Porcine small intestine submucosa (SIS) is not an acellular collagenous matrix and contains porcine DNA: possible implications in human implantation

Porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) has been recommended as a cell-free, biocompatible biomaterial for the repair of rotator cuff tendon tear. However, we have observed noninfectious edema and severe pain in patients who have undergone SIS implantation for tendon repair. The aim of this study was to conduct an independent assessment of the safety and efficacy of Restore SIS membrane. The Restore orthobiologic implant was examined by histology and the nested PCR technique using porcine immunoreceptor DAP12 gene to examine if SIS membrane contained porcine cells or DNA, respectively. The material was also implanted into mice and rabbits for the evaluation of biological reaction and inflammatory response. Restore SIS was found to contain multiple layers of porcine cells. Chloroacetate esterase staining showed that some of these cells were mast cells. Nested PCR of the DAP12 gene demonstrated that Restore SIS contained porcine DNA material. Subcutaneous implantation of Restore SIS membrane in mice, and in rabbits for rotator cuff tendon repair, showed that the membrane caused an inflammatory reaction characterized by massive lymphocyte infiltration. In conclusion, Restore SIS is not an acellular collagenous matrix, and contains porcine DNA. Our results contradict the current view that Restore SIS is a cell-free biomaterial, and that no inflammatory response is elicited by its implantation. We suggest that further studies should be conducted to evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of SIS implant biomaterials.     

Cloning and expression of MP13 gene from rat hippocampus, a new factor related to guanosine triphosphate regulation

C-Fos and the Fos-related antigens (FRA) are induced by various stimuli. A novel 35-37 kDa FRA was induced much longer after the treatment using kainic acid (KA) and may be very important for neuronal survival after brain damage. To identify this long-term FRA, we have constructed a cDNA library derived from hippocampus after KA treatment and screened it with an antibody highly conserved M-peptide region of FRAs. One gene, MP13, was cloned with a 1662 bp open reading frame and coded for a 554-amino acid protein. MP13 has a leucine zipper region, a glutamine repeat region, and has high similarity to the activator of the small guanosine triphosphate (GTP)ase Rab5. Gel retardation analysis revealed that MP13 functions as a GTP regulation related factor.

DQCAR 113 and DQCAR 115 in combination with HLA-DRB1 alleles are significant markers of susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis in the Korean population

We have investigated HLA region microsatellite polymorphisms in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) which are known to be associated with HLA class II alleles in the Korean population. Ninety patients with RA and 106 controls were employed for this study, in which TAP1CA, DQCAR, D6S273, HLA-DRB1, -DQA1 and -DQB1 allele typing were performed. DQCAR 113 (RR = 3.2, P<0.0002), DQCAR 115 (RR = 3.6, P<0.0001) and heterozygous DQCAR 113/115 (RR = 11.2, P<0.0001) frequencies were significantly increased in the RA group compared with the control group. The HLA-DRB1 genotypes of patients who had DQCAR 113/115 alleles were defined as DRB1*04 and/or DRB1*09. There was no significant difference between RA and controls in D6S273 and TAP1CA allele frequencies. We demonstrated that HLA-DRB1*0405 (RR = 6.6, P<10(-6)), DQA1*03 (RR = 5.2, P<10(-6)), DQB1*04 (RR = 3.5, P<0.002) alleles were useful markers of susceptibility to RA in Koreans. The frequency of HLA-DRB1*0405 was higher in DQCAR 113 allele-positive RA (68.1%) than in DQCAR 113 allele-negative (16.3%) and total RA (43.3%) groups, and the susceptibility risk of DQCAR 113 allele to RA was more increased in the DRB1*0405-positive group (RR = 5.5, P<0.04). On the other hand, DQCAR 115 allele was more significantly associated with susceptibility to RA in HLA-DRB1*0405-negative patients (RR = 5.1, P<0.0005), and the association between RA and HLA-DRB1*0405 was also significantly associated with DQCAR 115 allele-negative patients (RR = 13.2, P<0.00001) as compared with DQCAR 115 allele-negative control groups. HLA-DRB1*0405-DQA1*03-DQCAR113-DQB1*03 haplotype showed high relative risk value (RR= 17.7, P<0.0002). In conclusion, the DQCAR allele in combination with HLA class II, especially DR, is probably a useful risk marker for RA susceptibility in the Korean population.
