Structure of the Plexin Ectodomain Bound by Semaphorin-Mimicking Antibodies. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Semaphorin family proteins act on cells to mediate both repulsive and attractive guidance via binding to plexin family receptors, thereby playing fundamental roles in the morphogenesis and homeostasis of various tissues.

Semaphorin‑3A alleviates cardiac hypertrophy by regulating autophagy. [PDF]

Exp Ther Med, 2023
Cardiac hypertrophy, characterized by cardiomyocyte enlargement, is an adaptive response of the heart to certain hypertrophic stimuli; however, prolonged hypertrophy results in cardiac dysfunction and can ultimately cause heart failure. The present study evaluated the role of semaphorin-3A (Sema3A), a neurochemical inhibitor, in cardiac hypertrophy ...

Structure of the Semaphorin-3A Receptor Binding Module [PDF]

Neuron, 2003
The semaphorins are a large group of extracellular proteins involved in a variety of processes during development, including neuronal migration and axon guidance. Their distinctive feature is a conserved 500 amino acid semaphorin domain, a ligand-receptor interaction module also present in plexins and scatter-factor receptors.

SEMA3A, a gene involved in axonal pathfinding, is mutated in patients with Kallmann syndrome.

PLoS Genetics, 2012
Kallmann syndrome (KS) associates congenital hypogonadism due to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) deficiency and anosmia. The genetics of KS involves various modes of transmission, including oligogenic inheritance.

Semaphorins and Their Receptors in Hematological Malignancies

Frontiers in Oncology, 2019
While semaphorins were initially identified as axonal guidance cues for wiring the neural network, it was then recognized their wide relevance in tissue development and homeostasis.

Secreted human amyloid precursor protein binds semaphorin 3a and prevents semaphorin-induced growth cone collapse. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is well known for giving rise to the amyloid-β peptide and for its role in Alzheimer's disease. Much less is known, however, on the physiological roles of APP in the development and plasticity of the central nervous ...

Assessment of Serum Semaphorin-3A Level in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients in Suez Canal Region

Indian Journal of Rheumatology, 2022
Background: Semaphorin-3A (Sema-3A) is an important immunoregulator protein; it has a role in the maintenance of self-tolerance, so it is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE ...

Lentiviral Mediated Expression of Soluble Neuropilin 1 Inhibits Semaphorin 3A-mediated Collapse Activity in Vitro

Basic and Clinical Neuroscience, 2021
Introduction: Semaphorin 3A (Sema 3A) is a secreted protein, which plays an integral part in developing the nervous system. It has collapse activity on the growth cone of dorsal root ganglia.

Identifying a Csmd3+ Microglial Subpopulation that Drives Cold‐to‐Hot Transition and Immune‐Cure in Glioblastoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study establishes an immune‐cure (ICu) mouse model based on a TMEMed G422TN‐GBM system that faithfully recapitulates human TMEMed GBM. scRNA‐seq analysis reveals a Csmd3+ microglial subset with innate immune memory (IIM) potential that potently suppresses GBM growth, drives a TME cold‐to‐hot transition, and induces 100% ICu in long‐term survival ...
