Background: Diabetes is an important metabolic disease with myriad manifestations and complications, affecting many people. Cutaneous infections impact numerous diabetic patients. Among different bacterial infections in diabetic patients, the infections caused by mycobacteria other than Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MOTT) eventuate in complications owing to the paucity of accurate detection...
Conversion of Proepithelin to Epithelins Roles of SLPI and Elastase in Host Defense and Wound Repair
Increased leukocyte elastase activity in mice lacking secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) leads to impaired wound healing due to enhanced activity of TGFbeta and perhaps additional mechanisms. Proepithelin (PEPI), an epithelial growth factor, can be converted to epithelins (EPIs) in vivo by unknown mechanisms with unknown consequences. We found that PEPI and EPIs exert opposing activi...
This paper presents a case of the moderate form of Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type 1 (LAD-1) in a 4 year-old boy. LAD-1 is a rare, inherited immunodeficiency that affects 1 in 1 million people yearly. Affected patients are susceptible to recurrent bacterial and fungal infections, impaired pus formation and delayed wound healing. In the oral clinical finding, more important is a generalized p...
Bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency (BLAD) is a genetically transmitted disease and inherited as an autosomal recessive defect. Keeping this in view the present study was conducted to estimate incidence of carrier animals in a herd of breeding bulls for mutation in Integrin â2 gene, reared at Frozen Semen Bull Station (FSBS), Haringhata, Nadia, West Bengal, India. A total of 80 bulls of differ...
A cellular defect associated with decreased bactericidal activity of the polymorphonuclear leukocyte has been found in a 2(1/2) yr old Negro boy with the typical clinical and pathological findings of chronic granulomatous disease. Unlike previously described patients his polymorphonuclear leukocytes were shown to undergo apparently normal degranulation and vacuole formation after phagocytosis. ...
We wanted to determine the immunoprotective behaviour of cell wall protein peptidoglycan complex (CW-PPC) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra, using liposomes as adjuvant, in an experimental animal model. Immunization of mice with CW-PPC entrapped in liposomes induced both humoral response, as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and cell-mediated immune responses, as seen by ...
Infections due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria species are problematic for immunodeficient individuals. Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases (MSMD) defines a group of genetic defects affecting cellular interactions and the interferon (IFN)-γ pathway. Patients with MSMD may present with a disseminated infection resulting from the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine, Mycobacterium tube...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Lynch Syndrome (LS) is caused by pathogenic germline variants in one of the mismatch repair (MMR) genes. However, up to 60% of MMR-deficient colorectal cancer cases are categorized as suspected Lynch Syndrome (sLS) because no pathogenic MMR germline variant can be identified, which leads to difficulties in clinical management. We therefore analyzed the genomic regions of 15 ...
Patients with the leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) syndrome have a genetic defect in the common beta 2-chain (CD18) of the leukocyte integrins. This defect can result in the absence of cell surface expression of all three members of the leukocyte integrins. We investigated the capacity of T cell clones obtained from the blood of an LAD patient and of normal T cell clones to adhere to human u...
Although Src family kinases participate in leukocyte function in vitro, such as integrin signal transduction, their role in inflammation in vivo is poorly understood. We show that Src family kinases play a critical role in myeloid cell-mediated in vivo inflammatory reactions. Mice lacking the Src family kinases Hck, Fgr, and Lyn in the hematopoietic compartment were completely protected from au...
