Inflammatory processes are often associated with an increased production of serotonin, which operates by activating specific receptors. However, the functional role of serotonin receptors in regulation of dendritic cell functions is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that expression of serotonin receptor 5-HT7 (5-HT7TR) as well as its downstream effector Cdc42 is upregulated in dendritic cells upon maturation. Although dendritic cell maturation was independent of 5-HT7TR, receptor stimulation affected dendritic cell morphology through Cdc42-mediated signaling. In addition, basal activity of 5-HT7TR was required for the proper expression of the chemokine receptor CCR7, which is a key factor that controls dendritic cell migration. Consistent with this, we observed that 5-HT7TR enhances chemotactic motility of dendritic cells in vitro by modulating their directionality and migration velocity. Accordingly, migration of dendritic cells in murine colon explants was abolished after pharmacological receptor inhibition. Our results indicate that there is a crucial role for 5-HT7TR-Cdc42-mediated signaling in the regulation of dendritic cell morphology and motility, suggesting that 5-HT7TR could be a new target for treatment of a variety of inflammatory and immune disorders."}],"article_processing_charge":"No","page":"2866 - 2880","author":[{"first_name":"Katrin","last_name":"Holst","full_name":"Holst, Katrin"},{"full_name":"Guseva, Daria","last_name":"Guseva","first_name":"Daria"},{"full_name":"Schindler, Susann","first_name":"Susann","last_name":"Schindler"},{"first_name":"Michael K","orcid":"0000-0002-6620-9179","id":"41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Sixt","full_name":"Sixt, Michael K"},{"full_name":"Braun, Armin","first_name":"Armin","last_name":"Braun"},{"first_name":"Himpriya","last_name":"Chopra","full_name":"Chopra, Himpriya"},{"last_name":"Pabst","first_name":"Oliver","full_name":"Pabst, Oliver"},{"last_name":"Ponimaskin","first_name":"Evgeni","full_name":"Ponimaskin, Evgeni"}],"issue":"15","_id":"477","external_id":{"isi":["000359782100013"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"intvolume":"       128","publist_id":"7343","date_updated":"2025-09-23T14:16:38Z","volume":128,"year":"2015","publisher":"Company of Biologists","month":"06","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.167999"},{"issue":"1","_id":"2214","publist_id":"4756","ddc":["570"],"intvolume":"         9","oa":1,"has_accepted_license":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"external_id":{"isi":["000330283100061"]},"article_processing_charge":"No","department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"abstract":[{"text":"A hallmark of immune cell trafficking is directional guidance via gradients of soluble or surface bound chemokines. Vascular endothelial cells produce, transport and deposit either their own chemokines or chemokines produced by the underlying stroma. Endothelial heparan sulfate (HS) was suggested to be a critical scaffold for these chemokine pools, but it is unclear how steep chemokine gradients are sustained between the lumenal and ablumenal aspects of blood vessels. Addressing this question by semi-quantitative immunostaining of HS moieties around blood vessels with a pan anti-HS IgM mAb, we found a striking HS enrichment in the basal lamina of resting and inflamed post capillary skin venules, as well as in high endothelial venules (HEVs) of lymph nodes. Staining of skin vessels with a glycocalyx probe further suggested that their lumenal glycocalyx contains much lower HS density than their basolateral extracellular matrix (ECM). This polarized HS pattern was observed also in isolated resting and inflamed microvascular dermal cells. Notably, progressive skin inflammation resulted in massive ECM deposition and in further HS enrichment around skin post capillary venules and their associated pericytes. Inflammation-dependent HS enrichment was not compromised in mice deficient in the main HS degrading enzyme, heparanase. Our results suggest that the blood vasculature patterns steep gradients of HS scaffolds between their lumenal and basolateral endothelial aspects, and that inflammatory processes can further enrich the HS content nearby inflamed vessels. We propose that chemokine gradients between the lumenal and ablumenal sides of vessels could be favored by these sharp HS scaffold gradients.","lang":"eng"}],"pubrep_id":"433","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0085699","author":[{"full_name":"Stoler Barak, Liat","first_name":"Liat","last_name":"Stoler Barak"},{"first_name":"Christine","id":"3356F664-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Moussion","full_name":"Moussion, Christine"},{"last_name":"Shezen","first_name":"Elias","full_name":"Shezen, Elias"},{"full_name":"Hatzav, Miki","last_name":"Hatzav","first_name":"Miki"},{"id":"41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Michael K","orcid":"0000-0002-6620-9179","last_name":"Sixt","full_name":"Sixt, Michael