Arterial and venous thrombosis are interrelated disorders at the interplay of platelets and fibrin. Arterial thrombi are platelet-rich and occur at sites vulnerable to atherosclerotic plaque rupture where blood shear rates are high; on the contrary, venous thrombi occur in association with slow
OBJECTIVE
To clarify an expansion mechanism of a paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) clone with the Wilms' tumor gene (WT1).
METHODS
In PNH patients with the HLA-A*2402 allele, frequencies of peripheral blood (PB) WT1 peptide-specific and HLA-A*2402-restricted CD8+ cells and WT1
OBJECTIVE
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a clonal disorder due to a PIG-A gene mutation, resulting in deficient expression of GPI-anchored-proteins. Both immune-mediated suppression of hematopoiesis and cytokine alterations have been reported in aplastic anemia, a disease closely
The myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are clonal diseases that confer an increased risk of thrombohemorrhagic complications. Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare clonal disease associated with an increased thrombotic risk. Small PNH clones are prevalent in aplastic
There is a hypothesis that paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) hematopoitic stem cells are resistant to the cytotoxic effect of T cells because they lack glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked proteins. The aim of this study is to investigate proliferation and anti-tumor activity of
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a disease characterized by intravascular hemolysis, thrombosis, and bone marrow failure, is associated with mutations in the PIG-A gene, resulting in a deficiency of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins. Many hypotheses have been posed as to
Monoclonal antibodies have been developed to optimize treatment effects in various malignant and nonmalignant conditions, by selectively targeting key components of the underlying pathophysiologic processes. Rituximab, a chimeric anti-CD20 antibody has revolutionized treatment of malignant
Blood flow rate in a vascular network is proportional to the arteriovenous pressure difference and inversely proportional to the geometric and viscous resistances. We have recently shown that the geometric resistance to blood flow increases with increasing tumor size and/or decreasing arterial
Glucocorticoid and androgen therapy have been used with moderate success in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). However, both are poorly tolerated, especially in women, although the side effects of glucocorticoid can be diminished by alternate day therapy. We have treated two patients with
Bone marrow-derived cells from patients suffering from paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) show a defect in the expression of phosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane proteins, including the CD14 molecule. Blocking experiments with anti-CD14 monoclonal antibodies have shown that
In patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), we measured plasma concentrations of endogenous hematopoiesis-regulatory cytokines to characterize bone marrow (BM) hypoplasia which is a major cause of death. Contrary to 10 healthy individuals, all 14 patients with PNH showed increases of
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare, acquired clonal hematopoietic cell disease characterized by the destruction of hematopoietic cells through activation of the complement system with manifestations that can be life-threatening including hemolysis, thrombosis, and marrow failure.
BACKGROUND
Splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) is a serious complication in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Mutant PNH clones can be associated with an increased risk of SVT even in the absence of overt disease, but their prevalence in non-selected SVT patients remains
