Processing and assembly of fibrillin‐1

International Journal of Experimental Pathology, 2000
Fibrillins are extracellular matrix proteins of ˜350 kD. They have a complex multidomain structure and are the major components of microfibrillar structures in both elastic and nonelastic tissues (Sakai et al. 1986; Kielty & Shuttleworth 1995). Mutations in the FBN-1 gene cause Marfan Syndrome, which is a heritable connective tissue disease with an ...

Delivery of sTRAIL variants by MSCs in combination with cytotoxic drug treatment leads to p53-independent enhanced antitumor effects [PDF]

, 2013
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are able to infiltrate tumor tissues and thereby effectively deliver gene therapeutic payloads. Here, we engineered murine MSCs (mMSCs) to express a secreted form of the TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), which ...

Prospective Isolation According to Melanin Pigment Content of Melanoma Cells With Heterogeneous Potentials for Disease Propagation

Pigment Cell &Melanoma Research, Volume 38, Issue 4, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Intra‐tumoral heterogeneity poses a major challenge to treating and managing cancer patients. A characteristic feature of melanoma is its composition of cancer cells with typically heterogeneous content of melanin pigment, the production of which is a hallmark of normal melanocytic differentiation but of poorly understood consequence in ...

P10.05 REDUCED MOLECULAR FLEXIBILITY IN THE LARGE ARTERIES OF DIABETIC RATS

Artery Research, 2009
In Type 1 and 2 diabetes tissue stiffening is evident from measurements of the gross mechanical properties of the vasculature. In general, pathological glycosylation of extracellular matrix proteins may play an important role in increasing stiffness in ...

Asprosin‐FABP5 Interaction Modulates Mitochondrial Fatty Acid Oxidation through PPARα Contributing to MASLD Development

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 21, June 5, 2025.
Aided by FABP5, abnormally elevated asprosin in hepatocytes enters the nucleus, targets and inhibits PPARα binding to the CPT1A promoter, thereby suppressing FAO. Circulating asprosin exacerbates insulin resistance, collectively driving MASLD progression.

A comparative study of the elastic fibre system within the mouse and human cornea [PDF]

, 2018
The cornea relies on its organised extracellular matrix for maintaining transparency and biomechanical strength. Studies have identified an elastic fibre system within the human posterior cornea, thought to allow for slight deformations in response to ...

Dual role for the latent transforming growth factor-beta binding protein in storage of latent TGF-beta in the extracellular matrix and as a structural matrix protein [PDF]

, 1995
The role of the latent TGF-beta binding protein (LTBP) is unclear. In cultures of fetal rat calvarial cells, which form mineralized bonelike nodules, both LTBP and the TGF-beta 1 precursor localized to large fibrillar structures in the extracellular ...

P3.11 INCREASED CAROTID PLAQUE OCCURRENCE IN MEN WITH THE FIBRILLIN-1 2–3 GENOTYPE

Artery Research, 2009
Background: Fibrillin-1 is an important constituent of the vascular wall and earlier studies have indicated an effect of the fibrillin-1 2–3 genotype on blood pressure as well as aortic stiffness.

Immobilized metal affinity chromatography co-purifies TGF-β1 with histidine-tagged recombinant extracellular proteins.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Extracellular recombinant proteins are commonly produced using HEK293 cells as histidine-tagged proteins facilitating purification by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC).

A Mutant \u3cem\u3edec-1\u3c/em\u3e Transgene Induces Dominant Female Sterility in \u3cem\u3eDrosophila melanogaster\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]

, 2007
The Drosophila dec-1 gene produces three proproteins required for female fertility and eggshell assembly. The three proproteins are distinguished by their C termini.
