High impact information on DCHS1

  • Recent studies in Drosophila melanogaster of the protocadherins Dachsous and Fat suggest that they act as ligand and receptor, respectively, for an intercellular signaling pathway that influences tissue polarity, growth and gene expression, but the basis for signaling downstream of Fat has remained unclear [1].
  • Tissue morphogenesis during development is dependent on activities of the cadherin family of cell-cell adhesion proteins that includes classical cadherins, protocadherins, and atypical cadherins (Fat, Dachsous, and Flamingo) [2].
  • Two separate molecular systems, Dachsous/Fat and Starry night/Frizzled, act independently to confer planar cell polarity [3].
  • The latter six cadherins were expressed in human fibroblasts, and cadherins FIB1 and FIB2 were fibroblast-specific [4].
  • A synthetic peptide of human recombinant interleukin 1 beta (hrIL-1 beta) 165-186, which exhibits biological activity in the human fibroblast assay, was used as an immunizing antigen to obtain a murine monoclonal antibody (MoAb) termed FIB 1 [5].
 

Biological context of DCHS1

  • Expression of mouse dchs1, fjx1, and fat-j suggests conservation of the planar cell polarity pathway identified in Drosophila [6].
  • Parameters for a simplified lung model, used by Branch No. 1, Federal Research Center Institute of Biophysics (FIB-1) and the Mayak Production Association for dose assessment at long times after inhalation of plutonium-containing aerosols, were developed on the basis of joint USTUR and DRMIA data [7].
 

Associations of DCHS1 with chemical compounds

  • Furthermore, FIB 1 recognizes intracellular IL-1 in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells [5].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of DCHS1

  • The MoAb FIB 1 detects the characteristic 17 kDa IL-1 protein in Western blots [5].
