| 1 | The modulation of co-stimulatory molecules by circulating exosomes in primary biliary cirrhosis显示文摘Exosomes 是 endocytic 起源的 nanoparticles,由由他们调制 cell-to-cell 通讯的能力的优点正在吸引增加的注意的无数房间人口藏匿了。他们也在许多免疫学的问题正在吸引注意,包括 autoimmunity 和,特别地调整 cytokine 和 chemokine 激活的他们的能力。主要胆汁的肝硬化(PBC ) 被认为一个模型自体免疫疾病,它对胆汁的上皮的房间有高度集中的细胞毒素的回答。我们与 PBC 和 30 健康控制(HC ) 从 29 个病人从血浆孤立 exosomes,并且用一个前 vivo 系统在 mononuclear 房间人口在 co-stimulatory 分子表示和 cytokine 生产上学习了这些 exosomes 的效果。我们也与 HC exosomes 相比在 PBC 识别了 microRNA (miRNA ) 人口。我们此处报导尽管 exosomes 不改变 cytokine 生产,他们显著地确实在介绍抗原的人口上改变 co-stimulatory 分子表示。进一步,我们在 CD14 + 单核白血球上表明了那 CD86 起来调整的表情,而在 CD11c + 上起来调整的 CD40 由从有 PBC 的病人的 exosomes 的树枝状的房间。另外,有在有 PBC 的病人的传播 exosomes 的 miRNA 表示的差别。这些数据基于 co-stimulatory 分子玩的观察有重要重要性在 T 房间激活的规定的一个微分角色。我们的观察显示从 PBC 的异常 exosomes 有选择地在介绍抗原的房间的不同子集导致 co-stimulatory 分子的表示。这些改变可以在自体免疫的肝疾病的致病包含。 | Takashi Tomiyama Guo-Xiang Yang Ming Zhao Weici Zhang Hajime Tanaka Jing Wang Patrick SC Leung Kazuiclli Okazaki Xiao-Song He Qianjin Lu Ross L Coppel Christopher L Bowlus M Eric Gershwin | 2017 | Cellular & Molecular Immunology2017,14,3: | 18 |
| 3 | Racial/ethnic disparities in hepatocellular carcinoma treatment and survival in California, 1988-2012显示文摘AIM To describe racial/ethnic differences in treatment and survival among liver cancer patients in a populationbased cancer registry.METHODS Invasive cases of primary hepatocellular carcinoma, n = 33270, diagnosed between January 1, 1988-December 31, 2012 and reported to the California Cancer Registry were analyzed by race/ethnicity, age, gender, geographical region, socio-economic status, time period of diagnosis, stage, surgical treatment, and survival. Patients were classified into 15 racial/ethnic groups: non-Hispanic White(White, n = 12710), Hispanic(n = 8500), Chinese(n = 2723), non-Hispanic Black(Black, n = 2609), Vietnamese(n = 2063), Filipino(n = 1479), Korean(n = 1099), Japanese(n = 658), American Indian/Alaskan Native(AIAN, n = 281), Laotian/Hmong (n = 244), Cambodian(n = 233), South Asian(n = 190), Hawai`ian/Pacific Islander(n = 172), Thai(n = 95), and Other Asian(n = 214). The main outcome measures were receipt of surgical treatment, and cause-specific and all-cause mortality.RESULTS After adjustment for socio-demographic characteristics, time period, and stage of disease, compared to Whites, Laotian/Hmong [odds ratio(OR) = 0.30, 95%CI: 0.17-0.53], Cambodian(OR = 0.65, 95%CI: 0.45-0.96), AIAN(OR = 0.66, 95%CI: 0.46-0.93), Black(OR = 0.76, 95%CI: 0.67-0.86), and Hispanic(OR = 0.78, 95%CI: 0.72-0.84) patients were less likely, whereas Chinese(OR = 1.58, 95%CI: 1.42-1.77), Koreans(OR = 1.45, 95%CI: 1.24-1.70), Japanese(OR = 1.41, 95%CI: 1.15-1.72), and Vietnamese(OR = 1.26, 95%CI: 1.12-1.42) were more likely to receive surgical treatment. After adjustment for the same covariates and treatment, cause-specific mortality was higher for Laotian/Hmong [(hazard ratio(HR) = 1.50, 95%CI: 1.29-1.73)], Cambodians(HR = 1.35, 95%CI: 1.16-1.58), and Blacks(HR = 1.07, 95%CI: 1.01-1.13), and lower for Chinese(HR = 0.82, 95%CI: 0.77-0.86), Filipinos(HR = 0.84, 95%CI: 0.78-0.90), Vietnamese(HR = 0.85, 95%CI: 0.80-0.90), Koreans(HR = 0.90, 95%CI: 0.83-0.97), and Hispanics(HR = 0.91, 95%CI: 0.88-0.94); results were similar for all-cause mortality.CONCLUSION Disaggregated data revealed substantial racial/ethnic differences in liver cancer treatment and survival, demonstrating the need for development of targeted interventions to mitigate disparities. | Susan L Stewart Sandy L Kwong Christopher L Bowlus Tung T Nguyen Annette E Maxwell Roshan Bastani Eric W Chak Moon S Chen Jr | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,38: | 1 |
| 5 | In situ mass spectrometry of autoimmune liver diseases显示文摘Primary biliary cirrhosis(PBC),primary sclerosing cholangitis(PSC)and autoimmune hepatitis(AIH)are the major forms of autoimmune liver diseases each characterized by the destruction of a specific liver cell type and the presence of differing auto-antibodies.We took a proteomic approach utilizing in situ matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry(MALDI MS)to obtain profiles directly from liver samples of patients with PBC,PSC,AIH and controls.The ability to precisely localize the region for acquisition of MALDI MS allowed us to obtain profiles from bile ducts,inflammatory infiltrates and hepatocytes from each biopsy sample.Analysis tools developed to identify peaks and compare peaks across diseases and cell types were used to develop models to classify the samples.Using an initial set of testing samples from PBC patients and controls,we identified unique peaks present in bile ducts,inflammatory infiltrates and hepatocytes that could classify samples in a validation cohort with 88–91%accuracy.Interestingly,profiles of PSC and AIH did not differ significantly from PBC.Identification of proteins in these peaks may represent novel autoantigens or effector molecules.These findings illustrate the potential of a proteomic approach to autoimmune diseases with in situ MALDI MS. | Christopher L Bowlus Erin H Seeley Joanna Roder Julia Grigorieva Heinrich Roder Richard M Caprioli M Eric Gershwin | 2011 | Cellular & Molecular Immunology2011,8,3: | 1 |
