Calcitriol Suppresses HIF-1 and HIF-2 Transcriptional Activity by Reducing HIF-1/2α Protein Levels via a VDR-Independent Mechanism
(2020)Hypoxia-inducible transcription factors 1 and 2 (HIFs) are major mediators of cancer development and progression and validated targets for cancer therapy. Although calcitriol, the biologically active metabolite of vitamin ... -
Depletion of Ras Suppressor-1 (RSU-1) promotes cell invasion of breast cancer cells through a compensatory upregulation of a truncated isoform
(2019)Extracellular matrix (ECM)-adhesion proteins and actin cytoskeleton are pivotal in cancer cell invasion. Ras Suppressor-1 (RSU-1), a cell-ECM adhesion protein that interacts with PINCH-1, thus being connected to Integrin ... -
Expression of AGPAT2, an enzyme involved in the glycerophospholipid/triacylglycerol biosynthesis pathway, is directly regulated by HIF-1 and promotes survival and etoposide resistance of cancer cells under hypoxia
(2018)Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) supports survival of normal cells under low oxygen concentration and cancer cells in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. This involves metabolic reprogramming via upregulation of glycolysis, ... -
Leptin-depended NLRP3 inflammasome activation in osteoarthritic chondrocytes is mediated by ROS
(2022)Leptin and ROS are implicated in the regulation of inflammatory pathways including NLRP3-inflammasome. We investigated the functional link between leptin, ROS and NLRP3-inflammasome formation/activation in osteoarthritis ... -
mTORC2 deploys the mRNA binding protein IGF2BP1 to regulate c-MYC expression and promote cell survival
(2021)mTORC2 promotes cell survival by phosphorylating AKT and enhancing its activity. Inactivation of mTORC2 reduces viability through down-regulation of E2F1 caused by up-regulation of c-MYC. An additional target of mTORC2 is ... -
Novel HIF-2α interaction with Reptin52 impairs HIF-2 transcriptional activity and EPO secretion
(2021)Hypoxia-inducible factor 2 (HIF-2), is essential for cellular response to hypoxia and holds an important role in erythropoiesis, angiogenesis, tissue invasion and metastasis, thus, constituting an important therapeutic ... -
Preparation of sirna-encapsulated plga nanoparticles for sustained release of sirna and evaluation of encapsulation efficiency
(2012)Nanoparticles (NPs) formulated using poly (d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), a biodegradable, biocompatible, and clinically approved polymer, have been widely used for targeted drug delivery. Here we provide methods for ...
