KHSRP-mediated decay of axonally localized prenyl-Cdc42 mRNA slows nerve regeneration. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics
The small GTPase CDC42 promotes axon growth through actin filament polymerization and this growth is driven by axonal localization of the mRNA encoding the prenylated CDC42 isoform (Prenyl-Cdc42).

The nitty‐gritty of vascular permeability in cancer: targeting blood endothelium to control metastases

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Blood vascular permeability is a hallmark of cancer and acts as an active driver of metastatic dissemination. Metastasis accounts for the vast majority of cancer deaths, yet most work has focussed on tumour‐intrinsic traits and angiogenesis, while the specific contribution of endothelial barrier regulation to intravasation and extravasation remains ...

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

A role for Gic1 and Gic2 in Cdc42 polarization at elevated temperature.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
The conserved Rho-family GTPase Cdc42 is a master regulator of polarity establishment in many cell types. Cdc42 becomes activated and concentrated in a region of the cell cortex, and recruits a variety of effector proteins to that site.

Exercise‐related microRNAs in Caenorhabditis elegans regulate calcium homeostasis and mitochondrial dynamics: Conserved pathways, divergent microRNAs

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Exercise‐related microRNAs cel‐miR‐249‐3p and cel‐miR‐77‐5p in C. elegans regulate lifespan, fitness, mitochondrial morphology and membrane potential. Although lacking direct mammalian orthologs, H2O2‐induced microRNAs mmu‐miR‐181a‐5p and mmu‐miR‐378a‐3p regulate myogenesis, autophagy, mitochondrial content and respiration in murine myoblasts ...

Proteolysis at the extracellular matrix interface: Molecular architects and regulators in health and disease

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic scaffold that orchestrates tissue architecture and cellular communication. A critical but underexplored interplay between proteases and cluster of differentiation molecules (CD) governs ECM turnover and directs cell fate.

Ubiquitin and ubiquitin‐like modifications in the endoplasmic reticulum stress response

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress activates various proteostasis control processes, including the unfolded protein response, ribosome‐associated quality control, and ER‐associated degradation. Ubiquitin and ubiquitin‐like modifications dynamically regulate these processes to determine cell fate, promoting adaptation or inducing cell death.

Early‐Onset Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Emerging Biological Insights, Risk Factors and Clinical Implications

open access: yesJournal of Oral Pathology &Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Early‐onset oral squamous cell carcinoma (EO‐OSCC), commonly defined as occurring in individuals under 50 years of age, is increasingly recognized as a potentially distinct clinical subset with differences in exposure patterns and tumor biology compared with conventional oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Serum CDC42 level change during abiraterone plus prednisone treatment and its association with prognosis in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients

open access: yesDiscover Oncology
Objective Cell division cycle 42 (CDC42) regulates prostate cancer growth and metastasis. This study aimed to evaluate the change in serum CDC42 during treatment and its association with the clinical features and prognosis in abiraterone plus prednisone ...
