Liver metastasis represents one of the most frequent malignant diseases with no effective treatment. Functional reprogramming Kupffer cells (KCs), largest population hepatic macrophages, holds promise for treating liver cancer, but remains seldom exploited. Taking advantage superior capacity KCs to capture circulating bacteria, we report that a single administration attenuated Escherichia coli producing clustered regularly interspersed short palindromic repeats CasΦ (CRISPR/CasΦ) machinery...

ARH-77 cells do not adhere to type I collagen and readily invade into gels, but following expression of the transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan syndecan-1, they bind fail invade. We now show that transfected with syndecan-2 or syndecan-4 also are non-invasive. In contrast, glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glypican-1 remain invasive, even though glypican- syndecan-expressing have similar surface levels sulfate, their proteoglycans affinities for collagen. Analysis expressing...

Background: Without adequate treatment, pathological cardiac hypertrophy induced by sustained pressure overload eventually leads to heart failure. WWP1 (WW domain–containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1) is an important regulator of aging-related pathologies, including cancer and cardiovascular diseases. However, the role in overload–induced remodeling failure yet be determined. Methods: To examine correlation with hypertrophy, we analyzed expression patients mice subjected transverse...

The NAD+-dependent deacetylase Sirt1 has been implicated in the prevention of many age-related diseases, including cancer, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Resveratrol, a plant polyphenol, exhibits antiaging, antitumor, vascular protection effects by activating Sirt1. However, molecular mechanism activation as induced resveratrol remains unclear. By knockdown/rescue experiments, fluorometric activity assay, immunoprecipitation, pull-down assays, we identify here that tumor...

Abstract Owing to their ability rapidly proliferate in specific niches and amenability genetic manipulation, bacteria are frequently studied as potential diagnostic or therapeutic bioagents a range of pathological contexts. A sustained oxygen supply within solid tumors is essential order achieve positive radiotherapy (RT) outcomes, these intratumoral levels necessary facilitate RT‐induced reactive species (ROS) generation. In this study, genetically engineered variant the tumor‐targeting...

SAD1/UNC84 domain protein-2 (SUN2) plays a tumor suppressor role in various types of cancer by inhibiting cell proliferation, migration and promoting apoptosis. However, the post-translational regulation SUN2 cellular mechanism responsible for its proteasomal degradation remains largely unknown. Here, we show that FBXO2, an E3 ubiquitin ligase F-box proteins (FBPs) family targets glycosylated ubiquitination via ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). By integrating Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA),...

There is evidence that the triazine herbicide atrazine, which used extensively, present in both surface water and groundwater, its interfering effect on immune systems, endocrine tumours has been reported by laboratory epidemiological studies. This study explored how atrazine affected 4T1 breast cancer cell development vitro vivo. The obtained results showed after exposure to proliferation tumour volume were significantly increased expression of MMP2, MMP7, MMP9 was upregulated. thymus...

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell malignancy. Although Dexamethasone (Dex) the most widely used therapeutic drug in MM treatment, patients develop Dex resistance leading to progressive disease, demanding urgent need investigate mechanisms driving and new reagents address this problem. We propose SUMOylation as a potential mechanism regulating inhibition can enhance sensitivity MM.

Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common solid tumor with high rate of recurrence and mortality. Anti-angiogenesis drugs have been used for the therapy HCC. However, anti-angiogenic drug resistance commonly occurs during HCC treatment. Thus, identification novel VEGFA regulator would be better understanding progression resistance. Ubiquitin specific protease 22 (USP22) as deubiquitinating enzyme, participates in variety biological processes numerous tumors. While molecular...

It has been shown that guanine-rich DNA can fold into a G-quadruplex with certain metal cations. The spectral characteristics, thermostability, and kinetics for the formation of Pb2+-driven thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA) were measured in current work using combination ultraviolet (UV) circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy along stopped-flow technique. CD spectra demonstrated TBA could unique strong positive peak at 312 nm. Analysis titration data reveals binding stoichiometry is 1:1 Pb(NO3)2,...

βKlotho is a regulator in multiple metabolic processes, while its role cancer remains unclear. We found the expression of was down-regulated human hepatocellular carcinoma tissues compared with that paired adjacent non-tumourous liver tissues. Hepatoma cells also showed decreased normal hepatocyte cells. Reintroduction into hepatoma inhibited their proliferation. The anti-proliferative effect might be linked G1 to S phase arrest, which mediated by Akt/GSK-3β/cyclin D1 signaling, since forced...

Chromosome segregation in mitosis is orchestrated by the dynamic interactions between kinetochore and spindle microtubules. Our recent study shows that mitotic motor CENP-E cooperates with SKAP to orchestrate an accurate chromosome movement mitosis. However, it remains elusive how core microtubule binding activity KMN (KNL1-MIS12-NDC80) regulates plus-end dynamics. Here, we identify a novel interaction MIS13 orchestrates physically interacts specifies localization of SKAP. Suppression small...

The type III secretion system (T3SS) of Edwardsiella tarda plays an important role in infection by translocating effector proteins into host cells. EseB, a component required for translocation, is reported to mediate autoaggregation E. tarda. In this study, we demonstrate that EseB forms filamentous appendages on the surface and biofilm formation Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM). Biofilm DMEM does not require FlhB, essential assembling flagella. Dynamic analysis filament formation,...
