Fibrinolysis protease receptors promote activation of astrocytes to express pro-inflammatory cytokines. [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND:Astrocytes contribute to the crosstalk that generates chronic neuro-inflammation in neurological diseases; however, compared with microglia, astrocytes respond to a more limited continuum of innate immune system stimulants.

Binding of Extracellular Maspin to 1 Integrins Inhibits Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Migration [PDF]

, 2009
Maspin is a serpin that has multiple effects on cell behavior, including inhibition of migration. How maspin mediates these diverse effects remains unclear, as it is devoid of protease inhibitory activity.

VEGF-initiated angiogenesis and the uPA/uPAR system [PDF]

Cell Adhesion & Migration, 2012
Angiogenesis involves a series of tightly regulated cellular processes initiated primarily by the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The urokinase-type plasminogen activator system, consisting of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), its cellular receptor uPAR and its inhibitor PAI-1, participates in the realization of these VEGF ...

A high‐throughput bone marrow 3D co‐culture system to study resistance to BCR signalling targeted agents in B‐NHL

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Bone marrow (BM) involvement in B‐cell non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (B‐NHL) is associated with poor prognosis, as the BM microenvironment provides a protective niche that promotes therapeutic resistance. We developed a simplified, automated and high‐throughput 3D BM co‐culture model that faithfully reproduces key tumour–stroma interactions.

Identification of a novel regulatory mechanism for the disease associated protein, uPAR [PDF]

, 2014
Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), as determined through a series of statistical association studies collectively known as genome-wide association (GWA) studies, have provided us with a hypothesis free approach for the investigation into ...

SerpinB2 regulates stromal remodelling and local invasion in pancreatic cancer [PDF]

, 2017
Pancreatic cancer has a devastating prognosis, with an overall 5-year survival rate of ~8%, restricted treatment options and characteristic molecular heterogeneity.

Whole Blood Transcriptomic Analysis of Sickle Cell Trait

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell trait (SCT) is the heterozygous carrier state for the HBB missense variant which causes sickle cell disease (SCD). SCT has been associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism and chronic kidney disease as well as alterations in clinical laboratory parameters. To investigate differential gene expression in SCT, we used RNA

Extracellular matrix and proteolysis: mechanisms driving irreversible changes and shaping cell behavior

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Irreversible ECM proteolysis by remodeling enzymes shapes development, homeostasis, and disease. ECM‐degrading proteases display cell specificity and are governed by shared mechanisms, exhibiting functional redundancy in generating matrikines, growth factors, and cytokines.

Improved PET imaging of uPAR expression using new (64)Cu-labeled cross-bridged peptide ligands:comparative in vitro and in vivo studies [PDF]

, 2013
The correlation between uPAR expression, cancer cell invasion and metastases is now well-established and has prompted the development of a number of uPAR PET imaging agents, which could potentially identify cancer patients with invasive and metastatic ...
