Role of ETS1 in the transcriptional network of diffuse large B cell lymphoma of the activated B cell-like type

Priebe, Valdemar ; Sartori, Giulio ; Napoli, Sara ; Chung, Elaine Yee Lin ; Cascione, Luciano ; Kwee, Ivo ; Arribas, Alberto Jesus ; Mensah, Afua Adjeiwaa ; Rinaldi, Andrea ; Ponzoni, Maurilio ; Zucca, Emanuele ; Rossi, Davide ; Efremov, Dimitar ; Lenz, Georg ; Thome, Margot ; Bertoni, Francesco

In: Cancers, 2020, vol. 12, no. 7, p. 17 p

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogenous disease that has been distinguished into at least two major molecular entities, the germinal center-like B cell (GCB) DLBCL and activated-like B cell (ABC) DLBCL, based on transcriptome expression profiling. A recurrent ch11q24.3 gain is observed in roughly a fourth of DLBCL cases resulting in the overexpression of two ETS transcription...

Maintenance fluid therapy with saline, dextrose-supplemented saline or lactated Ringer in childhood: short-term metabolic effects

Ricciuti, Alessandra ; Milani, Gregorio P. ; Tarantino, Silvia ; Ghilardi, Roberta ; Lava, Sebastiano A.G. ; Alberzoni, Marco ; Bianchetti, Mario G. ; Agostoni, Carlo

In: Nutrients, 2020, vol. 12, no. 5, p. 8 p

Maintenance with isotonic fluids is recommended in children with gastroenteritis and failure of oral rehydration therapy. However, little is known on the short-term effects of the commonly prescribed intravenous solutions on metabolic balance in children. The aim of this study is to report on our experience with normal saline, dextrose-supplemented saline and lactated Ringer solution. Methods:...

Salivary gland macrophages and tissue-resident CD8+ T cells cooperate for homeostatic organ surveillance

Stolp, Bettina ; Thelen, Flavian ; Ficht, Xenia ; Altenburger, Lukas M. ; Ruef, Nora ; Inavalli, V. V. G. Krishna ; Germann, Philipp ; Page, Nicolas ; Moalli, Federica ; Raimondi, Andrea ; Keyser, Kirsten A. ; Jafari, S. Morteza Seyed ; Barone, Francesca ; Dettmer, Matthias S. ; Merkler, Doron ; Iannacone, Matteo ; Sharpe, James ; Schlapbach, Christoph ; Fackler, Oliver T. ; Nägerl, U. Valentin ; Stein, Jens V.

It is well established that tissue macrophages and tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells (TRM) play important roles for pathogen sensing and rapid protection of barrier tissues. In contrast, the mechanisms by which these two cell types cooperate for homeostatic organ surveillance after clearance of infections is poorly understood. Here, we used intravital imaging to show that TRM dynamically...

Selective ß2-adrenoceptor agonists and relevant hyperlactatemia : systematic review and meta-analysis

Liedtke, Alina G. ; Lava, Sebastiano A. G. ; Milani, Gregorio P. ; Agostoni, Carlo ; Gilardi, Viola ; Bianchetti, Mario G. ; Treglia, Giorgio ; Faré, Pietro B.

In: Journal of clinical medicine, 2020, vol. 9, no. 1, p. 71

Selective ß2-agonists have been imputed as potential cause of l-hyperlactatemia since the 1970s. To document the prevalence of hyperlactatemia associated with selective ß2-agonists and to investigate the predisposing factors, we searched for published articles until April 2019 pertaining to the interplay of administration of selective ß2-agonists and circulating l-lactic acid in the Excerpta...

