Lymphocyte zinc metabolism in disease : Paroxysmal noctural hemoglobinuria.
Biological Trace Element Research 1983 Februrary
Lymphocytes were obtained from two patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria as well as from apparently healthy controls and from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Subsequently, several aspects of zinc metabolism were studied in vitro in short-term cultures of these lymphocytes in order to assess lymphocyte functional capacity. The results of mitogen stimulation and zinc uptake studies for lymphocytes from donors with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria were similar to those obtained for leukemic lymphocytes. The results of studies to determine the inducibility of the low molecular weight zinc-binding protein, metallothionein, by zinc were complicated by the decrease in overall protein synthesis in lymphocytes from donors in the paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. It is proposed that paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is indeed a clonal disorder and the relationship between lymphocytes in this disorder and leukemic lymphocytes is discussed.
