RBP-J and ITAM crosstalk
Osteoclasts, multinucleated giant cells derived from the monocyte/macrophage lineage, are the exclusive specialized bone-resorbing cells that are indispensable for skeletal development, bone remodeling and repair and mineral homeostasis. Increased osteoclastogenesis leads to excessive bone resorption in osteoporosis and in inflammatory diseases with bone destruction, such as rheumatoid arthriti...
متن کاملEffect of retinoic acid and apo-RBP on serum retinol concentration in acute renal failure.
We recently demonstrated a rapid up-regulation of serum retinol-retinol binding protein-transthyretin concentration in rats with short-term acute renal failure. We examine the effect of retinoic acid and apo-retinol binding protein (apo-RBP) on the up-regulation of serum retinol in renal failure. Injection of retinoic acid (10 micrograms) into rats with acute renal failure or sham-operated rats...
متن کاملUse of free and transthyretin-bound retinol-binding protein in serum as tests of vitamin A status in humans: effect of high creatinine concentrations in serum.
We measured immunologically active (apo + holo) retinol-binding protein (RBP), vitamin A-carrying (holo) free RBP, and transthyretin-bound (TTR) holo-RBP in serum from 34 retrospective cases of fluctuating acute renal failure. All subjects had high serum creatinine concentrations caused by renal failure. Apo + holo, holo-TTR-RBP, and (especially) holo-free RBP all correlated poorly but signific...
متن کاملVitamin A transport in chicken plasma: isolation and characterization of retinol-binding protein (RBP), prealbumin (PA), and RBP--PA complex.
Vitamin A-transporting protein in chicken plasma was purified by column chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex and Sephadex G-100; the protein formed a complex of retinol-binding protein (RBP) with prealbumin (PA). The molecular weight of the 1:1 molar complex was estimated to be 76,000 by gel filtration, and the sedimentation coefficient (S20,W) was found to be 5.2 S. RBP and PA were dissociated from...
متن کاملMuscle expression of human retinol-binding protein (RBP). Suppression of the visual defect of RBP knockout mice.
Mice lacking retinol-binding protein (RBP) have low circulating retinol levels. They have severe visual defects due to a low content of retinol or retinyl esters in the eye. A transgenic mouse strain that expresses human RBP under the control of the muscle creatine kinase promoter in the null background was generated. The exogenous protein bound retinol and transthyretin in the circulation and ...
