Making new biomarkers a reality: the case of serum human epididymis protein 4 [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM), 2018 Abstract Background Measurement of human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) in serum has recently been proposed for clinical use in the framework of ovarian cancer (OvCa). We sought to retrace the translational phase and the clinical implementation steps boosting HE4’s clinical value and discuss the effects ...

VIEW, EarlyView.Ovarian cancer has been linked to the microbiome as a potential environmental contributor, but how this association relates to tumor progression remains unclear. By comparing tumor and nontumor tissues, we identified a severity‐associated microbial and metabolic signature and showed that probiotics can partially restore immune balance and slow tumor ...

Luteinizing hormone receptor knockout mouse: What has it taught us?
Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Luteinizing hormone (LH), along with its agonist choriongonadotropin (hCG) in humans, is the key hormone responsible for the tropic regulation of the gonadal function. LH and hCG act through their cognate receptor, the luteinizing hormone/choriongonadotropin receptor (LHCGR; more appropriately LHR in rodents lacking CG), located in the testis ...

The role of iron in normal and impaired testicular function
Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Iron plays a critical role in testicular physiology, impacting spermatogenesis, testosterone production, and overall testicular function. Iron homeostasis is maintained through systemic and cellular regulatory mechanisms, including hepcidin‐mediated systemic iron control and the iron‐responsive element/iron regulatory protein (IRE/IRP) system ...

Mouse genome engineering uncovers 18 genes dispensable for male reproduction
Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Male infertility is an intricate multifactorial disease involving the interplay between genetic and environmental factors. Genetic anomalies account for more than 15% of all male infertility cases; however, diagnosing them exhibits enormous challenges due to variable symptomatic presentations and limited knowledge of gene functions.

Mfsd14a disruption causes globozoospermia [PDF]
, 2016 The Mfsd14a gene, previously called Hiat1, encodes a transmembrane protein of unknown function with homology to the solute carrier protein family. To study the function of the MFSD14A protein, mutant mice (Mus musculus, strain 129S6Sv/Ev) were generated ...

Human Epididymis Protein 4 Reference Intervals in a Multiethnic Asian Women Population
Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, 2012 Ovarian cancer is ranked as the fifth most common cause of cancer death in women. In Malaysia, it is the fourth most common cancer in females. CA125 has been the tumor marker of choice in ovarian cancer but its diagnostic specificity in early stages is only 50%.

Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Background The oxytocin receptor (OR) is a G‐protein‐coupled receptor recently identified in human spermatozoa, whose origin and role in sperm physiology remain unknown. Objectives In this study, using the pig as a model, we examine the presence of the OR in ejaculated spermatozoa through immunofluorescence and immunoblotting, and investigate ...
