Interleukin-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1R), IL-2 receptor alpha subunit (IL-2R) and IL-6 receptor alpha subunit (IL-6R) mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in 17 patients who underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo BMT) and 2 patients who underwent autologous transplantation were analyzed using a semiquantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). There were several exceptions in some cases and IL-1R expression was found to vary in a rather wide range, however, the expression of IL-2R and IL-6R mRNA tended to increase during the development of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In particular, IL-2R mRNA expression was increased in four patients with GVHD and graft failure. In contrast, IL-2R and IL-6R mRNA expression was not increased in autologous (auto) BMT and auto peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) patients. These findings suggest that IL-2R and maybe IL-6R mRNA expression in PBMC play an important role in the development of an allo response and GVHD. Therefore, the analysis of cytokine receptor mRNA expression in PBMC after allo BMT may provide important information concerning the immune response and the cytokine network system in marrow transplants.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
