Identification of the plant mitochondrial OrfX protein: A mass spectrometry approach

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The mitochondrial genome of plants contains an open reading frame, orfx, which encodes a rare protein that has so far escaped mass spectrometric detection. The protein resembles the c‐subunit of bacterial twin‐arginine‐motif‐dependent protein translocases (TatC).

The role of T cell miRNAs for regulatory T cell induction in islet autoimmunity

Molecular Metabolism, 2019
Background: microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical contributors to immune regulation and homeostasis, and their dysregulation is involved in the aberrant differentiation and function of T cell subsets.

Keratin 19 as a prognostic marker and contributing factor of metastasis and chemoresistance in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Keratin 19 (KRT19) is overexpressed in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer with high levels of Kallikrein‐related peptidases (KLK) 4–7 and is associated with poor survival. In vivo analyses demonstrate that elevated KRT19 increases peritoneal tumour burden.

miRNA142-3p targets Tet2 and impairs Treg differentiation and stability in models of type 1 diabetes

Nature Communications, 2019
miRNA142-3p and Tet2 are separately known to regulate Treg. Here the authors show that miRNA142-3p targets Tet2 and by this opposes Treg differentiation in autoimmune diabetes.

Immune tolerance induced by immune-homeostatic particles

Engineered Regeneration, 2021
Autoimmune diseases, induced by dysfunction of the adaptive immune system, are the common disease categories worldwide. Recently, regulatory T cells (Tregs) enhancing therapies have been demonstrated to treat autoimmune diseases, which could induce ...

Establishment of a humanized patient‐derived xenograft mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer for preclinical evaluation of combination immunotherapy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We have established a humanized orthotopic patient‐derived xenograft (Hu‐oPDX) mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) that recapitulates human tumor–immune interactions. Using combined anti‐PD‐L1/anti‐CD73 immunotherapy, we demonstrate the model's improved biological relevance and enhanced translational value for preclinical ...

Distribution of HLA-ABC allele groups in a cohort of Chilean rheumatoid arthritis patients and healthy individuals

Biological Research
Background Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease in which HLA-DRB1 alleles encoding the “Shared Epitope” (SE), located in the β-chain of class II HLA-DR molecules, constitute the main genetic risk factor. However, there is scarce information

CCDC80 suppresses high‐grade serous ovarian cancer migration via negative regulation of B7‐H3

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PAX8 is a lineage‐specific master regulator of transcription in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) progression. We show for the first time that PAX8 facilitates proliferation and metastasis by repressing the cell autonomous tumor suppressor CCDC80 and inducing B7‐H3 expression.

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

Oncogenic DMTF1β promotes cancer cell motility by regulating autophagy through ULK1 stabilization

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In the current study, we demonstrate that the oncogene DMTF1β regulates ULK1 stability by reducing its proteasomal degradation in cancer cells. This stabilization enables ULK1 to induce autophagy, which in turn facilitates cancer cell migration. Consequently, reduced DMTF1β levels lead to decreased autophagy and impaired cancer cell migration.
