Contact with T cells modulates monocyte IL-10 production: role of T cell membrane TNF-alpha. by Parry, S, Sebbag, M, Feldmann, M, Brennan, F

“…Using neutralizing Abs, we show that T cell contact-mediated induction of monocyte IL-10 is partially dependent on endogenous TNF-alpha and IL-1. Furthermore, T cell membrane TNF-alpha was shown to be one of the contact-mediated signals regulating monocyte IL-10 production. …”

Protein crowding and lipid complexity influence the nanoscale dynamic organization of ion channels in cell membranes by Duncan, A, Reddy, T, Koldsø, H, Hélie, J, Fowler, P, Chavent, M, Sansom, M

“…<p>Cell membranes are crowded and complex environments. To investigate the effect of protein-lipid interactions on dynamic organization in mammalian cell membranes, we have performed coarsegrained molecular dynamics simulations containing &gt;100 copies of an inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channel which forms specific interactions with the regulatory lipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP₂). …”

Contrasting in vitro vs. in vivo effects of a cell membrane-specific CC-chemokine binding protein on macrophage chemotaxis. by McNeill, E, Iqbal, A, Patel, J, White, G, Regan-Komito, D, Greaves, D, Channon, K

“…Broad-spectrum blockade of the CC-CK family, using the vaccinia virus 35K protein, has been shown to cause a potent reduction of systemic inflammation in models of atherosclerosis, vein graft disease and arthritis. We have used a cell membrane-targeted form of 35K, Mem35K, to probe whether cell-associated blockade of chemokine response is sufficient to reduce cell recruitment in inflammation. …”
