Cytokines in exertion-induced skeletal muscle injuryMolecular and Cellular Biochemistry - Tập 179 - Trang 159-168 - 1998
Joseph G. Cannon, Barbara A. St. Pierre
Cytokines are a diverse family of intercellular signaling proteins that influence the movement, proliferation, differentiation, metabolism and membrane processes of target cells. Synthesis and release of cytokines from leukocytes in response to microbial stimuli are well known. This review, however, will present evidence that non-infectious stimuli can induce cytokine secretion from leukocytes and...... hiện toàn bộ
A novel loss-of-function mutation in TP53 in an endometrial cancer cell line and uterine papillary serous carcinoma modelMolecular and Cellular Biochemistry - Tập 297 - Trang 179-187 - 2006
Zhihe Liu, Guanghua Wan, Christopher Heaphy, Marco Bisoffi, Jeffrey K. Griffith, Chien-an A. Hu
The etiology of carcinoma of the uterine endometrium (ECa) is poorly understood. However, loss of apoptosis is one of the major factors that allow cancer cells to survive and progress. Hec50co, a poorly differentiated human ECa cell line, is widely used in the investigation of ECa. Previously, Hec50co xenograft tumor model in nude mice developed an advanced phenotype, similar to that of uterine pa...... hiện toàn bộ
Peroxidase-promoted oxidation and peroxidation of the serotonergic neurotoxin 5,7-dihydroxytryptamineMolecular and Cellular Biochemistry - Tập 112 - Trang 35-44 - 1992
Diana Metodiewa, H. Brian
Spectral data provide the first evidence that lactoperoxidase, a model enzyme for most mammalian peroxidases, catalyzed the one-electron oxidation and/or peroxidation of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine. This process correlates with the production of superoxide radicals as is evident from the observed inhibitory effect of superoxide dismutase on product formation. 5,7-Dihydroxytryptamine is a classical per...... hiện toàn bộ
Correction of the biochemical defect in porphobilinogen deaminase deficient cells by non-viral gene deliveryMolecular and Cellular Biochemistry - Tập 250 - Trang 65-71 - 2003
Annika Johansson, Christer Möller, Pauline Harper
Porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD), the third enzyme in the biosynthesis of heme, is deficient in acute intermittent porphyria (AIP). AIP is a genetic disease characterized by neurovisceral and psychiatric disturbances. Despite a palliative treatment, it may still be lethal. An initial step towards gene therapy was recently taken by showing that PBGD could be expressed to correct the enzyme deficien...... hiện toàn bộ
Interleukin-8 stimulates progesterone production via the MEK pathway in ovarian theca cellsMolecular and Cellular Biochemistry - - 2012
Takashi Shimizu, Eri Imamura, Fumie Magata, Chiaki Murayama, Akio Miyamoto
Interleukin 8 (IL-8) is a chemoattractant associated with ovulation in the mammalian ovary. This chemokine is also involved in the recruitment and activation of neutrophils. Using bovine tissue, we examined the possible role of IL-8 in steroid production by theca cells of the large ovarian follicles. IL-8 promoted progesterone production and stimulated StAR expression in cultured theca cells. The ...... hiện toàn bộ
Influence of collagen gel substrata on certain biochemical activities of hepatocytes in primary cultureMolecular and Cellular Biochemistry - Tập 137 - Trang 127-133 - 1994
Anitha Santhosh, P. R. Sudhakaran
In order to study the influence of cell shape as modulated by the extracellular matrix on the cellular activity, hepatocytes isolated from liver were maintained on collagen I coated plastic substrata and collage I gel substrata and certain hepatocyte specific functions were investigated. The incorporation of3[H]-leucine into total proteins and albumin secreted by cells maintained on collagen gel w...... hiện toàn bộ
