Production and characterization of murine monoclonal antibodies against human podocalyxin
AbstractPodocalyxin (podxl) is a protein with a peptide bone of ∼55.5 kDa that undergoes a post‐translational glycosylation, yielding a final molecular mass from ∼145 to ∼200 kDa. This protein is normally found covering the vascular side of the epithelial glomerular cells, the podocytes, and its presence is essential to maintain a normal renal function.

Spatial Transcriptomic Assessments of Gene Expression Profiles in Human Peri‐Implant Lesions
ABSTRACT Aim To analyse gene expression profiles in human tissue samples obtained from dental implant sites with or without peri‐implantitis. Materials and Methods Soft‐tissue biopsy samples obtained from patients presenting with implants with severe peri‐implantitis and adjacent reference implants with no signs of peri‐implantitis were analysed by ...

Podocalyxin regulates astrocytoma cell invasion and survival against temozolomide
Increased podocalyxin (PODXL) expression has been associated with a subset of aggressive types of cancer. To the best of our knowledge, the effect of PODXL on astrocytoma cell invasion and survival against chemotherapy agent was investigated for the first time in the present study.

Identification and characterization of novel glomerulus-associated genes and proteins [PDF]
The kidney is responsible for sieving the circulating blood to eliminate water-soluble waste products and potentially toxic substances from the body. The filtration step occurs in specialized filtration units called glomeruli.

Reconfigurable Microenvironments Uncover Mechano‐Sensing Timescales and Direct Cell Polarity
A synthetic DNA‐crosslinked cell culture matrix enables control over the mechanical microenvironment surrounding cells. Independent tuning of stiffness and stress relaxation uncovers distinct timescales of mechano‐sensing that regulate cell behavior.

MUC15 Ectodomain Architecture Regulates Integrin Clustering to Control Cancer Metastasis
This study uncovers a size‐dependent adhesion paradigm, demonstrating that the glycocalyx protein MUC15 suppresses pancreatic cancer progression by attenuating integrin activation, focal adhesion assembly, and YAP mechanotransduction. Integrating computational modeling and experimental validation, the work reveals a mechanical mechanism by which MUC15 ...

Determination of critical epitope of PcMab-47 against human podocalyxin
Podocalyxin (PODXL) is a type I transmembrane protein, which is highly glycosylated. PODXL is expressed in some types of human cancer tissues including oral, breast, and lung cancer tissues and may promote tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. We previously produced PcMab-47, a novel anti-PODXL monoclonal antibody (mAb) which reacts with endogenous ...

Erythropoietin modulation of podocalyxin and a proposed erythroblast niche
AbstractEpo's erythropoietic capacity is ascribed largely to its antiapoptotic actions. In part via gene profiling of bone marrow erythroblasts, Epo is now shown to selectively down-modulate the adhesion/migration factors chemokine receptor-4 (Cxcr4) and integrin alpha-4 (Itga4) and to up-modulate growth differentiation factor-3 (Gdf3), oncostatin-M ...
