cytometry membrane staining intensities on the HLA-A2-transduced cell line K562, caused by these mAbs, correlated with the number of monomer species detected by the mAbs. Flow cytometry staining on HLA-A2-bearing cell lines of a variety of lineages was indicative of tissue selectivity of these HLA-A2 mAbs. This tissue selectivity suggests that the deleterious effect on allografts is confined to alloantibodies recognizing only HLA class I loaded with peptides that are derived from tissue-specific and household proteins. Since Abs that are only reactive with HLA loaded with irrelevant peptides are expected to be harmless toward allografts, the practice of HLA Ab determination on lymphocyte-derived HLA deserves reconsideration. 相似文献
