Phospholipase A2 receptor 1 (PLA2R) mediates collagen-dependent migration. The mechanisms by which PLA2R interacts with collagen remain unclear. We produced HEK293 cells expressing full-length wild-type PLA2R or a truncated PLA2R that lacks fibronectin-like type II (FNII) domains or several regions of C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD). We show that the CTLD1-2 as well as the FNII domain of PLA2R are responsible for binding to collagen and for collagen-dependent migration. Thus, multiple regions and domains of the extracellular portion of PLA2R participate in the responses to collagen. These data suggest a potentially new mechanism for PLA2R-mediated biological response beyond that of a receptor for secretory PLA2.

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the liver sustains severe damage and rapidly loses its function. The primary cause of ALF is the overdose of acetaminophen (APAP), and its treatment is relatively limited. The involvement of the complement system in the development of ALF has been implicated.

Membrane proteins, especially extracellular domains, are key therapeutic targets due to their role in cell communication and associations. Yet, their functions and interactions often remain unclear. This study presents a general method to discover interactions of membrane proteins with immune cells and subsequently to deorphanize their respective receptors.

Natural killer (NK) cells are essential elements of the innate immune response against tumors and viral infections. NK cell activation is governed by NK cell receptors that recognize both cellular (self) and viral (non-self) ligands, including MHC, MHC-related, and non-MHC molecules. These diverse receptors belong to two distinct structural families, the C-type lectin superfamily and the immunoglobulin superfamily.

Inoculation of Bothrops jararaca snake venom (BjV) induces thrombocytopenia in humans and various animal species. Although several BjV toxins acting on hemostasis have been well characterized in vitro, it is not known which one is responsible for inducing thrombocytopenia in vivo. In previous studies, we showed that BjV incubated with metalloproteinase or serine proteinase inhibitors and/or anti-botrocetin antibodies still induced thrombocytopenia in rats and mice.

Background: Beyond their conventional roles in hemostasis and wound healing, platelets have been shown to facilitate hematogenous metastasis by interacting with cancer cells. Depending on the activation route, platelets also generate different platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) that may educate cancer cells in the circulation or within the tumor microenvironment. We engaged different platelet-activating receptors, including glycoprotein VI and C-type lectin-like receptor 2, to generate a spectrum of PEV types.
