Humans possess 3 fully characterized kallikrein-like genes. The gene expressed in kidney, pancreas and salivary gland (KLK), and the gene encoding prostate-specific antigen (APS) have been localized to chromosome 19q13.2-qter. The present study describes the localization of the remaining gene, hGK-1, which has highest homology to and a similar tissue specificity of expression as the APS gene. Using a [3H]-labeled probe derived from a hGK-1 genomic clone, we demonstrated hybridization confined to the q13.3 and q13.4 bands of chromosome 19 and suggest that kallikrein genes may possibly be located near the border of these two bands.

Inhibition of Retinal Neovascularization by BEZ235: Targeting the Akt/4EBP1/Cyclin D1 Pathway in Endothelial Cells.

Institute of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine, Jinan University, Guangzhou, China.
Purpose: To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of BEZ235, a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, in suppressing pathological neovascularization in an oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mouse model and explore the role of cyclin D1 in endothelial cell cycle regulation.
Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed to analyze gene expression and cell-cycle alterations in retinal endothelial cells under normoxic and OIR conditions. The effects of BEZ235 on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs) were evaluated by assessing cell viability, cell-cycle progression, proliferation, migration, and tube formation.
Proteomic Analyses in COVID-19-Associated Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis.

Context: COVID-19 has been associated with features of a cytokine storm syndrome with some patients sharing features with the hyperinflammatory disorder, secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH).
Hypothesis: We hypothesized that proteins associated with sHLH from other causes will be associated with COVID-sHLH and that subjects with fatal COVID-sHLH would have defects in immune-related pathways.
Methods And Models: We identified two cohorts of adult patients presenting with COVID-19 at two tertiary care hospitals in Seattle, Washington in 2020 and 2021.

Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most prevalent gynecological malignancy, characterized by high mortality rates due to its late-stage diagnosis and frequent recurrence. The current standard of care for ovarian cancer is a combination of debulking surgery followed by the conventional mode of chemotherapy. Despite significant advances in therapeutic modalities, the overall survival rate of EOC continues to be poor, mainly because low concentrations of the chemotherapeutics reach the peritoneum, which is the primary site of ovarian cancer, leading to disease relapse.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the second most frequent gynecological malignancy and the sixth most common women's cancer worldwide. EC incidence rate is increasing rapidly. Apart from the classical, we should consider angiogenesis and hypoxia-related genes as a reason for EC manifestation and progression.
