Abstract
Rotator cuff tendon (RCT) disease results from multifactorial mechanisms, in which inflammation plays a key role. Pro-inflammatory cytokines and tendon stem cell/progenitor cells (TSPCs) have been shown to participate in the inflammatory response. However, the underlying molecular mechanism is still not clear. In this study, flow cytometry analyses of different subpopulations of RCT-derived TSPCs demonstrate that after three days of administration, TNFα alone or in combination with IFNγ significantly decreases the percentage of CD146+CD49d+ and CD146+CD49f+ but not CD146+CD109+ TSPCs populations. In parallel, the same pro-inflammatory cytokines upregulate the expression of CD200 in the CD146+ TSPCs population. Additionally, the TNFα/IFNγ combination modulates the protein expression of STAT1, STAT3, and MMP9, but not fibromodulin. At the gene level, IRF1, CAAT (CAAT/EBPbeta), and DOK2 but not NF-κb, TGRF2 (TGFBR2), and RAS-GAP are modulated. In conclusion, although our study has several important limitations, the results highlight a new potential role of CD200 in regulating inflammation during tendon injuries. In addition, the genes analyzed here might be new potential players in the inflammatory response of TSPCs.

Abstract
Cancer is a complex, multifactorial disease that modern medicine ultimately aims to overcome. Downstream of tyrosine kinase 2 (DOK2) is a well-known tumor suppressor gene, and a member of the downstream protein DOK family of tyrosine kinases. Through a search of original literature indexed in PubMed and other databases, the present review aims to extricate the mechanisms by which DOK2 acts on cancer, thereby identifying more reliable and effective therapeutic targets to promote enhanced methods of cancer prevention and treatment. The review focuses on the role of DOK2 in multiple tumor types in the lungs, intestines, liver, and breast. Additionally, we discuss the potential mechanisms of action of DOK2 and the downstream consequences via the Ras/MPAK/ERK or PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways.

Abstract
Signal-transducing adaptor protein (STAP)-2 is an adaptor molecule involved in regulation of several intracellular signaling events in immune cells. STAP-2 contains a pleckstrin homology domain at the N-terminus, an src homology domain in the central portion and a proline-rich region at the C-terminus. STAP-2 also has a YXXQ motif, which is a potential signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3-binding site. STAP-2 influences the STAT3 and STAT5 activity, integrin-mediated T cell adhesion, chemokine-induced T cell migration, Fas-mediated T cell apoptosis, Toll-like receptor-mediated macrophage functions, macrophage colony-stimulating factor-induced macrophage activation, and the high-affinity immunoglobulin E receptor-mediated mast cell activation. This article reviews the current understanding of roles of the STAP-2 during immune and/or inflammatory responses, and discusses possible therapeutic applications of targeting STAP-2 proteins in immune-related disorders.

Abstract
Sepsis infects more than 48.9 million people world-wide, with 19.7 million deaths. Cytokine storm plays a significant role in sepsis, along with severe COVID-19. TLR signaling pathways plays a crucial role in generating the cytokine storm. Endogenous negative regulators of TLR signaling are crucial to regulate cytokine storm.
Cytokine storm generates during various systemic acute infections, including sepsis and current pandemic called COVID-19 (severe) causing devastating inflammatory conditions, which include multi-organ failure or multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and death of the patient. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are one of the major pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) expressed by immune cells as well as non-immune cells, including neurons, which play a crucial role in generating cytokine storm. They recognize microbial-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs, expressed by pathogens) and damage or death-associate molecular patterns (DAMPs; released and/expressed by damaged/killed host cells). Upon recognition of MAMPs and DAMPs, TLRs activate downstream signaling pathways releasing several pro-inflammatory mediators [cytokines, chemokines, interferons, and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS or RNS)], which cause acute inflammation meant to control the pathogen and repair the damage. Induction of an exaggerated response due to genetic makeup of the host and/or persistence of the pathogen due to its evasion mechanisms may lead to severe systemic inflammatory condition called sepsis in response to the generation of cytokine storm and organ dysfunction. The activation of TLR-induced inflammatory response is hardwired to the induction of several negative feedback mechanisms that come into play to conclude the response and maintain immune homeostasis. This state-of-the-art review describes the importance of TLR signaling in the onset of the sepsis-associated cytokine storm and discusses various host-derived endogenous negative regulators of TLR signaling pathways. The subject is very important as there is a vast array of genes and processes implicated in these negative feedback mechanisms. These molecules and mechanisms can be targeted for developing novel therapeutic drugs for cytokine storm-associated diseases, including sepsis, severe COVID-19, and other inflammatory diseases, where TLR-signaling plays a significant role.

Abstract
Recent studies have revealed that tissue macrophages are derived from yolk sac precursors or fetal liver monocytes, in addition to bone marrow monocytes. The relative contribution of these cells to the tissue macrophage pool is not fully understood, but embryo-derived cells are supposed to be more important because of their capacity to self-renew. Here, we show the presence of adult bone marrow-derived macrophages that retain self-renewing capacity. The self-renewing macrophages were readily obtained by long-term culture of mouse bone marrow cells with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), a key cytokine for macrophage development. They were non-tumorigenic and proliferated in the presence of M-CSF in unlimited numbers. Despite several differences from non-proliferating macrophages, they retained many features of cells of the monocytic lineage, including the differentiation into dendritic cells or osteoclasts. Among the transcription factors involved in the self-renewal of embryonic stem cells, Krüppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) was strongly upregulated upon M-CSF stimulation in the self-renewing macrophages, which was accompanied by the downregulation of MafB, a transcription factor that suppresses KLF2 expression. Indeed, knockdown of KLF2 led to cell cycle arrest and diminished cell proliferation in the self-renewing macrophages. Our new cell model would be useful to unravel differences in phenotype, function, and molecular mechanism of proliferation among self-renewing macrophages with different origins.

