The role of platelet-derived growth factor in radiation injury to the lower urinary tract [PDF]

, 2011
MD ResApproximately half of all patients diagnosed with cancer will receive radiotherapy as a part of the management of their tumours. Radiotherapy allows organ sparing treatment but it is associated with a number of acute and late unwanted effects ...

Correlation of Nerve Growth Factor and Its Receptors Expression with Perineural Invasion in Early-stage Cervical Cancer

Zhongliu Fangzhi Yanjiu, 2018
Objective To evaluate the potential association of nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptors TrkA and p75NRT with perineural invasion(PNI) and other clinicopathological features of early-stage cervical cancer.

Somatostatin receptor 4 (SSTR4) is a tumor suppressor in cutaneous and head & neck squamous cell carcinomas

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study identifies somatostatin receptor 4 (Sstr4) as a critical tumor suppressor against skin and head/neck cancers (HNSCC, cSCC, and BCC). The loss of Sstr4 removes a check on cell growth, causing hyperactivation of the MAPK‐ERK signaling pathway (↑).

Presence and localization of a 30-kDa basic fibroblast growth factor-like protein in rodent testes [PDF]

, 1991
We have used a recently characterized rabbit antiserum against basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), which recognizes various forms of bFGF, to examine the presence and localization of bFGF in the testes of adult rats and mice and the 5-day-old rat.

Effects of castration on the immunoreactivity to NGF, BDNF and their receptors in the pelvic ganglia of the male rat

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009
Nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and are members of the neurotrophin family, a family of neurotrophic factors that also includes neurotrophin (NT) 3 and NT4/5.

The VHL tumor suppressor at the crossroad of protein folding, aggregation, and cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Mutations, environmental stress, and chaperone dysfunction can destabilize pVHL, promoting its conversion from the native folded state into amyloid‐like assemblies. This transition may contribute to protein storage, cell dormancy, survival, and drug resistance.

Angiogenesis in Gynecological Cancers: Role of Neurotrophins

Frontiers in Oncology, 2019
Angiogenesis, or generation of new blood vessels from other pre-existing, is a key process to maintain the supply of nutrients and oxygen in tissues. Unfortunately, this process is exacerbated in pathologies such as retinopathies and cancers with high ...

β-adrenergic receptor agonist promotes ductular expansion during 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine-induced chronic liver injury

Scientific Reports, 2023
Intrahepatic nerves are involved in the regulation of metabolic reactions and hepatocyte-based regeneration after surgical resection, although their contribution to chronic liver injury remains unknown.

Nerve Growth Factor Receptor-Mediated Gene Transfer

Molecular Therapy, 2004
One obstacle to effective gene therapies for neurological disorders lies in the cell-type diversity of the nervous system, making it difficult to direct gene delivery vectors to specific types of cells. To meet this challenge, we have developed a recombinant peptide-based gene delivery vector that targets nerve growth factor (NGF) receptors.

Evaluating the involvement of autolysosomes in the nuclear translocation of fluorescent proteins

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Endogenously expressed fluorescent proteins can be degraded by autophagy and transported to cell nuclei via the nuclear pore complex. But in some cell lines, for example, HeLa cells which are positive for immunoreactivity of a receptor ligand, such as UCN I, in cell nuclei, fusion of autolysosome with the nuclear envelope is involved in the nuclear ...
