To investigate the requirements for CD2 expression in the activation of T lymphocytes via the CD3-TCR complex, we produced and characterized a series of CD2-variants of the IL-2 producing Jurkat leukemia cell line, J32 (surface phenotype, CD2+, CD3+, CD28+). These mutants were derived by radiation and immunoselection, and were cloned under limiting dilution conditions. A total of 3 out of 30 of these mutants selectively lost the expression of both CD2 surface molecules and CD2 mRNA, and retained the expression of the CD3-TCR complex and the CD28 molecule. A mitogenic combination of anti-CD2 antibodies (9.6 + 9-1) failed to stimulate activation of these variants as measured by mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ and by IL-2 production. The CD2- mutants stimulated with anti-CD3 or anti-TCR mAb revealed an 8- to 32-fold decrease in IL-2 production and IL-2 mRNA accumulation as compared with the parental cells. No alteration of CD3-TCR-induced mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ was observed in the CD2- mutants. Reconstitution of CD2 expression by gene transfer in two J32 CD2- mutants restored IL-2 production and IL-2 mRNA accumulation in responses to both anti-CD2 and anti-CD3-TCR mAb. These results are the first direct demonstration of the requirement for CD2 molecules in optimizing IL-2 response in human T cells stimulated via CD3-TCR complex. 相似文献

Contribution of "bobbed" phenotype to the magnification of ribosomal DNA in Drosophila melanogaster]
M Makni N Prud'Homme M Marrakchi 《Comptes rendus des séances de la Société de biologie et de ses filiales》1992,186(1-2):112-124
Phenotype and magnification of two bobbed mutations allelic to the XNO region were studied at various temperatures. Results showed that magnification increases with increased severity of bobbed phenotype in that the reversion of the bbT6 allele is the same at high and low temperature whereas the thermosensitive bbP5 allele shows increased reversion at high temperature. Temperature shift experiments carried out during the development of premagnified males show that magnification which is followed by selection stage occurs during embryogenesis. 相似文献

We report on the effectiveness of molecular studies regarding Fanconi anemia (FA) for a better selection of bone marrow graft donors and for post-transplant follow up. Ten unrelated FA patients and their families were analyzed by microsatellite markers. In 9 cases, the cytogenetic investigation of potential human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical related donors was normal, and the molecular analyses confirmed that they were also either normal or heterozygous carriers. For 1 patient, cytogenetic analysis of an HLA-identical sibling donor yielded ambiguous results with a relatively high number of chromosomal breakages using cross-linking agents. However, genotyping of this potential donor demonstrated his heterozygous state. Nine patients have received allogeneic bone marrow transplantation from HLA-matched related donors. Microsatellite analysis showed complete chimerism (CC) in all cases. The median follow up was 54 months (range 8-144 months). One patient out of 9 with CC rejected her graft without prior detection of a transitional mixed chimerism. Among these patients, 1 died 25 months after the transplantation of a chronic graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). We conclude that, when the cytogenetic studies are not conclusive, molecular analyses are crucial to distinguish heterozygous carriers from asymptomatic FA Tunisian patients. Molecular analyses also allowed the evaluation of hematopoietic chimerism after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and might be of value to identify patients with a high risk for graft rejection. 相似文献

In order to study the association of HLA-A, -B and/or DRB1, DQB1 and the nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), 141 patients affected
with NPC were typed for the HLA class I by serology method of microlymphocytotoxicity. Among these patients 101 were genotyped
for HLA class II system by the PCR-SSP technique. HLA typing results were compared to those of 116 controls. We found that
the HLA-A31 and -A33 antigens were significantly more expressed in patients than in the controls (P = 0.016 and 0.010, respectively) and the HLA-A19 antigen, was significantly more frequent in patients when compared to the
controls (P = 0.007). The HLA-DRB1*03 and DRB1*13 alleles were significantly more frequent in patients as compared to the controls. The
DRB1*01 allele was expressed with a frequency of 20.69% in the controls whereas it was only detected in 3.96% of the NPC patients.
Furthermore, the DQB1*05 allele was expressed at a frequency which was significantly less important in affected patient (P = 0.03), whereas, the DQB1*02 allele was more frequent in patients (P = 0.643 × 10−4). Thus our study revealed a significant increase of HLA-A31, A33, A19, B16, B53 and DRB1*03, DRB1*13 and DQB1*02 alleles
in our patients. These markers could play a predisposing role in the development of NPC. In contrast, a decrease of HLA-B14,
-B35 and DRB1*01 and DQB1*05 alleles was found suggesting a likely protective effect. 相似文献

Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs), including Graves' disease (GD) and autoimmune hypothyroidism (AH), are inherited as complex traits. Among the genes contributing to AITDs susceptibility are genes of the IL-1 family. IL-1 regulates T and B lymphocyte maturation, including the induction of several cytokines and cytokine receptors. Therefore, disturbances of this balance may not only play a role in inflammation but also in the pathogenesis of autoimmunity. In order to investigate genetic association of IL-1 gene polymorphisms with AITDs, we performed both a familial study in a large Tunisian pedigree with high prevalence of AITDs (64 patients and 176 controls), and a case-control study (131 GD unrelated patients and 225 healthy controls). PCR and PCR-RFLP methods were used to analyse respectively a VNTR in the IL-1RN gene and three SNPs in both IL-1B genes (-511 C/T and +3954 C/T) and IL-1A (-889 C/T). The family-based association study showed an association of the IL-1B+3954 C/T polymorphism (p=0.02) and two haplotypes IL-1RN*3/C/T/T and IL-1RN*1/C/T/T (p=0.009 and p=0.047 respectively) with AITDs. The case-control study is the first study revealing a significant association of the IL-1A-889 C/T polymorphism (chi2=10.23; p=0.0014) with susceptibility to GD. Our data suggest that the IL-1 gene cluster may harbour susceptibility genes for AITDs and GD pathogenesis in the Tunisian population. 相似文献

Excess chromium (Cr) exposure is associated with various pathological conditions including hematological dysfunction. The
generation of oxidative stress is one of the plausible mechanisms behind Cr-induced cellular deteriorations. The efficacy
of selenium (Se) to combat Cr-induced oxidative damage in the erythrocytes of adult rats was investigated in the current study.
Female Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups of six each: group I served as controls which received standard
diet, group II received in drinking water K2Cr2O7 alone (700 ppm), group III received both K2Cr2O7 and Se (0.5 Na2SeO3 mg/kg of diet), and group IV received Se (0.5 mg/kg of diet) for 3 weeks. Rats exposed to K2Cr2O7 showed an increase of malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl levels and a decrease of sulfhydryl content, glutathione, non-protein
thiol, and vitamin C levels. A decrease of enzyme activities like catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase
activities was also noted. Co-administration of Se with K2Cr2O7 restored the parameters cited above to near-normal values. Therefore, our investigation revealed that Se was a useful element
preventing K2Cr2O7-induced erythrocyte damages. 相似文献

Allelic structure and distribution of 103 STR loci in a Southern Tunisian population 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Genotypes of 103 short tandem repeat (STR) markers distributed at an average of 40 cM intervals throughout the genome were
determined for 40 individuals from the village of BirEl Hfai (BEH). This village of approximately 31.000 individuals is localized
in the south-west of Tunisia. The allele frequency distributions in BEH were compared with those obtained for individuals
in the CEPH (Centre d’Etude du Polymorphisme Humain) data using a Kolmo-gorov-Smirnov two-sample test. Fourteen out of the
103 markers (13.2%) showed significant differences (P<0.05) in distribution between the two populations. Population heterogeneity in BEH was indicated by an excess of observed
homozygosity deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at 3 loci (P<0.0005). No evidence for genotypic disequilibrium was found for any of the marker pairs. This demonstrated that in spite
of a high inbreeding level in the population, few markers showed evidence for a different pattern of allelic distribution
compared to CEPH. 相似文献

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disease of steroid biosynthesis in humans. More than 90% of all CAH cases are caused by mutations of the 21-hydroxylase gene (CYP21A2), and approximately 75% of the defective CYP21A2 genes are generated through an intergenic recombination with the neighboring CYP21A1P pseudogene. In this study, the CYP21A2 gene was genotyped in 50 patients in Tunisia with the clinical diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency. CYP21A2 mutations were identified in 87% of the alleles. The most common point mutation in our population was the pseudogene specific variant p.Q318X (26%). Three novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci were identified in the CYP21A2 gene which seems to be specific for the Tunisian population. The overall concordance between genotype and phenotype was 98%. With this study the molecular basis of CAH has been characterized, providing useful results for clinicians in terms of prediction of disease severity, genetic and prenatal counseling. 相似文献

The authors present a retrospective study of 287 pulmonary cytologic exams censed in Pasteur Institute - Tunis between 1970 and 1986. These 287 exams consist of 145 bronchic aspiration liquids and 142 spittles. A systematic exam was practiced in patients presenting a pulmonary symptomatology suggesting little or not at all broncho pulmonary cancer. 40 of these exams present cancerous cells (15 cases) or suspected cancerous cells (25 cases). The biopsy confirms a malignant tumor in 25 patients (5%). These results should urge us toward a cytologic exam not only in adults presenting any respiratory symptomatology, but also in subjects at high risk, especially smokers. Localising the tumor is necessary for the biopsy. This biopsy will lead us to determine the histologic type and consequently the adequate therapy. 相似文献
