Abstract
The urokinase plasminogen activator receptor-associated protein (uPARAP/Endo180) is already known to be a key collagen receptor involved in collagen internalization and degradation in mesenchymal cells and some macrophages. It is one of the four members of the mannose receptor family along with a macrophage mannose receptor (MMR), a phospholipase lipase receptor (PLA2R), and a dendritic receptor (DEC-205). As a clathrin-dependent endocytic receptor for collagen or large collagen fragments as well as through its association with urokinase (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR), uPARAP/Endo180 takes part in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, cell chemotaxis and migration under physiological (tissue homeostasis and repair) and pathological (fibrosis, cancer) conditions. Recent advances that have shown an expanded contribution of this multifunctional protein across a broader range of biological processes, including vascular biology and innate immunity, are summarized in this paper. It has previously been demonstrated that uPARAP/Endo180 assists in lymphangiogenesis through its capacity to regulate the heterodimerization of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3). Moreover, recent findings have demonstrated that it is also involved in the clearance of collectins and the regulation of the immune system, something which is currently being studied as a biomarker and a therapeutic target in a number of cancers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Discrimination of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients from patients with other inflammatory or degenerative joint diseases or healthy individuals purely on the basis of genes differentially expressed in high-throughput data has proven very difficult. Thus, the present study sought to achieve such discrimination by employing a novel unbiased approach using rule-based classifiers. METHODS Three multi-center genome-wide transcriptomic data sets (Affymetrix HG-U133 A/B) from a total of 79 individuals, including 20 healthy controls (control group - CG), as well as 26 osteoarthritis (OA) and 33 RA patients, were used to infer rule-based classifiers to discriminate the disease groups. The rules were ranked with respect to Kiendl's statistical relevance index, and the resulting rule set was optimized by pruning. The rule sets were inferred separately from data of one of three centers and applied to the two remaining centers for validation. All rules from the optimized rule sets of all centers were used to analyze their biological relevance applying the software Pathway Studio. RESULTS The optimized rule sets for the three centers contained a total of 29, 20, and 8 rules (including 10, 8, and 4 rules for 'RA'), respectively. The mean sensitivity for the prediction of RA based on six center-to-center tests was 96% (range 90% to 100%), that for OA 86% (range 40% to 100%). The mean specificity for RA prediction was 94% (range 80% to 100%), that for OA 96% (range 83.3% to 100%). The average overall accuracy of the three different rule-based classifiers was 91% (range 80% to 100%). Unbiased analyses by Pathway Studio of the gene sets obtained by discrimination of RA from OA and CG with rule-based classifiers resulted in the identification of the pathogenetically and/or therapeutically relevant interferon-gamma and GM-CSF pathways. CONCLUSION First-time application of rule-based classifiers for the discrimination of RA resulted in high performance, with means for all assessment parameters close to or higher than 90%. In addition, this unbiased, new approach resulted in the identification not only of pathways known to be critical to RA, but also of novel molecules such as serine/threonine kinase 10.

Abstract
Global analysis of lymphoma genome integrity and transcriptomes tremendously advanced our understanding of their biology. Technological advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomics promise to complete the picture by allowing the global quantification of proteins and their post-translational modifications. Here we use N-glyco FASP, a recently developed mass spectrometric approach using lectin-enrichment, in conjunction with a super-SILAC approach to quantify N-linked glycoproteins in lymphoma cells. From patient-derived diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cell lines, we mapped 2383 glycosites on 1321 protein groups, which were highly enriched for cell membrane proteins. This N-glyco subproteome alone allowed the segregation of the ABC from the GCB subtypes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, which before gene expression studies had been considered one disease entity. Encouragingly, many of the glycopeptides driving the segregation belong to proteins previously characterized as segregators in a deep proteome study of these subtypes (S. J. Deeb et al. MCP 2012 PMID 22442255). This conforms to the high correlation that we observed between the expression level of the glycosites and their corresponding proteins. Detailed examination of glycosites and glycoprotein expression levels uncovered, among other interesting findings, enrichment of transcription factor binding motifs, including known NF-kappa-B related ones. Thus, enrichment of a class of post-translationally modified peptides can classify cancer types as well as reveal cancer specific mechanistic changes.

