Specific inhibition of P-selectin-mediated cell adhesion by phage display-derived peptide antagonists.
P-selectin is a leukocyte adhesion receptor expressed on activated vascular endothelium and platelets that mediates leukocyte rolling and attachment. Because P-selectin is critically involved in inflammation, we used phage display libraries to identify P-selectin-specific peptides that might interfere with its proinflammatory function. Isolated phage contained a highly conserved amino acid moti...
متن کاملSelective inhibition of miR-21 by phage display screened peptide
miRNAs are nodal regulators of gene expression and deregulation of miRNAs is causally associated with different diseases, including cancer. Modulation of miRNA expression is thus of therapeutic importance. Small molecules are currently being explored for their potential to downregulate miRNAs. Peptides have shown to have better potency and selectivity toward their targets but their potential in...
متن کاملPhosphorylated and Non-phosphorylated Leucine Rich Amelogenin Peptide Differentially Affect Ameloblast Mineralization
The Leucine Rich Amelogenin Peptide (LRAP) is a product of alternative splicing of the amelogenin gene. As full length amelogenin, LRAP has been shown, in precipitation experiments, to regulate hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystal formation depending on its phosphorylation status. However, very few studies have questioned the impact of its phosphorylation status on enamel mineralization in biological m...
متن کاملProteins and their peptide motifs in acellular apatite mineralization of scaffolds for tissue engineering.
Many proteins in the inorganic/organic matrix of bone induce or modulate or inhibit mineralization of apatite in vivo. Many attempts have been made to mimic and understand this mechanism as part of bone formation, and ectopic mineralization and control thereof. Many attempts have also been made to use such proteins or protein fragments to harness their potential for improved mineralization. Suc...
متن کاملSpecies-specific inhibition of fertilization by a peptide derived from the sperm protein bindin.
The sperm protein bindin is responsible for the species-specific adhesion of the sperm to the egg. The regions of the bindin molecule responsible for forming the contact between the sperm and the egg were investigated by measuring the ability of peptides representing various regions of the bindin sequence to inhibit fertilization. Twenty-four peptides were studied: 7 based on the Strongylocentr...
