A non-invasive liquid biopsy permits the analysis of multiple circulating biomarkers in one sample and facilitates the discovery of disease as well as treatment response monitoring in applications such as oncology. Here, we demonstrate that paramagnetic Dynabeads® provide a versatile and automation friendly tool for fast, sensitive, and high throughput isolation that can be tailored to isolate specific circulating biomarkers such as cells, exosomes, and cell-free nucleic acids. Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) Positive Isolation Negative Isolation For the positive isolation, Dynabeads® coupled with a monoclonal antibody targeting EpCAM CTCs can also be enriched by applying negative isolation. The advantage is that it is (epithelial cell adhesion molecule) are used to capture CTCs from whole blood samples. For independent of surface marker expression (e.g. EpCAM) on the CTCs. To deplete ® ® downstream applications, mRNA can be isolated using Dynabeads Oligo (dT)25 and white blood cells, Dynabeads CD45 are used. These beads deplete more than 95 % analyzed using gene expression analysis (Figure 1E) or sequencing. of the leukocytes from mononuclear cells (MNCs) (Figure 2), whole blood, and buffy coat. Addition of Dynabeads® CD15 could further increase cell depletion.

Systemic sclerosis Results: The expression levels of CD63 as well as CD9 and CD81 tended to be increased in SSc dermal fibroblasts compared to normal fibroblasts. Increased exosomes in a cultured media of SSc fibroblasts stimulated the expression levels of type I collagen in normal fibroblasts. As the mechanism, collagen- related microRNA levels in SSc fibroblast-derived exosomes were dysregulated, indicating that both the amount and the content of exosomes were altered in SSc.

All rights reserved 0893-3952/10 $32.00 751 Expression of the tetraspanins CD9, CD37, CD63, and CD151 in Merkel cell carcinoma: strong evidence for a posttranscriptional fine-tuning of CD9 gene expression Markus Woegerbauer1, Dietmar Thurnher1, Roland Houben2, Johannes Pammer3, Philipp Kloimstein1, Gregor Heiduschka1, Peter Petzelbauer4 and Boban M Erovic1 1Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria; 2Department of Dermatology, Medical University of Wuerzburg, Germany; 3Department of Clinical Pathology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria and 4Department of Dermatology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria Tetraspanins including CD9, CD37, CD63, and CD151 are linked to cellular adhesion, cell differentiation, migration, carcinogenesis, and tumor progression. The aim of the study was to detect, quantify, and evaluate the prognostic value of these tetraspanins in Merkel cell carcinoma and to study the regulation of CD9 mRNA expression in Merkel cell carcinoma cell lines in detail. Immunohistochemical staining of 28 Merkel cell carcinoma specimens from 25 patients showed a significant correlation of CD9 (P ¼ 0.03) and CD151 (P ¼ 0.043) expression to overall survival. CD9 and CD63 expression correlated significantly to patients’ disease-free interval (P ¼ 0.017 and P ¼ 0.058). Of primary Merkel cell carcinoma tumors, 42% were CD9 positive in contrast to only 21% of the subcutaneous in-transit metastases. Characterization of the 50 untranslated region (UTR) of the CD9 mRNA from two cultured Merkel cell carcinoma cell lines revealed the presence of two major RNA species differing only in the length of their 50 termini (183 versus 102 nucleotides).

  • Extracellular Vesicle Human CD9/CD63/CD81 Antibody Panel
    Extracellular Vesicle Human CD9/CD63/CD81 Antibody Panel Antibody panel for the detection of extracellular vesicles using CD9, CD63, and CD81 markers Catalog #100-0211 1 Kit Product Description The Extracellular Vesicle Human CD9/CD63/CD81 Antibody Panel is suitable for the detection of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human cells. It comprises three primary antibodies that are immunoreactive toward human CD9, CD63, and CD81; these are proteins that are typically expressed on EVs and widely used as markers to analyze and isolate these cell-derived particles. CD9, CD63, and CD81 belong to the tetraspanin family of membrane proteins, which possess four transmembrane domains and interact with diverse proteins on the cell surface to form multimolecular networks termed tetraspanin-enriched microdomains. CD9, CD63, and CD81 proteins are expressed on the surface of many cells, including B cells, T cells, NK cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, thymocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts, and are involved in modulating a variety of cellular processes including cell activation, adhesion, differentiation, and tumor invasion. The antibodies provided in this panel have been reported for use in analyzing primary cells, cell lines, and EVs by ELISA, flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, immunoprecipitation, and Western blotting. They have been reported to cross-react with their cognate antigens in non-human primates, including baboons and rhesus and cynomolgus macaques.

