Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of several types of tumors. The biological effects of PAF are mediated by the PAF receptor (PAFR), which can be expressed by tumor cells and host cells that infiltrate the tumor

Recent advances in managing gastrointestinal stromal tumor [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
Constitutive activating mutations in KIT and platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα) are heavily involved in the pathobiology of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).

Dynamin 2 is required for GPVI signaling and platelet hemostatic function in mice
Receptor-mediated endocytosis, which contributes to a wide range of cellular functions, including receptor signaling, cell adhesion, and migration, requires endocytic vesicle release by the large GTPase dynamin 2.

A Perspective of Coagulation Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis and in Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis [PDF]
A key role of both coagulation and vascular thrombosis has been reported since the first descriptions of multiple sclerosis (MS). Subsequently, the observation of a close concordance between perivascular fibrin(ogen) deposition and the occurrence of ...

Platelet-activating factor receptor in GtoPdb v.2023.1
Platelet-activating factor (PAF, 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is an ether phospholipid mediator associated with platelet coagulation, but also subserves inflammatory roles. The PAF receptor (provisional nomenclature recommended by NC-IUPHAR [38]) is activated by PAF and other suggested endogenous ligands are oxidized ...

Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated

Growth differentiation factor (GDF)-15 inhibits platelet activation, prevents thrombus formation, and has been linked to bleeding events. This was a prospective study including 51 left-ventricular assist device (LVAD) patients on aspirin and ...

Overexpression of Na+/Mg2+ exchanger SLC41A1 attenuates pro-survival signaling [PDF]
The Na+/Mg2+ exchanger SLC41A1 (A1), a key component of intracellular Mg homeostasis (IMH), is the major cellular Mg2+ efflux system, and its overexpression decreases [Mg2+]intracellular.

Receptor‐independent metabolism of platelet‐activating factor by myelogenous cells [PDF]
Human neutrophils incorporate and metabolize platelet‐activating factor (PAF). We dissociated these events from PAF binding to its receptors. Cells were pretreated with either pronase, a PAF antagonist (L652731), or excess PAF. This reduced PAF receptor numbers by 70 to almost 100% but had no comparable effect upon the neutrophil's ability to ...
