Exosomes promote pre-metastatic niche formation in ovarian cancer. [PDF]

, 2019
Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies. Upon initial diagnosis, the majority of patients present with widespread metastatic growth within the peritoneal cavity. This metastatic growth occurs in stages, with the formation of a

Therapeutic Applications of Stimuli‐Based Release and Engineering of Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the effects of endogenous and exogenous stimuli, their effects on the natural release of extracellular vesicles, as well as their uptake and release. It also gives an overview of stimuli‐responsive EVs and their therapeutic applications. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nano‐ to microsized lipid bilayer membrane‐bound particles, are

A plant Bro1 domain protein BRAF regulates multivesicular body biogenesis and membrane protein homeostasis

Nature Communications, 2018
Plant development, defense, and many physiological processes rely on the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) machinery to control the homeostasis of membrane proteins by selective vacuolar degradation.

Role of metal-dependent regulation of ESX-3 secretion in intracellular survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]

, 2016
More people die every year from Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection than from infection by any other bacterial pathogen. Type VII secretion systems (T7SS) are used by both environmental and pathogenic mycobacteria to secrete proteins across their ...

Tetraspanin‐ESCRT sorting drives miR‐29b packaging into extracellular vesicles to reverse fibrosis in intrauterine adhesions

BMEMat, EarlyView.
MiR‐29b is enriched in extracellular vesicles (EVs) via a tetraspanin transporter‐dependent endocytosis and sorting complex required for the endosomal transport (ESCRT)‐dependent pathway. These EVs target the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of TGFB2, thereby inhibiting the TGF‐β/Smad3 signaling pathway and repairing endometrial damage in intrauterine ...

Orchestrating the metastatic symphony: the role of extracellular vesicles in the epithelial–mesenchymal transition and pulmonary niche formation of breast cancer

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The complexity of breast cancer (BC) lung metastasis lies in the capacity of tumour cells to interact efficiently with distant organs to promote colonisation, a process that involves the sophisticated coordination of inherent cellular plasticity and the remodelling of the distant microenvironment.

MVB vesicle formation: ESCRT-dependent, ESCRT-independent and everything in between [PDF]

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2011
Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are endosomes that have internalized portions of the limiting membrane into the compartment, thereby forming intralumenal vesicles. This vesicle formation is unusual in that it is directed away from the cytoplasm, which requires a unique mechanism unlike any mechanism described for other vesicle formation events.

Reclaiming Anatomy as Method: From Morphological Reasoning to Clinical Relevance

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent decades, molecular biology and omics technologies have profoundly reshaped biomedical research, with genomics, proteomics, and other high‐throughput approaches dominating scientific agendas and funding priorities. Within this molecular paradigm, however, the anatomical sciences face an epistemic and institutional tension: morphology,

Hepatitis C Virus Proteins Interact with the Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT) Machinery via Ubiquitination To Facilitate Viral Envelopment

mBio, 2016
Enveloped viruses commonly utilize late-domain motifs, sometimes cooperatively with ubiquitin, to hijack the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) machinery for budding at the plasma membrane. However, the mechanisms underlying budding

EGF receptor trafficking: consequences for signaling and cancer [PDF]

, 2013
The ligand-stimulated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been extensively studied in the analysis of molecular mechanisms regulating endocytic traffic and the role of that traffic in signal transduction.
