Anticancer potential of berberine: Molecular pathways and current clinical trial perspectives

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Cancer is constantly rising mortality rates due to its late prognosis, poor management, and expensive treatment. Multi‐sectoral approaches for cancer management include hygienic practices, synthetic drug exploitation, radiation therapy, and diet modifications.

The Synthetic Antimicrobial Peptide 19-2.5 Interacts with Heparanase and Heparan Sulfate in Murine and Human Sepsis.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Heparanase is an endo-β-glucuronidase that cleaves heparan sulfate side chains from their proteoglycans. Thereby, heparanase liberates highly potent circulating heparan sulfate-fragments (HS-fragments) and triggers the fatal and excessive inflammatory ...

Flow‐Induced Secretion of Endothelial Heparanase Regulates Cardiac Lipoprotein Lipase and Changes Following Diabetes

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Lipoprotein lipase (LPL)‐derived fatty acid is a major source of energy for cardiac contraction. Synthesized in cardiomyocytes, LPL requires translocation to the vascular lumen for hydrolysis of lipoprotein triglyceride, an action mediated by ...

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Site‐specific O‐glycans influence lacritin structure and multimerization in tears

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Lacritin is an abundantly expressed glycoprotein in tear fluid and plays key roles in immune response, tear secretion, and bacterial killing. These biological functions are tightly regulated through several biochemical mechanisms including multimerization, proteolysis, and alternative splicing, especially within its C‐terminal domain.

Radiation-Induced Nephropathy in the Murine Model Is Ameliorated by Targeting Heparanase

Biomedicines, 2023
Agents used to reduce adverse effects common in cancer treatment modalities do not typically possess tumor-suppressing properties. We report that heparanase, an extracellular matrix-degrading enzyme, is a promising candidate for preventing radiation ...

Endothelial Exostosin‐1 Is Needed for Glycocalyx Integrity and Inflammatory Resolution in Acute Lung Injury

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 19, 15 October 2026.
Endothelial Ext1 is essential for maintaining heparan sulfate–rich endothelial glycocalyx integrity. Loss of Ext1 reduces glycocalyx thickness, resulting in enhanced leukocyte adhesion, increased vascular permeability, and exaggerated inflammatory responses following lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge.

Hypoxia Increases Heparanase Dependent Tumor Cell Invasion Which Can Be Inhibited by Anti-heparanase Antibodies.

, 2004
The β-endoglucuronidase heparanase plays an important role in tumor invasion, a process that is significantly enhanced by hypoxia. We have used a strategy of stable transfection with antisense to derive ovarian carcinoma cell lines that express different
