The Neuroprotective Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate (Punica granatum)

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
The Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate on Neurodegeneration. ABSTRACT Pomegranate is an exceptional fruit that can have several beneficial effects on human health. The peel of pomegranate, a waste product, should be recovered as it still contains valuable constituents, including phenolic compounds, minerals and fibre. The recovery of

Shrimp (Pandalopsis dispar) waste hydrolysate as a source of novel β–secretase inhibitors

Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2016
In this study, purified peptides from shrimp waste hydrolysates (SWHs) were examined for their inhibitory effects against β–secretase. During consecutive purification using a Sephadex G–25 column chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography ...

A Novel NIR-FRET Biosensor for Reporting PS/γ-Secretase Activity in Live Cells

Sensors, 2020
Presenilin (PS)/γ-secretase plays a pivotal role in essential cellular events via proteolytic processing of transmembrane proteins that include APP and Notch receptors. However, how PS/γ-secretase activity is spatiotemporally regulated by other molecular

CKLF‐like MARVEL transmembrane domain‐containing superfamily 8 (CMTM8) promotes Notch signalling to maintain CD8+ T cell‐ and NK cell‐dependent tumour immune escape

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose The CKLF‐like MARVEL transmembrane domain containing superfamily (CMTM) has an important role in tumour immunity. The role of CMTM8 in tumour immune microenvironment (TIME) remains unknown. The aim was to investigate the relationship between CMTM8 and antitumour immunity. Experimental Approach Lentiviral system was established to

Development of a High-Throughput Assay for Screening of γ-Secretase Inhibitor with Endogenous Human, Mouse or Drosophila γ-Secretase

Molecules, 2009
Selective lowering of amyloid-β levels with small-molecule γ-secretase inhibitors is a promising therapeutic approach for Alzheimer’s disease. In this work, we developed a high throughput assay for screening of γ-secretase inhibitors with endogenous γ ...

The nitty‐gritty of vascular permeability in cancer: targeting blood endothelium to control metastases

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Blood vascular permeability is a hallmark of cancer and acts as an active driver of metastatic dissemination. Metastasis accounts for the vast majority of cancer deaths, yet most work has focussed on tumour‐intrinsic traits and angiogenesis, while the specific contribution of endothelial barrier regulation to intravasation and extravasation remains ...

Sortilin, SorCS1b, and SorLA Vps10p sorting receptors, are novel γ-secretase substrates

Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2006
Background The mammalian Vps10p sorting receptor family is a group of 5 type I membrane homologs (Sortilin, SorLA, and SorCS1-3). These receptors bind various cargo proteins via their luminal Vps10p domains and have been shown to mediate a variety of ...

Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibition Regulates Septoclast Activity to Promote Long Bone Growth and Fracture Healing by Enhancing Endothelial‐to‐Mesenchymal Notch Signalling

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
The sEH inhibitor TPPU upregulates endothelial HIF‐1α, activating the NOTCH signalling pathway between endothelial cells and mesenchymal stem cells. This promotes the differentiation and formation of FABP5+ septoclasts, enhances their participation in endochondral ossification, and ultimately improves longitudinal bone growth and fracture healing ...

Visualization of PS/γ-Secretase Activity in Living Cells

iScience, 2020
Summary: A change in Presenilin (PS)/γ-secretase activity is linked to essential biological events as well as to the progression of many diseases. However, not much is known about how PS/γ-secretase activity is spatiotemporally regulated in cells. One of
