Entzündungsparameter und Vorläufermarker bei der Coronaratherosklerose

Golbs, Sebastian 07 April 2010 (has links) (PDF)
Atherosklerotische Arterien unterliegen strukturellem Umbau und chronischer Inflammation, die von einer dynamischen Entwicklung von Vasa vasorum (VV) begleitet wird. Die Beteiligung von Leukozyten und von vaskulären Vorläuferzellen an der Neovaskularisierung sowie die intimale Hyperplasie stehen im Zentrum der Atheroskleroseforschung. Damit verbundene Erkenntnisse könnten neue therapeutische Ansätze ermöglichen. Die vorliegende Arbeit befaßt sich mit der morphologischen Verteilung von Leukozyten (CD45, CD68, Mastzellen) und von Zellen mit Vorläufermarkern (CD34, CD117, VEGFR-2) in menschlichen Coronararterien mit verschiedenen atherosklerotischen Schweregraden. Mittels immunhistologischer Technik wurden Intima und Adventitia untersucht und die Ergebnisse zu den atherosklerotischen Schweregraden und der Neovaskularisierung korreliert. In Intima, Adventitia und dem perivaskulären Fettgewebe hat die Dichte der CD45+ Lymphozyten ihr Maximum im atherosklerotischen Grad 3. Dabei konnte sowohl in der Intima als auch in der Adventitia gezeigt werden, daß eine lineare Korrelation der CD45+ Lymphozyteninfiltration und VV-Dichte vorliegt. Es wurden zwei unterschiedliche Entzündungsmuster festgestellt. Beide zeigen in Grad 3 eine Zunahme der Zelldichten. In Grad 4-5 fällt die Dichte des einen Musters (CD45+, VEGFR-2+, VV) jedoch ab, während die Dichte des anderen Musters (CD34+, CD68+, Tryptase+, CD117+) in Grad 4-5 keine Veränderung aufweist. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, daß Leukozyten und vaskuläre Vorläuferzellen im Verlauf der Atherogenese wechselnde Funktionen wahrnehmen können. Sie nehmen offensichtlich VV als Eintrittspforte in die Gefäßwand.

THE ROLE OF THE MECHANICAL ENVIRONMENT ON CD117+ ENDOTHELIAL CELL ANGIOGENESIS

Link, Patrick 01 January 2019 (has links)
Angiogenesis is a complex process coordinating cell migration, proliferation, and lumen formation. Changes to the microenvironment regulate angiogenesis through mechanotransduction and cytokine signals. In pulmonary hypertension, something in the process becomes abnormal, resulting in changes to the microenvironment and the formation of a glomerulus of dysfunctional capillaries, called a plexiform lesion. Endothelial cells, expressing CD117 (CD117+ EC clones) increase in the plexiform lesions of pulmonary hypertension, independent of pro-angiogenic VEGF signaling. We hypothesize that the mechanical environment and the macromolecular composition of the extracellular matrix, both, contribute to the aberrant angiogenesis. When we changed the mechanical environment, we changed the angiogenic potential and cellular phenotype of CD117+ Endothelial cell clones. Turbulent flow, pathologic substrate stiffness, and pathologic stretch increased Endothelial-to-mesenchymal markers, such as acta2, cnn1, snail, and slug in CD117+ EC clones while CD117- ECs showed minimal change. We perturbed the mechanical environment of CD117+ EC clones and identified changes in Bone Morphogenic Protein-2, an often overlooked pro-angiogenic cytokine. We coupled changes in the mechanical environment to Rho GTPase intracellular signaling, to predict how changes to the mechanotransduction would affect angiogenesis through a computational model. In our model of angiogenesis, we found vessel synchronicity to depend on both which cell undergoes mitosis, and also at which phase of GTPase cycling the cell undergoes mitosis. We believe changes to the GTPase cycling may be the mechanism linking mechanotransduction to the abnormal vessels found in pulmonary hypertension. We are the first group to look at the role of the ECM composition, independent of stiffness. Our results show diseased ECM composition alone leads to phenotypic changes indicative of PH progression. In conclusion, these results provide a possible cytokine implicated in the mechanotransduction of PH, established a computational model of angiogenesis which provides a mechanotransduction mechanism of disease progression, and established that the ECM composition alone is capable of phenotypic changes leading to disease progression.

Expressão imunoistoquímica de CD117 no carcinoma epidermóide de esôfago / CD117 expression in squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus

Maino, Marcelo Marafon January 2008 (has links)
Objetivo: Investigar a expressão imunoistoquímica de CD117 em um grupo de pacientes com carcinoma epidermóide de esôfago Pacientes e Métodos: Vinte e sete pacientes com carcinoma epidermóide de esôfago submetidos à ressecção cirúrgica no Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul foram avaliados para imunoreatividade do CD117. Como grupo controle, foram utilizadas biópsias de mucosa esofágica de dez indivíduos saudáveis. A avaliação imunoistoquímica dos tecidos foi realizada com anticorpo monoclonal anti-CD117 (DAKO). Resultados: Foram avaliados 21 (78%) homens e 6 (12%) mulheres com idade média de 58 anos (36 a 77). A maioria dos pacientes apresentava estadiamento TNM IIb ou III, e a sobrevida média foi de 21 meses (2 a 72). A reação imunoistoquímica em membrana produzida pelo anticorpo anti-CD117 foi considerada positiva em 4 dos 27 dos casos analisados (15%) . Conclusões: Esses achados sugerem que CD117 deve ser investigado como marcador para o carcinoma epidermóide de esôfago. Estudos adicionais são necessários em outras amostras populacionais, para melhor definir o papel do CD117 nesses tumores. / Aim: To investigate the CD117 expression in specimens of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus (SCCE). Methods: A pilot study was performed for CD177 immunoreactivity, using a monoclonal antibody against CD117 (DAKO), on 27 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma specimens from patients who underwent surgical resection at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. As a control group, specimens of esophageal mucosa obtained from 10 healthy subjects were also studied. Results: Twenty-one (78%) males and six (12%) females with median (sd) age of 58 (8) years, ranging from 36 to 77 years. Most of the patients were of TNM stage IIb or III and mean overall survival was 21 (2 to 72) months. Cytoplasmic membrane CD117 immunoreactivity was demonstrated in only 4 (15%) out of 27 tumors and in none of the controls (0%). Conclusions: These results suggest that the decreased expression of CD117 may be due to lack of control of the cell cycle in SCCE. Additional studies are needed to better define the role of the CD117 in such tumors.
