Polarized expression of the Kir 2.3 channel in renal epithelial cells is influenced by the opposing activities of two different PDZ proteins. Mammalian Lin-7 (mLin-7) directly interacts with Kir 2.3 to coordinate basolateral membrane expression, whereas the tax interacting protein 1 (TIP-1), composed of a single PDZ domain, competes for interaction with mLin-7 and drives Kir 2.3 into the endocy...
Inwardly rectifying K+ (Kir) channels are responsible for maintaining endothelial membrane potential and play a key role in endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation. In this study, we show that endothelial Kir channels are suppressed by hypercholesterolemic levels of lipoproteins in vitro and by serum hypercholesterolemia in vivo. Specifically, exposing human aortic endothelial cells to acetylated ...
RESULTS: All 16 KIR genes known were observed in the Albanian individuals and framework genes (KIR3DL3, KIR3DP1, KIR2DL4, and KIR3DL2) were present in all individuals. The frequencies of other KIR genes were: KIR2DP1 (0.981), KIR2DL1 (1), KIR2DL2 (0.615), KIR2DL3 (0.865), KIR2DL5 (0.414), KIR3DL1 (0.933), KIR2DS1 (0.462), KIR2DS2 (0.606), KIR2DS3 (0.327), KIR2DS4 (0.875), KIR2DS5 (0.298), and K...
Successful allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) depends not only on good HLA match but also on T-cell mediated graft-versus-leukemia (GvL) effect. Natural killer (NK) cells are able to kill malignant cells by receiving activation signal from the killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) recognizing HLA molecules on a cancer cell. It has been recently reported that the...
Some pygmy chimpanzees (also called Bonobos) give much simpler patterns of hybridization on Southern blotting with killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) cDNA probes than do either humans or common chimpanzees. Characterization of KIRs from pygmy chimpanzees having simple and complex banding patterns identified nine different KIRs, representing seven genes. Five of these genes have orth...
Natural killer (NK) cells are regulated by interactions between polymorphic killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and human leukocyte antigens (HLA). Genotypic combinations of KIR3DS1/L1 and HLA Bw4-80I were previously shown to influence HIV-1 disease progression, however other KIR genes have not been well studied. In this study, we analyzed the influence of all activating and inhibitory K...
BACKGROUND Killer-cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIR) interact with Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) to modify natural killer- and T-cell function. KIR are implicated in HIV acquisition by small studies that have not been widely replicated. A role for KIR in HIV disease progression is more widely replicated and supported by functional studies. METHODS To assess the role of KIR and KIR ligan...
PURPOSE NK cells exhibit cytotoxicity against neuroblastoma. Gene polymorphisms governing NK cell function, therefore, may influence prognosis. Two highly polymorphic genetic loci instrumental in determining NK cell responses encode the NK cell killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and their class I human leukocyte antigen (HLA) ligands. We hypothesized that patients with a "missing ligand...
Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) are expressed on natural killer (NK) cells and on subpopulations of T cells, mostly CD8 cells, that have memory phenotype. KIR thus have the potential to contribute to both the innate immune response, through the action of NK cells, and the adaptive immune response, through the action of memory T cells. KIR were first defined functionally in the c...
The polymorphism of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) has been associated with several diseases, including infection, autoimmunity and cancer. KIR molecules are a family of receptors expressed on the surface of natural killer cells (NK), frontline defense of innate immunity against microorganisms and neoplastic cells. Some studies have shown conflicting results concerning the role...
