Engineering Bacteria as Living Therapeutics in Cancer Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Through synthetic biology approaches, natural bacteria can be genetically programmed into multifunctional living therapeutics. These engineered bacteria are capable of secreting anti‐tumor factors, displaying tumor‐associated antigens on their surface, or undergoing programmed self‐lysis to release therapeutic cargo.

Glycan Sulfation Modulates Dendritic Cell Biology and Tumor Growth

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2016
In cancer, proteoglycans have been found to play roles in facilitating the actions of growth factors, and effecting matrix invasion and remodeling. However, little is known regarding the genetic and functional importance of glycan chains displayed by ...

The Extracellular and Cytoplasmic Domains of Syndecan Cooperate Postsynaptically to Promote Synapse Growth at the Drosophila Neuromuscular Junction. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) Syndecan (Sdc) is a crucial regulator of synapse development and growth in both vertebrates and invertebrates. In Drosophila, Sdc binds via its extracellular heparan sulfate (HS) sidechains to the receptor protein ...

Unraveling Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan Binding Motif for Cancer Cell Selectivity

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2019
Membrane heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) regulate cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation and are therefore considered key players in cancer cell development processes.

Transsynaptic Binding of Orphan Receptor GPR179 to Dystroglycan-Pikachurin Complex Is Essential for the Synaptic Organization of Photoreceptors

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: Establishing synaptic contacts between neurons is paramount for nervous system function. This process involves transsynaptic interactions between a host of cell adhesion molecules that act in cooperation with the proteins of the extracellular ...

Glycosaminoglycans as Polyelectrolytes: Charge, Interactions, and Applications

open access: yesChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are linear, anionic biopolymers with their functions tightly linked to their charge. This review approaches GAGs from a polyelectrolyte perspective, shedding light on how the distribution of sulfate groups and, thus, negative charges, governs their interactions with other biomolecules.

Endorepellin remodels the endothelial transcriptome toward a pro-autophagic and pro-mitophagic gene signature. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Regulation of autophagy by proteolytically cleaved fragments of heparan sulfate proteoglycans is a novel and current research focus in tumor biology. Endorepellin is the C-terminal angiostatic fragment of the heparan sulfate proteoglycan perlecan and ...
