- Cell reports
- 1 November 2012
Maintenance of normal endothelial function is critical to various aspects of blood vessel function, but its regulation is poorly understood. In this study, we show that disruption of baseline… Expand
Downstream of Mutant KRAS, the Transcription Regulator YAP Is Essential for Neoplastic Progression to Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

- 6 May 2014
Without the transcription regulator YAP, KRAS-mutant pancreatic neoplasia cannot progress into invasive cancer. Targeting YAP to Promote the Antitumor Response Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is… Expand
Application and interpretation of current autophagy inhibitors and activators
- Y. Yang, Li-Fang Hu, +5 authors C. Liu
- Biology, Medicine
- Acta Pharmacologica Sinica
- 1 May 2013
Autophagy is the major intracellular degradation system, by which cytoplasmic materials are delivered to and degraded in the lysosome. As a quality control mechanism for cytoplasmic proteins and… Expand
Montreal Cognitive Assessment in Detecting Cognitive Impairment in Chinese Elderly Individuals: A Population-Based Study
- J. Lu, D. Li, +6 authors J. Jia
- Psychology, Medicine
- Journal of geriatric psychiatry and neurology
- 1 December 2011
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) has been proved brief and sensitive to screen for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early dementia in some developed countries or areas. However, little… Expand
Inducible FGFR-1 activation leads to irreversible prostate adenocarcinoma and an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.
- V. D. Acevedo, R. Gangula, +7 authors D. Spencer
- Biology, Medicine
- Cancer cell
- 6 December 2007
Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor-1 (FGFR1) is commonly overexpressed in advanced prostate cancer (PCa). To investigate causality, we utilized an inducible FGFR1 (iFGFR1) prostate mouse model.… Expand
Bmp signaling regulates myocardial differentiation from cardiac progenitors through a MicroRNA-mediated mechanism.
- J. Wang, Stephanie B. Greene, +7 authors J. Martin
- Biology, Medicine
- Developmental cell
- 14 December 2010
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression posttranscriptionally. We investigated the hypothesis that bone morphogenetic protein (Bmp) signaling regulates miRNAs in… Expand
Differential Specificity of Endocrine FGF19 and FGF21 to FGFR1 and FGFR4 in Complex with KLB
- Chaofeng Yang, C. Jin, X. Li, F. Wang, W. Mckeehan, Yongde Luo
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 19 March 2012
Background Recent studies suggest that betaKlotho (KLB) and endocrine FGF19 and FGF21 redirect FGFR signaling to regulation of metabolic homeostasis and suppression of obesity and diabetes. However,… Expand
MicroRNA‐224 inhibits progression of human prostate cancer by downregulating TRIB1
- Zhuo-yuan Lin, Ya-qiang Huang, +12 authors C. Wu
- Medicine
- International journal of cancer
- 1 August 2014
Our previous microarray data showed that microRNA‐224 (miR‐224) was downregulated in human prostate cancer (PCa) tissues compared with adjacent benign tissues. However, the underlying mechanisms by… Expand
Plasma levels of microRNA-24, microRNA-320a, and microRNA-423-5p are potential biomarkers for colorectal carcinoma
- Z. Fang, J. Tang, +12 authors Z. Zhang
- Medicine
- Journal of experimental & clinical cancer…
- 22 August 2015
BackgroundMicroRNAs are stable and easy to detect in plasma. The plasma levels of microRNAs are often changed in disease conditions, including cancer. This makes circulating microRNAs a novel class… Expand