Abstract
Peritoneal fibrosis (PF) represents a well-recognized complication associated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis therapy, characterized by a reversible epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) at the early stage. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects linked with the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) AK089579 on the EMT of peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMCs) as well as the associated regulatory mechanisms of AK089579 downstream of tyrosine kinase 2 (DOK2) and microRNA-296-3p (miR-296-3p). Enrichment analysis, gene intersection association analysis, and a gene-gene intersection network were initially constructed to ascertain whether AK089579 regulated the expression of DOK2 through the mediation of miR-296-3p via the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway in PF. After the PF mouse model had been constructed, the expression of the proteins associated with the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway and EMT and PMC migration and invasion were all determined accordingly. Based on the obtained results, AK089579 was determined to function as a competing endogenous RNA for miR-296-3p while acting to up-regulate the expression of DOK2, which is a target gene of miR-296-3p. AK089579 was detected to confer an inhibitory effect on the activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, whereby the migration and invasion of PMCs among the mice models were suppressed. Meanwhile, up-regulated miR-296-3p and down-regulated DOK2 produced contrasting effects when compared with the aforementioned findings. Treatment with wp10066, a JAK2/STAS3 signaling pathway inhibitor, was shown to reverse the effects exerted by up-regulated miR-296-3p. Taken together, the central findings of the current study present evidence highlighting the capability of the lncRNA AK089579 to bind competitively to miR-296-3p and indirectly enhance the expression of DOK2, which in turn suppresses the activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, whereby the EMT, migration, and invasion of PMCs was inhibited in PF.-Zhang, X. W., Wang, L., Ding, H. Long noncoding RNA AK089579 inhibits epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of peritoneal mesothelial cells by competitively binding to microRNA-296-3p via DOK2 in peritoneal fibrosis.

Abstract
The in vivo imaging of mice makes it possible to analyze disease
progress non-invasively through reporter gene expression. As the removal of hair improves
the accuracy of in vivo imaging, gene-modified mice with a reporter gene
are often crossed with Hos:HR-1 mutant mice homozygous for the spontaneous
Hrhr mutation that exhibit a hair loss phenotype. However,
it is time consuming to produce mice carrying both the reporter gene and mutant
Hrhr gene by mating. In addition, there is a risk that
genetic background of the gene-modified mice would be altered by mating. To resolve these
issues, we established a simple method to generate hairless mice maintaining the original
genetic background by CRISPR technology. First, we constructed the pX330
vector, which targets exon 3 of Hr. This DNA vector (5
ng/µl) was microinjected into the pronuclei of C57BL/6J mice. Induced
Hr gene mutations were found in many founders (76.1%) and these
mutations were heritable. Next, we performed in vivo imaging using these
gene-modified hairless mice. As expected, luminescent objects in their body were detected
by in vivo imaging. This study clearly showed that hairless mice could be
simply generated by the CRISPR/Cas9 system, and this method may be useful for in
vivo imaging studies with various gene-modified mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spasticity and allodynia are major sequelae that affect the quality of life and daily activities of spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. Although rehabilitation ameliorates spasticity and allodynia, the molecular mechanisms involved in these processes remain elusive. OBJECTIVE To investigate the molecular mechanisms by which rehabilitation ameliorates spasticity and allodynia after SCI in rats. METHODS The expression levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and potassium-chloride cotransporter-2 (KCC2), as well as the localization of KCC2, were examined in the lumbar enlargements of untrained and treadmill-trained thoracic SCI model rats. Spasticity and allodynia were determined via behavioral and electrophysiological analyses. The effects of BDNF on spasticity, allodynia, and KCC2 activation were determined by inhibition of BDNF signaling via intrathecal administration of TrkB-IgG. The effects of SCI and training on the expression levels of functional phospholipase C-γ in the lumbar enlargement were also examined. RESULTS Treadmill training after SCI upregulated endogenous BDNF expression and posttranslational modification of KCC2 in the lumbar enlargement significantly. There were also significant correlations between increased KCC2 expression and ameliorated spasticity and allodynia. Administration of TrkB-IgG abrogated the training-induced upregulation of KCC2 and beneficial effects on spasticity and allodynia. The expression level of functional phospholipase C-γ was reduced significantly after SCI, which may have contributed to the change in the function of BDNF, whereby it did not trigger short-term downregulation or induce long-term upregulation of KCC2 expression secondary to training. CONCLUSIONS BDNF-mediated restoration of KCC2 expression underlies the suppression of spasticity and allodynia caused by rehabilitation.

Abstract
HRS/J Hairless mice have been investigated as an experimental model in cutaneous leishmaniasis induced by Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis. The animals were inoculated with 10(6) promastigotes into the right hind footpad and the course of infection was followed up for 30, 60 and 90 days. BALB/c mice were infected and used as control. Hairless mice were susceptible to L. (L.) amazonensis infection and a progressive increase in number of parasites and footpad thickness was detected over time. Signals of dissemination and visceralization were confirmed by the presence of parasite in the draining lymph node of lesion and spleen, at different times post infection. IL-10 gene expression evaluated by RT-PCR was significantly higher in Hairless mice at 60 days post infection, corroborating the pattern of susceptibility. These results point this inbred strain as a promising susceptible model for the study of experimental infection induced by L. (L.) amazonensis. This model would allow the use of other infection sites that minimize secondary interference and best monitoring the skin lesion, as in the case of in vivo assays of potential drugs for LT.

Abstract
M-CSF promotes the differentiation and survival of macrophages, and preferentially induces anti-inflammatory M2, rather than proinflammatory M1 macrophages. Recently, another cytokine, IL-32, was also shown to promote macrophage differentiation. In this article, we provide the first evidence, to our knowledge, that M-CSF has both additive and inhibitory effects on the macrophage-related activities of IL-32. When added to M-CSF-derived macrophages, M-CSF and IL-32 promoted macrophage survival, which was further enhanced by their combination. However, they had different effects on HIV-1 replication; that is, it was stimulated by M-CSF and inhibited by IL-32. Interestingly, the anti-HIV-1 activity of IL-32 was counteracted by M-CSF. Such inhibitory effect of M-CSF was not observed with IL-32-induced M1-like features including high cytokine/chemokine production and strong expression of the costimulatory molecule CD80. However, IL-32-treated macrophages unexpectedly showed also M2-like features including increased phagocytic activity, and high expression of CD14 and the scavenger receptor CD163, and the expression of CD14 and CD163 was further upregulated by cotreatment with M-CSF. The findings of this study regarding the unique functional interplay between M-CSF and IL-32 increase our understanding of the mechanisms that regulate the survival and M1/M2 ratio of macrophages, as well as HIV-1 replication in macrophages.

Abstract
The interaction between HIV-1 Nef and the Src kinase Hck in macrophages has been shown to accelerate the progression to AIDS. We previously showed that Nef disturbed the N-glycosylation/trafficking of Fms, a cytokine receptor essential for maintaining macrophages in an anti-inflammatory state, in an Hck-dependent manner. Here, we show the underlying molecular mechanism of this effect. Using various Hck isoforms and their mutants and Golgi-targeting Hck mutants, we confirmed that Hck activation at the Golgi causes the Nef-induced Fms N-glycosylation defect. Importantly, we found that both the co-expression of Nef and Hck and the expression of a Golgi-targeted active Hck mutant caused alterations in the distribution of GM130, a Golgi protein that was shown to be required for efficient protein glycosylation. Moreover, the activation of Hck at the Golgi caused strong serine phosphorylation of the GM130-interacting Golgi structural protein GRASP65, which is known to induce Golgi cisternal unstacking. Using pharmacological inhibitors, we also found that the activation of Hck at the Golgi followed by the activation of the MAP kinase ERK-GRASP65 cascade is involved in the Fms N-glycosylation defect. These results suggest that Nef perturbs the structure and signaling of the Golgi by activating Hck at the Golgi, and thereby, induces the N-glycosylation/trafficking defect of Fms, which is in line with the idea that Src family kinases are crucial Golgi regulators.

