TRPM8 Puts the Chill on Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in developed countries. Several studies suggest that variations in calcium homeostasis are involved in carcinogenesis. Interestingly, (Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin member 8) TRPM8 calcium permeable channel expression is differentially regulated during prostate carcinogenesis, thereby suggesting a potential function...
متن کاملThe VEGF Family, the Inside Story
The role of paracrine signaling by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the formation and maintenance of blood vessels has been studied extensively. In this issue, Lee et al. (2007) report unexpected results showing that endogenous VEGF produced by endothelial cells is also crucial for vascular homeostasis.
متن کاملEffects of VEGF(165) and VEGF(121) on vasculogenesis and angiogenesis in cultured embryonic quail hearts.
It has been documented that hypoxia enhances coronary vasculogenesis and angiogenesis in cultured embryonic quail hearts via the upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In this study, we compared the functions of two VEGF splice variants. Ventricles from 6-day-old embryonic quail hearts were cultured on three-dimensional collagen gels. Recombinant human VEGF(121) or VEGF(165)...
متن کاملTCAF1 puts a chill on prostate cancer
TCAF1 puts a chill on prostate cancer The partner of a cold-sensing ion channel prevents prostate cancer cells from migrating, Gkika et al. reveal. The ion channel TRPM8 detects low temperatures, but it occurs in parts of the body that aren’t exposed to the cold, such as the prostate and bladder, suggesting that it has other roles. The protein is overexpressed in prostate tumors and other cance...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 and neuropilin-1 form a receptor complex that is responsible for the differential signaling potency of VEGF(165) and VEGF(121).
The two most abundant secreted isoforms of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF(165) and VEGF(121)) are formed as a result of differential splicing of the VEGF-A gene. VEGF(165) and VEGF(121) share similar affinities at the isolated VEGF receptor (VEGFR)-2 but have been previously demonstrated to have differential ability to activate VEGFR-2-mediated effects on endothelial cells. Herein w...
