Klotho Protein,A Biomarker for AKI
Klotho is an anti-aging single-pass membrane protein that is mainly produced in the kidney. The level of soluble klotho decreases with age and the klotho gene is associated with an increased risk of age-related diseases, such as diabetes, skin atrophy, chronic kidney disease, ataxia and cancer. The klotho gene is composed of five exons and encodes a membrane glycoprotein located in the plasma ...
متن کاملLoss of migfilin expression has no overt consequences on murine development and homeostasis.
Migfilin is a LIM-domain-containing protein of the zyxin family of adaptor proteins and is found at cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion sites and in the nucleus. In vitro studies have suggested that migfilin promotes β1 integrin activity, regulates cell spreading and migration and induces cardiomyocyte differentiation. To test directly the function of migfilin in vivo, we generated a migfilin-nu...
متن کاملThe Role of Adiponectin in Prostate Cancer: A Narrative Review
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common type of cancer among men over 60 years old. The aggressiveness and mortality of PCa can be correlated with obesity. Adipose tissue-derived cytokines such as adiponectin may explain the correlation between PCa and obesity. Since the correlation between adiponectin and aggressive PCa is still not fully evaluated, we aimed to investigate the probable role o...
متن کاملTissue-specific opposing functions of the inflammasome adaptor ASC in the regulation of epithelial skin carcinogenesis.
A chronic inflammatory microenvironment favors tumor progression through molecular mechanisms that are still incompletely defined. In inflammation-induced skin cancers, IL-1 receptor- or caspase-1-deficient mice, or mice specifically deficient for the inflammasome adaptor protein ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD) in myeloid cells, had reduced tumor incidence, point...
متن کاملGenetic ablation of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha in epidermis reveals its role in suppression of epithelial tumorigenesis.
CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha) is a basic leucine zipper transcription factor that inhibits cell cycle progression and regulates differentiation in various cell types. C/EBPalpha is inactivated by mutation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is considered a human tumor suppressor in AML. Although C/EBPalpha mutations have not been observed in malignancies other than AML, grea...
