Protease inhibition as new therapeutic strategy for GI diseases
The GI tract is the most exposed organ to proteases, both in physiological and pathophysiological conditions. For digestive purposes, the lumen of the upper GI tract contains large amounts of pancreatic proteases, but studies have also demonstrated increased proteolytic activity into mucosal tissues (both in the upper and lower GI tract), associated with pathological conditions. This review aim...
متن کاملDeubiquitinase inhibition as a cancer therapeutic strategy.
The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is the main system for controlled protein degradation and a key regulator of fundamental cellular processes. The dependency of cancer cells on a functioning UPS has made this an attractive target for development of drugs that show selectivity for tumor cells. Deubiquitinases (DUBs, ubiquitin isopeptidases) are components of the UPS that catalyze the removal...
متن کاملPIP5K1α inhibition as a therapeutic strategy for prostate cancer.
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/ AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is a highly conserved signaling pathway stretching from worms to humans (1). This signaling pathway regulates numerous cellular processes encompassing growth, survival, differentiation, and metabolism and is critical for the survival and growth of cancer (2). Aberrant activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway in...
متن کاملInhibition of semaphorin as a novel strategy for therapeutic angiogenesis.
RATIONALE The axon-guiding molecules known as semaphorins and their receptors (plexins) regulate the vascular pattern and play an important role in the development of vascular network during embryogenesis. Semaphorin (Sema)3E is one of the class 3 semaphorins, and plexinD1 is known to be its receptor. Although these molecules have a role in embryonic vascular development, it remains unclear whe...
متن کاملInhibition of CDK9 as a therapeutic strategy for inflammatory arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is characterised by synovial inflammation and proliferation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes. The induction of apoptosis has long been proposed as a target for proliferative autoimmune diseases, and has further been shown to act as a successful treatment of experimental models of arthritis, such as collagen-induced arthritis. Here we examined the effects of specific oral sma...
