However, this view has been challenged with the identification, in the murine lamina propria, of an in situ class switch DNA recombination pathway to IgA. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that in situ class switching occurs in the human lamina propria. Methods: Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze tissue microenvironments and RT-PCR to look for molecular evidence of Ig class switching and to track clonally related cells of B lineage. Results: We found no evidence of proliferation of either lamina propria CD20+or CD19+cells or evidence of activation-induced cytidine deaminase mRNA expression outside the organized gut-associated lymphoid tissue, although Iα-Cαimmunoglobulin germ-line gene transcript expression could be identified in the lamina propria. We identified clonally related cells, including IgA and IgM isotype-switched variants, in multiple samples known to be free of activation-induced cytidine deaminase, organized lymphoid tissue, or cellular proliferation. For 4 groups of cells, the patterns of somatic mutations on the rearranged IgVH5 gene segment were more similar between cells from distant sites than from their immediate neighbors, implying dissemination of cells from a common set of precursors. Conclusions: Our data are inconsistent with a model in which precursors of human IgA-secreting plasma cells are induced or expanded in the lamina propria. The human lamina propria is therefore likely to solely be an effector site of intestinal secretory IgA responses that originate from the organized gut-associated lymphoid tissues.展开更多

Out of eight series of aluminium alloys, 2xxx, 5xxx and 7xxx aluminium alloys are susceptible to SCC. Among them, 7xxx series aluminium alloys have specific application in aerospace, military and structural industries due to superior mechanical properties. In these high strength 7xxx aluminium alloys, SCC plays a vital factor of consideration, as these failures are catastrophic during the service. The understanding of SCC behaviour possesses critical challenge for this alloy. The main aim of this review paper is to understand the effect of constituent alloying elements on the response of microstructural variation in various heat-treated conditions on SCC behavior. Further, review was made for improving the SCC resistance using thermomechanical treatments and by surface modifications of 7xxx alloys. Apart from a brief review on SCC of 7xxx alloys, this paper presents the effect of stress and pre-strain, effect of constituent alloying elements in the alloy, and the effect of environments on SCC behaviour. In addition, the SCC behaviours of weldments, 7xxx metal matrix composites and also laser surface modifications were also reviewed.展开更多

These cells are commonly found at injury sites and in tumors that are known to behave like "wounds that do not heal." In this article, we discuss the mechanisms of MSCs in migrating, homing, and repairing injured tissues. We also review a number of reports showing that tumor microenvironment triggers plasticity mechanisms in MSCs to induce malignant neoplastic tissue formation, maintenance, and chemoresistance, as well as tumor growth. The antitumor properties and therapeutic potential of MSCs are also discussed.展开更多