Abstract
HIV-1 proteins, including Tat, gp120, and Nef, activate macrophages (MΦ), which is consistent with the fact that HIV-1 infection is characterized by sustained immune activation. Meanwhile, MΦ are functionally classified into two types: proinflammatory M1-MΦ and anti-inflammatory M2-MΦ. We show that HIV-1 proteins, particularly Nef, preferentially activate M2-MΦ. Extracellular Tat, gp120, and Nef activated MAPK and NF-κB pathways in human peripheral blood monocyte-derived MΦ. However, the activation was marked in M-CSF-derived M2-MΦ but not GM-CSF-derived M1-MΦ. Nef was the most potent activator, and its signaling activation was comparable to that by TNF-α. Indeed, Nef was internalized more rapidly by M2-MΦ than by M1-MΦ. The myristoylation and proline-rich motif of Nef were responsible for the observed signaling activation. Consistent with the activation of MAPK/NF-κB pathways, Nef stimulated the production of a number of proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines by M2-MΦ. However, Nef reduced the expression of CD163 and phagocytosis, the characteristic markers of M2-MΦ, indicating that Nef drives an M2-like to M1-like phenotypic shift. Because the differentiation of most tissue MΦ depends on M-CSF and its receptor, which is the essential axis for the anti-inflammatory M2-MΦ phenotype, the current study reveals an efficient mechanism by which HIV-1 proteins, such as Nef, induce the proinflammatory MΦ.

Abstract
In attempt to discover novel aberrantly hypermethylated genes with putative tumor suppressor function in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), we applied expression profiling following pharmacologic inhibition of DNA methylation in EOC cell lines. Among the genes identified, one of particular interest was DOK1, or downstream of tyrosine kinase 1, previously recognized as a candidate tumor suppressor gene (TSG) for leukemia and other human malignancies. Using bisulfite sequencing, we determined that a 5'-non-coding DNA region (located at nt -1158 to -850, upstream of the DOK1 translation start codon) was extensively hypermethylated in primary serous EOC tumors compared with normal ovarian specimens; however, this hypermethylation was not associated with DOK1 suppression. On the contrary, DOK1 was found to be strongly overexpressed in serous EOC tumors as compared to normal tissue and importantly, DOK1 overexpression significantly correlated with improved progression-free survival (PFS) values of serous EOC patients. Ectopic modulation of DOK1 expression in EOC cells and consecutive functional analyses pointed toward association of DOK1 expression with increased EOC cell migration and proliferation, and better sensitivity to cisplatin treatment. Gene expression profiling and consecutive network and pathway analyses were also confirmative for DOK1 association with EOC cell migration and proliferation. These analyses were also indicative for DOK1 protective role in EOC tumorigenesis, linked to DOK1-mediated induction of some tumor suppressor factors and its suppression of pro-metastasis genes. Taken together, our findings are suggestive for a possible tumor suppressor role of DOK1 in EOC; however its implication in enhanced EOC cell migration and proliferation restrain us to conclude that DOK1 represents a true TSG in EOC. Further studies are needed to more completely elucidate the functional implications of DOK1 and other members of the DOK gene family in ovarian tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Cellular transformation induced by oncogenic tyrosine kinases is a multistep process involving activation of growth-promoting signaling pathways and inactivation of suppressor molecules. Dok-1 is an adaptor protein that acts as a negative regulator of tyrosine kinase-initiated signaling and opposes oncogenic tyrosine kinase-mediated cell transformation. Findings that its loss facilitates transformation induced by oncogenic tyrosine kinases suggest that Dok-1 inactivation could constitute an intermediate step in oncogenesis driven by these oncoproteins. However, whether Dok-1 is subject to regulation by oncogenic tyrosine kinases remained unknown. In this study, we show that oncogenic tyrosine kinases, including p210(bcr-abl) and oncogenic forms of Src, downregulate Dok-1 by targeting it for degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. This process is dependent on the tyrosine kinase activity of the oncoproteins and is mediated primarily by lysine-dependent polyubiquitination of Dok-1. Importantly, restoration of Dok-1 levels strongly suppresses transformation of cells expressing oncogenic tyrosine kinases, and this suppression is more pronounced in the context of a Dok-1 mutant that is largely refractory to oncogenic tyrosine kinase-induced degradation. Our findings suggest that proteasome-mediated downregulation of Dok-1 is a key mechanism by which oncogenic tyrosine kinases overcome the inhibitory effect of Dok-1 on cellular transformation and tumor progression.

Abstract
Src-like adaptor protein (SLAP) is a hematopoietic adaptor containing Src homology (SH)3 and SH2 motifs and a unique carboxy terminus. Unlike c-Src, SLAP lacks a tyrosine kinase domain. We investigated the role of SLAP in osteoclast development and resorptive function. Employing SLAP-deficient mice, we find lack of the adaptor enhances in vitro proliferation of osteoclast precursors in the form of bone marrow macrophages (BMMs), without altering their survival. Furthermore, osteoclastogenic markers appear more rapidly in SLAP-/- BMMs exposed to RANK ligand (RANKL). The accelerated proliferation of M-CSF-treated, SLAP-deficient precursors is associated with enhanced ERK activation. SLAP's role as a mediator of M-CSF signaling, in osteoclastic cells, is buttressed by complexing of the adaptor protein and c-Fms in lipid rafts. Unlike c-Src, SLAP does not impact resorptive function of mature osteoclasts but induces their early apoptosis. Thus, SLAP negatively regulates differentiation of osteoclasts and proliferation of their precursors. Conversely, SLAP decreases osteoclast death by inhibiting activation of caspase 3. These counterbalancing events yield indistinguishable bones of WT and SLAP-/- mice which contain equal numbers of osteoclasts in basal and stimulated conditions.