Abstract
CD205 is an endocytic receptor that is expressed at high levels by cortical thymic epithelial cells and by dendritic cell (DC) subsets, including the splenic CD8+ DC population that is responsible for cross-presentation of apoptotic cell-derived antigens. Antigen endocytosed via CD205 enters the MHC class I and MHC class II antigen presentation pathways and is subsequently presented to both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Despite the known role of CD205 in antigen uptake, the nature of the ligands bound by CD205 has not been determined, and most studies have relied on the use of monoclonal antibodies as surrogate ligands. To go beyond this approach, we created a panel of CD205-IgG fusion proteins spanning the extracellular portion of CD205 and used these to identify the physiological distribution of CD205 ligands. Our data demonstrate that two areas of the CD205 molecule, within C-type lectin-like domains (CTLDs) 3+4 and 9+10, recognise ligands expressed during apoptosis and necrosis of multiple cell types, and are additionally expressed by live cells of the dendritic cell line DC2.4. Thus, CD205 acts as a recognition receptor for dying cells, potentially providing an important pathway for the uptake of self-antigen in intrathymic and peripheral tolerance.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-4 receptor (IL-4R) alpha chain-dependent signalling by IL-4 and IL-13 promotes tumour growth and metastasis in mouse models of colorectal cancer. However, the role of IL-4R alpha-dependent signalling during the early, pre-malignant stages of colorectal carcinogenesis has not been investigated. Therefore, we investigated the effect of deletion of the IL-4R alpha gene on azoxymethane-induced colorectal aberrant crypt focus (ACF) multiplicity and size in Balb/c mice. IL-4R alpha(-/-) mice developed significantly more ACFs [median 8, inter-quartile range (IQR) 4-11.5; n = 9] than wild-type (WT) animals (median 4, IQR 1-6; n = 9; p = 0.04, Mann-Whitney U-test). There were significantly higher levels of IL-4 in serum from azoxymethane- and sham-treated IL-4R alpha(-/-) mice than WT animals, but no difference in serum IL-13 levels. In the absence of functional IL-4Rs, IL-13 can also signal via the IL-13R alpha2 receptor, leading to induction of transforming growth factor (TGF) beta, which has pro-tumourigenic activity at early stages of intestinal tumourigenesis. We found that mucosal TGFbeta mRNA levels and intestinal epithelial cell TGFbeta immunoreactivity were significantly higher in IL-4R alpha(-/-) mice than in WT animals. In summary, IL-4R alpha-dependent signalling has a protective, anti-neoplastic role during the post-initiation phase of azoxymethane-induced colorectal carcinogenesis in Balb/c mice. Our data should prompt thorough investigation of the role of IL-4R alpha-dependent signalling during human colorectal carcinogenesis, particularly as antagonism of IL-4R signalling represents a therapeutic strategy for asthma and other allergic diseases.

Abstract
We report a method for the expression in Escherichia coli of the isolated second type II fibronectin domain from MMP-2 (FNII-2). FNII-2 was expressed as a His(6)thioredoxin-tagged fusion protein in the thioredoxin reductase deficient E. coli strain BL21trxB(DE3), thus allowing disulfide-bond formation. When cultured at 37 degrees C, the expressed protein is located exclusively in the soluble fraction of the E. coli lysate. The fusion protein from the soluble fraction was purified and the His(6)thioredoxin-tag was cleaved by thrombin, resulting in a yield of approximately 40 mg/L. The recombinant FNII-2 was demonstrated to be functional by its ability to bind to gelatin-Sepharose, correct folding of the purified protein was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. This approach may generally be applicable to all FNII domains and is a significant simplification relative to existing techniques involving refolding from inclusion bodies or expression in the eukaryotic host, Pichia pastoris.

Abstract
CD205 (DEC-205) is a member of the macrophage mannose receptor family of C-type lectins. These molecules are known to mediate a wide variety of biological functions including the capture and internalization of ligands for subsequent processing and presentation by dendritic cells. Although its ligands await identification, the endocytic properties of CD205 make it an ideal target for those wishing to design vaccines and targeted immunotherapies. We present a detailed analysis of CD205 expression, distribution and endocytosis in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells undergoing lipopolysaccharide-induced maturation. Unlike other members of the macrophage mannose receptor family, CD205 was up-regulated upon dendritic cell maturation. This increase was a result of de novo synthesis as well as a redistribution of molecules from endocytic compartments to the cell surface. Furthermore, the endocytic capacity of CD205 was abrogated and small amounts of the recently identified CD205-DCL-1 fusion protein were detected in mature DC. Our results suggest that CD205 has two distinct functions -- one as an endocytic receptor on immature dendritic cells and a second as a non-endocytic molecule on mature dendritic cells -- and further highlight its potential as an immuno-modulatory target for vaccine and immunotherapy development.

