The expanding small heat-shock protein family, and structure predictions of the conserved “α-crystallin domain”

Build and Broaden 3.0 AND Program Evaluation

[No authors listed]
GSID: J1KVpm3I9kgJ
GJ Caspers, JAM Leunissen, WW De Jong - Journal of molecular evolution, 1995 - Springer

The ever-increasing number of proteins identified as belonging to the family of small heat-shock proteins (shsps) and α-crystallins enables us to reassess the phylogeny of this ubiquitous protein family. While the prokaryotic and fungal representatives are not properly resolved,...

Argon plasma coagulation compared with stent placement in the palliative treatment of inoperable oesophageal cancer.

United European Gastroenterol J. 2017 Feb;5(1):21-31. doi: 10.1177/2050640616650786. Epub 2016 Jun 23.

BACKGROUND: Self-expandable metal stents (SEMSs) are the main palliative modality used in inoperable oesophageal cancer. Other palliative modalities, including argon plasma coagulation (APC), have also been used.OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the relative efficacy of...

Temporal and spatial changes in VEGF, αA- and αB-crystallin expression in a mouse model of oxygen-induced retinopathy.

International journal of clinical and experimental medicine

Shi Y, Su C, Wang JT, Du B, Dong LJ, Liu AH, Li XR.
PMID: 26064225
Int J Clin Exp Med. 2015 Mar 15;8(3):3349-59. eCollection 2015.

OBJECTIVE: Retinal neovascularization is an iconic change in retinopathies. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and α-crystallins have been identified to mediate the pathogenesis of retinopathy. However, the special and temporal changes in their expression associated with retinal neovascularization have...

Auto-cortex of crystalline lens-induced iris neovascularization.

International journal of ophthalmology

Liu L, Li YP, Zhang B, Zhang WX.

Impact of diabetes on alpha-crystallins and other heat shock proteins in the eye.

Journal of ocular biology, diseases, and informatics

Heise EA, Fort PE.
PMID: 23264844
J Ocul Biol Dis Infor. 2011 Jun;4(1):62-9. doi: 10.1007/s12177-011-9073-7. Epub 2011 Dec 23.

Diabetes and its related complications represent a major growing health concern and economic burden worldwide. Ocular manifestations of diabetes include cataractogenesis and retinopathy, the latter being the leading cause of blindness in the working-age population. Despite numerous studies and...

Lanosterol Disrupts Aggregation of Human γD-Crystallin by Binding to the Hydrophobic Dimerization Interface.

Journal of the American Chemical Society

Kang H, Yang Z, Zhou R.
PMID: 29916249
J Am Chem Soc. 2018 Jul 11;140(27):8479-8486. doi: 10.1021/jacs.8b03065. Epub 2018 Jul 02.

Cataracts are a leading cause of vision impairment, which stem from the misfolding and aggregation of crystallins in the eye lens. Despite its prevalence and severity, the detailed mechanism by which misfolded crystallins aggregate into cataracts remains elusive. Recently,...

17β-Estradiol Delivered in Eye Drops: Evidence of Impact on Protein Networks and Associated Biological Processes in the Rat Retina through Quantitative Proteomics.

Pharmaceutics

Prokai L, Zaman K, Nguyen V, Prokai-Tatrai K.
PMID: 32012756
Pharmaceutics. 2020 Jan 27;12(2). doi: 10.3390/pharmaceutics12020101.

To facilitate the development of broad-spectrum retina neuroprotectants that can be delivered through topical dosage forms, this proteomics study focused on analyzing target engagements through the identification of functional protein networks impacted after delivery of 17β-estradiol in eye drops....

Entice With Procedures, Inspire With Primary Care: A Preclerkship Pipeline Course.

PRiMER (Leawood, Kan.)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The growing demand for primary care clinicians in the United States continues to outstrip their dwindling supply. Many allopathic medical schools, including Stanford University School of Medicine, are not adequately meeting this shortage. We sought to...

Nanoceria Prevents Glucose-Induced Protein Glycation in Eye Lens Cells.

Nanomaterials (Basel, Switzerland)

Hanafy BI, Cave GWV, Barnett Y, Pierscionek BK.

Cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) are generally known for their recyclable antioxidative properties making them an appealing biomaterial for protecting against physiological and pathological age-related changes that are caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Cataract is one such pathology that...
