The Association between Vitamin D Receptor Expression and Prolonged Overall Survival in Breast Cancer. [PDF]
Summary In this study, we analyzed vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression and survival in a breast cancer patient cohort of 82 breast cancer patients. Immunohistochemical analysis was possible in 91.5% of the patients (75/82). Staining was evaluated using

HDX reveals the conformational dynamics of DNA sequence specific VDR co-activator interactions
The vitamin D receptor/retinoid X receptor-α heterodimer (VDRRXRα) regulates bone mineralization. Here the authors employ hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) mass spectrometry to study the conformational dynamics of VDRRXRα and give mechanistic insights ...

Association of potential salivary biomarkers with diabetic retinopathy and its severity in type-2 diabetes mellitus: a proteomic analysis by mass spectrometry [PDF]
Aim/hypothesis: The aim of our study was to characterize the human salivary proteome and determine the changes in protein expression in two different stages of diabetic retinopathy with type-2 diabetes mellitus: (1) with non-proliferative diabetic ...

Auto-silencing by the retinoid X receptor
Gene transcription is often regulated by small ligands, enabling cells to respond to external and metabolic stimuli. Of particular interest are the mechanisms by which hydrophobic hormones modulate the transcriptional activities of proteins of the nuclear receptor superfamily.

The evolution of drug-activated nuclear receptors: one ancestral gene diverged into two xenosensor genes in mammals [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Drugs and other xenobiotics alter gene expression of cytochromes P450 (CYP) by activating the pregnane X receptor (PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) in mammals.

Modifying the conformational ensemble of “molten‐globule” protein by the site‐specific incorporation of stereoisomeric 4‐fluoroproline residues modulated its binding affinity and aggregation behavior. 19F NMR spectroscopy enabled the detection of key interactions responsible for structural and dynamic changes. ABSTRACT Recently, the application of deep

Suppression of Vitamin D Receptor and Induction of Retinoid X Receptor α Expression During Squamous Differentiation of Cultured Keratinocytes [PDF]
To gain more insight in the role of the vitamin D system in epidermal differentiation, we studied the expression of the vitamin D receptor and its heterodimeric partner retinoid X receptor α in cultured normal human keratinocytes during squamous ...
