RGS2-deficient mice exhibit decreased intraocular pressure and increased retinal ganglion cell survival
PURPOSE Contractile activity of the trabecular meshwork (TM) and ciliary muscle (CM) influences aqueous humor drainage; however, the mechanisms linking tissue contractility and regulation of aqueous humor drainage are not well understood. Regulator of G Protein Signaling 2 (RGS2), a GTPase-activating protein of the Galphaq family of proteins, plays a critical role in regulation of contractile a...
متن کاملNumber and percentage of NK-cells are decreased in growth hormone-deficient adults.
Snell-Bagg mice and Ames dwarf mice repeatedly show severe immunodeficiencies, affecting mostly the thymus- dependent lymphocyte system, probably caused by growth hormone deficiency. In growth hormone-deficient children contradictory data on the immune status have been reported. We investigated indices of cellular immunity in 22 adult patients with proven growth hormone deficiency in comparison...
متن کاملImpaired NK cytolytic activity and enhanced tumor growth in NK lytic-associated molecule-deficient mice.
NK lytic-associated molecule (NKLAM) is a protein involved in the cytolytic function of NK cells. It is weakly expressed in resting NK cells but upon target cell stimulation or after incubation with cytokines that enhance NK killing, NKLAM mRNA levels increase and protein is synthesized and is targeted to cytoplasmic granule membranes. We have previously shown that NKLAM plays a role in perfori...
متن کاملMicroRNA-deficient Schwann cells display congenital hypomyelination.
MicroRNAs, by modulating gene expression, have been implicated as regulators of various cellular and physiological processes, including differentiation, proliferation, and cancer. Here, we study the role of microRNAs in Schwann cell (SC) differentiation by conditional removal of the microRNA processing enzyme Dicer1. We reveal that both male and female mice lacking Dicer1 in SC (Dicer1 conditio...
متن کاملArming NK cells with enhanced antitumor activity
Natural killer (NK) cells hold great promise for adoptive cancer immunotherapy. The antitumor activity of NK cells can be enhanced by the transgene driven expression of chimeric antigen receptors that facilitate the selective recognition and killing of malignant cells. Recent data from our laboratory suggest that NK cells may similarly be "armed" against neoplastic cells by the expression of ca...