K"},{"first_name":"Ronen","last_name":"Alon","full_name":"Alon, Ronen"}],"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0085699","publisher":"Public Library of Science","year":"2014","month":"01","volume":9,"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:33Z","file":[{"file_id":"4646","creator":"system","content_type":"application/pdf","file_name":"IST-2016-433-v1+1_journal.pone.0085699.pdf","relation":"main_file","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:07:48Z","checksum":"84a8033bda2e07e39405f5acc85f4eca","file_size":12634775,"access_level":"open_access","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:33Z"}],"date_updated":"2025-09-29T11:30:42Z","publication":"PLoS One","publication_status":"published","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","status":"public","date_published":"2014-01-22T00:00:00Z","ec_funded":1,"article_number":"e85699","title":"Blood vessels pattern heparan sulfate gradients between their apical and basolateral aspects","oa_version":"Published Version","quality_controlled":"1","type":"journal_article","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)"},"scopus_import":"1","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:56:22Z","day":"22","isi":1,"citation":{"mla":"Stoler Barak, Liat, et al. “Blood Vessels Pattern Heparan Sulfate Gradients between Their Apical and Basolateral Aspects.” <i>PLoS One</i>, vol. 9, no. 1, e85699, Public Library of Science, 2014, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0085699\">10.1371/journal.pone.0085699</a>.","chicago":"Stoler Barak, Liat, Christine Moussion, Elias Shezen, Miki Hatzav, Michael K Sixt, and Ronen Alon. “Blood Vessels Pattern Heparan Sulfate Gradients between Their Apical and Basolateral Aspects.” <i>PLoS One</i>.

Although our knowledge of the principle steps in recombination and its machinery is well advanced, homology search, the critical step of exploring the genome for homologous sequences to enable recombination, has remained mostly enigmatic. However, recent methodological advances have provided considerable new insights into this fundamental step in recombination that can be integrated into a mechanistic model. These advances emphasize the importance of genomic proximity and nuclear organization for homology search and the critical role of homology search mediators in this process. They also aid our understanding of how homology search might lead to unwanted and potentially disease-promoting recombination events.","lang":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"author":[{"orcid":"0000-0003-2856-3369","first_name":"Jörg","id":"3F0587C8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Renkawitz","full_name":"Renkawitz, Jörg"},{"full_name":"Lademann, Claudio","last_name":"Lademann","first_name":"Claudio"},{"first_name":"Stefan","last_name":"Jentsch","full_name":"Jentsch, Stefan"}],"page":"369 - 383"},{"doi":"10.1016/j.febslet.2014.01.009","abstract":[{"text":"MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that play important regulatory roles in many cellular pathways. MiRNAs associate with members of the Argonaute protein family and bind to partially complementary sequences on mRNAs and induce translational repression or mRNA decay. Using deep sequencing and Northern blotting, we characterized miRNA expression in wild type and miR-155-deficient dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages. Analysis of different stimuli (LPS, LDL, eLDL, oxLDL) reveals a direct influence of miR-155 on the expression levels of other miRNAs. For example, miR-455 is negatively regulated in miR-155-deficient cells possibly due to inhibition of the transcription factor C/EBPbeta by miR-155. Based on our comprehensive data sets, we propose a model of hierarchical miRNA expression dominated by miR-155 in DCs and macrophages.","lang":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","page":"632 - 640","author":[{"full_name":"Dueck, Anne","first_name":"Anne","last_name":"Dueck"},{"full_name":"Eichner, Alexander","last_name":"Eichner","first_name":"Alexander","id":"4DFA52AE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"full_name":"Sixt, Michael K","first_name":"Michael K","id":"41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-6620-9179","last_name":"Sixt"},{"full_name":"Meister, Gunter","first_name":"Gunter","last_name":"Meister"}],"_id":"2242","issue":"4","external_id":{"isi":["000331115700016"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"intvolume":"       588","publist_id":"4714","date_updated":"2025-09-29T11:19:23Z","volume":588,"year":"2014","month":"02","publisher":"Elsevier","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.febslet.2014.01.009","oa_version":"None","title":"A miR-155-dependent microRNA hierarchy in dendritic cell maturation and macrophage activation","date_published":"2014-02-14T00:00:00Z","quality_controlled":"1","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0014-5793"]},"status":"public","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","publication_status":"published","publication":"FEBS Letters","citation":{"short":"A.

