Transcription factor Sp1 induces ADAM17 and contributes to tumor cell invasiveness under hypoxia [PDF]
Background Expression of the Sp1 transcription factor is induced by hypoxia, and the ADAM17 promoter contains predicted Sp1 binding sites. ADAM17 contributes to hypoxic-induce invasiveness of glioma.

Impact of inhibitors and L2 antibodies upon the infectivity of diverse alpha and beta human papillomavirus types. [PDF]
The licensed human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines elicit type-restricted immunity but do not target cutaneous HPV types of the beta genus that are associated with non-melanoma skin cancer in immune-compromised patients, and it is unclear if these diverse ...

Bryostatin-1 vs. TPPB: Dose-Dependent APP Processing and PKC-α, -δ, and -ε Isoform Activation in SH-SY5Y Neuronal Cells [PDF]
Activation of the α-secretase processing pathway of amyloid precursor protein (APP) is recognized as an important mechanism which diverts APP processing from production of beta-amyloid (Aβ) to non toxic sAPPα, decreasing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) plaque ...

Developments in the Role of Iron Imbalance in the Pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]
Iron load is closely associated with the initiation and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) . Although age-dependent deposition of β-amyloid (A β) in senile plaques (SPs) , and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) formed by accumulation ...

Astroglial mGlu3 receptors promote alpha-secretase-mediated amyloid precursor protein cleavage
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) shedding yields the Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related peptide amyloid β (Aβ) through β- and γ-secretase cleavage. Alternatively, α-secretase cleavage generates a soluble and neuroprotective fragment (sAPPα) while precludes the production of Aβ.

Alpha-secretase inhibition impairs Group I metabotropic glutamate receptor-mediated protein synthesis, long-term potentiation and long-term depression. [PDF]
Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (Gp1-mGluRs) exert a host of effects on cellular functions, including enhancement of protein synthesis and the associated facilitation of long-term potentiation (LTP) and induction of long-term depression (LTD). However, the complete cascades of events mediating these events are not fully understood.

ADAM9 inhibition increases membrane activity of ADAM10 and controls α-secretase processing of amyloid precursor protein [PDF]
Prodomains of A disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) metallopeptidases can act as highly specific intra- and intermolecular inhibitors of ADAM catalytic activity. The mouse ADAM9 prodomain (proA9; amino acids 24–204), expressed and characterized from
