Clinical applications of fibroblast activation protein inhibitor positron emission tomography (FAPI-PET)

npj Imaging
The discovery of fibroblast activation protein inhibitor positron emission tomography (FAPI-PET) has paved the way for a new class of PET tracers that target the tumor microenvironment (TME) rather than the tumor itself.

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Neutralization of the PTX3/CD44 axis suppresses TGF‐β1 signaling in kidney fibrosis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study investigates how the PTX3/CD44 axis promotes kidney fibrosis by activating TGF‐β1 signaling. We demonstrate that the neutralizing antibody WHC‐001 effectively inhibits this pathway, suppressing myofibroblast activation and partial epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Cardiovascular positron emission tomography imaging of fibroblast activation: A review of the current literature [PDF]

Fibrosis is one of the key healing responses to injury, especially within the heart where it helps to maintain structural integrity following acute insults such as myocardial infarction.

Thrombin-Stimulated Proliferation of Cultured Human Synovial Fibroblasts Through Proteolytic Activation of Proteinase-Activated Receptor-1

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
We examined the mechanism of thrombin on proliferation of synovial fibroblasts obtained from rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Thrombin concentration-dependently induced proliferation of synovial fibroblasts. Proliferation in response to thrombin (10 U /ml) was

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

IKKα regulation of canonical NF-κB activation downstream of Nod1-mediated peptidoglycan recognition : "and" Endocytosis-independent function of clathrin heavy chain in the control of basal NF-κB activation [PDF]

, 2010
NF-κB is a transcription factor involved in the regulation of inflammation and innate immunity. The IκB kinase (IKK) complex contains two catalytic subunits, IKKα and IKKβ, and plays an essential role in the activation of NF-κB through the ...

Role of SUMO-1 modification in transcriptional activation [PDF]

, 2012
In unstimulated cells, the transcription factor NF-κB is held in the cytoplasm in an inactive state by IκB inhibitor proteins. Activation of NF--KB is mediated by signal induced degradation of IκBα via the ubiquitin proteasome-dependent pathway ...

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

Bilateral Subretinal Fluid Accumulation during Erdafitinib Therapy

TNOA Journal of Ophthalmic Science and Research
Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) plays a major role in maintaining retinal pigment epithelium cells. Drugs that inhibit the FGFR pathway block the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, leading to the synthesis of ...
