Single-cell transcriptomics uncovers distinct molecular signatures of stem cells in chronic myeloid leukemia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Recent advances in single-cell transcriptomics are ideally placed to unravel intratumoral heterogeneity and selective resistance of cancer stem cell (SC) subpopulations to molecularly targeted cancer therapies. However, current single-cell RNA-sequencing

C1q/TNF‐related peptide 8 (CTRP8) promotes temozolomide resistance in human glioblastoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, 2018
The C1q/TNF‐related peptide 8 (CTRP8) has recently emerged as a novel ligand of the G protein‐coupled receptor RXFP1 in the fatal brain tumor glioblastoma (GBM). We previously demonstrated that the CTRP8‐RXFP1 ligand–receptor system promotes motility and

Chimeric RXFP1 and RXFP2 receptors highlight the similar mechanism of activation utilizing their N-terminal low density lipoprotein class A modules

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
Relaxin family peptide (RXFP) receptors 1 and 2 are unique G-protein coupled receptors in that they contain an N-terminal low density lipoprotein type A (LDLa) module which is necessary for receptor activation.

Characterization of relaxin 3 and its receptors in chicken: Evidence for relaxin 3 acting as a novel pituitary hormone

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Mammalian relaxin (RLN) family peptides binding their receptors (RXFPs) play a variety of roles in many physiological processes, such as reproduction, stress, appetite regulation, and energy balance.

In search of a small molecule agonist of the relaxin receptor RXFP1 for the treatment of liver fibrosis [PDF]

open access: goldScientific Reports, 2017
AbstractThe peptide hormone human relaxin-2 (H2-RLX) has emerged as a potential therapy for cardiovascular and fibrotic diseases, but its short in vivo half-life is an obstacle to long-term administration. The discovery of ML290 demonstrated that it is possible to identify small molecule agonists of the cognate G-protein coupled receptor for H2-RLX ...

Transcriptional regulation of human NMNAT2: insights from 3D genome sequencing and bioinformatics

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 5, Page 1433-1458, March 2026.
NMNAT2 is a valuable drug target, as low levels increase the risk of neurodegeneration. We employed 4C‐seq to identify NMNAT2 regulatory regions in the human genome, revealing distinct interactomes of the NMNAT2 promoter in undifferentiated and neuron‐like SH‐SY5Y cells. Additionally, we uncovered NMNAT2‐associated genes and transcription factors. This
