Abstract

Different adhesive capacity in interactions with CD55 has been ascribed to the isoforms of the leukocyte CD97 antigen, CD97 (EGF 1,2,5), CD97 (EGF 1,2,3,5), and CD97 (EGF 1,2,3,4,5). In the study, coexpression of the three CD97 isoforms and predominance of CD97 (EGF 1,2,5) transcripts in leukocytes are demonstrated. The contribution of CD97 (EGF 1,2,3,5) and CD97 (EGF 1,2,3,4,5) to total CD97 levels varied among most cell types only slightly, although relatively higher mRNA levels of both isoforms were detected in U 937 cells and monocytes. In peripheral blood lymphocytes, CD97 isoforms did not show clear variation after PMA stimulation and were down-regulated equally after CD97 cross-linking. Moreover, the CD97 isoform pattern was not altered in monocytes after interferon-gamma stimulation and in synovial T cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis. CD97 mRNA levels did not necessarily correspond to CD97 surface density. The findings suggest that adhesive activity of CD97 toward CD55 is unlikely to be regulated by differential CD97 isoform expression.

Autophagic-like cell death in neutrophils induced by autoantibodies.

Human neutrophils undergo autophagic-like cell death following Sialic acid binding immunoglobulin-like lectin-9 (Siglec-9) ligation and concurrent stimulation with certain, but not all, neutrophil survival cytokines. Caspase inhibition by these cytokines is required, but is not sufficient, to trigger this particular form of cell death. Additional mechanisms may involve reactive oxygen species (ROS), and blocking of ROS or prevention of ROS production prevents autophagic-like neutrophil death. Interestingly, human intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) preparations contain natural anti-Siglec-9 autoantibodies, which are able to ligate Siglec-9 on neutrophils and induce autophagic-like cell death in the presence of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and some other survival cytokines. Here, we discuss the pathophysiological and therapeutic implications of these recent findings.

Bias in association studies of systemic lupus erythematosus susceptibility due to geographical variation in the frequency of a programmed cell death 1 polymorphism across Europe.

We obtained eight collections of DNA samples from ethnically matched systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and controls from five European countries totaling 783 patients and 1210 controls. A highly significant cline in the frequency of the PD1.3 A allele was found among controls but not among SLE patients. The frequency of the PD1.3 A allele increased from the Northeast to the Southwest of Europe. The cline was clearly apparent (P=1.2 x 10(-6)) when data from controls of other five SLE susceptibility studies were included in the analysis. This variation has severely biased SLE association studies owing to the lack of parallel changes in SLE patients. As a consequence, the PD1.3 A allele was more common in SLE patients than in controls in the Northeast and Center of Europe, similar to controls in Southeast Europe, and less frequent than in the controls in the Southwest of the Continent. This dissociation in allele frequencies between SLE patients and controls in different subpopulations indicated that programmed cell death 1 variation and disease susceptibility are not independent but the type of relationship is currently unclear. As allele frequency clines are common in other polymorphisms their impact in genetic epidemiology studies should be carefully considered.
