Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from a breakdown in immunological tolerance, with pivotal involvement of antigen-presenting cells. In this context, antigen-specific immunotherapies have been developed to arrest autoimmunity, such as phosphatidylserine (PS)-liposomes. However, the role of certain antigen-presenting cells in immunotherapy, particularly human macrophages (Mφ) in T1D remains elusive. The aim of this study was to determine the role of Mφ in antigen-specific immune tolerance and T1D. To that end, we evaluated Mφ ability to capture apoptotic-body mimicking PS-liposomes in mice and conducted a phenotypic and functional characterisation of four human monocyte-derived Mφ (MoMφ) subpopulations (M0, M1, M2a and M2c) after PS-liposomes uptake. Our findings in mice identified Mφ as the most phagocytic cell subset in the spleen and liver. In humans, while phagocytosis rates were comparable between T1D and control individuals, PS-liposome capture dynamics differed among Mφ subtypes, favouring inflammatory (M1) and deactivated (M2c) Mφ. Notably, high nanoparticle concentrations did not affect macrophage viability. PS-liposome uptake by Mφ induced alterations in membrane molecule expression related to immunoregulation, reduced secretion of IL-6 and IL-12, and diminished autologous T-cell proliferation in the context of autoantigen stimulation. These results underscore the tolerogenic effects of PS-liposomes and emphasize their potential to target human Mφ, providing valuable insights into the mechanism of action of this preclinical immunotherapy.

Abstract
Plastic pollution is a global problem. Animals and humans can ingest and inhale plastic particles, with uncertain health consequences. Nanoplastics (NPs) are particles ranging from 1 nm to 1000 nm that result from the erosion or breakage of larger plastic debris, and can be highly polydisperse in physical properties and heterogeneous in composition. Potential effects of NPs exposure may be associated with alterations in the xenobiotic metabolism, nutrients absorption, energy metabolism, cytotoxicity, and behavior. In humans, no data on NPs absorptions has been reported previously. Given that their detection relies significantly on environmental exposure, we have prospectively studied the presence of NPs in human peripheral blood (PB). Specifically, we have used fluorescence techniques and nanocytometry, together with the staining of the lipophilic dye Nile Red (NR), to demonstrate that NPs can be accurately detected using flow cytometry.•Potential effects of nanoplastics exposure.•Fluorescence techniques and nanocytometry.•Accurate detection using flow cytometry.

Abstract
Robust and well-established techniques for the quantification and characterization of extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a crucial need for the utilization of EVs as potential diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Current bulk analysis techniques such as proteomics and Western blot suffer from low resolution in the detection of small changes in target marker expression levels, exemplified by the heterogeneity of EVs. Microscopy-based techniques can provide valuable information from individual EVs; however, they are time-consuming and statistically less powerful than other techniques. Flow cytometry has been successfully employed for the quantification and characterization of individual EVs within larger populations. However, traditional flow cytometry is not highly suited for the examination of smaller, submicron particles. Here we demonstrate the accurate and precise quantification of nanoparticles such as EVs using the Virus Counter 3100 (VC3100) platform, a fluorescence-based technique that uses the principles of flow cytometry with critical enhancements to enable the effective detection of smaller particles. This approach can detect nanoparticles precisely with no evidence of inaccurate concentration measurement from masking effects associated with traditional nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). Fluorescently labeled EVs from different sources were successfully quantified using the VC3100 without a postlabeling washing step. Moreover, protein profiling and characterization of individual EVs were achieved and have been shown to determine the expression level of target protein markers.

Abstract
Recognition of antigen by T cells requires the formation of a specialized junction between the T cell and the antigen-presenting cell. This junction is generated by the recruitment and the exclusion of specific proteins from the contact area. The mechanisms that regulate these events are unknown. Here we demonstrate that ligand engagement of the adhesion molecule, CD2, initiates a process of protein segregation, CD2 clustering, and cytoskeletal polarization. Although protein segregation was not dependent on the cytoplasmic domain of CD2, CD2 clustering and cytoskeletal polarization required an interaction of the CD2 cytoplasmic domain with a novel SH3-containing protein. This novel protein, called CD2AP, is likely to facilitate receptor patterning in the contact area by linking specific adhesion receptors to the cytoskeleton.