Abstract
The mammalian Dok protein family has seven members (Dok-1-Dok-7). The Dok proteins share structural similarities characterized by the NH2-terminal pleckstrin homology and phosphotyrosine-binding domains followed by SH2 target motifs in the COOH-terminal moiety, indicating an adapter function. Indeed, Dok-1 was originally identified as a 62 kDa protein that binds with p120 rasGAP, a potent inhibitor of Ras, upon tyrosine phosphorylation by a variety of protein tyrosine kinases. Among the Dok family, only Dok-1, Dok-2, and Dok-3 are preferentially expressed in hematopoietic/immune cells. Dok-1 and its closest relative Dok-2 act as negative regulators of the Ras-Erk pathway downstream of many immunoreceptor-mediated signaling systems, and it is believed that recruitment of p120 rasGAP by Dok-1 and Dok-2 is critical to their negative regulation. By contrast, Dok-3 does not bind with p120 rasGAP. However, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that Dok-3 is a negative regulator of the activation of JNK and mobilization of Ca2+ in B-cell receptor-mediated signaling, where the interaction of Dok-3 with SHIP-1 and Grb2 appears to be important. Here, we review the physiological roles and underlying mechanisms of Dok family proteins.

Abstract
Genome-wide analyses of human lung adenocarcinoma have identified regions of consistent copy-number gain or loss, but in many cases the oncogenes and tumor suppressors presumed to reside in these loci remain to be determined. Here we identify the downstream of tyrosine kinase (Dok) family members Dok1, Dok2 and Dok3 as lung tumor suppressors. Single, double or triple compound loss of these genes in mice results in lung cancer, with penetrance and latency dependent on the number of lost Dok alleles. Cancer development is preceded by an aberrant expansion and signaling profile of alveolar type II cells and bronchioalveolar stem cells. In human lung adenocarcinoma, we identify DOK2 as a target of copy-number loss and mRNA downregulation and find that DOK2 suppresses lung cancer cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Given the genomic localization of DOK2, we propose it as an 8p21.3 haploinsufficient human lung tumor suppressor.

Abstract
HIV-1 Nef accelerates the progression to AIDS by binding with and activating a Src kinase Hck, but underlying molecular basis is not understood. We revealed that Nef disturbed N-glycosylation/trafficking of a cytokine receptor Fms in an Hck-dependent manner, a possible trigger to worsen uncontrolled immune system. Here, we provide direct evidence that dys-regulated activation of Hck pre-localized to the Golgi apparatus causes this Fms maturation arrest. A striking change in Hck induced by Nef other than activation was its skewed localization to the Golgi due to predominant Golgi-localization of Nef. Studies with different Nef alleles and their mutants showed a clear correlation among higher Nef-Hck affinity, stronger Hck activation, severe Golgi-localization of Hck and severe Fms maturation arrest. Studies with a newly discovered Nef-Hck binding blocker 2c more clearly showed that skewed Golgi-localization of active Hck was indeed the cause of Fms maturation arrest. 2c blocked Nef-induced skewed Golgi-localization of an active form of Hck (Hck-P2A) and Fms maturation arrest by Nef/Hck-P2A, but showed no inhibition on Hck-P2A kinase activity. Our finding establishes an intriguing link between the pathogenesis of Nef and a newly emerging concept that the Golgi-localized Src kinases regulate the Golgi function.

Abstract
It has been extensively documented that CD45 positively regulates T cell receptor-mediated signaling through the activation of Src-family kinases. The mechanism whereby CD45 negatively regulates the JAK/STAT pathway, however, has not been fully elucidated. Here we describe the mechanism by which CD45 negatively regulates the JAK/STAT pathway through the recruitment of the inhibitory molecule Downstream of Kinase 1 (DOK-1) in hematopoietic cells. We present evidences that CD45 recruits DOK-1 to associate with tyrosine-phosphorylated DOK-1, and that the DOK-1-Y296F mutant completely abrogates its interaction with CD45. Moreover, CD45 expression is required for DOK-1 targeting to the plasma membrane in response to anti-CD3 stimulation. Functional studies further showed that stable expression of DOK-1 in K562 cells markedly decreased both JAK-2 and STAT-3/5 phosphorylation following IL-3 and IFN-alpha stimulation. Likewise, stable expression of DOK-1 in Jurkat cells significantly decreased JAK-2 phosphorylation. Similarly, both IL-3 and IFN-alpha-induced JAK-2 phosphorylations were significantly increased in CD45 deficient Jurkat cells. Consistently, silencing of the DOK-1 gene resulted in rescue of MAP kinases and JAKs activities in CD45 positive Jurkat cells. Accordingly, CD45 recruits adaptor DOK-1 to the proximal plasma membrane to serve as a downstream effector, resulting in negative regulation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway.

Abstract
Lyn is an Src family kinase present in B lymphocytes and myeloid cells. In these cell types, Lyn establishes signaling thresholds by acting as both a positive and a negative modulator of a variety of signaling responses and effector functions. Lyn deficiency in mice results in the development of myeloproliferation and autoimmunity. The latter has been attributed to the hyper-reactivity of Lyn-deficient B cells due to the unique role of Lyn in downmodulating B-cell receptor activation, mainly through phosphorylation of inhibitory molecules and receptors. Myeloproliferation results, on the other hand, from the enhanced sensitivity of Lyn-deficient progenitors to a number of colony-stimulating factors (CSFs). The hyper-sensitivity to myeloid growth factors may also be secondary to poor inhibitory receptor phosphorylation, leading to impaired recruitment/activation of tyrosine phosphatases and reduced downmodulation of CSF signaling responses. Despite these observations, the overall role of Lyn in the modulation of myeloid cell effector functions is much less well understood, as often both positive and negative roles of this kinase have been reported. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge of the duplicitous nature of Lyn in the modulation of myeloid cell signaling and function.

Abstract
The innate immune responses of early vertebrates, such as bony fishes, play a central role in host defence against infectious diseases and one of the most important effector cells of innate immunity are macrophages. In order for macrophages to be effective in host defence they must be present at all times in the tissues of their host and importantly, the host must be capable of rapidly increasing macrophage numbers during times of need. Hematopoiesis is a process of formation and development of mature blood cells, including macrophages. Hematopoiesis is controlled by soluble factors known as cytokines, that influence changes in transcription factors within the target cells, resulting in cell fate changes and the final development of specific effector cells. The processes involved in macrophage development have been largely derived from mammalian model organisms. However, recent advancements have been made in the understanding of macrophage development in bony fish, a group of organisms that rely heavily on their innate immune defences. Our understanding of the growth factors involved in teleost macrophage development, as well as the receptors and regulatory mechanisms in place to control them has increased substantially. Furthermore, model organisms such as the zebrafish have emerged as important instruments in furthering our understanding of the transcriptional control of cell development in fish as well as in mammals. This review highlights the recent advancements in our understanding of teleost macrophage development. We focused on the growth factors identified to be important in the regulation of macrophage development from a progenitor cell into a functional macrophage and discuss the important transcription factors that have been identified to function in teleost hematopoiesis. We also describe the findings of in vivo studies that have reinforced observations made in vitro and have greatly improved the relevance and importance of using teleost fish as model organisms for studying developmental processes.

