Targeting Membrane Lipid a Potential Cancer Cure?
Cancer mortality and morbidity is projected to increase significantly over the next few decades. Current chemotherapeutic strategies have significant limitations, and there is great interest in seeking novel therapies which are capable of specifically targeting cancer cells. Given that fundamental differences exist between the cellular membranes of healthy cells and tumor cells, novel therapies...
متن کاملIntracellular sorting of neuromodulin (GAP-43) mutants modified in the membrane targeting domain.
Neuromodulin (GAP-43) is a neurospecific calmodulin binding protein that is targeted to neuronal growth cones via fast axonal transport by an undefined mechanism. The protein is associated with membranes by palmitoylation of cys-3 and cys-4. The objective of this study was to examine the intracellular localization of neuromodulin and neuromodulin mutants modified in the membrane targeting domai...
متن کاملPharmacological targeting of the β-amyloid precursor protein intracellular domain
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) intracellular domain (AICD) is a product of APP processing with transcriptional modulation activity, whose overexpression causes various Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related dysfunctions. Here we report that 1-(3',4'-dichloro-2-fluoro[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid) (CHF5074), a compound that favorably affects neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation an...
متن کاملTargeting dual specificity protein kinase TTK attenuates tumorigenesis of glioblastoma
Accumulating evidence has proved that glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) are responsible for tumorigenesis, treatment resistance, and subsequent tumor recurrence in glioblastoma (GBM). In this study, we identified dual specificity protein kinase TTK (TTK) as the most up-regulated and differentially expressed kinase encoding genes in GSCs. Functionally, TTK was essential for in vitro clonogenicity an...
متن کاملIntracellular targeting with engineered proteins
If the isolation, production, and clinical use of insulin marked the inception of the age of biologics as therapeutics, the convergence of molecular biology and combinatorial engineering techniques marked its coming of age. The first wave of recombinant protein-based drugs in the 1980s demonstrated emphatically that proteins could be engineered, formulated, and employed for clinical advantage. ...
