Fibrinolytic Proteins

SummaryGlu-plasminogen binds to platelets; the monocytoid line, U937, and the human fetal fibroblast line, GM1380 bind both plasminogen and its activator, urokinase. This study assesses the interaction of these fibrinolytic proteins with circulating human blood cells. Plasminogen bound minimally to red cells but bound saturably and reversibly to monocytes, granulocytes and lymphocytes with apparent Kd values of 0.9-1.4 μM. The interactions were of high capacity with 1.6 to 49 × 105 sites/cell and involved the lysine binding sites of plasminogen. Both T cells and non-rosetting lymphocytes and two B cell lines saturably bound plasminogen. Urokinase bound saturably to gianulocytes, monocytes, non-rosetting lymphocytes and a B cell line, but minimally to T cells, platelets and red cells. Therefore, plasminogen binding sites of high capacity, of similar affinities, and with common recognition specificities are expressed by many peripheral blood cells. Urokinase receptors are also widely distributed, but less so than plasminogen binding sites. The binding ol plasminogen and/ or urokinase to these cells may lead to generation of cell- associated proteolytic activity which contributes to a variety of cellular functions.

The Impact

Abstract In Poland, rabbit is a highly valued animal, due to dietetic and flavour values of its meat, but above all, rabbits tend to be commonly used laboratory animals. The aim of the study was developing standards for counts of B-cells with CD19+ receptor, T-cells with CD5+ receptor, and their subpopulations, namely T-cells with CD4+, CD8+ and CD25+ receptor in the peripheral blood of mixed-breed Polish rabbits with addition of blood of meet breeds, including the assessment of the impact of four seasons of the year and animal sex on the values of the immunological parameters determined. The results showed that the counts of B- and T-cells and their subpopulations in peripheral blood remain within the following ranges: for CD19+ B-cells: 1.05 - 3.05%, for CD5+ T-cells: 34.00 - 43.07%, CD4+ T-cells: 23.52 - 33.23%, CD8+ T-cells: 12.55 - 17.30%, whereas for CD25+ T-cells: 0.72 - 2.81%. As it comes to the season of the year, it was observed that it principally affects the values of CD25+ T-cells, while in the case of rabbit sex, more changes were found in females.

Acpa Status

Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a progressive erosive autoimmune disease that affects 1% of the world population. Anti-citrullinated protein autoantibodies (ACPA) are routinely used for the diagnosis of RA, however 20-30% of patients are ACPA negative. ACPA status is a delineator of RA disease endotypes with similar clinical manifestation but potentially different pathophysiology. Elucidating the underlying mechanisms of disease pathogenesis could inform a treat to target approach for both ACPA-positive and ACPA-negative RA patients.Objectives:To identify peripheral blood and synovial tissue immune population differences that associate with RA disease endotype.To identify unique RA patient synovial tissue gene signatures and enriched pathways that correlate with ACPA status.Methods:Detailed high dimensionality flow cytometric analysis with supervised and unsupervised algorithm analysis of ACPApos and ACPAneg RA patient peripheral blood and synovial tissue single cell suspensions. Ex vivo peripheral blood and synovial tissue T cell stimulation and cytokine production characterisation. RNAseq analysis with specific pathway enrichment analysis of APCApos and ACPAneg RA patient synovial tissue biopsies.Results:Detailed profiling based on high dimensionality flow cytometric analysis of key peripheral blood and synovial tissue immune populations including B cells, T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, T peripheral helper cells (Tph) and CD4 T cell proinflammatory cytokine responses with supervised and unsupervised algorithm analysis revealed unique RA patient peripheral blood B cell and Tfh cell profiles. ACPApos RA patients were characterised by significantly (*P=0.03) increased frequency of Tfh (CXCR5+CD4+) cells and distinct clustering influenced by increased switched (IgD-CD27+) and DN (IgD-CD27-) memory B cells compared to APCAneg RA patients. Surprisingly synovial tissue B cell subpopulation distribution was similar between ACPAneg and ACPApos RA patients, with significant accumulation of switched and double negative memory B cells, highlighting a key role for specific B cell subsets in both disease endotypes. Interestingly, synovial tissue CD4 T cell proinflammatory cytokine (TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-2, GM-CSF, IL-17A, IL-22, IL-4) production was markedly different between ACPAneg and APCApos RA patients with hierarchical clustering and PCA analysis revealing endotype specific cytokine profiles with ACPAneg RA patient synovial T cells showing increased TNF-α (P=0.01) expression. RNAseq analysis of RA patient synovial tissue revealed significant disease endotype specific gene signatures with specific enrichment for B cell receptor signalling and T cell specific pathways in ACPApos compared to ACPAneg RA patients. Additionally, significantly different chemokine receptor expression based on RA patient ACPA status was observed with increased CXCR3 (P<0.001), CCR7 (P=0.002), and CCR2 (P=0.004) but decreased CXCR7 (P=0.007) expression in APCApos compared to ACPAneg RA patient synovial biopsies.Conclusion:ACPA status associates with unique synovial tissue immune cell and gene profile signatures highlighting differences in the underlying immunological mechanisms involved, therefore reinforcing the need for a treat to target approach for both endotypes of RA.Figure 1.RNAseq analysis of synovial tissue biopsies revealed specific T cell related pathway enrichment in ACPA positive compared to ACPA negative RA patients (n=50, analysis performed with the DESq2 and pathfindeR pipelines in R).Disclosure of Interests:Achilleas Floudas: None declared, Mary Canavan: None declared, Trudy McGarry Employee of: Novartis, Vinod Krishna Employee of: Janssen, Sunil Nagpal Employee of: Janssen, GSK, Douglas Veale Speakers bureau: Abbvie, Janssen, Novartis, MSD, Pfizer, UCB, Consultant of: Abbvie, Janssen, Novartis, MSD, Pfizer, UCB, Grant/research support from: Janssen, Abbvie, Pfizer, UCB, Ursula Fearon Speakers bureau: Abbvie, Grant/research support from: Janssen, Abbvie, Pfizer, UCB

Abstract The responsiveness and diversity of peripheral B-cell repertoire decreases with age, possibly because of B-cell clonal expansions, as suggested by the incidence of serum monoclonal immunoglobulins and of monoclonal chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)–like B lymphocytes in clinically silent adults. We phenotyped peripheral blood cells from 500 healthy subjects older than 65 years with no history or suspicion of malignancies and no evidence of lymphocytosis. In 19 cases (3.8%) a κ/λ ratio of more than 3:1 or less than 1:3 was found: 9 were CD5+, CD19+, CD23+, CD20low, CD79blow, sIglow (classic CLL-like phenotype); 3 were CD5+, CD19+, CD23+, CD20high, CD79blow, sIglow (atypical CLL-like), and 7 were CD5-, CD19+, CD20high, CD23-, CD79bbright, FMC7+, sIgbright (non–CLL-like). In 2 subjects, 2 phenotypically distinct unrelated clones were concomitantly evident. No cases were CD10+. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis demonstrated a monoclonal rearrangement of IgH genes in 15 of 19 cases. No bcl-1 or bcl-2 rearrangements were detected. Using a gating strategy based on CD20/CD5/CD79 expression, 13 additional CLL-like B-cell clones were identified (cumulative frequency of classic CLL-like: 5.5%). Thus, phenotypically heterogeneous monoclonal B-lymphocyte expansions are common among healthy elderly individuals and are not limited to classic CLL-like clones but may have the phenotypic features of different chronic lymphoproliferative disorders, involving also CD5- B cells.