Abstract
Nef is a multifunctional pathogenetic protein of HIV-1, the interaction of which with Hck, a Src tyrosine kinase highly expressed in macrophages, has been shown to be responsible for the development of AIDS. However, how the Nef-Hck interaction leads to the functional aberration of macrophages is poorly understood. We recently showed that Nef markedly inhibited the activity of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), a primary cytokine for macrophages. Here, we show that the inhibitory effect of Nef is due to the Hck-dependent down-regulation of the cell surface expression of M-CSF receptor Fms. In the presence of Hck, Nef induced the accumulation of an immature under-N-glycosylated Fms at the Golgi, thereby down-regulating Fms. The activation of Hck by the direct interaction with Nef was indispensable for the down-regulation. Unexpectedly, the accumulation of the active Hck at the Golgi where Nef prelocalized was likely to be another critical determinant of the function of Nef, because the expression of the constitutive-active forms of Hck alone did not fully down-regulate Fms. These results suggest that Nef perturbs the intracellular maturation and the trafficking of nascent Fms, through a unique mechanism that required both the activation of Hck and the aberrant spatial regulation of the active Hck.

Abstract
M-CSF is a cytokine essential for both the proliferation and differentiation of monocytes/macrophages. In this study, we established a new M-CSF-mediated differentiation-inducing system, and examined how the level and duration of the activation of ERK preceded M-CSF-mediated differentiation. TF-1-fms human leukemia cells rapidly proliferated in response to M-CSF. However, in the presence of a phorbol ester, TPA, TF-1-fms cells definitely switched their responsiveness to M-CSF from proliferation to differentiation, as evidenced by a more drastic morphological change and the appearance of cells with a higher level of phagocytic activity. In TF-1-fms cells expressing HIV-1 Nef protein in a conditionally active-manner, both M-CSF-mediated proliferation and M-CSF/TPA-mediated differentiation were inhibited by the activation of Nef. The Nef-active cells showed perturbed patterns of ERK activation. Under the proliferation-inducing conditions (TPA-free), parental or Nef-inactive cells showed modest ERK activation following M-CSF stimulation, whereas Nef-active cells showed an earlier and transient ERK activation, despite a decrease in their proliferation rate. Under the differentiation-inducing conditions, parental or Nef-inactive cells showed increased and prolonged ERK activation following M-CSF stimulation, whereas Nef-active cells showed transient ERK activation. These results supported the idea that the increased and prolonged ERK activation led to M-CSF-mediated macrophage differentiation but not to proliferation.

Abstract
Signal-transducing adaptor protein-2 (STAP-2) is a recently identified adaptor protein as a c-Fms/M-CSF receptor-interacting protein and constitutively expressed in macrophages. Our previous studies also revealed that STAP-2 binds to MyD88 and IKK-alpha/beta, and modulates NF-kappaB signaling in macrophages. In the present study, we examined physiological roles of the interaction between STAP-2 and c-Fms in Raw 264.7 macrophage cells. Our immunoprecipitation has revealed that c-Fms directly interacts with the PH domain of STAP-2 independently on M-CSF-stimulation. Ectopic expression of STAP-2 markedly suppressed M-CSF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of c-Fms as well as activation of Akt and extracellular signal regulated kinase. In addition, Raw 264.7 cells over-expressing STAP-2 showed impaired migration in response to M-CSF and wound-healing process. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that STAP-2 directly binds to c-Fms and interferes with the PI3K signaling, which leads to macrophage motility, in Raw 264.7 cells.

Abstract
Dok adapter proteins have been primarily implicated in negative regulation of tyrosine kinase signaling, but Dok-4 has been reported to exert both inhibitory and stimulatory effects. We have identified a splice variant of Dok-4, Dok-4b, which contains a 39 aa insert within the its C-terminal region. The approximately 45kDa Dok-4b protein was detected in several human epithelial cell lines. Based on genomic sequences, Dok-4b was also predicted to exist in primates and possibly bovines, but not in rodents or other species. Compared to Dok-4, Dok-4b inhibited the tyrosine kinase-induced activation of both Erk and Elk-1 more strongly. Truncation of the C-terminal region of Dok-4 (Dok-4 DeltaCT) also enhanced the inhibitory activity of Dok-4, whereas expression of the isolated C-terminal domain enhanced Elk-1 activation, suggesting that the N-terminus and C-terminus of Dok-4 possess opposing inhibitory and stimulatory properties, respectively, the balance of which is altered by alternative splicing of Dok-4 to Dok-b.

Abstract
p62(DOK1) (DOK1) and p56(DOK2) (DOK2) are sequence homologs that act as docking proteins downstream of receptor or nonreceptor tyrosine kinases. Originally identified in chronic myelogenous leukemia cells as a highly phosphorylated substrate for the chimeric p210(bcr-abl) protein, DOK1 was suspected to play a role in leukemogenesis. However, p62(DOK1-/-) fibroblast knockout cells were found to have enhanced MAPK signaling and proliferation due to growth factors, suggesting negative regulatory capabilities for DOK1. The role of DOK1 and DOK2 in leukemogeneis thus is enigmatic. The data in this report show that both the DOK1 and the DOK2 adaptor proteins are constitutively expressed in the myelomonoblastic leukemia cell line, HL-60, and that expression of both proteins is induced by the chemotherapeutic differentiation causing agents, all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VD3). Ectopic expression of either protein enhances atRA- or VD3-induced growth arrest, differentiation, and G(0)/G(1) cell cycle arrest and results in increased ERK1/2 phosphorylation. DOK1 and DOK2 are similarly effective in these capabilities. The data provide evidence that DOK1 and DOK2 proteins have a similar role in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation and are positive regulators of the MAPK signaling pathway in this context.

Abstract
The Dok adaptor proteins play key regulatory roles in receptor and non-receptor kinase-initiated signaling pathways. Dok-1, the prototype member of this family, negatively regulates cell proliferation elicited by numerous growth factors, including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). However, how Dok-1 exerts its negative effect on mitogenesis has remained elusive. Using Dok-1 knockout cells and Dok-1 mutants deficient in binding to specific Dok-1-interacting proteins, we show that Dok-1 interferes with PDGF-stimulated c-myc induction and Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation by tethering different signaling components to the cell membrane. Specifically, Dok-1 attenuates PDGF-elicited c-myc induction by recruiting Csk to active Src kinases, whereupon their activities and consequent c-myc induction are diminished. On the other hand, Dok-1 negatively regulates PDGF-induced MAPK activation by acting on Ras-GAP and at least one other Dok-1-interacting protein. Importantly, we demonstrate that Dok-1's actions on both of these signaling pathways contribute to its inhibitory effect on mitogenesis. Our data suggest a mechanistic basis for the inhibitory effect of Dok-1 on growth factor-induced mitogenesis and its role as a tumor suppressor.

