Platelet DKK1 promotes tolerogenic dendritic cells and non-healing responses in cutaneous leishmaniasis

Olivia C. Ihedioha, Anutr Sivakoses, Haley Q. Marcarian, Malini Sajeev, Diane McMahon‐Pratt, Alfred L.M. Bothwell

This study shows that platelet-derived DKK1 promotes non-healing in cutaneous leishmaniasis by inducing tolerogenic dendritic cells and Th2/Th1-IL-10 responses.

Renal cancer cells acquire immune surface protein through trogocytosis and horizontal gene transfer

Haley Q. Marcarian, Anutr Sivakoses, Anika M. Arias, Olivia C. Ihedioha, Benjamin R. Lee, Maria Curcio Bishop, Alfred L.M. Bothwell

This paper shows renal cancer cells acquire immune surface proteins and genomic DNA from lymphocytes via trogocytosis, altering their transcriptome and protein expression.

Triple Negative Breast Cancer Cells Acquire Lymphocyte Proteins and Genomic DNA During Trogocytosis with T Cells

Anutr Sivakoses, Haley Q. Marcarian, Anika M. Arias, Allison R. Lam, Olivia C. Ihedioha, Juan A. Santamaria‐Barria, Geoffrey C. Gurtner, Alfred L.M. Bothwell

This study shows TNBC cells acquire CD45 proteins and T cell genomic DNA through trogocytosis, altering their gene expression and expressing CD45 on and inside the cells.
