Myeloid apolipoprotein E controls dendritic cell antigen presentation and T cell activation.
(2018-08-06)
Cholesterol homeostasis has a pivotal function in regulating immune cells. Here we show that apolipoprotein E (apoE) deficiency leads to the accumulation of cholesterol in the cell membrane of dendritic cells (DC), resulting ...
Cardioprotective effects of Cu(II)ATSM in human vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiomyocytes mediated by Nrf2 and DJ-1.
(2016-12-21)
Cu(II)ATSM was developed as a hypoxia sensitive positron emission tomography agent. Recent reports have highlighted the neuroprotective properties of Cu(II)ATSM, yet there are no reports that it confers cardioprotection. ...
Exosomal cargo including microRNA regulates sensory neuron to macrophage communication after nerve trauma.
(2017-11-24)
Following peripheral axon injury, dysregulation of non-coding microRNAs (miRs) occurs in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) sensory neurons. Here we show that DRG neuron cell bodies release extracellular vesicles, including exosomes ...
Phagocytosis is the main CR3-mediated function affected by the lupus-associated variant of CD11b in human myeloid cells.
(2013)
The CD11b/CD18 integrin (complement receptor 3, CR3) is a surface receptor on monocytes, neutrophils, macrophages and dendritic cells that plays a crucial role in several immunological processes including leukocyte ...
A genome-wide screen identifies YAP/WBP2 interplay conferring growth advantage on human epidermal stem cells.
(2017-03-23)
Individual human epidermal cells differ in their self-renewal ability. To uncover the molecular basis for this heterogeneity, we performed genome-wide pooled RNA interference screens and identified genes conferring a clonal ...
An AXL/LRP-1/RANBP9 complex mediates DC efferocytosis and antigen cross-presentation in vivo.
(2014-03)
The phagocytosis of apoptotic cells (ACs), or efferocytosis, by DCs is critical for self-tolerance and host defense. Although many efferocytosis-associated receptors have been described in vitro, the functionality of these ...
