Hedgehog pathway dysregulation contributes to the pathogenesis of human gastrointestinal stromal tumors via GLI-mediated activation of KIT expression. [PDF]

, 2016
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) arise within the interstitial cell of Cajal (ICC) lineage due to activating KIT/PDGFRA mutations. Both ICC and GIST possess primary cilia (PC), which coordinate PDGFRA and Hedgehog signaling, regulators of ...

Primary cilia in gastrointestinal stromal tumors

Neoplasma, 2014
The primary cilium is a solitary, sensory, non-motile microtubule-based structure that arises from the centrosome and is projected from the surface of most human cells. The objective of the current pilot study was to conduct an investigation of presence and frequency of cilia in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).The presence of primary cilia in ...

Tracking of [14C]Polystyrene Nanoplastics in Pregnant Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates [14C]polystyrene nanoplastic ([14C]PS) translocation in late‐stage pregnant mice after intranasal (0.5 mg of [14C]PS on GD12, GD14, and GD16, n = 6) and intravenous administration (1.5 mg of [14C]PS on GD16, n = 6). 14C‐radiolabel allows quantitative tracking of unmodified polystyrene nanoplastics.

Deciphering the Impact of RAC1‐SPTAN1 in ARPKD Cystogenesis Using Multifaceted Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Distal/connecting tubules expressing SLC8A1 have been suggested as a potential origin of ARPKD cysts. SPTAN1 has been identified as a key molecule in ARPKD cyst formation. Restoring SPTAN1 in PKHD1−/− organoids reduced cyst formation, normalized calcium levels, and decreased RAC1/c‐FOS expression, highlighting SPTAN1's role in ARPKD and the potential ...

The primary cilium as a multiple cellular signaling scaffold in development and disease [PDF]

BMB Reports, 2012
Primary cilia, single hair-like appendage on the surface of themost mammalian cells, were once considered to be vestigialcellular organelles for a past century because of their tinystructure and unknown function.

Tubulins in C. elegans [PDF]

, 2018
The C. elegans tubulin family is composed of nine α-, six β-, and one γ-tubulin. Tubulins are highly conserved, functioning as α-β heterodimers that assemble into microtubules.

Endometrial Epithelial Lactate Deficiency Drives CD8+ T‐Cells Dysregulation in Unexplained Recurrent Implantation Failure

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Unexplained recurrent implantation failure (RIF) represents a significant clinical challenge. Our results demonstrate that reduced lactate production in the RIF endometrium impairs the suppression of cytotoxic CD8+ T‑cells, allowing their proliferation and thereby disrupting the local immune balance essential for successful embryo implantation.

The Leishmania major BBSome subunit BBS1 is essential for parasite virulence in the mammalian host [PDF]

, 2013
Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a human genetic disorder with a spectrum of symptoms caused by primary cilium dysfunction. The disease is caused by mutations in one of at least 17 identified genes, of which seven encode subunits of the BBSome, a protein ...

Unveiling a New Link: Cholesterol Deficiency in Smith–Lemli–Opitz and Niemann–Pick C as a Driver of Ciliopathies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

Abnormal photoreceptor outer segment development and early retinal degeneration in kif3a mutant zebrafish [PDF]

, 2016
Photoreceptors are highly specialized sensory neurons that possess a modified primary cilium called the outer segment. Photoreceptor outer segment formation and maintenance require highly active protein transport via a process known as intraflagellar ...
