Abstract

Gold nanoparticles of 30 nm diameter bound to cell-surface receptor major histocompatibility complex glycoproteins (MHCI and MHCII), interleukin-2 receptor alpha subunit (IL-2Ralpha), very late antigen-4 (VLA-4) integrin, transferrin receptor, and the receptor-type protein tyrosin phosphatase CD45 are shown by the patch-clamp technique to selectively modulate binding characteristics of Pi(2) toxin, an efficient blocker of K(v)1.3 channels. After correlating the electrophysiological data with those on the underlying receptor clusters obtained by simultaneously conducted flow cytometric energy transfer measurements, the modulation was proved to be sensitive to the density and size of the receptor clusters, and to the locations of the receptors as well. Based on the observation that engagement of MHCII by a monoclonal antibody down-regulates channel current and based on the close nanometer-scale proximity of the MHCI and MHCII glycoproteins, an analogous experiment was carried out when gold nanoparticles bound to MHCI delayed down-regulation of the K(v)1.3 current initiated by ligation of MHCII. Localization of K(v)1.3 channels in the nanometer-scale vicinity of the MHC-containing lipid rafts is demonstrated for the first time. A ...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
