Human guanylate binding protein-1 (GBP-1) is a large GTPase that is induced by inflammatory cytokines and acts antiangiogenically through the inhibition of endothelial cell proliferation and migration. In this study, we detected that GBP-1-expressing cells show a significantly reduced spreading
Integrins are adhesion receptors that mediate both cell-extracellular matrix and cell-cell interactions. It has also been reported that the loss of integrin alpha4 expression might be associated with metastasis in several cancers. However, the molecular mechanism for loss of their

To examine the migratory properties of cytokine-activated T (Tck) cells. Tck cells were generated by culture of peripheral blood T cells in the presence of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor α, and IL-2. Changes in cell surface phenotype were analyzed
Adhesive properties of leukemia cells shape the degree of organ infiltration and the extent of leukocytosis. CD44 and the integrin VLA-4, a CD49d/CD29 heterodimer, are important factors of progenitor cell adhesion in bone marrow (BM). Here, we report their cooperation
HIV infects and replicates in CD4+ T cells but effects on host immunity and disease also involve depletion, hyper-activation, and modification of CD4-negative cell populations. In particular, the depletion of CD4-negative γδ T cells is common to all HIV+ individuals.
