The expression pattern of the ITIM-bearing lectin CLECSF6 in neutrophils suggests a key role in the control of inflammation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In our study of the modulation of the expression of inflammation-related genes in neutrophils, we have found a gene called CLECSF6 (C-type lectin superfamily 6). CLECSF6 expresses two mRNA species at low levels in resting neutrophils. Here, we describe for the first time the sequence of the short mRNA version. It lacks amino acids that are likely to affect the functionality of its protein product. GM-CSF, IL-3, IL-4, and IL-13 caused an accumulation of the short CLECSF6 mRNA in neutrophils. The surface expression of the CLECSF6 protein was reduced by TNF-alpha, IL-1alpha, LPS, and Matrigel. CLECSF6 bears the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM) involved in signal transduction resulting in the inhibition of leukocyte activation. We propose that some neutrophil activators modulate the expression of CLECSF6 at the mRNA (GM-CSF, IL-3, IL-4, and IL-13) or protein (TNF-alpha, IL-1alpha, LPS, and Matrigel) levels in ways that block ITIM-based transduction of anti-inflammatory signals and therefore promote inflammation.

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.