Abstract
Infection of T cells by HIV-1 can occur through binding of virus to dendritic cell (DC)-specific ICAM-3 grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) on dendritic cells and transfer of virus to CD4+ T cells. Here we show that a subset of B cells in the blood and tonsils of normal donors expressed DC-SIGN, and that this increased after stimulation in vitro with interleukin 4 and CD40 ligand, with enhanced expression of activation and co-stimulatory molecules CD23, CD58, CD80, and CD86, and CD22. The activated B cells captured and internalized X4 and R5 tropic strains of HIV-1, and mediated trans infection of T cells. Pretreatment of the B cells with anti–DC-SIGN monoclonal antibody blocked trans infection of T cells by both strains of HIV-1. These results indicate that DC-SIGN serves as a portal on B cells for HIV-1 infection of T cells in trans. Transmission of HIV-1 from B cells to T cells through this DC-SIGN pathway could be important in the pathogenesis of HIV-1 infection. A cell surface molecule, DC-SIGN, is known to bind the AIDS virus, human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1), on dendritic cells. HIV-1 can then be transferred from these dendritic cells to CD4+ T cells, in which the virus replicates and kills the T cells. Here, Rappocciolo and colleagues present their findings that DC-SIGN serves a similar function on a subset of B cells of the peripheral blood and tonsils. Although B cells that express DC-SIGN do not replicate HIV-1, they serve as portals for transfer and enhanced HIV-1 infection of CD4+ T cells, the major site of virus replication in the host. This newly described pathway for HIV-1 infection of T cells via B cells could be important in the pathogenesis of the virus infection.

Abstract
DEC-205 (CD205) belongs to the macrophage mannose receptor family of C-type lectin endocytic receptors and behaves as an antigen uptake/processing receptor for dendritic cells (DC). To investigate DEC-205 tissue distribution in human leukocytes, we generated a series of anti-human DEC-205 monoclonal antibodies (MMRI-5, 6 and 7), which recognized epitopes within the C-type lectin-like domains 1 and 2, and the MMRI-7 immunoprecipitated a single approximately 200 kDa band, identified as DEC-205 by mass spectrometry. MMRI-7 and another DEC-205 mAb (MG38), which recognized the epitope within the DEC-205 cysteine-rich and fibronectin type II domain, were used to examine DEC-205 expression by human leukocytes. Unlike mouse DEC-205, which is reported to have predominant expression on DC, human DEC-205 was detected by flow cytometry at relatively high levels on myeloid blood DC and monocytes, at moderate levels on B lymphocytes and at low levels on NK cells, plasmacytoid blood DC and T lymphocytes. MMRI-7 F(ab')2 also labeled monocytes, B lymphocytes and NK cells similarly excluding reactivity due to non-specific binding of the mAb to FcgammaR. Tonsil mononuclear cells showed a similar distribution of DEC-205 staining on the leukocytes. DEC-205-specific semiquantitative immunoprecipitation/western blot and quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR analysis established that these leukocyte populations expressed DEC-205 protein and the cognate mRNA. Thus, human DEC-205 is expressed on more leukocyte populations than that were previously assumed based on mouse DEC-205 tissue localization studies. The broader DEC-205 tissue expression in man is relevant to clinical DC targeting strategies and DEC-205 functional studies.

