Disease relevance of Blood Cells

 

Psychiatry related information on Blood Cells

 

High impact information on Blood Cells

  • Thus, Slug functions downstream of p53 in developing blood cells as a critical switch that prevents their apoptosis by antagonizing the trans-activation of puma by p53 [11].
  • In mice, injection of M protein or subcutaneous infection with S. pyogenes causes severe pulmonary damage characterized by leakage of plasma and blood cells [12].
  • Their work suggests that an ancestral function of VEGF was to guide blood cell migration and highlights the conservation of at least one aspect of VEGF signaling during evolution [13].
  • The hematopoietic growth factors are potent regulators of blood-cell proliferation and development [14].
  • We suggest that the observed skewing in composition among the various mature blood cell types in C57BL/6 in equilibrium DBA/2 allophenic mice is caused by allelic variants of the Stk gene [15].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Blood Cells

 

Biological context of Blood Cells

  • To evaluate the clonality pattern of the different types of blood cells as a function of time we have validated the applicability, sensitivity, and reproducibility of a thermostable ligase reaction to detect transcripts of the G6PD allele on the active X-chromosome in normal heterozygous females [21].
  • Our findings demonstrate that murine ES cells with a nonfunctional pig-a gene are competent for hematopoiesis, and give rise to blood cells with the PNH phenotype. pig-a inactivation on its own, however, does not confer a proliferative advantage to the hematopoietic stem cell [22].
  • On days 0, 7, 14, and 21 after cyclophosphamide administration, complete blood cell counts, white blood cell differential counts, platelet counts, and SMA-17 were determined [23].
  • No marked differences were observed in the sizes of the telomeric repeats in the various populations of normal blood cells obtained from donors in their twenties to sixties, and the telomere length ranged between 8.5 and 9.0 kb [24].
  • Serum levels of IFN-alpha are elevated in SLE patients, and gene expression profiling of peripheral blood cells shows that most lupus cases demonstrate an upregulation of IFN-responsive genes [25].
 

Anatomical context of Blood Cells

 

Associations of Blood Cells with chemical compounds

  • We have recently described such a ligand, a glycoprotein of apparent relative molecular mass 42,000 (Mr 42K) that is expressed on all blood cells and some other tissues [31].
  • Nitrogen-13 from both anions was distributed uniformly between plasma and blood cells [32].
  • Profound decreases in serum cholesterol concentrations were observed during GM-CSF therapy that were not dependent on changes in the patients' peripheral blood cell counts [33].
  • Cisplatin-based therapy results in a cumulative anemia that is disproportionate to the effects on other blood cells [34].
  • In patients with Scott syndrome, a congenital bleeding disorder related to defective expression of membrane coagulant activity, circulating blood cells show decreased cell surface exposure of phosphatidylserine at elevated cytosolic [Ca2+], implying an underlying defect or deficiency of PL scramblase [35].
 

Gene context of Blood Cells

  • Finally, mutants in NURF subunits exhibit neoplastic transformation of larval blood cells that causes melanotic tumors to form [36].
  • To follow the effects of SOD2 deficiency in cells over a longer time course, we created hematopoietic chimeras in which all blood cells are derived from fetal liver stem cells of Sod2 knockout, heterozygous, or wild-type littermates [37].
  • METHODS: P-glycoprotein activity was assayed in peripheral blood cells of 42 consecutive B-CLL patients (22 treated and 20 untreated) [38].
  • We showed that blood cells from farmers' children express significantly higher amounts of CD14 (0.96 vs 0.43, p=0.0013), and Toll-like receptor 2 (0.11 vs 0.04, p<0.0001) than those from non-farmers' children [39].
  • Both isoforms individually rescue blood cell formation that is lacking in an srp null mutation [40].
