Long non‐coding RNAs at the crossroads of inflammation, cancer and angiogenesis: Molecular mechanisms and their potential as therapeutic targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a broad class of non‐protein‐coding RNAs, are characterized as new regulators of gene expression at the epigenetic, transcriptional, and post‐transcriptional level. Thus, lncRNAs are involved in the regulation of physiological processes and the development of human diseases and cancer by modulating proinflammatory ...

lncRNA JPX/miR-33a-5p/Twist1 axis regulates tumorigenesis and metastasis of lung cancer by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling

Molecular Cancer, 2020
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and Twist1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer cell dissemination are well established, but the involvement of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Twist1-mediated signaling remains largely unknown. Methods

TWIST1 upregulation affects E-cadherin expression in brain metastases

, 2022
Purpose: E-cadherin is a calcium-dependent glycoprotein whose main role is cell-cell adhesion. Its transcriptional repressor TWIST1 is a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein that participates in gastrulation and formation of mesodermal tissues during ...

LMTK2 Inhibits Metastasis of Colon Cancer Cells Through p38 MAPK

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
LMTK2 suppresses colon cancer metastasis by acting as a kinase‐independent scaffold that directly binds p38, blocking its interaction with MKK3/6 and subsequent phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting the downstream pro‐metastatic gene program. ABSTRACT Metastasis is the leading cause of death in patients with colon cancer. Although Lemur tyrosine kinase 2

Phosphorylation of Serine 68 of Twist1 by MAPKs Stabilizes Twist1 Protein and Promotes Breast Cancer Cell Invasiveness

, 2011
Twist1, a basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor, promotes breast tumor cell epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), invasiveness, and metastasis. However, the mechanisms responsible for regulating Twist1 stability are unknown in these cells.

Cystic Fibrosis and Colorectal Cancer Risk: Reprogramming of the Intestinal Epithelial Niche and Cell‐State Plasticity in the CFTR Modulator Era

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
In cystic fibrosis disorder, CFTR dysfunction drives multilayered intestinal niche disruption, including dysbiosis, inflammation, hypoxia, metabolic stress and genotoxic injury, promoting cell‐state plasticity and a pre‐neoplastic ecosystem. CFTR modulators and environmental factors may partially reshape these processes, highlighting opportunities for ...

PLCε regulates prostate cancer mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and migration via upregulation of Twist1

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2019
Background Metabolic rewiring is a common feature of many cancer types, including prostate cancer (PCa). Alterations in master genes lead to mitochondrial metabolic rewiring and provide an appealing target to inhibit cancer progression and improve ...

Twist1 activity thresholds define multiple functions in limb development [PDF]

, 2010
The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Twist1 is essential for normal limb development. Twist1−/− embryos die at midgestation. However, studies on early limb buds found that Twist1−/− mutant limb mesenchyme has an impaired response to FGF ...

Understanding exosomes in diabetic wound healing

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Diabetic wounds signify a major complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized by chronic inflammation, compromised angiogenesis, and high risk of infection, amputation, and mortality. Contemporary therapies remain limited in efficacy and durability.
