Revisiting STAT3 signalling in cancer: new and unexpected biological functions

TL;DR: Well known for its role in tumour cell proliferation, survival, invasion and immunosuppression, JAK–STAT3 signalling also promotes cancer through inflammation, obesity, stem cells and the pre-metastatic niche.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytokine storm and sepsis disease pathogenesis

TL;DR: The pathophysiology of the cytokine storm is summarized; the type, effects, and kinetics of cytokine production are described; and new promising therapeutic strategies focusing on the endothelium, as a source and a target of cytokines are described.

The emerging mutational landscape of G proteins and G-protein-coupled receptors in cancer

TL;DR: Deep sequencing studies indicate that G proteins, GPCRs and their linked signalling circuitry represent novel therapeutic targets for cancer prevention and treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diabetes, oxidative stress and therapeutic strategies

TL;DR: It appears important to develop new compounds that target key vascular ROS producing enzymes and mimic endogenous antioxidants, which might prove clinically relevant in preventing the development and/or retarding the progression of diabetes associated with vascular diseases.

Pathogenesis of osteoporosis: concepts, conflicts, and prospects

TL;DR: This review examines the fundamental pathogenetic mechanisms underlying osteoporosis, which include: (a) failure to achieve a skeleton of optimal strength during growth and development; (b) excessive bone resorption resulting in loss of bone mass and disruption of architecture; and (c) Failure to replace lost bone due to defects in bone formation.

Suppression of ceramide-mediated programmed cell death by sphingosine-1-phosphate.

TL;DR: It is reported that sphingosine-1-phosphate prevents the appearance of the key features of apoptosis, namely intranucleosomal DNA fragmentation and morphological changes, which result from increased concentrations of ceramide.

Fingolimod (FTY720): discovery and development of an oral drug to treat multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: The discovery and development of fingolimod is described, which was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in September 2010 as a first-line treatment for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, thereby becoming the first oral disease-modifying therapy to be approved for multiple sclerosis in the United States.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate as second messenger in cell proliferation induced by PDGF and FCS mitogens.

TL;DR: It is reported that activation of sphingosine kinase and the formation of sphedosine-1-phosphate are important in the signal transduction pathways activated by the potent mitogens platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and fetal calf serum (FCS).
