MicroRNA (miR)-126 is frequently downregulated in malignancies, including breast cancer (BC). Despite its tumor-suppressive role, the mechanisms underlying miR-126 deregulation BC remain elusive. Through silencing experiments, we identified Early B Cell Factor 1 (EBF1), ETS Proto-Oncogene 2 (ETS2), and Krüppel-Like (KLF2) as pivotal regulators of expression. These transcription factors were found to be due epigenetic or a “poised but not transcribed” promoter state, impairing Gene Ontology...
Abstract: To infect target cells, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type I (HIV‐1) must engage not only well‐known CD4 molecule, but it also requires one of several recently described coreceptors. In particular, CXCR4 (LESTR/fusin) receptor allows fusion and entry T‐tropic strains HIV, whereas CCR5 is major coreceptor used by primary HIV‐1 that macrophages + T‐helper cells (M‐tropic viruses). addition, α chemokine SDF1α β chemokines MIP1α, MIP1β, RANTES, natural ligands CCR5,...
Several phytochemical-containing herbal extracts are increasingly marketed as health-promoting products. In particular, chamomile (Matricaria recutita L.) is well known for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antitumor properties. Here, we evaluated differences in chemical composition among six commercially available products their potential impact on biological activity human immortalized colonocytes. Our investigation encompassed: (i) preparation of dry yield evaluation; (ii) qualitative...
Among the surrounding cells influencing tumor biology, platelets are recognized as novel players they release microvesicles (MVs) that, once delivered to cancer cells, modulate signaling pathways related cell growth and dissemination. We have previously shown that physiological delivery of platelet MVs enriched in miR-126 exerted anti-tumor effects different breast (BC) lines. Here, we seek further insight by identifying AKT2 kinase a miR-126-3p direct target, assessed bioinformatic analysis...