Abstract
The development of macrophages from myeloid progenitor cells is primarily controlled by the growth factor colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) and its cognate receptor, a transmembrane tyrosine kinase encoded by the c-Fms proto-oncogene. The CSF-1 receptor exerts its biological effects on cells via a range of signaling proteins including Erk1/2 and Akt. Here we have investigated the potential involvement of the Src-like adapter protein (SLAP-2) in signaling by the CSF-1 receptor in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages. RT-PCR analysis revealed constitutive expression of the SLAP-2 gene in bone marrow macrophages. Surprisingly, co-immunoprecipitation and GST binding experiments demonstrated that the CSF-1 receptor could bind to SLAP-2 in a ligand-independent manner. Furthermore, the binding of SLAP-2 to the CSF-1 receptor involved multiple domains of SLAP-2. SLAP-2 also bound c-Cbl, with the interaction being mediated, at least in part, by the unique C-terminal domain of SLAP-2. Overexpression of SLAP-2 in bone marrow macrophages partially suppressed the CSF-1-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and/or expression level of a approximately 80 kDa protein without affecting CSF-1-induced global tyrosine phosphorylation, or activation of Akt or Erk1/2. Significantly, CSF-1 stimulation induced serine phosphorylation of SLAP-2. Pharmacologic inhibition of specific protein kinases revealed that CSF-1-induced phosphorylation of SLAP-2 was dependent on JNK activity. Taken together, our results suggest that SLAP-2 could potentially be involved in signaling by the CSF-1 receptor.

Abstract
Embryonic dorsal closure (DC) in Drosophila is a series of morphogenetic movements involving the bilateral dorsal movement of the epidermis (cell stretching) and dorsal suturing of the leading edge (LE) cells to enclose the viscera. The Syk family tyrosine kinase Shark plays a crucial role in this Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK)-dependent process, where it acts upstream of JNK in LE cells. Using a yeast two-hybrid screen, the unique Drosophila homolog of the downstream of kinase (Dok) family, Ddok,was identified by its ability to bind Shark SH2 domains in a tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent fashion. In cultured S2 embryonic cells, Ddok tyrosine phosphorylation is Src dependent; Shark associates with Ddok and Ddok localizes at the cell cortex, together with a portion of the Shark protein. The embryonic expression pattern of Ddok resembles the expression pattern of Shark. Ddok loss-of-function mutant (DdokPG155)germ-line clones possess DC defects, including the loss of JNK-dependent expression of dpp mRNA in LE cells, and decreased epidermal F-actin staining and LE actin cable formation. Epistatic analysis indicates that Ddok functions upstream of shark to activate JNK signaling during DC. Consistent with these observations, Ddok mutant embryos exhibit decreased levels of tyrosine phosphorylated Shark at the cell periphery of LE and epidermal cells. As there are six mammalian Dok family members that exhibit some functional redundancy, analysis of the regulation of DC by Ddok is expected to provide novel insights into the function of the Dok adapter proteins.

Abstract
To date, five members of the downstream of tyrosine kinase (Dok) family have been characterized. In T cells, two members, Dok-1 and Dok-2, are expressed. CD2 or CD28 stimulation, but not CD3/TCR stimulation, induces Dok phosphorylation. Recent evidence suggests that they act as negative regulators of the CD2 and CD28 signaling pathways. To identify the molecular mechanisms involved in Dok-mediated inhibition, we have identified proteins that bind to the phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) domain of Dok-1 and Dok-2. We showed that the Dok PTB domain mediates phosphotyrosine-dependent homotypic and heterotypic interactions of Dok-1 and Dok-2. Moreover, in CD2-stimulated Jurkat cells, Dok-1 coimmunoprecipitates with tyrosine-phosphorylated Dok-2. To study the involvement of PTB-mediated oligomerization in Dok function, we have generated Jurkat clones overexpressing Dok-1 or Dok-2 with a mutation that prevents oligomerization (in either the PTB domain or Tyr146 of Dok-1 and Tyr139 of Dok-2). These mutations abrogate CD2-induced phosphorylation and the ability of Dok-1 or Dok-2 to inhibit CD2-induced ERK1/2 and NFAT activation. Moreover, overexpression of Dok-1Y146F or Dok-2Y139F interferes with CD2-induced phosphorylation of endogenous Dok, whereas overexpression of PTB mutant or wild-type Dok does not. Taken together, these data indicate that PTB-mediated oligomerization of Dok-1 and Dok-2 represents an essential step for Dok phosphorylation and function.

Abstract
Dok-1 and Dok-2 are closely related rasGAP-associated docking proteins expressed preferentially in hematopoietic cells. Although they are phosphorylated upon activation of many protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), including those coupled with cytokine receptors and oncogenic PTKs like Bcr-Abl, their physiological roles are largely unidentified. Here, we generated mice lacking Dok-1 and/or Dok-2, which included the double-deficient mice succumbed to myeloproliferative disease resembling human chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. The double-deficient mice displayed medullary and extramedullary hyperplasia of granulocyte/macrophage progenitors with leukemic potential, and their myeloid cells showed hyperproliferation and hypo-apoptosis upon treatment and deprivation of cytokines, respectively. Consistently, the mutant myeloid cells showed enhanced Erk and Akt activation upon cytokine stimulation. Moreover, loss of Dok-1 and/or Dok-2 induced blastic transformation of chronic phase CML-like disease in mice carrying the bcr-abl gene, a cause of CML. These findings demonstrate that Dok-1 and Dok-2 are key negative regulators of cytokine responses and are essential for myeloid homeostasis and suppression of leukemia.