In vivo function of the lipid raft protein flotillin-1 during cd8+ t cell–mediated host surveillance

Ficht, Xenia ; Ruef, Nora ; Stolp, Bettina ; Samson, Guerric P. B. ; Moalli, Federica ; Page, Nicolas ; Merkler, Doron ; Nichols, Ben J. ; Diz-Muñoz, Alba ; Legler,, Daniel F. ; Niggli, Verena

In: The Journal of Immunology, 2019, p. -

Flotillin-1 (Flot1) is an evolutionary conserved, ubiquitously expressed lipid raft– associated scaffolding protein. Migration of Flot1-deficient neutrophils is impaired because of a decrease in myosin II–mediated contractility. Flot1 also accumulates in the uropod of polarized T cells, suggesting an analogous role in T cell migration. In this study, we analyzed morphology and migration...

Proteasomal and lysosomal clearance of faulty secretory proteins : ER-associated degradation (ERAD) and ER-to-lysosome-associated degradation (ERLAD) pathways

Fregno, Ilaria ; Molinari, Maurizio

In: Critical reviews in biochemistry and molecular biology, 2019, vol. 54, no. 2, p. 153-163

About 40% of the eukaryotic cell’s proteins are inserted co- or post-translationally in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where they attain the native structure under the assistance of resident molecular chaperones and folding enzymes. Subsequently, these proteins are secreted from cells or are transported to their sites of function at the plasma membrane or in organelles of the secretory and ...

ESCRT-III-driven piecemeal micro-ER-phagy remodels the ER during recovery from ER stress

Loi, Marisa ; Raimondi, Andrea ; Morone, Diego ; Molinari, Maurizio

In: Nature communications, 2019, vol. 10, p. 5058

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) produces about 40% of the nucleated cell’s proteome. ER size and content in molecular chaperones increase upon physiologic and pathologic stresses on activation of unfolded protein responses (UPR). On stress resolution, the mammalian ER is remodeled to pre-stress, physiologic size and function on activation of the LC3-binding activity of the translocon...

Schwann cells ER-associated degradation contributes to myelin maintenance in adult nerves and limits demyelination in CMT1B mice

Volpi, Vera G. ; Ferri, Cinzia ; Fregno, Ilaria ; Del Carro, Ubaldo ; Bianchi, Francesca ; Scapin, Cristina ; Pettinato, Emanuela ; Solda, Tatiana ; Feltri, M. Laura ; Molinari, Maurizio ; Wrabetz, Lawrence ; D’Antonio, Maurizio

In: PLOS genetics, 2019, vol. 15, no. 4, p. e1008069

In the peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelinating Schwann cells synthesize large amounts of myelin protein zero (P0) glycoprotein, an abundant component of peripheral nerve myelin. In humans, mutations in P0 cause the demyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1B (CMT1B) neuropathy, one of the most diffused genetic disorders of the PNS. We previously showed that several mutations, such as the...

Identification of a novel non-desmoglein autoantigen in Pemphigus Vulgaris

Di Lullo, Giulia ; Calabresi, Valentina ; Mariotti, Feliciana ; Zambruno, Giovanna ; Lanzavecchia, Antonio ; Di Zenzo, Giovanni

In: Frontiers in immunology, 2019, vol. 10, p. 1391

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune bullous disease of the skin and mucous membranes characterized by the presence of circulating and tissue-bound autoantibodies against keratinocyte cell surface antigens, specifically desmoglein (Dsg) 1 and 3. The pathogenic role of anti-Dsg antibodies is well-established, while the mechanism of blister formation is only partly defined. We have applied...

Quality control mechanisms of protein biogenesis : proteostasis dies hard

Bergmann, Timothy Jan ; Brambilla Pisoni, Giorgia ; Molinari, Maurizio

In: AIMS biophysics, 2016, vol. 3, no. 4, p. 456-478

The biosynthesis of proteins entails a complex series of chemical reactions that transform the information stored in the nucleic acid sequence into a polypeptide chain that needs to properly fold and reach its functional location in or outside the cell. It is of no surprise that errors might occur that alter the polypeptide sequence leading to a non-functional proteins or that impede delivery...
