Soluble CD4 and CD4-mimetic compounds inhibit HIV-1 infection by induction of a short-lived activated state. by Hillel Haim, Zhihai Si, Navid Madani, Liping Wang, Joel R Courter, Amy Princiotto, Aemro Kassa, Marciella DeGrace, Kathleen McGee-Estrada, Megan Mefford, Dana Gabuzda, Amos B Smith, Joseph Sodroski

“…Both sCD4 and JRC-II-191 efficiently activated the envelope glycoproteins to mediate infection of cells lacking CD4, in a manner dependent on coreceptor affinity and density. This activated state, however, was transient and was followed by spontaneous and apparently irreversible changes of conformation and by loss of functional competence. …”

PLCH1 overexpression promotes breast cancer progression and predicts poor prognosis through the ERK1/2-EGR1 axis by Jing Li, Fenge Jiang, Congcong Wang, Ping Sun, Lei Song, Jiannan Liu

“…PLCH1 expression was strongly correlated with the expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast cancer tissues, further linking PLCH1 to poor prognosis and adverse patient outcomes. Functional studies revealed that PLCH1 was highly expressed in breast cancer cell lines, and PLCH1 knockdown significantly inhibited cell proliferation, induced cell cycle arrest, and reduced cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) expression in BT-474 cells. …”
