3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaric Aciduria

3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaric aciduria was found in a newborn infant whose parents are first cousins. The patient presented at 5 days of life with hyperammonemia, hypoglecemia, and metabolic acidosis. There was no ketonuria. Diagnosis was made by analysis of the pattern of organic acids excreted in the urine. A profound deficiency in activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A lyase was found in cultured skin fibroblasts. The parents had intermediate levels of enzyme activity.     

γδ cells involved in contact sensitivity preferentially rearrange the Vγ3 region and require interleukin-7

Ptak and Askenase showed that both αβ and γδ cells are required for transfer of contact sensitivity (CS). This study confirms that day 4 immune cells depleted of γδ cells fail to transfer CS to trinitrochlorobenzene (TNP-Cl) systemically and demonstrates that administration of anti-γδ monoclonal antibodies (mAb) in vivo abolishes the CS reaction. Moreover, γδ cells accumulate at the antigen challenge site: these cells have the unusual phenotype CD8α⁺, CD8β^-, IL-4 R⁺ which we suggest is due to their state of activation. Following immunization with contact sensitizer on the skin, the absolute number of γδ cells increases in the regional lymph nodes with a peak at 4 days. Of the γδ cells, 80%, both in the lymph nodes of TNP-Cl-immune mice and accumulating at the antigen challenge site are Vγ3⁺. The γδ cells expressing Vγ3, which is characteristic of dendritic epithelial T cells (DETC), obtained 4 days after sensitization, proliferate in response to interleukin (IL)-7, but only poorly to IL-2 and IL-4. They also respond to concanavalin A and immobilized anti-γδ mAb, but not to haptens or heat-shocked syngeneic spleen cells. Furthermore, injection of mice with mAb to IL-7 inhibits accumulation of Vγ3⁺ cells both in the lymph nodes after skin sensitization and at the antigen-challenge site. Altogether, these results strongly support the view that DETC are related to, or the original source of, the γδ cells found in the lymph node after skin sensitization and at the site of challenge, and that IL-7 is implicated in these phenomena.     

DNM3OS Facilitates Ovarian Cancer Progression by Regulating miR-193a-3p/MAP3K3 Axis

PurposeLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are essential regulators in the development of ovarian cancer (OC). Nonetheless, the function of lncRNA DNM3 opposite strand/antisense RNA (DNM3OS) in OC remains unclear. This work aimed to investigate the biological roles and underlying mechanisms of DNM3OS in OC.Materials and MethodsQuantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was conducted to examine DNM3OS, microRNA (miR)-193a-3p, and mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 (MAP3K3) mRNA expression in OC tissues and cell lines. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was employed to analyze the relationship between DNM3OS expression and the prognosis of OC patients. Cell counting kit-8, 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine, and transwell experiments were conducted to monitor cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, respectively. Western blot was applied to examine epithelial-mesenchymal transition associated protein (E-cadherin and N-cadherin) expression. Luciferase reporter gene and RNA immunoprecipitation experiments were performed to confirm the relationships among DNM3OS, miR-193a-3p, and MAP3K3. Pearson''s correlation analysis was adopted to analyze the correlations among DNM3OS, miR-193a-3p, and MAP3K3 mRNA.ResultsDNM3OS expression was remarkably increased in OC tissues and cell lines, which was associated with the unfavorable prognosis of the patients. DNM3OS overexpression enhanced OC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion; suppressed E-cadherin protein expression; and facilitated N-cadherin protein expression, while the transfection of miR-193a-3p mimics had the opposite effects. DNM3OS directly interacted with miR-193a-3p, and miR-193a-3p targeted MAP3K3 by directly binding to 3′UTR. DNM3OS could up-regulate the expression of MAP3K3 via repressing miR-193a-3p expression.ConclusionDNM3OS, as an oncogenic lncRNA, increases the malignancy of OC cells via regulation of an miR-193a-3p/MAP3K3 axis.     

Human γδ T Cells Express a Higher TCR/CD3 Complex Density Than αβ T Cells

The aim of our study was to compare CD3 expression on γδ T cells and αβ T cells in human patients. The antigen density of TCR and CD3 on both subsets was assessed by a quantitative method in eight patients. In parallel, we developed and validated a reliable direct tricolor staining protocol that we tested on samples from hospitalized and healthy individuals (n = 60). Our results demonstrate that human γδ T cells constitutively express approximately twofold more of the TCR/CD3 complex than αβ T cells. We suggest that this enhanced expression of the TCR/CD3 complex could contribute to the higher reactivity of γδ T cells compared to αβ T cells. These clinical laboratory results confirm the fundamental data described elsewhere. γδ T cells deserve further clinical investigations to understand their precise role in human immunity.     

