Complex Determinants in Specific Members of the Mannose Receptor Family Govern Collagen Endocytosis*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014
Background: Mannose receptor family members are candidate mediators of intracellular collagen degradation. Results: Despite common candidate collagen-binding domains and endocytic capacity throughout the family, only uPARAP/Endo180 and MR internalize ...

Advances and Strategies in Enhancing mRNA Cancer Vaccines

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines offer a powerful approach for cancer immunotherapy, but their clinical impact remains limited by delivery challenges and suboptimal immune activation. This review discusses key biological barriers and design strategies—including structural optimization, immunomodulation, organ targeting delivery, and advanced nanocarriers ...

Interactions between the mannose receptor and thyroid autoantigens

Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2004
SummaryThyroid autoantigens require internalization and processing by antigen-presenting cells to induce immune responses. Besides pinocytosis, antigen uptake can be receptor-mediated. The mannose receptor (ManR) has a cysteine rich domain (CR) and eight carbohydrate recognition domains (CRD) that bind glycosylated proteins.

Expression of the Inhibitory CD200 Receptor Is Associated with Alternative Macrophage Activation [PDF]

, 2010
Classical macrophage activation is inhibited by the CD200 receptor (CD200R). Here, we show that CD200R expression was specifically induced on human in vitro polarized macrophages of the alternatively activated M2a subtype, generated by incubation with IL-

Loss of NR2F6 Protects from Salmonella Typhimurium Infection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Loss of nuclear receptor NR2F6 reduces tissue‐resident macrophage populations. Nr2f6‐deficient mice are protected from weight loss and bacterial load during infection with Salmonella Typhimurium. Pro‐inflammatory cytokines and iron levels are altered in infected Nr2f6‐deficient mice.
