TRPM7 kinase activity is essential for T cell colonization and alloreactivity in the gut

Romagnani, Andrea ; Vettore, Valentina ; Rezzonico-Jost, Tanja ; Hampe, Sarah ; Rottoli, Elsa ; Nadolni, Wiebke ; Perotti, Michela ; Meier, Melanie A. ; Hermanns, Constanze ; Geiger, Sheila ; Wennemuth, Gunther ; Recordati, Camilla ; Matsushita, Masayuki ; Muehlich, Susanne ; Proietti, Michele ; Chubanov, Vladimir ; Gudermann, Thomas ; Grassi, Fabio ; Zierler, Susanna

The melastatin-like transient-receptor-potential-7 protein (TRPM7), harbouring a cation channel and a serine/threonine kinase, has been implicated in thymopoiesis and cytokine expression. Here we show, by analysing TRPM7 kinase-dead mutant (Trpm7 R/R) mice, that the enzymatic activity of the receptor is not essential for thymopoiesis, but is required for CD103 transcription and gut-homing of ...

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cancer metastasis through the lymphatic syste

It was already in the 18th century when the French surgeon LeDran first noted that breast cancer patients with spread of tumor cells to their axillary lymph nodes had a drastically worse prognosis than patients without spread (LeDran et al., ). Since then, metastatic spread of cancer cells to regional lymph nodes has been established as the most important prognostic factor in many types of...

The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) enhances human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transcytosis across epithelial cells

Gupta, Sandeep ; Gach, Johannes S. ; Becerra, Juan C. ; Phan, Tran B. ; Pudney, Jeffrey ; Moldoveanu, Zina ; Joseph, Sarah B. ; Landucci, Gary ; Supnet, Medalyn Jude ; Ping, Li-Hua ; Corti, Davide ; Moldt, Brian ; Hel, Zdenek ; Lanzavecchia, Antonio ; Ruprecht, Ruth M. ; Burton, Dennis R. ; Mestecky, Jiri ; Anderson, Deborah J. ; Forthal, Donald N.

The mechanisms by which human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) crosses mucosal surfaces to establish infection are unknown. Acidic genital secretions of HIV-1-infected women contain HIV-1 likely coated by antibody. We found that the combination of acidic pH and Env- specific IgG, including that from cervicovaginal and seminal fluids of HIV-1-infected individuals, augmented transcytosis...

Rag defects and thymic stroma : lessons from animal models

Marrella, Veronica ; Poliani, Pietro Luigi ; Notarangelo, Luigi Daniele ; Grassi, Fabio ; Villa, Anna

In: Frontiers in immunology, 2014, vol. 5, p. 259

Thymocytes and thymic epithelial cells (TECs) cross-talk is essential to support T cell development and preserve thymic architecture and maturation of TECs and Foxp3+ natural regulatory T cells. Accordingly, disruption of thymic lymphostromal cross-talk may have major implications on the thymic mechanisms that govern T cell tolerance. Several genetic defects have been described in humans that...

HTLV-1 propels thymic human T cell development in “human immune system” Rag2-/- gamma c-/- Mice

Villaudy, Julien ; Wencker, Mélanie ; Gadot, Nicolas ; Gillet, Nicolas A. ; Scoazec, Jean-Yves ; Gazzolo, Louis ; Manz, Markus G. ; Bangham, Charles R. M. ; Duc Dodon, Madeleine

Alteration of early haematopoietic development is thought to be responsible for the onset of immature leukemias and lymphomas. We have previously demonstrated that TaxHTLV-1 interferes with ß- selection, an important checkpoint of early thymopoiesis, indicating that human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection has the potential to perturb thymic human αβ T-cell development. To...
