Investigations of the Genetic aspects of the mixed Lymphocyte culture reaction in Southern Africa

du Toit, Ernette D 16 April 2020 (has links)
The genetic relationship between the serologically detectable antigens of the HLA-A and B loci and the mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) reaction is of utmost importance in the understanding of histocompatibility. From the literature it appeared that neither the HLA-A, B genotype nor the MLC reaction is the complete answer to donorrecipient selection in organ transplantation. This study was therefore initiated in June 1971 in an attempt to clarify the problem. It is inherent in a project of this nature that much time is spent in collecting samples from donors in diverse areas. Most experiments had to be repeated two or three times, therefore some of the problems we set out to resolve were clarified by other workers before we were able to complete our investigations.

Efeito in vitro do polimorfismo ala16val do gene da superóxido dismutase dependente de manganês no metabolismo oxidativo de linfócitos / In vitro effect of ala16val polimorphism og superoxide dismutase enzyme manganese dependente in oxidative metabolism of linphocytes

Montagner, Greice Franciele Feyh dos Santos 05 March 2010 (has links)
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / Epidemiological studies suggest that the imbalance in antioxidant enzymes activity genetically caused, increases the risk of metabolic disorders and chronic noncommunicable diseases. This is the case of polymorphism that occurs in an substitution of Alanine (A) by a Valine (V) at codon 16 of the gene for superoxide dismutase manganese-dependent (Ala16Val-SOD2). The A allele has a higher efficiency of catalysis than allele V. However, this efficiency increases the levels of H2O2 leading to a consequent oxidative imbalance that, in turn, increases the risk of cancer. Furthermore, the V allele that presents a smaller efficiecy SOD2 is associated with endothelial dysfunction and cardiometabolic. Therefore, Ala16VALSOD2 polymorphism serves as a model for in vitro analysis of differential responses to pro and antioxidants factors. The objective of this study was to investigate the in vitro response of lymphocytes culture with different genotypes (AA, VV and AV) from healthy subjects exposed to ultraviolet (UV) is a pro-oxidant factor. In lymphocyte not exposed and UV exposed it was analyzed the cytotoxic variables (cell viability, mitotic index), biomarkers of oxidative metabolism (lipid peroxidation, enzymatic activity of SOD, catalase, thiol groups, protein carbonylation, total polyphenols and ascorbic acid) and genotoxic effects (by Comet Assay and chromosomal instability). The results showed that cells carrying the AA genotype had higher cell viability and mitotic index. However, after UV exposure such viability was similar between genotypes. At baseline levels higher SOD and total polyphenol levels were observed in AA genotype when compared to the VV genotype. However, lymphocytes AA had higher rates of DNA damage in the presence of UV radiation. These results suggest that the polymorphism Ala16Val-SOD2 may differentially affect the toxicity factors such as UV radiation. / Estudos epidemiológicos sugerem que o desbalanço na atividade de enzimas antioxidantes, geneticamente causado, aumenta o risco de disfunções metabólicas e doenças crônicas não-transmissíveis. Este é o caso do polimorfismo em que ocorre uma troca da Alanina (A) por uma Valina (V) no códon 16 do gene da enzima superóxido dismutase dependente de manganês (Ala16Val-SOD2). O alelo A possui uma eficiência de catálise maior do que o alelo V. Entretanto, esta maior eficiência aumenta os níveis de H2O2 levando a um conseqüente desbalanço oxidativo que, por sua vez, aumenta o risco de neoplasias. Por outro lado, o alelo V que apresenta uma SOD2 menos eficiente está associado a disfunções endoteliais e cardiometabólicas. Portanto, este polimorfismo serve como modelo in vitro para análises de respostas diferenciais a agentes pró e antioxidantes. Sendo assim, o objetivo desse estudo foi investigar a resposta in vitro de cultura de linfócitos com diferentes genótipos (AA, VV e AV), provenientes de indivíduos saudáveis, expostas a radiação ultravioleta (UV) que é um fator pró-oxidante. Antes e após exposição, foram analisados os efeitos citotóxicos (viabilidade celular e índice mitótico), indicadores do metabolismo oxidativo (peroxidação lipídica, atividade enzimática da SOD, catalase, grupos tióis, polifenóis totais e de ácido ascórbico) e efeitos genotóxicos (dano de DNA pelo Ensaio Cometa e instabilidade cromossômica,). Os resultados mostraram que as células portadoras do genótipo AA apresentaram maior viabilidade celular e índice mitótico. Entretanto, após a exposição UV tal viabilidade foi similar entre os genótipos. Em condições basais níveis elevados de SOD e polifenóis totais plasmáticos foram observados no genótipo AA em relação ao genótipo VV. Porém, linfócitos AA apresentaram maior índice de danos no DNA na presença da radiação UV. Estes resultados sugerem que o polimorfismo Ala16Val- SOD2 pode afetar diferencialmente a toxicidade a fatores como a radiação UV.
