Gelatin Zymography of Major Proteases in Exosomes of Leishmania major Promastigotes

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2023
Background: Enzymatic digestion of extra cellular matrix proteins by proteinases of   Leishmania promastigotes is a complex process. Hence, studies on functional proteomics of these enzymes can help select these enzymes as possible vaccine candidates or

Phenotypic characterization of human prostatic stromal cells in primary cultures derived from human tissue samples [PDF]

, 2013
Emerging evidence has shown that the tumor microenvironment plays a crucial role in prostate cancer (PCa) development and progression. However, the mechanism(s) through which stromal cells regulate epithelial cells and the differences among prostatic ...

Design and Synthesis of Peptide‐Polyester Conjugates for Cell‐Mediated Scaffold Degradation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work describes polycaprolactone (PCL)‐based biomaterials engineered to degrade in response to cell‐secreted proteases. A fast‐degrading peptide (Fast) sequence is integrated into a PCL conjugate backbone to produce a biomaterial that is selectively degraded by multiple cell types compared to its scrambled control (ScrFast).

Detection of Functional Matrix Metalloproteinases by Zymography [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2010
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-containing endopeptidases. They degrade proteins by cleavage of peptide bonds. More than twenty MMPs have been identified and are separated into six groups based on their structure and substrate specificity (collagenases, gelatinases, membrane type [MT-MMP], stromelysins, matrilysins, and others).

16S rDNA-Based Identification of Novel Superoxide Dismutase Producing Bacteria Isolated from Indonesia

Microbiology Indonesia, 2011
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) has therapeutic importance because of its antioxidant activity and protects cells from reactive oxygen species attack. This research was intended to screen bacteria isolated from Indonesia for producing novel SODs and to ...

Matrix modification for enhancing the transport properties of the human cartilage endplate to improve disc nutrition. [PDF]

, 2019
Poor solute transport through the cartilage endplate (CEP) impairs disc nutrition and could be a key factor that limits the success of intradiscal biologic therapies.

Interactions of Antibody Drug Conjugate Anti‐Tubulin and Topoisomerase I Inhibitor Payloads with Radiotherapy to Potentiate Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Antibody drug conjugates deliver their cytotoxic anti‐tubulin or topoisomerase I inhibitor payloads to tumors through cancer cell receptor targeting. The released drug payloads induce cellular changes that interact with radiotherapy resulting in radiosensitization that improves cancer cell kill and stimulates anti‐tumor immune responses.

TL1A/DR3 axis involvement in the inflammatory cytokine network during pulmonary sarcoidosis [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: TNF-like ligand 1A (TL1A), a recently recognized member of the TNF superfamily, and its death domain receptor 3 (DR3), firstly identified for their relevant role in T lymphocyte homeostasis, are now well-known mediators of several immune ...

Vitamins as potent cancer treatments through regulating the activity and expression of MMP‐2 and MMP‐9

Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
Vitamins could regulate both MMP‐2 and MMP‐9 expression and activity through transcriptional and MAPK signaling pathway modulation. This study highlights the potential of vitamins as low‐toxicity therapeutic or adjunct agents for targeting MMP‐mediated cancer progression. Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP‐2 and MMP‐9) are key regulators of cancer

The IkB kinase inhibitor nuclear factor-kB essential modulator–binding domain peptide for inhibition of balloon injury-induced neointimal formation [PDF]

, 2009
Objective—The activation of nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) is a crucial step in the arterial wall’s response to injury. The identification and characterization of the NF-kB essential modulator– binding domain (NBD) peptide, which can block the activation of
