Plants have the ability to shed organs that are no longer in use. In Arabidopsis thaliana abscission of floral organs involves cell wall remodeling and cell expansion prior to cell wall dissolution. IDA encodes a secreted peptide that signals through the leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases (L...
This study identified differentially expressed miRNAs exclusively in invasive ductal adenocarcinoma. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical step for pancreatic cancer cells as an entry of metastatic disease. Wide variety of cytokines and signaling pathways are involved in this ...
To study the mechanism underlying IDA-induced anti-tumor activity for Abi resistance, LNCaP-Abi cells were treated with Abi alone and in combination with IDA for 24 h. Protein profiles were determined by mass spectrometry
Tmprss6 is the master inhibitor of hepcidin and its inactivation causes iron refractory iron deficiency anemia both in human and in mice. Mice with iron deficiency anemia (IDA)-low hepcidin show a pro-inflammatory response that is blunted in iron deficienct-high hepcidin Tmprss6 null mice. We invest...
Purpose: We aimed to investigate the effect of several anti-leukemia drugs in combination with decitabine (DAC) on the proliferation of myeloid leukemia cells in vitro and in vivo, to select the most efficient combination group and explore associated mechanisms of these combination therapies. Expe...
Background Gastric Helicobacter pylori colonization leads to iron deficiency anemia (IDA), especially in children and adolescents. However the pathogenesis is poorly understood. Objective We sought to identify specific H. pylori genes involved in IDA development, by comparing bacterial genome-wide e...
We present a functional characterisation of two members of the IDA-LIKE (IDL) peptide family in Arabidopsis thaliana, IDL6 and IDL7. They are processed both C- and N-terminally to produce active peptides. Structure analyses of synthesized IDL6 and IDL7 peptides indicate that they lack secondary stru...
