Biomarkers of favorable immune capacity in growth hormone receptor knockout pig model
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Laron Syndrome (LS) is a rare hereditary disease in humans caused by a mutation in the growth hormone receptor gene which leads to high levels of circulating GH [1]. The disease is characterized by short statue, obesity, transient hypoglycemia during youth and low incidences of cancer and diabetes [2]. Thus making it interesting to study the underlying mechanisms. Recently a porcine model to mimic human LS was developed [3]. Growth hormone receptors are expressed on various cells of the immune system yet the extent to which dysregulation of GH might affect immune function in LS is poorly understood [4]. Therefore we decided to characterize the influence of growth hormone receptor knockout on the immune function of these animals by analyzing the proteome of their CD4+ and CD4- peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). 1.
