Ectodomain Shedding of RAGE and TLR4 as a Negative Feedback Regulation in High-Mobility Group Box 1-Activated Aortic Endothelial Cells
Conclusion: In response to HMGB1 stimulation, HAECs rapidly undergo ectodomain shedding of RAGE and TLR4, and thereby become insensitive to further HMGB1 stimulation. ADAM17, activated through RAGE-p38 MAPK pathway, is implicated in the ectodomain cleavage of the receptors.Cell Physiol Biochem 2018;51:1632 –1644 (Source: Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry)

Long Non-Coding RNA H19 Acts as an Estrogen Receptor Modulator that is Required for Endocrine Therapy Resistance in ER < sup > + < /sup > Breast Cancer Cells
Conclusion: In endocrine therapy resistant breast cancer cells Fulvestrant is ineffective in decreasing ER α levels. Our data suggest that in the ETR cells,H19 expression acts as an ER modulator and that its levels and subsequently ER α levels can be substantially decreased by blocking Notch and c-MET receptor signaling. Consequently, treating ETR cells with these pharmacological inhibitors helps overcome resistance to Fulvestrant and Tamoxifen.Cell Physiol Biochem 2018;51:1518 –1532 (Source: Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry)

Spatial Relationship and Functional Relevance of Three Lipid Domain Populations at the Erythrocyte Surface
Conclusion: Lipid domains could contribute to calcium influx and efflux by controlling the membrane distribution and/or the activity of the mechano-activated ion channel Piezo1 and the calcium pump PMCA. Whether this results from lipid domain biophysical properties, the strength of their anchorage to the underlying cytoskeleton and/or their correspondence with inner plasma membrane leaflet lipids remains to be demonstrated.Cell Physiol Biochem 2018;51:1544 –1565 (Source: Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry)
