Stem cell factor (SCF) binds the receptor tyrosine kinase c-Kit and is critical for normal hematopoiesis. Substitution of valine for aspartic acid 816 (D816V) constitutively actives human c-Kit, and this mutation is found in patients with mastocytosis, leukemia, and germ cell tumors. Immortalized murine progenitor cells (MIHCs) transduced with wild-type c-Kit proliferate in response to SCF, whe...
Stem cell factor (SCF) triggers cell growth by binding to cell surface c-kit receptors. Soluble forms of several cytokine receptors have been described and may play a role in the modulation of cytokine activity in vivo. For these reasons, we investigated whether human hematopoietic cells produce soluble c-kit receptors. The human leukemia cell lines OCIM1 and MO7e display approximately 80,000 a...
Expression of the tyrosine kinase receptor, c-KIT, progressively decreases during local tumor growth and invasion of human melanomas. We have previously shown that enforced c-KIT expression in highly metastatic cells inhibited tumor growth and metastasis in nude mice. Furthermore, the ligand for c-KIT, SCF, induces apoptosis in human melanoma cells expressing c-KIT under both in vitro and in vi...
One of the lingering controversies in the field of cardiac regenerative medicine has been around the origin of c-kit cardiac stem cells in the heart and their contribution toward cardiac homeostasis. A recent study reports that a subpopulation of c-kit cardiac progenitors emerges from the cardiac neural crest (CNC) with the capacity to give rise to cardiomyocytes. Contribution of CNC-derived c-...
The c-kit gene is expressed in hematopoietic stem cells and lineage progenitor cells but is downregulated during cell development in most lineages, except for mast cells. In mast cells, high expression of c-kit is maintained during development, and c-Kit signaling is essential for mast cell development. To analyze the mechanisms by which c-kit gene expression are regulated in mast cells, we exa...
BACKGROUND Cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) have been proven suitable for stem cell therapy after myocardial infarction, especially c-kit(+)CPCs. CPCs marker c-kit and its ligand, the stem cell factor (SCF), are linked as c-kit/SCF axis, which is associated with the functions of proliferation and differentiation. In our previous study, we found that stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) could ...
The receptor tyrosine kinase c-Kit plays an integral role in maintaining β-cell mass and function. Although c-Kit receptor signaling promotes angiogenesis in multiple cell types, its role in islet vasculature is unknown. This study examines the effects of c-Kit-mediated vascular endothelial growth factor isoform A (VEGF-A) and islet vascularization on β-cell function and survival using in vitro...
The receptor tyrosine kinase c-Kit plays an integral role in maintaining b-cell mass and function. Although c-Kit receptor signaling promotes angiogenesis in multiple cell types, its role in islet vasculature is unknown. This study examines the effects of c-Kit–mediated vascular endothelial growth factor isoform A (VEGF-A) and islet vascularization on b-cell function and survival using in vitro...
The thymus in mice lacking both the receptor tyrosine kinase c-kit and the common cytokine receptor gamma chain (gamma(c)) is alymphoid because these receptors provide essential signals at the earliest stages of thymocyte development. The signals transduced by these receptors potentially regulate proliferation, survival, or differentiation, but the contribution of each receptor to distinct intr...