Preferentially expanding Vγ1+ γδ T cells are associated with protective immunity against Plasmodium infection in mice

γδ T cells play a crucial role in controlling malaria parasites. Dendritic cell (DC) activation via CD40 ligand (CD40L)‐CD40 signaling by γδ T cells induces protective immunity against the blood‐stage Plasmodium berghei XAT (PbXAT) parasites in mice. However, it is unknown which γδ T‐cell subset has an effector role and is required to control the Plasmodium infection. Here, using antibodies to deplete TCR Vγ1⁺ cells, we saw that Vγ1⁺ γδ T cells were important for the control of PbXAT infection. Splenic Vγ1⁺ γδ T cells preferentially expand and express CD40L, and both Vγ1⁺ and Vγ4⁺ γδ T cells produce IFN‐γ during infection. Although expression of CD40L on Vγ1⁺ γδ T cells is maintained during infection, the IFN‐γ positivity of Vγ1⁺ γδ T cells is reduced in late‐phase infection due to γδ T‐cell dysfunction. In Plasmodium‐infected IFN‐γ signaling‐deficient mice, DC activation is reduced, resulting in the suppression of γδ T‐cell dysfunction and the dampening of γδ T‐cell expansion in the late phase of infection. Our data suggest that Vγ1⁺ γδ T cells represent a major subset responding to PbXAT infection and that the Vγ1⁺ γδ T‐cell response is dependent on IFN‐γ‐activated DCs.     

Covalent binding of guanine nucleotides to the CD3-γ chain of the T cell receptor/CD3 complex

In a search for proteins involved in signal transduction through the T cell receptor (TcR/CD3 complex), a recently developed highly efficient method for labeling of nucleotide binding proteins in permeabilized cells was applied. Here, we report that human CD3-γ could be labeled by periodate-oxidized [α-³²P] GTP (GTP_oxi). In contrast to GTP_oxi labeling of CD3-ξ, (Peter, M. E., Hall, C, Ruhlmann, A., Sancho, J. and Terhorst, C, EMBOJ. 1992. 11: 933), GTP-specific labeling of CD3-γ reached a maximum when nucleotides were added 60 min prior to the cross-linking reaction. As CD3-γ did not contain a known consensus sequence for nucleotide binding and since labeling kinetics of CD3-γ coincided with those of cytosolic GTP-binding proteins, labeling may have been caused by a GTP-binding protein. This putative protein was not T cell specific because labeling of CD3-γ could also be achieved when expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. In CHO cells, labeling by GTP_oxi took place only when CD3-γ was associated with CD3-ξ, whereas labeling could not be established upon association of CD3-γ with CD3-δ or TcR α. The observation that CD3-γ was labeled without leaving the endoplasmic reticulum led to the hypothesis that the association of CD3-γ with a GTP-binding protein might be involved in an early step of the TcR/CD3 complex formation or transport.

IFN-γ-induced TNF-α is a prerequisite for in vitro production of nitric oxide generated in murine peritoneal macrophages by IFN-γ

The effect of IFN-γ to stimulate formation of nitric oxide (NO) by normal murine peritoneal macrophages (Mϕ) has been found to be completely dependent on the ability of IFN-γ to activate secretion of TNF-α. The NO-stimulatory effect of IFN-γ was abolished by anti-TNF-α antibodies, the inhibitory intervention of which could be fully reversed by exogenously supplied TNF-α. Accordingly, the failure of Mϕ from C3H/HeJ mice to secrete TNF-α upon stimulation with IFN-γ was associated with their complete incapability to generate NO, unless they were simultaneously treated with IFN-γ + TNF-α. Collectively, the data document that similar to the NO up-regulatory action of other cytokines, the effect of IFN-γ is not independent, but depends on a synergistic cooperation with the self-produced TNF-α. The findings thus indicate that a widespread opinion claiming that IFN-γ per se is able to stimulate biosynthesis of NO needs revision.
