Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

5.4K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

1.3K
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins02:18

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

19.6K
Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility allows them to complement ordered proteins to perform functions that are inaccessible to rigid structures. They are more common in eukaryotes than prokaryotes and may either be exclusively intrinsically disordered or hybrid proteins, consisting of a mix of ordered and disordered regions. The absence of a rigid structure in these proteins can be...

Bone Cells and Tissue01:30

Bone Cells and Tissue

8.4K
Bones contain a relatively small number of cells entrenched in a matrix of organic and inorganic components. Although bone cells compose only a small amount of the bone volume, they are crucial to its function. Four types of cells are found within the bone tissue— osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteogenic cells, and osteoclasts.
Osteoblasts and Osteocytes
The osteoblast is the bone cell responsible for forming new bone tissue. It is found in the growing portions of bone, including the...

Protein Buffers in Blood Plasma and Cells01:20

Protein Buffers in Blood Plasma and Cells

3.9K
The human body utilizes protein buffer systems to maintain a stable pH. These systems capitalize on the dual role of amino acids, which can act as acids or bases by accepting or releasing hydrogen ions in response to pH changes. Protein buffer systems are particularly significant in the extracellular fluid (ECF) and intracellular fluid (ICF) of active cells, where structural and functional proteins provide substantial buffering capacity.
Certain amino acids can exist in a zwitterion state at a...

Disorders of Erythrocytes01:27

Disorders of Erythrocytes

2.3K
Disorders of erythrocytes, or red blood cells (RBCs), include a range of conditions affecting their number, shape, or function.
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
On the other...

Summary

Eosinophils in plasma cell disorders (PCDs) show increased homing capacity and activation, particularly in advanced stages. Corticosteroid treatment impacts circulating eosinophil levels but not bone marrow levels.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Eosinophils experimentally promote plasma cell survival in bone marrow.
  • Clinical role of eosinophils in human plasma cell disorders (PCDs) is unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate eosinophil frequency and phenotype in bone marrow and peripheral blood of untreated PCD patients versus controls.
  • Determine the clinical significance of eosinophils in PCD.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of eosinophil counts and phenotype (CXCR4, CD80 expression) in bone marrow and peripheral blood.
  • Assessment of eosinophil activation markers in PCD patients and healthy controls.
  • Correlation analysis between eosinophil parameters, plasma cell numbers, and disease stage.

Main Results:

  • Eosinophil numbers did not correlate with plasma cell counts or disease stage.
  • Eosinophils from PCD patients exhibited higher CXCR4 expression, increasing with disease stage.
  • Bone marrow eosinophils in patients, especially with manifest disease, showed greater activation.
  • Eosinophils in both patients and controls expressed CD80 on their surface.
  • Corticosteroid-treated patients had reduced circulating eosinophils but preserved bone marrow levels.

Conclusions:

  • Eosinophils in PCD patients display enhanced homing potential and activation, suggesting a role in disease pathogenesis.
  • Surface CD80 expression on eosinophils may have immunomodulatory effects, especially in T-cell exhausted states like multiple myeloma.
  • Corticosteroids differentially affect circulating versus bone marrow eosinophils.
