Selective autophagy controls innate immune response through a TAK1/TAB2/SH3PX1 axis.
(CELL PRESS, 2022-01-25)
Selective autophagy is a catabolic route that turns over specific cellular material for degradation by lysosomes, and whose role in the regulation of innate immunity is largely unexplored. Here, we show that the apical ...
DRP1 levels determine the apoptotic threshold during embryonic differentiation through a mitophagy-dependent mechanism.
(CELL PRESS, 2022-06-06)
The changes that drive differentiation facilitate the emergence of abnormal cells that need to be removed before they contribute to further development or the germline. Consequently, in mice in the lead-up to gastrulation, ...
Estrogen receptor positive breast cancers have patient specific hormone sensitivities and rely on progesterone receptor.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-06-06)
Estrogen and progesterone receptor (ER, PR) signaling control breast development and impinge on breast carcinogenesis. ER is an established driver of ER + disease but the role of the PR, itself an ER target gene, is debated. ...
ERG activity is regulated by endothelial FAK coupling with TRIM25/USP9x in vascular patterning.
(COMPANY BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2022-07-01)
Precise vascular patterning is crucial for normal growth and development. The ERG transcription factor drives Delta-like ligand 4 (DLL4)/Notch signalling and is thought to act as a pivotal regulator of endothelial cell ...
Cancer Burden Is Controlled by Mural Cell-β3-Integrin Regulated Crosstalk with Tumor Cells.
(CELL PRESS, 2020-06-11)
Enhanced blood vessel (BV) formation is thought to drive tumor growth through elevated nutrient delivery. However, this observation has overlooked potential roles for mural cells in directly affecting tumor growth independent ...
Pericyte FAK negatively regulates Gas6/Axl signalling to suppress tumour angiogenesis and tumour growth.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-06-04)
The overexpression of the protein tyrosine kinase, Focal adhesion kinase (FAK), in endothelial cells has implicated its requirement in angiogenesis and tumour growth, but how pericyte FAK regulates tumour angiogenesis is ...
Ubiquitylation of MLKL at lysine 219 positively regulates necroptosis-induced tissue injury and pathogen clearance.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-06-07)
Necroptosis is a lytic, inflammatory form of cell death that not only contributes to pathogen clearance but can also lead to disease pathogenesis. Necroptosis is triggered by RIPK3-mediated phosphorylation of MLKL, which ...
Polθ inhibitors elicit BRCA-gene synthetic lethality and target PARP inhibitor resistance.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2021-06-17)
To identify approaches to target DNA repair vulnerabilities in cancer, we discovered nanomolar potent, selective, low molecular weight (MW), allosteric inhibitors of the polymerase function of DNA polymerase Polθ, including ...
Membrane expression of the estrogen receptor ERα is required for intercellular communications in the mammary epithelium.
(COMPANY BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2020-03-11)
17β-Estradiol induces the postnatal development of mammary gland and influences breast carcinogenesis by binding to the estrogen receptor ERα. ERα acts as a transcription factor but also elicits rapid signaling through a ...
The secreted protease Adamts18 links hormone action to activation of the mammary stem cell niche.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-03-26)
Estrogens and progesterone control breast development and carcinogenesis via their cognate receptors expressed in a subset of luminal cells in the mammary epithelium. How they control the extracellular matrix, important ...
