Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(01):-
The activities of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors in 15 organs and tissues from 5 human fetuses of the ages of 22 to 34 weeks were determined using a membrane filter assay of the specific binding of ~(125)I-LDL to tissue homogenates. The results showed that the adrenal cortex (465 ng/mg protein) had the highest activity of ~(125)I LDL specific binding seven times than that of the medulla. Adipose tissue (214 ng/mg protein) and liver (102 ng/mg protein) ranked second. Relatively high bindings were also observed in the skeletal muscle (89 ng/mg protein), brain (65 ng/mg protein), kidney (60 ng/mg protein) and spinal cord (56ng/mg protein). It was found that the activity of LDL receptors in the central nervous system of human fetus was higher than that of cows, of human adultsand of humam fetuses of 16 to 20 weeks as reported by other investigators. Relatively high level of LDL receptor mRNA in human fetal brain was also found by ~(32)P-cDNA probe hybridization analysis. It is suggested that the growing and developing central nervous system of human fetus reqiresmore cholesterol. In addition, We also observed preliminarily that the tendency of LDL receptors activities in liver and adrenal gland cortex were gradually inereased with fetal age.

Objective To investigate the expression of human leukocyte antigen-G5 (HLA-G5) in healthy Chinese people and the recipients of renal and liver transplantation. The regulating mechanism of the expression of HLA-G5 was discussed by comparing the expression of HLA-G5 in the healthy people with that in renal and liver transplantation recipients. Furthermore, the changing regularity with time was studied by kinesis supervising the expression of HLA-G5 in renal and liver transplantation recipients. Methods The peripheral blood samples (3ml) from 30 health people, 50 recipients of liver transplantation (liver function was stable 3 months after liver transplantation) and 50 recipients of renal transplantation (renal function was stable 3 months after renal transplantation) were collected. Peripheral blood samples were also collected in same amount from 33 recipients of renal and liver transplantation before operation and 1, 4 and 12 weeks and 1 year after operation. The HLA-G5 of all serum samples was analyzed by ELISA. Results For 30 healthy people, the OD value of HLA-G5 in 28 people was below 0.5, for which the contents were defined as 0.0ng/ml according to standard and the contents for the other 2 people were 8ng/ml and 9ng/ml, respectively. 16 of 50 recipients undergone liver transplantation were positive for the expression of HLA-G5, the positive ratio was 32%. The contents in 4 recipients were higher than 30ng/ml. 10 of 50 recipients of renal transplantation were positive in the expression of HLA-G5, the positive ratio was 20%. The contents in one recipient were higher than 25ng/ml. The average contents in sera of healthy people, recipients of liver or renal transplantation were 0.56?0.20ng/ml, 8.34?1.50ng/ml and 3.26?0.25ng/ml, respectively. For 33 recipients of liver or renal transplantation, the expression of HLA-G5 was detected by ELISA, and it was found that one recipient the expression of HLA-G5 was positive before operation and within 1 week after operation; expression of HLA-G5 was positive in 4 recipients within 4 weeks after operation; expression of HLA-G5 was positive within 12 weeks after operation in 12 recipients; and the expression of HLA-G5 was positive within 1 year after operation in 11 recipients. Conclusion The expression of HLA-G5 in healthy people is low. There are correlation between the expression of HLA-G5 and immunotolerance to transplants. In minor rejection condition after transplantation, there are different expression levels of HLA-G5, and it is higher after liver transplantation than!renal transplantation. The time for expression of HLA-G5 corresponds with the time for mRNA of HLA-G5 transcription into protein, and it is about 15-60 days, with 60 days as the peak time.

Objective Based on the detection of soluble leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like recepter-1 (sLAIR-1) in the serum of the recipient after transplantation, the role of sLAIR-1 in graft rejection was analyzed. Methods Serum sLAIR-1 level was determined by double mAb sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 20 healthy volunteers and 162 patients of liver or kidney transplantation, and the results were analyzed and compared. Results In the healthy volunteers and 98 recipients with normal graft function, the sLAIR-1 were detected at the low levels of 4.3?2.3?g/L and 6.3?3.7?g/L, which showed no significant difference (P=0.054). In the 6 cases of acute rejection of liver transplantation, 20 cases of acute rejection of renal transplantation, and 5 cases of graft loss, serum sLAIR-1 was found to be increased remarkably to high levels of 47.2?35.9, 36.3?14.7 and 28.8?19.4?g/L, and they had significant differences compared with that of the healthy volunteers and with the recipients with normal graft function (P

To study the interrelationship between serum sPTA1 level and actue allograft rejection in renal transplantation, solid-phase lig-and ELISA method was used to analyze serum sPTAl level in renal transplantation. Five out of 19 patients after renal transplantation were confirmed haying actue allograft rejection by pathologic examination. The level of serum sPTA1 increased remarkably and the change in serum sP-TA1 level occurred earlier than appearance of clinical symptoms and in histopathologic manifestation. It decreased rapidly after enhancement of immune therapy. The allografts did not show any signs of acute rejection by clinic symptom and/or histopathology until the activation reached to a certain level. Therefore, the level of serum sPFA1 is a credibable guideline to recognize and monitor allograft renal transplantation. Its result is consistent with that of histopathological examination.