Abstract
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is characterized by the presence of the chimeric p210bcr/abl oncoprotein that shows elevated and constitutive protein tyrosine kinase activity relative to the normal c-abl tyrosine kinase. Although several p210bcr/abl substrates have been identified, their relevance in the pathogenesis of the disease is unclear. We have identified a family of proteins, Dok (downstream of tyrosine kinase), coexpressed in hematopoietic progenitor cells. Members of this family such as p62dok (Dok-1) and p56dok-2 (Dok-2) associate with the p120 rasGTPase-activating protein (rasGAP) upon phosphorylation by p210bcr/abl as well as receptor and nonreceptor tyrosine kinases. Here, we report the generation and characterization of single and double Dok-1 or Dok-2 knockout (KO) mutants. Single KO mice displayed normal steady-state hematopoiesis. By contrast, concomitant Dok-1 and Dok-2 inactivation resulted in aberrant hemopoiesis and Ras/MAP kinase activation. Strikingly, all Dok-1/Dok-2 double KO mutants spontaneously developed transplantable CML-like myeloproliferative disease due to increased cellular proliferation and reduced apoptosis. Furthermore, Dok-1 or Dok-2 inactivation markedly accelerated leukemia and blastic crisis onset in Tec-p210bcr/abl transgenic mice known to develop, after long latency, a myeloproliferative disorder resembling human CML. These findings unravel the critical and unexpected role of Dok-1 and Dok-2 in tumor suppression and control of the hematopoietic compartment homeostasis.

Abstract
HIV-1 Nef protein is a major determinant of the pathogenicity of the virus. It has been shown that Nef activates Hck, a member of Src family kinase, in monocytes/macrophages and that the interaction is critical for AIDS-like disease progression in a mouse model. However, it was unclear how the molecular interaction in monocytes/macrophages leads to disease progression. Here, we show for the first time that Nef interferes with the macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF)/M-CSF receptor signal pathway. In this study, we introduced a conditionally active Nef into myeloid leukemia TF-1-fms cells and analyzed their responsiveness to M-CSF. We found that Nef-activated Hck constitutively associated with the M-CSF receptor complex. The formation of the molecular complex should occur under physiologic conditions, that is, on M-CSF stimulation. Because of aberrant molecular association, the tyrosine-phosphorylation/activation of the receptor in response to M-CSF was markedly diminished in Nef-active cells. Consequently, Nef activation caused the inhibition of M-CSF-mediated proliferation of TF-1-fms cells and macrophage differentiation of the cells induced by M-CSF and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate. These results indicate that HIV-1 Nef interferes with M-CSF receptor signaling through Hck activation and thereby inhibits M-CSF functions in monocytes/macrophages.

Abstract
CD200 and its receptor CD200R are both type I membrane glycoproteins that contain two Ig-like domains. Engagement of CD200R by CD200 inhibits activation of myeloid cells. Unlike the majority of immune inhibitory receptors, CD200R lacks an ITIM in the cytoplasmic domain. The molecular mechanism of CD200R inhibition of myeloid cell activation is unknown. In this study, we examined the CD200R signaling pathways that control degranulation of mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells. We found that upon ligand binding, CD200R is phosphorylated on tyrosine and subsequently binds to adapter proteins Dok1 and Dok2. Upon phosphorylation, Dok1 binds to SHIP and both Dok1 and Dok2 recruit RasGAP, which mediates the inhibition of the Ras/MAPK pathways. Activation of ERK, JNK, and p38 MAPK are all inhibited by CD200R engagement. The reduced activation of these MAPKs is responsible for the observed inhibition of mast cell degranulation and cytokine production. Similar signaling events were also observed upon CD200R engagement in mouse peritoneal cells. These data define a novel inhibitory pathway used by CD200R in modulating mast cell function and help to explain how engagement of this receptor in vivo regulates myeloid cell function.

Abstract
Activation of Ret, the receptor-tyrosine kinase for the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family ligands (GFLs), results in the recruitment and assembly of adaptor protein complexes that function to transduce signals downstream of the receptor. Here we identify Dok-6, a novel member of the Dok-4/5 subclass of the p62 Dok family of intracellular adaptor molecules, and characterize its interaction with Ret. Expression analysis reveals that Dok-6 is highly expressed in the developing central nervous system and is co-expressed with Ret in several locations, including sympathetic, sensory, and parasympathetic ganglia, as well as in the ureteric buds of the developing kidneys. Pull-down assays using the Dok-6 phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain and GDNF-activated Ret indicate that Dok-6 binds to the phosphorylated Ret Tyr(1062) residue. Moreover, ligand activation of Ret resulted in phosphorylation of tyrosine residue(s) located within the unique C terminus of Dok-6 predominantly through a Src-dependent mechanism, indicating that Dok-6 is a substrate of the Ret-Src signaling pathway. Interestingly, expression of Dok-6 potentiated GDNF-induced neurite outgrowth in GDNF family receptor alpha1 (GFRalpha1)-expressing Neuro2A cells that was dependent upon the C-terminal residues of Dok-6. Taken together, these data identify Dok-6 as a novel Dok-4/5-related adaptor molecule that may function in vivo to transduce signals that regulate Ret-mediated processes such as axonal projection.

Abstract
Dok-3 is a Dok-related adaptor expressed in B cells and macrophages. Previously, we reported that Dok-3 is an inhibitor of B-cell activation in A20 B cells and that it associates with SHIP-1, a 5' inositol-specific lipid phosphatase, as well as Csk, a negative regulator of Src kinases. Here, we demonstrate that Dok-3 suppresses B-cell activation by way of its interaction with SHIP-1, rather than Csk. Our biochemical analyses showed that the Dok-3-SHIP-1 complex acts by selectively inhibiting the B-cell receptor (BCR)-evoked activation of the Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) cascade without affecting overall protein tyrosine phosphorylation or activation of previously described SHIP-1 targets like Btk and Akt/PKB. Studies of B cells derived from SHIP-1-deficient mice showed that BCR-triggered activation of JNK is enhanced in the absence of SHIP-1, implying that the Dok-3-SHIP-1 complex (or a related mechanism) is a physiological negative regulator of the JNK cascade in normal B cells. Together, these data elucidate the mechanism by which Dok-3 inhibits B-cell activation. Furthermore, they provide evidence that SHIP-1 can be a negative regulator of JNK signaling in B cells.

Abstract
Adaptors are modular proteins implicated in the orchestration of intracellular signalling pathways. Studies of adaptors specifically expressed in immune cells have provided clear examples of the importance of adaptor molecules in normal mammalian biology. Moreover, they have led to the identification of naturally occurring mutations in adaptors that can be linked to human diseases. Lastly, they have highlighted the plasticity of protein-protein interaction modules, and have shed light onto the mechanisms dictating the specificity of adaptor-mediated signals.

