Kinetics of cytokine receptor trafficking determine signaling and functional selectivity
bioRxiv, 2019 Cytokines activate downstream signaling networks via assembly of cell surface receptors, but it is unclear whether modulation of cytokine-receptor binding parameters can modify biological outcomes.

Cooperative Stimulation of Dendritic Cells by Cryptococcus neoformans Mannoproteins and CpG Oligodeoxynucleotides [PDF]
, 2008 While mannosylation targets antigens to mannose receptors on dendritic cells (DC), the resultant immune response is suboptimal. We hypothesized that the addition of toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands would enhance the DC response to mannosylated antigens ...

The IL-12 Cytokine and Receptor Family in Graft-vs.-Host Disease
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is performed with curative intent for high- risk blood cancers and bone marrow failure syndromes; yet the development of acute and chronic graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) remain preeminent causes of ...

Pro- and anti-apoptotic fate decisions induced by di- and trimeric synthetic cytokine receptors
iScience, 2021 Summary: Synthetic strategies to activate cytokine receptors so far only address standard dimeric cytokine receptor assemblies. The 19 ligands of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF), however, form noncovalent trimers and receptor trimerization ...

Cytokine release syndrome and associated neurotoxicity in cancer immunotherapy
Nature reviews. Immunology, 2021 A paradigm shift has recently occurred in the field of cancer therapeutics. Traditional anticancer agents, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and small-molecule drugs targeting specific signalling pathways, have been joined by cellular immunotherapies ...

IGFBP-3 inhibits Wnt signaling in metastatic melanoma cells. [PDF]
, 2016 In previous works, we have shown that insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), a tissue and circulating protein able to bind to IGFs, decreases drastically in the blood serum of patients with diffuse metastatic melanoma.

Mechanistic Insights into Regulation of JAK2 Tyrosine Kinase
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 JAK2 is a member of the Janus kinase (JAKs) family of non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases, which includes JAK1–3 and TYK2. JAKs serve as the cytoplasmic signaling components of cytokine receptors and are activated through cytokine-mediated trans ...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta limits the expansion of pathogenic Th cells during central nervous system autoimmunity. [PDF]
, 2010 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs; PPAR-alpha, PPAR-delta, and PPAR-gamma) comprise a family of nuclear receptors that sense fatty acid levels and translate this information into altered gene transcription.

Extracellular Domain N-Glycosylation Controls Human Thrombopoietin Receptor Cell Surface Levels
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2011 The thrombopoietin receptor (TpoR) is a type I transmembrane protein that mediates the signaling functions of thrombopoietin (Tpo) in regulating megakaryocyte differentiation, platelet formation and hematopoietic stem cell renewal.
