Outcomes of progranulin gene therapy in the retina are dependent on time and route of delivery

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2021
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a family of neurodegenerative diseases caused by mutations to genes related to lysosomal function. One variant, CNL11, is caused by mutations to the gene encoding the protein progranulin, which regulates neuronal ...

Cancer Cell Metastasis: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Strategies

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
The schematic representation of intrinsic and extrinsic influences of cancer cell metastasis. Genomic evolution of metastatic tumor cells (MTCs) promotes their metastatic phenotypes and reconstruct the primary tumor microenvironment. During MTCs migration along different routes (blood circulation, lymphatic vessels, and perineuronal spaces), the ...

Progranulin, lysosomal regulation and neurodegenerative disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The discovery that heterozygous and homozygous mutations in the gene encoding progranulin are causally linked to frontotemporal dementia and lysosomal storage disease, respectively, reveals previously unrecognized roles of the progranulin protein in ...

EphA2 is a functional receptor for the growth factor progranulin. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Although the growth factor progranulin was discovered more than two decades ago, the functional receptor remains elusive. Here, we discovered that EphA2, a member of the large family of Ephrin receptor tyrosine kinases, is a functional signaling receptor

Longitudinal functional network connectivity changes across the clinical stages of C9orf72 hexanucleotide repeat expansion carriers

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Intrinsic functional connectivity network abnormalities in C9orf72 hexanucleotide repeat expansion carriers emerge during the asymptomatic phase, yet longitudinal studies remain limited. We examined cross‐sectional abnormalities and longitudinal connectivity changes across clinical stages.

Progranulin autoantibodies in systemic sclerosis and autoimmune connective tissue disorders: A preliminary study

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2019
Objective The present study aimed to investigate progranulin autoantibodies in systemic sclerosis and autoimmune connective tissue disorders. Progranulin is a physiologic tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist. Progranulin antibodies decrease progranulin

Immunomodulatory Effects of Tokishakuyakusan on Progesterone Withdrawal–Induced Uterine Inflammation in Pregnant Mice

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Reproductive Immunology, Volume 96, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Problem Tokishakuyakusan (TSS) is a traditional Japanese Kampo medicine widely used to support pregnancy; however, its molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the progesterone‐related immunomodulatory mechanisms underlying the pregnancy‐supportive effects of TSS using a mouse model of progesterone ...

Impaired β-glucocerebrosidase activity and processing in frontotemporal dementia due to progranulin mutations

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica Communications, 2019
Loss-of-function mutations in progranulin (GRN) are a major autosomal dominant cause of frontotemporal dementia. Most pathogenic GRN mutations result in progranulin haploinsufficiency, which is thought to cause frontotemporal dementia in GRN mutation ...

Selective depletion of microglial progranulin in mice is not sufficient to cause neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis or neuroinflammation

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2017
Background Progranulin deficiency due to heterozygous null mutations in the GRN gene are a common cause of familial frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), while homozygous loss-of-function GRN mutations are thought to be a rare cause of neuronal ...
