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 ...

Two‐Pore K+ Channel TREK‐1 Regulates Sinoatrial Node Membrane Excitability

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundTwo‐pore K+ channels have emerged as potential targets to selectively regulate cardiac cell membrane excitability; however, lack of specific inhibitors and relevant animal models has impeded the effort to understand the role of 2‐pore K ...

Erythrocyte ‘Feierzeit’ reaction: Novel filamentous and vesicular response to n‐butyl acetate

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Human erythrocytes (red blood cells; RBCs) undergo spontaneous disassembly after several hours of exposure to n‐butyl acetate (nBA). Images of the morphological changes were captured in time‐lapse sequences using differential interference contrast (DIC) light microscopy.

Hydrolysis of rabbit erythrocyte spectrin by longipain.

, 2013
Ten micrograms of native spectrin were incubated with longipain for 6 h. The hydrolysis pattern was analyzed by 6% SDS-PAGE and proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane and reacted with rabbit anti-human spectrin serum.

Life cycle-dependent cytoskeletal modifications in Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Plasmodium falciparum infection of human erythrocytes is known to result in the modification of the host cell cytoskeleton by parasite-coded proteins. However, such modifications and corresponding implications in malaria pathogenesis have not been fully ...

Integrative Phosphoproteomic Profiling Reveals Stage‐Specific Signalling and Metabolism in Equine Melanocytic Neoplasm

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Equine melanocytic neoplasms (EMN) are aggressive tumours characterised by high metastatic potential and limited therapeutic options available. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their progression remain poorly understood. This study therefore presents the integrative phosphoproteomic analysis of EMN tissue, with the aim of ...

Computational modelling of cardiac fibroblast signalling reveals a key role for Ca2+ in driving atrial fibrillation‐associated fibrosis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A pre‐existing fibroblast signalling model was enhanced by integrating atrial‐specific components and reactions linked to atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation (AF). The analysis highlights the central role of Ca2⁺ signalling in driving profibrotic responses to AF‐relevant stimuli, angiotensin‐II and transforming growth factor ...

Spectrin deficiency enhances band 3 cluster formation in the spectrin network compartment model.

, 2015
(A) The erythrocyte membrane skeleton is organized as a polygonal network formed by spectrin molecules linked to ankyrin, which is bound to the cytoplasmic domain of band 3 (right).
