"Estudo do perfil morfológico e imunofenotípico dos linfócitos do sangue periférico de pacientes portadores de micose fungóide nas fases precoce e avançada" / Study of morphologic and immunophenotypic profile lymphocytes on peripheral blood from patients with mycosis fungoides in early and advanced stagesOliveira, Patrícia Aparecida Ferreira de 30 September 2005 (has links)
Com o objetivo de avaliar os linfócitos do sangue periférico na micose fungóide, foram realizados hemograma e imunofenotipagem por citometria de fluxo de 40 doentes e de 26 indivíduos saudáveis. Verificou-se que células de Sézary acima de 7% e linfócitos pleomórficos acima de 24% estiveram presentes apenas na doença. Alterações quantitativas, qualitativas, perda de marcadores imunofenotípicos e presença de populações linfocitárias com tamanhos distintos, na citometria, foram verificadas nos doentes mais precocemente que alterações numéricas e morfológicas do hemograma / Aiming to evaluate peripheral blood lymphocytes in mycosis fungoides, we have performed hemogram and immunophenotyping by flow cytometry in about 40 patients and 26 healthy people. We have noticed that only diseased patients presented Sézary cells higher than 7% and pleomorphic cells higher than 24%. Quantitative and qualitative changes, loss of immunophenotyping markers and the presence of lymphocytes populations with different size, on flow cytometry, were firstly verified on patients rather than numeric and morphologic changes in

Cbx4 regulates the proliferation of thymic epithelial cells and thymus functionLiu, B., Liu, Y. F., Du, Y. R., Mardaryev, A. N., Yang, W., Chen, H., Xu, Z. M., Xu, C. Q., Zhang, X. R., Botchkarev, V. A., Zhang, Y., Xu, G. L. January 2013 (has links)
Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) are the main component of the thymic stroma, which supports T-cell proliferation and repertoire selection. Here, we demonstrate that Cbx4, a Polycomb protein that is highly expressed in the thymic epithelium, has an essential and non-redundant role in thymic organogenesis. Targeted disruption of Cbx4 causes severe hypoplasia of the fetal thymus as a result of reduced thymocyte proliferation. Cell-specific deletion of Cbx4 shows that the compromised thymopoiesis is rooted in a defective epithelial compartment. Cbx4-deficient TECs exhibit impaired proliferative capacity, and the limited thymic epithelial architecture quickly deteriorates in postnatal mutant mice, leading to an almost complete blockade of T-cell development shortly after birth and markedly reduced peripheral T-cell populations in adult mice. Furthermore, we show that Cbx4 physically interacts and functionally correlates with p63, which is a transcriptional regulator that is proposed to be important for the maintenance of the stemness of epithelial progenitors. Together, these data establish Cbx4 as a crucial regulator for the generation and maintenance of the thymic epithelium and, hence, for thymocyte development.

Effect of Moderate Exercise on Proliferative Responses of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear CellsSmith, J, Chi, D, Salazar, S, Krish, G., Berk, S., Reynolds, S., Cambron, G. 01 June 1993 (has links)
We studied the effects of 30 minutes of exercise on T lymphocyte counts and proliferative responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in 25 runners. Exercise resulted in a T lymphocytosis in the immediate post-exercise period in all subjects (p < 0.001), and reduced CD4+/CD8+ ratios in 22/25 subjects (p = 0.001). The change was due primarily to a 2.2-fold increase in CD8+ cells (p < 0.001). Exercise also reduced PBMC mitogenic responses to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in 13/14 subjects (p = 0.049), and to pokeweed mitogen (PWM) in 11/14 subjects (p = 0.022), but not to concanavalin A. Postrun sera from 5 of 6 subjects inhibited PHA but not PWM responses of resting autologous PBMC with normal CD4+/CD8+ ratios (p < or = 0.05): indomethacin and monocyte depletion blocked the serum inhibition (p = 0.003, p = 0.0006, respectively). We conclude that post-exercise suppression of mitogenic responses to PHA is due to the release of a serum factor(s) capable of inducing prostaglandin synthesis by circulating monocytes, whereas exercise-induced suppression of PWM responses depends primarily on the reversal of CD4+/CD8+ ratios.
