Zika virus non-structural protein NS4A restricts eye growth in Drosophila through regulation of JAK/STAT signaling

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2020
To gain a comprehensive view of the changes in host gene expression underlying Zika virus (ZIKV) pathogenesis, we performed whole-genome RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of ZIKV-infected Drosophila adult flies.

The organophosphate pesticide -OP- malathion inducing thyroidal disruptions and failures in the metamorphosis of the Senegalese sole, Solea senegalensis

open access: yesBMC Veterinary Research, 2019
Background Organophosphate pesticides-OP-, like malathion, can alter the normal functioning of neuro-endocrine systems (e.g., hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid-HPT- axis), and to interfere on the thyroidal homeostasis.

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins and Their Receptors in the Eye

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 2007
The human genome encodes at least 42 different members of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily of growth factors. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are the largest subfamily of proteins within the transforming growth factor-β superfamily and are involved in numerous cellular functions including development, morphogenesis, cell proliferation ...

Conserved chemosensory proteins in the proboscis and eyes of Lepidoptera [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biological Sciences, 2016
Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are endowed with several different functions besides being carriers for pheromones and odorants. Based on a previous report of a CSP acting as surfactant in the proboscis of the moth Helicoverpa armigera, we revealed the presence of orthologue proteins in two other moths Plutella ...

Dry Eye: A Protein Conformational Disease

open access: yesInvestigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 2015
The purpose of this study was to determine whether aqueous-deficient dry eyes (ADDE) is a protein conformational disease. Up to now the therapeutic regimen has been based on empirical results, but these observations may unfold new theranostic approaches for ADDE management.Fifty ADDE patients and 46 healthy volunteers were recruited.

A thermo-responsive protein treatment for dry eyes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Controlled Release, 2015
Millions of Americans suffer from dry eye disease, and there are few effective therapies capable of treating these patients. A decade ago, an abundant protein component of human tears was discovered and named lacritin (Lacrt). Lacrt has prosecretory activity in the lacrimal gland and mitogenic activity at the corneal epithelium.

Human 14-3-3 gamma protein results in abnormal cell proliferation in the developing eye of Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesCell Division, 2008
Background 14-3-3 proteins are a family of adaptor proteins that participate in a wide variety of cellular processes. Recent evidence indicates that the expression levels of these proteins are elevated in some human tumors providing circumstantial ...

Functions of retinal astrocytes and Müller cells in mammalian myopia

open access: yesBMC Ophthalmology, 2022
Background Changes in the retina and choroid blood vessels are regularly observed in myopia. However, if the retinal glial cells, which directly contact blood vessels, play a role in mammalian myopia is unknown. We aimed to explore the potential role and
