Regulation of CYP3A genes by glucocorticoids in human lung cells [v2; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/1z6]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2013
Inhaled glucocorticoids are the first-line treatment for patients with persistent asthma.  However, approximately thirty percent of patients exhibit glucocorticoid insensitivity, which may involve excess metabolic clearance of the glucocorticoids by ...

Mineralized Cryogel/Hydrogel Constructs to Recapitulate Early Breast Cancer Bone Metastasis In Vitro

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A new biphasic in vitro cryogel/hydrogel model of early breast cancer bone metastasis provides precise control over microenvironmental cues and microscopic access to the spatiotemporal cancer cell distribution. Deposited bone‐like mineral is observed to strongly impede the effects of biomolecular signals, as evidenced by both colonization profiles and ...

Modulation of Network Plasticity Opens Novel Therapeutic Possibilities in Cancer, Diabetes, and Neurodegeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Plasticity changes of molecular networks form a cellular learning process. Signaling network plasticity promotes cancer, metastasis, and drug resistance development. 55 plasticity‐related cancer drug targets are listed (20 having already approved drugs, 9 investigational drugs, and 26 being drug target candidates).

Dual Functions of Dietary Rubber Seed Oil Supplementation: Enriching N‐3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Enhancing Antioxidant Capacity in Pekin Ducks

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary RSO supplementation improved growth performance, simultaneously enriched n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n‐3 PUFA), and enhanced antioxidant capacity in Pekin ducks, which suggested that RSO has the potential to be a novel n‐3 PUFA source and an antioxidant for Pekin ducks to generate animal functional foods.

Dimerization Interfaces of v-ErbA Homodimers and Heterodimers with Retinoid X Receptor α [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
The oncoprotein v-ErbA, a member of the zinc finger transcription factor superfamily, is a mutated version of thyroid hormone receptor alpha1 that is virtually incapable of binding T3. v-ErbA and other members of this family can bind as homodimers and heterodimers with retinoid X receptors to specific DNA sequences arranged as direct, inverted, or ...

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Screening for Ligands of Human Retinoid X Receptor-α Using Ultrafiltration Mass Spectrometry [PDF]

open access: yesAnalytical Chemistry, 2007
Retinoid X receptors (RXRs) function as ligand-activated transcription factors and are obligatory components of a large number of nuclear receptor heterodimers. RXRs help regulate diverse physiological responses including the cancer prevention responses of cell proliferation, inflammation, cell differentiation, and apoptosis.

Genetic variants in vitamin d pathway genes and risk of pancreas cancer; results from a population-based case-control study in ontario, Canada. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Recent studies of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels and pancreas cancer have suggested a potential role of the vitamin D pathway in the etiology of this fatal disease. Variants in vitamin-D related genes are known to affect 25(OH)D levels and function
