Microfluidics for in vitro biomimetic shear stress-dependent leukocyte adhesion assays

Recruitment of leukocytes from blood to tissues is a multi-step process playing a major role in the activation of inflammatory responses. Tethering and rolling of leukocytes along the vessel wall, followed by arrest and transmigration through the endotheli ...

Photodynamic drug delivery enhancement in tumours does not depend on leukocyte-endothelial interaction in a human mesothelioma xenograft model

Hubert van den Bergh, Elodie Debefve, Hans-Anton Lehr

OBJECTIVES: The pre-treatment of tumour neovessels by low-level photodynamic therapy (PDT) improves the distribution of concomitantly administered systemic chemotherapy. The mechanism by which PDT permeabilizes the tumour vessel wall is only partially know ...

Role of macrophage scavenger receptors in atherosclerosis

Accumulating evidence indicates that atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. The key innate immune cells that are involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis are circulating monocytes and plaque macrophages. Complex interplay between immune ...

Identification of a Novel Wnt Inhibitor

Cancer cells are embedded in a microenvironment composed of stromal cells, such as fibroblasts, endothelial cells, infiltrating immune cells, as well as non-cellular compartments such as the extracellular matrix and secreted soluble factors. For successful ...

Leukocyte-endothelial cell interaction is necessary for photodynamic therapy induced vascular permeabilization

Hubert van den Bergh, Elodie Debefve, Hans-Anton Lehr

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) affects vascular barrier function and thus increases vessel permeability. This phenomenon may be exploited to facilitate targeted drug delivery and may lead to a new clinical application of photodynamic therapy. Here, we investig ...

Mutation of the BAFF furin cleavage site impairs B-cell homeostasis and antibody responses

Friedrich Beermann

B-cell-activating factor of the TNF family (BAFF)/BLyS contributes to B-cell homeostasis and function in the periphery. BAFF is expressed as a membrane-bound protein or released by proteolytic cleavage, but the functional importance of this processing even ...

Proangiogenic Factor PlGF Programs CD11b(+) Myelomonocytes in Breast Cancer during Differentiation of Their Hematopoietic Progenitors

Natsuko Imaizumi, Laura Ciarloni

Tumor-mobilized bone marrow-derived CD11b(+) myeloid cells promote tumor angiogenesis, but how and when these cells acquire proangiogenic properties is not fully elucidated. Here, we show that CD11b(+) myelomonocytic cells develop proangiogenic properties ...

Transmural flow modulates cell and fluid transport functions of lymphatic endothelium

Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Joseph Rutkowski, James Brandon Dixon, Dimana Miteva

RATIONALE: Lymphatic transport of peripheral interstitial fluid and dendritic cells (DCs) is important for both adaptive immunity and maintenance of tolerance to self-antigens. Lymphatic drainage can change rapidly and dramatically on tissue injury or infl ...

Delta-like 4 is the essential, nonredundant ligand for Notch1 during thymic T cell lineage commitment

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch, Alexandre José Pessanha De Oliveira Caimoto Duarte

Thymic T cell lineage commitment is dependent on Notch1 (N1) receptor-mediated signaling. Although the physiological ligands that interact with N1 expressed on thymic precursors are currently unknown, in vitro culture systems point to Delta-like 1 (DL1) an ...

Novel lentiviral vectors displaying "early acting cytokines" selectively promote survival and transduction of NOD/SCID repopulating human hematopoietic stem cells

Didier Trono

A major limitation of current lentiviral vectors (LVs) is their inability to govern efficient gene transfer into quiescent cells, such as human CD34+ cells that reside into G0 phase of the cell cycle and that are highly enriched in hematopoietic stem cells ...
