Protein disulfide isomerase as an antithrombotic target [PDF]

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2013
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is a ubiquitously expressed oxidoreductase required for proper protein folding. It is highly concentrated in the endoplasmic reticulum, but can also be released into the extracellular environment. Several in vivo thrombosis models have demonstrated that vascular PDI secreted by platelets and endothelial cells is ...

The Role of Oxidative Stress in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Oxidative stress is involved in multiple chemical reactions that take place in different intracellular organelles: mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, autophagy, and aging, and can be influenced by exogenous factors: nutrition, physical activity, psychological status, environmental conditions, microbiome, and drugs.

GABAB receptor‐mediated modulation of sensory neuron excitability: Roles of CaV2.2, G‐protein‐coupled inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels, and hyperpolarisation‐activated cyclic nucleotide‐gated (HCN) channels in human and mouse nociception

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic visceral pain is a key symptom of irritable bowel syndrome. Modulation of voltage‐gated calcium and potassium channels by G protein‐coupled receptors plays a key role in dampening nociceptive transmission. Both baclofen and the analgesic peptide α‐conotoxin Vc1.1 activate GABAB receptors (GABABR), resulting in inhibition of CaV2.2 and ...

Intercellular Horizontal Transfer of TXNDC5 mRNA via Extracellular Vesicles Contributes to Tumor‐Associated Macrophage‐Mediated Prostate Cancer Metastasis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.
This study investigates the role of M2 macrophage‐derived extracellular vesicles (M2 EVs) in prostate cancer (PCa) metastasis. Mechanistically, M2 EVs horizontally transfer TXNDC5 mRNA to PCa cells, where the molecule induces the mesenchymal‐like state (MLS), enhancing PCa migration and invasion.

Protein Disulfide Isomerase Modulates the Activation of Thyroid Hormone Receptors

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) are responsible for mediating thyroid hormone (T3 and T4) actions at a cellular level. They belong to the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily and execute their main functions inside the cell nuclei as hormone-regulated ...
