Some Basic Aspects of HLA-G Biology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) is a low polymorphic nonclassical HLA-I molecule restrictively expressed and with suppressive functions. HLA-G gene products are quite complex, with seven HLA-G isoforms, four membrane bound, and other three soluble isoforms that can suffer different posttranslational modifications or even complex formations. In addition, HLA-G has been described included in exosomes. In this review we will focus on HLA-G biochemistry with special emphasis to the mechanisms that regulate its expression and how the protein modifications affect the quantification in biological fluids.

HLA-G بررسی ساختار و عملکرد
HLA-G is a nonclassical HLA class Ib, which is located on chromosome 6 (6p.21.3). In contrast to HLA class I molecules, HLA-G has restricted polymorphism. Expression of this molecule in the physiological conditions limits to certain tissues such as thymus, cornea, nail matrix, trophoblast and pancreas. Up to now, 50 alleles of HLA-G molecules have been discovered with 16 distinct functional pro...
متن کاملThe Potential of HLA-G-Bearing Extracellular Vesicles as a Future Element in HLA-G Immune Biology
The HLA-G molecule is a member of the non-classical HLA class I family. Its surface expression is physiologically restricted to the maternal-fetal interface and to immune privileged adult tissues. Despite the restricted tissue expression, HLA-G is detectable in body fluids as secreted soluble molecules. A unique feature of HLA-G is the structural diversity as surface expressed and as secreted m...

Background: Research says that diabetes may develop in over 10% of non-diabetic pregnant women. Diabetes which generally occurs late in second trimester and third trimester of pregnancy, it is called gestational diabetes. Overweight or suffering from obesity before pregnancy is type 2 diabetes risk factor. In most cases, diabetic symptoms disappear after delivery. HLA-G has an important role bo...
متن کاملCorrelation of Tissue Distribution of HLA-G and HLA-E and Degree of Tumor Malignancy in Patients with Breast Cancer
Background and Aims: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules play a substantial role in T Lymphocyte-mediated adaptive immune response. Down-regulation of HLA expression may help the tumor to escape from immune surveillance. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between HLA-G and HLA-E tissue distribution and the degree of tumor malignancy in human breast tumors. Materials and Methods:...

Background: HLA-G, as a tolerogenic molecule, expressed in cytotrophoblast cells and playing an important role in the suppression of the immune response in maternal decidua. Today Interaction of the extracellular domains of HLA-G protein with cell receptors of immune system, including CD8, LILRB1, LILRB2 and killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor KIR2DL4, was well known. Materials and Methods...
