The lysosomal endoprotease legumain (asparaginyl endoprotease) has been proposed as a putative biomarker in prostate tumours, in which the enzyme is markedly overexpressed. Overexpression, coupled with highly selective specificity for cleavage of sub...

Azathioprine Has a Deleterious Effect on the Bone Health of Mice with DSS-Induced Inflammatory Bowel Disease (2019)
Journal Article
Morgan, S., Hooper, K. M., Milne, E. M., Farquharson, C., Stevens, C., & Staines, K. A. (2019). Azathioprine Has a Deleterious Effect on the Bone Health of Mice with DSS-Induced Inflammatory Bowel Disease. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 20(23), Article 6085. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms20236085

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) often present poor bone health and are 40% more at risk of bone fracture. Studies have implicated autophagy in IBD pathology and drugs used to treat IBD stimulate autophagy in varying degrees, however, t...

Regulation of the expression of DAPK1 by SUMO pathway. (2019)
Journal Article
Wang, Q., Zhang, X., Chen, L., Weng, S., Xia, Y., Ye, Y., …Lin, Y. (2019). Regulation of the expression of DAPK1 by SUMO pathway. Biomolecules, 9(4), 151. https://doi.org/10.3390/biom9040151

Death Associated Protein Kinase 1 (DAPK1) is an important signaling kinase mediating the biological eect of multiple natural biomolecules such as IFN-, TNF-, curcumin, etc. DAPK1 is degraded through both ubiquitin-proteasomal and lysosomal degradat...

The inflammatory bowel disease drug azathioprine induces autophagy via mTORC1 and the unfolded protein response sensor PERK (2019)
Journal Article
Hooper, K. M., Casanova, V., Kemp, S., Staines, K. A., Satsangi, J., Barlow, P. G., Henderson, P., & Stevens, C. (2019). The inflammatory bowel disease drug azathioprine induces autophagy via mTORC1 and the unfolded protein response sensor PERK. Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, 25(9), 1481-1496. https://doi.org/10.1093/ibd/izz039

Background Genetic studies have strongly linked autophagy to Crohn's disease (CD) and stimulating autophagy in CD patients may be therapeutically beneficial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of current inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)...

The type III intermediate filament vimentin regulates organelle distribution and modulates autophagy (2019)
Journal Article
Biskou, O., Casanova, V., Hooper, K., Kemp, S., Wright, G. P., Satsangi, J., Barlow, P., & Stevens, C. (2019). The type III intermediate filament vimentin regulates organelle distribution and modulates autophagy. PLOS ONE, 14(1), Article e0209665. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0209665

The cytoskeletal protein vimentin plays a key role in positioning of organelles within the cytosol and has been linked to the regulation of numerous cellular processes including autophagy, however, how vimentin regulates autophagy remains relatively...
