1. the present study suggests that dermcidin is a novel binding protein of lncRNA STCAT3, which serves an important role in the progress and clinical outcome of gastric cancer
2. The results of this study suggest that these biomarker DCD can serve as a potential non-invasive early diagnosis platform reflecting PiB-PET imaging for Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's Disease.
3. this study shows that PIF regulates systemic immunity and targets protective regulatory and cytoskeleton proteins
4. This is the first report of the presence of DCD in nasal mucosa and demonstration of DCD in clinical samples of human nasal secretions at clinically relevant concentrations, which may represent a novel arm of sinonasal airway innate defense.
5. Identification of dermcidin in human sebaceous gland cells supports the concept that sebocytes play an important role in the innate immunity of the skin through the expression of antimicrobial peptides and specific lipids.
6. Reduced DCD concentration in sweat in patients with inflammatory acne may permit proliferation of P. acnes in pilosebaceous units, resulting in progression of inflammatory acne.
7. These findings imply that DCD promotes breast tumorigenesis via modulation of ERBB signaling pathways
8. Dermcidin binds platelets and may inhibit the therapeutic action of aspirin following acute myocardial infarction.
9. Data indicate that Y-P30/dermcidin expressed in placentas of first trimester pregnancies.
10. Increased Dermcidin was also detected with immunoblotting.
11. Crystal structure and functional mechanism of a human antimicrobial membrane channel
12. major binding partners of LEKTI were found to be the antimicrobial peptide dermcidin and the serine protease cathepsin G and no kallikreins.
13. Structure-activity analysis of the dermcidin-derived peptide DCD-1L, an anionic antimicrobial peptide present in human sweat.
14. revealed that Nck1 SH2 domain binds to the phosphotyrosine residue at position 20 (Y20) of the DCD
15. dermcidin was a novel platelet aggregating agent, and potentiated the ADP induced thrombosis in the animal model as well as acutely inhibited glucose induced insulin synthesis.
16. There was a significant correlation between weight loss and survival in the PIF-positive non-small-cell lung cancer patients.
17. Data show that dermcidin adopts a flexible amphipathic alpha-helical structure with a helix-hinge-helix motif, which is a common molecular fold among antimicrobial peptides.
18. identified as antibiotic peptide secreted by sweat glands
19. Our results confirmed previous findings indicating that dermcidin-1L could have promising therapeutic potentials and shed new light on the structure-function relationship of dermcidin-1L.
20. Reduced expression of dermcidin in sweat of patients with atopic dermatitis may contribute to the high susceptibility of these patients to skin infections and altered skin colonization with Staphylococcus aureus.
21. NF-kappaB and STAT3 are activated by proteolysis inducing factor in human Kupffer cells and monocytes
22. Functional analysis indicated that proteolytic processing of DCD-1L by Cathepsin D in human sweat modulates the innate immune defense of human skin.
23. Dermcidin may function as an oncogene in hepatic as well as breast cells; Glycosylation is not required, but the importance of asparagine residues suggests a role for the proteolysis-inducing factor core peptide domain.
24. This work suggests that DCD might participate in the regulation of placental function by means of modulating the proteolytic cascades on the trophoblastic cell surface.
25. Dermcidin is a proliferation and survival factor in prostate cancer cells subjected to stressors found in the prostate cancer microenvironment.
26. These data suggest that the disorder and order transition may be relevant for some biological functions of PIF/DCD.
27. There is a growing body of evidence illustrating dermcidin as an oncogene and its Y-P30 subunite as a survival factor (Review)
28. Expression of dermcidin in human primary tumours appears highly variable and is not induced substantially by hypoxia/oxidative stress in cell line model systems
29. pleiotrophin (PTN) and syndecan-2 and -3 as direct binding partners of Y-P30.
30. IRAK-4, which is essential for virtually all TLR signalling, was suppressed, whereas the precursor for the antibiotic peptide Dermcidin was up-regulated in HIV-infected cells.