Abstract
The Fas antigen (Apo1/CD95) is a transmembrane protein belonging to the nerve growth factor receptor family. It is expressed on a variety of cells, including activated T lymphocytes. Ligation of Fas with its natural ligand or with anti-Fas antibodies often results in the apoptotic death of the cell, making Fas an important mediator of down-regulating immune responses. The signal transduction pathways utilized by Fas are currently unknown, although tyrosine kinase activity has recently been strongly implicated. Here, we report that the tyrosine kinase p59fyn physically associates with Fas in Fas-sensitive cells. In addition, we show that activated T lymphocytes from fyn knockout mice exhibit elevated lifespans and reduced apoptosis in vitro compared to their normal counterparts. Furthermore, activated T lymphocytes from the fyn-deficient mice are less sensitive to killing by both anti-Fas antibody and Fas-ligand cytotoxic T cells. These results suggest that p59fyn plays an important role in Fas signal transduction.

Abstract
The expression of the src-family kinases, p56lck and p59fyn, is critical for thymocyte development and TCR-mediated signal transduction, and may be important for signaling through other lymphoid receptors as well. Overexpression studies have demonstrated that the levels of p56lck and p59fyn expression can affect T cell development and signaling through the TCR. Therefore, it is likely that their exact expression levels play an important role in modulating signaling in thymocytes, mature T cells, and other lymphocytes. Here, we used quantitative immunoblotting to measure p56lck and p59fyn protein expression levels in thymocyte subsets, peripheral T cells, NK cells, and lymphoid cell lines. p59fyn expression levels were similar to p56lck in most cells that were examined demonstrating that p59fyn is abundantly expressed in T cells. In addition, we found that p56lck protein expression is equivalent in CD4 and CD8 double-negative, double-positive, and single-positive thymocytes. In contrast, p59fyn expression levels were significantly lower in double-positive thymocytes than in the other thymocyte subpopulations. Finally, we demonstrate that p56lck and p59fyn expression varies greatly in a number of cell lines used to study T cell activation and that IL-2 treatment can dynamically regulate p56lck and p59fyn expression in some cells.

Abstract
src family tyrosine kinases contain two noncatalytic domains termed src homology 3 (SH3) and SH2 domains. Although several other signal transduction molecules also contain tandemly occurring SH3 and SH2 domains, the function of these closely spaced domains is not well understood. To identify the role of the SH3 domains of src family tyrosine kinases, we sought to identify proteins that interacted with this domain. By using the yeast two-hybrid system, we identified p62, a tyrosine-phosphorylated protein that associates with p21ras GTPase-activating protein, as a src family kinase SH3-domain-binding protein. Reconstitution of complexes containing p62 and the src family kinase p59fyn in HeLa cells demonstrated that complex formation resulted in tyrosine phosphorylation of p62 and was mediated by both the SH3 and SH2 domains of p59fyn. The phosphorylation of p62 by p59fyn required an intact SH3 domain, demonstrating that one function of the src family kinase SH3 domains is to bind and present certain substrates to the kinase. As p62 contains at least five SH3-domain-binding motifs and multiple tyrosine phosphorylation sites, p62 may interact with other signalling molecules via SH3 and SH2 domain interactions. Here we show that the SH3 and/or SH2 domains of the signalling proteins Grb2 and phospholipase C gamma-1 can interact with p62 both in vitro and in vivo. Thus, we propose that one function of the tandemly occurring SH3 and SH2 domains of src family kinases is to bind p62, a multifunctional SH3 and SH2 domain adapter protein, linking src family kinases to downstream effector and regulatory molecules.

Abstract
Abstract
Decay-accelerating factor (DAF or CD55) is a 70-kDa glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein that protects cells from complement-mediated lysis by either preventing the formation of or dissociating C3 convertases. Cross-linking of DAF on human peripheral T cells by polyclonal antibodies has previously been reported to lead to lymphocyte proliferation. Two mAb, both mapping to the third short consensus repeat region of DAF, were able to trigger proliferation of human peripheral T cells. To determine the role of the GPI anchor in cell activation, we transfected EL-4 murine thymoma cells with cDNA encoding either DAF or a transmembrane form of DAF (DAF-TM). The DAF-transfected cells were able to transduce late activation events as evidenced by IL-2 production, whereas DAF-TM transfected cells were unable to do so. The GPI-anchored DAF was able to transduce early activation events leading to the tyrosine phosphorylation of a 40-kDa protein and several proteins in the 85-95 kDa range--an event absent in DAF-TM-transfected cells. Furthermore, anti-DAF immunoprecipitates of DAF-transfected cells contain tyrosine kinase activity leading to the phosphorylation of 40-, 56-60-, and 85-kDa proteins, whereas anti-DAF immunoprecipitates of DAF-TM-transfected cells did not have an associated kinase activity. Both p56lck and p59fyn were associated with DAF in DAF-transfected EL-4 cells. In HeLa cells transfected with fyn, DAF associated with p59fyn. This complex of DAF with src family protein tyrosine kinases requires the GPI anchor and suggests a pathway for signaling through GPI-anchored membrane proteins.

