CLEC4F (C-type lectin domain; family 4, member F; also known as the Kupffer cell receptor and fucose receptor) is an 80 kDa, type II transmembrane glycoprotein member of the C-type lectin superfamily. Mature mouse CLEC4F consists of a 42 amino acid (aa) cytoplasmic domain, a 27 aa transmembrane segment, and a 479 aa extracellular domain (ECD) that contains an extended stalk region plus one carbohydrate recognition domain . Within the ECD, mouse CLEC4F shares 48% and 79% aa sequence identity with human and rat CLEC4F, respectively. The stalk region of CLEC4F is a coiled coil domain that mediates homotrimer formation. CLEC4F is expressed on Kupffer cells in the liver, but not on macrophages in other tissues. CLEC4F preferentially binds galactose and N?acetylgalactosamine in a calcium-dependent manner. Its activity at neutral, but not at acidic pH, suggests a capacity to internalize and release ligands into the endosomal system.

如何通過(guò)流式區(qū)分：肝臟巨噬細(xì)胞和骨髓來(lái)源巨噬細(xì)胞流式區(qū)分圈門策略見(jiàn)下圖。如下是圈門策略。

Flow Cytometry gating schema. a, Representative dot plots showing gating strategy for identifying macrophage populations in the liver. Gates were based on FMOs. Macrophages were defined as live, single cells, expressing CD45, CD11b, and F4/80 and lacking expression of CD3, CD19, CD11c, and Ly6G. Kupffer cells (KC) were distinguished from bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) based on Clec4f expression. Staining is representative of a liver sample from a C57BL/6 mouse. b, Representative FCM gating strategies for detection of YFP+ tumor cells in the liver after iPo injection of PDACYFP cells. Populations shown were gated on single, live cells.

Clodronate Liposomes氯膦酸鹽脂質(zhì)體清除肝臟巨噬細(xì)胞，疾病模型為：門靜脈注射PDACYFP-cells。PDAC是胰腺導(dǎo)管腺癌（Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma）的縮寫(xiě)，屬于胰腺癌中常見(jiàn)且惡性程度高的類型，占胰腺惡性腫瘤的85%-90%。它起源于胰腺導(dǎo)管上皮細(xì)胞，侵襲性強(qiáng)、進(jìn)展迅速，多數(shù)患者確診時(shí)已處于中晚期，5年生存率不足10%。荷蘭Liposoma巨噬細(xì)胞清除劑Clodronate Liposomes見(jiàn)刊于Nature Communications：Kupffer 細(xì)胞可防止小鼠胰腺導(dǎo)管腺癌轉(zhuǎn)移到肝臟。Clec4f可以區(qū)分肝臟巨噬細(xì)胞KF和骨髓來(lái)源巨噬細(xì)胞BMDM嗎？詳細(xì)類容可以見(jiàn)如下文獻(xiàn)。
