متن کاملVery Late Antigen-4 (α4β1 Integrin) Targeted PET Imaging of Multiple Myeloma
Biomedical imaging techniques such as skeletal survey and (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)/Positron Emission Tomography (PET) are frequently used to diagnose and stage multiple myeloma (MM) patients. However, skeletal survey has limited sensitivity as it can detect osteolytic lesions only after 30-50% cortical bone destruction, and FDG is a marker of cell metabolism that has limited sensitivity f...
متن کاملDiscovery of potential integrin VLA-4 antagonists using pharmacophore modeling, virtual screening and molecular docking studies.
Very late antigen-4 (VLA-4) is an integrin protein, and its antagonists are useful as anti-inflammatory drugs. The aim of this study is to discover novel virtual lead compounds to use them in designing potent VLA-4 antagonists. A best pharmacophore model was generated with correlation coefficient of 0.935, large cost difference of 114.078, comprising two hydrogen bond acceptors and three hydrop...
متن کاملCytokines increase human hemopoietic cell adhesiveness by activation of very late antigen (VLA)-4 and VLA-5 integrins
Cytokines are known to be important regulators of normal hemopoiesis, acting in concert with components of the bone marrow microenvironment. Interactions with this microenvironment are known to regulate the proliferation, differentiation, and homing of hemopoietic progenitor (CD34+) cells. Adhesive interactions with the extracellular matrix retain CD34+ cells in close proximity to cytokines, bu...
متن کاملAltered tyrosine phosphorylation via the very late antigen (VLA)/beta1 integrin stimulation is associated with impaired T-cell signaling through VLA-4 after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
Our previous study showed that the cross-linking of very late antigen (VLA)/beta1 with anti-CD29 monoclonal antibody (MoAb), or interactions with extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins through VLA/beta1, failed to induce T-cell costimulation via the CD3/T cell receptor (TCR) pathway for over 1 year after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT), although normal CD29 and CD3 expression was...
