Background: Granulysin (GNLY) is a cytolytic and proinflammatory molecule which also acts as an immune alarmin. The multifunctional nature of this molecule has made it challenging to define its full potential as a biomarker in breast cancer. Aim: To...

De-palmitoylation of tissue factor regulates its activity, phosphorylation and cellular functions (2021)
Journal Article
Ettelaie, C., Featherby, S., Rondon, A. M. R., Greenman, J., Versteeg, H. H., & Maraveyas, A. (2021). De-palmitoylation of tissue factor regulates its activity, phosphorylation and cellular functions. Cancers, 13(15), Article 3837. https://doi.org/10.3390/cancers13153837

In this study, the role of de-palmitoylation of tissue factor (TF) in the decryption of its activity was explored. TF-tGFP constructs were prepared by mutagenesis-substitution at Cys245 to prevent or mimic palmitolyation. Additionally, to reduce TF d...

Factor VIIa regulates the level of cell-surface tissue factor through separate but cooperative mechanisms (2021)
Journal Article
Madkhali, Y., Rondon, A. M., Featherby, S., Maraveyas, A., Greenman, J., & Ettelaie, C. (2021). Factor VIIa regulates the level of cell-surface tissue factor through separate but cooperative mechanisms. Cancers, 13(15), Article 3718. https://doi.org/10.3390/cancers13153718

Procoagulant activity of tissue factor (TF) in response to injury or inflammation is accompanied with cellular signals which determine the fate of cells. However, to prevent excessive signalling, TF is rapidly dissipated through release into microves...
