    Notes: The three-dimensional structure of a mutant human lysozyme, C77A-a, in which the residue Cys77 is replaced by alanine, has been refined to an R value of 0.125 using 8230 reflections in the resolution range 10.0–1.8 Å. It has been shown that C77A-a, in which the counterpart of Cys77 (Cys95) is modified with glutathione, has been shown to mimic an intermediate in the formation of the disulfide bond Cys77–Cys95 during the folding of human lysozyme [Hayano, Inaka, Otsu, Taniyama, Miki, Matsushima & Kikuchi (1993). FEBS Lett. 328, 203–208]. An earlier structure demonstrates that its overall structure is essentially identical to that of the wild-type protein and served as the starting model. The refined model includes atoms for all protein residues (1–130), 20 glutathione atoms and 113 water atoms. Further refinement shows more clearly the details of the protein, the bound glutathione molecule and solvent structure. However, the main-chain folding and the atomic thermal factors of the loop region from Thr70 to Leu79 were highly affected by the binding of the glutathione molecule, as compared with those of the wild-type protein. The bound glutathione shifted the main-chain atoms from Va174 to Ala77 by more than 6.0 Å, and the temperature factors of the atoms in the loop region were quite high (more than 40 Å2), indicating that the backbone conformation of this region is highly flexible and that the loop region is not folded in the specific conformation observed in the wild-type protein. These results strongly suggest that the loop structure in human lysozyme is folded later than the other regions of the protein in vivo, as observed in in vitro folding. Since the bound glutathione is efficiently and irreversibly dissociated by protein disulfide isomerase, the glutathione molecule may act as a protecting group to prevent the formation of an incorrect disulfide bond in the protein folding process in vivo.

    Molecular genetic analysis of a hybrid gene encoding Sta glycophorin of the human erythrocyte membrane (1989)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 1989-08-01
    Description: Sta is an antigen of the human MNSs blood group system carried by a variant glycophorin residing in the erythrocyte membrane. We examined the structure, organization, and inheritance of Sta gene identified in genomic DNA from an Oriental family. Southern blotting detected a useful genetic marker tightly linked to the Sta gene. Differential hybridization and secondary restriction analyses showed that Sta gene is a fusion hybrid of delta and alpha glycophorin genes. Genomic mapping by extensive use of synthetic oligonucleotides, with overlapping sequence specificity, allowed us to define the delta-alpha junction site and disclose the organization of the variant gene. The junction point of Sta hybrid gene is encompassed by an unexpressed exonlike sequence of the delta gene at the 5′ site, and an expressed sequence of the alpha gene spanning codons 59 through 71, at the 3′ site. Dosage quantification demonstrated the occurrence of Sta gene as a single copy in the genome. Blood group inheritance, evaluated by DNA typing, established the tight linkage of Sta to the alpha M and delta S genes. The data support a single unequal crossing-over event between misaligned delta and alpha genes on the homologous chromosomes as the mechanism for the origin of Sta gene. The Sta gene is similar in overall structure to another delta-alpha hybrid gene, Dantu, but differs from it in junction structure, copy number, gene linkage, and antigen specificity.

    Expression of adult and fetal natural killer cell markers in sinonasal lymphomas [see comments] (1994)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-04-15
    Description: The majority of sinonasal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs) are thought to originate from T-cell lineage. However, they often express natural killer (NK)-cell markers so that their origin still remains obscure. In this study, cell type of sinonasal NHLs were characterized by immunohistochemical and Southern blot analyses. We examined nine patients with sinonasal NHL. Six patients with tonsillar or pharyngeal non-B-cell lymphomas served as a control group. Immunohistochemical study showed that all nine cases of sinonasal NHL were CD56+CD2+, whereas controls were CD56-CD2+. According to the rearrangement of T- cell receptors (TCRs) and expression of CD3 markers, the sinonasal NHL cases were classified into three groups: TCR-CD56(Leu-19)+CD3(Leu4)- NHL (three patients), TCR-CD56+CD3+ NHL (five patients), and TCR+CD56+CD3+ NHL (one patient). In contrast, control patients' NHLs were TCR+CD56-CD3+. These results imply that eight cases of TCR-CD56+ sinonasal NHL are of NK-cell lineage. Among these eight cases, TCR- CD56+CD3+ cases (five of eight patients) were rather similar to the phenotype of fetal NK cells. From these results, the majority of sinonasal NHLs seem to originate from varying maturation stages of NK- cell lineage.

