Discoidin Domain Receptor 1 Controls Growth and Adhesion of Mesangial Cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Various types of collagen are known as modulators of mesangial cell proliferation. Here the function of the collagen-binding tyrosine kinase receptor discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) in mesangial cells is investigated. The expression of DDR1 in the mouse kidney is confirmed by Northern analysis. In primary mesangial cells isolated from wild-type and DDR1-null mice, tyrosine phosphorylation in response to collagen-stimulation, adhesion to collagen, and cellular proliferation were measured. DDR1 phosphorylation was induced after overnight incubation of cells with type I collagen. Compared with wild-type cells, the adhesion of DDR1-null cells was drastically reduced. In contrast, DDR1-knockout cells showed significantly enhanced proliferation compared with wild-type cells. Both effects were largely independent of the collagen-binding alpha1/beta1 integrin function. This study found that the increased proliferation rate of DDR1-null cells is caused by a constitutive upregulation of p42/p44 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) activity. This is the first evidence indicating that DDR1 could be involved in the proliferative stage of renal disorders.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
