TIAF1 self‐aggregation is essential for Aβ plaque formation in the human hippocampus
Role of TIAF1 in the TGF‐β pathway leading to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) was investigated. We determined that TIAF1 bound Smad4 and blocked its‐regulated promoter activation. TGF‐β1 induced self‐aggregation of transiently overexpressed TIAF1 in a type II TGF‐β receptor (TβRII)‐independent ...

Assessing Current Therapeutic Approaches to Decode Potential Resistance Mechanisms in Glioblastomas [PDF]
Unique astrocytic cell infiltrating growth and glial tumor growth in the confined skull make human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) one of the most difficult cancers to treat in modern medicine.

Substantial evidence shows that tumor suppressor WW domain‐containing oxidoreductase, designated WWOX, FOR or WOX1, is involved in neurodegenerative diseases, neural disorders, cancer progression, and metabolic diseases. WWOX protects neurons from degeneration by binding tau and tau‐hyperphosphorylating enzymes GSK3β, ERK, and JNK1,

WWOX Controls Cell Survival, Immune Response and Disease Progression by pY33 to pS14 Transition to Alternate Signaling Partners [PDF]
Tumor suppressor WWOX inhibits cancer growth and retards Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression. Supporting evidence shows that the more strongly WWOX binds intracellular protein partners, the weaker is cancer cell growth in vivo.

Transcriptional characterization of human megakaryocyte polyploidization and lineage commitment [PDF]
Abstract Background Megakaryocytes (MKs) originate from cells immuno‐phenotypically indistinguishable from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), bypassing intermediate progenitors. They mature within the adult bone marrow and release platelets into the circulation.

Comparability of Microarray Data between Amplified and Non Amplified RNA in Colorectal Carcinoma [PDF]
Microarray analysis reaches increasing popularity during the investigation of prognostic gene clusters in oncology. The standardisation of technical procedures will be essential to compare various datasets produced by different research groups. In several projects the amount of available tissue is limited.

GWAS Meta-Analysis of Suicide Attempt: Identification of 12 Genome-Wide Significant Loci and Implication of Genetic Risks for Specific Health Factors. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Suicidal behavior is heritable and is a major cause of death worldwide. Two large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) recently discovered and cross-validated genome-wide significant (GWS) loci for suicide attempt (SA).

Intracellular TIAF1 self‐association induces apoptosis
TIAF1 is a small TGF‐beta1‐induced factor, which supports fibroblast growth, T helper cell activation and effect on allograft organ rejection, and probably induces regulator TREG cell differentiation. However, overexpressed TIAF1 induces apoptosis in monocytic and epithelial cells and non‐fibroblasts.

TIAF1 physically heterodimerizes with WOX1 in the mitochondria: a role in apoptosis
Overexpressed TIAF1 (TGF‐beta1‐induced antiapoptotic factor) promotes the growth of fibroblasts, but induces apoptosis in monocytic and non‐fibroblast cells. Functional property of TIAF1 in regulating cell growth and death is largely unknown. Here, we show that knockdown of endogenous TIAF1 by siRNA prevented cell growth inhibition and apoptosis by ...
