overexpression inhibits colorectal cancer cell migration through the regulation of epithelial‑mesenchymal transition.

The advancement of tumor cell metastasis is significantly influenced by epithelial‑to‑mesenchymal transition (EMT), and metastasis is a prominent contributor to the mortality of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC). AT‑rich interactive domain‑containing protein 1A (ARID1A), which acts as a tumor suppressor, frequently exhibits a loss‑of‑function mutation in metastatic CRC tissues. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of ARID1A relating to EMT remain poorly understood.

Mathurameha ameliorates cardiovascular complications in high-fat diet/low-dose streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetic rats: insights from histological and proteomic analysis.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a global health concern with increasing prevalence. Mathurameha, a Thai herbal formula, has shown promising glucose-lowering effects and positive impacts on biochemical profiles in diabetic rats. The present study investigated the protective effects of Mathurameha on cardiovascular complications in high-fat diet/streptozotocin (HFD/STZ)-induced type 2 diabetic rats using histological and proteomic analyses.

SWATH-proteomics reveals Mathurameha, a traditional anti-diabetic herbal formula, attenuates high glucose-induced endothelial dysfunction through the EGF/NO/IL-1β regulatory axis.

Mathurameha is a traditional Thai herbal formula with a clinically proven effect of blood sugar reduction in patients with diabetes mellitus, but its anti-diabetic complication potential is largely unknown. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of Mathurameha and its underlying mechanisms against high glucose-induced endothelial dysfunction in human endothelial EA.hy926 cells.

Proteomic insights into the regulatory function of ARID1A in colon cancer cells.

The AT-rich interacting domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A) is a tumor suppressor gene that has been implicated in several cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC). The present study used a proteomic approach to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of ARID1A in CRC carcinogenesis. Stable ARID1A-overexpressing SW48 colon cancer cells were established using lentivirus transduction and the successful overexpression of ARID1A was confirmed by western blotting.

Knockdown of heat shock protein family D member 1 (HSPD1) in lung cancer cell altered secretome profile and cancer-associated fibroblast induction.

The crosstalk between lung cancer cells and cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) is pivotal in cancer progression. Heat shock protein family D member 1 (HSPD1) is a potential prognostic biomarker associated with the tumor microenvironment in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, the role of HSPD1 in CAF activation remains unclear.

Expression of anoctamin 7 (ANO7) is associated with poor prognosis and mucin 2 (MUC2) in colon adenocarcinoma: a study based on TCGA data.

Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is the predominant type of colorectal cancer. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve the prognosis of COAD patients. Anoctamin 7 (ANO7), an anion channel protein, has been implicated in prostate cancer and other types of cancer.

Trehalose phosphorylase as a novel potential allergen in a case of allergic reaction due to oyster mushroom () ingestion.

To our knowledge, we present the first case report of allergic reaction from oyster mushroom ingestion, which was confirmed by an oral food challenge test. Trehalose phosphorylase was identified as a novel potential allergen by IgE immunoblotting and mass spectrometry.

Potential association of HSPD1 with dysregulations in ribosome biogenesis and immune cell infiltration in lung adenocarcinoma: An integrated bioinformatic approach.

Background: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a major histological subtype of lung cancer with a high mortality rate worldwide. Heat shock protein family D member 1 (HSPD1, also known as HSP60) is reported to be increased in tumor tissues of lung cancer patients compared with healthy control tissues.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the roles of HSPD1 in prognosis, carcinogenesis, and immune infiltration in LUAD using an integrative bioinformatic analysis.

Bioinformatic analyses reveal the prognostic significance and potential role of ankyrin 3 (ANK3) in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma.

Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) is one of the most aggressive cancer type of the urinary system. Metastatic KIRC patients have poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. Ankyrin 3 (ANK3) is a scaffold protein that plays important roles in maintaining physiological function of the kidney and its alteration is implicated in many cancers.

Assembly principles of the human R2TP chaperone complex reveal the presence of R2T and R2P complexes.

R2TP is a highly conserved chaperone complex formed by two AAA+ ATPases, RUVBL1 and RUVBL2, that associate with PIH1D1 and RPAP3 proteins. R2TP acts in promoting macromolecular complex formation. Here, we establish the principles of R2TP assembly.

High glucose induces phosphorylation and oxidation of mitochondrial proteins in renal tubular cells: A proteomics approach.

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been thought to play roles in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, precise mechanisms underlying mitochondrial dysfunction in DN remained unclear. Herein, mitochondria were isolated from renal tubular cells after exposure to normal glucose (5.

Highly effective methods for expression/purification of recombinant human HSP90 and its four distinct (N-LR-M-C) domains.

Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) plays essential roles in the normal physiology and comprises four distinct domains, including NH-terminal (N), charged linker region (LR), middle (M), and COOH-terminal (C) domains, all of which regulate HSP90 biological functions. We reported herein detailed protocols to produce recombinant full-length (FL) and all these four domains of human HSP90 from Escherichia coli. cDNAs encoding FL, N, LR, M and C domains of human HSP90α were amplified and cloned into pET-32b(+) expression vector.

Targeted functional investigations guided by integrative proteome network analysis revealed significant perturbations of renal tubular cell functions induced by high glucose.

Recently, several studies employed various proteomic approaches to define diabetes-induced changes in renal proteins. However, functional significance of those datasets in diabetic nephropathy remained unclear. We thus performed integrative proteome network analysis of such datasets followed by various targeted functional studies in distal renal tubular cells treated with high glucose (HG) (25 mM) compared to normal glucose (NG) (5.

Response of renal tubular cells to differential types and doses of calcium oxalate crystals: Integrative proteome network analysis and functional investigations.

We have previously identified changes in the cellular proteome of renal tubular cells induced by low-dose (100 μg/mL) and high-dose (1000 μg/mL) calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) and dihydrate (COD) crystals. However, the functional significance of such expression data remained unclear. In this study, we performed comparative analyses and functional investigations of four proteomic datasets to define potential mechanisms by which renal tubular cells responded to differential crystal types and doses.

Role of HSP60 (HSPD1) in diabetes-induced renal tubular dysfunction: regulation of intracellular protein aggregation, ATP production, and oxidative stress.

Because underlying mechanisms of diabetic nephropathy/tubulopathy remained poorly understood, we aimed to define a key protein involving in hyperglycemia-induced renal tubular dysfunction. All altered renal proteins identified from previous large-scale proteome studies were subjected to global protein network analysis, which revealed heat shock protein 60 (HSP60, also known as HSPD1) as the central node of protein-protein interactions. Functional validation was performed using small interfering RNA (siRNA) to knock down HSP60 (siHSP60).
