Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

APJ regulates the balance between self-renewal and differentiation of vascular endothelial stem cells

Inflammation and Regeneration
Background CD157 marks a population of tissue-resident vascular endothelial stem cells (VESCs) in mice known for their critical role in homeostatic endothelial cell (EC) turnover and the rapid response to vascular damage in the liver by regeneration ...

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Role of functionality in two-component signal transduction: A stochastic study

, 2014
We present a stochastic formalism for signal transduction processes in bacterial two-component system. Using elementary mass action kinetics, the proposed model takes care of signal transduction in terms of phosphotransfer mechanism between the cognate ...

Role of cyclic AMP in the control of cell-specific gene expression [PDF]

, 1993
Genes have to be expressed in specific cell types at appropriate times of development dependent on external signals. cAMP signaling occurs in all cells, thus raising the question of how this signal transduction pattern is integrated into mechanisms ...

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...

An Extended Filament Based Lamellipodium Model Produces Various Moving Cell Shapes in the Presence of Chemotactic Signals

, 2015
The Filament Based Lamellipodium Model (FBLM) is a two-phase two-dimensional continuum model, describing the dynamcis of two interacting families of locally parallel actin filaments (C.Schmeiser and D.Oelz, How do cells move?

Investigating the cell of origin and novel molecular targets in Merkel cell carcinoma: a historic misnomer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study indicates that Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) does not originate from Merkel cells, and identifies gene, protein & cellular expression of immune‐linked and neuroendocrine markers in primary and metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) tumor samples, linked to Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) status, with enrichment of B‐cell and other immune cell

YAP1::TFE3 mediates endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal plasticity in epithelioid hemangioendothelioma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The YAP1::TFE3 fusion protein drives endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EndMT) plasticity, resulting in the loss of endothelial characteristics and gain of mesenchymal‐like properties, including resistance to anoikis, increased migratory capacity, and loss of contact growth inhibition in endothelial cells.

Signal transduction therapy.

Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 1995
Signal transduction is essential for life. In living cells, several signal transduction pathways interact with each other to form complicated signal network. Second messengers, such as Ca2+, cAMP and cGMP, play fundamental roles in the cellular responses via binding to their target proteins. Recent advances in signal transduction research enables us to
