Puckered and JNK signaling in pioneer neurons coordinates the motor activity of the Drosophila embryo

Central nervous system organogenesis is a complex process that obeys precise architectural rules. The impact that nervous system architecture may have on its functionality remains, however, relatively unexplored. To clarify this problem, we analyze the dev ...

Reduced NCOR2 expression accelerates androgen deprivation therapy failure in prostate cancer

Gerard Llimos Aubach

This study addresses the roles of nuclear receptor corepressor 2 (NCOR2) in prostate cancer (PC) progression in response to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Reduced NCOR2 expression significantly associates with shorter disease-free survival in patients ...

Biallelic mutations in calcium release activated channel regulator 2A (CRACR2A) cause a primary immunodeficiency disorder

Dylan Lawless, Beibei Wu

CRAC channel regulator 2 A (CRACR2A) is a large Rab GTPase that is expressed abundantly in T cells and acts as a signal transmitter between T cell receptor stimulation and activation of the Ca2+-NFAT and JNK-AP1 pathways. CRACR2A has been linked to human d ...

A structure-based mechanism of cisplatin resistance mediated by glutathione transferase P1-1

Paul Joseph Dyson, Laure Menin, Wee Han Ang

Cisplatin [cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP)] is one of the most successful anticancer agents effective against a wide range of solid tumors. However, its use is restricted by side effects and/or by intrinsic or acquired drug resistance. Here, we ...

DPPA2 and DPPA4 are necessary to establish a 2C‐like state in mouse embryonic stem cells

Didier Trono, Julien Léonard Duc, Alexandre Coudray, Alberto De Iaco

After fertilization of the transcriptionally silent oocyte, expression from both parental chromosomes is launched through zygotic genome activation (ZGA), occurring in the mouse at the 2-cell (2C) stage. Among the first elements to be transcribed are the D ...

Combined CSL and p53 downregulation promotes cancer-associated fibroblast activation

Cathrin Brisken, Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Csaba Ferenc László, Elena Menietti, Dania Al Labban

Stromal fibroblast senescence has been linked to ageing-associated cancer risk. However, density and proliferation of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are frequently increased. Loss or downmodulation of the Notch effector CSL (also known as RBP-Jκ) in ...

An interplay between the p38 MAPK pathway and AUBPs regulates c-fos mRNA stability during mitogenic stimulation

Diego Chiappe, Tamara Tanos

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways constitute key regulatory elements linking extracellular stimuli to nuclear gene expression. Immediate-early responsive genes (IEGs) of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) family, such as fos, achieve peak expres ...

Modeling of transcription mechanisms in mammals from kinetic measurements in single cells

Benjamin Zoller

In mammals, transcription was observed to occur predominantly in bursts, resulting from short and intense periods of gene transcription interspersed by longer silent periods. In order to elucidate the causes and the consequences of discontinuous transcript ...

The Bcl-2/Bcl-XL inhibitor ABT-737 promotes death of retinoblastoma cancer cells

Purpose: Retinoblastoma is a malignant tumor that usually develops in early childhood. During retinoblastoma spreading, RB1 gene inactivation is followed by additional genomic modifications which progressively lead to resistance of tumor cells to death. Dr ...

MAP Kinase Phosphatase 1 (MKP-1/DUSP1) Is Neuroprotective in Huntington's Disease via Additive Effects of JNK and p38 Inhibition

Darlene Goldstein, Meredith Dixon

We previously demonstrated that sodium butyrate is neuroprotective in Huntington's disease (HD) mice and that this therapeutic effect is associated with increased expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase/dual-specificity phosphatase 1 (MKP-1/DUSP1). ...

Virus inactivation mechanisms: impact of disinfectants on virus function and structural integrity

Tamar Kohn, Krista Rule Wigginton, Brian Pecson, Anne Thérèse Sigstam, Franziska Sara Bosshard

Oxidative processes are often harnessed as tools for pathogen disinfection. Although the pathways responsible for bacterial inactivation with various biocides are fairly well understood, virus inactivation mechanisms are often contradictory or equivocal. I ...

BCR-ABL uncouples canonical JAK2-STAT5 signaling in chronic myeloid leukemia

Oliver Hantschel

Constitutive activation of STAT5 is critical for the maintenance of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) characterized by the BCR-ABL oncoprotein. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for the STAT5-activating kinase JAK2 have been discussed as a treatment option fo ...

Ablation of the Tumor Suppressor Histidine Triad Nucleotide Binding Protein 1 is Protective Against Hepatic Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

Gisèle Ferrand

The identification of cellular pathways capable of limiting ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remains a frontier in medicine, and its clinical relevance is urgent. Histidine triad nucleotide binding protein 1 (HINT1) is a tumor suppressor that influences a ...

Polymer Coiled-Coil Conjugates: Potential for Development as a New Class of Therapeutic “Molecular Switch”

Harm-Anton Klok

Polymer therapeutics, including polymeric drugs and polymer-protein conjugates, are clinically established as first-generation nanomedicines. Knowing that the coiled-coil peptide motif is fundamentally important in the regulation of many cellular and patho ...

Mitotic Catastrophe Occurs in the Absence of Apoptosis in p53-Null Cells with a Defective G1 Checkpoint

Peter Martin Beard, Michail Fragkos

Cell death occurring during mitosis, or mitotic catastrophe, often takes place in conjunction with apoptosis, but the conditions in which mitotic catastrophe may exhibit features of programmed cell death are still unclear. In the work presented here, we st ...

A bifunctional organometallic ruthenium drug with multiple modes of inducing apoptosis

Paul Joseph Dyson, Ilaria Biondi

The organometallic glutathione S-transferase inhibitor ruthenium(II) (ethacrynic acid-η6-benzylamide)(1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) dichloride, termed ethaRAPTA, has been demonstrated to induce apoptosis in the cisplatin-resistant MCF-7 breast cancer c ...

Studies on KRAB/KAP1-Mediated Transcriptional Repression

Anna Claire Groner

The sequencing of the human genome revealed that the C2H2-zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) are the largest family of human transcription factors. Around 300 members of this family contain, in addition to their zinc finger motifs, a KRAB domain that has been imp ...

Antagonistic roles of Notch and p63 in controlling mammary epithelial cell fates

Cathrin Brisken, Maryse Fiche

The breast epithelium has two major compartments, luminal and basal cells, that are established and maintained by poorly understood mechanisms. The p53 homolog, p63, is required for the formation of mammary buds, but its function in the breast after birth ...
