目的评价抗p21ras单克隆抗体(mAb)KGH-R1、KGH-R2、KGH-R3与原发性甲状腺乳头状癌及相应正常组织的免疫反应性,为该抗体的临床应用奠定基础。方法用本实验室制备的广谱抗p21ras mAb KGH-R1、KGH-R2、KGH-R3抗体,对30例甲状腺乳头状癌和30例周围正常甲状腺组织进行免疫组化染色,计算各样本的阳性细胞百分比和组织学评分(HSCORE)分值,确定这三种抗体对甲状腺乳头状癌及甲状腺正常组织免疫反应性的差异。结果抗p21ras单克隆抗体KGH-R1、KGH-R2、KGH-R3分别与70.00%(21/30)、76.67%(23/30)、60.00%(18/30)的甲状腺乳头状癌发生免疫反应,阳性样本的平均阳性细胞百分比分别为为81%、100%、68%,平均HSCORE评分分别为277.50分、272.50分、264.00分;分别与30.00%(9/30)、23.33%(7/30)、33.33%(10/30)的正常甲状腺组织发生免疫反应,阳性样本的平均阳性细胞百分比分别为7.75%、8.00%、10.20%,平均HSCORE评分分别为7.75分、8.00分、10.20分。结论这三种单克隆抗体在甲状腺乳头状癌中免疫反应性较强,而在正常甲状腺组织的免疫反应性较弱或呈阴性反应。因此,这三种单克隆抗体可进一步开发为治疗性抗体,用于原发性甲状腺乳头状癌的临床治疗。 相似文献
Various inhibitors of metallo-beta-lactamases have been reported; however, none are effective for all subgroups. Those that have been found to inhibit the enzymes of subclass B2 (catalytically active with one zinc) either contain a thiol (and show less inhibition towards this subgroup than towards the dizinc members of B1 and B3) or are inactivators behaving as substrates for the dizinc family members. The present work reveals that certain pyridine carboxylates are competitive inhibitors of CphA, a subclass B2 enzyme. X-ray crystallographic analyses demonstrate that pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid chelates the zinc ion in a bidentate manner within the active site. Salts of these compounds are already available and undergoing biomedical testing for various nonrelated purposes. Pyridine carboxylates appear to be useful templates for the development of more-complex, selective, nontoxic inhibitors of subclass B2 metallo-beta-lactamases. 相似文献
The stem cell niche is composed of a specialized population of cells that plays an essential role in regulating adult stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. In adults, osteoblasts, responsible for osteogenesis, and hematopoietic cells, responsible for hematopoiesis, are closely associated in the bone marrow, suggesting a reciprocal relationship between the two. It was recently discovered that a subset of osteoblasts functions as a key component of the HSC niche (namely, the osteoblastic niche), controlling HSC numbers. HSCs interact not only with osteoblasts but also with other stromal cells, including endothelial cells. Sinusoidal endothelial cells in bone marrow have been revealed as an alternative HSC niche called the vascular niche. In this Review we compare the architecture of these 2 HSC niches in bone marrow. We also highlight the function of osteoblasts in maintaining a quiescent HSC microenvironment and the likely role of the vascular niche in regulating stem cell proliferation, differentiation, and mobilization. In addition, we focus on studies of animal models and in vitro assays that have provided direct insights into the actions of these osteoblastic and vascular niches, revealing central roles for numerous signaling and adhesion molecules. Many of the discoveries described herein may contribute to future clinical treatments for hematopoietic and bone-related disorders, including cancer. 相似文献
Malignant lymphocytes are characterized by their low expression of poliovirus receptor (PVR), ligand for the activating natural killer (NK) cell receptors, which may explain their insensitivity toward NK cell-based therapeutic approaches. Here, we have studied the mechanism of this defective expression of PVR. We demonstrated that the characterization of NK-insensitive cell lines was of low expression of PVR in both mRNA and surface levels, and that PVR of RAJI cells able to resist NK cells has hypermethylated promoter-associated CpG islands. After treating with 5-azacytidine (5-AZA) (ie, hypomethylation agent) and suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) (ie, histone deacetylase inhibitor), respectively or simultaneously, the abnormal epigenetic status became partly reversed, and the mRNA and surface expression of PVR restored. The expression restoration of the gene enhanced susceptibility of RAJI cells to NK cells but, when the RAJI cells were incubated with the specific blocking antibody for PVR's receptor, the enhanced susceptibility would diminish. Patients with acute myeloid leukemia expressed higher PVR than patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in both mRNA and surface levels. Epigenetic modulation of hypermethylation and histone deacetylase is involved in repressing PVR expression in malignant lymphocytes resistant to NK cells. 相似文献
Objective: CHA2DS2-VASc is the extension of the CHADS2 score developed by Birmingham 2009. This risk stratification schema is often used in clinical setting when considering additional risk factors for developing stroke in AF patients. However, its role in the non-AF population is unknown. This study was designed to evaluate the accuracy of the CHADS2 and the CHA2DS2-VASc scoring systems.
Methods: Studies designed for CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc score in stratifying the risks for stroke development in non-AF patients were included.
Results: Among the 114 studies identified, six trials were chosen finally and included for meta-analysis. The pooled diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) for CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc was 2.86 (95% CI =1.83–4.28) and 2.80 (95% CI =1.83–4.28), respectively. CHA2DS2-VASc score was of better sensitivity than CHADS2 score (0.920 vs. 0.768). However, both scores were showed to have inherent heterogeneity and poor specificity.
Conclusions: Though having good diagnostic accuracy, the clinical application of the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores in predicting risk of stroke development in non-AF patients still needs further validation.
Key message
The overall diagnostic accuracy of CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc in stroke-risk stratification was good in patients with non-atrial fibrillation.