Abstract
We used serial analysis of gene expression to catalog the transcriptome of murine mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) enriched from bone marrow by immunodepletion. Interrogation of this database, results of which are delineated in the appended databases, revealed that immunodepleted murine MSCs (IDmMSCs) highly express transcripts encoding connective tissue proteins and factors modulating T-cell proliferation, inflammation, and bone turnover. Categorizing the transcriptome based on gene ontologies revealed the cells also expressed mRNAs encoding proteins that regulate mesoderm development or that are characteristic of determined mesenchymal cell lineages, thereby reflecting both their stem cell nature and differentiation potential. Additionally, IDmMSCs also expressed transcripts encoding proteins regulating angiogenesis, cell motility and communication, hematopoiesis, immunity and defense as well as neural activities. Immunostaining and fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis revealed that expression of various regulatory proteins was restricted to distinct subpopulations of IDmMSCs. Moreover, in some cases, these proteins were absent or expressed at reduced levels in other murine MSC preparations or cell lines. Lastly, by comparing their transcriptome to that of 17 other murine cell types, we also identified 43 IDmMSC-specific transcripts, the nature of which reflects their varied functions in bone and marrow. Collectively, these results demonstrate that IDmMSC express a diverse repertoire of regulatory proteins, which likely accounts for their demonstrated efficacy in treating a wide variety of diseases. The restricted expression pattern of these proteins within populations suggests that the cellular composition of marrow stroma and its associated functions are more complex than previously envisioned.

Abstract
Genetic manipulation of dendritic cells (DCs) is important in the context of using either mature DCs to immunize patients or immature DCs to induce tolerance. Here, we describe a novel method of transfecting monocyte-derived human DCs using immunolipoplexes containing anti-CD71 or anti-CD205 monoclonal Abs. This results in up to 20% transfection, which can be increased to 20-30% if the immunolipoplexes are used to transfect CD14+ monocytes prior to differentiation into DCs. Transfected DCs can be substantially enriched using a drug-selection protocol during differentiation. Unlike adenoviral transduction, this nonviral transfection does not alter the expression of costimulatory molecules or the production of proinflammatory cytokines by DCs. In addition, DC function is unaltered, as assessed by mixed lymphocyte reactions. To test the feasibility of the immunolipoplexes and selection protocol for therapeutic intervention, we transfected DCs with the immunomodulatory enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO). Allogeneic T cells exposed to IDO-expressing DCs did not proliferate, secreted more IL-10 and less Th1 and Th2 cytokines, and had a higher amount of apoptosis than T cells incubated with control DCs. Furthermore the remaining T cells were rendered anergic to further stimulation by allogeneic DC. These immunolipoplexes, which can be easily and rapidly assembled, have potential for clinical immunization, in particular for tolerance induction protocols.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants of air, water and soil, and are produced by the incomplete combustion of organic materials. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has characterized PAHs as carcinogens. In this study, we investigated the effects of benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P), which is the most carcinogenic member of the PAHs, on Jurkat cell protein by proteomic analysis. Jurkat cells were treated with various concentrations of B(a)P (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 or 40 microM) for 24 or 48 h and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium and lactate dehydrogenase assays were carried out to determine cytotoxicity and a Comet assay was used to determinate genotoxicity. The cytotoxicity assays showed that 2.5 microM of B(a)P was the maximal concentration that did not cause any toxicity, but nevertheless, at this level B(a)P produced significant DNA damage in Jurkat cells at 48 h. Proteomic analysis using three different pI ranges and large two-dimensional gel electrophoresis showed 3427 protein spots. A total of 46 (13 up- and 33 down-regulated) proteins were identified as biomarkers of B(a)P and showed dose-dependent expressions in Jurkat T-cell line exposed to B(a)P. Of these, 27 protein spots were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry. Two functionally differentiated protein groups were found. The protein group involving apoptosis and tumor suppression were found to be up-regulated, and B(a)P down-regulated enzyme was involved in energy metabolism, DNA synthesis and in cell structure and motility.

Abstract
HACS1 is a Src homology 3 and sterile alpha motif domain–containing adaptor that is preferentially expressed in normal hematopoietic tissues and malignancies including myeloid leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Microarray data showed HACS1 expression is up-regulated in activated human B cells treated with interleukin (IL)-4, CD40L, and anti–immunoglobulin (Ig)M and clustered with genes involved in signaling, including TNF receptor–associated protein 1, signaling lymphocytic activation molecule, IL-6, and DEC205. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that HACS1 is up-regulated by IL-4, IL-13, anti-IgM, and anti-CD40 in human peripheral blood B cells. In murine spleen B cells, Hacs1 can also be up-regulated by lipopolysaccharide but not IL-13. Induction of Hacs1 by IL-4 is dependent on Stat6 signaling and can also be impaired by inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, protein kinase C, and nuclear factor κB. HACS1 associates with tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins after B cell activation and binds in vitro to the inhibitory molecule paired Ig-like receptor B. Overexpression of HACS1 in murine spleen B cells resulted in a down-regulation of the activation marker CD23 and enhancement of CD138 expression, IgM secretion, and Xbp-1 expression. Knock down of HACS1 in a human B lymphoma cell line by small interfering ribonucleic acid did not significantly change IL-4–stimulated B cell proliferation. Our study demonstrates that HACS1 is up-regulated by B cell activation signals and is a participant in B cell activation and differentiation.

