Tumor angiogenesis requires intricate regulation of gene expression in endothelial cells (EC). We recently showed that DNA methyltransferase (DNMT)- and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors directly repress EC growth and tumor angiogenesis, suggesting that epigenetic modifications mediated by DNMTs...

Neurotrophins (NTs) promotes angiogenesis and EC survival, via tropomyosin kinase trkA and trkB receptors. A different p75NTR receptor of NTs, which belongs to the TNF-alfa receptor superfamily, is not or scarcely expressed by endothelial cells (EC) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) under basal...

The mature CNS contains PDGFRA+ ‘oligodendrocyte progenitor cells’ (OPC) which may remain quiescent, proliferate, or differentiate into oligodendrocytes. In human gliomas, rapidly proliferating Olig2+ cells resembling OPCs are frequently observed. We sought to identify, in vivo, candidate pathways u...

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) from patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) fail to produce microbicidal concentrations of reactive oxygen species due to mutations in NOX2. Patients with CGD suffer from severe, life-threatening infections and inflammatory complications. Granulibacter...

Live attenuated vaccines are often superior to dead vaccines, yet the immunological mechanisms remain largely obscure. We have recently uncovered an inherent capacity of antigen-presenting cells (APC) to discriminate live from killed bacteria by virtue of vita-PAMPs. Here we found that innate recogn...

Mutation of the gene PARK2 is the most common cause of early-onset Parkinson's Disease (PD)1,2. PARK2 encodes a gene product with E3 ubiquitin ligase activity3. In a search for multisite tumor suppressors, we identified PARK2 as a frequently targeted gene on chromosome 6q25.2-q27 in cancer. Here,...

Hepatic fibrosis is a wound-healing response to chronic liver injury, which may result in cirrhosis and liver failure. The c-Jun N-terminal kinase-1 (JNK1) gene has been shown to be involved in liver fibrosis. Here, we aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism and identify the cell-type involved ...
