| Abstract | T-plastin (PLS3) is an actin-bundling protein normally expressed in epithelial cells but absent in cells of hematopoietic origin. Aberrant PLS3 expression has been demonstrated in lymphocytes from Sézary syndrome (SS) patients and has been proposed as a biomarker for SS; however, the mechanism underlying dysregulation of PLS3 has not been determined. In this study, PLS3 mRNA expression was demonstrated in 21/35 (60%) SS patients and in 3/8 (38%) mycosis fungoides patients, all of whom had clonal blood involvement. No evidence for PLS3 mutations within coding or promoter regions was found, but significant hypomethylation of CpG dinucleotides 95-99 within the PLS3 CpG island was observed and this was restricted to the PLS3+ population. A polyclonal antibody specific to PLS3 was raised to examine coexpression of PLS3 with a panel of T-cell differentiation markers. All PLS3+ cells were CD3+CD4+ and CD26-, suggesting that loss of CD26 is consistently associated with gain of PLS3, whereas all other markers were distributed heterogeneously. However, a patient-specific TCR copy number assay also demonstrated heterogeneity in PLS3 expression in tumor cell populations. Importantly, our findings demonstrate PLS3 expression in the majority of SS patients and provide insight into the molecular regulation of PLS3 expression in CTCL. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