Abstract
Previous studies have identified a 210 000-molecular weight molecule expressed at a high level on the surface of dendritic cells (DCs) in afferent lymph of cattle and evident on cells with the morphology of DCs in lymphoid tissues. Expression is either absent from other immune cells or is present at a lower level. The molecular weight and cellular distribution suggested that the molecule, called bovine WC6 antigen (workshop cluster), might be an orthologue of human DEC-205 (CD205). To establish whether this was the case, the open reading frame of bovine DEC-205 was amplified, by polymerase chain reaction, from thymic cDNA (accession no. AY264845). The cDNA sequence of bovine DEC-205 had 86% and 78% nucleic acid identity with human and mouse molecules, respectively. COS-7 cells transfected with a plasmid containing the cattle DEC-205 coding region expressed a molecule that stained with WC6-specific monoclonal antibody, showing that ruminant WC6 is an orthologue of DEC-205. Two-colour flow cytometry of mononuclear cells from afferent lymph draining cattle skin, and from blood, confirmed the high level of expression on large cells in lymph that were uniformly DC-LAMP positive and major histocompatibility complex class II positive. Within this DEC-205+ DC-LAMP+ population were subpopulations of cells that expressed the mannose receptor or SIRPalpha. The observations imply that DCs in afferent lymph are all DEC-205high, but not a uniform population of homogeneous mature DCs.

Abstract
DNA can cross the cell membrane by natural means, but the functional relevance of this phenomenon has not been fully elucidated. Here, we analyzed spontaneous transgenesis of human B cells using plasmid DNA coding for a functional immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain gene under the control of a B-cell-specific promoter. Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), reverse transcriptase-PCR, and flow cytometry in combination, spontaneous transgenesis was documented in Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines, Epstein-Barr virus-transformed cell lines, and peripheral blood B lymphocytes of the mature naïve phenotype (IgM(+)/IgD(+)/CD27(-)). By immunoelectron microscopy, the internalized DNA was seen in the lysosomes/late endosomes and in the cytosol proximal to the nucleus. Importantly, spontaneously transgenic B cells processed and presented to major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted T lymphocytes a peptide expressed in the transgenic product. This is the first demonstration that primary B lymphocytes possess a program for the spontaneous internalization of DNA, which in turn imparts the cell with new immunological functions. As spontaneous transgenesis is obtained using a nonviral vector, does not require prior cell activation, and is not associated with chromosomal integration, the findings reported here open new possibilities for genetic manipulations of mature naïve B lymphocytes for therapy and vaccination.

Abstract
We have characterized dendritic cell (DC)-associated lectin-1 (DCAL-1), a novel, type II, transmembrane, C-type lectin-like protein. DCAL-1 has restricted expression in hemopoietic cells, in particular, DCs and B cells, but T cells and monocytes do not express it. The DCAL-1 locus is within a cluster of C-type lectin-like loci on human chromosome 12p12-13 just 3' to the CD69 locus. The consensus sequence of the DCAL-1 gene was confirmed by RACE-PCR; however, based on sequence alignment with genomic DNA and with various human expressed sequence tags, we predict that DCAL-1 has two splice variants. C-type lectins share a common sequence motif of 14 invariable and 18 highly conserved aa residues known as the carbohydrate recognition domain. DCAL-1, however, is missing three of the cysteine residues required to form the standard carbohydrate recognition domain. DCAL-1 mRNA and protein expression are increased upon the differentiation of monocytes to CD1a(+) DCs. B cells also express high levels of DCAL-1 on their cell surface. Using a DCAL-1 fusion protein we identified a population of CD4(+) CD45RA(+) T cells that express DCAL-1 ligand. Coincubation with soluble DCAL-1 enhanced the proliferation of CD4(+) T cells in response to CD3 ligation and significantly increased IL-4 secretion. In contrast, coincubation with soluble DC-specific ICAM-3-grabbing nonintegrin (CD209) fusion protein as a control had no effect on CD4(+) T cell proliferation or IL-4 and IFN-gamma secretion. Therefore, the function of DCAL-1 on DCs and B cells may act as a T cell costimulatory molecule, which skews CD4(+) T cells toward a Th2 response by enhancing their secretion of IL-4.

