Journal ArticleDOI
GLUT1 glucose transporter expression in colorectal carcinoma: a marker for poor prognosis.
Richard S. Haber,Allison Rathan,Kenneth R. Weiser,Alla Pritsker,Steven H. Itzkowitz,Carol A. Bodian,Gary Slater,Anthony Weiss,David Burstein +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that GLUT1 glucose transporter expression is increased in colorectal carcinoma, and that the degree of expression might have prognostic significance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The C-type lectin SIGN-R1 mediates uptake of the capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae in the marginal zone of mouse spleen
Young-Sun Kang,Jae Y. Kim,Sandra A. Bruening,Maggi Pack,Anna Charalambous,Alla Pritsker,Thomas M. Moran,Jutta M. Loeffler,Ralph M. Steinman,Chae Gyu Park +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that encapsulated Streptococcus pneumoniae are rapidly cleared by these macrophages from the bloodstream, and that capture also takes place when different cell lines express SIGN-R1 after transfection.
Dendritic Cell-Specific Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 3-Grabbing Nonintegrin/CD209 Is Abundant on Macrophages in the Normal Human Lymph Node and Is Not Required for Dendritic Cell Stimulation of the Mixed Leukocyte Reaction
Angela Granelli-Piperno,Alla Pritsker,Ralph M. Steinman,Thomas M. Moran,Vincent Piguet,Christine Trumpfheller,Chae Gyu Park,Jean-François Arrighi,Irina Shimeliovich,Maggi Pack +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the C-type lectin dendritic cell-specific ICAM 3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN)/CD209 efficiently binds several pathogens, including HIV-1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dendritic Cell-Specific Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 3-Grabbing Nonintegrin/CD209 Is Abundant on Macrophages in the Normal Human Lymph Node and Is Not Required for Dendritic Cell Stimulation of the Mixed Leukocyte Reaction
Angela Granelli-Piperno,Alla Pritsker,Maggi Pack,Irina Shimeliovich,Jean-François Arrighi,Chae Gyu Park,Christine Trumpfheller,Vincent Piguet,Thomas M. Moran,Ralph M. Steinman +9 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that DC-SIGN has the potential to contribute to macrophage function in normal human lymph node, and that DCs do not requireDC-SIGN to transmit HIV or to initiate T cell responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glucocorticoid-Induced Insulin Resistance: Dexamethasone Inhibits the Activation of Glucose Transport in Rat Skeletal Muscle by Both Insulin- and Non-Insulin-Related Stimuli
TL;DR: Dex treatment reduces basal glucose transport and decreases the maximal response of skeletal muscle glucose transport to insulin, the related hormone IGF-I, and the non-insulin-related stimulus hypoxia, support the hypothesis that glucocorticoids may also act by inhibiting the glucose transport system, per se.
