The Cytokine Midkine and Its Receptor RPTPζ Regulate B Cell Survival in a Pathway Induced by CD74

TL;DR: A novel biological mechanism essential for survival and homeostasis of normal peripheral mature B cells and chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells, regulated by the heparin-binding cytokine, midkine (MK), and its proteoglycan receptor, the receptor-type tyrosine phosphatase ζ (RPTPζ).
Journal ArticleDOI

c-Met and Its Ligand Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Scatter Factor Regulate Mature B Cell Survival in a Pathway Induced by CD74

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that c-Met activation by HGF leads to a survival cascade, whereas its blockade results in induction of mature B cell death, resulting in the control of the humoral immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI

A role for the B‐cell CD74/macrophage migration inhibitory factor pathway in the immunomodulation of systemic lupus erythematosus by a therapeutic tolerogenic peptide

TL;DR: It is reported here that B lymphocytes from SLE‐afflicted mice express relatively elevated levels of CD74, compared with B cells from healthy mice, and the results suggest that the CD74/MIF pathway plays an important role in lupus pathology.