    Lack of the t(2;5) or other mutations resulting in expression of anaplastic lymphoma kinase catalytic domain in CD30+ primary cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders and Hodgkin's disease (1996)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 1996-09-01
    Description: The t(2;5) (p23;q35) chromosomal translocation has been found in a high proportion of lymph node-based CD30+ large cell lymphomas of T-cell lineage. This translocation is believed to result in the expression of a fusion protein containing the catalytic domain of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) under the control of the promoter for nucleophosmin, a nucleolar phosphoprotein. Expression of ALK activity, which does not normally occur in lymphocytes, is postulated to be involved in the pathogenesis of lymphomas bearing the t(2;5) translocation. Several primary cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders and Hodgkin's disease are also known to contain CD30+ large lymphoid cells. To determine the role of the t(2;5) translocation in these diseases, we developed a DNA- based polymerase chain reaction (PCR)/Southern blot assay to detect this translocation at the genomic level in lymphomatoid papulosis (14 cases), primary cutaneous CD30+ large cell lymphoma of T-lineage (10 cases) and Hodgkin's disease (13 cases). Two cases of pityriasis lichenoides were also studied. The t(2;5) translocation was not present in any of these specimens. To determine if some other somatic mutation might have resulted in inappropriate expression of ALK catalytic domain, we devised an RNA-based reverse transcriptase-PCR assay to detect transcripts encoded by this ALK region. None were found in the six additional cases of lymphomatoid papulosis that were studied. In aggregate, these results strongly suggest that inappropriate expression of ALK is not involved in the pathogenesis of these CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders, and that lymph node-based CD30+ large cell lymphoma is a disease that is biologically distinct from skin- based CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders and Hodgkin's disease. Using methods developed for this report, we also cloned and sequenced the t(2;5) genomic junctional sequences present in the SUP-M2 and SU-DHL-1 cell lines. These intron sequences will be useful for mapping t(2;5) breakpoint clusters.

    Prognostic Analysis of Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) in JAPAN (2008)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 2008-11-16
    Description: Background: Since the incidence of HL in Japan is approximately one-third of that in western countries, there are few studies on validation of international prognostic score (IPS) in Japanese patients (pts) with HL. Patients and Methods: JCOG-LSG conducted 2 multicenter phase II trials for advanced HL, including ABVd (JCOG9305) and ABV followed by involved-field radiotherapy (JCOG9705). Because dacarbazine was highly emetic, and not approved for HL in Japan in those days, the dose of dacarbazine was reduced to a two-thirds (250 mg/m2) of that in original ABVD regimen in ABVd, and in ABV with increased dose of doxorubicin, dacarbazine was not utilized. Among the whole 200 enrolled pts, histopathological specimens from 181 pts were reviewed by 6 hematopathologists and consensus diagnosis of HL was made in 167 (92.3%), according to the WHO classification. Major eligibility criteria of the trials were age between 15 and 69, ECOG performance status of 0 to 3, and clinical stage of II, III or IV in JCOG9305, and IB, IIB, III or IV in JCOG 9705. Results: 5-year survival of the 167 patients was 88.3%. Histopathological distributions of 167 pts with HL were similar with those in western countries; 2 nodular lymphocytic predominance (1.2%), 115 nodular sclerosis (68.9%), 3 lymphocyte-rich (1.8%), 34 mixed cellularity (20.1%), 7 lymphocyte depletion (4.2%), and 6 unclassified (3.6%). IPS was poorly fitted for the overall survival (OS), mainly because of too good prognosis of patients with IPS-grade 6. Seven unfavorable prognostic factors for OS identified by the univariate analysis were male sex, high β2 microglobulin, B symptoms, high LDH, high alkaline-phosphatase, clinical stage of III or IV, and histopathological subtype (mixed cellularity or lymphocyte depletion). Excluding β2 microglobulin from analysis because of only 105 available data, male sex [HR 3.30 (95%CI: 1.15–9.52, p=0.027) ] and high LDH [HR 2.41 (95%CI: 1.07–5.43, p=0.034)] were significant independent risk factors in a multivariate analysis. Conclusions: Our study suggests that male sex and high LDH might be important prognostic factors in OS of pts with HL. Simple prognostic model for HL, including sex and LDH, was suggested.

    Characteristic karyotypic pattern in T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders with reactive "angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with dysproteinemia-type" features (1988)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 1988-08-01
    Description: We report the clinical, histological, immunophenotypic, and cytogenetic findings in ten patients with T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders demonstrating reactive “angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with dysproteinemia (AILD)-type” features. Fifteen available specimens were diagnosed as atypical hyperplasias (four) or malignant lymphomas (11). The latter were classified as AILD-type (five), T-zone (four), lymphoepithelioid (one), and low-grade, unclassified lymphoma (one). Despite the histologic differences, all these lesions shared minor nuclear atypicalities and reactive AILD-type features such as prominent vascularity, plasma cells, eosinophils, macrophages, and residual germinal centers. All lesions were immunophenotyped as predominantly T cell. The chromosome pattern was characterized by the frequent presence of karyotypically unrelated abnormal clones and/or cells with nonclonal chromosome abnormalities, a large population of normal mitotic cells, and a high incidence of trisomies 3 and 5. Sequential cytogenetic and histologic studies in five patients revealed that atypical hyperplasia and lymphoma with AILD-type features shared the same cytogenetic characteristics, ie, an unstable coexistence of normal mitotic cells and small-clonal and/or nonclonal abnormal cells, and that histologic transformation from low-grade lymphoma to immunoblastic lymphoma was accompanied by a selective proliferation of abnormal clonal cells. The AILD-type histology and the characteristic karyotypic pattern may be the expression of a specific pathogenesis and may warrant the separation of these neoplasias from other peripheral T-cell lymphomas.
