Identification and in-silico characterization of Serpin genes in legumes genomes

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
Serine protease inhibitors (serpins) are a unique family of protease inhibitor containing mobile reactive center loop. The availability of genome sequences of pigeonpea, soybean, commanbean, cowpea, mungbean and adzuki bean provided an opportunity to ...

SerpinB3 promotes pro-fibrogenic responses in activated hepatic stellate cells [PDF]

, 2017
SerpinB3 is a hypoxia- and hypoxia-inducible factor-2\u3b1-dependent cystein protease inhibitor that is up-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma and in parenchymal cells during chronic liver diseases (CLD). SerpinB3 up-regulation in CLD patients has been

Tumor‐Derived Alpha‐1 Antitrypsin Promotes Liver Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer Through the Neutrophil Extracellular Traps–CCDC25 Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Liver metastasis is a leading cause of mortality in colorectal cancer (CRC), where the inflammatory tumor microenvironment, specifically neutrophil infiltration, significantly promotes metastatic colonization. This study reveals a pro‐metastatic role for alpha‐1 antitrypsin (A1AT) in CRC liver metastasis via a dual mechanism involving ...

Escaping Antiangiogenic Therapy: Strategies Employed by Cancer Cells [PDF]

, 2016
Indexación: Web of ScienceTumor angiogenesis is widely recognized as one of the hallmarks of cancer. Consequently, during the last decades the development and testing of commercial angiogenic inhibitors has been a central focus for both basic and ...

Endoplasmic Reticulum Geometry Dictates Neuronal Bursting via Calcium Store Refill Rates and Exposes Selective Neuronal Vulnerability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The ER's continuous tubular network is maintained by ER‐shaping proteins whose mutation or dysregulation contributes to neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we show that ER morphology sets the speed of Ca2+ store replenishment between firing events. Disrupting ER continuity slows intra‐ER Ca2+ redistribution from extracellular refill (SOCE) sites, driving

Leptin May Promote Eosinophilic CRSwNP Progression by Enhancing Eosinophil Chemotaxis and Angiogenesis Under a Type 2 Inflammatory Milieu

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp (CRSwNP) is a heterogeneous Type 2 inflammatory disease characterized by enhanced eosinophilic infiltration. Both innate and adaptive immunity are involved in the onset and progression of CRSwNP.

Shape-Shifting serpins [PDF]

Nature, 1994
Recent structures of members of the serine proteinase inhibitor families (serpins) continue to emphasize the flexibility of the reactive loop and suggest possible 'active' conformations.

Heterogenous Model of Temozolomide Resistance in Glioblastoma Reveals Phenotypic Shifts in Drug Response and Migratory Potential

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Glioblastoma mortality is driven by cell invasion and therapeutic resistance. We report a cancer engineering approach to evaluate the behavior of heterogeneous cohorts of temozolomide resistant and responsive GBM cells. We show the effect of physiologically‐relevant metronomic dosing on ensemble drug response and invasion.

All-atom simulations reveal how single point mutations promote serpin misfolding

, 2018
Protein misfolding is implicated in many diseases, including the serpinopathies. For the canonical inhibitory serpin {\alpha}1-antitrypsin (A1AT), mutations can result in protein deficiencies leading to lung disease, and misfolded mutants can accumulate ...
