Treg cells retain stable lineage commitment during pregnancy in mice after late gestation inflammatory challenge [PDF]
In this study, we used Foxp3‐fatemapping mice to examine the cell lineage stability of Treg cells in pregnancy. Ex‐Foxp3 cells were identified in gestational tissues. However, Treg cells retained lineage stability with no increased ex‐Foxp3 generation, regardless of inflammatory challenges that induce preterm birth.

STRA6 is Differentially Expressed by Human PBMC Subsets [PDF]
Stimulated by retinoic acid 6 (STRA6) was the first protein to be identified in a novel category of proteins, cytokine signaling transporters, due to its ability to function as both a cell surface receptor and a membrane protein that binds to retinol ...

Characterization of the Role of Stra6 in Tumor Suppression Mechanisms
Stra6 is a protein that is upregulated in response to retinoids. Interestingly, we have found that Stra6 can induces p53 independently of DNA damage through ROS generation.

Role of the STRA6 gene family in vertebrate development
Matthew-Wood syndrome is a rare human birth defect condition defined by the phenotypic constellation of clinical anophthalmia, diaphragmatic hernia, pulmonary hypoplasia and cardiac defects. Matthew-Wood syndrome has a high mortality rate, with most patients dying due to respiratory insufficiency as a consequence of pulmonary hypoplasia, within the ...

Elevated RBP4 in Subclinical Ketosis Cows Inhibits Follicular Granulosa Cell Proliferation and Steroid Hormone Synthesis [PDF]
The mechanism by which subclinical ketosis (SCK) causes postpartum reproductive disorders in dairy cows remains unclear. In this study, cows within the day 14 to 21 postpartum period were categorized into the SCK group or the control group. Subsequently,

Downregulation of STRA6 in Adipocytes and Adipose Stromovascular Fraction in Obesity and Effects of Adipocyte-Specific STRA6 Knockdown In Vivo [PDF]
To investigate the mechanisms by which elevated retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) causes insulin resistance, we studied the role of the high-affinity receptor for RBP4, STRA6 (stimulated by retinoic acid), in insulin resistance and obesity. In high-fat-diet-fed and ob/ob mice, STRA6 expression was decreased 70 to 95% in perigonadal adipocytes and both ...

The interaction of calmodulin (CaM) with the receptor for retinol uptake, STRA6, involves an α-helix termed BP2 that is located on the intracellular side of this homodimeric transporter (Chen et al., 2016 [1]). In the absence of Ca2+, NMR data showed that a peptide derived from BP2 bound to the C-terminal lobe (C-lobe) of Mg2+-bound CaM (MgCaM).

STRA6 Expression Serves as a Prognostic Biomarker of Gastric Cancer [PDF]
Despite advances in our understanding on the pathogenesis of gastric cancer (GC), patients face a poor prognosis. To improve clinical outcomes, effective approaches to diagnosis and treatment employing new diagnostic biomarkers are required to achieve early detection and predict recurrence and prognosis.Transcriptome analysis was conducted using ...
