Extracellular Vesicle‐Mediated Nucleolin Transfer in Glioblastoma: A Targetable Axis Driving Blood‐Tumour Barrier Formation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Vesicles
Glioblastoma (GBM) remains a significant therapeutic challenge. While GBM‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are known to remodel the normal blood‐brain barrier (BBB) into a blood‐tumour barrier (BTB), the underlying mechanism is largely not understood.

The G-quadruplex-forming aptamer AS1411 potently inhibits HIV-1 attachment to the host cell. [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Antimicrob Agents, 2016
AS1411 is a G-rich aptamer that forms a stable G-quadruplex structure and displays antineoplastic properties both in vitro and in vivo. This oligonucleotide has undergone phase 2 clinical trials. The major molecular target of AS1411 is nucleolin (NCL), a multifunctional nucleolar protein also present in the cell membrane where it selectively mediates ...

Anti-Proliferative Effect of Doxorubicin-Loaded AS1411 Aptamer on Colorectal Cancer Cell [PDF]

open access: yesAsian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, 2021
Doxorubicin (Dox) inhibits DNA replication and causes DNA damage resulting in cell death. It is a common drug for treatment of many cancers. Treatment efficacy and side effects of Dox are critical issues in using it because the drug lacks of specificity. The objective of this study was to improve the specificity of Dox by the incorporation of this drug
