The role of exercise-induced myokines in promoting angiogenesis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Ischemic diseases are a major cause of mortality or disability in the clinic. Surgical or medical treatment often has poor effect on patients with tissue and organ ischemia caused by diffuse stenoses.

Regulation of tissue crosstalk by skeletal muscle-derived myonectin and other myokines. [PDF]

, 2012
The integrated control of animal physiology requires intimate tissue crosstalk, a vital task mediated by circulating humoral factors. As one type of these factors, adipose tissue-derived adipokines have recently garnered attention as important regulators

Identification of potential biomarkers related to mesenchymal stem cell response in patients with Alzheimer’s disease

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2023
Background Preclinical studies showed that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) ameliorate tau phosphorylation, amyloid-beta accumulation, and inflammation in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mouse models via secretion of neurotrophic factors and cytokines. We aimed to

Autocrine Signaling in Cardiac Remodeling: A Rich Source of Therapeutic Targets

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
The myocardium consists of different cell types, of which endothelial cells, cardiomyocytes, and fibroblasts are the most abundant. Communication between these different cell types, also called paracrine signaling, is essential for normal cardiac ...

Characterization of a Rat C₆ Glioma‐Secreted Follistatin‐Related Protein (FRP) [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1994
A protein was isolated from rat C6 glioma‐conditioned medium and was biochemically characterized. The heparin‐binding protein has a native molecular mass of 55–75000Da, a molecular mass of 40–48000 Da under denaturing conditions, and a pI of 5.0–6.0. Based on the determined partial amino acid sequences, the full lenght cDNA encoding the rat and human ...

The Myostatin Propeptide and the Follistatin-related Gene Are Inhibitory Binding Proteins of Myostatin in Normal Serum [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2002
Myostatin, also known as growth and differentiation factor 8, is a member of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily that negatively regulates skeletal muscle mass (1). Recent experiments have shown that myostatin activity is detected in serum by a reporter gene assay only after activation by acid, suggesting that native myostatin circulates as

AFP, PIVKAII, GP3, SCCA-1 and follisatin as surveillance biomarkers for hepatocellular cancer in non-alcoholic and alcoholic fatty liver disease

BMC Cancer, 2008
Background The incidence and mortality of hepatocellular cancer (HCC) complicating alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (ALD and NAFLD) is rising in western societies.

Comparison of bioactivities, binding properties and intra-follicular levels of bovine follistatins [PDF]

, 2015
Five isoforms of follistatin (FST) (Mr 31, 33, 35, 37, 41kDa) were purified from bovine follicular fluid (bFF). Comparison of their activin- and heparan sulphate proteoglycan (HSP)-binding properties and bio-potencies in neutralization of activin-A ...

The activin binding proteins follistatin and follistatin-related protein are differentially regulated in vitro and during cutaneous wound repair [PDF]

Journal of Endocrinology, 2001
Follistatin is a secreted protein that binds activin in vitro and in vivo and thereby inhibits its biological functions. Recently, related human and murine genes, designated follistatin-related gene (FLRG), were identified, and their products were shown to bind activin with high affinity.
