Characterization and functional analysis of mouse Ficolin B

open access: yes, 2012
The innate immune system contributes day by day to the elimination of invading pathogens. The lectin pathway of the complement system is initiated when mannose-binding-lectin (MBL) or ficolins interact with MASP-2.

Extracellular Vesicle‐Transferred ATP‐Citrate Lyase Induces Monocyte Differentiation Toward Tumor‐Associated Macrophages and Fuels Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) enrich the metabolic enzyme ATP‐citrate lyase (ACLY). EV‐transferred ACLY enhances palmitate biosynthesis, increases the S‐palmitoylation and stability of multiple immune checkpoint proteins, augments the cellular immunosuppressive activity, and ultimately accelerates the malignant ...

Sense–Analyze–Respond–Actuate (SARA) Paradigm: Proof of Concept System Spanning Nanoscale and Macroscale Actuation for Detection of Escherichia coli in Aqueous Media

open access: yesActuators, 2020
Foodborne pathogens are a major concern for public health. We demonstrate for the first time a partially automated sensing system for rapid (~17 min), label-free impedimetric detection of Escherichia coli spp.

Binding and toxicity of plant lectins to insects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The toxicity of plant lectins to insects after oral ingestion was investigated by incorporating the proteins into insect diets. Bioassays carried out using an artificial diet system demonstrated that kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) lectin (PHA) caused a

The distribution of N-acetylgalactosamine in the cochlear nucleus of the gerbil revealed by lectin binding with soybean agglutinin

open access: yes, 1994
A horseradish peroxidase conjugated lectin from Glycine max (soy bean agglutinin; SBA) was used to characterise the distribution of N-acetylgalactosamine in the cochlear nucleus of the mongolian gerbil. SBA bound differentially to a variety of structures

NSUN5 Attenuates Renal Injury and Ferroptosis in Hyperuricaemic Nephropathy Through YBX2‐Dependent Stabilisation of SCD1 m5C Methylation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
NSUN5 is downregulated in hyperuricaemic nephropathy. Overexpression of NSUN5 enhances the stability of SCD1 mRNA through the m5C reader YBX2, ultimately inhibiting ferroptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells. Additionally, this axis suppresses the NF‐κB signaling pathway to alleviate inflammation and upregulates ABCG2 to promote uric acid excretion,

Lectin microarray profiling of metastatic breast cancers

open access: yes, 2011
Altered protein glycosylation compared to the disease-free state is a universal feature of cancer cells. It has long been established that distinct glycan structures are associated with specific forms of cancer, but far less is known about the complete ...

Fully Humanized Bispecific T Cell Engager Shows Potent Activity in Central Nervous System and Peripheral Tumors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reports the development of a fully humanized bispecific T cell engager targeting IL13RA2, a tumor‐associated antigen enriched in glioblastoma. This off‐the‐shelf immunotherapy drives potent, antigen‐dependent T cell activation and tumor killing, and prolongs survival in experimental GBM and other solid tumors models without detectable off ...

Isolation and characterization of a novel lectin gene, Allium triquetrum agglutin, conferring insecticidal properties against Myzus persicae

open access: yes, 2009
Myzus persicae, more commonly known as green peach aphid, is an important pest in agriculture. Each year it causes great losses to agricultural and horticultural plants. It feeds on sap in the phloem, the main transportation route for plant nutrients. It

Association of Chlamydia pneumoniae with coronary artery disease and its progression is dependent on the modifying effect of mannose-binding lectin

open access: yes, 2002
Background— The possible association between coronary artery disease (CAD) and Chlamydia pneumoniae (C pneumoniae) infection is controversial. On the basis of the recent suggestion that mannose-binding lectin (MBL) variant alleles are related to an ...
