Abstract

To determine the expression of CD45 isoforms on T lymphocytes in neonates with fetal distress and to evaluate its diagnostic accuracy, peripheral blood samples were examined in 53 neonates who were classified into one of three groups: group I: 'control' group (n = 23), group II: 'mild distress' group (n = 15), and group III: 'moderate distress' group (n = 15). The expression of CD3 (mean +/- SD 24.2 +/- 10.1%), CD4 (23.0 +/- 5.7%), and CD45RA (27.3 +/- 9.6%) on total lymphocytes and the expression of CD45RA on CD4+ T lymphocytes (13.7 +/- 4.7%) in group III were significantly lower than in the other two groups 0-3 days after birth. Sensitivity and specificity of the CD45RA expression on CD4+ T lymphocytes for discrimination of group III were calculated as 0.79 and 1.0, respectively, when the cutoff value was 22.7%. The low CD3, CD4, and CD45RA expression returned to normal levels 10 days and more after birth. There were no differences in the CD8 and CD45RO expression between the groups. We conclude that CD4+ T lymphocytes from neonates with fetal distress show a transient decrease in the CD45RA expression without an increase in the CD45RO expression, and, therefore, analysis of the CD45 isoform expression is useful for laboratory evaluation of fetal distress.

Digital image analysis for the evaluation of the inflammatory infiltrate in psoriasis.

Traditionally the evaluation of the cellular infiltrate and protein expression in skin tissue sections is done by manual quantification. However, for reliable evaluation of histology in the development of new anti-psoriatic treatments there is a need for a more time-efficient and reproducible method. To test the use of digital image analysis (DIA) in this situation we compared the assessment of immunohistochemically stained skin sections with the more traditional manual quantification (MQ) and semi-quantitative analysis (SQA). The number of CD3+ T cells and the expression of E-selectin were evaluated in stained paired skin biopsies from 11 patients with chronic plaque psoriasis before and after initiation of anti-psoriasis therapy. We observed significant correlations between MQ and DIA for the number of T cells (epidermis: r=0.88, P< or =0.01, dermis r=0.87, P< or =0.01). Both DIA and MQ were equally effective in detecting reductions of T-cell numbers in active-treated patients. MQ took 20 h, compared to 6 h for DIA. We also observed significant correlations between SQA and DIA for the expression of E-selectin (r=0.88, P< or =0.01), although DIA was more sensitive than SQA to detect (early) changes. SQA took 10 h, compared to 4 h for DIA. In conclusion, the quantification of the inflammatory infiltrate in psoriatic lesional skin by DIA generated similar results as MQ and SQA in a reliable, reproducible and higher time efficient fashion.

Regulation of lck degradation and refractory state in CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes.

After specific activation, CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) enter a refractory state termed activation-induced nonresponsiveness (AINR) that is characterized by the inability of T cells to respond to a secondary stimulus. Here, we show that T cell receptor triggering results in rapid degradation of the src-family protein kinase lck through a mechanism that is proteasome- and lysosome-independent, sensitive to cysteine protease inhibitors, and distinct from the pathways involved in degradation of ZAP-70 kinase or zeta-chain of the CD3 complex. Pharmacologic blockade of lck degradation, as well as transfection of refractory cells with an lck expression vector, increased responsiveness of CTLs to repeated antigenic challenge. The development or maintenance of AINR was not affected by exogenously added IL-2, whereas IL-15 or IFN-alpha restored both lck expression and responsiveness of preactivated CTLs. Our results suggest that lck degradation plays an important role in the development of AINR in human CTLs and that this condition can be reverted by pharmacologic agents or lymphokines that prevent lck degradation or induce its expression.

[Serial analyses of viral levels and immunocytes during in vitro incubation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from HIV-infected individuals].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the dynamic changes of viral loads and immunocytes during the in vitro culture of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from HIV carriers. METHODS: The PBMCs from 14 HIV-infected individuals and 6 healthy persons were incubated in serum-free AIM-V medium containing cocktail cytokines. The phenotype of CD3, CD4, CD8, CD3CD56 and CD25 was identified by flow cytometric analysis every two days. The production of cytokines in the supernatants, including IL-1alpha, IL-12, TNF-alpha and IL-10 was measured by ELISA. The supernatant HIV-1 RNA load was also determined by Real-time fluorescent PCR. RESULTS: During a 21-day incubation period, The PBMCs multiplied approximately 60.7-fold and 16.8-fold respectively in the healthy controls and 7 out of the 14 HIV-infected subjects, however failed to multiply in the remaining 7 HIV-infected subjects. The expanded cells were phenotypically shown a heterogeneous cellular population with 23.3%-35% for CD3(+)CD4(+) T cells and 58.7%-72% for CD3(+)CD8(+) T cells, and approximate 17% CD3(+)CD56(+) cells at 16-day incubation for HIV-infected cases. HIV-1-positive PBMCs were found to produce an elevated ratios (value range 6.01 - 48.04) of IL-12:IL-10 compared to healthy individuals (6.65 - 10.2) at 16-day incubation. Furthermore, serial analyses of HIV-1 RNA levels showed an inverted V type dynamic change during 16 day in vitro incubation period. CONCLUSION: In vitro expansion of functional immunocytes of HIV-1 carrier origin is feasible and may facilitate the autologous antiviral immune therapy for HIV-infected patients.
