Epigenetic changes and nuclear factor-\u3baB activation, but not microRNA-224, downregulate Raf-1 kinase inhibitor protein in triple\u2011negative breast cancer SUM 159 cells [PDF]
Raf-1 kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) is a tumor suppressor and metastasis inhibitor, which enhances drug\u2011induced apoptosis of cancer cells. Downregulation of RKIP may be significant in the biology of highly aggressive and drug\u2011resistant tumors,

A Role for RKIP in Cell Motility [PDF]
The target of locostatin, a small-molecule inhibitor of cell movement, has been identified as RKIP, a Raf-1 kinase modulator [1]. In addition to advancing our understanding of cell locomotion, this work represents a major landmark in the development of chemical genetics.

Stronger computational modelling of signalling pathways using both continuous and discrete-state methods [PDF]
Starting from a biochemical signalling pathway model expresses in a process algebra enriched with quantitative information, we automatically derive both continuous-space and discrete-space representations suitable for numerical evaluation.

TROY interacts with RKIP to promote glioma development [PDF]
TROY is a component of the Nogo receptor complex and plays the key role in neuronal survival, migration, and differentiation. Here, we show the up-regulation of TROY in human glioma tissues and cells. Inhibition of TROY expression slowed glioma development in vivo and in vitro. Raf kinase inhibitor (RKIP) was found to interact with TROY.

Common reduction of the Raf kinase inhibitory protein in clear cell renal cell carcinoma [PDF]
Despite the recent progress in our understanding of clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCCs), the etiology of ccRCC remains unclear. We reported here a prevailing reduction of the raf kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP) in ccRCC. In our examination of more

The biological complexity of RKIP signaling in human cancers [PDF]
The Raf kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP) has been demonstrated to modulate different intracellular signaling pathways in cancers. Studies have shown that RKIP is frequently downregulated in cancers; therefore, attempts have been made to upregulate the expression of RKIP using natural and synthetic agents for the treatment of human malignancies ...