Abstract
Abstract
In this report, we present data on heterogeneity of rat NK cells utilizing a combination of antibody and lectin-binding characteristics. Among NKR-P1bright NK cells, two discrete populations characterized as Lycopersicon esculentum lectin (L.E.)bright (60 to 80%) and L.E.dim (20 to 40%) were identified by flow cytometry. Comparison of the morphology of sorted NKR-P1bright/L.E.bright and NKR-P1bright/L.E.dim cells indicated that both were greater than 90% LGL. An analysis of the functional capabilities of the sub-populations indicated that NKR-P1bright/L.E.bright NK cells were more efficient in lysis of YAC-1 target cells (1743 LU20/10(7) cells) than were NKR-P1bright/L.E.dim cells (504 LU20/10(7) cells). Conversely, NKR-P1bright/L.E.dim NK cells were much more efficient at lysis of antibody-sensitized erythrocytes (antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)) (1412 LU20/10(7) cells) than were NKR-P1bright/L.E.bright cells (165 LU20/10(7) cells). Lysis of antibody sensitized P815 target cells yielded similar results as NKR-P1bright/L.E.dim cells and NKR-P1bright/L.E.bright cells had 905 LU20/10(7) and 189 LU20/10(7), respectively. Additional experiments indicated that NKR-P1bright/L.E.bright NK cells had the capacity to trigger lytic activity via NKR-P1 whereas NKR-P1bright/L.E.dim NK cells did not. NKR-P1bright/L.E.bright sorted cells had a greater capacity to form conjugates with YAC-1 target cells than did NKR-P1bright/L.E.dim sorted cells. Conversely, NKR-P1bright/L.E.dim NK cells were demonstrated to form E-A rosettes whereas the NKR-P1bright/L.E.bright NK cells were not. Additional experiments indicated that tomato lectin itself was not responsible for the differences in reverse ADCC activity or ADCC activity among the subsets. However, lysis of YAC-1 target cells was modulated to some degree by the lectin. These data indicate that NKR-P1bright/L.E.bright and NKR-P1bright/L.E.dim subpopulations of rat NK cells have different capacities for: 1) triggering through NKR-P1; and 2) E-A rosette formation and lysis of antibody-sensitized target cells by ADCC.

Abstract
In this report, we present data on heterogeneity of rat NK cells utilizing a combination of antibody and lectin-binding characteristics. Among NKR-P1bright NK cells, two discrete populations characterized as Lycopersicon esculentum lectin (L.E.)bright (60 to 80%) and L.E.dim (20 to 40%) were identified by flow cytometry. Comparison of the morphology of sorted NKR-P1bright/L.E.bright and NKR-P1bright/L.E.dim cells indicated that both were greater than 90% LGL. An analysis of the functional capabilities of the sub-populations indicated that NKR-P1bright/L.E.bright NK cells were more efficient in lysis of YAC-1 target cells (1743 LU20/10(7) cells) than were NKR-P1bright/L.E.dim cells (504 LU20/10(7) cells). Conversely, NKR-P1bright/L.E.dim NK cells were much more efficient at lysis of antibody-sensitized erythrocytes (antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)) (1412 LU20/10(7) cells) than were NKR-P1bright/L.E.bright cells (165 LU20/10(7) cells). Lysis of antibody sensitized P815 target cells yielded similar results as NKR-P1bright/L.E.dim cells and NKR-P1bright/L.E.bright cells had 905 LU20/10(7) and 189 LU20/10(7), respectively. Additional experiments indicated that NKR-P1bright/L.E.bright NK cells had the capacity to trigger lytic activity via NKR-P1 whereas NKR-P1bright/L.E.dim NK cells did not. NKR-P1bright/L.E.bright sorted cells had a greater capacity to form conjugates with YAC-1 target cells than did NKR-P1bright/L.E.dim sorted cells. Conversely, NKR-P1bright/L.E.dim NK cells were demonstrated to form E-A rosettes whereas the NKR-P1bright/L.E.bright NK cells were not. Additional experiments indicated that tomato lectin itself was not responsible for the differences in reverse ADCC activity or ADCC activity among the subsets. However, lysis of YAC-1 target cells was modulated to some degree by the lectin. These data indicate that NKR-P1bright/L.E.bright and NKR-P1bright/L.E.dim subpopulations of rat NK cells have different capacities for: 1) triggering through NKR-P1; and 2) E-A rosette formation and lysis of antibody-sensitized target cells by ADCC.

