September 2022 GASP1 enhances malignant phenotypes of breast cancer cells and decreases their response However, its biological function and underlying molecular mechanism in breast cancer have not been clearly Here, we demonstrated that GASP1 was highly expressed in breast cancers, and patients harboring altered Functional studies showed that GASP1 knockout significantly suppressed malignant properties of breast cancer Collectively, this study demonstrates that GASP1 enhances malignant behaviors of breast cancer cells

regulating proliferation, inflammation, adhesion, migration, insulin release, muscle relaxation, and cancer Several recent studies have demonstrated that TGR5 exerts inconsistent effects in different cancer cells

involved in a wide array of physiological and disease functions, yet knowledge of their role in colon cancer reveal that PAR-induced post-transcriptional regulation of β-catenin is centrally involved in colon cancer

targets for drug discovery, however, their role in oncology is underappreciated and GPCR-based anti-cancer Depletion of GPR108 dramatically inhibited the survival of various cancers. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated that GA was dependent on GPR108 to exert anti-cancer Overall, our findings supported GPR108 as a promising therapeutic target of cancer, and provided a small molecule inhibitor GA directly and selectively targeting GPR108 for cancer therapy."

August 2022 "Chemokines, a subgroup of cytokines along with their receptors, are involved in various biologic processes and regulation of a wide range of immune responses in different physiologic and pathologic states such as tissue repair, infection, and inflammation. C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), has one identified natural ligand termed stromal-derived factor-1(SDF-1 or CXCL12). Evidence demonstrated that the ligation of SDF-1 to CXCR4 initiates several intracellular signaling pathways, regulating cell proliferation, survival, chemotaxis, migration, angiogenesis, adhesion, as well as bone marrow (BM)-resident cells homing and mobilization. Additionally, CXCR4 is expressed by tumor cells in blood malignancies and solid tumors." Read more at the source #DrGPCR #GPCR #IndustryNews

September 2022 Fentanyl activates ovarian cancer and alleviates chemotherapy-induced toxicity via opioid receptor-dependent activation of EGFR "Background Fentanyl is an opioid analgesic and is widely used in ovarian cancer Although increasing evidence has suggested the direct role of fentanyl on cancer, little is known on the effect of fentanyl on ovarian cancer cells. Methods Proliferation, migration and apoptosis assays were performed in ovarian cancer cells after fentanyl
