Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 7)
- analysis of the annexin II receptor on human marrow stromal cells (PMID:16895901)
- annexin II and its receptor axis play a central role in prostate cancer metastasis, and prostate cancer utilizes the hematopoietic stem cell homing mechanisms to gain access to the niche. (PMID:18636554)
- Results show that AXII and AXIIR play important roles in multiple myeloma (MM) and that targeting the AXII/AXIIR axis may be a novel therapeutic approach for MM. (PMID:22223826)
- AXIIR acts as a novel inducer of apoptosis in human cells, partially through activating Caspase-8. (PMID:23640736)
- these subsequent effects might be via suppressing the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 and matrix metalloproteinase 9. … AXIIR participates in angiogenesis, and may be a potential therapeutic target for angiogenesis related diseases (PMID:25633185)
- Data highlighted the crucial role of AXIIR in reducing Mum2C cell viability through inducing apoptosis, while autophagy played a protective role in this process. (PMID:27183438)
- Overexpression of AX2R significantly inhibited cell proliferation, migration and tube formation in both types of endothelial cells and increased the expression of KLF2, mediating VEGF and VEGFR2. (PMID:29694949)
