    Loss of KLF4 and consequential downregulation of Smad7 exacerbate oncogenic TGF-β signaling in and promote progression of hepatocellular carcinoma

    Hyperactivation of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway is a common feature of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. However, the driver factors leading to enhanced TGF-β activity are n...

    RNF126 promotes homologous recombination via regulation of E2F1-mediated BRCA1 expression

    RNF126 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase. The deletion of RNF126 gene was observed in a wide range of human cancers and is correlated with improved disease-free and overall survival. These data highlight the clinical rel...

    MALT1 is required for EGFR-induced NF-κB activation and contributes to EGFR-driven lung cancer progression

    The transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) has been implicated in having a crucial role in the tumorigenesis of many types of human cancers. Although epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) can di...

    Negative feedback loop between p66Shc and ZEB1 regulates fibrotic EMT response in lung cancer cells

    The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) program is crucial for the epithelial cancer progression and fibrotic diseases. Our previous work has demonstrated that p66Shc, a focal adhesion-associated adaptor p...

    miR-30e reciprocally regulates the differentiation of adipocytes and osteoblasts by directly targeting low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6

    Reciprocal relationship usually exists between osteoblastogenesis and adipogenesis, with factors stimulating one of these processes at the same time inhibiting the other. In the present study, miR-30e was foun...

    Acute hypoxia induces apoptosis of pancreatic β-cell by activation of the unfolded protein response and upregulation of CHOP

    The success of pancreatic β-cells transplantation to treat type 1 diabetes has been hindered by massive β-cell dysfunction and loss of β-cells that follows the procedure. Hypoxia-mediated cell death has been cons...

    p66Shc restrains Ras hyperactivation and suppresses metastatic behavior

    Normal tissue cells survive and proliferate only while anchored to solid substrate. Conversely, transformed cells both survive and proliferate following detachment, having lost attachment context through uncle...

    Mortalin controls centrosome duplication via modulating centrosomal localization of p53

    Abnormal amplification of centrosomes, commonly found in human cancer, is the major cause of mitotic defects and chromosome instability in cancer cells. Like DNA, centrosomes duplicate once in each cell cycle,...

    Increased susceptibility to apoptosis in CD45+ myeloma cells accompanied by the increased expression of VDAC1

    Expression of CD45 is quite variable in human myeloma cells and cell lines, such as U266, and CD45+ U266 proliferates in response to a growth factor, interleukin-6. Here, we show that CD45+ myeloma cell lines wer...
