Identification and characterization of a DR4-restricted T cell epitope within chlamydia heat shock protein 60

An epitope within the 60 kD Chlamydia trachomatis heat shock protein (hsp) 60, recognized by a HLA-DRB1*0401-restricted T cell clone from a reactive arthritis patient, has been characterized. Stimulatory peptides contained a nine amino acid sequence (residues 38–46) predicted by algorithm to confer strong binding to DRB1*0401, with valine in the P1 position. The overall length of the peptide was critical for efficient recognition; peptides with at least one residue N-terminal to the putative P1 position were markedly more stimulatory than a peptide whose N-terminal is the P1 valine. Optimal responses were seen with 14mer peptides having two to three amino acids N- and C-terminal to the core 9mer. The sequence of the defined epitope is identical in hsp60 from both C. trachomatis and C. pneumoniae. Since the latter is a common respiratory pathogen, patients infected with C. trachomatis may already be primed for responses to hsp60 by prior infection with C. pneumoniae. Such secondary responses are important in the pathogenesis of chlamydia-induced inflammatory diseases such as trachoma. Priming by infection with enteric organisms was considered because of the similarity of the epitope sequence in Escherichia coli hsp60. However, although an E. coli-related peptide was recognized, intact E. coli hsp60 was not, suggesting that the epitope is cryptic in E. coli hsp60. Human hsp60 has six amino acid differences from chlamydial hsp60 in the epitope sequence and was not recognized. Thus cross-reactive recognition of self hsp60 could not be implicated in the pathogenesis of chlamydia-induced reactive arthritis in this patient.     

Phenotypic and Genotypic Lineage Switch of a Lymphoma with Shared Chromosome Translocation and T-Cell Receptor γ Gene Rearrangement

A case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma showed a phenotypic and genotypic cell lineage switch twice during nine years of his clinical history; first, T-cell type, pleomorphic small cell lymphoma developed, followed by B-cell type, diffuse centroblastic/centrocytic lymphoma, and finally T-zone lymphoma without follicles again developed, from which AST-1 cultured cell line was established. Karyotype analysis demonstrated a shared abnormal chromosome, der(1)t(1;?)(p36;?), among the first relapsed B-cell tumor, the second relapsed T-cell tumor and AST-1 cell line. Furthermore, T-cell receptor (TCR) γ gene rearrangement bands of the same size were observed in the first relapsed B-cell tumor and the second relapsed T-cell tumor as well as AST-1 cell line. These results suggested that both relapsed tumors of different cell lineages are derived from a common malignant clone, presumably a committed lymphoid stem cell. A unique translocation, t(2;14)(q37;q11.2), which may involve TCR δ/α gene complex, was observed in the second relapsed tumor and AST-1 cells. To attempt to isolate the breakpoint of this translocation, the configuration of TCR δ/α gene complex was studied. The result showed that two rearrangements of TCR α gene detected with J_α probes were the products of the normal TCR rearrangement process, and were not involved in the translocation at this region. This patient, together with the AST-1 cell line, provided us a unique opportunity to study the development and clonal evolution of malignant lymphoma.

Assessment of the invasive potential of human gynecological tumor cell lines with the in vitro Boyden chamber assay: influences of the ability of cells to migrate through the filter membrane

The Boyden chamber assay is widely used for in vitro measurement of the invasive capacity of cells. However, results can be affected significantly if certain precautions are not taken. Using the Boyden chamber assay we investigated in vitro the invasive potential of a variety of human gynecological tumor cell lines to degrade and migrate through the artificial basement membrane matrix Matrigel. However, in the absence of this Matrigel layer large differences were observed in the ability of cells to adhere to, migrate through and attach to the lower side of the filter membranes. These differences were influenced by cell density, degree of directional locomotion, and the size of the filter pores. To adjust for these influences (which are not directly correlated to the capacity of cells to traverse the Matrigel layer), invasion results were corrected for the ability of cells to migrate through the filter membrane. In addition, the invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells was used as an internal standard to compensate for variations in the Matrigel layer between different experiments. Overall, in our experimental set up, the five human breast cancer cell lines were the most invasive (mean invasion ± SEM relative to MDA-MB-231 invasion: 104.7 ± 6.1%), the five human ovarian cancer cell lines the least invasive (60.2 ± 2.2%) and the six human endometrial cancer cell lines showed an intermediate capacity (79.1 ± 3.5%). In conclusion, the Boyden chamber assay can be used reliably for studying the invasive potential of cells in vitro, if the ability of the cells to migrate through the filter is taken into account, and a reference cell line is included to enable comparison of the data obtained from independently performed experiments on different cell lines.
