    <p>Balb-C mice were innocultaed with 1x10<sup>6</sup> CT26 or CT26-GD2 cell mixed in matrigel. 10 days post tumour inoculation, mice were sub-lethally irradiated (200 rads) and two weeks post tumour injection, mice were intravenously transplanted with a total of 1.5x10<sup>6</sup> transduced splenocytes or non transduced controls by tail vein injection. Wild type CT26 were used as antigen negative controls (a,c) whereas CT26 鈥揋D2 tumors treated with untransduced T cells (b) did not regress whilst CT26-GD2 tumors challenged with CAR T cells regressed. Each line represents one mouse.</p

    <p>The SAR codon-optimized cassette was taken further and compared with the original cassette without iCasp9. (a) Expression of the CAR was unchanged. Depletion is shown by facs after addition of CID. The function of cassettes with and without iCasp9 were assessed by (b) Killing (c) IFN-纬 release and (d) IL-2 release. Data shown as means +/-SEM from 4 independent experiments with different donors.</p

    Removal of FcR binding motifs in IgG1 spacer.

    <p>(a) amino acid sequence of the wild type (top) and mutated (PVAA) CH2 regions responsible for Fc纬R binding. (b) flow staining with anti-Fc antibody to show comparable level of expression of receptor with or without the PVAA mutation. Identical CARs with and without PVAA were compared side by side in terms of cytotoxicity against GD2 engineered SupT1 and GD2 negative wild type SipT1 cells (c), cytotoxicity against GD2 positive Lan1 cells and FcR纬 positive THP-1 cells (d), and IL-1尾 release on culture with THP-1 cells (e). Data shown as means +/-SEM from 4 independent experiments with different donors.</p

    The CELF1 RNA-Binding Protein Regulates Decay of Signal Recognition Particle mRNAs and Limits Secretion in Mouse Myoblasts

    No full text
    <div><p>We previously identified several mRNAs encoding components of the secretory pathway, including signal recognition particle (SRP) subunit mRNAs, among transcripts associated with the RNA-binding protein CELF1. Through immunoprecipitation of RNAs crosslinked to CELF1 in myoblasts and <i>in vitro</i> binding assays using recombinant CELF1, we now provide evidence that CELF1 directly binds the mRNAs encoding each of the subunits of the SRP. Furthermore, we determined the half-lives of the <i>Srp</i> transcripts in control and CELF1 knockdown myoblasts. Our results indicate CELF1 is a destabilizer of at least five of the six <i>Srp</i> transcripts and that the relative abundance of the SRP proteins is out of balance when CELF1 is depleted. CELF1 knockdown myoblasts exhibit altered secretion of a luciferase reporter protein and are impaired in their ability to migrate and close a wound, consistent with a defect in the secreted extracellular matrix. Importantly, similar defects in wound healing are observed when SRP subunit imbalance is induced by over-expression of SRP68. Our studies support the existence of an RNA regulon containing <i>Srp</i> mRNAs that is controlled by CELF1. One implication is that altered function of CELF1 in myotonic dystrophy may contribute to changes in the extracellular matrix of affected muscle through defects in secretion.</p></div