ABSTRACT Aim. Helicobacter pylori cytotoxin-associated protein A (CagA) is an important vir- ulence factor known to induce gastric cancer development. However, the cause and the underlying molecular events of CagA induction remain unclear. Here, we applied integrated bioinformatics to identify the key genes involved in the process of CagA- induced gastric epithelial cell inflammation and can ceration to comprehend the potential molecular mechanisms involved. Materials and Methods. AGS cells were transected with pcDNA3.1 and pcDNA3.1::CagA for 24 h. The transfected cells were subjected to transcriptome sequencing to obtain the expressed genes. Differentially expressed genes (DEG) with adjusted P value < 0.05, | logFC |> 2 were screened, and the R package was applied for gene ontology (GO) enrichment and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. The differential gene protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the STRING Cytoscape application, which conducted visual analysis to create the key function networks and identify the key genes. Next, the Submitted 20 August 2020 Kaplan–Meier plotter survival analysis tool was employed to analyze the survival of the Accepted 11 March 2021 key genes derived from the PPI network.

  • Timp1 Interacts with Beta-1 Integrin and CD63 Along Melanoma
    Toricelli et al. Molecular Cancer 2013, 12:22 http://www.molecular-cancer.com/content/12/1/22 RESEARCH Open Access Timp1 interacts with beta-1 integrin and CD63 along melanoma genesis and confers anoikis resistance by activating PI3-K signaling pathway independently of Akt phosphorylation Mariana Toricelli1, Fabiana HM Melo1,2, Giovani B Peres3, Débora CP Silva4 and Miriam G Jasiulionis1* Abstract Background: Anoikis resistance is one of the abilities acquired along tumor progression. This characteristic is associated with metastasis development, since tumorigenic cells must survive independently of cell-matrix interactions in this process. In our laboratory, it was developed a murine melanocyte malignant transformation model associated with a sustained stressful condition. After subjecting melan-a melanocytes to 1, 2, 3 and 4 cycles of anchorage impediment, anoikis resistant cells were established and named 1C, 2C, 3C and 4C, respectively. These cells showed altered morphology and PMA independent cell growth, but were not tumorigenic, corresponding to pre-malignant cells. After limiting dilution of 4C pre-malignant cells, melanoma cell lines with different characteristics were obtained. Previous data from our group showed that increased Timp1 expression correlated with anoikis-resistant phenotype. Timp1 was shown to confer anchorage-independent growth capability to melan-a melanocytes and render melanoma cells more aggressive when injected into mice. However, the mechanisms involved in anoikis regulation by Timp1 in tumorigenic cells are not clear yet. Methods: The β1-integrin and Timp1 expression were evaluated by Western blotting and CD63 protein expression by flow cytometry using specific antibodies. To analyze the interaction among Timp1, CD63 and β1-integrin, immunoprecipitation assays were performed, anoikis resistance capability was evaluated in the presence or not of the PI3-K inhibitors, Wortmannin and LY294002.

In verschiedenen soliden Tumoren des Menschen spielt CD82 eine wichtige Rolle in den Prozessen der Zelldifferenzierung, der Apoptose, der Zelladhäsion sowie der Metasta- sierung. Es ist bekannt, dass CD82 in Prostatakarzinomen die Ausbildung von Metastasen unterdrückt, dass CD63 die Motilität maligner Melanomzellen reguliert und in die Prozesse der Zelladhäsion involviert ist.
