Disease relevance of ARL4C

  • A total of 157 postmenopausal women aged over 60 years with osteoporosis were divided into five groups according to their postural deformities: round back (RB, n=41), hollow round back (HRB, n=33), whole kyphosis (WK, n=40), lower acute kyphosis (LAK, n=18), and normal posture (NP, n=25) [1].
  • Human LAK-sensitive K-562; and LAK-resistant myeloid leukemia cell lines (DAMI, HL-60 and Meg-01) as well as 6 LAK-resistant myeloid leukemia patient samples were utilized [2].
  • Summary: IL-2 plus autogeneic LAK cells can be safely administered intracavitary to treat high grade primary brain tumors with limited toxicity within the central nervous system [3].
 

High impact information on ARL4C

  • A role for natural killer (NK)- and LAK-cell-mediated killing is suggested because IL-2-primed peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) treated with Thal/IMiDs demonstrated significantly increased lysis of MM cell lines [4].
  • However, 2 of the lymphoma-derived Ig's (ARL-7 and ARL-14) bound strongly to non-HIV-infected cells of various tissue origins [5].
  • Here we define the sequence and structural determinants that propagate information across the protein and identify them in all of the Arf family proteins other than Arl6 and Arl4/Arl7 [6].
  • This data is consistent with a model in which ARL7 is involved in transport between a perinuclear compartment and the plasma membrane apparently linked to the ABCA1-mediated cholesterol secretion pathway [7].
  • ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF)-like 7 (ARL7) is induced by cholesterol loading and participates in apolipoprotein AI-dependent cholesterol export [7].
 

Anatomical context of ARL4C

  • Moreover, subcellular distribution of mutant and wild type ARL7-enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) supports that ARL7 may be involved in a vesicular transport step between a perinuclear compartment and the plasma membrane [7].
  • Here, we identify ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF)-like 7 (ARL7) as the only ARF- and ARL-family member whose mRNA-expression is induced by liver X-receptor/retinoid X-receptor agonists or cholesterol loading in human macrophages [7].
  • We have developed an aggressive treatment program that utilizes low doses of interleukin-2 (IL-2) combined with ex vivo activated killer cells (LAK) infused via an indwelling catheter placed into the surgical resection cavity [3].
 

Associations of ARL4C with chemical compounds

  • Therefore, we investigated the effect of ARL7 over-expression on the cholesterol secretory pathway [7].
