Numerous loss-of-function mutations in the progranulin (GRN) gene cause frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitin and TAR-DNA binding protein 43-positive inclusions by reduced production and secretion of GRN. Consistent with the observation that GRN has neurotrophic properties, pharmacological stimulation of GRN production is a promising approach to rescue GRN haploinsufficiency and prev...
Intracellular collagen degradation by fibroblasts is an important but poorly understood pathway for the physiological remodeling of mature connective tissues. The objective of this study was to determine whether gingival fibroblasts that express endogenous alpha(2)beta(1) integrin, the collagen receptor, would exhibit the cellular machinery required for phagosomal maturation and collagen degrad...
We investigated the cytotoxicity mechanisms of alloantigen-specific human CD4(+) and CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) using cells from family members with the Fas gene mutation. Alloantigen-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) CTL bulk lines and clones were generated from 2 individuals by stimulation of their peripheral blood lymphocytes with allogeneic Fas(-/-) or Fas(+/-) cell lines that were esta...
To evaluate whether K depletion enhances in vivo bicarbonate reabsorption ([Formula: see text]in surviving distal tubules (DT), we compared DT[Formula: see text]in five-sixths nephrectomized rats (Nx) with and without dietary K depletion (Nx-K). Furthermore, to identify possible mechanisms of increased[Formula: see text], we perfused inhibitors of proton secretion in both Nx and Nx-K rats.[Form...
Steroid hormones such as 17β-estradiol (E2) are known to modulate ion transporter expression in the kidney through classic intracellular receptors. Steroid hormones are also known to cause rapid nongenomic responses in a variety of nonrenal tissues. However, little is known about renal short-term effects of steroid hormones. Here, we studied the acute actions of E2 on intracellular Ca(2+) signa...
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a significant problem in the treatment of cancer. Chemotherapeutic drugs distribute through the cyto- and nucleoplasm of drug-sensitive cells but are excluded from the nucleus in drug-resistant cells, concentrating in cytoplasmic organelles. Weak base chemotherapeutic drugs (e.g., anthracyclines and vinca alkaloids) should concentrate in acidic organelles. This rep...
Granulysin is located in the acidic granules of cytotoxic T cells. Although the purified protein has antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of microbial pathogens, direct evidence for granulysin-mediated cytotoxicity has heretofore been lacking. Studies were performed to examine the regulation and activity of granulysin expressed by CD8 T cells using Cryptococcus neoformans, which is o...
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) can kill target cells by the granule/exocytosis pathway or the Fas-mediated apoptosis pathway. The sensitivity of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) B cells to CTL-mediated apoptosis before and after CD40 activation was examined. Resting or CD40-activated CLL cells were found to be equally sensitive to class I-restricted CTL-mediated killing. Despite expressing CD...
West Nile virus (WNV) is a worldwide distributed mosquito-borne flavivirus that naturally cycles between birds and mosquitoes, although it can infect multiple vertebrate hosts including horses and humans. This virus is responsible for recurrent epidemics of febrile illness and encephalitis, and has recently become a global concern. WNV requires to transit through intracellular acidic compartmen...
We previously demonstrated that vaccinia virus (VV)-specific CD4(+) cytolytic T cells can persist for >50 years after immunization against smallpox in the absence of re-exposure to VV. Nevertheless, there have been few studies focusing on CD4(+) T cell responses to smallpox vaccination. To ensure successful vaccination, a candidate vaccine should contain immunodominant CD4(+) T cell epitopes as...
