BTNL2, a butyrophilin/B7-like molecule, is a negative costimulatory molecule modulated in intestinal inflammation.
Butyrophilin-like 2 (BTNL2) is a butyrophilin family member with homology to the B7 costimulatory molecules, polymorphisms of which have been recently associated through genetic analyses to sporadic inclusion body myositis and sarcoidosis. We have characterized the full structure, expression, and function of BTNL2. Structural analysis of BTNL2 shows a molecule with an extracellular region conta...
متن کاملRetinoic Acid Determines the Fate of Spermatogonia
In this review, we aim to examine the effect of extrinsic and intrinsic factors on spermatogenesis process taking into account a complex signaling pathway. Primarily, it is suggested that retinoic acid (RA) has a vital function in spermatogenesis process and it is considered to be essential for completion of spermatogonia into mature spermatozoa. In the present review, the key effects of retino...
متن کاملT cell costimulatory molecule function determines susceptibility to infection with Pneumocystis carinii in mice.
Loss of T cell number and function during HIV infection or secondary to pharmacologic immunosuppression renders individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections, including Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. Because costimulatory receptors are critical for optimal T cell function, we hypothesized that these proteins would regulate susceptibility to opportunistic infections. We found that despite...
متن کاملSecondary Malignant Transformation of Giant Cell Tumor of Bone: Is It a Fate?
The malignant transformation of conventional giant cell tumor of bone (GCTOB) is rare and usually occurs with irradiation. Here we report two neglected cases of conventional GCTOB with spontaneous malignant transformation at 11 and 16 years after initial diagnosis. In the former case, the patient refused to receive any treatment following the incisional biopsy, and in the latter, the firs...
متن کاملADAM-15: a metalloprotease that mediates inflammation.
Cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions are of utmost importance in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. For example, cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions are crucial for leukocyte homing and recruitment to inflammatory sites. The discovery of the disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) proteins, which have both adhesive and proteolytic activities, raised the question of their involvement...
