UBE3A Inhibits Trophoblast Cell Migration and Invasion by Promoting ITGB1 Degradation and Affecting PI3K/AKT Signaling

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Preeclampsia (PE) is an obstetric disease that is characterized by reduced migration and invasion of placental trophoblast cells. Here, the effects of the E3 ubiquitin ligase UBE3A on the migration and invasion of trophoblast cells were evaluated.

LRRK2 as a Potential Disease‐Modifying Target in Sporadic Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract A growing understanding of the role that leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) plays in Parkinson's disease (PD) supports continued focus on this enzyme as a therapeutic target for PD. Accumulating evidence suggests that there are phenotypic, neuropathologic, and biological similarities between sporadic PD (sPD) and familial forms in which ...

The centrosome cycle

FEBS Letters, 2002
The centrosome is the major microtubule‐organizing center of animal cells. It influences cell shape and polarity and directs the formation of the bipolar mitotic spindle. Numerical and structural centrosome aberrations have been implicated in disease, notably cancer.

Targeted Next‐Generation Sequencing of the Leptin‐Melanocortin Pathway in Severe Obesity

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Pathogenic variants in five established leptin‐melanocortin pathway genes (LEP, LEPR, MC4R, PCSK1, POMC) are associated with severe early‐onset obesity and are targets for emerging treatments. However, these variants are rare in these patients, suggesting the involvement of additional genes interacting with this pathway. Methods Next‐

Aggressive uveal melanoma displays a high degree of centrosome amplification, opening the door to therapeutic intervention

The Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research, 2022
Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common intraocular cancer in adults. Whilst treatment of primary UM (PUM) is often successful, around 50% of patients develop metastatic disease with poor outcomes, linked to chromosome 3 loss (monosomy 3, M3). Advances in

The Mechanism of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Its Roles in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3) is one of the crucial receptors in pathogen recognition receptor (PRR) families which can recognize the pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and the damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), thus triggering innate immune response. After NLRP3 activation, it recruits the adaptor protein

HTLV-1 Tax: centrosome amplification and cancer

Retrovirology, 2006
During interphase, each cell contains a single centrosome that acts as a microtubule organizing center for cellular functions in interphase and in mitosis.

The use of deidentified organ donor testes for research

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Our knowledge of testis development and function mainly comes from research using mammalian model organisms, primarily the mouse. However, there are integral differences between men and other mammalian species regarding cellular composition and expression profiles during fetal and post‐natal testis development and in the mature testis ...

CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated Genome‐editing Reveals 10 Testis‐enriched Genes and One Non‐testis‐enriched Gene are Dispensable for Male Fecundity in Mice

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background More than 1000 genes have been identified as predominantly expressed in the human testis. Advances in gene editing technologies have enabled the rapid and efficient generation of genetically engineered mice. This approach facilitates the screening of genes essential for spermatogenesis by analyzing knockout mouse models.

A YAP/TAZ–CDC6 Axis Initiates and Maintains Malignant Transformation

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that constitutive activation of YAP or TAZ is sufficient to induce and maintain malignant transformation in fibroblasts, identifying them as essential oncogenic drivers. Transcriptomic and functional analyses revealed CDC6 as a critical downstream effector of YAP/TAZ, with elevated expression linked to tumorigenesis across ...
