Diverse matrix metalloproteinase functions regulate cancer amoeboid migration
Rounded-amoeboid cancer cells use actomyosin contractility driven by Rho-ROCK and JAK-STAT3 to migrate efficiently. It has been suggested that rounded-amoeboid cancer cells do not require matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to invade. Here we compare MMP levels in rounded-amoeboid and elongated-mesenchymal melanoma cells. Surprisingly, we find that rounded-amoeboid melanoma cells secrete higher le...
متن کاملMicroRNAs Regulate Vascular Medial Calcification
Vascular calcification is highly prevalent in patients with coronary artery disease and, when present, is associated with major adverse cardiovascular events, including an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. The pathogenesis of vascular calcification is complex and is now recognized to recapitulate skeletal bone formation. Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) play an integral role in this...
متن کاملMicroRNAs regulate expression of oncogenes.
Featured Article: Johnson SM, Grosshans H, Shingara J, Byrom M, Jarvis R, Cheng A, Labourier E, et al. RAS is regulated by the let-7 microRNA family. Cell 2005;120:635– 47. Today, we fully appreciate that microRNAs (miRNAs) represent a paradigm shift in our understanding of gene expression and disease, but it was not always this way. miRNAs are small noncoding RNAs belonging to a novel class of...
متن کاملConvergent molecular defects underpin diverse neurodegenerative diseases.
In our ageing population, neurodegenerative disorders carry an enormous personal, societal and economic burden. Although neurodegenerative diseases are often thought of as clinicopathological entities, increasing evidence suggests a considerable overlap in the molecular underpinnings of their pathogenesis. Such overlapping biological processes include the handling of misfolded proteins, defecti...
متن کاملJNK functions in the non-canonical Wnt pathway to regulate convergent extension movements in vertebrates.
Recent genetic studies in Drosophila identified a novel non-canonical Wnt pathway, the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway, that signals via JNK to control epithelial cell polarity in Drosophila. Most recently, a pathway regulating convergent extension movements during gastrulation in vertebrate embryos has been shown to be a vertebrate equivalent of the PCP pathway. However, it is not known whe...
