Disease relevance of CD3E

  • SUMMARY: Two new severe combined immunodeficiency conditions have been reported as a consequence of either CD3D or CD3E deficiency [1].
  • We estimated the possibility of T3E as a new anticancer agent against lung adenocarcinoma showing poor prognosis based on the mutation of ras gene [2].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Resection of a submucous adenoma increases the risk of fluid absorption during TCRE [3].
  • Dysmenorrhea disappeared in half the patients, while 17% of those who were pain-free before the TCRE had developed cyclic pelvic pain at 1 year, an outcome also associated with a larger fluid absorption (p<0.02) [3].
  • RESULTS: Fluid absorption was increased in patients treated with a GnRH analogue (leuprolide acetate) prior to the TCRE (p<0.007) and also when a submucous myoma was removed during the operation (p<0.0001) [3].
 

High impact information on CD3E

  • Patients and affected fetuses from 2 families were homozygous for a mutation in the CD3D gene, and patients from the third family were homozygous for a mutation in the CD3E gene [4].
  • A block in both early T lymphocyte and natural killer cell development in transgenic mice with high-copy numbers of the human CD3E gene [5].
  • T3E showed cytotoxicity against A549 cells, a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line with a ras gene mutation, in a dose-dependent manner (0-40 microM), whereas T3 and a redox-silent analogue of alpha-tocopherol (T), 6-O-carboxypropyl-alpha-tocopherol (TE), showed much less cytotoxicity in cells within 40 microM [2].
  • Our results suggest that T3E suppresses Ras and RhoA prenylation, leading to negative growth control against A549 cells [2].
  • Moreover, the T3E-dependent inhibition of RhoA geranyl-geranylation is an inducing factor for the occurrence of apoptosis in A549 cells [2].
 

Biological context of CD3E

 

Anatomical context of CD3E

 

Associations of CD3E with chemical compounds

  • To overcome the disadvantage and reinforce the anticancer activity in tocotrienols, we synthesized a redox-silent analogue of alpha-tocotrienol (T3), 6-O-carboxypropyl-alpha-tocotrienol (T3E) [2].
  • METHOD: Two hunded and sixty-five women underwent TCRE in which the absorption of irrigating fluid (glycine 1.5%) was measured volumetrically [3].
 

Other interactions of CD3E

  • Putative candidate genes mapping close to the 19 novel markers include the IL10RA and CD3E genes on 11q23 (which both lie close to the marker D11S1998) [7].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CD3E

  • The odds of fluid overload and equipment failure were higher ((OR=5.2, 95% CI 1.5, 18.4) and (OR=6.0, 95% CI 1.7, 20.9) respectively) for those women having laser as compared to TCRE (transcervical resection of the endometriuim) [8].
