PCDH1, a poor prognostic biomarker and potential target for pancreatic adenocarcinoma metastatic therapy

175 views | Jan 20 2024

The study highlights protocadherin 1 (PCDH1) as a pivotal prognostic biomarker and metastasis promoter in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD), suggesting flutamide's potential as a therapeutic avenue by down-regulating PCDH1 expression to impede PAAD progression. [Read the Full Post]

GW0742 reduces mast cells degranulation and attenuates neurological impairments via PPARβ/δ/CD300a/SHP1 pathway after GMH in neonatal rats

165 views | Jan 13 2024

The study presents compelling evidence that GW0742, a PPARβ/δ agonist, attenuates mast cell-induced inflammation post-germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH) by activating the CD300a/SHP1 pathway, offering a promising avenue for mitigating brain injury in GMH patients. [Read the Full Post]

Targeting lipid-sensing nuclear receptors PPAR (α, γ, β/δ): HTVS and molecular docking/dynamics analysis of pharmacological ligands as potential pan-PPAR agonists

205 views | Oct 19 2023

The study identified eprosartan as a potential PPAR pan-agonist with strong binding affinity to all PPAR isoforms, demonstrated superior stability in protein-ligand complex formation, and showed promising therapeutic effects in an in vitro model of NAFLD. [Read the Full Post]

The synthetic oleanane triterpenoid CDDO-2P-Im binds GRP78/BiP to induce unfolded protein response-mediated apoptosis in myeloma

344 views | Sep 21 2023

The study demonstrates that the synthetic oleanane triterpenoid 2P-Im induces apoptosis in multiple myeloma cells through activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and direct binding to the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone BiP (GRP78/BiP). [Read the Full Post]

Bioinformatics screening of colorectal-cancer causing molecular signatures through gene expression profiles to discover therapeutic targets and candidate agents

311 views | Aug 02 2023

This study utilized integrated statistics and bioinformatics approaches to identify key genes, transcriptional regulators, and candidate therapeutic agents for colorectal cancer (CRC), highlighting their potential diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic significance. [Read the Full Post]

PPARβ/δ Ligands Regulate Oxidative Status and Inflammatory Response in Inflamed Corpus Luteum-An In Vitro Study

174 views | Jul 12 2023

This study revealed that PPARβ/δ agonists at different concentrations regulate the inflammatory response in the pig corpus luteum, with the lower dose showing anti-inflammatory effects and the higher dose potentially supporting the immune response against pathogens. [Read the Full Post]

HBXIP blocks myosin-IIA assembly by phosphorylating and interacting with NMHC-IIA in breast cancer metastasis

150 views | Apr 22 2023

The study found that the oncoprotein HBXIP promotes breast cancer cell migration by blocking myosin-IIA assembly, and that the anti-hyperlipidemic drug bezafibrate (BZF) can inhibit PKCβII-mediated NMHC-IIA phosphorylation and suppress breast cancer metastasis both in vitro and in vivo.
