Journal ArticleDOI
TGF-β receptors: In and beyond TGF-β signaling.
TL;DR: Focusing on the receptors in events in and beyond TGF-β signaling, this work reviews the membrane trafficking of TGFBRs, the kinase activity of T GFBR1 and 2, the direct interactions between TGF BR2 and other receptors, and the novel roles of TDFBR3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms and Approaches for Overcoming Enzalutamide Resistance in Prostate Cancer
TL;DR: The major mechanisms of acquired enzalutamide resistance are focused on, including genetic mutations and splice variants of the AR, signaling pathways that bypass androgen signaling, intratumoral androgen biosynthesis by prostate tumor cells, lineage plasticity, and contributions from the tumor microenvironment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of TGF-β signaling in osteoblasts increases basic-FGF and promotes prostate cancer bone metastasis.
Xiangqi Meng,Alexandra Vander Ark,Paul G. Daft,Erica Woodford,Jie Wang,Zachary Madaj,Xiaohong Li +6 more
TL;DR: Mechanistic studies found that bFGF was upregulated in osteoblasts from PC3-injected tibiae of Tgfbr2Col1CreERT KO mice and correlated with increased tumor cell proliferation, angiogenesis, amounts of cancer-associated fibroblasts and osteoclasts, suggesting bF GF is a promising target inhibiting bone metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of Myeloid-Specific TGF-β Signaling Decreases CTHRC1 to Downregulate bFGF and the Development of H1993-Induced Osteolytic Bone Lesions.
Sourik S. Ganguly,Paul G. Daft,Jingchen Cao,Xiangqi Meng,Zhendong A. Zhong,Alexandra Vander Ark,Austin Meadows,Zach Madaj,Bart O. Williams,Xiaohong Li +9 more
TL;DR: Together, the data show that myeloid-specific TGF-β signaling promoted osteolytic bone lesion development and bFGF expression in osteoblasts; that osteoclast-secreted CTHRC1 stimulated bF GF expression in bonesoblasts in a paracrine manner; and that C THRC1 and BFGF had different cell-specific functions that contributed to bone lesions development.
Journal ArticleDOI
PGC-1β maintains mitochondrial metabolism and restrains inflammatory gene expression
Hannah Guak,Ryan D. Sheldon,Ian Beddows,Alexandra Vander Ark,Hui Shen,Russell G. Jones,Julie St-Pierre,Eric H. Ma,Connie M. Krawczyk +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma co-activator 1β (PGC-1β), a transcriptional coactivator and known regulator of mitochondrial metabolism, was examined.
