    Abstract: The newly described F-BAR (Fer/CIP4 and Bin, amphiphysin, Rvs) family of proteins includes Cdc42-interacting protein-4 (CIP4), formin-binding protein-17 (FBP-17) and transactivator of cytoskeletal assembly-1 (Toca-1), and drives membrane deformation and ... ...

    Abstract The newly described F-BAR (Fer/CIP4 and Bin, amphiphysin, Rvs) family of proteins includes Cdc42-interacting protein-4 (CIP4), formin-binding protein-17 (FBP-17) and transactivator of cytoskeletal assembly-1 (Toca-1), and drives membrane deformation and invagination. Membrane remodeling affects endocytosis, vesicle budding, and cargo selection. The F-BAR family presents a novel family of proteins, which little is known about their in vivo function. We investigated the physiological role of CIP4, by creating Cip4-null mice through homologous recombination. Compared with their wild-type littermates, the Cip4-null mice displayed lower early post-prandial glucose levels. Adipocytes isolated from Cip4-null mice exhibited increased [(14)C]2-deoxyglucose uptake compared with cells from wild-type mice. The enhanced insulin sensitivity was not due to higher levels of insulin or phospho-Akt, a critical player in insulin signaling. However, higher glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) levels were detected in muscle membrane fractions in Cip4-null mice under insulin stimulation. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts from Cip4-null mice demonstrated decreased transferrin uptake, fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran, and horseradish peroxidase uptake, indicating that CIP4 affects multiple modes of endocytosis. These studies demonstrate a physiological role for CIP4 in endocytosis leading to a whole animal phenotype.

    Abstract Background: Rho family GTPase regulation of the actin cytoskeleton governs a variety of cell responses. In this report, we have analyzed the role of the GTPase Rho in maintenance of the T lymphocyte actin cytoskeleton.
    Results: Inactivation of the GTPase Rho in the human T lymphocytic cell line HPB-ALL does not inhibit constitutively high adhesion to the integrin beta1 substrate fibronectin. It did however result in the aberrant extension of finger-like dendritic processes on the substrates VCAM-1, Fn, and mAb specific to beta1 integrins. Time-lapse video microscopy demonstrated that C3 induced extensions were primarily the result of an altered pseudopod elongation rather than retraction. Once the stellate pseudopodia extended, none retracted, and cells became completely immobile. Filipodial structures were absent and the dendritic-like processes in C3 treated cells were rich in filamentous actin. Immunolocalization of RhoA in untreated HPB-ALL cells spreading on fibronectin demonstrated a diffuse staining pattern within the pseudopodia. In C3 treated cells, clusters of RhoA were pronounced and localized within the altered extensions.
    Conclusions: GTPase Rho is actively involved in the regulation of T lymphocyte morphology and motility.

    Abstract The melanoma differentiation-associated gene 7 (mda-7) has been studied primarily in the context of its tumor suppressor activity. Although mda-7 has been designated as IL-24 based on its gene location in the IL-10 locus and its mRNA expression in leukocytes, no functional evidence supporting this cytokine designation exists. To further characterize MDA-7/IL-24 expression patterns in the human immune system, MDA-7/IL-24 protein levels were examined in human PBMC. MDA-7/IL-24 was detected in PHA- and LPS-stimulated whole PBMC lysate by Western blot and in PHA-activated CD56 and CD19 subsets by immunohistochemistry. The biological function of MDA-7/IL-24, secreted from Ad-MDA7-transfected HEK 293 cells, was assessed by examining the effect of MDA-7/IL-24 on the cytokine secretion profile of PBMC. Within 48 h MDA-7/IL-24 induced secretion of high levels of IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma and low levels of IL-1beta, IL-12, and GM-CSF from human PBMC as measured by ELISA. The MDA-7/IL-24-mediated induction of these Th1-type cytokines was inhibited by the addition of IL-10 to the PBMC cultures, suggesting that these two related protein family members may provide antagonistic functions. Therefore, because human blood leukocytes can be stimulated to produce MDA-7/IL-24, as well as respond to MDA-7/IL-24 by expressing secondary cytokines, MDA-7/IL-24 has the expression profile and major functional attributes that justify its designation as an IL.
