TAM receptor signalling and demyelination.
The TAM family (Tyro3, Axl and Mer) of receptor protein tyrosine kinases play pivotal roles in a number of major cellular processes: cell survival and proliferation, immunomodulation and phagocytosis. These processes are central to both the initial development and pathological course of human multiple sclerosis. All three receptors and their ligands, Gas6 (growth arrest-specific gene 6) and pro...
متن کاملDeath receptor signalling in central nervous system inflammation and demyelination.
Death receptors (DRs) are members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNF-R) superfamily that are characterised by the presence of a conserved intracellular death domain and are able to trigger a signalling pathway leading to apoptosis. Strong evidence suggests that DRs contribute to the pathology of tissue destructive diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS), the most common inflammatory...
متن کاملDifferential TAM receptor–ligand–phospholipid interactions delimit differential TAM bioactivities
The TAM receptor tyrosine kinases Tyro3, Axl, and Mer regulate key features of cellular physiology, yet the differential activities of the TAM ligands Gas6 and Protein S are poorly understood. We have used biochemical and genetic analyses to delineate the rules for TAM receptor-ligand engagement and find that the TAMs segregate into two groups based on ligand specificity, regulation by phosphat...
متن کاملDiversification of TAM receptor function
Apoptotic cell clearance is critical for both tissue homeostasis and the resolution of inflammation. We found that the TAM receptor tyrosine kinases Axl and Mer played distinct roles as phagocytic receptors in these two settings, where they exhibited divergent expression, regulation, and activity. Mer acted as a tolerogenic receptor in resting macrophages and in settings of immune suppression. ...
متن کاملNogo receptor blockade enhances subventricular zone’s stem cells proliferation and differentiation in demyelination context
Introduction: Nogo-A and Nogo receptor (NgR) are expressed in the subventricular zone (SVZ) stem cells. NgR plays critical inhibitory roles in axonal regeneration and remyelination. However, the role of NgR in SVZ niche behaviors in demyelination context is still uncertain. Here we investigated the effects of NgR inhibition on SVZ niche reaction in a local model of demyelination in adult mouse ...
