Sarcosine degradation pathway is involved in the epigenetics of prostate cells
(Mendel University in Brno, 2017-12-31)
It has been shown that sarcosine suplementation stimulates the proliferation of prostate cells and also their invassiveness. In present study we show that enzymes conected with sarcosine conversion to glycine (sarcosine ...
Apoferritin as an ubiquitous nanocarrier with excellent shelf life
(Dove Media Press, 2017-03-24)
Due to many adverse effects of conventional chemotherapy, novel methods of targeting drugs to cancer cells are being investigated. Nanosize carriers are a suitable platform for this specific delivery. Herein, we evaluated ...
Improving cytocompatibility of CdTe quantum dots by Schiff-base-coordinated lanthanides surface doping
(BioMed Central, 2018-04-19)
Background: Suitable fluorophores are the core of fluorescence imaging. Among the most exciting, yet controversial, labels are quantum dots (QDs) with their unique optical and chemical properties, but also considerable ...
MALDI MSI of MeLiM melanoma: Searching for differences in protein profiles
(PLOS, 2017-12-08)
Background
Treatment of advanced cutaneous melanoma remains challenging, and new data on melanoma biology are required. The most widely accepted criteria for the prognostic evaluation of melanoma are histopathological and ...
Paramagnetic Nanoparticles as a Platform for FRET-Based Sarcosine Picomolar Detection
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-03-09)
Herein, we describe an ultrasensitive specific biosensing system for detection of sarcosine as a potential
biomarker of prostate carcinoma based on Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET). The FRET biosensor
employs ...
Sarcosine is a prostate epigenetic modifier that elicits aberrant methylation patterns through the SAMe-Dnmts axis
(FEBS Press, 2019-05-31)
DNA hypermethylation is one of the most common epigenetic modifications in prostate cancer (PCa). Several studies have delineated sarcosine as a PCa oncometabolite that increases the migration of malignant prostate cells ...
Evaluation of cytotoxicity of biphasic TiO2 nanoparticles with organic surface coatings
(Mendel University in Brno, 2019-01-02)
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) are used in lots of human applications because of
their extraordinary nano scaled properties. Particularly, due to their photoprotective properties, they are
used in topical ...
Investigating the interplay between sarcosine and Ca2+-dependent signaling in prostate cells
(Mendel University in Brno, 2019-01-02)
It has been shown that sarcosine supplementation stimulates proliferation and invassivenes
of prostate cells. Nevertheless, the exact molecular mechanism responsible for this phenomenon is not
known. In the present study ...
hNET as a target for neuroblastoma nanomedicine
(Mendel University in Brno, 2017-12-31)
Chemotherapy often results in various side effects, which can negatively affect health. Neuroblastoma, one of the most common types of childhood cancer, is but one of the examples, where side effects of chemotherapeutic ...
Ruthenium-based core-shell nanoparticles with exceptional in vitro biocompatibility
(Mendel University in Brno, 2017-12-31)
The current study demonstrates design preparation and characterization of biocompatible
hybrid ruthenium core-shell nanoparticles (RuNPs) coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)
and polyoxyethylene stearate (POES). The ...
