Midkine: A multifaceted driver of atherosclerosis
Clinica Chimica Acta, 2021Atherosclerosis constitutes the pathological basis of life-threatening events, including heart attack and stroke. Midkine is a heparin-binding growth factor and forms a small protein family with pleiotrophin. Under inflammatory or hypoxic conditions, midkine expression is up-regulated. Upon binding to its receptors, midkine can activate multiple signal

Midkine promoter-based adenoviral suicide gene therapy to midkine-positive pediatric tumor
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2002Suicide gene therapy based on the delivery of the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene combined with ganciclovir (HSV-tk/GCV) is a promising approach for cancer treatment. Adenoviral (Ad) vectors are useful gene delivery vehicles for this approach; however, because these agents possess a high natural tropism for the liver, systems must be ...

Recognition of Glycosaminoglycans by Midkine
2003Publisher Summary This chapter describes the principal materials and methods useful for analyzing the recognition of glycosaminoglycans by midkine (MK). Two preparative methods of MK using the baculovirus system and from the culture supernatant of L cells transfected with MK cDNA are described with comments on the storage of MK solution as well MK ...

Midkine and secondary neurulation
Teratology, 1997Midkine (MK) is a growth factor with documented neurotrophic activity for central nervous system neurons. It has also been shown to induce conversion of pluripotent mesenchymal P19 embryonic carcinoma cells into neuroepithelial derivatives. During the development of the chick embryonic neuraxis, two separate events occur.

Osteosarcoma is a malignant tumour arising from transformed cells of mesenchymal origin. It is the most common malignant bone tumour of the teenage years. Because there is no prognostic marker available except metastasis and because molecular therapy has not yet been developed in osteosarcoma, the search continues for useful biomarkers and effective ...

Midkine Promotes Neuroblastoma through Notch2 Signaling
Cancer Research, 2013Abstract Midkine is a heparin-binding growth factor highly expressed in various cancers, including neuroblastoma, the most common extracranial pediatric solid tumor. Prognosis of patients with neuroblastoma in which MYCN is amplified remains particularly poor.

Urology, 2007
To develop a novel therapeutic strategy against human bladder cancer using Ad-MK-E1a-a midkine (MK) promoter-regulated, conditionally replicating, adenovirus.We tested several human cancer cell lines in vitro, including those of bladder cancer (KK47, 5637, and T24), lung cancer (A549), and head and neck cancer (H891).

Rheumatoid Arthritis and Midkine
2012Midkine (MK) is expressed in synovial tissues of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and MK concentration are elevated in synovial fluid and serum of the vast majority of patients with the disease. Serum MK levels might aid the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, since 71.9% of patients that test negative for rheumatoid factor exhibited elevated levels.

Expression of midkine in the cochlea
Hearing Research, 2001Midkine (MK) is one of a new family of heparin-binding growth factors involved in the regulation of growth and differentiation. We have analyzed expression of MK in the cochlea using ICR mice within 1 day from birth. The expression of MK in the cochlea was confirmed by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry.
