NRP1 and MMP9 are dual targets of RNA‐binding protein QKI5 to alter VEGF‐R/ NRP1 signalling in trophoblasts in preeclampsia [PDF]
AbstractPreeclampsia (PE) is characterized by placental ischemia and hypoxia, resulting in abnormal casting of the uterine spiral artery, which is mainly caused by insufficient trophoblastic cell infiltration. A reduction in levels of growth factor‐based signalling via Neuropilin‐1 (NRP1) has been shown to contribute to dysfunctional trophoblast ...

Crosstalk between NRP1 and autophagy in the tumor microenvironment: from molecular mechanisms to therapeutic targeting [PDF]
Neuropilin-1 (NRP1) is overexpressed in various malignant solid tumors, modulating the tumor microenvironment (TME) via multiple mechanisms to promote immune suppression, angiogenesis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), ultimately resulting in ...

Targeting neuropilin-1 and neutralizing interleukin-6 inhibits cancer stem cell formation in bladder cancer cells [PDF]
Background Bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) remains a clinical challenge because of its high recurrence rate and the persistence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) within the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Pseudokinase NRP1 facilitates endocytosis of transferrin in the African trypanosome
Trypanosoma brucei causes human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) and nagana in cattle. During infection of a vertebrate, endocytosis of host transferrin (Tf) is important for viability of the parasite.

An Essential NRP1-Mediated Role for Tagln2 in Gastric Cancer Angiogenesis [PDF]
Knowledge about the precise biological role and underlying mechanism of Tagln2 in tumor progression is relatively limited, especially in angiogenesis focused on tumor derived endothelial cells (ECs) has rarely been reported. Here, the function, molecular mechanism and potential clinical value of Tagln2 in gastric cancer (GC) angiogenesis were ...

Segregation Analysis of Rare NRP1 and NRP2 Variants in Families with Lymphedema [PDF]
Neuropilins are transmembrane coreceptors expressed by endothelial cells and neurons. NRP1 and NRP2 bind a variety of ligands, by which they trigger cell signaling, and are important in the development of lymphatic valves and lymphatic capillaries, respectively.

miRNA-145/miRNA-205 inhibits proliferation and invasion of uveal melanoma cells by targeting NPR1/CDC42 [PDF]
AIM: To investigate the role of microRNA-145 (miRNA-145) and microRNA-205 (miRNA-205) in proliferation and invasion of uveal melanoma (UM) cells. METHODS: The expression level of miRNA-145 and miRNA-205 from samples of UM patients were determined by ...

Targeting neuropilin-1 interactions is a promising anti-tumor strategy
. Neuropilins (NRP1 and NRP2) are multifunctional receptor proteins that are involved in nerve, blood vessel, and tumor development. NRP1 was first found to be expressed in neurons, but subsequent studies have demonstrated its surface expression in cells
