Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We investigated whether hypomethylating agents (HMAs) used in myeloid malignancies induce somatic retrotransposition. Our findings indicate that HMA treatment increases L1‐encoded protein expression but does not lead to detectable de novo retrotransposition events in either patient samples or cell lines.

A novel role for lipid droplets in the organismal antibacterial response
eLife, 2012 We previously discovered histones bound to cytosolic lipid droplets (LDs); here we show that this forms a cellular antibacterial defense system. Sequestered on droplets under normal conditions, in the presence of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or ...

Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) promote atherosclerosis by inducing proinflammatory cytokines, but the underlying mechanism remains unknown. NET DNA is immunogenic, but given the cytotoxicity of NET histones, it is unclear how it activates

A bioinformatics screen identifies TCF19 as an aggressiveness‐sustaining gene in prostate cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Gene expression meta‐analysis in multiple prostate cancer patient cohorts identifies Transcription factor 19 (TCF19) as an aggressiveness‐sustaining gene with prognostic potential. TCF19 is a gene repressed by androgen signaling that sustains core cancer‐related processes such as vascular permeability or tumor growth and metastasis.

Recombinant Thrombomodulin Suppresses Histone-Induced Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Histones, the major protein components of chromatin, are released into the extracellular space during sepsis, trauma, and ischemia-reperfusion injury, and subsequently mediate organ failure.

Modeling hepatic fibrosis in TP53 knockout iPSC‐derived human liver organoids
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study developed iPSC‐derived human liver organoids with TP53 gene knockout to model human liver fibrosis. These organoids showed elevated myofibroblast activation, early disease markers, and advanced fibrotic hallmarks. The use of profibrotic differentiation medium further amplified the fibrotic signature seen in the organoids.

, 2018 Background: The chromatin remodelers of the SWI/SNF family are critical transcriptional regulators. Recognition of lysine acetylation through a bromodomain (BRD) component is key to SWI/SNF function; in most eukaryotes, this function is attributed to ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.In over 50% of non‐metastatic breast cancer patients, circulating tumor cells (CTCs) along the whole epithelial‐mesenchymal transition spectrum are detected. Total CTC number and individual phenotypes relate to aggressive disease characteristics, including lymph node involvement and higher tumor proliferation. At the single‐cell level, mesenchymal CTCs

Suboptimal extracellular pH values alter DNA damage response to induced double‐strand breaks
FEBS Open Bio, 2018 Conditions leading to unrepaired DNA double‐stranded breaks are potent inducers of genetic instability. Systemic conditions may lead to fluctuation of hydrogen ions in the cellular microenvironment, and we show that small variations in extracellular pH ...

Preparation and characterization of renal cell peptides from fetal rats for their antitumor activity
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study aimed to prepare renal cells (RCs) from fetal rats which were digested by enzymes. Candidate peptides RCPs were characterized by capillary HPLC and MS and their bioactivity was predicted using peptideranker. The predicted top 10 bioactive peptides were synthesized.
