Disease relevance of EFNB2

 

High impact information on EFNB2

  • The recently characterized crystal structure of the complex formed between the ligand-binding domain of EphB2 and the ectodomain of its binding partner ephrin-B2 provides an insight into the recognition and signal transduction mechanisms of this large multifunctional family of surface receptors [6].
  • A three-day infusion of the ectodomain of either EphB2 or ephrin-B2 into the lateral ventricle disrupted migration of neuroblasts and increased cell proliferation [7].
  • Here, we report that the EphB4 receptor can behave as a tumour suppressor in a mouse xenograft model of breast cancer when stimulated by its ligand, ephrin-B2 [8].
  • These results identify Lerk2 and HtkL as potential determinants of segmental pattern in the peripheral nervous system [9].
  • Interestingly, two cell lines expressing ephrin B2 were not susceptible for rNiV-EGFP, indicating that additional factors are clearly required for full NiV replication [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of EFNB2

 

Biological context of EFNB2

 

Anatomical context of EFNB2

  • In transgenic livers, we showed that DLL4, active Notch4, and ephrin B2 were gradually up-regulated within the hepatocarcinoma progression and expressed on tumor sinusoidal endothelial cells [14].
  • Clustered soluble HTKL stimulated the proliferation of sorted HTK+ cord blood cells and a hematopoietic cell line, UT-7/EPO from which HTK was isolated [16].
  • Using RNA fingerprinting, we detected increased expression of Lerk-5 mRNA in human melanocytes as a response to the tumor-promoting drug 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, which suggests a possible role of the Lerks in melanoma tumorigenesis and progression [4].
  • Our group has shown that EphB and the ephrin-B subfamilies are coexpressed in human colorectal cancer, and ephrin-B2 is expressed at higher levels in human colorectal cancer than in adjacent normal mucosa [15].
  • Here, we show expression of EphB6 in human thymus, as well as the expression of ephrin-B2 in both human and mouse thymus [17].
 

Associations of EFNB2 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of EFNB2

  • Ephrin-B1 and ephrin-B2 proteins are predominantly found in the developing plexiform layers, suggesting a role in the development of intraretinal connections [23].
  • Expression profile of EFNB1, EFNB2, two ligands of EPHB2 in human gastric cancer [1].
  • Taken together, these data indicate that the expression of EPHB6, EFNB2, and EFNB3 may serve as prognostic indicators of favorable NBs [24].
  • These findings suggest the involvement of HTK-HTKL system in the proliferation of HTK+ hematopoietic progenitor cells in the hematopoietic environment [16].
  • Moreover, when EphB4 and ephrin-B2 were expressed in neighbouring Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts, VASP and Mena co-accumulated with activated Eph receptors at protrusions formed by EphB4-expressing cells [25].
