Lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 overexpression and T cell autoreactivity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
OBJECTIVE To determine if DNA methylation inhibitors make T cells autoreactive by inducing lymphocyte function-associated antigen type 1 (LFA-1) (CD11a/CD18) overexpression. METHODS T cell clones were treated with 3 distinct DNA methylation inhibitors or were stably transfected with a CD18 cDNA in a mammalian expression vector, and the effects on LFA-1 expression and activation requirements were examined. RESULTS LFA-1 overexpression, caused by DNA methylation inhibitors or by transfection, correlates with the development of autoreactivity. CONCLUSION LFA-1 overexpression may contribute to T cell autoreactivity.

Mechanisms of drug-induced lupus. IV. Comparison of procainamide and hydralazine with analogs in vitro and in vivo.
OBJECTIVE T cells treated with DNA methylation inhibitors overexpress lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1), which results in autoreactivity, and the autoreactive cells cause a lupus-like disease in vivo, suggesting a mechanism by which some agents may cause drug-induced lupus. This study compared the effects of procainamide (Pca) and hydralazine (Hyd) with those of structural analog...

DNA methylation plays an essential role in maintaining cellular function, and changes in methylation patterns may contribute to the development of autoimmunity, aging and cancer. Evidence for a role in autoimmunity comes from studies demonstrating that inhibiting T lymphocyte DNA methylation causes autoreactivity in vitro and a lupus-like disease in vivo. The autoimmunity is due in part to the ...
متن کاملDemethylation of ITGAL (CD11a) regulatory sequences in systemic lupus erythematosus.
OBJECTIVE Inhibition of T cell DNA methylation causes autoreactivity in vitro and a lupus-like disease in vivo, suggesting that T cell DNA hypomethylation may contribute to autoimmunity. The hypomethylation effects are due, in part, to overexpression of lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) (CD11a/CD18). Importantly, T cells from patients with active lupus have hypomethylated DNA and...

Background and Aim: Cervical cancer is the fourth main cause of mortality among women, and annually about half a million new cases are detected in developed countries. Based on oncological studies, human papillomavirus (HPV) is classified into two categories: high-risk type and low-risk type, and most cases are related to the high-risk type of human papillomavirus. HPV 16 and 18 are among the m...

Cancer immunotherapy has gained a lot of interest over the past few years due to the success of immune checkpoint inhibitors in treating cancer (1, 2). Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as monoclonal antibodies against cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death 1 (PD-1), have been shown to increase survival of patients with advanced cancers (1, 2). These in...
