Semaphorin3A (sema3A) inhibits the activity of B and T cells in autoimmune diseases such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). We have now found that CD72 functions as a novel sema3A binding and signal-transducing receptor. These functions of CD72 are independent of the known sema3A receptor neuropilin-1 (NRP-1). We find that sema3A induces the phosphorylation of CD72 on tyrosine residues and the association of CD72 with SHP-1 and SHP-2. In contrast, sema4D/CD100 inhibits these functions. sema3A signals mediated by CD72, inhibit the phosphorylation of STAT-4 and HDAC-1 and induce the phosphorylation of p38-MAPK and PKC-theta in B-cells derived B-lymphoblastoid (BLCL) cells lacking NRP-1 expression, and in primary B-cells isolated from either healthy donors or SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) patients. We have also generated a modified truncated sema3A (T-sema3A) which cannot signal via NRP-1 yet still activates inhibitory CD72 signaling. We propose that T-sema3A may have potential as a possible therapeutic for autoimmune diseases such as SLE. One Sentence SummaryCD72 found as a novel sema3A receptor transduces inhibitory signals in Bcells. A modified sema3A can be used to treat autoimmunity.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
