Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoscale membrane architecture of healthy and pathological red blood cells.
Andra-Cristina Dumitru,Mégane A. Poncin,Louise Conrard,Yves F. Dufrêne,Donatienne Tyteca,David Alsteens +5 more
TL;DR: Atomic force microscopy multiparametric imaging is used to probe how cellular organization influences nanoscale and global mechanical properties of cells in both physiological and pathological conditions and finds that red blood cells from patients with hereditary spherocytosis are stiffer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific Interactions Measured by AFM on Living Cells between Peroxiredoxin-5 and TLR4: Relevance for Mechanisms of Innate Immunity
Bernard Knoops,Sarah Becker,Mégane A. Poncin,Julien Glibert,Sylvie Derclaye,André Clippe,David Alsteens +6 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, this study provides insights into the role of extracellular PRDX5 in innate immunity by using force-distance curve-based atomic force microscopy to investigate the molecular mechanisms by whichextracellular humanPRDX5 can activate a proinflammatory response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reovirus directly engages integrin to recruit clathrin for entry into host cells.
Melanie Koehler,Simon J. L. Petitjean,Jinsung Yang,Pavithra Aravamudhan,Pavithra Aravamudhan,Xayathed Somoulay,Xayathed Somoulay,Cristina Lo Giudice,Mégane A. Poncin,Andra C. Dumitru,Terence S. Dermody,Terence S. Dermody,David Alsteens +12 more
TL;DR: Koehler et al. as discussed by the authors used single-virus force spectroscopy and confocal microscopy to discover a direct interaction between reovirus and β1 integrins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of the Redox State of Human Peroxiredoxin-5 on Its TLR4-Activating DAMP Function
Mégane A. Poncin,Pierre Van Meerbeeck,Joshua D. Simpson,André Clippe,François Tyckaert,Fabrice Bouillenne,Hervé Degand,André Matagne,Pierre Morsomme,Bernard Knoops,David Alsteens +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of the cysteine redox state of human peroxiredoxin-5 (PRDX5) residues in the TLR4-dependent proinflammatory activity of the protein was investigated.
