Exostosin 1 Knockdown Induces Chemoresistance in MV3 Melanoma Cells by Upregulating JNK and MEK/ERK Signaling. [PDF]
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) possess various functions driving malignancy of tumors. However, their impact on tumor cell sensitivity to cytotoxic treatment is far less understood. Aiming to investigate this, we depleted HSPGs by downregulating Exostosin 1 (EXT1), a key enzyme in HS formation, or upregulating heparanase in human MV3 human ...

Treatment of exostosin 1-associated membranous lupus nephritis with multiple low doses of rituximab: A case report. [PDF]
Abstract Rationale: Membranous glomerulonephritis (MN) is the leading cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults and is classified as primary or secondary. Secondary MN accounts for 20% to 30% of all MN cases and can arise from a number of conditions, including autoimmune diseases.

Exostosin 1 regulates cancer cell stemness in doxorubicin-resistant breast cancer cells. [PDF]
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are associated with cancer recurrence following radio/chemotherapy owing to their high resistance to therapeutic intervention. In this study, we investigated the role of exostoxin 1 (EXT1), an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-residing type II transmembrane glycoprotein, in cancer cell stemness.

Functional Requirements for Heparan Sulfate Biosynthesis in Morphogenesis and Nervous System Development in C. elegans. [PDF]
The regulation of cell migration is essential to animal development and physiology. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans shape the interactions of morphogens and guidance cues with their respective receptors to elicit appropriate cellular responses.

Exostosin 1 is expressed in human odontoblasts [PDF]
Objective: Dental pulp is soft connective tissue maintaining the vitality of the tooth, while odontoblasts form the dentin. Our earlier DNA microarray analysis revealed expression of putative tumour suppressor exostosin 1 (EXT-1) in odontoblasts.

Dual roles of exostosin glycosyltransferase 1 in Zika virus infection
Many factors involved in heparan sulfate (HS) biosynthesis and metabolism have been reported to play roles in viral infection. However, the detailed mechanisms are still not fully understood. In this study, we report that exostosin glycosyltransferase 1 (

Lupus-like membranous nephropathy during the postpartum period expressing glomerular antigens exostosin 1/exostosin 2 and phospholipase A2 receptor: a case report. [PDF]
Recently, several target antigens of membranous nephropathy (MN), such as phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and exostosin 1/exostosin 2 (EXT1/2), have been discovered. A 30-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with nephrotic range proteinuria and microscopic hematuria. She was first noted to have proteinuria before pregnancy, and her proteinuria

Retrospective analysis of serum NELL-1 and EXT1/2: no significant predictive value for treatment response in a cohort of membranous nephropathy patients [PDF]
Neural epidermal growth factor-like protein 1 (NELL-1) and the exostosin 1/2 complex (EXT1/2) are recently identified target antigens in membranous nephropathy (MN), yet their prevalence and clinical features in Chinese populations remain poorly ...
