The neural crest‐associated gene ERRFI1 is involved in melanoma progression and resistance toward targeted therapy

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
ERRFI1, a neural crest (NC)‐associated gene, was upregulated in melanoma and negatively correlated with the expression of melanocytic differentiation markers and the susceptibility of melanoma cells toward BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi). Knocking down ERRFI1 significantly increased the sensitivity of melanoma cells to BRAFi.

Serum amyloid P aids complement-mediated immunity to Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The physiological functions of the acute phase protein serum amyloid P (SAP) component are not well defined, although they are likely to be important, as no natural state of SAP deficiency has been reported.

Mechanisms of pre-mRNA splicing: classical versus non-classical pathways.

open access: yesHistology and histopathology, 1998
Expression of genetic information proceeds through two major biological events, transcription and translation. However, in eukaryotic cells, the primary transcript (pre-mRNA) is not the template that the translational apparatus scans through, in order to produce the corresponding protein. Pre-mRNAs undergo several modifications (cap site addition, poly

Classical and novel GH receptor signaling pathways

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2020
In this review, I summarize historical and recent features of the classical pathways activated by growth hormone (GH) through the cell surface GH receptor (GHR). GHR is a cytokine receptor superfamily member that signals by activating the non-receptor tyrosine kinase, JAK2, and members of the Src family kinases.

In vitro models of cancer‐associated fibroblast heterogeneity uncover subtype‐specific effects of CRISPR perturbations

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Development of therapies targeting cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) necessitates preclinical model systems that faithfully represent CAF–tumor biology. We established an in vitro coculture system of patient‐derived pancreatic CAFs and tumor cell lines and demonstrated its recapitulation of primary CAF–tumor biology with single‐cell transcriptomics ...

Use of C4d as a diagnostic tool to classify membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis

open access: yesNefrología, 2017
Background: Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN type I, II and III) was reclassified in 2013 as MPGN and C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) based on the complement system activation mechanism.

FUNCTIONAL ACTIVITY OF COMPLEMENT CLASSIC WAY ACTIVATION COMPONENTS AND ART1CULAS DAMAGE IN RHEUMATOID ARTRITIS

open access: yesНаучно-практическая ревматология, 2000
A relationship between X - ray joints changes and functional activity of classical pathway complement components in R4 was investigated. 31 patients with the moderate activity ofRA (ARA 1987) have been examined. Disease duration was 4,5lyear±3,84 (SD). X-

Methylation biomarkers can distinguish pleural mesothelioma from healthy pleura and other pleural pathologies

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We developed and validated a DNA methylation–based biomarker panel to distinguish pleural mesothelioma from other pleural conditions. Using the IMPRESS technology, we translated this panel into a clinically applicable assay. The resulting two classifier models demonstrated excellent performance, achieving high AUC values and strong diagnostic accuracy.

Stochastic models of population extinction

open access: yes, 2010
Theoretical ecologists have long sought to understand how the persistence of populations depends on biotic and abiotic factors. Classical work showed that demographic stochasticity causes the mean time to extinction to increase exponentially with ...