The dynamic regulation of epithelial adhesion plays a decisive role in the life cycle of LCs. It controls whether LCs remain immature and sessile within the epidermis or mature and egress to initiate immune responses. So far, the molecular machinery regulating epithelial adhesion molecules during LC maturation remains elusive. Here, we generated pure populations of immature human LCs in vitro to systematically probe for gene-expression changes during LC maturation. LCs down-regulate a set of epithelial genes including E-cadherin, while they upregulate the mesenchymal marker N-cadherin known to facilitate cell migration. In addition, N-cadherin is constitutively expressed by monocyte-derived DCs known to exhibit characteristics of both inflammatory-type and interstitial/dermal DCs. Moreover, the transcription factors ZEB1 and ZEB2 (ZEB is zinc-finger E-box-binding homeobox) are upregulated in migratory LCs. ZEB1 and ZEB2 have been shown to induce epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and invasive behavior in cancer cells undergoing metastasis. Our results provide the first hint that the molecular EMT machinery might facilitate LC mobilization. Moreover, our study suggests that N-cadherin plays a role during DC migration.","lang":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"external_id":{"isi":["000331901200025"]},"publist_id":"5185","intvolume":"        44","issue":"2","_id":"1910","date_updated":"2025-09-29T12:26:01Z","month":"02","publisher":"Wiley-Blackwell","year":"2014","volume":44,"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/eji.201343681","oa_version":"None","title":"Langerhans cell maturation is accompanied by induction of N-cadherin and the transcriptional regulators of epithelial-mesenchymal transition ZEB1/2","date_published":"2014-02-01T00:00:00Z","publication_status":"published","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","publication":"European Journal of Immunology","status":"public","acknowledgement":"FWF.

Yet, little is known about the actual process of docking to cell receptors and transport dynamics after internalization. Here we performed single-particle studies of folic acid (FA) mediated CNT binding to human carcinoma cells and their transport inside the cytosol. In particular, we employed molecular recognition force spectroscopy, an atomic force microscopy based method, to visualize and quantify docking of FA functionalized CNTs to FA binding receptors in terms of binding probability and binding force. We then traced individual fluorescently labeled, FA functionalized CNTs after specific uptake, and created a dynamic 'roadmap' that clearly showed trajectories of directed diffusion and areas of nanotube confinement in the cytosol. Our results demonstrate the potential of a single-molecule approach for investigation of drug-delivery vehicles and their targeting capacity.","lang":"eng"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","author":[{"last_name":"Lamprecht","first_name":"Constanze","full_name":"Lamprecht, Constanze"},{"full_name":"Plochberger, Birgit","last_name":"Plochberger","first_name":"Birgit"},{"full_name":"Ruprecht, Verena","orcid":"0000-0003-4088-8633","id":"4D71A03A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Verena","last_name":"Ruprecht"},{"full_name":"Wieser, Stefan","first_name":"Stefan","orcid":"0000-0002-2670-2217","id":"355AA5A0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Wieser"},{"first_name":"Christian","last_name":"Rankl","full_name":"Rankl, Christian"},{"last_name":"Heister","first_name":"Elena","full_name":"Heister, Elena"},{"full_name":"Unterauer, Barbara","first_name":"Barbara","last_name":"Unterauer"},{"full_name":"Brameshuber, Mario","first_name":"Mario","last_name":"Brameshuber"},{"full_name":"Danzberger, Jürgen","first_name":"Jürgen","last_name":"Danzberger"},{"full_name":"Lukanov, Petar","first_name":"Petar","last_name":"Lukanov"},{"last_name":"Flahaut","first_name":"Emmanuel","full_name":"Flahaut, Emmanuel"},{"full_name":"Schütz, Gerhard","last_name":"Schütz","first_name":"Gerhard"},{"first_name":"Peter","last_name":"Hinterdorfer","full_name":"Hinterdorfer, Peter"},{"full_name":"Ebner, Andreas","first_name":"Andreas","last_name":"Ebner"}],"_id":"1925","issue":"12","external_id":{"isi":["000332669300017"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","intvolume":"        