Expression of the CD7 Ligand K-12 in Human Thymic Epithelial Cells: Regulation by IFN-γ

CD7 is an immunoglobulin superfamily molecule expressed on T, NK, and pre-B lymphocytes. Previous studies have demonstrated a role for CD7 in T- and NK-cell activation and cytokine production. Recently, an epithelial cell secreted protein, K12, was identified as a CD7 ligand. Although CD7 is expressed intrathymically, it is not known if K12 is produced in human thymus. To determine roles that K12 might play in the human thymus, we analyzed expression of K12 in human thymocytes, thymic epithelial cells (TE), and thymic fibroblasts. We found that recombinant human K12 bound strongly to soluble hCD7, with a K_eq of 37.6×10^–9M, and this interaction was inhibited by a novel antihuman K12 monoclonal antibody (K12-A1). K12 mRNA was detected by RT–PCR and northern analysis in human TE and thymic fibroblasts, but not in human thymocytes. Expression of K12 in TE cells was upregulated by IFN- . Taken together, these data demonstrated that K12 is produced by human TE cells and thymic fibroblasts, and is regulated in thymus by IFN- . These data suggest a role for thymic microenvironment-produced K12 in regulation of thymocyte signaling and cytokine release, particularly in the setting of thymus pathology where IFN- is upregulated such as myasthenia gravis.     

Family-based association study between autism and glutamate receptor 6 gene in Chinese Han trios.

The glutamate pathways are involved in diverse processes such as learning and memory, epilepsy, and they play important roles in neural plasticity, neural development, and neurodegeneration. It has been proposed that autism could be a hypoglutamatergic disorder. Recently, Jamain et al. reported that the glutamate receptor 6 (GluR6 or GRIK2) is in linkage disequilibrium with autism. In the present study, the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) and the haplotype transmission were performed to analyze the four SNPs (SNP1: rs995640; SNP2: rs2227281; SNP3: rs2227283; SNP4: rs2235076) of GluR6 in 174 Chinese Han parent-offspring trios. The TDT demonstrated that the two SNPs (SNP2 and SNP3) showed preferential transmission (TDT P = 0.032). The global chi(2) test for haplotype transmission also revealed an association between GluR6 and autism (chi(2) = 10.78, df = 3, P = 0.013). Our results suggested that GluR6 is in linkage disequilibrium with autism.     

An oligonucleotide microarray for the detection of vaccinia virus

Vaccinia virus is a member of the orthopoxvirus group, to which also belongs variola virus, one of the most hazardous pathogens known to man. To establish a model system to detect orthopoxviruses, a vaccinia oligonucleotide microarray is designed, produced and tested. Vaccinia virus is used to test the prepared microarrays. The virus DNA samples in different propagation phases are extracted and hybridised with the oligonucleotide microarray. The results showed that the oligonucleotide microarray can detect vaccinia virus with high specificity and sensitivity.
