Novel Binding Partners of PBF in Thyroid Tumourigenesis
NOVEL BINDING PARTNERS OF PBF IN THYROID TUMOURIGENESIS By Neil Sharma A thesis presented to the College of Medical and Dental Sciences at the University of Birmingham for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, School of Clinical and Experimental Medicine August 2013 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

The proto-oncogene PBF is over-expressed in thyroid tumours, and the degree of over-expression is directly linked to patient survival. PBF causes transformation in vitro and tumourigenesis in vivo, with PBF-transgenic mice developing large, macro-follicular goitres, effects partly mediated by the internalisation and repression of the membrane-bound transporters NIS and MCT8. NIS repression leads to a reduction in iodide uptake, which may negatively affect the efficacy of radioiodine treatment, and therefore prognosis. Work within this thesis describes the use of tandem mass spectrometry to produce a list of potential binding partners of PBF. This will aid further research into the pathophysiology of PBF, not just in relation to thyroid cancer but also other malignancies. -

Abstract The high mortality rate of gastric cancer (GC) is in part due to the absence of initial disclosure of its biomarkers. The recognition of important genes associated in GC is therefore recommended to advance clinical prognosis, diagnosis and and treatment outcomes. The current investigation used the microarray dataset GSE113255 RNA seq data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to diagnose differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Pathway and gene ontology enrichment analyses were performed, and a proteinprotein interaction network, modules, target genes - miRNA regulatory network and target genes - TF regulatory network were constructed and analyzed. Finally, validation of hub genes was performed. The 1008 DEGs identified consisted of 505 up regulated genes and 503 down regulated genes. -

RESEARCH ARTICLE Structural Dynamics Investigation of Human Family 1 & 2 Cystatin-Cathepsin L1 Interaction: A Comparison of Binding Modes Suman Kumar Nandy, Alpana Seal* Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics, University of Kalyani, Kalyani, West Bengal, India * [email protected] Abstract a11111 Cystatin superfamily is a large group of evolutionarily related proteins involved in numerous physiological activities through their inhibitory activity towards cysteine proteases. Despite sharing the same cystatin fold, and inhibiting cysteine proteases through the same tripartite edge involving highly conserved N-terminal region, L1 and L2 loop; cystatins differ widely in their inhibitory affinity towards C1 family of cysteine proteases and molecular details of these interactions are still elusive. In this study, inhibitory interactions of human family 1 & 2 cystatins with cathepsin L1 are predicted and their stability and viability are verified through OPEN ACCESS protein docking & comparative molecular dynamics. An overall stabilization effect is Citation: Nandy SK, Seal A (2016) Structural Dynamics Investigation of Human Family 1 & 2 observed in all cystatins on complex formation.

The three chromatophores are compared pairwise (Brown vs. Red, Brown vs. Yellow, and Red vs. Yellow) to show how protein abundance differs between brown, red, and yellow chromatophores. For each protein detected in more than one chromatophore, significance is expressed as the negative log of the false discovery rate (- log10(FDR)), where a value greater than 1.301 signifies an FDR of less than 5%, while the magnitude of the differential expression between the two types of chromatophore is shown as the log base two of the fold change (log2((Fold Change)), where a value of 1 or -1 means that the protein is twice as abundant in the indicated chromatophore color as compared to the other. -
Cysteine Cathepsin Proteases: Regulators of Cancer Progression and Therapeutic Response
REVIEWS Cysteine cathepsin proteases: regulators of cancer progression and therapeutic response Oakley C. Olson1,2 and Johanna A. Joyce1,3,4 Abstract | Cysteine cathepsin protease activity is frequently dysregulated in the context of neoplastic transformation. Increased activity and aberrant localization of proteases within the tumour microenvironment have a potent role in driving cancer progression, proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Recent studies have also uncovered functions for cathepsins in the suppression of the response to therapeutic intervention in various malignancies. However, cathepsins can be either tumour promoting or tumour suppressive depending on the context, which emphasizes the importance of rigorous in vivo analyses to ascertain function. Here, we review the basic research and clinical findings that underlie the roles of cathepsins in cancer, and provide a roadmap for the rational integration of cathepsin-targeting agents into clinical treatment.
