Raft-like lipid microdomains drive autophagy initiation via AMBRA1-ERLIN1 molecular association within MAMs

Manganelli, Valeria ; Matarrese, Paola ; Antonioli, Manuela ; Gambardella, Lucrezia ; Vescovo, Tiziana ; Gretzmeier, Christine ; Longo, Agostina ; Capozzi, Antonella ; Recalchi, Serena ; Riitano, Gloria ; Misasi, Roberta ; Dengjel, Jörn ; Malorni, Walter ; Fimia, Gian Maria ; Sorice, Maurizio ; Garofalo, Tina

In: Autophagy, 2020, p. 1-21

Mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) are essential communication subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that interact with mitochondria. We previously demonstrated that, upon macroautophagy/autophagy induction, AMBRA1 is recruited to the BECN1 complex and relocalizes to MAMs, where it regulates autophagy by interacting with raft-like components. ERLIN1 is an endoplasmic reticulum...

Bovine lactoferrin-induced CCL1 expression involves distinct receptors in monocyte-derived dendritic cells and their monocyte precursors

Latorre, Daniela ; Pulvirenti, Nadia ; Covino, Daniela Angela ; Varano, Barbara ; Purificato, Cristina ; Rainaldi, Gabriella ; Gauzzi, Maria Cristina ; Fantuzzi, Laura ; Conti, Lucia ; Donninelli, Gloria ; Del Cornò, Manuela ; Sabbatucci, Michela ; Gessani, Sandra ; Puddu, Patrizia

Lactoferrin (LF) exhibits a wide range of immunomodulatory activities including modulation of cytokine and chemokine secretion. In this study, we demonstrate that bovine LF (bLF) up-modulates, in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, CCL1 secretion in monocytes (Mo) at the early stage of differentiation toward dendritic cells (DCs), and in fully differentiated immature Mo-derived DCs...

Characterization of variable regions of the Gp120 protein from HIV-1 subtype C virus variants obtained from individuals at different disease stages in Sub-Saharan Africa

Cenci, A. ; Tavoschi, L. ; D'Avenio, G. ; Narino, P. ; Becattini, S. ; Bernasconi, D. ; Chiappi, M. ; La Torre, L. ; Sukati, H. ; Vardas, E. ; Lo Presti, A. ; Cella, E. ; Ciccozzi, M. ; Picconi, O. ; Monini, P. ; Ensoli, B. ; Buttò, S.

In: Journal of AIDS & clinical research, 2012, vol. S8:006, p. 1-10

Background: The development of a vaccine against HIV/AIDS capable of preventing virus infection has been hampered by the HIV envelope (Env) heterogeneity that makes it difficult to induce neutralizing antibodies against Env proteins from different HIV clades. Several studies have indicated that gp120 Env protein sequence tends to change considerably during the course of HIV disease which...

Microneurography as a tool to develop decoding algorithms for peripheral neuro-controlled hand prostheses

Petrini, Francesco M. ; Mazzoni, Alberto ; Rigosa, Jacopo ; Giambattistelli, Federica ; Granata, Giuseppe ; Barra, Beatrice ; Pampaloni, Alessandra ; Guglielmelli, Eugenio ; Zollo, Loredana ; Capogrosso, Marco ; Micera, Silvestro ; Raspopovic, Stanisa

In: BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2019, vol. 18, no. 1, p. 44

The usability of dexterous hand prostheses is still hampered by the lack of natural and effective control strategies. A decoding strategy based on the processing of descending efferent neural signals recorded using peripheral neural interfaces could be a solution to such limitation. Unfortunately, this choice is still restrained by the reduced knowledge of the dynamics of human efferent...

Effective equilibrium states in the colored-noise model for active matter II. A unified framework for phase equilibria, structure and mechanical properties

Wittmann, René ; Marconi, Umberto Marini Bettolo ; Maggi, C ; Brader, Joseph M.

In: Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2017, vol. 2017, no. 11, p. 113208

Active particles driven by colored noise can be approximately mapped onto a system that obeys detailed balance. The effective interactions which can be derived for such a system allow the description of the structure and phase behavior of the active fluid by means of an effective free energy. In this paper we explain why the related thermodynamic results for pressure and interfacial tension...
