Transitional B cells and CD21low in patients with ataxia-telangiectasia

چکیده
Methods Blood samples were obtained from 18 AT patients and 15 age-sex-matched controls (C). This study was approved by the Medical Ethic Committee of the Federal University of Sao Paulo. Total numbers of T, B, and NK cells were enumerated from whole blood samples using TruCount Tubes. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were cryopreserved, thawed and stained with conjugated monoclonal antibodies: antiCD19-PerCP anti-CD3-APCCy7, anti-CD24-PE, antiCD21-APC, anti-CD38-PECy7. Five-color flow cytometric immunophenotyping was performed on a BD LSRFortessa (BD Biosciences), and data were analyzed with FlowJo software (TreeStar, Stanford University, CA). Transitional B cells were characterized as CD3 CD19CD24CD38, and CD21low B cells as CD3 CD19CD21CD38. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 20.0 and STATA 12, and a significance threshold of <0.05 was used.

Ataxia-Telangiectasia (AT) is a rare human neurodegenerative autosomal recessive multisystem disease that is characterized by a wide range of features including, progressive cerebellar ataxia with onset during infancy, occulocutaneous telangiectasia, susceptibility to neoplasia, occulomotor disturbances, chromosomal instability and growth and developmental abnormalities. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDN...

BackgroundAtaxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a common genetically inherited cause of early childhood-onset ataxia. The infrequency of this disease, vast phenotype variation, disorders with features similar to those of A-T, and lack of definite laboratory test, make diagnosis difficult. In addition, there is no rapid reliable laboratory method for identifying A-T heterozygotes, who susceptible to i...
متن کاملAutoimmune Hemolytic Anemia in a Patient with Probable Ataxia Telangiectasia: A Case Report
Background: Ataxia telangiectasia (AT) is one of the combined immunodeficiency syndromes with immunologic, neurologic, endocrinologic, hepatic and cutaneous abnormalities. Regarding the fact that autoimmune disorders; such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), are not generally expected in the course of AT, we present a patient with an unusual presentation of these two conditions. Case present...

Peripheral blood lymphocytes from four patients with ataxia telangiectasia (AT), an inherited disorder showing, among other features, radiosensitivity and a high frequency of cancers, were shown to be cytogenetically more sensitive to bleomycin than were lymphocytes from both normal individuals and a single patient with xeroderma pigmentosum. With cell survival techniques, a biphasic dose-respo...
متن کاملThe p53-dependent G1 cell cycle checkpoint pathway and ataxia-telangiectasia.
The p53 protein is a critical participant in a signal transduction pathway which mediates a G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptotic cell death in mammalian cells after ionizing irradiation. Cells from patients with the cancer-prone, radiation-sensitive disorder, ataxia-telangiectasia (AT), exhibit suboptimal (delayed and/or defective) induction of p53 protein after ionizing radiation with some depen...
