Congenital PAX6-aniridia is a rare panocular disease resulting from limbal stem cell deficiency. In PAX6-aniridia, the downregulation of the retinol-metabolizing enzymes ADH7 (All-trans-retinol dehydrogenase 7) and ALDH1A1/A3 (Retinal dehydrogenase 1 ...

Tescalcin over-expression increases Keratin 18 and 19 in K562 cells
Tescalcin (TESC) has been shown to be essential in mammalian cells as a regulator of intracellular Ca2+. Ca2+ is a second messenger functioning in many metabolic pathways as well as in cell differentiation, cell size and the cell cycle. K562 cells over-expressing TESC change their morphology and adopt adherent properties.

Clinical and Prognostic Significances of Cytokeratin 19 and KIT Expression in Surgically Resectable Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors [PDF]
Background: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are malignant endocrine neoplasms that present diverse clinical behaviors. Therefore, identification of biomarkers of PanNETs is important for stratification of the prognosis of PanNET patients ...

Human epithelium contains keratin, which is expressed during differentiation. Depending on the target cell type, different types of keratin are expressed, and their alterations seem to represent changes in cell properties. The basal cells of oral epithelium express keratin 5 (K5), K14, K15 and K19, but their alterations in tumors are unclear.

Expression of keratins 8, 18, and 19 in epithelia of atrophic oral lichen planus [PDF]
Keratins form intermediate filaments of the cytoskeleton in keratinocytes and have roles in cell structure, signaling, intracellular transport, and cell death. Oral lichen planus (OLP) is an oral inflammatory disease with derangements in basal keratinocytes and disruption of the basal membrane.

Heterogeneity of estrogen receptor expression in circulating tumor cells from metastatic breast cancer patients. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Endocrine treatment is the most preferable systemic treatment in metastatic breast cancer patients that have had an estrogen receptor (ER) positive primary tumor or metastatic lesions, however, approximately 20% of these patients do not ...

When using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to achieve hair follicle (HF) replacement, we found it best to emulate the earliest fundamental developmental processes of gastrulation, ectodermal lineage commitment, and dermogenesis.

The type I keratin 19 is unusual in its tissue distribution in that under normal circumstances it does not seem to be restricted, as the other keratins are, to expression in either stratified or simple epithelia. In addition to the previously reported distribution of keratin 19 in human tissues, we have observed keratin 19 in epidermal basal cells, in ...

Cross-talk between microRNA-let7c and transforming growth factor-β2 during epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of retinal pigment epithelial cells [PDF]
AIM: To explore the roles of microRNA-let7c (miR-let7c) and transforming growth factor-β2 (TGF-β2) and cellular signaling during epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of retinal pigment epithelial cells. METHODS: Retinal pigment epithelial (ARPE-19)