25","oa":1,"publist_id":"5169","ddc":["570"],"file":[{"checksum":"df4e03d225a19179e7790f6d87a12332","file_size":3804152,"date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:21Z","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"2014_Nanotechnology_Lamprecht.pdf","relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"dernst","file_id":"7856","date_created":"2020-05-15T09:21:19Z"}],"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:21Z","date_updated":"2025-09-29T12:14:47Z","volume":25,"month":"03","year":"2014","publisher":"IOP Publishing","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1088/0957-4484/25/12/125704"},{"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-62703-426-5_14","pmid":1,"alternative_title":["Methods in Molecular Biology"],"publisher":"Humana Press","year":"2013","month":"04","volume":1013,"series_title":"MIMB","date_updated":"2024-10-09T21:02:37Z","intvolume":"      1013","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"external_id":{"pmid":["23625502"]},"_id":"10900","author":[{"full_name":"Weber, Michele","last_name":"Weber","id":"3A3FC708-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Michele"},{"full_name":"Sixt, Michael K","orcid":"0000-0002-6620-9179","first_name":"Michael K","id":"41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Sixt"}],"page":"215-226","article_processing_charge":"No","abstract":[{"text":"Leukocyte migration through the interstitial space is crucial for the maintenance of tolerance and immunity. The main cues for leukocyte trafficking are chemokines thought to directionally guide these cells towards their targets. However, model systems that facilitate quantification of chemokine-guided leukocyte migration in vivo are uncommon. Here we describe an ex vivo crawl-in assay using explanted mouse ears that allows the visualization of chemokine-dependent dendritic cell (DC) motility in the dermal interstitium in real time. We present methods for the preparation of mouse ear sheets and their use in multidimensional confocal imaging experiments to monitor and analyze the directional migration of fluorescently labelled DCs through the dermis and into afferent lymphatic vessels. The assay provides a more physiological approach to study leukocyte migration than in vitro three-dimensional (3D) or 2-dimensional (2D) migration assays such as collagen gels and transwell assays.","lang":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"doi":"10.1007/978-1-62703-426-5_14","day":"03","scopus_import":"1","date_created":"2022-03-21T07:47:41Z","corr_author":"1","type":"book_chapter","acknowledgement":"We would like to thank Alexander Eichner and Ingrid de Vries for discussion and critical reading of the manuscript, and Mary Frank for assistance with the recording of videos and images in Fig. 1.

Nevertheless, the concept still lacks direct experimental confirmation in vivo.

Quantitative imaging reveals depots of CCL21 within lymphatic endothelial cells and steeply decaying gradients within the perilymphatic interstitium. These gradients match the migratory patterns of the dendritic cells, which directionally approach vessels from a distance of up to 90-micrometers. Interstitial CCL21 is immobilized to heparan sulfates, and its experimental delocalization or swamping the endogenous gradients abolishes directed migration.

This might be due to CCL21 that delocalizes upon deletion of the CCL21-binding podoplanin from medullar tFRC to cortex areas.

