Enhancement of c-sis proto-oncogene transcription in bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells from patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis.

چکیده
The expression of c-sis proto-oncogene in bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells was studied in seven patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. By means of nuclear run on transcription assay, the transcriptional level of c-sis proto-oncogene in bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells was investigated. Expression of c-sis proto-oncogene in bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells was enhanced. Enhancement of c-sis transcription may be involved in the process of activation of bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Immune response CC chemokines CCL2 and CCL5 are associated with pulmonary sarcoidosis
BACKGROUND Pulmonary sarcoidosis involves an intense leukocyte infiltration of the lung with the formation of non-necrotizing granulomas. CC chemokines (chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2)-CCL5) are chemoattractants of mononuclear cells and act through seven transmembrane G-coupled receptors. Previous studies have demonstrated conflicting results with regard to the associations of these chemo...
متن کاملExpression of RANTES by bronchoalveolar lavage cells in nonsmoking patients with interstitial lung diseases.
Emphasis has recently been placed on the roles of chemotactic cytokines called chemokines to explain the accumulation of inflammatory cells in the lung that may precede or accompany pulmonary fibrosis in interstitial lung diseases. We hypothesized that RANTES, a member of the C-C chemokines, is one such chemokine. Bronchoalveolar lavage was done in 20 patients with sarcoidosis, 10 patients with...
متن کاملExtensively disturbance of regulatory T cells - Th17 cells balance in stage II pulmonary sarcoidosis
BACKGROUND Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disorder characterized by granulomas. Not enough evidences correlate the derangement of CD4+ T subsets, which have an impact on the therapeutic effects of corticosteroids, with the radiographical staging of sarcoidosis. Here we show the disturbance of CD4+ T subsets in newly diagnosed stage II pulmonary sarcoidosis, which is the most common stag...
متن کاملT cell receptor-Vβ repertoires in lung and blood CD4+ and CD8+ T cells of pulmonary sarcoidosis patients
BACKGROUND Sarcoidosis patients have accumulations of activated CD4+ T cells in affected organs, such as the lungs. T cell receptor (TCR) Vβ-chain usage has been incompletely characterized in these patients. METHODS We surveyed the TCR Vβ usage in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 15 HLA-typed Scandinavian sarcoidosi...
متن کاملA review of retinoblastoma disease
Retinoblastoma is a rare type of eye cancer that usually occurs in early childhood, usually before the age of five. This type of cancer occurs in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue behind the eye that recognizes light and color. It is the most common type of eye cancer in children. One-third of all retinoblastomas are inherited, meaning that mutations in the RB1 gene are present in all cell...
