CD49d promotes disease progression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia : new insights from CD49d bimodal expression

Tissino, Erika ; Pozzo, Federico ; Benedetti, Dania ; Caldana, Chiara ; Bittolo, Tamara ; Rossi, Francesca Maria ; Bomben, Riccardo ; Nanni, Paola ; Chivilò, Hillarj ; Cattarossi, Ilaria ; Zaina, Eva ; Norris, Kevin ; Polesel, Jerry ; Gentile, Massimo ; Tripepi, Giovanni ; Moia, Riccardo ; Santinelli, Enrico ; Innocenti, Idanna ; Olivieri, Jacopo ; D’Arena, Giovanni ; Laurenti, Luca ; Zaja, Francesco ; Pozzato, Gabriele ; Chiarenza, Annalisa ; Di Raimondo, Francesco ; Rossi, Davide ; Pepper, Chris ; Hartmann, Tanja Nicole ; Gaidano, Gianluca ; Del Poeta, Giovanni ; Gattei, Valter ; Zucchetto, Antonella

CD49d is a remarkable prognostic biomarker of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The cutoff value for the extensively validated 30% of positive CLL cells is able to separate CLL patients into 2 subgroups with different prognoses, but it does not consider the pattern of CD49d expression. In the present study, we analyzed a cohort of 1630 CLL samples and identified the presence of ∼20% of CLL...

Innovative preclinical models for pulmonary drug delivery research

Ehrmann, Stephan ; Schmid, Otmar ; Darquenne, Chantal ; Rothen-Rutishauser, Barbara ; Sznitman, Josue ; Yang, Lin ; Barosova, Hana ; Vecellio, Laurent ; Mitchell, Jolyon ; Heuze-Vourc’h, Nathalie

Introduction: Pulmonary drug delivery is a complex field of research combining physics which drive aerosol transport and deposition and biology which underpins efficacy and toxicity of inhaled drugs. A myriad of preclinical methods, ranging from in- silico to in-vitro, ex–vivo and in-vivo, can be implemented.Areas covered: The present review covers in-silico mathematical and computational...

β-Arrestin1 and β-Arrestin2 are required to support the activity of the CXCL12/HMGB1 heterocomplex on CXCR4

D’Agostino, Gianluca ; Artinger, Marc ; Locati, Massimo ; Perez, Laurent ; Legler, Daniel F. ; Bianchi, Marco E. ; Rüegg, Curzio ; Thelen, Marcus ; Marchese, Adriano ; Rocchi, Marco B. L. ; Cecchinato, Valentina ; Uguccioni, Mariagrazia

The chemokine receptor CXCR4 plays a fundamental role in homeostasis and pathology by orchestrating recruitment and positioning of immune cells, under the guidance of a CXCL12 gradient. The ability of chemokines to form heterocomplexes, enhancing their function, represents an additional level of regulation on their cognate receptors. In particular, the multi-faceted activity of the...

Increased anxiety after stimulation of the right inferior parietal lobe and the left orbitofrontal cortex

Grieder, Matthias ; Homan, Philipp ; Federspiel, Andrea ; Kiefer, Claus ; Hasler, Gregor

In: Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2020, vol. 11, p. -

Sustained anxiety is a key symptom of anxiety disorders and may be associated with neural activation in the right inferior parietal lobe (rIPL), particularly under unpredictable threat. This finding suggests a moderating role of the rIPL in sustained anxiety, which we tested in the current study. We applied cathodal or sham transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to the rIPL as a...

Use of EpiAlveolar lung model to predict fibrotic potential of multiwalled carbon nanotubes

Barosova, Hana ; Maione, Anna G. ; Septiadi, Dedy ; Sharma, Monita ; Haeni, Laetitia ; Balog, Sandor ; O’Connell, Olivia ; Jackson, George R. ; Brown, David ; Clippinger, Amy J. ; Hayden, Patrick ; Petri-Fink, Alke ; Stone, Vicki ; Rothen-Rutishauser, Barbara

In: ACS Nano, 2020, vol. 14, no. 4, p. 3941–3956

Expansion in production and commercial use of nanomaterials increases the potential human exposure during the lifecycle of these materials (production, use, and disposal). Inhalation is a primary route of exposure to nanomaterials; therefore it is critical to assess their potential respiratory hazard. Herein, we developed a three-dimensional alveolar model (EpiAlveolar) consisting of human...

How do ethanolamine plasmalogens contribute to order and structure of neurological membranes?

West, Ana ; Zoni, Valeria ; Teague, Walter E. ; Leonard, Alison N. ; Vanni, Stefano ; Gawrisch, Klaus ; Tristram-Nagle, Stephanie ; Sachs, Jonathan N. ; Klauda, Jeffery B.

In: The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2020, vol. 124, no. 5, p. 828–839

Ethanolamine plasmalogen (EtnPLA) is a conical-shaped ether lipid and an essential component of neurological membranes. Low stability against oxidation limits its study in experiments. The concentration of EtnPLA in the bilayer varies depending on cell type and disease progression. Here we report on mixed bilayers of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and 1-(1Z-...
