Epithelial Cell Line Derived from Endometriotic Lesion Mimics Macrophage Nervous Mechanism of Pain Generation on Proteome and Metabolome Levels

Biomolecules, 2021
Endometriosis is a benign disease affecting one in ten women of reproductive age worldwide. Although the pain level is not correlated to the extent of the disease, it is still one of the cardinal symptoms strongly affecting the patients’ quality of life.

Neuropilins in the Context of Tumor Vasculature [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Neuropilin-1 and Neuropilin-2 form a small family of plasma membrane spanning receptors originally identified by the binding of semaphorin and vascular endothelial growth factor. Having no cytosolic protein kinase domain, they function predominantly as co-receptors of other receptors for various ligands.

Mixed lineage kinase 3 mediates SARS‐CoV‐2‐induced kidney injury via the Hsp70‐IL‐17A axis

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Kidney samples from patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) showed upregulated expression and activity of Mixed Lineage Kinase (MLK3). Based on the mechanistic studies, we identified MLK3 as a critical player in promoting SARS‐CoV‐2‐induced kidney injury.

Plasma and Synovial Fluid VEGF‐A and Neuropilin‐1 in Knee Osteoarthritis: Associations With Radiographic Severity, Pain Sensitization‐Related Features, and Disease Burden

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate associations of plasma and synovial fluid vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF‐A) and neuropilin‐1 (NRP1) levels with radiographic severity, pain sensitization‐related features, and disease burden in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Plasma VEGF‐A and NRP1 were measured by sandwich ELISA in 120 patients with KOA (

Jack of many trades: Multifaceted role of neuropilins in pancreatic cancer

Cancer Medicine, 2018
Neuropilins (NRPs) have been described as receptors for class 3 semaphorins and coreceptors for a plethora of ligands, such as members of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family of angiogenic cytokines and transforming growth factor (TGF ...

Transmembrane recognition of the semaphorin co-receptors neuropilin 1 and plexin A1: coarse-grained simulations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The cancer associated class 3 semaphorins require direct binding to neuropilins and association to plexins to trigger cell signaling. Here, we address the role of the transmembrane domains of neuropilin 1 and plexin A1 for the dimerization of the two ...

Relationship between soluble neuropilin-1 in the gingival crevicular fluid of early pregnant women and different severities of periodontitis: A cross-sectional study

Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research, 2023
Background: Pregnancy exacerbates the periodontal inflammation; however, the biological mediators involved are not well characterized. Neuropilins (NRPs) are transmembrane glycoproteins involved in physiological and pathogenic processes such as ...

Advances and challenges in experimental models for Epstein–Barr virus research

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), the first identified human oncovirus, is a ubiquitous γ‐herpesvirus etiologically linked to diverse malignancies, lymphoproliferative disorders, and autoimmune diseases. Experimental models are pivotal for unraveling the infection and pathogenesis mechanisms, life cycle regulation, as well as development and ...

Peptide‐directed nanovehicles enabling tumor‐selective ROS amplification and antitumor immunity

VIEW, EarlyView.
Cancer cells are vulnerable to oxidative stress, yet exploit immune tolerance to escape destruction. In contrast, their metabolic profile is markedly altered to support rapid proliferation, accompanied by elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐
