High-Affinity Nucleic-Acid-Based Receptors for Steroids

Artificial receptors for hydrophobic molecules usually have moderate affinities and limited selectivities. We describe three new classes of high affinity hydrophobic receptors for nonaromatic steroids based on deoxyribonucleotides, obtained through five hi ...

Intestinal NCoR1, a regulator of epithelial cell maturation, controls neonatal hyperbilirubinemia

Johan Auwerx

Severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (SNH) and the onset of bilirubin encephalopathy and kernicterus result in part from delayed expression of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) and the inability to metabolize bilirubin. Although there is a good unders ...

A Preclinical Model for ERα-Positive Breast Cancer Points to the Epithelial Microenvironment as Determinant of Luminal Phenotype and Hormone Response

Cathrin Brisken, Georgios Sflomos, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Laura Battista, Maryse Fiche, Valentina Scabia, Valérian Charles Robert Dormoy

Seventy-five percent of breast cancers are estrogen receptor α positive (ER(+)). Research on these tumors is hampered by lack of adequate in vivo models; cell line xenografts require non-physiological hormone supplements, and patient-derived xenografts (PD ...

Single-molecule microscopy to study plasma membrane receptor dynamics

Luc Veya

Cell surface receptors allowthe cell to sense and respond to external signals. Receptor malfunctions are associated with many diseases. The diffusional behavior of receptors is of particular interest to understand how the cell modulates receptor function i ...

Analysis of Mammary Gland Phenotypes by Transplantation of the Genetically Marked Mammary Epithelium

Cathrin Brisken, Duje Buric

The mammary gland is the only organ to undergo most of its development after birth and therefore particularly attractive for studying developmental processes. In the mouse, powerful tissue recombination techniques are available that can be elegantly combin ...

Isoform switching of steroid receptor co-activator-1 attenuates glucocorticoid-induced anxiogenic amygdala CRH expression

Maladaptive glucocorticoid effects contribute to stress-related psychopathology. The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) that mediates many of these effects uses multiple signaling pathways. We have tested the hypothesis that manipulation of downstream factors (' ...

Transformation of Contaminant Candidate List (CCL3) compounds during ozonation and advanced oxidation processes in drinking water: Assessment of biological effects

Urs von Gunten, Kristin Schirmer, Silvio Canonica

The removal of emerging contaminants during water treatment is a current issue and various technologies are being explored. These include UV- and ozone-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). In this study, AOPs were explored for their degradation capab ...

Concentration-dependent and surface-assisted self-assembly properties of a bioactive estrogen receptor alpha-derived peptide

Giovanni Dietler, Francesco Simone Ruggeri

We have synthesized a 17-mer peptide (ER17p) that is issued from the hinge region of the estrogen receptor and which activates the proliferation of breast carcinoma cells in steroid-deprived conditions. In the present paper, we show that at a concentration ...
