C-myc regulates cell size and ploidy but is not essential for postnatal proliferation in liver.
The c-Myc protein is a transcription factor implicated in the regulation of multiple biological processes, including cell proliferation, cell growth, and apoptosis. In vivo overexpression of c-myc is linked to tumor ...
CDK9 inhibition as an effective therapy for small cell lung cancer
Treatment-naïve small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is typically susceptible to standard-of-care chemotherapy consisting of cisplatin and etoposide recently combined with PD-L1 inhibitors. Yet, in most cases, SCLC patients develop ...
Circulating exosomes potentiate tumor malignant properties in a mouse model of chronic sleep fragmentation
Background: Chronic sleep fragmentation (SF) increases cancer aggressiveness in mice. Exosomes exhibit pleiotropic biological functions, including immune regulatory functions, antigen presentation, intracellular communication ...
Albumin Lipidomics Reveals Meaningful Compositional Changes in Advanced Cirrhosis and Its Potential to Promote Inflammation Resolution
Albumin infusions are therapeutically used to revert hypoalbuminemia and to replace the extensively oxidized albumin molecule circulating in patients with acutely decompensated (AD) cirrhosis. Because albumin has high ...
Exploring Synergistic Approaches to Enhance Blinatumomab's Efficacy in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Resistance to blinatumomab (CD19-CD3 BiTE) is a significant obstacle in the treatment of B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL), prompting the investigation of novel drug combinations. We aimed to generate ...
The AMPA receptor positive allosteric modulator S 47445 rescues in vivo CA3-CA1 long-term potentiation and structural synaptic changes in old mice
Positive allosteric modulators of cc-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPARs) are small molecules that decrease deactivation of AMPARs via an allosteric site. These molecules keep the receptor ...
A clathrin-dependent pathway leads to KRas signaling on late endosomes en route to lysosomes
Ras proteins are small guanosine triphosphatases involved in the regulation of important cellular functions such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Understanding the intracellular trafficking of Ras proteins ...
Actin filaments are involved in the functional coupling of Vo-V1 domains of vacuolar H-ATPase at the Golgi complex
We previously reported that actin-depolymerizing agents promote the alkalization of the Golgi stack and thetrans-Golgi network. The main determinant of acidic pH at the Golgi is the vacuolar-type H(+)-translocating ATPase ...
Moesin interacts with the cytoplasmic region of intercellular adhesion molecule-3 and is redistributed to the uropod of T Lymphocytes during cell polarization
During activation, T lymphocytes become motile cells, switching from a spherical to a polarized shape. Chemokines and other chemotactic cytokines induce lymphocyte polarization with the formation of a uropod in the rear ...
Imbalance of p75(NTR)/TrkB protein expression in Huntington's disease: implication for neuroprotective therapies
Neuroprotective therapies based on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) administration have been proposed forHuntington's disease (HD) treatment. However, our group has recently reported reduced levels of TrkB in HD ...
RNA-Seq transcriptomic profiling of primary murine microglia treated with LPS or LPS+IFNγ
Microglia, the main resident immune cells in the CNS, are thought to participate in the pathogenesis of various neurological disorders. LPS and LPS + IFNγ are stimuli that are widely used to activate microglia. However, ...
The ectodomains of the lymphocyte scavenger receptors CD5 and CD6 interact with tegumental antigens from Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato and protect mice against secondary cystic echinococcosis
Background: Scavenger Receptors (SRs) from the host's innate immune system are known to bind multiple ligands to promote the removal of non-self or altered-self targets. CD5 and CD6 are two highly homologous class I SRs ...
CD6 modulates thymocyte selection and peripheral T cell homeostasis
The CD6 glycoprotein is a lymphocyte surface receptor putatively involved in T cell development and activation. CD6 facilitates adhesion between T cells and antigen-presenting cells through its interaction with CD166/ALCAM ...
NatB-mediated protein N-alpha-terminal acetylation is a potential therapeutic target in hepatocellular carcinoma
The identification of new targets for systemic therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an urgent medical need. Recently, we showed that hNatB catalyzes the N-α- terminal acetylation of 15% of the human proteome and ...
Tropomyosin controls sarcomere-like contractions for rigidity sensing and suppressing growth on soft matrices
Cells test the rigidity of the extracellular matrix by applying forces to it through integrin adhesions. Recent measurements show that these forces are applied by local micrometre-scale contractions, but how contraction ...
Bolonia en las facultades de medicina españolas, seis años después: algunas preguntas para la reflexión
En el año 2009, la gran mayoría de las facultades de medicina españolas ponían en marcha sus nuevos planes de estudios, adaptados a lo que hemos venido denominando Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior o proceso de ...
Reduced plasma extracellular vesicle CD5L content in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure: interplay with specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators.
Acute-on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a syndrome that develops in patients with acutely decompensated cirrhosis (AD). It is characterized by a systemic hyperinflammatory state, leading to multiple organ failure. Our ...
Lung function in young adults born small for gestational age at term
Moderate to extreme prematurity is associated with lower lung function in adults1 while evidence is poorer and controversial for late prematurity.2 Likewise, the potential longterm impact on adult lung function of being ...
SARS-CoV-2 vaccine excipients polyethylene glycol and trometamol do not induce mast cell degranulation, in an in vitro model for non-IgE-mediated hypersensitivity
The development of vaccines against SARS-CoV2 brought about several challenges, including the management of hypersensitivity reactions to these formulations. The search for underlying mechanisms involved in these adverse ...
Mutant huntingtin impairs the post-Golgi trafficking of brain-derived neurotrophic factor but not its Val66Met polymorphism.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) polymorphism is associated with the pathophysiology of several neurodegenerative disorders, including Huntington"s disease. In view ofthese data andthe involvement of huntingtin in ...
