Résumé

The objective of this study was to investigate the ultrastructural changes of vascular pancreatic islets using a transmission electron microscopic technique. The major ultrastructural changes of microvessel in NOD mice are indicated by the swelling and vacuolization of the endothelial cell. Swollen cells are the first noticeable lesion of the cell response in reversible degeneration that is caused by the failure of homeostatic control. Loss in endothelial cell homeostasis is primarily a marker of endothelial dysfunction that plays a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic vascular disease by losing the control of vascular tone. Diabetes also associates with an increased generation of oxygen-derived free radicals that may impair vasodilatation through the inactivation of vasodilators. In conclusion, consistent with a hypothesis that loss of the modulatory role of the endothelium may be a critical and initiating factor in the development of diabetic vascular disease, the ultrastructural changes in this study may indicate the first sign of endothelial dysfunction. This dysfunction correlates to the relationship between diabetes and reversible lesions of vessels in NOD mice, making for a better understanding of the pathophysiology of diabetic vascular disease to set the stage for further investigation to restore endothelial dysfunction in diabetes.

Résumé

Recombinant BCGs (rBCGs) containing extrachromosomal plasmids with different HIV-1 insert sequences: nef, env (V3J1 and E9Q), gag p17 or whole gag p55 were evaluated for their immunogenicity, safety and persistent infection in BALB/c mice. Animal injected with, rBCG-plJKV3J1, rBCG-pSO gag p17 or rBCG-pSO gag p55 could elicit lymphocyte proliferation as tested by specific HIV-1 peptides or protein antigen. Inoculation with various concentration of rBCG-pSO gag p55 generated satisfactory specific lymphocyte proliferation in dose escalation trials. The rBCG-pSO gag p55 recovered from spleen tissues at different time interval post-inoculation could express the HIV protein as determined by ELISA p24 antigen detection kit. This result indicated that the extrachromosomal plasmid was stable and capable to express Gag protein. It was also demonstrated that rBCGs did not cause serious pathological change in the inoculated animals. The present study suggested the role of BCG as a potential vehicle for using in HIV vaccine development.
