The ERBB4 receptor tyrosine kinase promotes colonocyte survival. Herein, we tested whether ERBB4’s antiapoptotic signaling transformation and colorectal tumorigenesis. alterations in a Cancer Genome Atlas cancer (CRC) data set stratified survival, combined Moffitt Center Vanderbilt Medical CRC expression set, message levels were increased at all tumor stages. Similarly, western blot immunohistochemistry on additional tissue banks showed elevated protein tumors. was highly expressed...

Abstract Efficient clearance of pro-inflammatory macrophages from tissues after resolution a challenge is critical to prevent prolonged inflammation. Defects in can contribute conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, and thus may be therapeutically targetable. However, the signaling pathways that induce termination are incompletely defined. We tested whether ErbB4 receptor tyrosine kinase, previously not known have role macrophage biology, involved this process. In vitro , activation...

A chemo-drug such as cisplatin is effective for cancer treatment but remains non-specific, susceptible to drug resistance, and induces several side effects on organ systems. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8, a type of MOF, has gained attention, including delivery method targeted therapeutics. In this study, ZIF-8/Silica nanocomposite was synthesized using one-pot hydrothermal technique the Stober technique. We studied effect phyto-synthesized GPt CPt efficacy therapy. The texture,...

Abstract Dynamic regulation of intestinal cell differentiation is crucial for both homeostasis and the response to injury or inflammation. Sprouty2, an intracellular signaling regulator, controls pathways including PI3K MAPKs that are implicated in dysregulated inflammatory bowel disease. Here, we ask whether Sprouty2 secretory colitis. We report colonic epithelial deletion leads expanded tuft goblet populations. loss induces PI3K/Akt signaling, leading GSK3β inhibition interleukin (IL)-33...

Intestinal epithelial cell renewal relies on the right balance of migration, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. cells consist absorptive secretory lineage. The latter is comprised goblet, Paneth, enteroendocrine cells. Fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) plays a central role in survival, differentiation several organs. expression pattern FGF10 its receptors both human mouse intestine their small have yet to be investigated. First, we analyzed FGF10, FGFR1, FGFR2, ileum throughout...

Currently, breast cancer treatment mostly revolves around radiation therapy and surgical interventions, but often these treatments do not provide satisfactory relief to the patients cause unmanageable side-effects. Nanomaterials show promising results in treating cells have many advantages such as high biocompatibility, bioavailability effective therapeutic capabilities. Interestingly, fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles been used biological diagnostic applications, there is no report of use...

Nanoparticles have many advantages such as high biocompatibility, bioavailability and effective therapeutic capabilities. The aim of the present study is to examine whether fluorescent magnetic submicronic polymer nanoparticles (FMSP-nanoparticles) any impact on human colorectal cancer cells. In study, we tested FMSP-nanoparticles with an average size 100-200 nm carcinoma cells (HCT-116) check their cytotoxic anti-cancer effects were observed after 6 h, 24 h 48 intervals. response...

Both nanoparticles and cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) possess anticancer properties, but they do not elicit a significant response on cancer cells when treated alone. In the present study, we have tested fluorescent magnetic submicronic polymer (FMSP-nanoparticles) in combination with crude clove extracts human breast (MCF-7) to examine whether approach enhance cell death. The MCF-7 were different concentrations (1.25 μ g/mL, 12.5 50 75 100 g/mL) of FMSP-nanoparticles alone g/mL extracts....
