چکیده

antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (oligos) are the tools that bind to complemen¬tary sequence of targeted mrna and block specifically protein translation. in the present study, a novel 20 mer oligo as an antisense for human il-13 is introduced. this oligo is designed according to the il-13 mrna coding region and synthesized in two hplc purified and fitc conjugated forms. fluorescence oligo cell uptake is confirmed using flowcytometry and confocal microscopy, and cytotoxicity evaluation is performed us¬ing brdu proliferation assay. human tonsilar b-lymphocytes are purified by positive selection using magnetic cell sorting method and cultured with anti cd40 monoclonal antibody plus ril-4 to induce il-13 production. il-13 antisense is added to medium and real time pcr for mrna, and elisa for protein assays. data indicate that antisense application leads to down regulation and complete suppression of il-13 pro¬tein with no significant effects on mrna, suggesting in vitro protein translation arrest. since 11-13 is a crucial cytokine in allergic conditions, we conclude that interference with the protein synthesis by a nontoxic and efficient antisense oligo can provide an available tool for the investigators on allergic diseases.

Inhibition of IL-13 by Antisense Oligonucleotide Changes Immunoglobulin Isotype Profile in Cultured B-Lymphocytes

The link between IL-13 and bronchial hyper-responsiveness has brought this cytokine as a potential therapeutic target for asthma and allergic diseases. At the present study, we address the role of B cell derived IL-13 in the IgE and other immunoglobulin development. Antisense oligo for human IL-13 m-RNA was used to study IgE down regulation. Human B-lymphocytes were purified by positive selecti...

Synthesis of IL-13 by human B lymphocytes: regulation and role in IgE production.

BACKGROUND Our laboratory has demonstrated previously that human tonsillar B lymphocytes express IL-13 mRNA OBJECTIVE: We sought to investigate IL-13 production by human B cells and the association between B cell-derived IL-13 and IgE secretion. METHODS Human B lymphocytes were isolated from tonsils and purified by means of rosetting with sheep RBCs or positive or negative selection with magn...

IL-13 R110Q, a Naturally Occurring IL-13 Polymorphism, Confers Enhanced Functional Activity in Cultured Human Bronchial Smooth Muscle Cells

PURPOSE Interleukin (IL)-13, a Th2-type cytokine, plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of asthma through its direct effects on airway smooth muscles. A naturally occurring IL-13 polymorphism, R110Q, is strongly associated with increased total serum IgE levels and asthma. In the present study, we aimed to determine whether the IL-13 R110Q variant would display different biochemical propertie...

CD93 is Selectively Expressed on Human Myeloma Cells but Not on B Lymphocytes

Background: CD93 has originally been known as a C1q receptor, and many studies have demonstrated that CD93 is expressed on hematopoietic stem cells, B cell progenitors, myeloid and monocytic cells. Moreover, CD93 is shown to be expressed on long-lived plasma cells, and CD93 deficient-mice display an impairment in plasma cell development. Objective: To investiga...
