Disease relevance of HLA-DRB3

  • Furthermore, sharing of HLA-DRB3 and histologic evidence of rejection were associated with more rapid progression to bridging fibrosis both by univariate methods (chi2=4.12, P=0.04 and chi2=4.66, P=0.03 respectively), and by multivariate analysis (chi2=13.01, P=0.001) [1].
  • However, HLA-DRB3 * 0202 was seen in all children with multiple sclerosis [2].
  • These results suggest that the HLA-alleles responsible for the susceptibility to sarcoidosis are located at the HLA-DRB1 locus rather than the HLA-DRB3, -DQA1 and -DQB1 loci [3].
  • Eight (35%) of 23 partner pairs in which HIV-1 transmission did not occur were immunologically discordant at HLA-DRB3, compared with 0 of 11 partner pairs in which HIV-1 transmission did occur (P=.027) [4].
  • Rapid and simple subtyping of the HLA-DRB3 gene in Graves' disease by using temperature-gradient gel electrophoresis [5].
 

High impact information on HLA-DRB3

  • The DRw52a specificity was determined directly by hybridising HLA-DRB3 genes, group specifically amplified by the polymerase chain reaction, with an allele specific oligonucleotide probe, whereas in the previously mentioned study DRw52a was assigned by indirect serological criteria, which overestimate the frequency of this allele [6].
  • Here we show that for the human HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DRB3 gene products this ratio is controlled by the valine/glycine dimorphism at position 86 [7].
  • RESULTS: No statistically significant differences were observed in the frequency of the HLA-DR antigen or HLA-DRB3, DRB4, or DRB5 genes between the patients and a healthy control group [8].
  • The Indian and European haplotypes share HLA-B*0801, HLA-DRB1*0301 and HLA-DQB1*02 but differ for subtypes of HLA-Cw*07 and HLA-DRB3 and all central MHC alleles tested [9].
  • These alleles differ from other HLA-DRB3 alleles by previously undescribed single nucleotide polymorphisms [10].
 

Biological context of HLA-DRB3

 

Anatomical context of HLA-DRB3

  • HLA-restriction analysis showed that in addition to HLA-DRB1 products (serologically defined HLA-DR1 to HLA-DR10), the HLA molecules encoded by HLA-DRB3 (HLA-DR52) and HLA-DRB4 (HLA-DR53) are important in presentation of mycobacterial antigens and epitopes to T cells [15].
  • The polymorphic second exon of the HLA-DRB3 gene was amplified from four homozygous typing cell lines, 223 healthy individuals, and 102 patients with Graves' disease by using the PCR [5].
 

Associations of HLA-DRB3 with chemical compounds

  • This allele is of particular interest because it is very similar to HLA-DRB1*08 alleles (YSTGECY and lack of an associated HLA-DRB3 gene), but it lacks leucine at position 74, which is characteristic of all previously reported DRB1*08 alleles [16].
  • The relationship between HLA-DRB3 antigens and specific IgE responsiveness to highly purified major allergen from white birch (Betula verrucosa), Bet v I, was studied in 43 patients, who were skin-prick test positive to birch pollen extract [12].
 

Regulatory relationships of HLA-DRB3

  • The highly polymorphic HLA-DRB1 locus is always expressed at a higher level than the HLA-DRB3 locus, and functional assays indicate that the proximal promoter of DRB1 is indeed more active than that of DRB3 [17].
 

Other interactions of HLA-DRB3

  • Equivalents of the HLA-DRB1*02, -DRB1*03, -DRB1*07 allelic lineages and the HLA-DRB3, -DRB4, -DRB5, -DRB6, and -DRB7 loci were all found in the chimpanzee [18].
  • In DRB1-matched pairs the proliferation induced by HLA-DRB3, -DQ and -DP mismatches may be unmasked [19].
  • Korean BAC library construction and characterization of HLA-DRA, HLA-DRB3 [13].
  • This highly significant negative association with the HLA DRB3 allele DRw52a in whites persisted even when DR4- or DRw11(5)-positive individuals were excluded from the patient and control groups [20].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of HLA-DRB3

  • Our data, based on DNA typing methods of HLA-D genes, provide evidence that the susceptibility is strongly associated with HLA-DRB3 genes [21].
