(2'-5') oligo adenylate synthetase activity in leucocytes of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

چکیده
The activity of an interferon induced enzyme, (2',5') oligo adenylate synthetase, was determined in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and granulocytes of patients with inflammatory bowel disease and compared with its activity in cells isolated from normal subjects. In spite of the fact that circulating interferon is detected in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, we failed to see any increase in (2',5') oligo adenylate synthetase activity in these patients. The mean +/- SE enzyme activity given in nmol ATP incorporated into (2',5') isoadenylate oligomers by extracts of 10(5) peripheral blood mononuclear cells/21 hours was in normal subjects 1.84 +/- 0.30 (n = 27), in patients with active Crohn's disease 1.38 +/- 0.15 (n = 20) and in patients with active ulcerative colitis 1.14 +/- 0.23 (n = 21). (2',5') oligo adenylate synthetase activity in granulocytes was also similar in normal subjects and in patients with active ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. The enzyme activity in patients with active disease was similar both prior to and during steroid therapy. The low (2',5') oligo adenylate synthetase activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and granulocytes of patients with active inflammatory bowel disease may reflect decreased cellular response to interferon or a difference in the type of interferon elevated in viral diseases and in inflammatory bowel disease.

متن کاملValidation of the Persian version of the inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (IBDQ) in ulcerative colitis patients
Abstract Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine that may have critical consequences on patient’s quality of life (QOL). Many disease-specific QOL tools have been developed recently. The McMaster Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) is one of them. The aim of this study was to translate into Persian and eval...

Background and aims: In diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease, one of diagnostic way is upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, which helps in differential diagnosis of unspecified colitis as well. The aim of this study was to investigate the necessity of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of fecal calprotectin in assessing the severity of inflammatory bowel disease: From laboratory to clinic
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves chronic inflammation of the digestive tract. In the past decades, fecal calprotectin has been proposed as a useful biomarker for the differential diagnosis between IBD patients and healthy controls. We designed this study to evaluate the diagnostic ability of fecal calprotectin (FC) and conventional inflammatory markers in IBD patients. M...

2',5'-Oligoadenylate [2',5'-oligo(A)] was separated from 14C-labeled nucleosides produced in the 2',5'-oligo(A) synthetase assay by using 100-microliters columns of Dowex 1. No detectable nucleoside remained on the column after elution with 20 column volumes of water, whereas less than 1% of oligonucleotides were eluted from the column. At least 99% of oligonucleotides were eluted from the colu...
