It was found that DAF were expressed in the adenomas and adenocarcinoma of colorectal tissues. The release of DAF in the stool of the patients was also detectable. It increased more significantly in the stool of patients with colorectal cancer than other gastrointestinal cancer. Its detection by ELISA method may render a good test for the noninvasive diagnosis of colorectal cancer. It can be concluded that DAF is expressed extensively in colorectal cancer. And the detection of DAF released in the stool of colorectal cancer patients may be a good noninvasive method for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer.展开更多

Here we show that GPI-AP deficient murine clones produce on average 18 and 181-fold more IL-2 mRNA and protein, respectively, upon T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation, in a cell-intrinsic fashion. This phenotype is formally attributed to a mutation within the transferase complex that predicates the initial step in GPI-anchor biosynthesis. Conditional disruption of the transferase complex enabled the generation of primary GPI-AP deficient CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells, which produce on average 10- and 23-fold more IL-2 mRNA and protein, respectively, upon TCR stimulation. Conditional disruption of the transamidase complex yields GPI-sufficient, GPI-AP deficient primary CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells. TCR stimulation of these cells yields levels of IL-2 mRNA and protein ranging from 1 - 3 and 3-fold, respectively, of controls. These results provide the first evidence of a profound impact of GPI in the regulation of TCR signalling.展开更多
