Defense pathways in Arabidopsis restricting compatible tobamoviruses during infection [PDF]
, 2014 Virus infected plants often develop strong disease symptoms including leaf deformation, chlorosis, necrosis and growth inhibition. In agriculture systems virus infection can lead to severe yield losses and a better understanding of plant defenses against

Oncogenic DMTF1β promotes cancer cell motility by regulating autophagy through ULK1 stabilization
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.In the current study, we demonstrate that the oncogene DMTF1β regulates ULK1 stability by reducing its proteasomal degradation in cancer cells. This stabilization enables ULK1 to induce autophagy, which in turn facilitates cancer cell migration. Consequently, reduced DMTF1β levels lead to decreased autophagy and impaired cancer cell migration.

Towards understanding of the replication and pathogenesis of dengue infection [PDF]
, 2007 Dengue is the most important human viral disease transmitted by arthropod vectors and over half of the world's population live in areas at risk of infection. Currently there is neither specific treatment nor vaccine to tackle this emerging disease. The

PANoptosis in the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.PANoptosis, a combination of three types of programmed cell death, is mediated by a large protein complex called a PANoptosome. In healthy bone marrow hematopoietic cells, PANoptosis is restricted by inhibitory signaling. In MDS, bone marrow cells become sensitive to the PANoptotic stimuli due to the aberrant inactivation of inhibitory signaling or ...

The human interferon-induced MxA protein inhibits early stages of influenza A virus infection by retaining the incoming viral genome in the cytoplasm [PDF]
, 2013 The induction of an interferon-induced antiviral state is a powerful cellular response against viral infection that limits viral spread. Here we show that a pre-existing antiviral state inhibits replication of influenza A viruses in human A549 cells by ...

SARS-CoV-2 infection primes cross-protective respiratory IgA in a MyD88- and MAVS-dependent manner
npj VaccinesSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is constantly evolving mutations in the Spike protein to evade humoral immunity. Respiratory tract antiviral IgA antibodies are superior to circulating IgG antibodies in preventing SARS-CoV-2 ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study identifies somatostatin receptor 4 (Sstr4) as a critical tumor suppressor against skin and head/neck cancers (HNSCC, cSCC, and BCC). The loss of Sstr4 removes a check on cell growth, causing hyperactivation of the MAPK‐ERK signaling pathway (↑).

Association of early age at establishment of chronic hepatitis B infection with persistent viral replication, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma: a systematic review. [PDF]
, 2013 Age at infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a known risk factor for chronic HBV infection. However, in addition, there is some evidence that early age at infection further increases the risk of primary liver cancer beyond its association with ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Partial inhibition of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) can paradoxically promote tumor growth, rather than simply producing a weaker antitumor effect than that observed with strong FAK suppression. In breast cancer and melanoma models, targeting p110δ PI3K, particularly in macrophages, counteracted these tumor‐promoting effects, highlighting the importance ...

Stimulation requirement and pathogenetic significance of T cells during chronic viral hepatitis. [PDF]
, 2007 Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) are important causes of liver inflammation and fibrosis. More than 500 million people are persistently infected worldwide and consequently are at increased risk of developing chronic liver disease ...
