Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Deprenyl, an old drug with new anticancer potential: Mini review [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The anticancer potential of monoamine oxidase (MAO) was observed in pre-clinical assays conducted with cell cultures and animals. L-Deprenyl (DEP) causes apoptosis in melanoma, leukemia and mammary cells. High-dose DEP has shown toxicity in mammary and pituitary cancers, as well as in monoblastic leukemia, in rats.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...

Proteoglycan neofunctions: regulation of inflammation and autophagy in cancer biology. [PDF]
, 2017 Inflammation and autophagy have emerged as prominent issues in the context of proteoglycan signaling. In particular, two small, leucine-rich proteoglycans, biglycan and decorin, play pivotal roles in the regulation of these vital cellular pathways and ...

Serum levels of interleukin-6 are not dependent on the kidney function
Mediators of Inflammation, 1992 Interleukin-6, also named B-cell stimulatory factor, is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 26 kDa. Increased serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) are found in several disease conditions.

Serum levels of Interleukin-33 and its soluble receptor ST2 in asthmatic patients
Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2014 Interleukin-33 is a member of IL-1 family of cytokines and binds to two receptors: ST2 (IL-1-R1) and IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAP). There are two isoforms of ST2 proteins: ST2L, a transmembrane form, and a soluble ST2 (sST2), a secreted form,

The inhibition of N-glycosylation of glycoprotein 130 molecule abolishes STAT3 activation by IL-6 family cytokines in cultured cardiac myocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Interleukin-6 (IL-6) family cytokines play important roles in cardioprotection against pathological stresses. IL-6 cytokines bind to their specific receptors and activate glycoprotein 130 (gp130), a common receptor, followed by further activation of ...

A Bayesian Phylogenetic Hidden Markov Model for B Cell Receptor Sequence Analysis [PDF]
, 2019 The human body is able to generate a diverse set of high affinity antibodies, the soluble form of B cell receptors (BCRs), that bind to and neutralize invading pathogens. The natural development of BCRs must be understood in order to design vaccines for highly mutable pathogens such as influenza and HIV.

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

Schistosoma mansoni in IL-4-deficient mice [PDF]
, 2017 Immunopathology and Immune responses to Schistosoma mansoni were examined in IL-4 -/- mice. IL-5 and IL-10 production by lymphoid cells stimulated with soluble egg antigen (SEA), peripheral eosinophilla and serum levels of soluble IL-4 receptor but not ...