Abstract
To study the cellular structures involved in NK and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell function, we have produced a panel of mAbs that modulate the cytolytic function of a population of cells with LAK activity that derive from large granular lymphocyte (LGL)/NK cells (adherent LAK [A-LAK] cells). In this report, we describe an mAb (3.2.3; IgG1k) that recognizes a triggering structure that is expressed on rat LGL/NK cells and A-LAK cells. This epitope is also expressed on polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). The expression of the epitope identified by mAb 3.2.3 increased progressively on A-LAK cells after culture in the presence of rIL-2. mAb 3.2.3 enhanced the cytolytic activity of NK and A-LAK cells against FcR+ target cells, but not FcR- target cells. However, this effect was not induced by F(ab')2 fragments of 3.2.3. This antibody also induced the release of N-alpha-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine thiobenzy esteresterase by A-LAK cells. These data suggest that the epitope identified by mAb 3.2.3 is on a triggering structure expressed on rat NK cells and A-LAK cells. The expression of the epitope recognized by mAb 3.2.3 on LGL/NK cells and PMN suggests that this structure may be analogous to that identified by the anti-CD16 (-FcR) mAbs. However, the molecule immunoprecipitated by mAb 3.2.3 was a 60-kD dimer composed of two 30-kD chains. These data suggest that mAb 3.2.3 recognizes a unique triggering structure. As mAb 3.2.3 is the first antibody recognizing a determinant with functional significance, selectively expressed on both rat NK cells and A-LAK cells, it will be a useful tool for the study of NK cell ontogeny and function, and the development of cells with LAK activity from the NK cell compartment.

Abstract
The progenitor and effector cell phenotype of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells generated in F344 rats by recombinant human interleukin 2 (IL-2) (rIL-2) were analyzed. Highly purified populations of peripheral blood large granular lymphocytes (LGL) exhaustively depleted of T-cells were fully capable of generating high levels of LAK activity by 3 to 5 days in culture while purified populations of resting T-cells devoid of LGL could not generate LAK activity. This pure population of LGL expressed surface markers characteristic of rat natural killer (NK) cells [i.e., OX8+, asialomonoganglioside (asialo-GM1+), laminin+, OX19-, R1-3B3-, W3/25-, Ia-, surface immunoglobulin negative (SIg-)]. Further evidence that NK cells were the progenitors of cells with LAK activity was obtained by treatment of spleen or peripheral blood lymphocytes with anti-laminin or anti-asialo-GM1 antibodies plus complement or with the lysosomotropic agent L-leucine methyl ester. These treatments effectively depleted LGL/NK cell activity and the subsequent generation of rIL-2-induced LAK activity. Analysis of the LAK effector phenotype by cell sorting demonstrated that the majority of cells with LAK activity were OX8+, asialo-GM1+, laminin+, OX6+, OX19-, R1-3B3-, W3/25-, and SIg-. Furthermore, treatment of LAK cells with L-leucine methyl ester also significantly reduced their cytolytic activity. Thus, the LAK effector cells were also LGL and expressed surface marker characteristic of activated NK cells and not those of mature T- or B-cells. The proliferative response of rat spleen or blood lymphocytes to rIL-2 appeared to be primarily associated with LGL/NK cells since depletion of NK cells by anti-asialo-GM1 or anti-laminin antibody plus complement or by L-leucine methyl ester significantly (P less than 0.001) reduced the incorporation of [3H]thymidine into DNA. In contrast, depletion of T-cells (by anti-T-cell antibody plus complement) did not significantly affect rIL-2-induced proliferation. Similarly, T-cell-depleted, highly purified populations of LGL gave substantial proliferative responses to rIL-2. These studies clearly indicate that in the rat, the major cell population activated by rIL-2 is the LGL/NK cell and these cells appear to represent the major population of cells in blood or spleen which generate broad antitumor (LAK) cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Prostaglandin E1 and E2 (PGE) antagonize the phosphaturic effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH), but do not alter the phosphaturia evoked by adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) analogues. These findings support the idea that PGE interfere with activation of adenylate cyclase in the renal proximal tubule. We tested this hypothesis in the rabbit renal proximal straight tubule (PST). In the PST, adenylate cyclase was activated by PTH (Km = 10(-9) M PTH), but not by PGE2, which attenuated the activation of adenylate cyclase by PTH. The inhibition by PGE2 of PTH action was prevented by pertussis toxin, which deactivates the regulatory aggregate, Ni. In the PST, PGE2 also attenuated the activation of adenylate cyclase by cholera toxin. The inhibitory effect of PGE2 was selective; PGE2 did not inhibit activation of adenylate cyclase in glomeruli, but it inhibited the enzyme in proximal convoluted tubules (PCT) and PST. We conclude that PGE2 inhibits adenylate cyclase in rabbit proximal tubule. We propose that this action may, in part, regulate transport function in vivo.
