The Role of Thiol-Cysteine Sensitivity in Modulating the Bioavailability and Efficacy of Drug Candidates [PDF]

, 2023
Thiols are essential biomolecules involved in many biological processes, including redox regulation and signal transduction. Thiols are ubiquitous in biological systems and can be reversibly modified by electrophilic compounds through a mechanism known ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Molecular Insight into the Regulation of Vimentin by Cysteine Modifications and Zinc Binding

Antioxidants, 2021
The intermediate filament protein vimentin is involved in essential cellular processes, including cell division and stress responses, as well as in the pathophysiology of cancer, pathogen infection, and autoimmunity. The vimentin network undergoes marked

Dimethyl fumarate combined with cisplatin at subcytotoxic doses sensitizes cervical cancer toward ferroptosis and apoptosis through GSH restriction and p53 (re)activation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) reduces growth of HPV‐positive cervical cancer spheroids and induces ferroptosis in cervical cancer cells via blocking SLC7A11/Glutathione (GSH) axis. Combination of subcytotoxic doses of DMF and cisplatin (CDDP) further suppresses spheroid growth and drives cell death in 2D culture models.

Improved Detection of Domoic Acid Using Covalently Immobilised Antibody Fragments

Marine Drugs, 2013
Antibody molecules, and antibody fragments in particular, have enormous potential in the development of biosensors for marine monitoring. Conventional immobilisation approaches used in immunoassays typically yield unstable and mostly incorrectly oriented

EDNRB‐dependent endothelin signaling reduces proliferation and promotes proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition in gliomas

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated

CCDC80 suppresses high‐grade serous ovarian cancer migration via negative regulation of B7‐H3

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PAX8 is a lineage‐specific master regulator of transcription in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) progression. We show for the first time that PAX8 facilitates proliferation and metastasis by repressing the cell autonomous tumor suppressor CCDC80 and inducing B7‐H3 expression.

Vascular smooth muscle cell-derived SO2 sulphenylated interferon regulatory factor 1 to inhibit VSMC senescence

Frontiers in Pharmacology
BackgroundVascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) senescence is a critical driver of vascular aging and various age-related cardiovascular diseases. Endogenous sulfur dioxide (SO2), a newly identified key cardiovascular gaseous signaling mediator, accelerates

Interpreting the effects of DNA polymerase variants at the structural level

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using MAVISp and molecular dynamics simulations, we analyzed over 60 000 missense variants in POLE and POLD1 from ClinVar, COSMIC, cBioPortal, and saturation mutagenesis. Identified mechanistic indicators, including stability, binding, and long‐range, enable structural interpretation, providing ACMG‐like evidence for possible reclassification of VUS ...
