Lineage commitment and differentiation of T and natural killer lymphocytes in the fetal mouse

Summary: T cells and natural killer (NK) cells are presumed to share a common intrathymic precursor. The development of conventional a|3 T lymphocytes begins within the early fetal thymus, after the colonization of multipotent CDl1 71 precursors. Irrevocable commitment to the T lineage is marked by thymus-induced expression of CD25. However, the contribution of the fetal thymus to NK lineage commitment and differentiation remains largely unappreciated. Recently, we demonstrated that the development of functional mouse NK cells occurs first in the fetal thymus. Moreover, the appearance of mature fetal thymic NK cells (NK1.1⁺/CD 117^-) is preceded by a thymus-induced developmental stage (NKl.1⁺/CD1 17⁺) that marks lineage commitment of multipotent hematopoietic precursors to the T and NK-cell fates. Commitment to the T/NK bipotent stage is induced by fetal thymic stroma, but is not thymus dependent. Recent data indicate that CD90⁺/CD117^lo fetal blood prothymocytes exhibit NK lineage potential and are phenotypically and functionally identical to fetal thymic NK1,1⁺/CD1 17⁺ progenitors. This finding also indicates that full commitment of circulating precursors to the T-cell lineage occurs after thymus colonization. In this review, we discuss recent insights into the cellular and molecular events involved in fetal mouse T and NK lineage commitment and differentiation to unipotent progenitors.

非鼻咽部T细胞淋巴瘤与EB病毒的相关性

目的：探讨EB病毒（EBV）感染与非鼻咽部T细胞淋巴瘤的关系。方法：用单克隆抗体UCHL-1、L26及EB病毒编码的潜在膜蛋白-1（LMP-1），免疫组化染色确定肿瘤的免疫表型及EB病毒转化蛋白的表达。采用原位杂交方法检测EBV编码的EBERs。结果：21例非鼻咽部T细胞淋巴瘤EBERs5例阳性的（23．8％），其中给内淋巴瘤3例，肺和胃肠淋巴瘤各1例。阳性细胞约占肿瘤细胞的10％～70％。5例EBERs阳性病例中仅1例表达LMP-1，为结内淋巴瘤。结论：非鼻咽部T细胞淋巴瘤可能与EBV的感染有关，LMP-1的阳性率较EBERs低。     

Screening Mouse Genes Related to Blastocyst Implantation by Using PCR Subtraction

Objective To identify genes that may be related to embryo implantation Materials & Methods The PCR subtraction technique was applied at implantation and inter-plantation sites on day 4. 5 of pregnancy in mice. Two novel Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs ), EST8 and EST81 were identified; their expression in tissues was analyzed by Northern blotting, and their full-length cDNAs were synthesized by PCR.Results We found that these two novel ESTs (EST8and EST81) were noticeably expressed in implantation site in the mouse on day 4. 5 of pregnancy. EST8 was expressed at high level in livers and implantation sites of the mice, while at low level in ovaries and inter-plantation sites. EST81 was predominantly expressed in implantation site and ovary, and at low level in all other tissues. Their complete cDNAs, 1 665bp and 1 264 bp respectively, were synthesized by using PCR.Conclusion The two full-length cDNAs were responsible for embryo implantation,and their functions need to be further studied.
