SHPS-1 Induces Aggregation of Ba/F3 Pro-B Cells Via an Interaction with CD47
Bibliographic record
Abstract
SHPS-1 (SH2-domain bearing protein tyrosine phosphatase (SHP) substrate-1), a member of the inhibitory-receptor superfamily that is abundantly expressed in macrophages and neural tissue, appears to regulate intracellular signaling events downstream of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases and integrin-extracellular matrix molecule interactions. To investigate the function of SHPS-1 in a hematopoietic cell line, SHPS-1 was expressed in Ba/F3 cells, an IL-3-dependent pro-B-cell line that lacks endogenous SHPS-1 protein. Interestingly, expression of either SHPS-1, or a mutant lacking the intracellular domain of SHPS-1 (DeltaCT SHPS-1), resulted in the rapid formation of macroscopic Ba/F3 cell aggregates. As the integrin-associated protein/CD47 was shown to be a SHPS-1 ligand in neural cells, we investigated whether CD47 played a role in the aggregation of SHPS-1-expressing Ba/F3 cells. In support of this idea, aggregate formation was inhibited by an anti-CD47 Ab. Furthermore, erythrocytes from control, but not from CD47-deficient mice, were able to form rosettes on SHPS-1-expressing Ba/F3 cells. Because erythrocytes do not express integrins, this result suggested that SHPS-1-CD47 interactions can take place in the absence of a CD47-integrin association. We also present evidence that the amino-terminal Ig domain of SHPS-1 mediates the interaction with CD47. Although SHPS-1-CD47 binding likely triggers bidirectional intracellular signaling processes, these results demonstrate that this interaction can also mediate cell-cell adhesion.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
