Characterization of these complexes by micro-sequencing and immuno- blotting reveals known receptors for modified forms of LDL, multiple GPI-linked proteins, an anion transporter, cytoskeletal elements, and cytoplasmic signaling molecules--including Src-like kinases, hetero- trimeric G-proteins, and three members of the Rap family of small GTPases.

Enhanced activity of CR3 and other members of the CD11/CD18 family underlies many of the known physiological responses of PMN to LPS and may be a central feature of the in vivo responses ofPMN to endotoxin.

These data provide the first evidence that pharmacologic inhibition of intracellular GC activation can effectively treat atherosclerosis, the key clinical consequence of metabolic syndrome, in addition to its salutary effect on multiple aspects of the metabolic syndrome itself.

Expression of the Type I Diabetes-associated Gene LRP5 in Macrophages, Vitamin A System Cells, and the Islets of Langerhans Suggests Multiple Potential Roles in Diabetes

- 1 October 2000
An extensive expression analysis of this gene at the mRNA and protein levels in normal human, monkey, and mouse, as well as in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, suggests that LRP5 may confer Type 1 diabetes risk by altering the normal functioning of one or more of these regulatory systems.
Enzymatically inactive macrophage migration inhibitory factor inhibits monocyte chemotaxis and random migration.

- 4 September 1999
A new biological function is reported for MIF, as an inhibitor of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1- (MCP-1-) induced chemotaxis of human peripheral blood monocytes, and it is found that MIF inhibition ofChemotaxis does not occur at the level of the CC chemokine receptor for M CP-1, CCR2, since MIF does not alter the binding of (125)I-MCP -1 to monocytes.
