Elevated calpain protein in AngII infused calpain-1 +/+ and calpain-1 −/− aortas.

open access: yes, 2013
Calpain-1 (A) and calpain-2 (B) proteins were detected by Western blotting in tissue extracts from aortas in calpain-1 +/+ x LDL receptor −/− and calpain-1 −/− x −/− LDL receptor −/− mice infused with either saline or AngII for 7 days.

Adipocyte Calpain‐2 Deficiency Reduces Obesity‐Accelerated Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Formation in Mice

open access: yesFASEB BioAdvances
Abdominal adiposity is associated with increased risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) development. Calpains are non‐lysosomal calcium‐dependent cysteine proteases that are highly expressed in human and experimental AAAs.

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Ion Channel Dysfunction and Therapeutic Targeting in Salivary Gland Disorders

open access: yesOral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia represent major clinical complications of radiation therapy, autoimmune disorders such as Sjögren's disease, and inherited epithelial ion transport defects. This review integrates current knowledge on ion channel dysfunction as a central mechanistic driver of salivary gland pathology and ...

Honokiol activates calpain activity.

open access: yes, 2013
Calpain activity was measured with the fluorescent calpain substrate Suc-LLVY-AMC in N87, AGS, MKN45 and SCM-1 cells. (A) Time course responses to honokiol (20 µM) treatment. Data are expressed in terms of fold of control conditions. (B) Honokiol (20 and

Elevated Levels of Blood Neurofilament Light Chain in Substance‐Using Populations: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesPsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, EarlyView.
Substance‐use disorders are increasingly linked to structural and functional brain alterations consistent with neuroaxonal injury. Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a sensitive blood‐based marker of axonal damage, but evidence in substance‐using populations remains fragmented.

Elevated calpain activity in AngII infused calpain-1 +/+ and calpain-1 −/− aortas.

open access: yes, 2013
Spectrin breakdown products (A) were detected by Western blotting in tissue extracts from aortas in calpain-1 +/+ x LDL receptor −/− and calpain-1 −/− x −/− LDL receptor −/− mice infused with either saline or AngII for 7 days as a measure of calpain ...

Apoptosis and motor deficits in SPG76 hereditary spastic paraplegia: Calpain 2 inhibition as therapeutic strategy

open access: yesPharmacological Research
SPG76 is a complicated form of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) associated with mutations in the CAPN1 gene. The encoded protein, calpain 1, is a calcium-activated cysteine protease that catalyzes the proteolytic cleavage of a variety of cellular ...

Of mice and men—The emerging oral–gut–brain axis of health and disease

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Oral health's inextricable links to systemic health are highlighted by the emerging oral–gut–brain axis and other well‐known axes. There is growing evidence of a complex oral–gut–brain axis linking mouth and gut microbiomes with the central nervous system.

Elucidating Isoform Specific Roles of Calpain-1 and Calpain-2 in Breast Cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed women’s cancer in Canada. Average patient survival rates are high, but they are significantly reduced for those patients whose cancer reaches stage IV – metastatic disease.
