Abstract

The expression of the apoptosis-inducing ligands, TNF-alpha, FasL and TRAIL on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and the levels of their soluble form (TNF-alpha, sFasL and sTRAIL) in plasma from 40 hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) patients as well as 26 healthy blood donors were determined by flow cytometry (FCM) analysis and sandwich ELISA, respectively. The status of Th1, Th2, Tc1 and Tc2 subsets in PBMC was evaluated by intracellular cytokine staining and FCM. Compared to controls, the expression of membrane bound FasL and TRAIL was up-regulated on surface of PBMC isolated from the HFRS patients, particularly on CD8+ T lymphocytes. The levels of TNF-alpha, sFasL and sTRAIL in plasma from the HFRS patients in the acute phase increase 4.7-fold, 6.0-fold and 1.8-fold, respectively, over those from the healthy donors. The percentage of Th1, Tc1 and Tc2 subsets in PBMC from the patients also increased significantly compared with those from healthy donors. These results indicate that dynamic changes occurred in both the membrane bound and soluble forms of apoptosis-inducing ligands (FasL, TRAIL and TNF-alpha) and proportions of Th1 and CTL in HFRS patients increased. Both factors may play an important role in t...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Cell Adhesion Molecules in the Brain

Cell adhesion molecules found on cell surface help cells bind with other cells or the extracellular matrix to maintain structure and function. Here is the latest research on their role in the brain.
