1. A study on the E3 ligase TRIM21/Ro52
Abstract : Patients with the systemic autoimmune diseases Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), often have antibodies against the intracellular protein TRIM21/Ro52. Although the presence of anti-TRIM21/Ro52 autoantibodies is used as a diagnostic tool, the biological function of TRIM21/Ro52 is still unknown. READ MORE

2. Mechanisms of modulation of PDGFRβ signaling
Abstract : Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF) constitute a family of five functional dimers that bind to two structurally related tyrosine kinase receptors i.e. PDGF receptor α and β (PDGFRα and PDGFRβ, respectively), controlling cell growth, proliferation, and migration in cells of mesenchymal origin.

3. The TRIM21/Ro52 E3 ligase and its antibodies in autoimmune disease
Abstract : Patients with the systemic autoimmune diseases systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) often have autoantibodies against Ro/SSA (composed of the TRIM21/Ro52 and Ro60 antigens) and La/SSB. The biological function of the TRIM21/Ro52 protein itself has remained unknown until its recent description as a tripartite-motif (TRIM) family member and an E3 ligase involved in ubiquitination.

4. Regulation of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor expression and signaling
Abstract : Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R), a member of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase family is a broadly expressed transmembrane receptor that plays a key role in malignant cell growth. IGF-1R transmits information provided by extracellular stimuli into intracellular signaling pathways resulting in the subsequent regulation of various effector systems. READ MORE

5. Molecular mechanisms for activation of non-canonical TGFβ pathways and their importance during prostate cancer progression
Abstract : Prostate cancer is the most common invasive cancer diagnosed in men and a major and growing health problem in Western countries. Deregulation of different pathways has been implicated in progression of prostate cancer, namely nuclear factor kappa enhancer binding protein (NF-κB), transforming growth factor β (TGFβ), phosphoinositide 3ʹ-kinase/AKT (PI3K/AKT) and Src kinase pathways.
