Phenotypic expansion of Bosch–Boonstra–Schaaf optic atrophy syndrome and further evidence for genotype–phenotype correlations

Bosch–Boonstra–Schaaf Optic Atrophy Syndrome (BBSOAS) is an autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder caused by loss‐of‐function variants in NR2F1 and characterized by visual impairment, developmental delay, and intellectual disability. Here we report 18 new cases, provide additional clinical information for 9 previously reported individuals, and review an additional 27 published cases to present a total of 54 patients. Among these are 22 individuals with point mutations or in‐frame deletions in the DNA‐binding domain (DBD), and 32 individuals with other types of variants including whole‐gene deletions, nonsense and frameshift variants, and point mutations outside the DBD. We corroborate previously described clinical characteristics including developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder diagnoses/features thereof, cognitive/behavioral anomalies, hypotonia, feeding difficulties, abnormal brain MRI findings, and seizures. We also confirm a vision phenotype that includes optic nerve hypoplasia, optic atrophy, and cortical visual impairment. Additionally, we expand the vision phenotype to include alacrima and manifest latent nystagmus (fusional maldevelopment), and we broaden the behavioral phenotypic spectrum to include a love of music, an unusually good long‐term memory, sleep difficulties, a high pain tolerance, and touch sensitivity. Furthermore, we provide additional evidence for genotype–phenotype correlations, specifically supporting a more severe phenotype associated with DBD variants.

Cloning, expression and characterization of a murine-human chimeric antibody with specificity for pre-S2 surface antigen of hepatitis B virus

The cloning, expression and characterization of a murine-human chimeric antibody with specificity for the pre-S2 surface antigen (Ag) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is described. The heavy and light chain variable region (VH and VL) genes encoding the murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) were isolated and combined with human γ 1 and κ constant region genes, respectively. The expression vectors containing the chimeric heavy and light chain genes were sequentially electroporated into murine Sp2/0 hybridoma cells and transfectomas secreting chimeric antibody were isolated. The chimeric antibody was purified and characterized by ELISA, Western analysis and competition immunoassay, demonstrating that the transfectoma functionally express and secrete murine-human chimeric antibody which retained the specificity and affinity of the parental murine mAb.     

Effect of biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate on the humoral immunosuppression by ethanol

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate (PMC) on the humoral immunosuppression by ethanol (EtOH) in ICR mice. PMC at a dose of 6 mg/kg was orally administered to mice daily for 28 consecutive days, and the control mice were given vehicle. Mice treated with EtOH were given freely with 20% EtOH instead of water. The results of this study are summarized as follows; a gain of body weight and the relative weights of spleen and liver were significantly increased by combination of PMC and EtOH, as compared with those in mice treated with EtOH alone. Splenic plaque forming cells (PFC) and hemagglutination (HA) titers to sheep red blood cells (SRBC), and the secondary IgG antibody response to bovine serum albumin (BSA) were decreased by the treatment of EtOH alone, then restored to normal level by PMC treatment. The elevations of serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (S-GPT) and total protein levels caused by EtOH were reduced to normal level by the combination of PMC and EtOH. In addition, lower serum albumin and A/G ratio were also increased to normal level. These findings indicate that PMC has a protective effect against EtOH-induced humoral immunosuppression.     

A function of Fas-associated death domain protein in cell cycle progression localized to a single amino acid at its C-terminal region

FADD is an adaptor known to transmit apoptotic signals from members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family. We show here that FADD has a domain implicated in cell proliferation. Mice bearing the Asp mutation in the serine 191 phosphorylation site are runted and anemic and display splenomegaly. Apoptosis is unimpaired in these mice, but they exhibit many immune developmental problems indicative of proliferative defects. Mutant FADD T cells are defective in cell cycle progression, suggesting that regulation of phosphorylation at serine 191 is essential for growth/proliferation. Remarkably, serine 191 is conserved among mammalian FADD proteins, but this C-terminal region is absent in lower organisms, suggesting that FADD acquired a domain during evolution, rendering it a "proliferation-apoptosis coupler" that balances cell proliferation and apoptosis.     

CD40L表达在异基因造血干细胞移植中GVHD发生的意义

目的：初步探讨在异基因造血干细胞移植（HSCT）中发生移植物抗宿主病（GVHD）患者DC40L表达的变化以及意义。方法：HSCT治疗重型β-地中海贫血（n=12）和遗传性溶血性贫血（n=1）成功植入的儿童患者，其中脐血移植（UCBT）8例，异基因外周血造血干细胞移植(allo-PBSCT)5例，在移植前、移植后发生GVHD时采用流式细胞仪检测和比较外周血中CD40L和CD40的表达。结果：3例UCBT无GVHD，其余均发生了Ⅰ-Ⅳ度急性GVHD。急性GVHD发生时CD4^ CD40L^ 和CD8^ CD40LT细胞表达明显升高，allo-PBSCT者更明显；慢性GVHD发生时患者的CD40L^ 、CD25^ 和CD69^ 在CD4^ 和CD8^ T细胞上的表达亦增加。CD19^ CD40^ B细胞的表达在UCBT和allo-PBSCT的3个月内则一直处于低于正常的水平。结论：CD40L高表达与GVHD的发生相关，提示CD40-CD40L共刺激途径在GVHD的发生中可能起着重要作用。
