Evidence that the degree of band 3 phosphorylation modulates human erythrocytes nitric oxide efflux – in vitro model of hyperfibrinogenemia [PDF]
© 2011 – IOS Press and the authors. All rights reservedRecent evidence has shown that plasma fibrinogen, a major cardiovascular risk factor, interacts with the erythrocyte membrane and acts to influence blood flow via erythrocyte nitric oxide (NO ...

Loss of CD47 alters CD8+ T cell activation in vitro and immunodynamics in mice
CD47 has established roles in the immune system for regulating macrophage phagocytosis and lymphocyte activation, with growing evidence of its cell-intrinsic regulatory roles in natural killer and CD8+ T cells.

CD47 as a promising therapeutic target in oncology
CD47 is ubiquitously expressed on the surface of cells and plays a critical role in self-recognition. By interacting with SIRPα, TSP-1 and integrins, CD47 modulates cellular phagocytosis by macrophages, determines life span of individual erythrocytes, regulates activation of immune cells, and manipulates synaptic pruning during neuronal development. As

Influence of sex steroids on the viability and CD11b, CD18 and CD47 expression of blood neutrophils from dairy cows in the last month of gestation [PDF]
In the period around parturition, cows experience an increased susceptibility for the development of Escherichia coli mastitis. This increased susceptibility has been correlated with a decreased functionality of neutrophils.

Signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) regulates the homeostasis of CD103⁺CD11b⁺ DCs in the intestinal lamina propria [PDF]
Signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRP alpha/CD172a) is a conserved transmembrane protein thought to play an inhibitory role in immune function by binding the ubiquitous ligand CD47.

CD47 blockade reverses resistance to HDAC inhibitor by liberating anti-tumor capacity of macrophages
Targeting oncogenic histone modification by histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) demonstrates promising prospects in clinical cancer treatment, whereas a notable proportion of patients cannot benefit from HDACi therapy.

CD47 in Osteosarcoma: Correlation with Metastasis and Macrophage-Mediated Phagocytosis
CD47 is expressed on cell surfaces and acts as a “don’t eat me” signal by interacting with signal-regulatory protein-α on the macrophage surface. Some cancer cells express CD47 protein and can evade macrophage phagocytosis.
