Tailoring extracellular vesicles (EVs) as targeted drug delivery systems to enhance the therapeutic efficacy showed superior advantage over liposomal therapies. Herein, we developed a novel nanotool for targeting B16.F10 murine melanoma, based on EVs stabilized with Polyethylene glycol (PEG) and loaded doxorubicin (DOX). Small were efficiently enriched from melanoma cells cultured under metabolic stress by ultrafiltration coupled size exclusion chromatography (UF-SEC) characterized size,...

Abstract Eyes absent (EYA) proteins are unusual combining in a single polypeptide chain transactivation, threonine phosphatase, and tyrosine phosphatase activities. They play pivotal roles organogenesis involved variety of physiological pathological processes including innate immunity, DNA damage repair or cancer metastasis. The molecular targets EYA activity still elusive. Therefore, we sought to identify novel substrates also obtain further insight into the tyrosine-dephosphorylating role...

Abstract The transient receptor potential melastatin type 8 (TRPM8) channel is expressed in primary afferent neurons where it the main transducer of innocuous cold temperatures and also a variety tumors, involved progression metastasis. Modulation this by intracellular signaling pathways has therefore important clinical implications. We investigated modulation recombinant natively TRPM8 Src kinase, which known to be cancer pathophysiology inflammation. Human HEK293T cells constitutively...

Eyes absent (EYA) are non-thiol-based protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) that also have transcriptional co-activator functions. Their PTP activity is involved in various pathologies. Recently, we demonstrated Src kinase phosphorylates human EYA3 by controlling its subcellular localization. We found EYA3's ability to autodephosphorylate, while raising the question if two opposing processes could be maintaining a physiologically adequate level of phosphorylation. Using native and bottom-up...

In the present study, new 1,2,4-triazoles, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles, and acylthiosemicarbaz-ides derived from 4-(4-chlorophenylsulfonyl)benzoic acid hydrazide were synthesized screened for their antimicrobial analgesic activities. Acylthiosemicarbazides 2–4 by a reaction of 4-(4-chlorophenyl-sulfonyl)benzoic 1 with different arylisothiocyanates.4,5-Disubstituted-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-thiones 5–7 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 8–10 obtained dehydrative cyclization corresponding...
