Journal ArticleDOI

Netrin-1 acts as a survival factor for aggressive neuroblastoma

TL;DR: It is proposed that interference with the netrin-1 autocrine loop in malignant neuroblasts could represent an alternative therapeutic strategy, as disruption of this loop triggers in vitro NB cell death and inhibits NB metastasis in avian and mouse models.
Journal ArticleDOI

The serum‐induced phosphorylation of mammalian hsp27 correlates with changes in its intracellular localization and levels of oligomerization

TL;DR: The oligomeric small heat-shock protein hsp27, also denoted hsp28, is constitutively expressed in several mammalian cells and displays a phosphorylation status that is related to cellular growth and differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The dependence receptor hypothesis.

TL;DR: The current knowledge concerning dependence receptors is reviewed, including the shared mechanisms for cell death induction and their potential relevance in nervous system development and regulation of tumorigenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase is a dependence receptor whose proapoptotic functions are activated by caspase cleavage.

TL;DR: It is shown that Jurkat cells overexpressing the wild-type ALK receptor are more sensitive to doxorubicin-induced apoptosis than parental cells, and the ALK protein is cleaved during apoptosis in a caspase-dependent manner, placing it in the growing family of dependence receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha induces changes in the phosphorylation, cellular localization, and oligomerization of human hsp27, a stress protein that confers cellular resistance to this cytokine.

TL;DR: It is reported that the TNF‐α‐mediated hsp27 phosphorylation is a long‐lasting phenomenon that correlates with the cytostatic effect of this cytokine and may be related to the protective activity of this protein against the deleterious effects induced by T NF‐α.
