Myoferlin-Mediated Lysosomal Exocytosis Regulates Cytotoxicity by Phagocytes [PDF]
Abstract During inflammation, phagocytes release digestive enzymes from lysosomes to degrade harmful cells such as pathogens and tumor cells. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating this process are poorly understood. In this study, we identified myoferlin as a critical regulator of lysosomal exocytosis by mouse phagocytes ...

Expression of myoferlin in human airway epithelium and its role in cell adhesion and zonula occludens-1 expression. [PDF]
Normal airway epithelial barrier function is maintained by cell-cell contacts which require the translocation of adhesion proteins at the cell surface, through membrane vesicle trafficking and fusion events.

c-Met and EPHA7 Receptor Tyrosine Kinases Are Related to Prognosis in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma: Focusing on the Association with Myoferlin Expression. [PDF]
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are important targets for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) treatment. Myoferlin is a strong regulator of RTKs. To identify myoferlin-associated RTKs and their prognostic implications in ccRCC, we investigated the ...

Myoferlin regulation by NFAT in muscle injury, regeneration and repair [PDF]
Ferlin proteins mediate membrane-fusion events in response to Ca2+. Myoferlin, a member of the ferlin family, is required for normal muscle development, during which it mediates myoblast fusion. We isolated both damaged and intact myofibers from a mouse model of muscular dystrophy using laser-capture microdissection and found that the levels of ...

The Anti-Tumor Effect of HDAC Inhibition in a Human Pancreas Cancer Model Is Significantly Improved by the Simultaneous Inhibition of Cyclooxygenase 2 [PDF]
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer death worldwide, with no satisfactory treatment to date. In this study, we tested whether the combined inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and class I histone deacetylase (HDAC ...

Crystal structures of the human Dysferlin inner DysF domain [PDF]
Background: Mutations in dysferlin, the first protein linked with the cell membrane repair mechanism, causes a group of muscular dystrophies called dysferlinopathies.

Solution structure of the inner DysF domain of myoferlin and implications for limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2b [PDF]
Mutations in the protein dysferlin, a member of the ferlin family, lead to limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B and Myoshi myopathy. The ferlins are large proteins characterised by multiple C2 domains and a single C-terminal membrane-spanning helix ...

Abstract Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by periodontal pathogens in subgingival plaque and is associated with systemic inflammatory diseases. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from host cells and pathogens carry a variety of biological molecules and are of interest for their role in disease progression and as diagnostic ...

Annexin‐A5 and annexin‐A6 silencing prevents metastasis of breast cancer cells in zebrafish
Invasive and metastatic cancer cells are exposed to major mechanical constraints, which may induce plasma membrane damages. We show that highly invasive breast cancer cells survive to these mechanical stresses thanks to annexin‐A5 (ANXA5) and ANXA6, which are two major players of the membrane repair machinery.
