Lysyl oxidase (LOX)‐mediated remodeling of the extracellular matrix

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The lysyl oxidase (LOX) family of enzymes drives extracellular matrix remodeling by oxidizing collagen, elastin, and fibronectin, promoting covalent cross‐link formation. This activity regulates tissue architecture and mechanical properties, while its dysregulation contributes to fibrosis, cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, connective tissue disorders ...

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

Collagen mRNA levels changes during colorectal cancer carcinogenesis

BMC Cancer, 2009
Background Invasive growth of epithelial cancers is a complex multi-step process which involves dissolution of the basement membrane. Type IV collagen is a major component in most basement membranes.

Developmental programmes drive cellular plasticity, disease progression and therapy resistance in lung adenocarcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study shows that lung adenocarcinomas exploit developmental branching morphogenesis to acquire a therapy resistant basal‐like tumour cell state. This process was found to be regulated by combined TP53 loss‐of‐function and type‐I interferon signalling, identifying a novel axis for biomarker and therapeutic target discovery.

Preparation and partial characterization of monoclonal antibodies specific for the nascent non-triple helical form of the type IV collagen alpha 1 chain

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2017
This report describes the preparation and partial characterization of monoclonal antibodies that are reactive specifically with the nascently produced non-triple helical form of the type IV collagen α1 chain, designated as NTH α1(IV).

Immunohistochemical expression of Type IV Collagen and Autocrine Motility Factor Receptor in Odontogenic Tumours [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014
Background: Autocrine motility factor receptor (AMFR) is a tumour motility stimulating protein secreted by tumour cells. The protein encoded by this gene is a glycosylated transmembrane protein and a receptor for autocrine motility factor. It has been

The Function of the NC1 Domains in Type IV Collagen [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995
At its C terminus, the collagen IV molecule bears a globular NC1 domain, to which two functions have been assigned. In the macromolecular network of collagen IV, two molecules are connected via their NC1 domains, which form a hexameric complex, stabilized by intermolecular disulfide bonds.

Loss of proton‐sensing TDAG8 increases tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the pH‐sensing receptor TDAG8 accelerates colorectal cancer progression in mice. Animals lacking TDAG8 expression had increased tumor growth, DNA damage, and recruitment of tumor‐associated immune cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, and monocytes.

Visualization and phenotyping of proinflammatory antigen-specific T cells during collagen-induced arthritis in a mouse with a fixed collagen type II-specific transgenic T-cell receptor beta-chain [PDF]

, 2010
Introduction: The Vbeta12-transgenic mouse was previously generated to investigate the role of antigen-specific T cells in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), an animal model for rheumatoid arthritis. This mouse expresses a transgenic collagen type II (CII)

Laminin and type IV collagen in the human testis [PDF]

International Journal of Andrology, 1985
Specimens of normal human testis and biopsies from testes with Sertoli‐cell‐only syndrome in which the seminiferous tubules had a remarkably thickened lamina propria, were investigated immunohistochemically using specific antibodies against human laminin and human type IV collagen.
