Multiple Administration of Dexamethasone Possesses a Deferred Long-Term Effect to Glycosylated Components of Mouse Brain

open access: yesNeurology International
Glucocorticoids are used during glioblastoma treatment to prevent the cerebral edema effect surrounding normal brain tissue. The aim of our study was to investigate the long-term effects of multiple administrations of glucocorticoids onto the ...

N-terminal syndecan-2 domain selectively enhances 6-O heparan sulfate chains sulfation and promotes VEGFA165-dependent neovascularization

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Proteoglycans are glycosylated proteins that play a number of structural and signalling functions. Here, Corti, Wang et al. show that the N-terminal sequence of proteoglycan Syndecan-2 selectively increases 6-O sulfation of its heparan sulfate chains ...

Dynamics of the CD9 interactome during bacterial infection of epithelial cells by proximity labelling proteomics

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We describe the CD9 interactome in epithelial cells for the first time. The interactome is diverse and dynamic and changes dependent on infection with specific bacteria. We validate these data by showing functional interaction between CD9 with CD44 or CD147. We therefore demonstrate that CD9 is a universal organiser of bacterial adhesion platforms able

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Zebrafish as a model for Catel–Manzke syndrome—identification and characterization of the zebrafish TGDS ortholog

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Zebrafish Tgds, when expressed as a recombinant protein, catalyzes the dehydration of UDP‐D‐glucose, the initial step in the formation of 6‐deoxyhexoses. Corresponding Tgds mutations found in Catel–Manzke syndrome patients lead to reduced enzymatic activity and stability.

Heparan sulfate mimetics can efficiently mobilize long-term hematopoietic stem cells

open access: yesHaematologica, 2012
Background Although mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoietic progenitor cells can be achieved with a combination of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and plerixafor (AMD3100), improving approaches for hematopoietic progenitor cell ...

Bacterial porphyrins in healthy skin: Microbiota components impact melanogenesis and age‐related processes leading to Porphyr'ageing

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Porphyrins, previously linked only to acne inflammation, are now implicated in skin ageing. Their presence correlates with increased melanin, inflammation, and oxidative stress, contributing to premature ageing signs. This study introduces the concept of “Porphyr'ageing,” highlighting the detrimental effects of bacterial metabolites on skin health and ...
