IRIS Institutional Research Information System - AIR Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca

IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Milano.

AIR nasce in UNIMI nel 2006 con lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare e conservare le informazioni sulla produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e costituisce di fatto l'Anagrafe della ricerca dell'Ateneo.

The modulation of CD44, VCAM-1 and CD71 expression was analysed by flow cytometry in the 1321N1 astrocytoma cell line in the presence of interleukin-1beta (IL1beta), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) and 1-40 or 25-35 beta-amyloid (Abeta) fragments. The percentage of 1321N1 astrocytoma cell line expressing these markers increased significantly after treatment with TNFalpha or IL1beta. The presence of Abeta 1-40 fragment, alone or in combination with IL1beta, induced an increase in the percentage of cells expressing CD44, but not VCAM-1. However, the concomitant presence of Abeta 1-40 fragment and of IL1beta or TNFalpha caused an increase in the percentage of CD71 positive cells. In contrast, the shorter Abeta 25-35 fragment was always inactive. These results indicates that Abeta 1-40 fragment, in association with cytokines, can activate this astrocyte-derived cell line and add further elements in favour of the hypothesis that beta-amyloid can act as immunological mediator.

1-40 Beta-amyloid protein fragment modulates the expression of CD44 and CD71 on the astrocytoma cell line in the presence of IL1beta and TNFalpha / L. Speciale, S. Ruzzante, E. Calabrese, M.
