Supplementary Legends for Figures 1-4, Table 1 from Human Renal Cancer Cells Express a Novel Membrane-Bound Interleukin-15 that Induces, in Response to the Soluble Interleukin-15 Receptor α Chain, Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition

Although interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a powerful immunomodulatory factor that has been proposed for cancer immunotherapy, its intratumoral expression may be correlated with tumor progression and/or poor clinical outcome. Therefore, neoplasias potentially sensitive to immunotherapy should be checked for their IL-15 expression and function before choosing immunotherapy protocols. Primary human renal cancer cells (RCC) express a novel form of membrane-bound IL-15 (mb-IL-15), which displays three major original properties: (a) It is expressed as a functional membrane homodimer of 27 kDa, (b) it is shed in the extracellular environment by the metalloproteases ADAM17 and ADAM10, and (c) its stimulation by soluble IL-15 receptor α (s-IL-15Rα) chain triggers a complex reverse signal (mitogen-activated protein kinases, FAK, pMLC) necessary and sufficient to ~induce epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation (EMT), a crucial process in tumor progression whose induction is unprecedented for IL-15. In these cells, complete EMT is characterized by a dynamic reorganization of the cytoskeleton with the subsequent generation of a mesenchymal/contractile phenotype (α-SMA and vimentin networks) and the loss of the epithelial markers E-cadherin and ZO-1. The retrosignaling functions are, however, hindered through an unprecedented cytokine/receptor interaction of mb-IL-15 with membrane-associated IL-15Rα subunit that tunes its signaling potential competing with low concentrations of the s-IL-15Rα chain. Thus, human RCC express an IL-15/IL-15R system, which displays unique biochemical and functional properties that seem to be directly involved in renal tumoral progression.

The lot MNHN-IM-2000-480 contains a single white specimen (Fig. 60 R-S), with a more elongated shape, and thicker and more strongly tubercled spiral cords on the base. Similar white specimens were present in MNHN-IM-IM-2000-481 (2 specimens, but one is so worn to hamper any identification). MNHN-IM-2000-482 contained a white specimen with a weaker first spiral cord (Fig. 60T); its general appearance may reflect a teratological specimen as well as a distinct species, but the shell condition is inadequate for a precise identification. Last,the type series contained also two fresh pink to violet specimens (“ rosacea-rubida ” as in Jousseaume’s original description). One of them shares the same approximate number of whorls and size as in the original description and is here designated as lectotype to stabilize nomenclature (Fig. 60 A-F)., Published as part of Albano, Paolo G., Franco, Davide Di, Azzarone, Michele, J., Piet A., Bakker & Sabelli, Bruno, 2023, Review of the types of Indo-Pacific Triphoridae (Mollusca, Gastropoda) in the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris, pp. 13-106 in Zoosystema 45 (2) on page 90, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2023v45a2, http://zenodo.org/record/7569742, {"references":["JOUSSEAUME F.

