The expression profile of Fc receptor-like Y in B lymphocytes with hepatitis B virus induced diseases.

چکیده
The Fc Receptor-like Y (FcRY) molecule is preferentially expressed by B lymphocytes and has recently been considered as a potential therapeutic target for B cell malignancies. In this study, we investigated the correlation between FcRY expression profile, B lymphocytes population and different HBV infection disease status. The FcRY expression level on B lymphocytes and the number of B lymphocytes population from peripheral blood in 27 healthy controls (HC) and 65 patients with HBV-induced diseases, including chronic hepatitis B (CHB), liver cirrhosis (LC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), were analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR and flow cytometry. The results showed the level of FcRY expression and frequency of germinal center (GC) B lymphocytes from peripheral blood were significantly correlated with the HBV-related disease status, which was highest in HCC and LC patients, lowest in healthy donors, and in the middle in patients with CHB. Our study indicates that there is a significant correlation between FcRY expression profile, B lymphocytes population and HBV-induced diseases. However, the roles of FcRY and B lymphocytes in HBV-induced diseases are unclear and need further investigation.

Evaluation of miR-101 Level in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection and Liver Cirrhosis
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: MiRNAs are small RNAs that are expressed in most eukaryotes, and can regulate gene expression by attaching to the 3’ end of target mRNA. MicroRNA-101 (miR-101) post-transcriptional regulation is important for host-virus interactions. In addition, miR-101 has a tumor suppressive role in liver cancer and metastasis, an...

Background: The HLA class I molecules serve as ligands for both T cell receptors and killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs). Objective: We investigated the HLAC and HLA-Bw4 alleles as well as KIRs expression on CD56 positive lymphocytes to evaluate whether these genes and molecules could influence Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) susceptibility, alone or in combination. Methods: We typed 4...
متن کاملMolecular detection of hepatitis delta virus in blood donors with RT-PCR
Abstract Background and Objective: Hepatitis delta virus is an imperfect virus with RNA and its activity depends on the presence of hepatitis B virus. This virus can lead to acute and chronic diseases in the liver. This study aimed to detect the hepatitis delta virus in blood donors with positive Hepatitis B Surface Antigens (HBsAg). Material and Methods: In this Study, 350 serum sa...

DNA coding for the core antigen from hepatitis B Virus (HBcAg) was amplified, cloned and propagated in E. coli. The core protein was expressed in E. coli and the product was readily detected by Western blot. This protein can be used as a diagnostic material in serum screening tests. To increase the level of expression of this antigen in bacteria, two plasmids were constructed in which the gene ...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a serious global health problem. The development of a safe and effective vaccinewould help infection prevention. Previous hepatitis B vaccine production involved the isolation of the noninfectious particle from chronic HBV carriers. DNA recombinant technology has been used for vaccineproduction without having been contaminated with blood-born infectious ag...
