INHBB Promotes Colorectal Cancer Progression by Inducing CD8+ T Cell Exhaustion via the ACVR2B‐SMAD Signaling Axis

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
INHBB secreted by colorectal cancer cells activates ACVR2B‐SMAD signaling to induce CD8+ T‐cell exhaustion and drive tumor progression. SB431542 blocks this oncogenic immune‐suppressive axis. ABSTRACT To investigate the expression pattern, biological functions and regulatory mechanisms of inhibin beta B (INHBB) in colorectal cancer (CRC), and to ...

Activins in adipogenesis and obesity [PDF]

International Journal of Obesity, 2012
Activins are secreted proteins members of the transforming growth factor-β family. They are involved in many biological responses including regulation of apoptosis, proliferation and differentiation of different cell types. Activins A, B and AB are highly expressed in adipose tissue, and in this review we will illustrate that activins have a role in ...

Uterine-embryonic interaction in pit : activin, follistatin, and activin receptor II in uterus and embryo during early gestation

, 2001
The mRNA expression patterns of activin A and follistatin in the uterus and embryo, the mRNA expression of the activin receptor II in the embryo, and the localization in the uterus of the immunoreactive activin A and the receptor II proteins in the ...

Human iPSC‐Derived Vascularised Lung Organoids for Modelling COPD and Pulmonary Hypertension

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Vascularised lung organoids (vLOs) that faithfully mimic human lung tissue architecture and disease pathology are critical for advancing pulmonary research but remain challenging to generate. Here, we developed a robust self‐organisation protocol to produce vLOs with cellular heterogeneity and functional vasculature. The engineered blood vessels within

BCL2 Facilitates Naïve Pluripotency and an 8C‐Like State in Human Embryonic Stem Cells

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
BCL2 stabilizes human naïve pluripotency associated with H3K27ac modulation and induces 8CLCs in human naïve ESCs. ABSTRACT Human naïve embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can spontaneously transition into 8‐cell‐like cells (8CLCs), a cell state that recapitulates the totipotent features of the 8‐cell‐stage embryo.

Weight Regain After Incretin Treatment: The Lean Mass Deficit Hypothesis and a Role for Testosterone Combination Therapy in Men

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RAs), dual glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP‐1RA and triple (GIP)/GLP‐1RA/glucagon agonists achieve placebo‐subtracted weight loss of 15% to 22%. Their long‐term value depends on how well the weight loss is maintained and on the composition of weight loss, not only

Epigenetic control of cellular plasticity in breast cancer progression

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cancer cells undergo cell state transitions, termed plasticity, driving cancer progression and dictating therapeutic response. We define breast cancer plasticity into four interconnected processes: (1) breast cancer stem cell fates, (2) epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition, (3) maintenance of luminal identity, and (4) acquisition of therapeutic ...

Activin-A secretion is increased in the eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis

, 2006
BACKGROUND: Activin is a well-characterised growth and differentiation factor and an important inflammatory mediator. Activin is secreted by normal endometrial glands and stroma and is expressed by endometrial leucocytes.

Sclerostin regulates bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) bioavailability through interactions with BMP complexes and fibrillin microfibrils

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Sclerostin (SOST) is a multifunctional extracellular modulator of BMP and Wnt signaling. SOST binds with high affinity to fibrillin‐1 and fibrillin‐2, localizing it to fibrillin microfibrils and regulating its extracellular bioavailability. Fibrillin‐bound SOST cannot engage BMP‐7 prodomain (PD) complexes, revealing a competitive mechanism that ...
