The Scd6/Lsm14 protein xRAPB has properties different from RAP55 in selecting mRNA for early translation or intracellular distribution in Xenopus oocytes (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Elsevier B.V. Oocytes accumulate mRNAs in the form of maternal ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles, the protein components of which determine the location and stability of individual mRNAs prior to translation. Scd6/Lsm14 proteins, typified by R...

The evolutionarily conserved multifunctional glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins play key roles in development and stress adaptation (2015)
Journal Article

© 2014 Scandinavian Plant Physiology Society. The class IV glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins are a distinct subgroup within the heterogenous superfamily of glycine-rich proteins (GRPs). They are distinguished by the presence of an RNA-binding domain...

Serine-arginine protein kinase 1 (SRPK1) inhibition as a potential novel targeted therapeutic strategy in prostate cancer (2014)
Journal Article

© 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited. All rights reserved. Angiogenesis is required for tumour growth and is induced principally by vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). VEGF-A pre-mRNA is alternatively spliced at the terminal exon to produce...

Alternative splicing of TIA-1 in human colon cancer regulates VEGF isoform expression, angiogenesis, tumour growth and bevacizumab resistance (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 The Authors. The angiogenic capability of colorectal carcinomas (CRC), and their susceptibility to anti-angiogenic therapy, is determined by expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) isoforms. The intracellular protein T-cell In... Read More about Alternative splicing of TIA-1 in human colon cancer regulates VEGF isoform expression, angiogenesis, tumour growth and bevacizumab resistance.

Quantitative analysis of ERG expression and its splice isoforms in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded prostate cancer samples: Association with seminal vesicle invasion and biochemical recurrence (2014)
Journal Article

© American Society for Clinical Pathology. Objectives: The proto-oncogene ETS-related gene (ERG) is consistently overexpressed in prostate cancer. Alternatively spliced isoforms of ERG have variable biological activities; inclusion of exon 11 (72 bas...

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate promotes apoptosis and expression of the caspase 9a splice variant in PC3 prostate cancer cells (2013)
Journal Article

Growing evidence suggests that the flavonoid epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), notably abundant in green tea, has health-promoting properties. We examined the effect of EGCG on cell survival and apoptosis in the prostate cancer cell line PC3. Cell s...

Conjugated linoleate reduces prostate cancer viability whereas the effects of oleate and stearate are cell line-dependent (2013)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND:

In this study, responses to fatty acid treatments in commonly used prostate cancer cell culture models and variability of gene expression between them were determined.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

PC3, DU145, LNCaP, VCaP and PNT2 cells... Read More about Conjugated linoleate reduces prostate cancer viability whereas the effects of oleate and stearate are cell line-dependent.
