Tenascin C Promiscuously Binds Growth Factors via Its Fifth Fibronectin Type III-Like Domain

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Federico Tortelli, Jeffrey James Rice

Tenascin C (TNC) is an extracellular matrix protein that is upregulated during development as well as tissue remodeling. TNC is comprised of multiple independent folding domains, including 15 fibronectin type III-like (TNCIII) domains. The fifth TNCIII dom ...

Increased invasiveness of MMP-9-deficient tumors in two mouse models of neuroendocrine tumorigenesis

Douglas Hanahan, Ksenya Shchors

Despite their apparent success in pre-clinical trials, metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors proved to be inefficacious in clinical settings. In an effort to understand the underlying causes of this unanticipated outcome, we modeled the consequences of long-t ...

Bigh3 Is Upregulated in Regenerating Zebrafish Fin

Zebrafish is a good model for studying regeneration because of the rapidity with which it occurs. Better understanding of this process may lead in the future to improvement of the regenerating capacity of humans. Signaling factors are the second largest ca ...

Specific Notch receptor-ligand interactions control human TCR-alpha beta/gamma delta development by inducing differential Notch signal strength

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch, Tao Wang

In humans, high Notch activation promotes gamma delta T cell development, whereas lower levels promote alpha beta-lineage differentiation. How these different Notch signals are generated has remained unclear. We show that differential Notch receptor-ligand ...

IL-1β Suppresses Innate IL-25 and IL-33 Production and Maintains Helminth Chronicity

Nicola Harris, Benjamin John Marsland, Mario Michael Zaiss, Ilaria Mosconi, Nadine Guenat

Approximately 2 billion people currently suffer from intestinal helminth infections, which are typically chronic in nature and result in growth retardation, vitamin A deficiency, anemia and poor cognitive function. Such chronicity results from co-evolution ...

Hijacking Multivesicular Bodies Enables Long-Term and Exosome-Mediated Long-Distance Action of Anthrax Toxin

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Lucia Brandi

Anthrax lethal toxin is a classical AB toxin comprised of two components: protective antigen (PA) and lethal factor (LF). Here, we show that following assembly and endocytosis, PA forms a channel that translocates LF, not only into the cytosol, but also in ...

The C-type Lectin Receptors Dectin-1, MR, and SIGNR3 Contribute Both Positively and Negatively to the Macrophage Response to Leishmania infantum

Johan Auwerx

Macrophages act as the primary effector cells during Leishmania infection through production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta). However, how macrophage-killing mechanisms are activated during Leishmania-macrophage interact ...

Sustained Delivery Of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1/Hepatocyte Growth Factor Promotes Endogenous Cardiac Repair And Regeneration In The Chronic Ischemic Heart

Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings

The aim of this study was to test the sustained release of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) using an injectable supramolecular hydrogel based on ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) moieties in order to recruit and activate endo ...

Notch Receptors and Smad3 Signaling Cooperate in the Induction of Interleukin-9-Producing T Cells

Freddy Radtke, Bing Zhu

Interleukin 9 (IL-9) is a pleiotropic cytokine that can regulate autoimmune responses by enhancing regulatory CD4(+)FoxP3(+) T regulatory (Treg) cell survival and T helper 17 (Th17) cell proliferation. Here, we analyzed the costimulatory requirements for t ...

Differential peptide binding to CD40 evokes counteractive responses

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, Charles Roduit, Livan Bladimir Alonso Sarduy, Bhaskar Saha

The antigen-presenting cell-expressed CD40 is implied in the regulation of counteractive immune responses such as induction of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-10, respectively. The mechanism of this duality in CD ...
