Levels of low-molecular-weight hyaluronan in periodontitis-treated patients and its immunostimulatory effects on CD4+ T lymphocytes
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2021-02-26)Objectives During periodontitis, chronic inflammation triggers soft tissue breakdown, and hyaluronan is degraded into fragments of low molecular weight (LMW-HA). This investigation aimed to elucidate whether LMW-HA fragments ... -
Linked homozygous BMPR1B and PDHA2 variants in a consanguineous family with complex digit malformation and male infertility
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018)In affected members of a consanguineous family, a syndrome, which is concurrence of set of medical signs, is often observed and commonly assumed to have arisen from pleiotropy, i.e., the phenomenon of a single gene variant ... -
Metformin protects from oxaliplatin induced peripheral neuropathy in rats
(Elsevier BV, 2020-08)Oxaliplatin is a commonly used drug to treat cancer, extending the rate of disease-free survival by 20% in colorectal cancer. However, oxaliplatin induces a disabling form of neuropathy resulting in more than 60% of patients ... -
Mitochondria and Calcium Regulation as Basis of Neurodegeneration Associated With Aging
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018)Age is the main risk factor for the onset of neurodegenerative diseases. A decline of mitochondrial function has been observed in several age-dependent neurodegenerative diseases and may be a major contributing factor in ... -
MLN64 induces mitochondrial dysfunction associated with increased mitochondrial cholesterol content
(Elsevier BV, 2017)MLN64 is a late endosomal cholesterol-binding membrane protein that has been implicated in cholesterol transport from endosomal membranes to the plasma membrane and/or mitochondria, in toxin-induced resistance, and in ... -
Molecular analysis of axonal-intrinsic and glial-associated co-regulation of axon degeneration
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2017-11)Wallerian degeneration is an active program tightly associated with axonal degeneration, required for axonal regeneration and functional recovery after nerve damage. Here we provide a functional molecular foundation for ... -
MTOR-independent autophagy induced by interrupted endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondrial Ca2+ communication: a dead end in cancer cells
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2019)The interruption of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondrial Ca2+ communication induces a bioenergetic crisis characterized by an increase of MTOR-independent AMPK-dependent macroautophagic/autophagic flux, which is not ... -
Mutation of vsx genes in zebrafish highlights the robustness of the retinal specification network
(eLIFE SCIENCES PUBL LTD, 2023-05-25)early function in progenitors' specification, and a later requirement for bipolar-cells fate determination. Despite their conserved expression patterns, it is currently unclear to which extent Vsx functions are also conserved ... -
Network approach identifies Pacer as an autophagy protein involved in ALS pathogenesis
(BMC, 2019)BackgroundAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a multifactorial fatal motoneuron disease without a cure. Ten percent of ALS cases can be pointed to a clear genetic cause, while the remaining 90% is classified as sporadic. ... -
Neural crest E-cadherin loss drives cleft lip/palate by epigenetic modulation via pro-inflammatory gene-environment interaction
(Nature Publishing Group, 2023-05-24)Gene-environment interactions are believed to play a role in multifactorial phenotypes, although poorly described mechanistically. Cleft lip/palate (CLP), the most common craniofacial malformation, has been associated with ... -
Nicotinamide, a Poly [ADP-Ribose] Polymerase 1 (PARP-1) Inhibitor, as an Adjunctive Therapy for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-08)Nicotinamide (vitamin B3) is a key component in the cellular production of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) and has long been associated with neuronal development, survival and death. Numerous data suggest that ... -
On the Right Track to Treat Movement Disorders: Promising Therapeutic Approaches for Parkinson's and Huntington's Disease
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-09)Movement disorders are neurological conditions in which patients manifest a diverse range of movement impairments. Distinct structures within the basal ganglia of the brain, an area involved in movement regulation, are ... -
Origin of axonal proteins: Is the axon-schwann cell unit a functional syncytium?
(CIENCIAS, 2016)The structural homeostasis is challenging for neurons, whose axons extend up to meters in large animals, and the axoplasmic mass reaches over a thousand times that of the cell body. Thus, the protein demand may overcome ... -
Outside in: Unraveling the Role of Neuroinflammation in the Progression of Parkinson's Disease
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018)Neuroinflammation is one of the most important processes involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). The current concept of neuroinflammation comprises an inflammation process, which occurs in the central ... -
P130Cas/bcar1 mediates zebrafish caudal vein plexus angiogenesis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-09)P130CAS/BCAR1 belongs to the CAS family of adaptor proteins, with important regulatory roles in cell migration, cell cycle control, and apoptosis. Previously, we and others showed that P130CAS mediates VEGF-A and PDGF ... -
Pangenome analysis reveals genetic isolation in Campylobacter hyointestinalis subspecies adapted to different mammalian hosts
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-02-09)Campylobacter hyointestinalis is an emerging pathogen currently divided in two subspecies: C. hyointestinalis subsp. lawsonii which is predominantly recovered from pigs, and C. hyointestinalis subsp. hyointestinalis which ... -
Phosphorylation of Endothelin-Converting Enzyme-1c at Serines 18 and 20 by CK2 Promotes Aggressiveness Traits in Colorectal Cancer Cells
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-07)Endothelin-converting enzyme-1 (ECE1) activates the endothelin-1 peptide, which upregulates pathways that are related to diverse hallmarks of cancer. ECE1 is expressed as four isoforms differing in their N-terminal domains. ... -
