A serotonin-induced N-glycan switch regulates platelet aggregation
Serotonin (5-HT) is a multifunctional signaling molecule that plays different roles in a concentration-dependent manner. We demonstrated that elevated levels of plasma 5-HT accelerate platelet aggregation resulting in a hypercoagulable state in which the platelet surface becomes occupied by several glycoproteins. Here we study the novel hypothesis that an elevated level of plasma 5-HT results i...
متن کاملThe keratinocyte growth-differentiation switch.
Growth/differentiation control of normal epithelial cells has been relatively understudied, because of the complexities involved in their cultivation and characterization. The present review is focused on progress in this area using the mouse primary keratinocyte system. This system reproduces under well defined culture conditions the switch between epithelial cell growth and differentiation wh...
متن کاملProbing virus-glycan interactions using glycan microarrays.
Glycan microarrays are surfaces that contain immobilized oligosaccharides or glycoconjugates and have proven useful in probing the interactions between glycan-binding proteins (GBPs) and individual glycans. Such glycan microarrays have been especially important in studying virus-glycan interactions, as most viruses express one or more GBPs important for pathogenesis. For studying interactions o...
متن کاملRho GTPase Rac1: molecular switch within the galectin network and for N-glycan α2,6-sialylation/O-glycan core 1 sialylation in colon cancer in vitro.
The Rho GTPase Rac1 is a multifunctional protein working through different effector pathways. The emerging physiological significance of glycanlectin recognition gives reason to testing the possibility for an influence of modulation of Rac1 expression on these molecular aspects. Using human colon adenocarcinoma (SW620) cells genetically engineered for its up- and down-regulation (Rac1+ and Rac1...
متن کاملGlycan-Glycan Interaction Determines Shigella Tropism toward Human T Lymphocytes
Direct interactions between bacterial and host glycans have been recently reported to be involved in the binding of pathogenic bacteria to host cells. In the case of Shigella, the Gram-negative enteroinvasive bacterium responsible for acute rectocolitis, such interactions contribute to bacterial adherence to epithelial cells. However, the role of glycans in the tropism of Shigella for immune ce...
