Transferrin Is Up-Regulated by Microbes and Acts as a Negative Regulator of Immunity to Induce Intestinal Immunotolerance

open access: yesResearch
Cross-talks (e.g., host-driven iron withdrawal and microbial iron uptake between host gastrointestinal tract and commensal microbes) regulate immunotolerance and intestinal homeostasis.

Chiral Surface of Nanoparticles Determines the Orientation of Adsorbed Transferrin and Its Interaction with Receptors.

open access: yesACS Nano, 2017
When nanoparticles are exposed to a physiological environment, a "protein corona" is formed that greatly determines their biological fate. Adsorption of proteins could be influenced by chiral surfaces of nanoparticles; however, very few quantitative ...

Metastatic growth instructed by neutrophil-derived transferrin

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance The current study uncovers a mechanistic link between neutrophils and cancer metastasis. Transferrin, an iron-transporting protein, is expressed at mRNA and protein levels in mouse and human neutrophils and is mainly responsible for ...

Key players in the regulation of iron homeostasis at the host-pathogen interface

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
Iron plays a crucial role in the biochemistry and development of nearly all living organisms. Iron starvation of pathogens during infection is a striking feature utilized by a host to quell infection.

Transferrin-modified cancer cell member coating hypocrellin B-derived nanomaterials for enhanced photodynamic therapy efficacy in hepatocellular carcinoma

open access: yesMedicine in Drug Discovery, 2021
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been reported to be the third common malignant tumor because of the high rate of mortality. Photosensitizers (PSs) based on the natural products have been widely used in clinical antitumor research contributed to their ...

Circulating histones as clinical biomarkers in critically ill conditions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circulating histones are emerging as promising biomarkers in critical illness due to their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential. Detection methods such as ELISA and mass spectrometry provide reliable approaches for quantifying histone levels in plasma samples.

Transferrin variation and genetic structure of reindeer populations in Scandinavia

open access: yesRangifer, 1987
Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to analyse transferrin variation in herds of semi-domestic reindeer from Scandinavia. The results are compared with previously reported values for other populations of both semi-domestic and wild reindeer using

Rational Design of a Transferrin-Binding Peptide Sequence Tailored to Targeted Nanoparticle Internalization.

open access: yesBioconjugate chemistry, 2017
The transferrin receptor (TfR) is a promising target in cancer therapy owing to its overexpression in most solid tumors and on the blood-brain barrier.

Immunoturbidimetric Measurement of Transferrin [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 1986
This paper describes the development of an automated immunoturbidimetric assay for transferrin on a centrifugal analyser. Regression analysis of transferrin values measured immunoturbidimetrically demonstrates good agreement with data obtained by radial immunodiffusion (y = 0.997 + 0.024 g/l, r = 0.980, n = 50). The assay has a detection limit of 1.0 g/

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...
