Midkine’s Role in Cardiac Pathology

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2017
Midkine (MDK) is a heparin-binding growth factor that is normally expressed in mid-gestational development mediating mesenchymal and epithelial interactions. As organisms age, expression of MDK diminishes; however, in adults, MDK expression is associated

Midkine promotes glioblastoma progression via PI3K-Akt signaling

open access: yesCancer Cell International, 2021
Background Our previous bioinformatics-based study found that midkine (MDK) was associated with poor prognosis of glioblastoma (GBM). However, the mechanism of MDK in GBM remains elusive.

The Growth Factor Midkine Antagonizes VEGF Signaling In Vitro and In Vivo

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2008
Midkine (MDK) is a heparin-binding growth factor involved in growth, survival, migration, and differentiation of various target cells and dysregulation of MDK signaling is implicated in a variety of inflammatory diseases and cancers.

Plasma midkine (MDK) concentrations in healthy children.

open access: yes, 2019
Plasma was obtained from healthy, non-obese children younger than 18 years (n = 222) from the United States or South Korea. Plasma midkine concentration was measured by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Autocrine and paracrine effects of MDK promote lymph node metastasis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is the main metastatic pathway of cervical cancer, which is closely related to 5-year survival rate of cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), yet the underlying mechanism remains unconfirmed.
