Mechanisms by which blood cells sense shear stress are poorly characterized. In platelets, glycoprotein (GP)Ib-IX receptor complex has been long suggested to be a sensor and receptor. Recently, relatively unstable mechanosensitive domain in the GPIbα subunit of GPIb-IX was identified. Here we show that binding its ligand, von Willebrand factor, under physiological induces unfolding this mechanosensory (MSD) on platelet surface. The unfolded MSD, particularly juxtamembrane 'Trigger' sequence...

The endothelial surface glycocalyx (ESG) is a carbohydrate-rich layer found on the vascular endothelium, serving critical functions in mechanotransduction of blood flow-induced forces. One most important protective ESG to mediate production nitric oxide (NO) response flow. However, detailed mechanism underlying ESG's NO has not been completely identified. Herein, using cultured rat brain microvascular cells (bEnd.3) as model system, we have implemented combined atomic force and fluorescence...

Abstract Background PD-1 is an immune checkpoint on T cells, and interventions to block this receptor result in cell activation enhanced response tumors pathogens. Reciprocally, despite a decade of research, approaches treat autoimmunity with agonists have only had limited successful. To resolve this, new methods must be developed augment function beyond engaging the receptor. Methods We conducted flow cytometry analysis cells isolated from peripheral blood synovial fluid patients rheumatoid...

Abstract Since the most recent outbreak, Ebola virus (EBOV) epidemic remains one of world’s public health and safety concerns. EBOV is a negative-sense RNA that can infect humans non-human primates, causes hemorrhagic fever. It has been proposed T-cell immunoglobulin mucin domain (TIM) family proteins act as cell surface receptors for EBOV, interaction between TIM phosphatidylserine (PS) on mediates EBOV–host attachment. Despite these initial findings, biophysical properties TIM-EBOV...

The signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM) family is comprised of nine distinct receptors that are expressed exclusively on hematopoietic cells. Most these transmembrane homotypic by nature and downstream occurs when cells express the same SLAM receptor interact. Previous studies have determined anti-SLAMF6 antibodies can a therapeutic effect in autoimmunity cancer. However, little known about role SLAMF6 adaptive immune responses order to utilize interventional approaches, better...

Signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family member 6 (SLAMF6) is a T cell co-receptor. Previously, we showed that SLAMF6 clustering was required for activation. To better understand the relationship between location and function to evaluate role of as therapeutic target, investigated how its compartmentalization on surface affects functions. We used biochemical co-culture assays show activity enhanced when colocalizes with CD3 complex. Mechanistically, co-immunoprecipitation analysis...

Abstract PD-1 drives its fame for serving as a pivotal immune checkpoint receptor on T cells. Within the realm of cancer immunotherapy, blocking this triggers cell activation, leading to response against tumors. Conversely, in autoimmunity, agonist is prime candidate effectively suppressing T-cell-driven auto-reactivity and self-tissue damage. Despite decade exploration unlike efficacy agonists treating autoimmunity remains challenge. To overcome hurdle, innovative methods must be devised...