Most miRNAs are processed from hairpin-structured precursors by the consecutive action of the RNase III enzymes Drosha and Dicer. However, processing of miR-451 is Dicer independent and cleavage is mediated by the endonuclease Ago2. Here we have characterized miR-451 sequence and structure requirements for processing as well as sorting of miRNAs into different Ago proteins. Pre-miR-451 appears to be optimized for Ago2 cleavage and changes result in reduced processing. In addition, we show that the mature miR-451 only associates with Ago2 suggesting that mature miRNAs are not exchanged between different members of the Ago protein family. Based on cloning and deep sequencing of endogenous miRNAs associated with Ago1-3, we do not find evidence for miRNA sorting in human cells. However, Ago identity appears to influence the length of some miRNAs, while others remain unaffected."}],"pubrep_id":"383","doi":"10.1093/nar/gks705","author":[{"full_name":"Dueck, Anne","first_name":"Anne","last_name":"Dueck"},{"full_name":"Ziegler, Christian","first_name":"Christian","last_name":"Ziegler"},{"last_name":"Eichner","first_name":"Alexander","id":"4DFA52AE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Eichner, Alexander"},{"first_name":"Eugène","last_name":"Berezikov","full_name":"Berezikov, Eugène"},{"full_name":"Meister, Gunter","first_name":"Gunter","last_name":"Meister"}],"page":"9850 - 9862","type":"journal_article","tmp":{"short":"CC BY-NC (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by_nc.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0)"},"scopus_import":"1","day":"01","date_created":"2018-12-11T12:00:29Z","isi":1,"corr_author":"1","citation":{"ama":"Dueck A, Ziegler C, Eichner A, Berezikov E, Meister G.

We have used this model to study platelets, megakaryocytes and melanoblasts and we provide evidence that Lifeact-GFP is a useful reporter in these cell types ex vivo. In the case of platelets and megakaryocytes, these cells are not transfectable by traditional methods, so conditional activation of Lifeact allows the study of actin dynamics in these cells live. We studied melanoblasts in native skin explants from embryos, allowing the visualization of live actin dynamics during cytokinesis and migration. Our study revealed that melanoblasts lacking the small GTPase Rac1 show a delay in the formation of new pseudopodia following cytokinesis that accounts for the previously reported cytokinesis delay in these cells. Thus, through use of this mouse model, we were able to gain insights into the actin dynamics of cells that could only previously be studied using fixed specimens or following isolation from their native tissue environment.","lang":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"author":[{"full_name":"Schachtner, Hannah","last_name":"Schachtner","first_name":"Hannah"},{"full_name":"Li, Ang","last_name":"Li","first_name":"Ang"},{"first_name":"David","last_name":"Stevenson","full_name":"Stevenson, David"},{"first_name":"Simon","last_name":"Calaminus","full_name":"Calaminus, Simon"},{"last_name":"Thomas","first_name":"Steven","full_name":"Thomas, Steven"},{"last_name":"Watson","first_name":"Steve","full_name":"Watson, Steve"},{"last_name":"Sixt","id":"41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Michael K","orcid":"0000-0002-6620-9179","full_name":"Sixt, Michael K"},{"full_name":"Wedlich Söldner, Roland","last_name":"Wedlich Söldner","first_name":"Roland"},{"full_name":"Strathdee, Douglas","first_name":"Douglas","last_name":"Strathdee"},{"full_name":"Machesky, Laura","last_name":"Machesky","first_name":"Laura"}],"page":"923 - 929","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3930012/"}],"year":"2012","month":"11","publisher":"Elsevier","volume":91,"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejcb.2012.04.002","pmid":1,"date_updated":"2025-09-30T07:54:24Z"},{"volume":336,"publisher":"American Association for the Advancement of Science","month":"04","year":"2012","pmid":1,"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1126/science.336.6077.32","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.1126/science.336.6077.32"}],"popular_science":"1","date_updated":"2025-05-20T07:14:51Z","external_id":{"pmid":["22491839"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"oa":1,"intvolume":"       336","publist_id":"3516","_id":"3167","issue":"6077","page":"32-34","author":[{"id":"3A3FC708-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Michele","last_name":"Weber","full_name":"Weber, Michele"}],"doi":"10.1126/science.336.6077.32","department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","article_type":"letter_note","date_created":"2018-12-11T12:01:47Z","day":"06","type":"journal_article","citation":{"ama":"Weber M.
