This function of MSCs is attributed to plethora of the expressed immunosuppressive factors, such as galectin-1 (Gal-1), a pleiotropic lectin with robust anti-inflammatory effect. Nevertheless, whether Gal-1 renders or contributes to the immunosuppressive effect of MSCs has not been clearly established. Therefore, this question was the focus of a complex study. METHODS: MSCs were isolated from bone marrows of wild-type and Gal-1 knockout mice and their in vitro anti-proliferative and apoptosis-inducing effects on activated T cells were examined. The in vivo immunosuppressive activity was tested in murine models of type I diabetes and delayed-type hypersensitivity. RESULTS: Both Gal-1-expressing and -deficient MSCs inhibited T-cell proliferation. Inhibition of T-cell proliferation by MSCs was mediated by nitric oxide but not PD-L1 or Gal-1. In contrast, MSC-derived Gal-1 triggered apoptosis in activated T cells that were directly coupled to MSCs, representing a low proportion of the T-cell population. Furthermore, absence of Gal-1 in MSCs did not affect their in vivo immunosuppressive effect. CONCLUSIONS: These results serve as evidence that Gal-1 does not play a role in the systemic immunosuppressive effect of MSCs. However, a local contribution of Gal-1 to modulation of T-cell response by direct cell-to-cell interaction cannot be excluded. Notably, this study serves a good model to understand how the specificity of a pleiotropic protein depends on the type and localization of the producing effector cell and its target.}, year = {2016}, eissn = {1477-2566}, pages = {360-370}, orcid-numbers = {Suhajdáné Urbán, Veronika/0000-0003-0393-5891; Szebeni, Gábor/0000-0002-6998-5632; Uher, Ferenc/0000-0001-7997-6142; Monostori, Éva/0000-0002-7442-3562} } @article{MTMT:2993079, title = {Foldameric probes for membrane interactions by induced β-sheet folding}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2993079}, author = {Hegedüs, Zsófia and Makra, Ildikó and Imre, Norbert and Hetényi, Anasztázia and Mándity, István and Monostori, Éva and Martinek, Tamás}, doi = {10.1039/C5CC09257D}, journal-iso = {CHEM COMMUN}, journal = {CHEMICAL COMMUNICATIONS}, volume = {52}, unique-id = {2993079}, issn = {1359-7345}, abstract = {Design strategies were devised for alpha/beta-peptide foldameric analogues of the antiangiogenic anginex with the goal of mimicking the diverse structural features from the unordered conformation to a folded beta-sheet in response to membrane interactions.

In this work, the de novo designed betabellin-14 β-sheet has been used as a template, and α→β residue mutations were carried out in the hydrophobic core (positions 12 and 19). β-Residues with diverse structural properties were utilized: Homologous β3-amino acids, (1R,2S)-2-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid (ACPC), (1R,2S)-2-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid (ACHC), (1R,2S)-2-aminocyclohex-3-enecarboxylic acid (ACEC), and (1S,2S,3R,5S)-2-amino-6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]heptane-3-carboxylic acid (ABHC). Six α/β-peptidic chains were constructed in both monomeric and disulfide-linked dimeric forms. Structural studies based on circular dichroism spectroscopy, the analysis of NMR chemical shifts, and molecular dynamics simulations revealed that dimerization induced β-sheet formation in the 64-residue foldameric systems. Core replacement with (1R,2S)-ACHC was found to be unique among the β-amino acid building blocks studied because it was simultaneously able to maintain the interstrand hydrogen-bonding network and to fit sterically into the hydrophobic interior of the β-sandwich. The novel β-sandwich model containing 25% unnatural building blocks afforded protein-like thermal denaturation behavior. Dissolving sandwiches: A water-soluble β-sandwich has been constructed by using cyclic β-amino acids in the hydrophobic core (see figure). The structural stability is highly dependent on the side-chain, and the destructuring effects of the β-residues could be minimized by using (1R,2S)-2-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid.
