Glucose-induced gradual phenotypic modulation of cultured human glomerular epithelial cells may be independent of Wilms’ tumor 1 (WT1)BMC Cell Biology - Tập 14 - Trang 1-12 - 2013

Renal podocytes form the main filtration barrier possessing a unique phenotype maintained by proteins including podocalyxin and nephrin, the expression of which is suppressed in pathological conditions. We used an in vitro model of human glomerular epithelial cells (HGEC) to investigate the role of high glucose in dysregulating the podocytic epithelial phenotype and determined the time needed for ...... hiện toàn bộ
Lysosomal trafficking functions of mucolipin-1 in murine macrophagesBMC Cell Biology - Tập 8 - Trang 1-16 - 2007
Eric G Thompson, Lara Schaheen, Hope Dang, Hanna Fares
Mucolipidosis Type IV is currently characterized as a lysosomal storage disorder with defects that include corneal clouding, achlorhydria and psychomotor retardation. MCOLN1, the gene responsible for this disease, encodes the protein mucolipin-1 that belongs to the "Transient Receptor Potential" family of proteins and has been shown to function as a non-selective cation channel whose activity is m...... hiện toàn bộ
cAMP-dependent and cholinergic regulation of the electrogenic intestinal/pancreatic Na+/HCO3- cotransporter pNBC1 in human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cellsBMC Cell Biology - Tập 9 - Trang 1-11 - 2008

The renal (kNBC1) and intestinal (pNBC1) electrogenic Na+/HCO3- cotransporter variants differ in their primary structure, transport direction, and response to secretagogues. Previous studies have suggested that regulatory differences between the two subtypes can be partially explained by unique consensus phosphorylation sites included in the pNBC1, but not the kNBC1 sequence. After having shown ac...... hiện toàn bộ
Roles of CUP-5, the Caenorhabditis elegans orthologue of human TRPML1, in lysosome and gut granule biogenesisBMC Cell Biology - Tập 11 - Trang 1-10 - 2010
Erin M Campbell, Hanna Fares
CUP-5 is a Transient Receptor Potential protein in C. elegans that is the orthologue of mammalian TRPML1. Loss of TRPML1 results in the lysosomal storage disorder Mucolipidosis type IV. Loss of CUP-5 results in embryonic lethality and the accumulation of enlarged yolk granules in developing intestinal cells. The embryonic lethality of cup-5 mutants is rescued by mutations in mrp-4, which is requir...... hiện toàn bộ
Physalis angulata induces in vitro differentiation of murine bone marrow cells into macrophagesBMC Cell Biology - Tập 15 - Trang 1-11 - 2014

The bone marrow is a hematopoietic tissue that, in the presence of cytokines and growth factors, generates all of the circulating blood cells. These cells are important for protecting the organism against pathogens and for establishing an effective immune response. Previous studies have shown immunomodulatory effects of different products isolated from plant extracts. This study aimed to evaluate ...... hiện toàn bộ
Phospholipase Cδ điều chỉnh sự nảy mầm của bào tử Dictyostelium Dịch bởi AI BMC Cell Biology - Tập 2 - Trang 1-7 - 2001
Peter Van Dijken, Peter JM Van Haastert
Nhiều sinh vật nhân chuẩn, bao gồm thực vật và nấm, tạo ra bào tử có khả năng chống chịu với các điều kiện môi trường khắc nghiệt. Sinh vật vi mô Dictyostelium chứa một gen phospholipase C (PLC); việc loại bỏ gen này không ảnh hưởng đến sự phát triển, chuyển động tế bào và biệt hóa. Trong báo cáo này, chúng tôi cho thấy rằng PLC là yếu tố thiết yếu để cảm nhận môi trường của bào tử được kích hoạt ...... hiện toàn bộ
