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
Xanthurenic acid translocates proapoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins into mitochondria and impairs mitochondrial functionBMC Cell Biology - Tập 5 - Trang 1-7 - 2004
Halina Z Malina, Otto M Hess
Xanthurenic acid is an endogenous molecule produced by tryptophan degradation, produced in the cytoplasm and mitochondria. Its accumulation can be observed in aging-related diseases, e.g. senile cataract and infectious disease. We previously reported that xanthurenic acid provokes apoptosis, and now present a study of the response of mitochondria to xanthurenic acid. Xanthurenic acid at 10 or 20 μ...... 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
