Screening for interference in immunoassays.

BACKGROUND: The presence of interfering substances in patient samples submitted for immunoassay cannot be reliably anticipated. We therefore evaluated three interference screening techniques and estimated the prevalence of interfering substances as defined by positive outcomes with these protocols. METHODS: We evaluated 160 samples for the presence of substances that may interfere with four immunoassays (40 samples for each): thyroid-stimulating hormone, prostate-specific antigen, beta-human chorionic gonadotropin, and cortisol. Interference was defined by nonlinear responses with serial dilution, discrepant results after pretreatment with heterophile blocking reagent (HBR), and positive reactions on a mouse-antibody-negative control reaction (Tandem ICON ImmunoConcentration HCG). Criteria for declaring significant discrepant results were based on a Z-score computed using the assay CV. The McNemar test was used to compare the prevalence of discrepancies across the three screening techniques. The association between type of immunoassay and prevalence of discrepant results was determined by a modified Pearson chi(2) statistic. RESULTS: Five of the 160 samples [3.1%; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.0-7.1%] screened positive with the ICON. Seventy-two of the 148 samples with informative serial dilutions (48.6%; 95% CI, 40.4-57.0%) had at least one discrepant result at higher dilutions. After pretreatment with HBR, 53 of the 140 samples (38%; 95% CI, 29.8-46%) were discrepant. Only 48 of the 140 samples with informative measurements for all three screening techniques (34%; 95% CI, 26-43%) were negative by all three. The prevalence of positive screens varied significantly by type of immunoassay (P <0.0001) for both HBR and serial dilution. Only 3% (0.8-7%) of the samples tested with HBR showed a change from normal to abnormal or the reverse after treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Introducing a protocol based on any of these three techniques into the immunochemistry laboratory to prescreen for interfering substances is not warranted. The evaluation of specimens for the presence of interfering anti-animal antibodies should be reserved for cases in which clinical history or suspicious results indicate the need.

alpha-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha production in leukocytes by modulating protein kinase A, p38 kinase, and nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathways.

The neuropeptide alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) inhibits inflammation by down-regulating the expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in leukocytes via stimulation of alpha-MSH cell surface receptors. However, the signaling mechanism of alpha-MSH action has not yet been clearly elucidated. Here, we have investigated signaling pathways by which alpha-MSH inhibits lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TNF-alpha production in leukocytes such as THP-1 cells. We focused on the possible roles of protein kinase A (PKA), p38 kinase, and nuclear factor kappa B (NF kappa B) signaling. In THP-1 cells, LPS is known to activate p38 kinase, which in turn activates NF kappa B to induce TNF-alpha production. We found that pretreatment of cells with alpha-MSH blocked LPS-induced p38 kinase and NF kappa B activation as well as TNF-alpha production. This response was proportional to alpha-MSH receptor expression levels, and addition of an alpha-MSH receptor antagonist abolished the inhibitory effects. In addition, alpha-MSH treatment activated PKA, and PKA inhibition abrogated the inhibitory effects of alpha-MSH on p38 kinase activation, NF kappa B activation, and TNF-alpha production. Taken together, our results indicate that stimulation of PKA by alpha-MSH causes inhibition of LPS-induced activation of p38 kinase and NF kappa B to block TNF-alpha production.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha negatively regulates T-bet transcription through suppression of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activation.

Expression of the nuclear hormone receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) in resting lymphocytes was recently established, although the physiologic role(s) played by this nuclear hormone receptor in these cell types remains unresolved. In this study, we used CD4(+) T cells isolated from PPARalpha(-/-) and wild-type mice, as well as cell lines that constitutively express PPARalpha, in experiments designed to evaluate the role of this hormone receptor in the regulation of T cell function. We report that activated CD4(+) T cells lacking PPARalpha produce increased levels of IFN-gamma, but significantly lower levels of IL-2 when compared with activated wild-type CD4(+) T cells. Furthermore, we demonstrate that PPARalpha regulates the expression of these cytokines by CD4(+) T cells in part, through its ability to negatively regulate the transcription of T-bet. The induction of T-bet expression in CD4(+) T cells was determined to be positively influenced by p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation, and the presence of unliganded PPARalpha effectively suppressed the phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase. The activation of PPARalpha with highly specific ligands relaxed its capacity to suppress p38 MAP kinase phosphorylation and promoted T-bet expression. These results demonstrate a novel DNA-binding independent and agonist-controlled regulatory influence by the nuclear hormone receptor PPARalpha.

alpha-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone inhibits allergic airway inflammation.

alpha-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) is a neuropeptide controlling melanogenesis in pigmentary cells. In addition, its potent immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive activity has been recently described in cutaneous inflammatory disorders. Whether alpha-MSH is also produced in the lung and might play a role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory lung conditions, including allergic bronchial asthma, is unknown. Production and functional role of alpha-MSH were investigated in a murine model of allergic airway inflammation. alpha-MSH production was detected in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids. Although aerosol challenges stimulate alpha-MSH production in nonsensitized mice, this rapid and marked stimulation was absent in allergic animals. Treatment of allergic mice with alpha-MSH resulted in suppression of airway inflammation. These effects were mediated via IL-10 production, because IL-10 knockout mice were resistant to alpha-MSH treatment. This study provides evidence for a novel function of alpha-MSH linking neuroimmune functions in allergic airway inflammation.

Prevention and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism: still a challenge for the nephrologist?

Pavlovic D, Brzac HT.

'Sveti Duh' General Hospital, Zagreb, Croatia. drasko.povloviol-svduh.hinet.hr

Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a well known complication of chronic renal insufficency. It is not only a state of increased parathyroid hormone secre-tion but also a state of parathyroid gland hyperplasia. Prevention and treatment of secondary hyperpara-thyroidism is a huge challenge for the nephrologist, despite new agents for the treatment of hyperphos-phataemia, new vitamin D analogues and calci-mimetics. The importance of parathyroid gland hyperplasia and the possibility of its reduction frequently are neglected issues. Ultrasonography could be very useful in detection of parathyroid gland size and shape and in the management of secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Like developmental biology of any part of our body, hair growth is a complicated process. Hence the homework for modern science to yet unravel the process and mechanism to a completion. There exist a number of traditional and alternative therapeutic methods that include drugs, surgery, suppelements, and even snake oils that have been developed and used for those who lose hair. No understanding, and there is no solution. Of course, none of these approaches are perfect for all hair loss problems, especially due to the heterogeneity of the causes underlying hair losses. Most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are accompanied by undesirable side effects.

DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands. DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones) or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells. Our bodies produce decreasing amount of DHEA as we get older. various health benefits: To deter aging, improve sexual function/erectile dysfunction, treat cognitive decline, enhance athletic performance, facilitate weight loss, improve strength, prevent osteoporosis, enhance immunomodulation for rheumatic conditions, and treat depression.