Abstract
Endo180/urokinase plasminogen activator receptor-associated protein together with the mannose receptor, the phospholipase A(2) receptor, and DEC-205/MR6-gp200 comprise the four members of the mannose receptor family. These receptors have a unique structural composition due to the presence of multiple C-type lectin-like domains within a single polypeptide backbone. In addition, they are all constitutively internalized from the plasma membrane via clathrin-mediated endocytosis and recycled back to the cell surface. Endo180 is a multifunctional receptor displaying Ca(2+)-dependent lectin activity, collagen binding, and association with the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor, and it has a proposed role in extracellular matrix degradation and remodeling. Within their short cytoplasmic domains, all four receptors contain both a conserved tyrosine-based and dihydrophobic-based putative endocytosis motif. Unexpectedly, Endo180 was found to be distinct within the family in that the tyrosine-based motif is not required for efficient delivery to and recycling from early endosomes. By contrast, receptor internalization is completely dependent on the dihydrophobic motif and modulated by a conserved upstream acidic residue. Furthermore, unlike the mannose receptor, Endo180 does not function as a phagocytic receptor in vitro. These findings demonstrate that despite an overall structural similarity, members of this receptor family employ distinct trafficking mechanisms that may reflect important differences in their physiological functions.

Abstract
DEC-205, a putative antigen uptake receptor, belongs to a family of transmembrane C-type lectins. This molecule is known to be one of the most authentic markers for the lineage of dendritic cells. In the present study, we determined the primary structure, tissue distribution and cellular localization of hamster DEC-205. The multi-domain structure of mouse and human DEC-205 was completely conserved in hamster with the overall identity of approximately 80%. DEC-205 transcripts were detected in the thymus and bone marrow cells cultured in the presence of mouse granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor and interleukin-4 in which the DEC-205 expression was up-regulated in the course of cultures. Hamster DEC-205 was mainly detected on cell membrane and shown to mediate the uptake of flourescein isothiocyanate-conjugated ovalbumin. DEC-205 is a highly conserved molecule across the species suggesting its fundamental role in the immune system.

Abstract
The cloned guinea-pig Y2 neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, as well as the Y2 receptors natively expressed in rat forebrain, are distributed in two populations. A smaller population that is readily accessed by agonist peptides on the surface of intact cells constitutes less than 30% of Y2 receptors detected in particulates after cell homogenization. A much larger fraction of cell surface Y2 sites can be activated by sulfhydryl modifiers. A fast and large activation of these masked or cryptic sites could be obtained with membrane-permeating, vicinal cysteine-bridging arsenical phenylarsine oxide. A lower activation is effected by N-ethylmaleimide, an alkylator that slowly penetrates lipid bilayers. The restricted-access alkylator, 2-[(trimethylammonium)ethyl]methanethiosulfonate, was not effective in unmasking these sites. Some of the hidden cell surface Y2 sites could be activated by polyene filipin III through complexing of membrane cholesterol. The results are consistent with the presence of a large Y2 reserve in a compartment that can be accessed by alteration of sulfhydryl balance or fluidity of the cell membrane, and by treatments that affect the anchoring and aggregation of membrane proteins.