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION. — T. sinistrorsa, parvula, ovato-elongatula, obesula, latere convexa, apice acuminata, solida, alba, versùs medium luteo copiosè maculata. Anfractus circa 12 (?), sutura lineari, undulata, vix distincta discreti, longitudinaliter costulati (costulis rotundoplanatis, laevigatis), transversim liris gemmiferis biseriatim decorati, lirula intermedia, minore in ultimis 3 anfractibus, muniti. Lirarum intervalla suturae sulcis latiora. Ultimus anfractus convexo-rectiusculus, 6 liris gemmiferis ornatus. Canalis basalis brevis, valdè recurvus, quasi clausus. Apertura parvula, piriformis. Columella concava, latere erecta; labrum tenue, semi-circulare, supernè fissuratum. — Long. 3 mill.; diam. max. 1.50 mill. Hab. Insula Lifou. Vidi 4 specimina, à R. P. Goubin, S. M., collecta. TRANSLATION OF THE LATIN TEXT. — Sinistral shell, small, ovate and elongated, broad, laterally convex, acute apex, solid, white, towards the centre abundantly spotted with yellow. Whorls about 12 (?), separated by a linear, waved and barely distinct suture, longitudinally costulate (ribs are rounded-flattened, smooth), adorned by two series of tubercled spiral cords and with an intermediate spiral cord which is smaller in the last three whorls. The interspace of the spiral cords is wider than the suture. Last whorl quite straightconvex, adorned by six tubercled spiral cords. Short siphon, strongly curved, partly closed. Small aperture, pyriform. Concave columella, laterally straight; thin lip, semi-circular, fissured above. — Length 3 mm; maximum diameter 1.50 mm. Locality: Lifou Island. I saw 4 specimens collected by R. P. Goubin. DIAGNOSIS. — Shell cyrtoconoid. Syntype 2.7 mm high.Teleoconch of 7 whorls. Three spiral cords present, the second appearing on the fifth whorl. First cord more prominent. First and third cords with tubercles at the intersection with rather prosocline axial ribs. Second cord initially as a fine thread, but then developing thin tubercles. Spiral microsculpture of barely visible fine threads. Peristome with additional cords below the second and third cord. Posterior sinus shallow. Base with three additional tubercled cords. Protoconch largely missing in the syntype but possibly multispiral. Teleoconch white with large brown blotches on the fifth to the seventh whorls.

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION. — Testa solida, ovato-conica, apice acuminata, albo et nigro zonata; anfr. circiter 12 primi albi, alteri seriebus tuberculorum tribus, mediana saepe minor, series antica alba, alterae castoneo-nigrae, granulae spiraliter et longitudinaliter funiculo junctas, ultimus quique seriebus granularum rugatus, series postice 2 fulvo nigra, pars antica alba, reticulata; apertura pyriformis, lateraliter fissa; canalis brevis recurvus. Long. 3 mm3; diam. 1 mm2. [Latin diagnosis followed by a discussion in French] TRANSLATION OF THE LATIN TEXT. — Solid shell, ovate-conical, acute apex, banded in white and brown; about 12 whorls, the first whorls are white, the other whorls with three series of tubercles, often the median series is smaller, the anterior series is white, the others are brownish, granules are spirally and longitudinally jointed to a small spiral cord, last whorl with five granular spiral cords, two posterior cords dark brown, anterior ones are white, reticulated; pyriform aperture, laterally fissured; short and curved siphon. Length 3.3 mm; diameter 1.2 mm. DIAGNOSIS. — Shell cyrtoconoid. Lectotype 3.1 mm high.Teleoconch of 6 whorls. Three spiral cords present, the second appearing on the fifth whorl. First and third cords with tubercles at the intersection with rather orthocline axial ribs. Second cord initially as a fine thread, but later developing thin tubercles. Spiral microsculpture of fine threads. Posterior sinus shallow. Base with two additional weakly tubercled spiral cords, the second smaller. Protoconch damaged in the lectotype. First two teleoconch whorls white, other teleoconch whorls brown with the third spiral cord white. Tip of the siphonal canal and protoconch white. REMARKS. — The type series contained a very worn specimen (Fig. 63 I-M) which likely belongs to a different species due to the more ovoid shape, the colour pattern on the last whorl (with the first spiral cord white rather than pearly on brown background), the tubercles on this last whorl more elongated, and the lack of an intermediate second spiral cord. Therefore, se designated a lectotype of O. senilis to stabilize the nomenclature., Published as part of Albano, Paolo G., Franco, Davide Di, Azzarone, Michele, J., Piet A., Bakker & Sabelli, Bruno, 2023, Review of the types of Indo-Pacific Triphoridae (Mollusca, Gastropoda) in the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris, pp. 13-106 in Zoosystema 45 (2) on page 94, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2023v45a2, http://zenodo.org/record/7569742, {"references":["JOUSSEAUME F.