Abstract
Dok-like adapter molecules represent an expanding family of pleckstrin homology (PH) and phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) domain-containing tyrosine kinase substrates with negative regulatory functions in hematopoietic cell signaling. In a search for nonhematopoietic counterparts to Dok molecules, we identified and characterized Dok-4, a recently cloned member of the family. dok-4 mRNA was strongly expressed in nonhematopoietic organs, particularly the intestine, kidney, and lung, whereas both mRNA and protein were expressed at high levels in cells of epithelial origin. In Caco-2 human colon cancer cells, endogenous Dok-4 underwent tyrosine phosphorylation in response to pervanadate stimulation. In transfected COS cells, Dok-4 was a substrate for the cytosolic tyrosine kinases Src and Fyn as well as for Jak2. Dok-4 could also be phosphorylated by the receptor tyrosine kinase Ret but not by platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta or IGF-IR. In both mammalian cells and yeast, Dok-4 was constitutively localized at the membrane in a manner that required both its PH and PTB domains. The PH and PTB domains of Dok-4 were also required for tyrosine phosphorylation of Dok-4 by Fyn and Ret. Finally, wild type Dok-4 strongly inhibited activation of Elk-1 induced by either Ret or Fyn. The attenuation of this inhibitory effect by deletion of the PH domain and its restoration by the addition of a myristoylation signal suggested an important role for constitutive membrane localization of Dok-4. In summary, Dok-4 is a constitutively membrane-localized adapter molecule that may function as an inhibitor of tyrosine kinase signaling in epithelial cells.

Abstract
We have identified a novel RING-B-box-coiled-coil (RBCC) protein (MAIR for macrophage-derived apoptosis-inducing RBCC protein) that consists of an N-terminal RING finger, followed by a B-box zinc finger, a coiled-coil domain, and a B30.2 domain. MAIR mRNA was expressed widely in mouse tissues and was induced by macrophage colony-stimulating factor in murine peritoneal and bone marrow macrophages. MAIR protein initially showed a granular distribution predominantly in the cytoplasm. The addition of zinc to transfectants containing MAIR cDNA as part of a heavy metal-inducible vector caused apoptosis of the cells characterized by cell fragmentation; a reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential; activation of caspase-7, -8, and -9, but not caspase-3; and DNA degradation. We also found that the RING finger and coiled-coil domains were required for MAIR activity by analysis with deletion mutants.

Abstract
Adaptors are molecular scaffolds that recruit effectors, which are critical for immune cell activation. Recent work has underscored the requirement for adaptors in propagating stimulatory signals as well as their ability to inhibit immune cell function. The mechanisms by which adaptors function rely not only on the intermolecular interactions they mediate, but also on where they are localized within the cell. The use of sophisticated genetic, biochemical, cellular and imaging approaches has provided important new insights into the biology of adaptor protein function. Here we focus on T lymphocytes as a model to illustrate the critical roles adaptors play as regulators of cellular activation.

Abstract
Dok proteins are adapter proteins involved in signal transduction. Several intracellular proteins expressed in lymphocytes meet the criteria of membrane-associated adapter proteins such as members of the Dok family. To understand the role and the formation of multiprotein networks involving Dok proteins in T lymphocytes, we search for potential additional members of this family. Here, we describe the two new human dok-related genes DOK4 and DOK5 and present data showing the expression of DOK4 and DOK5 genes in T cells. These genes are the orthologues of mouse Dok4 and Dok5 genes. Based on analysis of phylogenetic trees and exon/intron structure of Dok family members, DOK4 and DOK5 define a subfamily within dok genes distinct from DOK1, DOK2 and DOK3. So, Dok-4 and Dok-5 molecules constitute a new group of adapter proteins in T cells, requiring further functional analysis.

Abstract
We have cloned and characterized a novel gene from both human and mouse that encodes a new member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The gene is preferentially expressed in both brain and testis, and hence, termed BT-IgSF (brain- and testis-specific immunoglobulin superfamily). The predicted protein consists of V-type and C2-type immunoglobulin domains as well as a hydrophobic signal sequence, a single transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic domain. Human BT-IgSF protein (431 amino acids) is 88% identical to the mouse protein (428 amino acids) and both show significant homology to coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR) and endothelial cell-selective adhesion molecule (ESAM). We examined the expression of BT-IgSF with various cultured cells and found that the gene was expressed in both neurons and glial cells in vitro. Furthermore, the expression was preferentially detected in pyramidal cell layers of the dentate gyrus and hippocampus and in commissure fibers of the corpus callosum, in brain tissue sections examined. These findings suggest that BT-IgSF plays a role in the development or function of the central nervous system.

Abstract
SH2/SH3 domain-containing adapter proteins, such as the Nck family, play a major role in regulating tyrosine kinase signalling. They serve to recruit proline-rich effector molecules to tyrosine-phosphorylated kinases or their substrates. Initially, it was not clear why cells from nematodes to vertebrates contain redundant and closely related SH2/SH3 adapters, such as Grb2, Crk and Nck. Recent evidence suggests that their biological roles are clearly different, whereas, for example, Grb2 connects activated receptor tyrosine kinases to Sos and Ras, leading to cell proliferation. The proteins of Nck family are implicated in organisation of actin cytoskeleton, cell movement or axon guidance in flies. In this review, the author attempts to summarise signalling pathways in which Nck plays a critical role.

Abstract
Downstream of kinase (Dok)-related protein (DokR, also known as p56(dok)/FRIP/Dok-R) is implicated in cytokine and immunoreceptor signaling in myeloid and T cells. Tyrosine phosphorylation induces DokR to bind the signal relay molecules, RasGTPase-activating protein (RasGAP) and Nck. Here, we have examined the function of DokR during hematopoietic development and the requirement for RasGAP and Nck binding sites in its biological function. Retroviral-mediated expression of DokR in bone marrow cells dramatically inhibited their capacity to form colonies in vitro in response to the cytokines macrophage colony-stimulating factor and stem cell factor, whereas responses to interleukin-3 and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor were only weakly affected. When introduced into lethally irradiated mice, hematopoietic cells expressing DokR showed a drastically reduced capacity to repopulate lymphoid tissues. Most notably, DokR dramatically reduced repopulation of the thymus, in part by reducing the number of T cell precursors seeding in the thymus, but equally, through inhibiting the transition of CD4(-)CD8(-) to CD4(+)CD8(+) T cells. Consequently, the number of mature peripheral T cells was markedly reduced. In contrast, a minimal effect on B cell and myeloid lineage development was observed. Importantly, functional RasGAP and Nck binding sites were found to be essential for the biological effects of DokR in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The receptor for macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) is expressed in monocytes/macrophages and their progenitor cells and stimulates both the growth and development of the blood-cell lineage. Although the specific components positively regulating M-CSF receptor signaling have been relatively well defined, it is now clear that important mechanisms to control the signaling cascades also exist. This review discusses the most recent results concerning the negative regulatory molecules for M-CSF receptor signaling. In particular, we focus on negative molecules for both proliferation of monocytes/macrophages and differentiation into mature cells.
