چکیده
Early B lymphopoiesis is marked by plasticity between the myeloid and B lineages. An attractive model for B-lineage development is that commitment to this lineage is partly determined by the ordered expression of genes that prohibit switching to the myeloid lineage. In this regard, whereas the role of the B-cell–specific transcription factor BSAP/Pax5A in regulating B-lymphoid–restricted gene expression has been well-established, its role in maintaining B-lineage commitment is unclear. Thus, BSAP/Pax5A was constitutively expressed in the multipotent EML cell line, which can be directed toward the myeloid lineage by culture with interleukin-3 (IL-3) and retinoic acid. EML cells expressing BSAP/ Pax5A successfully acquired the myeloid lineage markers CD11b and F4/80 in response to IL-3 and retinoic acid, indicating differentiation to the myeloid lineage. However, these early myeloid cells failed to expand in culture with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and were directed instead toward an apoptotic pathway. In parallel, primary bone marrow stem cells transduced with retrovirus constitutively expressing BSAP/Pax5A began myeloid cell differentiation, but like the transformed EML model failed to expand in response to myeloid growth factors. These studies identify a role for BSAP/Pax5A in suppressing the response to myeloid growth factors, which may be a component of the regulatory processes that limit plasticity of early B-lymphoid progenitors. r 1999 by The American Society of Hematology.

متن کاملNovel haemolysins of Salmonella enterica spp. enterica serovar Gallinarum.
Haemolysins of Salmonella are important due to their probable role in pathogenesis of systemic salmonellosis and use in sub-serovar level typing. The present study was undertaken to determine haemolytic potential of Salmonella Gallinarum strains through phenotypic and genotypic methods. Amplification of haemolysin gene (clyA) and cytolysin gene (slyA) was attempted in order to determine their r...
متن کاملLack of effect of a single oral dose of cyclosporine on systemic blood pressure and on forearm blood flow and vascular resistance in humans.
The acute hemodynamic effect of cyclosporine in man is controversial. A randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of a single oral dose of cyclosporine (20 mg/kg body weight) on mean blood pressure (MBP), heart rate (HR), forearm blood flow (FBF), and vascular resistance (FVR) in 16 healthy adult subjects. Subjects were studied twice, w...

متن کاملBlood Pressure and Vascular Disease in Older Men (page 1053)
Few prospective studies have specifically investigated the effect of blood pressure on vascular risk at older age, and particularly in the elderly (such as those aged ≥85 years). In this issue of Hypertension, we report findings from an Australian prospective cohort study of 7564 men aged 65 to 94 years. During a mean follow-up of 11 years, there were 1557 major vascular events. Continuous log-...
