HLA-G UTR Haplotype Conservation in the Malian Population: Association with Soluble HLA-G
The HLA-G molecule plays an important role in immunomodulation. In a previous study carried out on a southern French population our team showed that HLA-G haplotypes, defined by SNPs in the coding region and specific SNPs located in 5'URR and 3'UTR regulatory regions, are associated with differential soluble HLA-G expression (sHLA-G). Furthermore, the structure of these HLA-G haplotypes appears...
متن کاملHLA-G بررسی ساختار و عملکرد
HLA-G is a nonclassical HLA class Ib, which is located on chromosome 6 (6p.21.3). In contrast to HLA class I molecules, HLA-G has restricted polymorphism. Expression of this molecule in the physiological conditions limits to certain tissues such as thymus, cornea, nail matrix, trophoblast and pancreas. Up to now, 50 alleles of HLA-G molecules have been discovered with 16 distinct functional pro...
متن کاملhla-g allele and haplotype frequencies in a healthy population of iran.
the human leukocyte antigen (hla)-g molecule is expressed in cytotrophoblast cells, adult thymic epithelial cells, erythroblasts, pancreatic islets and mesenchymal stem cells. although, hla-g expression in allotransplanted patients is correlated with a better allograft acceptance, it is associated with an advanced grade of the tumor in cancer. in addition to the role on the immune system, hla-...
متن کاملHLA-G polymorphisms and soluble HLA-G protein levels in women with recurrent pregnancy loss from Basrah province in Iraq.
HLA-G is a nonclassical, class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) gene that exhibits immunomodulatory properties and likely plays a role in the maintenance of successful pregnancy. In this study, we investigated the role of HLA-G polymorphisms on risk for recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and on circulating levels of soluble (s)HLA-G in Iraqi women. DNA and plasma were obtained from blood sa...
متن کاملHLA-G*0105N null allele encodes functional HLA-G isoforms.
Expression of the nonclassical HLA class I antigen, HLA-G, is associated with immune tolerance in view of its role in maintaining the fetus in utero, allowing tumor escape, and favoring graft acceptance. Expressed on invasive trophoblast cells, HLA-G molecules bind inhibitory receptors on maternal T lymphocytes and NK cells, thereby blocking their cytolytic activities and protecting the fetus f...
