ZEB2 drives immature T-cell lymphoblastic leukaemia development via enhanced tumour-initiating potential and IL-7 receptor signalling.

Nat. Commun. 6 , 5794, (2015)

Early T-cell precursor leukaemia (ETP-ALL) is a high-risk subtype of human leukaemia that is poorly understood at the molecular level. Here we report translocations targeting the zinc finger E-box-binding transcription factor ZEB2 as a recurrent genetic lesio...

Targeting glucose uptake with siRNA-based nanomedicine for cancer therapy.

Biomaterials 51 , 1-11, (2015)

Targeting cancer metabolism is emerging as a successful strategy for cancer therapy. However, most of the marketed anti-metabolism drugs in cancer therapy do not distinguish normal cells from cancer cells, leading to severe side effects. In this study, we rep...

BBS4 directly affects proliferation and differentiation of adipocytes.

Cell. Mol. Life Sci. 71(17) , 3381-92, (2014)

BBS4 is one of several proteins whose defects cause Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), a multi-systemic disorder, manifesting with marked obesity. BBS4 polymorphisms have been associated with common non-syndromic morbid obesity. BBS4 obesity molecular mechanisms, a...

Co-ordinated brain and craniofacial development depend upon Patched1/XIAP regulation of cell survival.

Hum. Mol. Genet. 24(3) , 698-713, (2015)

Congenital brain and craniofacial defects often occur together as a consequence of their developmental dependency on common progenitor tissue interactions and signaling pathways during embryogenesis. A classic example of this is perturbation of midline embryo...

The CAP1/Prss8 catalytic triad is not involved in PAR2 activation and protease nexin-1 (PN-1) inhibition.

FASEB J. 28(11) , 4792-805, (2014)

Serine proteases, serine protease inhibitors, and protease-activated receptors (PARs) are responsible for several human skin disorders characterized by impaired epidermal permeability barrier function, desquamation, and inflammation. In this study, we address...

Kafirin adsorption on ion-exchange resins: isotherm and kinetic studies.

J. Chromatogr. A. 1356 , 105-16, (2014)

Kafirin is a natural, hydrophobic and celiac safe prolamin protein obtained from sorghum seeds. Today kafirin is found to be useful in designing delayed delivery systems and coatings of pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals where its purity is important and this...

Altered cytological parameters in buccal cells from individuals with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease.

Cytometry. A 85(8) , 698-708, (2014)

Previous studies have shown that mild cognitive impairment (MCI) may be reflective of the early stages of more pronounced neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). There is a need for a minimally invasive and inexpensive diagnostic to iden...

A short splice form of Xin-actin binding repeat containing 2 (XIRP2) lacking the Xin repeats is required for maintenance of stereocilia morphology and hearing function.

J. Neurosci. 35(5) , 1999-2014, (2015)

Approximately one-third of known deafness genes encode proteins located in the hair bundle, the sensory hair cell's mechanoreceptive organelle. In previous studies, we used mass spectrometry to characterize the hair bundle's proteome, resulting in the discove...

TAp73 promotes cell survival upon genotoxic stress by inhibiting p53 activity.

Oncotarget 5(18) , 8107-22, (2014)

p53 plays a key role in regulating DNA damage response by suppressing cell cycle progression or inducing apoptosis depending on extent of DNA damage. However, it is not clear why mild genotoxic stress favors growth arrest, whereas excessive lesions signal cel...

Therapeutic silencing of miR-652 restores heart function and attenuates adverse remodeling in a setting of established pathological hypertrophy.

FASEB J. 28(12) , 5097-110, (2014)

Expression of microRNA-652 (miR-652) increases in the diseased heart, decreases in a setting of cardioprotection, and is inversely correlated with heart function. The aim of this study was to assess the therapeutic potential of inhibiting miR-652 in a mouse m...
