Computational Estimates of Binding Affinities for Estrogen Receptor Isoforms in Rainbow Trout [PDF]

arXiv, 2009
Molecular dynamics simulations were used to determine the binding affinities between between the hormone 17 beta-estradiol (E2) and different estrogen receptor (ER) isoforms in the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. Previous phylogenetic analysis indicates that a whole genome duplication prior to the divergence of ray-finned fish led to two distinct ...

Role of Testosterone Signaling in Microglia: A Potential Role for Sex‐Related Differences in Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Testosterone enhances Aβ‐induced autophagy in microglia via the non‐genomic testosterone receptor GPRC6A, promoting Aβ clearance by suppressing ERK phosphorylation and inhibiting mTOR activation. In male 5xFAD mice, testicular removal reduces microglial autophagy and Aβ clearance, which is restored by testosterone.

Combining of Oncolytic Virotherapy and Other Immunotherapeutic Approaches in Cancer: A Powerful Functionalization Tactic

Global Challenges, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Combining oncolytic viruses with anti‐checkpoint antibodies such as anti‐PD‐1, anti‐PDL‐1, and anti‐CTLA4 or CAR‐T cells can be effective in cancer therapy in a synergistic fashion. Oncolytic virotherapy induces the expression of PD‐1 and PDL‐1 in the tumor microenvironment components. Virotherapy promotes the infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells into

Steroid Receptors and Vertebrate Evolution [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Considering that life on earth evolved about 3.7 billion years ago, vertebrates are young, appearing in the fossil record during the Cambrian explosion about 542 to 515 million years ago. Results from sequence analyses of genomes from bacteria, yeast, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates indicate that receptors for adrenal steroids (aldosterone ...

Pupylation‐Based Proximity Labeling Unravels a Comprehensive Protein and Phosphoprotein Interactome of the Arabidopsis TOR Complex

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The target of rapamycin (TOR) complex is a central plant growth regulator. Here, the protein–protein interactions underlying its various functions are mapped by pupylation‐based proximity‐labeling in Arabidopsis, using TOR complex subunits LST8‐1 and RAPTOR1, alongside TOR inhibitor FK506‐binding protein, as baits.

TNF receptor–related factor 3 inactivation promotes the development of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma through NF‐κB‐inducing kinase–mediated hepatocyte transdifferentiation

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a deadly but poorly understood disease, and its treatment options are very limited. The aim of this study was to identify the molecular drivers of ICC and search for therapeutic targets.

Analysis of differential splicing suggests different modes of short-term splicing regulation [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Motivation: Alternative splicing is an important mechanism in which the regions of pre-mRNAs are differentially joined in order to form different transcript isoforms. Alternative splicing is involved in the regulation of normal physiological functions but also linked to the development of diseases such as cancer.

Dual‐Gating Strategy: Ultrasound Activation of TRPV2 Channels and Borate‐Glass‐Induced Calcium Overload for Tumor Suppression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel strategy combining borate glass and ultrasound is proposed for the precise treatment of breast cancer. The locally delivered borate glass releases Ca2⁺ ions in situ, while ultrasound activates the highly expressed transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 channels in breast cancer cells. This synergistic effect induces specific calcium overload,
