Niosomes and polymeric chitosan based vesicles bearing transferrin and glucose ligands for drug targeting

, 2000
PURPOSE: To prepare polymeric vesicles and niosomes bearing glucose or transferrin ligands for drug targeting. METHODS: A glucose-palmitoyl glycol chitosan (PGC) conjugate was synthesised and glucose-PGC polymeric vesicles prepared by sonication of ...

N-glycans of human amniotic fluid transferrin stimulate progesterone production in human first trimester trophoblast cells in vitro [PDF]

, 2004
Aims: During pregnancy, the placenta produces a variety of steroid hormones and proteins. Several of these substances have been shown to exert immunomodulatory effects.

Transferrin-mediated increase of labile iron Pool following simulated ischemia causes lipid peroxidation during the early phase of reperfusion

, 2023
Heart ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is related to iron content. However, the occurrence and mechanism of changes in labile iron pool (LIP) during I/R is debatable. Moreover, the identity of the iron form dominant in LIP during I/R is unclear. Herein,

Variation of the serum N‐glycosylation during the pregnancy of a MPI‐CDG patient

JIMD Reports, 2021
For the first time the glycosylation of a patient with a MPI‐CDG during pregnancy is monitored. MPI‐CDG, is characterised by a deficiency in mannose‐6‐phosphate isomerase (MPI) leading to a reduced pool of glycosylation precursors, impairing the ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Chelator-facilitated removal of iron from transferrin: Relevance to combined chelation therapy

, 2007
Current iron chelation therapy consists primarily of DFO (desferrioxamine), which has to be administered via intravenous infusion, together with deferiprone and deferasirox, which are orally-active chelators.

Direct in vivo gene transfer to the airway epithelium employing adenovirus-polylysine-DNA complexes [PDF]

, 1993
Adenovirus-polylysine-DNA complexes were evaluated for their capacity to accomplish direct in vivo gene transfer to airway epithelium employing a rodent model.

MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created

TRANSFERRIN RECEPTOR EXPRESSION IN ORAL TUMORS

, 1991
Transferrin receptor expression in oral tumors was examined by staining with monoclonal antibody against the human transferrin receptor. The cells with positive reaction were recognized in the basal and parabasal layers of the normal epithelium.
