Selected monoclonal antibodies can increase the accuracy of cytodiagnosis of neoplastic effusions of cryptic origin expanded in a short term culture.

The use of a selected panel of monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) to tumor associated antigens (TAA) in immunocytochemical (IIC) tests has been shown, in a preliminary study, to be a powerful diagnostic tool for the identification of the primary solid tumor causing metastatic effusion. Despite this improvement in a minority of neoplastic fluids a number of different causes may still determine false negative (FN) immunocytochemical diagnoses. The aim of the present study was to confirm the diagnostic accuracy of this panel of MoAb. This was done by analyzing in IIC tests a larger number of effusions and by evaluating whether the expansion in short term culture of those fluids with an uncertain malignant morphology could provide an adequate cellular substrate for immunocytodiagnosis. The analysis of 314 effusions confirmed the results of the pilot study and demonstrated that the combination of short term culture and immunocytochemical assays can further increase the sensitivity of this novel diagnostic procedure from 84.3% to 95.3%.

Immunohistochemical localization of tissue factor pathway inhibitor-1 (TFPI-1), a Kunitz proteinase inhibitor, in Alzheimer''s disease

Senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are composed principally of Aβ, a 4 kDa fragment of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Longer forms of APP which contain a Kunitz proteinase inhibitor (KPI) domain are elevated in aged and in AD brains. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor-1 (TFPI) contains three tandem KPI domains and has been well characterized for its role as a natural anticoagulant in the extrinsic coagulation pathway. Functionally, the first two KPI domains of TFPI bind and inhibit the activity of factor Xa and VIIa respectively. In addition, TFPI and APP-KPI share a common clearance mechanism through the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP). As part of an ongoing study of the role of KPI-containing proteins in AD, the current study examines TFPI localization in the brain. We report here that TFPI is immunohistochemically localized to microglia in both AD and non-AD individuals and is localized to some senile plaques in AD. Western blot analyses indicate that the amount of TFPI is elevated in frontal cortex samples from AD brains. We propose that TFPI may play a cell specific role in proteinase regulation in the brain.

Role of β2 integrins in glomerular leucocytes in Henoch-Schoenlein purpura nephritis: an age-matched comparative study with immunoglobulin A nephropathy

SUMMARY: A comparative immunohistological study was performed for the glomerular deposition of complements (C1q and C3c), fibrin/fibrinogen‐related antigen (FRA), the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 (ICAM‐1), and the infiltration of leucocytes bearing β₂ integrins (leucocyte function associated antigen‐1 (LFA‐1), complement receptor 3 (CR3) and complement receptor 4 (CR4)) on renal biopsy specimens from 49 cases with Henoch‐Schoenlein purpura nephritis (HSPN), and 49 age‐matched cases with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). the glomerular expression of ICAM‐1 was signifcantly correlated with the glomerular infiltration of leucocyte function associated antigen (LFA)‐1⁺ leucocytes in both diseases, and with that of CR3⁺ leucocytes in HSPN. the expression of ICAM‐1 was closely localized with the infiltration of LFA‐1⁺ leucocytes in the study with double immunostaining. the incidence and intensity of glomerular deposition of FRA were significantly higher in HSPN than in IgAN (P< 0.001), and those of C3c were significantly lower in HSPN than in IgAN (P< 0.001). the glomerular deposition of FRA was significantly correlated with the glomerular infiltration of CR4⁺ leucocytes in HSPN (P<0.05) but not in IgAN. In contrast, the glomerular deposition of C3c was significantly correlated with the glomerular infiltration of CR4⁺ leucocytes in IgAN (P<0.05), but not in HSPN. Studies with double immunostaining revealed a close association of CR4⁺ leucocytes with FRA deposition in HSPN and with C3c deposition in IgAN, respectively. the number of glomerular leucocytes bearing β₂ integrins was significantly correlated with urinary protein at the time of renal biopsy in both diseases. These results suggested the differential roles of β₂ integrins in the induction of glomerular injury in HSPN and IgAN. the ICAM‐1/LFA‐1 interaction may commonly be involved in the glomerular infiltration of leucocytes in both diseases. the ICAM‐1/CR3 interaction may be involved only in HSPN. Complement receptor 4 may function as a fibrin/fibrinogen receptor in HSPN, while CR4 may function as a complement receptor in IgAN.

Cytotoxin and urease activities of Helicobacter pylori isolates from Japanese patients with atrophic gastritis or duodenal ulcer

The vacuolating cytotoxin and urease secreted by Helicobacter pylori are thought to be virulent factors. Because vacuolation is potentiated by the presence of ammonium ion, which is produced by urease in vitro, it is of interest to examine whether cytotoxin and urease work reciprocally in the development of atrophic gastritis or duodenal ulcer. In the present study, patients (all H. pyloripositive) were divided into four groups: mild atrophic gastritis (group 1; nine patients), severe atrophic gastritis (group 2; 36 patients), duodenal ulcer with mild atrophic gastritis (group 3; 19 patients) and duodenal ulcer with severe atrophic gastritis (group 4; 12 patients). Cytotoxin production and urease activity of H. pylori isolated from these patients were analysed. Cytotoxin production was observed in four of nine (44.4%), 28 of 36 (77.8%), 11 of 19 (57.9%) and eight of 12 (66.7%) isolates from groups 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Cytotoxin-producing H. pylori isolates were found significantly more in patients with severe atrophy than in patients with mild atrophy (P= 0.048). The mean of relative activity of cytotoxin in H. pylori isolate was 1. 6. ± 2. 3, 7. 9. ± 7. 4, 5. 8. ± 6. 0 and 9. 0 ± 9. 1 in groups 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Helicobacter pylori isolates from severe atrophy or duodenal ulcer patients in groups 2 or 4 possessed significantly higher activity than those from non-ulcer patients in group 1 (P= 0.017 and 0.030, respectively). The mean of urease activity was 8. 6 ± 4. 6, 10. 0 ± 5. 9, 10. 0 ± 8. 5 and 11. 2 ± 7. 7 IU/mg in groups 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. These differences indicated no statistical significance. In each H. pylori isolate, the production of cytotoxin and urease were independent, which indicated that there was no reciprocal effect between them in vivo. Thus, cytotoxin-producing H. pylori isolates were more prevalent in patients with severe atrophic gastritis and the cytotoxin activities of H. pylori isolates from the patients with severe atrophic gastritis or duodenal ulcer were much higher than those from the patients with mild atrophic gastritis, which suggested that vacuolating cytotoxin may be a disease-inducing factor.
