Aquaporin‐3 and aquaporin‐5 impact the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma spheroids

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the role of aquaporin‐3 (AQP3) and aquaporin‐5 (AQP5) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Both proteins are upregulated in PDAC and are associated with tumor progression and metastatic potential. Silencing AQP3 or AQP5 in PDAC spheroids results in decreased diameter, area, and overall growth, underscoring their key ...

Late diagnosis of Lesch–Nyhan disease complicated with end-stage renal disease and tophi burst: a case report

Renal Failure, 2020
Background Lesch–Nyhan disease (LND) is a rare X-linked recessive inborn error of purine metabolism. Late diagnosis of LND may cause significant morbidity. LND cases have never been reported in Indonesia.

Effects of IGFBP4 deficiency on human preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation through the IGF1R/AKT pathway

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
IGFBP4 knockdown (KD) impairs preadipocyte proliferation and is associated with IGF1R protein downregulation and attenuated AKT phosphorylation. The mechanisms by which IGFBP4 KD influences the IGF1R/AKT signaling pathway involve newly synthesized proteins and lysosomal degradation pathways. Created in BioRender.

Oleanolic acid blocks the purine salvage pathway for cancer therapy by inactivating SOD1 and stimulating lysosomal proteolysis

Molecular Therapy: Oncolytics, 2021
Metabolic reprogramming is a core hallmark of cancer and is key for tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Investigation of metabolic perturbation by anti-cancer compounds would allow a thorough understanding of the underlying mechanisms of these agents ...

Quality Thresholds for Angiogenesis Under Acoustic Manipulation in Engineered Vascular Tissues

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Defined biological and physical quality thresholds achieved through acoustic manipulation regulate cellular alignment and spatial organization, promoting self‐assembling vasculature, extracellular matrix deposition, and angiogenic responses, thereby establishing critical acoustic patterning requirements for engineered vascular tissue development in ...

Human hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1983
A mutant form of human hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRTToronto) was isolated from erythrocytes of a male patient with gout due to a partial deficiency of enzyme activity. The tryptic peptides of HPRTToronto were mapped by reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography in an attempt to define the precise abnormality in its primary

Falling from grace: HPRT is not suitable as an endogenous control for cancer-related studies

Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2019
HPRT is a housekeeping enzyme involved in recycling guanine and inosine in the purine salvage pathway. As a housekeeping gene, HPRT has been widely used as an endogenous control for molecular studies evaluating changes in gene expression.

Restoring Ureagenesis in Hepatocytes by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Genomic Addition to Arginase-deficient Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2016
Urea cycle disorders are incurable enzymopathies that affect nitrogen metabolism and typically lead to hyperammonemia. Arginase deficiency results from a mutation in Arg1, the enzyme regulating the final step of ureagenesis and typically results in ...

The housekeeping gene hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) regulates multiple developmental and metabolic pathways of murine embryonic stem cell neuronal differentiation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The mechanisms by which mutations of the purinergic housekeeping gene hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) cause the severe neurodevelopmental Lesch Nyhan Disease (LND) are poorly understood.

Hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase 1, a target of miR-125b-5p, promotes cell proliferation and invasion in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Heliyon, 2023
The mechanism of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (HPRT1) upregulation and its function in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains obscure.
