Identification and characterisation of calcitonin receptor isoforms expressed in glioblastoma derived glioma stem and U‐87 MG cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Glioblastoma cells express calcitonin receptor variants (CT receptor isoforms) that may help them survive stress. Using qPCR, transcript‐specific long‐read nanopore sequencing, immunofluorescence co‐localisation and comparative sequence analysis, this study identifies a novel alternatively spliced CALCR transcript that encodes the CTb receptor isoform ...

The C‐terminal truncated splicing variant of NK1R negatively modulates substance P‐stimulated NK1R signaling

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The neurokinin 1 receptor exists as full‐length (NK1L) and C‐terminally truncated (NK1S) splice variants. We show that NK1S heterodimerizes with NK1L, impairing Gαq coupling and Ca2+ mobilization while enhancing β‐arrestin1 recruitment. NK1S suppresses substance P‐driven gene expression and cell migration, revealing NK1S as an endogenous biased ...

miRNA Enriched in Human Neuroblast Nuclei Bind the MAZ Transcription Factor and Their Precursors Contain the MAZ Consensus Motif

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
While the cytoplasmic function of microRNA (miRNA) as post-transcriptional regulators of mRNA has been the subject of significant research effort, their activity in the nucleus is less well characterized.

Human and Mouse Chromosomal Mapping of Stac, a Neuron-Specific Protein with an SH3 Domain

Genomics, 1998
Stac is a novel neuron-specific protein consisting of a cysteine-rich domain and an SH3 domain. We determined the chromosomal location of both the mouse and the human Stac genes (Stac and STAC). By linkage analysis using a mouse recombinant inbred (RI) strain panel (BXD), it was determined that Stac is located between D9mit15 and D9mit20 at the distal ...

MARK4 enhances stress granule formation under oxidative stress and increases tau accumulation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
MARK4 (red dots) localizes to stress granules (orange dots) and promotes their formation under oxidative stress by modulating TIA1 (blue dots). MARK4 and TIA1 synergistically increase tau (purple) accumulation, and the reduction of the TIA1 ortholog suppresses neurodegeneration in a fly model.

Beta1 subunits enable fentanyl‐induced BK channel activation and opioid regulation of cerebral artery diameter

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
During the current opioid crisis, the majority of overdose deaths are attributed to ultra‐potent synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl. While fentanyl exerts its action via opioid receptors, we propose that potassium channels in the brain blood vessels may also sense fentanyl.

Axons are injured by antigen-specific CD8+ T cells through a MHC class I- and granzyme B-dependent mechanism

Neurobiology of Disease, 2013
Axon injury is a central determinant of irreversible neurological deficit and disease progression in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). CD8+ lymphocytes (CTLs) within inflammatory demyelinated MS lesions correlate with acute axon injury and ...

Dactolisib outperforms Rapamycin in potentiating apoptosis induced by XPO1, Bcl‐2 and Mcl‐1 blockade in preclinical glioblastoma models

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The PAM pathway and its impact on cellular metabolism. Color‐coded key symbols represent Rapamycin (R, orange, targeting mTOR) and Dactolisib (D, green, targeting PI3K/mTOR), indicating their sites of action. Created with BioRenders.com. Glioblastoma resists therapy through interconnected survival programs.

GBS‐MeDIP: A method for the simultaneous identification of genetic and epigenetic variants in tumors

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
GBS‐MeDIP combines DNA sequencing with enrichment of methylated DNA to profile genetic and epigenetic variation in the same reduced genomic fraction. Applied to gastric cancer and parathyroid tumors, it identifies sequence variants, copy number changes, and differentially methylated regions together, helping distinguish true epigenetic changes from ...

Deep visual proteomics uncovers nociceptor diversity and pain targets

Nature Communications
The richness of our somatosensory experience is reflected in the functional diversity of somatic sensory neurons. Single-cell RNA sequencing of sensory neurons has revealed a molecular basis for such diversity1–3.