Abstract
The urokinase plasminogen activator receptor-associated protein/Endo180 (uPARAP/Endo180) is a newly discovered member of the macrophage mannose receptor family that was reported to interact with ligand-bound urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), matrix metalloprotease-13 (MMP-13), and collagen V on the cell surface. We have determined the sites of expression of this novel receptor during murine postimplantation development. uPARAP/Endo180 was expressed in all tissues undergoing primary ossification, including the developing bones of the viscerocranium and calvarium that ossify intramembranously, and developing long bones undergoing endochondral ossification. uPARAP/Endo180 mRNA was expressed by both immature osteoblasts and by mature osteocalcin-producing osteoblasts-osteocytes, and was coexpressed with MMP-13. Interestingly, osteoblasts also expressed uPAR. Besides bone-forming tissues, uPARAP/Endo180 expression was detected only in a mesenchymal condensation of the midbrain and in the developing lungs. The data suggest a function of this novel protease receptor in bone development, possibly mediated through its interactions with uPAR, MMP-13, or collagen V.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) are potent antigen-presenting cells and understanding their mechanisms of antigen uptake is important for loading DC with antigen for immunotherapy. The multilectin receptors, DEC-205 and macrophage mannose receptor (MMR), are potential antigen-uptake receptors; therefore, we examined their expression and FITC-dextran uptake by various human DC preparations. The RT-PCR analysis detected low levels of DEC-205 mRNA in immature blood DC, Langerhans cells (LC) and immature monocyte-derived DC (Mo-DC). Its mRNA expression increased markedly upon activation, indicating that DEC-205 is an activation-associated molecule. In Mo-DC, the expression of cell-surface DEC-205 increased markedly during maturation. In blood DC, however, the cell-surface expression of DEC-205 did not change during activation, suggesting the presence of a large intracellular pool of DEC-205 or post-transcriptional regulation. Immature Mo-DC expressed abundant MMR, but its expression diminished upon maturation. Blood DC and LC did not express detectable levels of the MMR. FITC-dextran uptake by both immature and activated blood DC was 30- to 70-fold less than that of LC, immature Mo-DC and macrophages. In contrast to immature Mo-DC, the FITC-dextran uptake by LC was not inhibited effectively by mannose, an inhibitor for MMR-mediated FITC-dextran uptake. Thus, unlike Mo-DC, blood DC and LC do not use the MMR for carbohydrate-conjugated antigen uptake and alternative receptors may yet be defined on these DC. Therefore, DEC-205 may have a different specificity as an antigen uptake receptor or contribute to an alternative DC function.

Abstract
Endo180 was previously characterized as a novel, cell type specific, recycling transmembrane glycoprotein. This manuscript describes the isolation of a full length human Endo180 cDNA clone which was shown to encode a fourth member of a family of proteins comprising the macrophage mannose receptor, the phospholipase A(2) receptor and the DEC-205/MR6 receptor. This receptor family is unusual in that they contain 8–10 C-type lectin carbohydrate recognition domains in a single polypeptide backbone, however, only the macrophage mannose receptor had been shown to function as a lectin. Sequence analysis of Endo180 reveals that the second carbohydrate recognition domain has retained key conserved amino acids found in other functional C-type lectins. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that this protein displays Ca(2+)-dependent binding to N-acetylglucosamine but not mannose affinity columns. In order to characterize the physiological function of Endo180, a series of biochemical and morphological studies were undertaken. Endo180 is found to be predominantly expressed in vivo and in vitro on fibroblasts, endothelial cells and macrophages, and the distribution and post-translational processing in these cells is consistent with Endo180 functioning to internalize glycosylated ligands from the extracellular milieu for release in an endosomal compartment.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are bone-marrow-derived leucocytes that are specialised antigen-presenting cells capable of stimulating a primary T-lymphocyte response to specific antigen. In this chapter we discuss the role DCs play in the innate response acting as a critical link with the adaptive response and the influence of the innate response on dendritic cells.

Abstract
Post-traumatic cystic cavitation, in which the size and severity of a CNS injury progress from a small area of direct trauma to a greatly enlarged secondary injury surrounded by glial scar tissue, is a poorly understood complication of damage to the brain and spinal cord. Using minimally invasive techniques to avoid primary physical injury, this study demonstrates in vivo that inflammatory processes alone initiate a cascade of secondary tissue damage, progressive cavitation, and glial scarring in the CNS. An in vitro model allowed us to test the hypothesis that specific molecules that stimulate macrophage inflammatory activation are an important step in initiating secondary neuropathology. Time-lapse video analyses of inflammation-induced cavitation in our in vitro model revealed that this process occurs primarily via a previously undescribed cellular mechanism involving dramatic astrocyte morphological changes and rapid migration. The physical process of cavitation leads to astrocyte abandonment of neuronal processes, neurite stretching, and secondary injury. The macrophage mannose receptor and the complement receptor type 3 beta2-integrin are implicated in the cascade that induces cavity and scar formation. We also demonstrate that anti-inflammatory agents modulating transcription via the nuclear hormone receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma may be therapeutic in preventing progressive cavitation by limiting inflammation and subsequent secondary damage after CNS injury.
