Progesterone through Progesterone Receptor B Isoform Promotes Rodent Embryonic Oligodendrogenesis

Cells, 2020
Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating cells of the central nervous system (CNS). These cells arise during the embryonic development by the specification of the neural stem cells to oligodendroglial progenitor cells (OPC); newly formed OPC proliferate ...

Carbachol increases intracellular free calcium concentrations in human granulosa-lutein cells [PDF]

, 1992
We investigated whether the stimulation of human granulosa-lutein cells with muscarinic and nicotinic receptor agonists can cause increases in intracellular free calcium (Ca2+), using Fura-2 microfluorimetry.

Adaptaquin is selectively toxic to glioma stem cells through disruption of iron and cholesterol metabolism

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Adaptaquin selectively kills glioma stem cells while sparing differentiated brain cells. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses show Adaptaquin disrupts iron and cholesterol homeostasis, with iron chelation amplifying cytotoxicity via cholesterol depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction, and elevated reactive oxygen species.

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-6 modulates proliferative antagonism in response to progesterone in breast cancer

Frontiers in Endocrinology
Breast cancer is one of the most diagnosed cancers worldwide. The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system promotes proliferation and survival in breast cancer cells and is regulated by 6 insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs).

A Progesterone-CXCR4 Axis Controls Mammary Progenitor Cell Fate in the Adult Gland

Stem Cell Reports, 2015
Progesterone drives mammary stem and progenitor cell dynamics through paracrine mechanisms that are currently not well understood. Here, we demonstrate that CXCR4, the receptor for stromal-derived factor 1 (SDF-1; CXC12), is a crucial instructor of ...

Labor-associated gene expression in the human uterine fundus, lower segment, and cervix [PDF]

, 2006
Background Preterm labor, failure to progress, and postpartum hemorrhage are the common causes of maternal and neonatal mortality or morbidity. All result from defects in the complex mechanisms controlling labor, which coordinate changes in the ...

Characterizing epithelial‐mesenchymal transition‐linked heterogeneity in breast cancer circulating tumor cells at a single‐cell level

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In over 50% of non‐metastatic breast cancer patients, circulating tumor cells (CTCs) along the whole epithelial‐mesenchymal transition spectrum are detected. Total CTC number and individual phenotypes relate to aggressive disease characteristics, including lymph node involvement and higher tumor proliferation. At the single‐cell level, mesenchymal CTCs

Exploring the Genetic Background of the Differences in Nest-Building Behavior in European Rabbit

Animals, 2020
Once a day, nursing and absentee mothering make the wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) an ideal model animal for measuring differences in maternal behavior.

TGF beta 1 attenuates expression of prolactin and IGFBP-1 in decidualized endometrial stromal cells by both SMAD-dependent and SMAD-independent pathways [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Decidualization (differentiation) of the endometrial stromal cells during the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle is essential for successful implantation.
