Abstract:
In contrast to the large number of class I and II cytokine receptors, only four Janus kinase (Jak) proteins are expressed in mammalian cells, implying the shared use of these kinases by many different receptor complexes. Consequently, if receptor numbers exceed the amount of available Jak, cross-interference patterns can be expected. We have engineered two model cellular systems expressing two different exogenous Tyk2-interacting receptors. A receptor chimera was generated wherein the extracellular part of the interferon type 1 receptor (Ifnar1) component of the interferon-α/β receptor is repl

Abstract:
Both angiotensin II (ANG II) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) are thought to be involved in mediating pulmonary fibrosis. Interactions between the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and TGF-β1 have been well documented, with most studies describing the effect of ANG II on TGF-β1 expression. However, recent gene expression profiling experiments demonstrated that the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) gene was a novel TGF-β1 target in human adult lung fibroblasts. In this report, we show that TGF-β1 augments human AT1R (hAT1R) steady-state mRNA and protein levels in a dose- and time-dep

We also showed that breast cancer cells co-cultured with stimulated T lymphocytes overexpress Guanylate-binding protein 1 (GBP1) accompanying increased trespassing ability through an in vitro blood-brain barrier (BBB) model. In addition, we demonstrated a predilection for metastasizing to brain of breast cancer cells that were co-cultured with activated T cells in a mouse model. We now scrutinize

Molecular events mediating the T-lymphocyte response to lectins are still incompletely understood, although much evidence suggests that both the mitogenic and the death-promoting effects of these agents involve the biochemical cascade initiated by the CD3/T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) complex. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and in particular H2O2 have been shown to have a role in cell response to cytokines and growth factors.

Live-attenuated vaccines (LAVs) have achieved remarkable successes in controlling virus spread, as well as for other applications such as cancer immunotherapy. However, with rapid increases in international travel, globalization, geographic spread of viral vectors, and widespread use of vaccines, there is an increasing need to consider how pre-exposure to viruses which share similar antigenic regions can impact vaccine efficacy.

Regulation of integrins is critical for lymphocyte adhesion to endothelium and migration throughout the body. Inside-out signaling to integrins is mediated by the small GTPase Ras-proximate-1 (Rap1). Using an RNA-mediated interference screen, we identified phospholipase Cε 1 (PLCε1) as a crucial regulator of stromal cell-derived factor 1 alpha (SDF-1α)-induced Rap1 activation. We have shown that SDF-1α-induced activation of Rap1 is transient in comparison with the sustained level following cross-linking of the antigen receptor.
