Cell signaling and cancer [PDF]
During the course of tumor progression, cancer cells acquire a number of characteristic alterations. These include the capacities to proliferate independently of exogenous growth-promoting or growth-inhibitory signals, to invade surrounding tissues and metastasize to distant sites, to elicit an angiogenic response, and to evade mechanisms that limit ...

A Systems Approach for Decoding Mitochondrial Retrograde Signaling Pathways
Mitochondrial dysfunctions activate retrograde signaling from mitochondria to the nucleus. To identify transcription factors and their associated pathways that underlie mitochondrial retrograde signaling, we performed gene expression profiling of the ...

Hedgehog Signaling and Truncated GLI1 in Cancer
The hedgehog (HH) signaling pathway regulates normal cell growth and differentiation. As a consequence of improper control, aberrant HH signaling results in tumorigenesis and supports aggressive phenotypes of human cancers, such as neoplastic ...

Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

RASGRP4 is a key factor in the KRAS activation mediated by SOS in tumor Y1 adrenocortical cell lines
The Y1 mouse adrenocortical carcinoma cell line presents amplification of the KRas oncogene and high-basal levels of KRAS-GTP mediated by the GEF SOS. In this research, we developed a dynamic model based on ordinary differential equations of the KRAS-GTP

Mutual inhibition between PTEN and PIP3 generates bistability for polarity in motile cells
PIP3 and its phosphatase (PTEN) are enriched mutually exclusively on the anterior and posterior membranes of eukaryotic motile cells. Here authors manipulate PIP3 level and use single-molecule imaging to show that PIP3 suppresses the membrane ...

Brain endothelial miR-146a negatively modulates T-cell adhesion through repressing multiple targets to inhibit NF-κB activation. [PDF]
Pro-inflammatory cytokine-induced activation of nuclear factor, NF-κB has an important role in leukocyte adhesion to, and subsequent migration across, brain endothelial cells (BECs), which is crucial for the development of neuroinflammatory disorders ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Plant amino acid analogues as antimicrobial agents
Plants are known as a source of different biologically active compounds, which are uncommon for other kingdoms of life. Among them are different amino acid analogues, which are synthesized and accumulated in certain plants as a passive defense mechanism ...
